Hi! I see you’re getting a "No Internet Connection" error on the HISTORY app on your Mac running OS X 10.15.7, with a message asking to check network and date/time settings before retrying. Let’s work on sorting this out together.

To start, could you tell me if other apps or websites on your Mac are connecting to the internet fine? Also, have you tried restarting the app or your Mac yet?

Meanwhile, here’s a step-by-step to fix this kind of connectivity issue with the HISTORY app:

1. Check Network Connection
Make sure your Mac is connected to the Wi-Fi or Ethernet properly: click the Wi-Fi icon in the top-right menu bar to confirm it shows connected. You can also open Safari and try loading a webpage to confirm internet access.

2. Verify Date & Time Settings
The error message specifically asks to check date/time:
- Click the Apple menu () > System Preferences > Date & Time.
- Make sure “Set date and time automatically” is checked and your Mac is synced to the internet time server. If it’s unchecked, please check it and let it update.

3. Restart the HISTORY App
Close the app fully by right-clicking its icon in the Dock and selecting Quit, then open it again.

4. Restart Your Mac
Sometimes a simple reboot clears network hiccups.

5. Update the App and OS
Verify that the HISTORY app is up to date via the App Store updates. Also, check for any OS updates under System Preferences > Software Update, as fixes for network bugs are sometimes included.

6. Check Firewall or Security Settings
If you have any firewall, VPN, or security software, temporarily disable them to see if they might be blocking app connectivity.

If after these steps the app still shows no connection while your internet is working fine, it might be an issue on the app’s side or a deeper network configuration issue on your Mac.

Please try these and let me know what happens at each step, so I can guide you further!

Network is fine. I use a Fire Cube. Not sure where to adjust DTG

Thanks for letting me know your network is fine and that you're using a Fire TV Cube. When you mention "DTG," I want to confirm—do you mean Date and Time settings? That’s usually what the error message about checking "date/time" refers to. Correcting the date and time on the Fire TV Cube can often resolve connection issues with apps like HISTORY.

Here’s how you can check and adjust the date and time on your Fire TV Cube:

1. On your Fire TV Cube remote, press the Home button.
2. Navigate to Settings from the main menu (usually a gear icon).
3. Scroll to Preferences, then select Date & Time.
4. Make sure Automatic Date & Time is turned ON. This setting syncs your device’s clock with Amazon’s time servers.
5. If it’s off or manually set, turn it on, and your device should update to the correct current time.
6. After updating, restart the Fire TV Cube.

Once you’ve done this, try launching the HISTORY app again to see if the "No Internet Connection" error disappears.

If “DTG” refers to something else or you want me to guide you through additional Fire TV Cube settings related to the app, just let me know! I want to make sure we’re on the same page.

Also, if you want a video walkthrough of Fire TV Cube settings in general, here’s a helpful link to a recent tutorial on Fire TV settings: Fire TV New Update Settings Breakdown | Full Tutorial[1].

Are you ready to try the date/time update on your Fire TV Cube?

Still no luck. Not sure how to reboot the app. I reloaded it and it had the same issue. I’m not aware of any VPN on my Fire Cube

Thanks for the update. Since you mentioned you reloaded the app but still got the same issue, and you’re not sure how to reboot or reset the HISTORY app on your Fire TV Cube, I can guide you through a more thorough app reset and device restart process, which often resolves these connection errors.

Here’s a step-by-step to reset the HISTORY app and restart your Fire TV Cube properly:

1. Clear the HISTORY app cache and data
- On your Fire TV Cube remote, press the Home button.
- Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications.
- Scroll down to HISTORY app and select it.
- Choose Clear Cache first, then Clear Data. Clearing data resets the app as if freshly installed.

2. Uninstall and reinstall the HISTORY app (You mentioned you reloaded it, so you may skip if done recently.)
- If not, from the same menu, choose Uninstall, then reinstall the app from the Amazon Appstore.

3. Restart the Fire TV Cube
- The cleanest way is to do a full restart:
- Go to Settings > My Fire TV > Restart and confirm. The device will reboot.
- Alternatively, unplug the power cord from the Fire TV Cube for 30 seconds, then plug it back in.

This full reset cycle (clear cache and data, reinstall app if needed, restart device) often fixes stubborn app connectivity issues.

If after these steps the app still says "No Internet Connection," there might be a deeper problem with the app’s compatibility or server side, and you might want to check if the HISTORY service has any outages or contact their support at [email protected].

Here’s a useful YouTube guide that walks through fixing HISTORY app issues on Fire TV in detail: How To Fix the History App on a Fire TV[1].

Please give the above a try and let me know how it goes! Are you comfortable trying those steps now?

