Apple TV Can't "Access iTunes Store" after UPDATE. The SOLUTION.

Thank you. That worked for me as well!

Way to go, Saucin! It worked for me, too! Hooray!

All this squawking about separating posts into multiple topics is rediculous.

Half an hour of googling lead me here to THIS THREAD. I don't have time to read every other thread that might be similar to find the fix.

While issue is the same ( identical things my ATV2 wouldn't do as the OP and others) a simple sign out and sign in didn't work for me...and I didn't want to re-enter all my config data.

BUT signing out of iTUnes and doing a Restart ( General>Restart) while signed out worked. Signed back in to iTUnes and everything is good.

You see WInston, sometimes there are multiple solutions for the same BS problem. It's helpful if they are ALL in the same place instead of spreading them all over the place.

Can't tell you how happy I am to read and discover this. Have been tearing my hair out with Apple TV not connecting to iTunes store since last iTunes update and this seems to have fixed the problem. 🙂

As a Level 69 warlock, even I found Level 3 Dave's "me too" problem useful. Just goes to show that even at Level 9 you should still be open to youngerlings innovative ideas! Thanks Dave! I'd have been Walking Deadless without you!

I had to do a reset from the General options

Tried the reset as well as loggin in and out and both options did not work. ATV still says itunes store currently unavailable at this time. very frustrating.

None of the options worked for me when I signed out I cant sign back in it says "cannot connect to itunes store". I tried the reset still same thing.

THIS DIDNT WORK.

Wont let me sign in and sign out.

So I just did a RESET in settings.. Typed in my Internet Password and the error message says:

There was a problem connecting to the network. The WiFi password is not correct. Try again (-3294)

I will try again. This is a nightmare. Been trying to watch the final season of Breaking Bad for a month..

Will not connect.

Tried 5 times... and it finally went thru. So I set it all up again.. seems to be working.

I thought it was an error at apple why i could not enter the podcasts.

Did not work for some months almost.

so....

Log out -> In did not work for me. Reset did... bit of a job to add all your account info from iTunes, iCloud and Netflix again.... but ok.

Apple...pay attention to this kind of bugs.... it is not teh Apple way!

Looks like I'm a little late to the discussion of this problem, as I didn't discover the problem until last night (2/7/2014).

I had the automatic updates setting turned OFF on my ATV, but the update came through anyhow. I suppose Apple determined that the update was important enough to force it down. However, It would've been nice that as a part of the update, they presented a message to the user to the ATV needed to be restarted, and gave instructions on how to do so.

Anyway, to fix the problem I:

1. Signed out of iTunes Store.

2. Signed out of iCloud.

3. Fully rebooted my ATV (not just put it to sleep).

4. Signed into iTunes Store and iCloud.

Afterward, everything worked fine. 🙂

And now we are still having this problem, May 6, 2015. Will Apple ever wake up and fix this ???

Sure miss Steve Jobs. Can't imagine this being a problem for over 3 years under his watch.

Hi I'd just like to contribute if anyone else is reading this and still cannot solve it.

I tried the tip to "Airplay" and used "Mirror my Screen" from my iPhone against the Apple TV, that was all that was needed, when entering the settings after that Everything was up and running...
