Are you sure about the model? Identify your Apple TV model - Apple Support

If your Apple TV is a 4" black box, then it is at least 2nd generation.


The Apple TV (1st generation) doesn’t have access to the iTunes Store anymore. The Apple TV (1st generation) doesn’t sync with modern versions of iTunes anymore. It really is obsolete.


Older models Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation) do require an adjusted sign-in procedure, when there is two-factor authentication for your Apple ID account. Please see: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250420575