No joy. Still had the same message

Thanks for hanging in there with these steps. Since you’re still seeing the "No Internet Connection" message after clearing app data, reinstalling, checking network, and restarting your Fire TV Cube, it’s time to look deeper and consult official HISTORY app troubleshooting guidance to make sure nothing is missed.

Based on the HISTORY app support materials, here are some additional things we can try:

1. Check for Authentication or Authorization Issues
Sometimes “no internet connection” errors can actually be related to login or subscription authorization problems. Make sure your TV package or streaming subscription includes HISTORY and that you’re properly logged in. If you get prompted to re-authenticate or sign in, try logging out and back in again. You can find details on such errors here: HISTORY Authentication Help[5].

2. Verify Your Account Status
If your account on HISTORY’s platform has any issues like expired subscriptions or password problems, that can block streaming. Try signing into your HISTORY account on a web browser and check your subscription status.

3. Try a Different Device or Platform
To isolate if this is Fire TV Cube-specific, see if the HISTORY app works okay on another device (e.g., your Mac's browser, phone, or a different streaming device). If it works elsewhere but not on Fire TV Cube, it’s either a device or app-level issue on the Cube.

4. Contact HISTORY Support
Since you’ve done all the typical local troubleshooting, there may be a server-side or app bug currently affecting the Fire TV app. HISTORY’s official troubleshooting page can be helpful: HISTORY Troubleshooting[1].
You can also reach out to their support directly at [email protected] for advanced assistance.

5. Fire TV Software Updates & Network Settings Reset
Double-check your Fire TV Cube’s software is up to date under Settings > My Fire TV > About > Check for Updates.
You can also try resetting your Fire TV network settings by forgetting your Wi-Fi network and reconnecting it fresh to rule out subtle network config issues.

If you want, I can walk you through these additional checks step-by-step or help draft a detailed message to HISTORY support explaining the exact error and troubleshooting you’ve done so far.

How would you like to proceed? Are you able to check your account status and try the app on another device?

It works on my iPhone

Great to hear the HISTORY app works on your iPhone! That tells us the problem is specific to your Fire TV Cube rather than your account or subscription.

Regarding your question about “HISTORY app iPhone compatibility issues,” it seems there are no widespread compatibility problems with the HISTORY app on iOS devices. Many users run it fine on iPhones without issue. The fact it works on your iPhone is a good sign that your account and the app itself are functioning properly on supported platforms4.

Since the issue is isolated to your Fire TV Cube, here are a few final ideas to try:

1. Fire TV Cube Software Update
Double-check your Fire TV Cube is fully updated:
- Go to Settings > My Fire TV > About > Check for Updates.
- Install any available updates and restart the device.

2. Network Settings Reset on Fire TV Cube
Forget your Wi-Fi network and reconnect:
- Settings > Network > Select your Wi-Fi > Choose “Forget this Network.”
- Then rescan and connect fresh with your Wi-Fi password.

3. Create a New Fire TV Profile (if possible)
Sometimes user profiles get corrupted. See if you can create a new profile on Fire TV Cube and install HISTORY there to test connectivity.

4. Reach Out to HISTORY Support
Since you’ve tried the key troubleshooting steps already, contacting HISTORY’s support team to report this Fire TV-specific connectivity issue is a good idea: [email protected]

Here’s a detailed walkthrough to troubleshoot HISTORY app issues on iOS and Fire TV from HISTORYFix that might also help reinforce these steps: Troubleshooting the Mobile App[4].

For time all it has is 24 hour time on and time zone

Thanks for pointing out what you see in the time settings on your Fire TV Cube; it makes sense that you only have options for "24-hour time" and "time zone."

Regarding the HISTORY app, there isn’t a specific setting within the app itself to change between 12-hour or 24-hour time formats or to adjust the time zone. Instead, the app relies on your device’s system clock and time zone settings. Since your Fire TV Cube only lets you toggle the 24-hour format or set the correct time zone under Settings > Preferences > Date & Time, the key thing is making sure:

- The time zone matches your actual location, and
- The 24-hour time toggle is set as you prefer (either on or off).

Incorrect time zone or system time can cause connection errors in some streaming apps, so having those correct is crucial even if you can’t directly select AM/PM time within the app.

Since you’ve confirmed the network is fine and your date/time shows only those two Fire TV options, and the app works on your iPhone but not on the Fire TV Cube, the date/time format itself is unlikely the main cause—more so the actual system clock accuracy or network configuration on the Fire TV device.

If the time zone is correct and you still get "No Internet Connection" errors, I recommend focusing on:

- Clearing the HISTORY app cache/data again,
- Restarting the Fire TV Cube fully,
- Forgetting and reconnecting your Wi-Fi network on the Fire TV, and
- Checking for Fire TV system updates.

These are the steps that affect how your device communicates and authenticates with the app’s servers.

