Hello, I had reset and resorted my Apple TV4K which running on TVOS 14.4, after it is up, none of the apps can be install and just showing:

Unable to install “apps name”

Please try again later.

I have been trying again and again and again for 3 days already.

I had lookup whatever I can try from many forums but still not resolved, could anyone can help? Thank you.

Does the Apple TV box have a good and functional internet connection? Can the pre-installed Apple apps retrieve content from the internet?

Try another system restart from the menu: Settings﹥System﹥Restart.

Try restarting the router to help the Apple TV box re-connect to the internet.

Thank you for your advice. I have a stable internet connection and I always connected the box by copper with my router not WiFi and I did try restart and reset the box, log-out and log-in my Apple ID, iCloud, restart my router etc etc... but no luck.

Yes, the pre-installed apps working ok, I can still watching movies from Apple TV+ and iTune Movie. And, I can alter Audio and Video settings per my preference. Just the problem I cannot install other apps, it keeps showing TRY LATER!
