Apple TV can't see my computer even though home sharing is on

I have just bought Apple TV. I plugged it all in correctly, and initially I had it all working. But now it asks me to turn on home sharing on my computer. Home sharing is on. It is on the same router as the iMac. I have checked it is the same apple id and password. I have updated to latest software in both apple tv and iTunes. I have rebooted both systems. Running out of ideas. I can access my online iTunes account on the ATV, but not my mac. Computer running Mac OSX 10.7.5 and iTunes 12.0.1.26. Any ideas?

I'm having this same issue. I have a Mac running 10.7.5 and Apple TV with latest software. Things had been working smoothly with Home Sharing, until I recently updated iTunes to 12.0.1.26. Now no other device can see that Mac or the home shared iTunes library. I've tried to see it with the Apple TV, iPad, iPhone and MacBook Pro. I've tried putting the Mac both on wifi and ethernet (always using the same network), but nothing. I'm at a lose. Did you find a workaround with yours?

    My apple tv no longer detects my windows vista computer even though home sharing is turned on. What do I have to do to fix this?

    I have Windows 7 and Mcafee. Here is what worked for me:
    1. Remove Mcafee and install Microsoft Security Essentials (free from the Microsoft website), then
    2. Start the Windows Firewall from the Control Panel, then
    3. Click on the left pane click on "Allow a program or feature through the Windows firewall", then on the new window
    4. Click "Change Settings", click Yes to the pop up window, and
    5. Select both Bonjour Services one at a time, and check the box that says "Home/Work(private)" network. Click OK at the bottom and you are done. Good luck.

  • Apple TV cannot see my computer even though I have verified that both are set to the same home sharing network. I can see my music and Netflix but not photos.

  • Can't see some files, even though I know they are there

    This is a strange one.
    A couple of days ago, I began not being able to see most of the folders in my documents folder. I can see some, but not most.
    I know the files are there, because I can access recently used files from the applications like Word and Excel that have a recent files list. And, they are working fine.
    I just can't see the bulk of my folders. I've checked the things that occurred to me on security and sharing, and I don't think I changed anything or added any new software.
    Any guesses? Thanks for your help.

    Got my answer. I had moved the files (or someone in my family did), and they were deeply buried in another folder. Thanks.

  • IOS devices can't see entire iTunes library via Home Sharing

    Using both iPad 2 and iPhone 4s to view iTunes library on my iMac via Home Sharing. Both see very limited amounts of Artists/Albums from iMac library. Also, both see different Artist/Albums. p.s. I used Home Sharing for 3 yrs w/o problems, before this.

  • I am trying to update my macbook from osx10.6.8 to the free update but it says it can't update my computer even though it fits the standards. Any one have this problem?

    I am trying to update my macbook osx 10.6.8 to the free update and it says it cant update it. Anyone else have this problem and if so have you found a solution?

    The point in reference, regarding an offer of something 'free' could be any kind of upgrade to software, a newer version of browser, an adobe flash player, a supported version of OS X from the Mac App Store, etc. With an Apple ID one can access the online stores from OS X 10.6.8.
    So, one has to be specific, and also detail the computer configuration and specifications so as to help confirm what kind(s) of upgrade may actually work with the hardware vintage of the computer. The Model number, build series year, is it an Early, Mid, or Late (year) model?
    These factor in hardware differences and what kinds of OS X version or other software may or may not work in the computer. Also, an upgrade of RAM may be needed for some software upgrade or system upgrade, to work correctly. While your computer may be unable to upgrade to Mavericks 10.9.2.
    If too old, it may do OK with Mountain Lion 10.8.5, or maybe Lion 10.7.5. Some users with an older Mac prefer 10.6.8 if it works well and they have applications that run on there; older applications may not run on Mavericks 10.9.2... Or maybe the Mac won't like it. Make a backup before upgrades.

