I have an older Apple TV and it keeps asking for my I tunes log in and password. I provide the correct one and it keeps asking. I couldn't even watch the Charley Brown Thanksgiving special.

My apple tv keeps asking for an Itunes id and password while trying to watch Apple TV.

What is your model Apple TV? Identify your Apple TV model - Apple Support


If you have an Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation) and two-factor authentication for your Apple ID, then you may be asked to type your password followed by the six-digit verification code directly into the password field. Additionally, there is a time limit, after which the code becomes invalid.


Try this: First enter the characters of your password (do not submit yet), then manually request a new verification code, then append that code to the password (no spaces or other separating characters), and then submit. That should help you get passed the time limit.

Apple TV+ subscription content is supported on Apple TV (3rd generation or later, software version 7.3 or later). Unfortunately not on 2nd generation. You can watch Apple TV+ on other devices as well, though.
