Home Sharing - Can See Computer on Apple TV but Cannot Browse

I have a Macbook Air (2011) and Apple TV (2nd generation) and I have successfully set up home sharing. I have the ability to select the Apple TV from iTunes on my Macbook Air and use it to play music/movies. However, when trying to browse the computer from the Apple TV, it attempts to connect and then fails with a generic error message about not being able to reach the compuer. However, I have the computer on, iTunes open, and am listening to music. I even tried it without music to no avail.

I think I've isolated the problem. The shared videos that are missing from the ipad mini "Videos" app are 1080p. I thought the ipad mini could play 1080p, or at least downcode to somthing it could display.
Maybe it can't.

  • Movies purchased on computer and home shared can be played on Apple TV but not iPad Mini.

    Hi - I've recently purchased Dark Knight Rises and Toy Story 3 via Apple TV. Purchased, not rented. I then downloaded the movies on my
    Computer (MacBook Pro mid 2010, iTunes 11.0.1). I then home shared the movies on the computer.
    I can see and play the movies on Apple TV and the computer. However, those movies do not appear under the Video app on my ipad mini. Other movies, including ones I purchased recently, show up and play just fine on the ipad mini.
    The default resolution is set to 1080p in iTunes on the computer. The computer is running OSX 10.8.2.
    Any suggestions?

    My computer was crashed and there was no backup, new hard disk and new system was installed. I had photos in iCloud and I can still see it on my AppleTV, however, I cannot see it on my computer or any other Apple devices. How can I retrieve my photos back?

    Hi Wikowiko!
    If you want to be able to control your Apple TV through your iPad, you will want to download a free app from Apple called Remote. An article we have published online can help you understand more of the features of the Remote app, and can be found here:

  • I can see the music toolbar moving, but cannot hear any music.

    I can see the music toolbar moving, but cannot hear any music. My phone rings and clicks, so I know some sound works.  Ever since I synced my
    phone on my computer, I cannot hear my music or any videos.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

  • Home sharing - can see movie on iPhone, but it won't play.

    I've got home sharing set up on iTunes and in my iPhone 3GS. I'm in the process of testing the digitizing of my home DVD library into iTunes, and have made my first attempt.  The film works fine in iTunes on my Mac, and I can see it on my iPhone, but when I try to play it it hangs for a second and then an error comes up that says "The operation could not be completed".  I also have a couple of television episodes I purchased - they also show up on the iPhone and play with no problem.  Any thoughts?  The movie file is an .m4v - I wondered if that could be the issue?
    Thanks,

    I've seen this when downloaded to a computer/device that wasn't authorized.  Try to re-authorize in case it (or someone else) became de-authorized again.

    Just bought Ipad2. Loaded Skype, I can see and hear the other person, but They and I cannot see me...just my audio. Does anyone know where or how to find sype video setting on Ipad app?

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • Can see thumbnails of open tabs but cannot open them at all

    Firefox upgraded itself on the weekend.
    I have been visiting blogs through the Bloggers' Quilt Festival, which I'm participating in. I tried to leave comments but on the blogspot and blogger blogs was not able to. This morning I saw a bunch of extra thumbnail windows open in Firefox so I closed them, but now the whole of Firefox has shut on me. I can see two or three thumbnails and have a screenshot but I can't actually get them to open.
    I saw the advice about starting Firefox in safe mode but that doesn't work from the thumbnails.
    Really need help asap because I work from home and work depends on easy fast access that I depend on Firefox for

    an alternative way to get into safemode (all other firefox windows have to be closed first): press windows-key + R and open:
    firefox.exe -safe-mode

  • Can see Time Capsule in Finder but cannot view contents of it?

    Hi guys,
    I've been having this issue on and off.  Most of the time my Time Capsule works perfectly but sometimes I cannot access the conents saved on it.  I am able to see the TC under 'shared' in Finder but when I try to access the stuff I have saved on it and nothing shows up. The only way I can find to restore visability, is to restart my macbook.  Any one have this same issue?
    Thanks!

  • Just updated to the latest Firefox and now my MSN email will not function. I can see the titles as normal but cannot open individual emails

    Just updated Firefox. Now I cannot open msn emails. Email titles appear as normal but will not open.

    Hello ebarrow
    If there is an issue with update or permissions the better, quickest and safest way is to download and install firefox:
    1. Download with your safari a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    2. '''''Trash''''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
    3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
    Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.
