My Apple tv is stuck on the home sharing and settings screen
For some reason my apple tv is stuck on the home sharing and settings screen. Ive already unplugged it and let it reset but its not even giving me the option to go to the home scene..HELP!!?
That is the main menu, however you are not properly connected to the network so that is why the other apps are not appearing.
Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
Check that location is set correctly via settings
If on wifi try ethernet
Make sure router is up to date and has port 123 open (refer to manual if unsure)

My apple tv is stuck on the home page and won't respond to the remote
My hockey puck apple tv is currently on the home screen with Movies highlighted but i cant use it with any remotes... I've paired two remotes to this apple tv and now it doesnt respond to any of them except for the blue light that blinks whenever i press a command on the remote...
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.

Apple TV locked on screen with settings and home sharing icons in bottom half and won't let me move back to main menu. Anyone know how to fix it?
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore) -
when i go to update apps the previous owners apple id is stuck in the id box and it won't let me put mine in.. PLEASE HELP! LOL
Apple says that the Mac was supposed to be erased and taken back to the most recent version of OS X with which it shipped. You should not have any of the previous owner's apps. That violates the Terms of Use for Mac App Store apps.

I have an Apple TV and I can only see Home Sharing and Settings, NO YouTube
I ran an update on my Apple TV last month, when it restarted I could not see anything apart from Home Sharing and Settings. I can see the option of YouTube and have racked my brain but can’t get to YouTube from my Apple TV.
If I search for a video on my iPhone then I can play it Via the Apple TV but I can’t directly access YouTube. Please help me out if anyone has any clue how to fix this.Did it - didn't work.
I can access the internet from every other apple device that is connecting to the same router as the Apple TV.
Please don't tell me it's a "network" issue. The AppleTV is the only one that can't seem to "see" the internet. -
I installed the update, and now the only icons I have is Home Sharing and Settings.
I've been seeing the Update Available message, but have ignored it. Decided to update today. When it finished, the only 2 icons available are Home Sharing and Settings. Everything else is GONE! I reset the box to factory settings.....and still exactly the same. Can someone guide me through how to get back to the Apple TV that I LOVE!
Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Periodically the home key and touch screen are unresponsive
Hi,
I have an iPhone4 and have recently noticed that the home key and touch screen are becomming less responsive. Sometimes I have to press the home key a few times to get it to respond also with the touch screen very rarely does it respond when i swipe to unlock or answer a call. The only way to get the swipe to unlock or answer to work is to press the sleep/wake button which is annoying if trying to answer a call.
Any suggestions?it's the hardware issue.
someway you show may act the lifetime of Home button . -
Why does the movies pause when watching on apple tv from home sharing and it said it would be two hour before i can watch one from the cloud
Where are you trying to access them on Apple TV?
If under the Movies icon, that will be accessing the cloud. Load times are dependent on your Internet connection.
You need to be under the Computers icon to use home sharing. If it is having trouble loading here then it would be a local network issue. -
HT200197 my apple tv won't pass the setting date and time screen?
why won't my apple tv pass the setting date and time screen?
That indicates a network issue.
Check the DNS settings, they should be set to automatic. -
I was instructed by I Tunes to restore my Iphone 4 - ITunes has since said it is unable to restore. I am now left with a black screen with Itunes logo on it and a picture of the charger attachment at the base of the screen and I am unable to do anything now with the device. I think I may have lost all of my information on the device too ~ can anyone help please?
You have lost all your data, but hopefully you were backing it up with iCloud or iTunes. You can try this:
Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings. -
Hi,
My newest Apple TV which I bought on Amazon finally arrived and worked for 2 days. Now all of a suudden it is refusing to load the main page to select movies, radio, netflix etc. All I am getting is a page saying homesharing with only an option to select Computers of Settings. I have reset the Apple TV, restored it but nothing...it keeps going back to this page saying computers and settings. I've tried updating the software as well but after 30 minutes or so it tells me software update was unsuccessful and to go to settingsand choose restore and the loop begins? Is it permanently broken?I had the same issue Berry. What worked for me was going to the General Settings and doing a reset from there. I got all my apps back but had to re-enter all my information for iTunes, Netflix, Hulu etc...
Hope it works for you too! -
Now itunes is prompting me to restore to factory settings. Can I get back all my info from my backups?
Thanks. The prompt it is giving me is if you are expeirincing problems with your iphone you can restore its original settings by clicking restore. Should I click that? It is saying my iphone is in recovery mode.

My iPhone 4 started to blackout out of nowhere and it wont work only until I plugged my phone into the charger. It has been going on for several times in a day, where it just randomly blacks out. Do anyone know what is the problem and how do I exactly fix this? thanks
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have the latest version of itunes. I turned on the home sharing, and it asked for my ID and everything and it said it loaded. Then I went to open another library up and I don't know if the library is available to me. How do I get to the other library from my computer? I'm using the same home sharing username and password, but i don't see it. The other library has the latest version as well.
If you click View, Show Sidebar you will see the other libraries under Shared in the left hand column. Click on the Library you want and you can expand it to select Music, Movies etc. Select whatever items you want and click import if you want to move them to your Library.
You will have to have all computers authorised with the relevant Apple ID's
Store > Authorise this computer...
This is separate from the Home Sharing username and password and is to allow playing of DRM Movies, TV shows etc from the other computer.
If both Computers use the same apple id this step is not required. -
I've been trying to use my home sharing but don't know where it is locate on my iPad or how to accessed it so how can I find the home sharing icon
iPad-settings, movies, home sharing. Music-home sharing. Both under settings on the iPad. Enter your apple I'd and password in both spots. If you have a computer, turn on homesharing on iTunes as well. Homesharing has to be all turned on with the SAME apple I'd. Even if it's your iPad and a wife's iPad, pick one apple I'd and put that apple I'd in both of those spots even if it's not your iPad. Kinda confusing.
