Since the last AppleTV update I can no longer use home sharing. I have checked all IDs, re-booted iTunes, my router, and AppleTV, and checked the port settings in my firewall. nothing works. Is it me or did this last update really scew things up?

Hi,
I tried everythink, but same as before!
- droppings ot the main screen
- loosing Home Share
now even on iPads !
Frustrating!
I'm now more than convinced that this is caused by the latest iTunes version.
As some others stated in other threads .... it seems that Apple doesn't really take care of this problem. So what if, if we could make them feeling the same pain as we do. ... Just by dropping them a mail as soon as we have the problem again. Not more often, we don't want to be unfair, but everytime it happens.
I found this feedback site http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
I will start now with this.... maybe this will help to rise a little bit of attention
Tweety
This is the mailbody I always use
Hello all,
Since the last update to iTunes Version 10.6.1 (7) streaming content (Movies and TV shows) to Apple TVs and iPads has two major problems:
- Home Sharing is lost during streaming (streaming stops even if a large portion of the content is already preloaded)
- streaming stops and the main screen pops up (Home Sharing still available)
This happens sometime after some minutes, sometimes after several hours, but it surely happens.
I followed every advice I could found on this support website. There are now a lot of threads following this issue.
Sometimes it seems getting better, but hours later the same isues occured again. Watching content on this enviroment is a real pain and very frustrating.
As many others I'm now convinced that the latest update of iTunes caused this problem.
Our family enviroment contains the following Apple products:
- iTunes on a Win7 32 bit Noname PC (all content)
- second iTunes on a iMac with OS 10.6.8 (all content)
- third iTunes on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.8 (daughter, only selected content)
- fourth iTunes on a Win7 32 Samsung Notebook (son, only selected content)
- all iTunes sharing the same Home Sharing ID
- 2 Apple TV second generation
- 1 Apple TV first generation
- 2 iPod touch (bought last year)
- 2 iPads (second generation)
all firmware or software are on latest available patchlevel.
At this moment, I can not recomend to others to buy this products.
I will drop this feedback everytime my famiily and I facing this problem... just to help you to get a better feeling of the urgency of this issue.
Thanks for every effort in advanced.

    Try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router.

  • I have been using GRAB to capture screen displays.  It has just stopped working since the last OSX Upgrade.  Can anyone, please help restore functionality?

    Thanks for that.  I did as suggested but when I tried again, it still did not work.  Another  com.apple.Grab.plist appeared in the Library.
    I now have the following files in Library
    file://localhost/Users/peterpatel/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Grab.LSSharedFil eList.plist
    file://localhost/Users/peterpatel/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Grab.LSSharedFil eList.plist.lockfile
    file://localhost/Users/peterpatel/Library/Preferences/
    file://localhost/Users/peterpatel/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Grab.plist.lockf ile
    What do you suggest I do now?

  • Trying to set up Fam Sharing but can't get past the prompt telling me to add a payment method. I already have a payment in my iTunes account and wish to use it for FS. How do I do this?

    Trying to set up Fam Sharing but can't get past the prompt telling me to add a payment method. I already have a payment in my iTunes account and wish to use it for FS. How do I do this?

    Hi printspat,
    From what I gather, you have a payment method selected for your iTunes Store account which isn’t being accepted when setting up Family Sharing.
    Take a look at the he article linked below provides, which provides a lot of great information about Family Sharing, and make sure you're trying to use a valid payment method for setting up Family Sharing.
    Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support
    One adult in the family—the family organizer—can set up Family Sharing for the group from their iOS device or Mac. When you set up Family Sharing, you'll be asked to confirm that you agree to pay for purchases initiated by the family members you invite and that you have a valid payment method on file. Valid payment methods for setting up Family Sharing include credit cards and debit cards.* 
    Cheers,

  • Since iOS 8.1.1 I can no longer use my mail app.

    Since iOS 8.1.1 I can no longer use my mail app on my iPad Mini. The mail app opens and updates, however the screen does not respond to anything. Am rather stuck as to what to do. This is the Mail App that comes with the iPad Mini.
    I have tried to turn the iPad On/Off all to no avail. I don't really want to reset my iPad as this will cause more trouble than it is worth and will ultimately update the iPad to iOS 8.1.1 anyway. Do any of you have any suggestions that don't involve resetting the iPad ?
    Thanks All

    Before you delete your mail accounts, try giving your iPad a reset and force closing the mail app. It may clear up the glitch before you remove and add your info again
    Reset
    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. No data will be lost.
    Force close an app
    Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.
    If those don't fix it then try to remove and put your info back in.

