Apple TV 6.2 not connecting with home sharing to iTunes 11.3

I have looked for any solutions to help reconnect the two for home sharing. When I click on "Computers" on the ATV, it says its loading my library. After "loading" it gives me the "Could not connect" error. My MBP and ATV are both connected to the same Airport Extreme but it wont connect to my library. I didn't have this problem with the previous ATV software.
Any help is greatly welcome.

Me too I have the same problem as MicheleP57!!!! What can I do???

  • Could not connect to " home shared iTunes library name "

    I'm having an issue with iTunes/ Apple TV. Actually it has been ongoing. I have a particular iTunes library shared on a private subnet (together with the Apple TVs) from a Mac Mini. I can connect and play content any time with iTunes on another computer 100% reliably. But around 60% of the time when I try to connect to it from any of my four Apple TV (2's) an error comes up saying "Could not connect to "<home shared iTunes library name>" ", "Make sure the computer is on the same network as your Apple TV. the iTunes version is up to date and iTunes is running". The answer to those questions (as always with such messages is obviously 'yes':
    Yes of course we are on the same network. If I wasn't, the library wouldn't have even shown up in the first place before selecting it
    Yes iTunes as always is the latest version thanks to Mac Software Update
    Again 'dah'. See response #1
    If I restart the offending iTunes library the error is resolved (although sometimes it does require reboot of the Apple TV) but could reappear as early as within the next 24 hours. This issue has been occuring for a very long time however appears to be increasing in frequency. It occured as well on the Apple TV (v1).
    Anyone with clues on what's going on here?
    Thanks
    Greg

    I agree that the first debug point should be the network. Though like Greg, I use a Mac Mini to serve up movies to a couple of Apple TVs. From the 'problem' Apple TV, I could see other iTunes movie libraries on other Mac(s), and those would work/play fine. It's only when I try to connect to the iTunes Library of the Mac Mini that I have this issue. It's almost like it's asleep, and doesn't respond. Though I can mount the library folder, and play movies from other Macs w/o a problem while the Apple TV still has the problem.
    As Greg mentions, closing and re-opening iTunes on the Mini solves the issue (though only temporarily).
    The only difference that I have (non-consistency) is that my Mac Mini is an older model, and cannot be upgraded to run Lion (10.7.x) like my other Macs. The Mini is running 10.6.8, and iTunes 10.6.1 (32-bit). My Macs are running 10.7.3 and the 64-bit version of iTunes 10.6.1.
    Is it possible it could be a 10.6 vs. a 10.7 issue? Greg, which version of OS X are your Macs running?

  • HT4557 Hi, we have just purchased Apple TV and having some problems connecting to the iPad. It is asking us to 'connect to Home Sharing in iTunes' however I can't find the link/ button to press. iPad has been updated. Any help please

    Hi,
    We have just purchased Apple TV and can't connect to Home Sharing. We have wifi, the iPad is updated. I can't find the link on ITunes on the iPad that the tv is telling me to click. I've also tried turning it on via settings then music which seems to be connected. I can view YouTube clicks on the tv, but not an app so I can watch the footy. What am I doing wrong.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Thanks

    Make sure your Apple TV is on the same network as your iPad. The SSID and password of router must be set in your Apple TV.

  • Apple TV Dropping WiFi Connection with Home Sharing

    I am currently having trouble with my Apple TV and Home Sharing. My Apple TV will connect to my WiFI network (which is only 802.11g) and stream from either the iTunes store for movies, and from YouTube using that connection fine. My trouble starts when I try to connect to another computer with Home Sharing. When I try to connect to another computer (my MacBook Pro, for example, which is also on the same WiFi network) to stream content across the network, the Apple TV looses it's connection, and then the router kicks everything else on WiFi off the network. I am using WPA for WiFi security on the router. I turned off WPA, and everything streamed across the network fine, no drop outs on the Apple TV. I can stream from a desktop connected to the router via ethernet fine (with or without the WiFi security enabled). I think it is probably the router (it is just a little DLINK I picked up a little while back), but I wanted another opinion or some troubleshooting ideas before I do.

