"apple tv can't connect to the server at this time. please try later."

Thank you so much. This definitely worked for me.

Thanks. Saved me a lot of grief!

Tried logging out-back in, remote control reset, full reset ... No Joy ... None of these work.

This is a 2,1 with updated OS. Worked beautifully, reliably with no issues until yesterday. Does not happen on all apps but does on the "Radio" app, which I have used regularly and without issue ... until now.

And again .... the situation is identical on a second Apple TV (a 3,1) in my home.

This suggest that this is an Apple problem.

And now, a day later ... and after doing nothing more ... everything works. Go figure!

Thanks Shawn 296, it work to me and I can enjoy the Apple TV again with my computer Tune library. Thanks a lot.

Worked for me! Thanks. Very frustrating!

Brilliant! This works! Thanks!

okay. So, that doesn't work! It insists that I'm entering my password incorrectly - which of course apple made me add a capital to - but I am doing their RIDICULOUS rigamarole to try to sign on to Apple TV, to no avail (signing in using the HORRIBLE keyset included with Apple TV, THEN going into my mobile to get their ADDITIONAL number code that I need, over and OVER again) and it says that I've entered my password wrong as well as that it can't access the server. BUT HOW ON EARTH IS IT PRODUCING THE NEW STUPID 6-DIGIT NUMERICAL CODES, THEN? If I "can't access the server."?

Thanks Shawn, this worked! Took seconds

Great tip Shawn! Thanks!

This solution still holds up 3 years later! So glad I found this page...I was about to lose my mind! Thanks!
