Can't login to Apple TV plus

I get through the login screen, scan the QR code, login in on my device through apples two party authentication, the TV refreshes then says I have been logged out and need to login again despite still being logged in on my phone. I have tried several times with QR code and several times with letter code. Any advice would be great. Using Xfinity box, and internet.

All,

Here is an interim solution provided by Apple that should help to resolve the issue. Please follow the directions below:

 

  1. Log in to Apple TV on macOS, IOS
  2. Windows users can log into Apple TV at https://tv.apple.com
  3. A Terms and Conditions prompt will display. To proceed, accept the Terms and Conditions.
  4. Log in from your Xfinity X1 or Flex device

 

Please let us know if you continue to experience issues. Thank you’re your continued patience as we work to find a permanent solution.

@XfinityJessie​ sorry but everyone with this problem is already logged in to Apple TV with their other devices -- that still doesn't enable the Xfinity Apple TV app to work and let you log in -- that's the whole problem

@plsntnrules​ I didnt have to accept anything when going to tv.apple.com I'm sure I have done this from my browser in the past. When I opened the Xfinity AppleTV app I was already logged. Odd, first time I've been logged in on the app and it didn't require a code. It's almost as if a previous attempt completed. Now if they could just get my bill

Thanks for taking the time to reach out to us regarding your issues with the Apple TV app. I am so sorry to hear that you are having trouble using this app on your X1 device. Have you attempted to log in using any other device? If so what was the result? Also, have you attempted to log in using other methods other than the QR code?

@XfinityMichelle​ I am having the same issue. I tried the QR code and the 4 digit code on the website. In both cases it asks me to sign in. I can open apple TV on my computer. Also on the smart TV if I don't go through the cable box. I called xfinity twice. The first time they told me I needed to update my cable box. I went to the store and they gave me the exact same box.!? I called again they said they needed to send a code to the box. Neither of these "solutions" worked.

Exact same issue.

Can login to apple tv on my phone and my laptop but when trying to do so on xfinity it gives me activation code and when I activate it on my phone xfinity will go thru the motions of signing me in and then just tells me that I have signed out and just stays in that loop.

What gives?

I would recommend reaching out to Jessie with a DM if you have a specific question using the instructions outlined.

 

Also, for anyone having issues getting access to AppleTv+ on their Xfinity X1 set top box, please make sure your box is not one of the following models (which are not compatible with the AppleTV+ app):

    • RNG150, Pace and Arris XG1v1, Samsung XG2v2 and Pace Xi3 X1 TV Boxes and Pace Xi5 Flex streaming TV Boxes are not supported.

 

I no longer work for Comcast.

I've been having the same issues since they've launched the app. Curious if anyone who has sent a DM to xfinity was able to get it resolved and log in. Wondering if a simple log in  directly on xfinity, rather than going through your mobile device, would eliminate the issue.

Swell, by the looks of this thread there is definitely an issue. So, the QR code or the url seems to work but then the tv screen refreshes and nada. You can try this from mobile device or computer with the same result. The support from Comcast SUCKS! Not just with this issue, I mean in general.

@another_disappointed.customer​ I second that emotion. Not sure why I haven't cut the cord. I keep giving them second chances.

@plsntnrules​ I actually did cut the cord as far as their tv and phone service. Unfortunately, I have to keep their internet service but the amount of times they've dropped the ball is ridiculous and don't get me started on their tech support. Lack of properly logging calls, misinformation, etc. We'll see what happens with this issue but I'm not going to hold my breath. Good luck!

Where is the solution? I don’t see it

maybe it’s because my Apple ID and xfinity Id is different? Did apple update that yet?

The temporary workaround provided by Apple has been shared on this thread. It was authored by me and it can find it directly below the original post. It is easy to identify as it marked as the "Official Solution" for this thread.

Did this information help you? Is there anything else we can assist with while we wait for a more permanent fix?

Just so you are aware, you will use your Apple ID credentials when logging into the Apple TV app not your Xfinity ID.

Same issue here.  After months of complaints you think this issue would be fixed already!!!! Not just a “work around”.