    I am having this problem too, I also have a dlink router. Everything works fine until I try using homeshare, after a minute or so I lose all wifi router connections on everything connected via wifi, iPad,iPhone and aptv2. I have to wait for the router to reset/restart to use again. It's very odd, it even happens if I connect the atv2 via Ethernet so it's not a wifi glitch.
    Any suggestions?

  • I cannot connect to Home Sharing on iTunes, so that I can send movies and TV shows to another computer.  The other "library" does not come up in the box on the upper right side of the iTunes screen.  I tried disconnecting each computer from Home Sharing.

    I cannot connet to Home Sharing on iTunes, so that I can send movies and TV shows to another computer.  I cannot find the name of the other computer in the "Library" box on the upper right side of the iTunes screen.  Do I need to have the other computer connected to the Cloud?

    Mkae sure you have enabled Home Sharing using the same AppleID on both computers.

  • Apple tv is no longer connected to Home Sharing

    I have home sharing running on my Windows 7 PC with two Apple TV's.  One of them is on version 4.4.3 the other is on verison 4.4.4.  The apple TV with the latest version is no longer seeing my Home Share, yet the apple TV with the older software is.  I have rebooted the network, logged out of home sharing, turned it back on and even reset the apple TV with no success. 
    Does anyone know if I missed anything?  Internet test works fine, it is connected to the network, but it cannot see the movies I have in my library.

    I have just developed the same problem. Everything on my Apple TV works just fine except it will no longer load my library from my computer. I can play movied from my computer, ipad or iphone onto my ATV, but it will no longer pull them from my computer. Everything worked until latest itunes update. I have started itunes match, but everything worked after that as well.

  • Help with issues with Home Sharing/IOS5/iTunes 10.5

    Hello.  Was wondering if anyone else was having this problem.  Updated my iPad 1, Apple TV 2g, iTunes 10.5, and IOS5.  Turned on my Apple TV and Home Sharing is not working.  Rebooted EVERYTHING.  Still nada.  Entered 3 ports that Apple recommended on my router.  Nothing.  Went to my Firewall and selected "ALLOW ALL INCOMING CONNECTIONS".  BINGO!!  Only Thing that worked.  I really do not want to keep my firewall down.  Anyone have any suggestions?  I know Cloud will not work until I upgrade to Lion.  So could that be the problem with my Home Sharing on Apple TV and iPad? 
    Also, funny thing......Even though I couldn't load my computer library on Apple TV2 until I dropped my firewall.  It still saw the name of my library and was still able to run the screen saver of pictures from the iPhoto library.  Strange.  Or am I just missing something too easy????  Help please.......... 
    Running:
    Mac OS X 10.5.8 Desktop
    iPad 1g
    Apple TV 2g
    Linksys Wireless-G 2.4 GHz Model#: WRT54GS
    iTunes 10.5
    iOS5
    Thanks,
    Stick

    I am also having the same problem.  I have a 13 inch, MacBook Pro 2010 model with iPhone 3GS and Apple TV 2.  I have had no problems with any of these devices until I upgraded all to iOS 5.  The Apple TV drops my homesharing library constantly - mid movie, mid song, between movies or albums.  It has yet to make it more than 1hr since iOS 5 without dropping.  However, Netflix, YouTube and of course the store seems to work fine. All other applications on my MacBook Pro and iPhone are  having no issues and my I have checked my router ,my connections, my passwords and user names and also done all of the above.  Definitely an Apple issue.
    Also AirPlay with my iPhone to Apple TV is randomly dropping and not showing, nor our my shared libraries from device to device.
    As for wi-fi syncing, it works intermittently and when it doesn't, it appears there is nothing I can do or have found online that seems to help.  So I wait for it randomly to work again.
    Hopefully there will be an update to iOS 5 soon for all devices (and iTunes) as right now, my Apple TV is just an expensive piece of black plastic.
    Has anyone had luck with fixing this yet?

