Apple TV 3 not seeing any computers on the homeshare but is connected to wifi

I've had this problem for a few weeks now.
I got an Apple TV 3 from my Dad and put it in my new house. Connected it to my Wifi no problems but the problem is that it won't connect to my homeshare - it can't see any of the computers in my house.
It's connected wirelessly, it works with Airplay, I've done all of the diagnostic tests. My homeshare is definitely on, my firewalls are off, the router ports are open, the router has been reset several times, iTunes is left open, the homeshare is set up correctly in terms of usernames etc. I'm just out of ideas on why it won't connect to the homeshare.
I even took it to an apple store - they connected it to their own homeshare no problems so the ATV itself is working properly.
Someone help!

Let's get the troubleshooting steps.
1. Make sure you have iTunes on your computer updated to latest 10.7 version. (applies to both - Mac and PC)
2. Make sure you have your Apple TV updated to latest software 5.1 (Apple TV 2nd and 3rd Generation)
3. Make sure that the computer (with iTunes running) is on the same LAN (Local Area Network) as the Apple TV.
4. Use the same Apple ID on both iTunes and Apple TV (Apple TV can work / switch between different Apple IDs but keep it simple for now)
If you still cannot see your computer from the Apple TV (Computers)
1. Reset your Apple TV
On your remote Hold down Menu and Down, until the Apple TV status light blinks rapidly
2. Make sure you have no antivirus or firewall on your computer that may be blocking access to your computer over LAN.
Let me know if you need detailed info on any of the steps above.

  • HT204053 I have iCloud turned on, but when I go to iTunes, I do not see any music with the cloud.

    I have iTunes turned on, but do not see any music from the cloud (with the little cloud prefix in front of the song) on my MacBook Pro.

    iCloud only allows you to access your music from iCloud in two ways.  First, you can redownload music previously purchased from the iTunes store (in many countries), as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.  Second, you can access your iTunes library from iCloud (up to 25,000 songs) if you subscribe to iTunes Match.  See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/.

    I've installed three times with no luck. I downloaded the Creative Cloud Packager off the licensing site: https://licensing.adobe.com. I unpacked and choose my applications. The install seemed to be successful, but I don't so any of the applications anywhere.

    Hi,
    Creating package doesn't mean it will install the product,
    You will need to install the package now. Please follow the instructions mentioned in the below articles
    Creative Cloud Help | Creating or editing packages
    Creative Cloud Help | Deploying packages
    Please let me know if it doesn't help.

  • I'm not having any trouble with the iPhone, but the iPad is a different story. It pairs

    I'm not having any trouble with the iPhone, but the iPad is a different story. It pairs & syncs but hardly any sound or volume comes out of the Bose. Yes, the volume is turned up, it is synced & paired, but almost a whisper comes out. Anyone have any ideas? I assume it's the iPad since the phone works fine.... Help!

    Thanks.  We went to Best Buy, where we bought our phones and altho we thought we were "seeding" the ear buds far enough, we were not.  There's that extra little "click" and they were in!  So, they work well enough for our old ears.  But, thanks for your input! 

  • How can I buy ringtones in itunes 10.7.0.21 store?  I do not see any options in the store at all.

    I do not see any options for ringtones in the itunes 10.7.0.21 store, where can I find them so that I can purchase some ringtones?

    Unfortunately you can only get ringtones from the iTunes store app on your phone. I’m guessing they did that so people wouldn’t create their own ringtones for free. So all you do is go to your iTunes store app then go to more then tones.

  • Can not see any entities in The ER diagram

    I am trying to create an ER diagram from an existing database. I am using designer 10.1. I generated a server model, the table to entity retrofit successfully. I can see all the entities and attributes in the RON. But when I try to create ER diagram , I don't see any entities or attributes. Am I missing something ??
    Any help???? Thanks in advance..

    If version control is not turned on, then there is only one workarea, "GLOBAL SHARED WORKAREA" and EVERYTHING is in it. So that isn't the problem.
    Let's step through this a little:
    You start the E/R diagrammer and open a new diagram.
    You are prompted to Select a default container for this diagram, and you probably selected the application (an application is one of two types of containers) where you created the entities.
    So you have a blank diagram.
    You select the Edit menu, and "Include...", "Entity".
    You should get a window with a navigator in it, with the entities in the default container showing.
    If not, you should be able to open the tree to view and select those entities.
    Is this where you don't get the list of entities that you expected to see?
    One possible problem is Access Rights - in RON, right click the application, and choose "View Access Rights". Make sure that your username has the right to SELECT that application. By the way, you ARE using a username other than the owner of the repository, right? The only time you should connect as the repository owner is in the RAU. Use the RAU to grant another user (have the DBA create another user, if you haven't already) access to the repository. Then, in RON, make that user the owner of your application.

  • IPod touch (2nd gen.) not seeing mic 99% of the time, but *does* rarely.

