ATV will see homeshare but will not load and play video.

ATV2 will see and connect to my homeshare library but when I try to watch anything (Movie, TV Show, etc) it shows the loading animation for about 5 minutes and then says that an error has occurred. It was all working two days ago but stopped working when we had a power outage. I have tried resetting the computer, the ATV2, and the router. I have also tried restoring the ATV2. Nothing works. Again, it will allow me to select a video to watch but will try to load and fail.
ATV2- up to date.
iTunes- up to date.
iMac- up to date.
No Firewall.
I am not sure what else to do here guys... I have tried literally EVERYTHING that I have found in these support topics and everything that I could think of to get this to work again. I also have an ATV3 in the other room and it is working fine. I know it is NOT a bandwidth issue because everything was working just fine until the power outage 2 days ago which lasted only about 2 seconds..
Any suggestions?
About ready to drop-kick this thing and go get a new ATV3 from the Apple Store...
HELP?!
Mahalo (Thanks) for any help you can give!
Steve.

I am sorry to see that no one replied to this issue.  has it been resolved?  Unfortunately not for me.  I am having the same problem.  Interestingly enough I can play music files from my homesharing iTunes library but I cannot play any video content - including music video. 
APT2 Loads content (take at least 3 min.)
Indicates that the movie is there
I click play or select
The gear starts spinning
5 minutes later I get the error message: An error occurred loading this content.  Try again later.
I have not changed anything in the house regarding computers or routers - other than updating Apple TV 2

  • Quicktime video (.mov file) will not load and play in Firefox 3.6.16

    I have a computer with Firefox 3.6.16 installed that will not play Quicktime videos (.mov files) in the browser. This is a desktop computer.
    Another computer (laptop) with exactly the same version of Firefox installed will load and play them perfectly in the Quicktime player.
    Both computers have Quicktime addin 7.6.9.0 installed and designated as the default application for Quicktime movies.
    Both computers play the videos correctly in IE 8.
    When attempting to play the video in Firefox, the player window opens and attempts to load the video, but soon seems to freeze leaving a black window open where the player should be.
    From what I have observed, this seems to be a problem related specifically to this computer, and since the video plays in IE I have ruled out the firewall blocking loading from the site.

    Hi, I've exactly the same problem, 'cept I've XP Pro. When I say exactly, I mean the format used is HDV 1080i60, along with everything else there.
    And I'm right there with you. Why Quicktime can't play a natively encoded HDV Quicktime file (using Final Cut Pro), is beyond me, but basically, I've used K-Lite Codec Pack, and Quicktime. Neither work, although Quicktime does ask for internet connectivity to download resources or something similar (I don't have Internet Access at home). I've used VLC on a friend's PC, and, while it works, there is a very strange, and irritating flicker where there's heavy movement
    Where can I get the resource needed, as another party needs to view the clip, and they already have it. So if they can update their codec library or similar, then that would be much better (as I wouldn't need to upload a FullHD Video again)
    thanks

    If you are getting the blank app update screen, many, many people are having this problem over the last couple of days. It is a problem that Apple must fix now.
    According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
    If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
    1. Go to App Store
    2. Select Purchased
    3. Select All
    4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
    5. Select update on the Apps
    This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. Apple needs to fix this. It is a workaround only until then.

  • After loading the latest Aperture 3 update, aperture will not load and it appears to have corrupted 10.6.  10.6.7 now appears to be missing from the computer and my administrator status has changed to standard.

    After loading the latest Aperture 3 update, aperture will not load and it appears to have corrupted 10.6.7. and now appears to be missing from the computer and my administrator status has changed to standard.  Update Software says I need to do update to 10.6.7 which I can't do because administrator privileges are gone.   I didn't back-up with Time Machine ,BAD, but I have all files backed-up on another hard drive.  Should I just reformat and start over?  Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

    PROBLEM SOLVED! For me at least!
    Apple Support gave me the clue - I had run Migration Assistant, and it had obligingly replaced a system file (/Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager) with the equivalent from my old system.
    I reinstalled 10.6.7 using the DVD supplied and all is well.
    The moral is - don't use Migration Assistant.
    Along the way Apple Support provided me with a link to download Combo update 10.6.7: this could not be installed on my iMac.
    Hope this helps.

