Hello Sherri977,


Given you have this issue on a Fire TV device, then we'd recommend taking these steps to try and solve this error with Apple TV+:


  1. Check for outages for Apple TV+: Apple - Support - System Status
  2. Test other content within the app: Test other TV shows and movies in the Apple TV+ app. If the issue happens with all other content, proceed to step 3.
  3. Restart the connected TV.
  4. Restart the Fire stick: Restart Your Fire TV Device
  5. Remove the Apple TV app and then add it back again: Uninstall Games & Apps on Your Fire TV
  6. Check your Apple TV+ subscription to ensure it's active.


If you have an active subscription and these steps don't resolve the issue, then it may be best to partner with Apple Support on a solution: Get Support They'd need to take it from here.


Take care.
