Q: only within the last 3 days my apple tv says there is a connection problem with you tube. all other programmes work like movies and all other apps. the problem is associated with you tube only. My applemac and I pad work just fine.

Hey Greatergads,

I see that you are experiencing issues with a third-party content provider on the Apple TV. I have an article for you that will help you address these issues, and it can be found here:

If you have playback issues with a content provider's services

In most cases, you can isolate playback issues to your home network, your broadband connection, or a possible outage with a content provider. To see if your issue is affecting multiple services or a specific content provider, try another service. For example, play a movie trailer from the main menu.

 

• If the issue is affecting multiple services on your Apple TV, see how to troubleshoot playback performance.
• If the issue is affecting a single content provider on your Apple TV, restart your Apple TV by going to Settings > General > Restart. If the issue continues, you might need to contact the content provider.

You can also use the information in this article to aid you in your troubleshooting:

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
