Re: Apple TV wifi connection

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Marcus,

Go to this link: 
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204915?cid=tw_sc_pub_all_twofactorauthentication
Two-factor authentication for Apple ID

 

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to find the "What if I use 
two-factor authentication on a device running older software?" section to find 
the solution:

 

"If you use two-factor authentication with devices running older OS versions, 
you might be asked to add your six-digit verification code to the end of your 
password when signing in. Get your verification code from a trusted device 
running iOS 9 or OS X El Capitan, or have it sent to your trusted phone number. 
Then type your password followed by the six-digit verification code directly 
into the password field."

 

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Apple TV wifi connection

[Marcus F Harris]

Hi, I just read this thread because I can’t get my older Apple TV to “connect 
to the server”.
When I start it up and try to access content, it recognises my Apple ID but 
refuses the valid ppassword.
However I get a text from Apple stating that “a device needs a second level 
passcode with 6 numbers
I tried re-entering the password adding on the 6 numbers. No advance.
I went back to the iMac nd it didn’t recognise the ATV, neither did my iPhone 
5s.
There never was aproblem like this.
Anyway, I’m wondering whether I should persevere OR chuck it out and buy a new 
ATV4?
What do you recommend?
cheers

Apple TV wifi connection

[Severin Crisp]

I have used my Apple TV for some years with nary a glitch.  Recently the Apple 
TV,, for no reason regularly, every few days shows disconnection from wifi and 
reconnects happily immediately for several days. The wifi is shut down from 
midnight to 8.30am daily but earlier the connection was retained through this 
routine.   
This may have started since Sierra but I can not be sure