    I'm unable to use a microphone with this device, almost always being prompted "No microphone available" when I try to use Skype or Voice Memos with either of two different mic-bearing headphones. I've listed the headphones I have below.
    (*) The plugs are inserted fully as far as they will go in the headphone jack.
    (*) I have the latest iPhone OS installed.
    (*) I've tested the iFrogz mic with an acquaintance's iPhone, and the mic works.
    (*) On a single occasion I did get the TouchMic to work on a Skype test call to my voice mail, but never again with either mic.
    (*) On a single occasion I had the opportunity to test with a different acquaintance's Apple headphones, which again worked.
    I need to know if this feature is working only intermittently for some physical reason and therefore I need repair/replacement, or if I'm just not understanding some part of how to use this thing with a mic.
    In particular, anyone have an idea why I'd be able to get the mic recognized on one occasion but not others, if this is something other people have experienced?

    Go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings. You'll have to reenter your network login info, but it should work after that.

  • Why I can not see any home video or slideshow on my Apple TV?

    Why I can not see any video or slideshow on my Apple TV?

    Can you elaborate on the issue?

  • I do not what tech. is lacking in iphone 4 that prevents it to be able to support turn by turn navi. I do not see any difference btw 4 and 4s and yet 4S can support turn by turn. very disappointed with apple and i will not purchase iphone5.

    I do not know what tech. s lacking in iphone 4 that prevents it to be able to use turn by turn navi. I do not see any difference between 4 vs 4S and yet 4S is able to support it. I am very disappointed with apple as i was when 4S was released. I will not purchase iphone5 becuase i think its nowhere near what apple calls it "perfect". there are plenty of other phone around. Lumia 920 for example is a much better phone. Just disappointed with apple...

    the fine print in the map section states that turn by turn is only available for 4S and up.

  • Mac can not see any printers.

    Mac can not see any printers.
    I have 2 other computers (1 windows / 1 Mac Book) using the printers just fine but once device can not even find a printer. Any ideas?
    Printer is Ricoh Aficio MP C3501
    The computer could not find the printers so I cleared them from system preferences. Updated everything, including downloading the most up to date driver, restarted and still can not see any printers.
    Thank you for your help,
    Darren D

    Hello ddelin,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I realize that two out of your three computers can see your printer, but one MacBook Pro will not. You have also done some great troubleshooting by deleting the printer, installing drivers, and trying to re-add the printer. If the issue continues, I would suggest resetting the printing system. Please use the attached article for more information.
    Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X - Apple Support
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Best regards,
    Joe

  • Apple TV does not see either of my Windows 7 PC's

    My Apple TV says I need to enable Sharing in iTunes but it is already enabled.  Neither my apple TV nor my iPhone 5 recognize my PC iTunes library.  It all worked fine last month but something has changed recently.  I have iTunes 11.1 and ios7.  The internet has much to say about this problem but I cannot see any workable solution. I have been through all of the networks checks and all is fine.When I display the PC's network map, it fails to show the Apple TV. Strangely, the Apple TV can find and play my music library but will not see my computer when the icon is selected.  Any help would be appreciated. 

    In my last update, I said that changing the compatibility mode corrected the Home Sharing issue but turned out to be problematic and not really solving anything. 
    I now tried another fix which has worked completely.  I think I have seen this fix elsewhere.  I went into the network LAN card and turned off TCP/IP Version 6.  Now the Home Sharing icon appears on my iTunes app and also on my iPhone.  It looks like Microsoft may have turned it on during one of its patches.  At this point, nothing really needs version 6 so should be no harm in disabling it.

  • In iphoto my photos do no appear just a blank dated square. Somehow I messed up when trying to send a photo via email.I cannot not see any but 4 photos.

    Help!   In iphoto my photos do not appear just a blank dated square. Somehow I messed up when trying to send a photo via email.I cannot not see any but 4 photos.I tried all of the solutions that Apple suggested. Somehow I think that i am trying to send ALL my photos in an email.How do i unhide all of my photos?

    Did you launch iPhoto with the Option(Alt) and Commnad keys held down like Terence suggested?  If you did it properly you will get this window:
    The second option is the one you want to run.

  • My Apple TV is not showing any of my rentals. The rentals category is completely missing from the menu.

    My Apple TV is not showing any of my rentals at all. Even the category is missing completely. I have reset several times yo no avail! Anyone know what to do?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
    Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
    You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
    Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

  • Hi My grandparents just bought an iPod Touch for me from Dubai, UAE. I can't see any facetime on the home screen nor in the settings. I've read that it's not possible. But is it possible if I get my OS updated again from India?

    Hi My grandparents just bought an iPod Touch for me from Dubai, UAE. I can't see any facetime on the home screen nor in the settings. I've read that it's not possible. But is it possible if I get my OS updated again from India?

    There is no way you can activate Facetime on an iPod touch purchased in the UAE. The government there required Apple to lock off Facetime at the hardware level and there's no way to unlock it. Reinstalling iOS, regardless of country, will not help. If you want Facetime, you will need to sell your UAE-version iPod and buy one there in India.
