I recently got a new tv and had it installed and connected to our home theater system, dvd player and appletv.
Homesharing is turned on in my Mac and I am able to stream pictures from iphoto to the tv so
the wireless network is correct.
Whenever I try to pick a movie or go to my computer on the tv, and I enter the
password, the screen says "Unable to signin. Cannot connect to the server at
this time. try later."
Any ideas?
Apple TV, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)
Hi luckystarr,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Below is the basic troubleshooting guide for Apple TV.
Restarting the modem and the Apple TV is a good first step.

Still having the same problem.
I did power off and on Apple TV and TV as instructed.
Whenever I try to enter my iTunes password it says: Unable to sign in
Apply tv can't connect to the server at this time. Please try later.
The wireless connection seems fine because I was getting my pictures
to show up on the tv.
I removed my itunes account on the tv (under settings) and tried to re-enter it the name and password
and I get the same: Unable to sign in.
On my mac, I do have homesharing on.
I also have an ipad and iPhone. I have homesharing on the iPad.
At one point (a few days ago), it did says Suzanne's library on the tv under the computer section, but later
that night it was gone. Kind of strange. I did notice on the music icon (on the tv) at the top
it said "now syncing with itunes account" but it was like it was stuck.
I really would appreciate your help with this.
