Anyone else having trouble using Home Sharing on AppleTV (3rd Gen) on wired network?

First my setup:  I'm on a Mid-2010 MacBook Pro, D-Link DIR-615 Router, AppleTV (3rd Gen).
Problem: Couldn't connect to Home Sharing via the AppleTV.
I was having serious trouble getting Home Sharing working on my AppleTV (3rd Gen).  I spent an hour on the phone with Apple Tech Support.  Then, after forwarding the proper ports (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2463?viewlocale=en_US), spending another hour and a half with D-Link.  Then I even called my ISP.  Anyway, after A LOT of futzing around, I finally realized that Home Sharing is working on my iPhone (4S), so maybe it's a wifi thing.  I unplugged the ethernet cable from my AppleTV and connected it to my wireless network.  Keep in mind, same network, just now it's connected via a different channel (wireless now versus wired before).
Suddenly, works just fine, no issues at all.
What's going on?  Anyone have any idea?  My port forwarding is now not even set to the correct IP address of my AppleTV (was ...100 when it was wired, but on wifi it grabbed ...103).  It would be great to know what's going on.  Also, hopefully this helps someone else having the same problem.

Yesterday I bought Apple tv, and connected it on a free LAN port on my DLINK DIR-615.
All settings are ok , appleID en home sharing are set en activated but nothing shows...
The problem seems simular on yours. Tonight when I get home, i'll disconnect de LAN and try wireless....
We will see.  Thanks fot the hint

    Anyone else having trouble transferring music to iPad using iTunes?
    <Subject Edited by Host>

    For the updates you've tried logging out of your account by tapping on your id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app and then logging back in ?
    And for the purchases by 'not letting me buy music' you mean ... ? If you are getting an error message then what does it say ?

    Everyone!
    You can't syncing your iPhone via blutooth. BT is only for hands-free and tethering. You can sync via cable or wi-fi.only.

    Is anyone else having trouble viewing the SEC network via Watch ESPN on a 2nd gen Apple TV?  Software is up to date, but SEC network not showing up as a channel.  Using Xfinity - and it appears on iPhone5 but not on iPad2 - both of which are current on IOS. Help!

    the wifi router could also be blocking
    and to really test if the windows firewall is the problem then try turning it off!
    if that scare you too much then disable the internet modem / cable modem or the likes while you test
    always remove more and more factors when troubleshooting sooner or later it will work and you can narrow down which factor did the job and work on that

  • Is anyone else having trouble sending mail?  I have a MobileMe subscription - not sure whether that is the problem.  The Port assigned to my mail account on my iMac has a different number for the one recommended by Apple, but I hesitate to change it.

    Is anyone else having trouble sending mail on an iMac running 10.6.8.  I get a messsage that the server can't be accessed.  Apple help suggests using a different port from the one that was originally set.  I have a Mobile Me account.  Any suggestions?

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

  • Is anyone else having trouble with bookmarks in Windows Safari 4?

    Is anyone else having trouble with their bookmarks in the Windows version of Safari 4? The Bookmarks Bar imported when I upgraded from Safari 3.2.2. But the Bookmarks menu can't be seen when I click the icon that looks like an open book. The History & Bookmarks Menu present in cover flow (which by the way I love and have found very useful). But the Bookmarks Menu option remains blank. At first I thought it hadn't imported - but I've realised they have imported, just aren't displaying.
    They are definately imported because the same Bookmarks Menu is still present on my iPhone through MobileMe synch. Also I can get to the bookmarked pages by clicking Alt-Bookmarks. All the bookmarked pages are there (along with being on my iPhone). So they've imported - they just don't display in Coverflow (or any view at all) when I click the open book icon.
    Does anyone have any solutions please.

    Ok I have a fix for that....
    I just figured this problem out for myself with a friend]
    ==============================================================
    CLOSE SAFARI
    go to MY COMPUTER
    C:
    Documents and Settings
    Your name
    Application Data
    Apple Computer
    Safari Folder
    Delete BOOKMARKS.PLIST
    ( Now I have to warn you this WILL DELETE your bookmarks from Safari so back them up before you do this )
    NOW........
    go back and IMPORT your bookmarks
    take all your bookmarks from the "IMPORTED ON XX/XX/XXXX " folder and drop them into the BOOKMARKS MENU at the top ( not the folder just your bookmarks)
    NOW DO NOT DELETE the Imported on xx/xx/xxxx folder
    for some reason when you delete the IMPORTED ON XX/XX/XXXX folder.... It causes them to go missing under BOOKMARKS MENU
    SO as long as you dont delete the IMPORTED ON xx/xx/xxxx folder they will stay in the BOOKMARKS MENU where you can manipulate them
    ALSO... DO NOT DELETE the IMPORTED FROM INTERNET EXPLORER
    or IMPORTED FROM NETSCAPE/ MOZILLA FOLDERS
    that will also cause your bookmarks menu bookmarks to go missing too
    I guess this is a temp. fix for now
    Thanks,
    Christopher

  • Anyone else having trouble with Hard Candy Cases?

    I ordered a Hard Candy Case back on 3/22. I subsequently received an e-mail from HCC stating that my case order was changed to the newer 'Kickstand' model. Fine. Just want my case. Now after 60 days of being on the market, I still don't have my case even though HCC debited my Paypal account on 3/22. I can't seem to get a response from them either.
    Anyone else having trouble with HardCandy? I hope I'm an isolated case (sorry!), but I am curious if there is a trend.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    After going away does it come back randomly too? if that is the case, maybe to do with trackpad sensing your gesture correctly?