    Hi there
    Sorry for hijacking your thread as put by Dahveed. However I have resolved my issue so I thought I'll share it with the rest of you.
    I checked for the error 3194 in youtube and I found some good videos that tell you how to resolve the problem. The issue I was facing was the actually (I know because I have resolved it now) the communication between my computer and apple server which can be fixed as following (if you are using windows):
    There is file in following directory:
    C:\Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
    The file normally has no extension and it is in file format. You need to open it and make sure that every line that has apple server id starts with "#". In my case one of the line started directly with the ip address and then gs.apple.com.
    Perform your restore/update after that and hopefully it should be resolved (mine did).
    Cheers

  • My apple tv 2 says I can't stream music from my iTunes library on my iMac without settng up iTunes Match. I don't want to set up iTunes match. How can I get back to the pre-Match system which let me just use home sharing to stream music from computer to A

    When I click on the Music tab on my Apple TV 2, a message tells me I have to set up iTunes Match to stream music from my iTunes library on my iMac. I don't want to set up and pay for iTunes Match. How can I get back to the pre-Match system which let me just use home sharing to stream music from computer to Aple TV

    Ditto.
    You need to look for your itunes library under Computers and select it, then music.
    Music column is for web based content not local content, just to confuse everyone.

  • After the upgrade to ios5, I can no longer use my iPad to make purchases on ticketmaster.  Does anyone have a solution?

    After the upgrade to ios5, I can no longer use my iPad to make purchases on ticketmaster.  Does anyone have a solution?

    Apple changed MobileMe to iCloud and then restricted iCloud to 10.7 users only unfortunately
    If your machine is a 64 bit processor Intel Mac you can upgrade to 10.7 for $29, however a lot of your 10.5/10.6/Rosetta based software could cease to function, especially third party hardware drivers for printers, fax machines, all-in-ones, scanners etc.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also depending how old the machine is, if it can accept 4GB of RAM (preferred), older video card, may not run 10.7 very well or stable.
    My advice is to keep at 10.6.8, get a web based email service that's plaform/hardware neutral, forward your iPhone emails there. Gmail/Yahoo Mail for instance.
    When your ready for new hardware and all new software, then buy a new machine.
    If your going to go to 10.7 on your present hardware, I advise you clone 10.6.8 to a external drive first, that way you can c boot off the 10.6 disk erase the drive completely (necessary to remove hidden Lion Recovery Partition) and option boot off the 10.6.8 clone and reverse clone.

  • Can you still use Home Sharing?

         Can you still use Home Sharing?    I have a Mac Mini (10.6.3) a Ipad (3rd Gen.) and a 3rd Gen. Apple TV.  All on the same home network and router. All three have Home Sharing turned on. All with the same account and all with the same password but they don't see each other. Since we're talking about three devices that don't see each other, I figure it must be something in the way I have it setup or Apple did away with the function.
         Can anyone point me in the right direction or shed some light on this problem.
         Thanks
              Ron   (hmbgeno)

    Well I can tell you that Apple did not do away with it because I am still using home sharing. Maybe you should go through this support article.

  • I can no longer activate home sharing on my Apple TV

    I have an Apple TV 2nd (or 3rd) generation. It was working fine until I updated the firmware one month ago. I can no longer activate home sharing. The WIFI connection works fine as I was able to restore the device. Home sharing is active on my computer (and my iPad and iPhone). When I try to activate home sharing on Apple TV it says that the Apple ID or password are incorrect. I know it is not the case as reentered it many times and very carefully. I also rest the device many times and restored the software twice.

    Bump... I have the same issue (on Ipad 4 and Itunes on Windows 7).

  • Can I use home sharing to watch a rented movie on itunes on another computer

    can I use home sharing to watch a rented movie on itunes on another computer (I already have home sharing with other computers set up, but I don't see it.)?

    Please be aware of the movie rental's time limitation that you have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to finish watching it. You may watch it as many times as you like during those 24 hours. It may be helpful to make sure the download completes successfully before you begin watching the movie.
    Once the download is complete you can watch it without an Internet connection. However, an Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback or activate the 24 hours time-limit of movie rentals. This means, only during the starting of the movie. Once you have started playing the movie rental, internet connection is not required. You can play anywhere without internet connection.
    You may need to validate the rental prior to watching so it starts the rental period timer and for that you will need an internet connection. You can probably do that by starting the rented movie while on the Airport Wifi or right before leaving home. You'll have 24 hours to watch the movie after you start it.
    For more information on movie rentals, you can visit:
    iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657
    Note: 24 hours time limit is for United States customer only, while 48 hours for other countries.

    my mac book is not working so i can no longer use my mac to back up my note in my phone and unfortunately i dont have outlook on my pc is there a way to get all my old notes from my 3gs to my 4s iphone?

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, try this a few times if necessary. If still problem, you may have to just Restore your iPhone to get it working. In the future sync your iPhone with iTunes routinely and when it contains important data, iCloud when set correctly will do this for you continuously.