  • After I sync  my apple iphone 3g with microsoft outlook 2007 contacts my apps will not load and start

    I have an Iphone 3G about 5 years old and tried to sync it for the first time with microsoft outlook 2007 on my laptop and completed the sync for my contacts.  After that, when I tried to used any downloaded apps, they will not load and start.  I powered off theiphone and restarted it -- no change.
    When I touch the app, it fills the screen for a split second as if it wants to start, but nothing happens.  This is with all downloaded apps (free or paid for) only.  Everything else works fine.

  • HT1595 My AppleTV will not load and hold streaming video

    My Apple TV will not load streaming video such as Netflix etc.  All appears to be going well until we get to the 'PLAY' button.  When 'PLAY' is hit it looks as if it is going to load the content.  However, as soon as the content starts to play the msg: "An error has occurred loading this content - try again later" appears.  No matter how many times you try to repeat - you may get 5 sec, 5 minutes but it will then come up with the error msg and force you to recycle to resume where the content crapped out.  WHAT IS HAPPENING?  Is it some setting?  Is it download speed (we have 10mbps on the computer which is on the same wireless network as the Apple TV)?
    Appreciate any help I can get.
    Thanks
    Rich

    In streaming content you must go to Source in the ATV menu and choose the library you want to stream from. Are you doing this? You will not see the ATV on your computer, only vice versa (IOW, with iTunes open on that computer you should not see the ATV as a device -- if you do, disable "Look for Apple TV" in the menu as that may be preventing you from streaming from it).
    If you choose the source as your other computer's library and after entering code cannot stream then see this:

  • Since the update loaded on my computer my web pages will not load and i get invalid url message

    Ever since firefox updated to 17, my web pages will not load. When I type in the search bar and hit the enter button, the address switches to https and i get a message stating that my page is an invalid url and the following message
    Reference #9.1db78443.1354339468.3c70717c
    I have cleared my histories and cookies and restarted my computer but cant get it to work.
    I can type in www.google and go directly to the google page and then gain access to my pages, just not through the firefox address bar.

  • ITunes 11 will not load and run on Win 7 32/64 bit

    I updated three Win 7 32 bit systems and one 64 bit to iTunes 11.0.0.163 and one IOS 10.8.2.
    The Mac works on 10.8.2
    The others have varying degrees of difficulty:
                    1. Win 7 32 Bit will not launch (removed restarted and downloaded 4 times)
                    2. Win 7 32 bit will launch but the iTunes store will not open and iTunes freezes (installed once)
                    3. Win 7 32 bit will launch but the iTunes store will not open and iTunes freezes (installed once)
                    4. Win 7 64 bit will launch but the iTunes store will not open and iTunes freezes at store (installed once)
    We have the following relying on iCloud and iTunes:
                    1. iPhone 5
                    2. iPhone 5
                    3. iPad

    Apple blogs indicate I'm not alone: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20444319#20444319

    Having same problem.  I deleted the iTunes preferences file because I had read that could help (it's in your User folder -> AppData -> Roaming -> Apple -> iTunes).  You'll know if you've done it right if you need to agree again to the terms upon launch.
    Anyhow - that solved the problem for me.  For a while.  =)  As soon as I tried making a purchase on the Apple Store, I had to login - and the same thing happened as you describe (and as I experienced upon first install).  Seems to work fine for 3-5 seconds, then hangs up.  No message, no nothing.  Everything else on PC works.
    So I narrowed it down to : signing in to the Apple Store.  Because of my deleted prefs, it doesn't automatically sign in anymore, and iTunes runs just fine then.  As soon as I try signing in to the Apple Store, iTunes will freeze in 3-5 seconds.
    Try that if it works, maybe we can budge Apple into action...this is kinda frustrating, as it took me two purchases to figure this out (which I still don't have!).  Would love to see a fix to this, because as it is, even though I can enjoy my library, I can't make any purchases.  Unless, I suppose, I bought them on Amazon or something, then added them manually...but that would defeat the purpose of having iTunes, I suppose.
