Common Apple TV+ Issues During Outages

Content not loading or buffering

Shows and movies may fail to load, buffer endlessly, or display playback errors during Apple TV+ outages.

Sign-in and authentication failures

Users may be unable to log in with their Apple ID or get repeated authentication errors during service disruptions.

Downloads not syncing

Offline downloads may fail to sync or become unavailable during Apple infrastructure issues.

Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume Apple TV+ Is Down

  1. 1

    Check Apple System Status

    Visit apple.com/support/systemstatus to see if Apple TV+ is officially listed as experiencing issues.

  2. 2

    Sign out and back into your Apple ID

    Authentication token refreshes often fix playback errors. Go to Settings → Apple ID, sign out, then sign back in.

  3. 3

    Force-close and reopen the app

    On Apple TV or iPhone, force-close the TV app and relaunch. This clears cached state that may be causing issues.

  4. 4

    Check your internet connection

    Test your connection speed — Apple TV+ recommends at least 25 Mbps for 4K HDR content.

  5. 5

    Update the app and device software

    Outdated versions of tvOS, iOS, or the TV app can cause playback issues unrelated to Apple's servers.
