Apple TV 2nd generation does not log into MobileMe Gallery password protected folders. When entering username and password it returns not recognised. This does not happen when logging into Gallery using a Mac or PC.
I have the same issues with my AppleTV black. Link to iTunes lost and MobileMe does not recognize my user name and password. Would also like to know how to pair my iPhone and iPad with the new Apple TV.
Yes but once you enter the login information you don't have to do it again so that means everyone in the family would have access to your private galleries.
And the reason it's not taking your login information is because you don't have any publicly available photos in your gallery. Upload some publicly available photos and make sure you aren't using the @me or @mac part in your username and it will work.
I have public folders and private folders in my gallery but ATV will still not login to the the private folders. Apple obviously intended that you could login or why else would they give you a login process. This just does not work yet
If you have public photos and you are only using the beginning part of your username then you might be using the wrong username and password or one that is no longer valid. Other people are not having any problems with the login process. Try logging in to mobileme on your computer just to make sure you're using the correct information. Apple updated it's login process last week to require lower and uppercase characters and at least 1 number to make it more secure so that might have something to do with it.
I agree with junebug172... there's something wrong if you can't access your own private galleries on your own AppleTV. I have a gallery that I created to use as a screensaver, but I don't want to make it public. People in my house seeing the pictures on the TV is OK... people I don't know seeing the pictures, not OK. This seems to be an oversight in the 2nd generation Apple TV.
As an attempted workaround, I made the gallery public, selected it on the AppleTV, then reset the gallery to private (hoping it would remember where the pictures were). It didn't work.
I also cannot log into MobileMe on my AppleTV 2G after trying all the suggestions so far. I also upgraded to 4.2.1 last night and still cannot login. It says MM account could not be found...anyone know how to fix this?