  • HT2822 My Apple TV keeps saying to turn on home sharing in iTunes. It is already on.  I think maybe the network is wrong.  I put in the right password for it but it says it's not right.  Please help. I am so frustrated with this.

    Sorry i wrote everything in the topic.

    If you are running iTunes 11 on a 64bit Win7 PC, try running iTunes in XP Compatibility mode. It doesn't make much sense, but it worked for me.

  • Problems with home sharing on my iPhone

    So my home sharing keeps crashing after it gets to 50% on my iPhone. I choose the computer I want and it just sits there and loads until it hits 50% then it stops and refuses to load anymore. I first thought it was the computer I was connected to. At the time it started I was connected to my dads iMac and thought it was something to do with the apple IDs we were using on that computer. He has a different apple ID then me and I thought it was something to do with the multiple IDs. So I logged out from His sharing and logged in onto mine using my computer. After changing the IDs and restarting both my iPhone and my computer I tried it again. Same exact thing. It loads 50% and stops no matter how long I leave it for. I tried turning off my firewall and logging out of home sharing and logging back in on my iPhone. No joy. So I'm stumped. I have no idea why my phone will not connect with home sharing. Also my dads phone will connect to home sharing. Its just my phone this happens with. And this started to happen about 1 month ago when the new iPhone 5 came out. I'm also sure that it started happening after I installed IOS 6 on my phone.

    Personally I think recognition of libraries has always been a bit flaky with both versions of AppleTV.
    Sometimes this is down to local network issues, but sometimes, for whatever reason I think communication to say iTunes is available or not between the 2 devices is not always robust, and a restart of itunes, AppleTV, router or all can be required to kick start things.
    Some people have lots of issues. I don't see that many but occasionally a library isn't available when I know itunes is running or seen and then can't be accessed.

  • Apple TV no longer connects to Home Sharing

    Hello,
    Frustrated and working on this issue for month - Apple TV no longer connects with Home Sharing! I have uninstalled all apple firmware and reinstalled from scratch ITunes, I have checked and unchecked Home Sharing and entered password dozens of times! I have reset all four apple TVs and I have unchecked/disabled IPV6 and it still does not work. all four Apple TVs have worked for years and somewhere along the way they just stopped.
    I am running Windows 7 and the only thing that has changed in the path is the Time Warmer Arris router. Apple TV still connects to WiFi and Netflicks.
    Please help,

  • 5th gen ipod does not connect to mac desktop or itunes

    My ipod does not connect with my desktop or itunes (ie when I plug the ipod in using the original USB cable nothing happens--no charging no recognition that it has been connected). My nano does work with the same cable so I know it's not that. I've followed the support instructions resetting, downloading the latest software and restarting. I cannot, however, restore since the first step of the instruction is to connect the ipod and wait for it to show in the source list in itunes. It is also interesting that when I use the car charger the ipod does charge and shows the charging icon.
    Any suggestions?

    I guess i can lend my voice to the conversation. my ipod "locks up" when i connect to my computer also. i just updated itunes and have not been able to connect. there is no ipod folder on my computer when i search through ""finder". i have to "reset" it after i disconnect to continue to play it. i have done everything short of "restoring" due to i have over 3000 songs and i'm unable to back up. the manuel refers to a disk to update. i can only play songs, and recharge. need help to.

  • My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my phone. I have updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro with iOS 10.8.2. Anyone have any suggestions? It was connecting with no problems prior to updating my two computers.

    My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my iPhone. The connection was working perfectly before I updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro to ios 10.8.2. I have had ios6 since I purchased the phone a couple of months ago. It searches for a network and finds them, but when it asks for my password, it will not accept the password. Have never had this happen before.

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
