Apple TV not able to connect to iTunes for verification. Only two icons on screen.

This has been going on all morning and now late afternoon.

All of my other wifi devices can connect easily to the internet.

iTunes works fine on my iMac and MacBook Pro.

I am only getting the computer icon and the settings icon on my Apple TV.

I can find all of my content menus (paylists ect) when clicking the COMPUTER icon.

When I select something to play on the ApplleTV, I get a spinning wheel and it says "Authorization Needed".

EVERY OTHER Internet device works fine and connects to the iTunes store.

I have restarted my Apple TV. No Luck here.

thanks for reading this post
