I think the current title is mistaken, the twitter user isn't claiming he can't use the Apple TV, he's just saying the message appears.

I encountered the same message when iOS 16 had just released and wasn't available on my iPad yet. It wasn't a blocking message, pressing "OK" was enough to make it go away, and when iPadOS 16 finally came out I was able to clear it.

It's bad UX but the Apple TV can still be used as before.

[twitter OP] This is true. Appears once a day or so, you hit OK. Sometimes during a show you're watching, sometimes while it starts up. Don't know if it becomes blocking some day...

Had something similar while setting up apple TV on a non-apple device for my parents, also had no apple devices.

Turns out, in my case at least, the warning was a little misleading.

It required me to log into their apple / icloud account and accept some terms, I did this with a normal browser (again non-apple) and the warning went away.

May be different in your case as I was setting up a new account for them.

The title is about the prompt requesting another device, not about wether they can't use the Apple TV after dismissing the prompt. So factually the title is right.

I'm with you that it's hard to understood at a glance or without context...which is to me a perfect encapsulation of the whole situation, and what makes the discussion so interesting.

Title has been updated since the parent comment was posted

My bad.

I had this on my MacBook. It kept asking me to accept iCloud terms over and over again. The fix was to sign out of iCloud and sign in again. Try that?

Yes, I'm flagging the submission because of this -- I'm sure tons of people are upvoting based on the totally inaccurate title.

Which I feel weird about because I don't want to flag the story or the tweet or the comments... it's just the title specifically. So I kind of wish there were a way to flag a title. Hopefully it gets dang's attention and he'll handle it.

it gets dang's attention and he'll handle it.

That attention is easy to get with an email. As to the story, it just becomes a story about an irritating periodic modal which is not very interesting once the title misunderstanding is gone.
