I have this problem, too. Just started about a week ago, after a couple of years of being able to sign in to YouTube on both my Apple TV's.


The puzzle deepens. The version of the YouTube site I can reach on Safari on my iPad has a "Help" section which says "YouTube does not support YouTube on Apple TV. For issues please visit Apple's Support Forum."


What's that all about? Why have a YouTube app on Apple TV if you can't sign in to it? This is new, since I have always been able to do this before.


What's going on? And what can be done about it?

What's the story? Beats me. I was able to satisfactorily sign in to YouTube from both my Apple TV's (2nd and 3rd gen) for a couple of years. Suddenly a few weeks ago I cannot. As I said above, for some reason YouTube says they don't support Apple TV any more. Perhaps there is some feud between Apple and Google which accounts for this. There do seem to be some complicated sign in procedures which will allow sign in, but my reaction is to **** with it. I don't need Google that much.
