Apple TV 2.

Anyone experienced this and know how to fix it.?

Won't accept homeshare or connect to iTunes, so is currently useless.

Making me a little irritated.
 
Your username and password ( username usually email address) can be diddly on the ATVs remote.

You could try re setting the device to factory default, then update and try again.

I tried this and the AT2 is now hanging at reboot. There's just an apple on my tv screen...
 
I restored via usb and iTunes and I still have the same issue as OP.

Password is correct. As is user name. Have restored. Same problem persists.

Any other suggestions?
 
Do you have an _underscore_ in your email address? Awhile back, I had to change my Netflix email address on the Appletv 2 and netflix website because it could not deal with an underscore in my login.
 
Sometimes I type in my MobileMe address instead of my Apple ID... Just a thought.
