ITunes 11 - Apple TV Homesharing Stopped Working

Hi there
I hope someone will have some advice as I've tried just about everything I can think of myself and no joy! 
In short, homesharing between my iMac and Apple TV has suddenly stopped working - this is with:
Apple TV - 5.1.1
iTunes - 11.0.1
OS X  10.7.5
All the above has the latest updates and homesharing is already turned on in both Apple TV and iTunes, however all of a sudden when I go to my film library in Apple TV, I'm getting the message to turn on homesharing in iTunes.
I've tried turning homesharing off and back on again in both Apple TV and iTunes to no avail. I've restarted iTunes, rebooted the Mac, restarted the Apple TV and rebooted my router.  None of the above has worked.
What I'm a bit perplexed about is that it was working fine this morning and suddenly stopped....without any changes to anything.
Anyone have any ideas or similar issues?
Many thanks

Super frustrating.  I'm also experiencing this!  I have turned on/off Home Sharing multiple times and have reset AppleTV to factory defaults.  Still showing that I must "turn on Home Sharing."

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
    If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings). You should also try restarting your router.
    If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).

  • My apple TV has stopped working completely.  Just a flashing Amber light

    My Apple TV has stopped working.  When it is turned on I just get a flashing amber light and it does not turn blue as normal.  It doesn't connect wirelessly to my Mac and it doesn't connect to the TV.  I do not get the setup menu and it is totally unresponsive to the remote control.  I have tried connecting it directly to my Mac but this also does nothing.  I am at a loss as to what to do next.  I have a lot of films and music stored on it and I am worried that I have lost it all.  I am not sure which generation it is, but it is the silver one, model number A1218.  Can anyone help?

    Unfortunately, it sounds as though your Apple TV 1 has failed. Unlike the later Apple TVs, you cannot connect it to iTunes to restore it.

    Hello warrior41
    Start with the article below to troubleshoot issues with iTunes crashing or not working as expected. Start with booting up iTunes into Safe Mode and see if the issue persists as well as creating a new user to see if the issue is system wide.

  • Everytime I try and load Itunes it says it has stopped working

    Everytime I try and load Itunes it says it has stopped working and when I click on the message it closes the whole program down.  I have tried the trouble shoot compatability but it just says incompatible application detected.  I am not very tecnical but have tried to uninstall the programs and re install them but with no luck.  This problem started after I added a new album but I have now removed it from the computer.  Help!

    Let's try something relatively simple. Download and save a copy of the installer to your hard drive (don't run the install on line and don't start the install just yet):
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Now right-click on the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) that you downloaded and select "Run as administrator".
    Does that go through any better for you?

  • Apple push as stopped working

    I have this message when i shut down itunes"apple push as stopped working" since i download itunes 11, alos my remote doesn't work properly

    See this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16502356
    To summarize that thread, a workaround for this problem is to set APSDaemon.exe to always run as an administrator. Here's how to do it in Windows 7 (Vista should be almost exactly the same).
    Browse to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support"
    Right-click on APSDaemon.exe
    Under the Compatibility tab, check "Run this program as an administrator"

  • Apple TV homesharing only works on ethernet

    Hi -
    I have a 2nd Generation Apple TV connected to my wireless network. I have a Windows 7 64-bit computer with my iTunes library connected to ethernet on the wireless router on the same network. The only way I can get the Apple TV to see my iTunes library is to plug an ethernet cable into the Apple TV and connect it to the router. That is not ideal since I need a long cable across the floor to accomplish this. Does anyone know of any troubleshooting techniques I can use to allow the Apple TV to see the content of my Windows 7 iTunes library without ethernet? It would be wireless to ethernet. I am using the same Apple ID for the ATV and the Windows 7 iTunes.

  • Apple Push has stopped working - Exchange Server Install

    Just installed MS Exchange server.  Set up my Windows 7 Pro machine and Outlook 2010.  Everytime I open Outlook on my machine I receive a Apple Push has stopped working error.
    Problem Details:
    Problem signature:
    Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
    Application Name: APSDaemon.exe
    Application Version: 2.1.14.3

    You need to have iTunes recreate the Apple Push Service. To do this you need first !!!CLOSE ITUNES!!! to go to;
    1. My Computer(or Computer if using vista or higher)
    2. C: Drive (Usually called “Local Disk”)
    3. Program Files (If you are using a 64 bit version of windows it will be in Program Files x86. To check if you are using 64 bit right click on computer and go to properties)
    4.Common Files
    5. Apple
    6.Apple Application support
    So your navigation bar should look like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support.
    In there you are going to be renaming the file APSDeamon to APSDeamon.BAK and agree to any prompts that may appear. When you next open iTunes it will force iTunes to recreate that file as it is no longer able to find it. Now your apple devices should work again with your computer.

  • Apple tv mirroring stops working

    I just installed my new Bell modem SageMCom 2684 and my Apple TV mirroring stopped working properly--it freezes in less than a minute when I mirror a MacBook Pro.  My TV, Apple TV, & Bell modem are relatively close. I disabled  WMM, but no luck. I connected my old router to the modem & connected the Mac & aTV to the same wireless network, but the performace remained bad.  I updated aTV's software, but no luck.  Is this really a a Wi-Fi network problem, or an issue with Apple devices???  Thanks.

  • HT1551 My remote for my Apple TV just stopped working and I have tried putting in a new battery, re-pairing the remote, resetting the device by unplugging it, and I checked the infared coming from the remote is working. The light just blinks at me 3 times

    My remote for my Apple TV just stopped working and I have tried putting in a new battery, re-pairing the remote, resetting the device by unplugging it, and I checked the infared coming from the remote is working. The light just blinks at me 3 times what else can I try to fix it?

    Have you tried unpairing the remote? You do this by pointing your remote at the Apple TV and holding the MENU and Left buttons down together for 6 seconds.

    Hi Ron.
    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

  • HT203175 While trying to use my iTunes library it will suddenly stop working with the erro message Runtime error R6025 pure virtual function call.  HELP!!!

    While trying to use my iTunes library it will suddenly stop working with the error message Runtime error R6025 pure virtual function call.
    Help???

    Just responded to this in another thread (note we used Captivate 7 so it might be a different error).
    We found that when we created files with embedded swf files that existed ABOVE widgets in the timeline, when someone else tried to open our file it broke/we got the runtime error. The original person could still open it for a time, but eventually the cache would clear and they couldn't.
    However, if we ensured swf files are BELOW widgets in the source files, it didn't break. In fact, if we found one that was breaking and got the author to move the swf file on the timeline, it would start working for others.
    STRANGE! Let me know if this works for you to!