If you’d like, I can walk you through any of those steps again with detailed guidance tailored to your Fire TV Cube. Would you like me to do that?

How about I unplug the system for 60 seconds and try again (after deleting the History app again) if that doesn’t work, I’ll try History Help Desk

That sounds like a solid plan! Unplugging your Fire TV Cube for 60 seconds gives it a full power cycle, which can clear out temporary glitches that a simple restart might miss. And deleting the HISTORY app again beforehand ensures you have a fresh install when you try next.

If that doesn't clear up the problem, reaching out to the HISTORY Help Desk at [email protected] is definitely the right next step—they can check for any account or service-side issues, or provide you with additional troubleshooting specific to Fire TV devices.

Also, just to mention, unplugging your modem and router briefly (if you haven't done that recently) can sometimes help if the network is causing subtle issues4.

Feel free to let me know how it goes after the power cycle and reinstall, or if you want help drafting your message to HISTORY support.

Are you good with this plan?

It didn’t work. I unplugged the router, the Cube, TV, modem, etc.

Thanks for the update and for trying the full power cycle with all your devices. Since the “No Internet Connection” message on the HISTORY app persists even after rebooting your Fire TV Cube, modem, router, and TV, here are some additional focused steps based on common troubleshooting for this exact kind of issue:

1. Clear App Cache and Data Again:
- On your Fire TV Cube, go to Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications > HISTORY app.
- Select Clear Cache first, then Clear Data. This resets the app entirely and can resolve stubborn connection errors.

2. Check for Fire TV Cube Software Updates:
- Go to Settings > My Fire TV > About > Check for Updates.
- Install any available updates and restart your Fire TV Cube.

3. Forget and Reconnect to Wi-Fi:
- Go to Settings > Network > Select your current Wi-Fi network > Choose Forget this Network.
- Reconnect to Wi-Fi by selecting your network again and entering your password fresh.

4. Test Other Streaming Apps:
- Open other streaming apps (like Netflix, YouTube) on your Fire TV Cube to confirm the internet is working fine on the device in general. This helps isolate the HISTORY app issue.

5. If Possible, Factory Reset Fire TV Cube (Last Resort):
- This step erases all your data and apps, returning the Cube to factory settings.
- Go to Settings > My Fire TV > Reset to Factory Defaults.
- Only do this if you’re okay with setting up the device again from scratch, as it often fixes deep software glitches.

6. Contact HISTORY Support:
- Since you've tried extensive troubleshooting and the app works on your iPhone but not Fire TV Cube, the issue might be related to the app’s Fire TV version or server-side problems.
- Contact HISTORY Help Desk at [email protected] with your detailed troubleshooting steps.

It’s something local. It works on my phone & iPad, so it’s not the wi-fi

Thanks for sharing that insight—that the HISTORY app works fine on your iPhone and iPad and you’re confident the Wi-Fi isn’t the problem. Since the issue is local to your Fire TV Cube and not network-related, it’s smart to focus on device-specific settings or app conflicts there.

Here are some suggestions based on typical causes for local app connectivity problems not related to Wi-Fi:

1. Check DNS Settings on Fire TV Cube:
Some apps have trouble resolving internet addresses if DNS settings are misconfigured or the default DNS server is having issues. Fire TV devices generally use your router’s DNS by default, but you can try manually setting a public DNS such as Google’s (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare’s (1.1.1.1).
- Unfortunately, Fire TV itself doesn’t allow manual DNS entry in settings directly. You’d need to adjust your router’s DNS settings if possible and then reconnect the Fire TV.

2. Clear Cache and Data of the HISTORY App Again:
Even if you’ve done it before, doing it fresh after network and power cycles can help. Sometimes cache data gets corrupted on the device itself.

3. Check for Fire TV System and App Updates:
Keeping your Fire TV Cube and apps updated minimizes bugs causing network-like errors.

4. Try a Factory Reset as a Last Resort:
If all else fails, resetting your Fire TV Cube back to factory settings can clear any corrupted system files that might block app connectivity.

5. Disable any Reserved or Private IP Address Features:
If your router has advanced settings like IP reservation or client isolation, try disabling these temporarily. Sometimes these features unintentionally block device access to certain app servers.

6. Verify Date & Time Accuracy on Fire TV Cube:
Even if the Wi-Fi is fine, wrong system time or time zone can cause apps to reject connections.

7. If You’re Using Ethernet with Fire TV Cube:
Temporarily switch to Wi-Fi and test the app (or vice versa). Sometimes wired or wireless connection modes can interfere differently.

Since this clearly isn't a Wi-Fi internet outage, these local device or network config tweaks are the next best moves.

If you like, I can walk you through checking your router’s DNS settings or the factory reset process on your Fire TV Cube.

Would you like me to do that?

No thank you. I appreciate the help and patience.