  • Can't see my computer on apple TV

    Hi
    I can’t see anymore my computer on my apple TV. Home sharing is turned on, on both with the same account, they are both connected to the LAN but I can’t see my computer on the Apple TV2 and therefore can’t use it to stream music.
    any clue?
    thnks

    arrrrgghhhhh!!!!!!
    it has disapeared again.
    reading other threads it seems to be related to the last itunes upgrade to 10.2.2 some people have downgrade to 10.2.1 .
    that’s a pain in ***, I guess I’ll wait for apple to find a fix. the should be more careful now that some devices are linked together. changes you make on one can have effect on others so testing must be wider.
    regards

  • ICloud + Apple mail; can I see content in mail folders on my mac?

    Question for those who know iCloud.
    If I am using iCloud + Apple mail; can I see content in mail folders on my mac?
    Have 2 email accounts currently (yahoo and gmail), and use smart rules to move my email to them for organization automatically, issue is then I cannot see them on my iPhone mail, they are there, then "gone" when moved to the iMac folder.
    https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-MltXmqSQAXI/UkjrwPwtQmI/AAAAAAAAQk8/qwuOU7FFj dI/s720/iMac%2520mail.jpg

    I don't see any evidence of an iCloud account there - do you actually have an @icloud.com address? iCloud syncs only its own email, it has no relationship to any other service.
    However, if both your Mac and your iPhone are receiving, for example, Gmail, and you move a message on your Mac from the Gmail mailbos to a mailbox in the list under 'On My Mac' then this removes it from the GMail mailbox and as it's only on the Mac the iPhone cannot see it. In order to do what you want you have to create any new mailboxes on the GMail account itself and move the messages there.

  • I have an iphone 4 and it's not working, if i pay can apple replace it with the same model even though it's no longer for sale?

    I have an iphone 4 and it's not working, if i pay can apple replace it with the same model even though it's no longer for sale?

    If the iPhone has not been opened or serviced by other than Apple
    or authoriized service provider (there are a few other requirements),
    you should be eligible for out of warranty replacemement for $149 US.
    Apple maintains sufficient stock for replacements even for iPhones that
    are no longer available for purchase. You may be better off upgrading to
    a newer version than paying $149 to stay with the iPhone 4.
    What is no longer working? If you provide more details as to the problem
    and what troubleshooting steps you have taken, some one may offer
    a solution.

    Use Software Update to update your os to 10.6.8 and anything else that needs to be updated.  After the installations go to /Library/Preferences - trash the com.apple.Preview.plist file.  Repair permissions, restart your computer and empty the trash.  Your Preview issue should now be resolved.

    What were you buying ? If you were gifting content or an amount then that will be taken from your credit card, an account's balance can't be used for gifting. Otherwise you can try contacting iTunes Support and see what they say : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • HT5624 I've opened up iTunes and went to buy a song, but then it came up with a box saying "this is the first time you are purchasing an item on this computer" even though my computer is authorised. What do i do?

    I've opened up iTunes and went to buy a song, but then it came up with a box saying "this is the first time you are purchasing an item on this computer" even though my computer is authorised. Then when i put in my password it takes me to the security questions and i dont know what the answers are. What do i do?

    A computer can be authorized to play content purchased using a particular Apple ID (the iTunes Store account).  However, being authoized to play content is not directly related to being able to buy content using that Apple ID. 
    For example, a parent may purchase content for a child and authorize the child's computer to play that content, but that does not mean the child is able to purchase content using that Apple ID.
    If this is your Apple ID, you should know the answers to the security questions.  If you do not, you'll need to contact Apple iTunes Store customer support

  • My wireless key board doesn't seem to communication with my computer even though bluetooth shows it is connected.  I have changed the batteries on the keyboard and when turn on the key board the green lights comes on shortly and disappears.How to fix ?

    my wireless key board doesn't seem to communication with my computer even though bluetooth shows it is connected.  I have changed the batteries on the keyboard and when turn on the key board the green lights comes on shortly and disappears.  Can any one  help?

    Hey Annar99,
    I found a few articles that might help with the issue you're encountering. These first two are if the Bluetooth keyboard you're using is the one that came with your iMac. The first is a general "how to" for setting up your Apple Wireless keyboard, while the second one is for troubleshooting if the advice in the first article isn't working:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1809

    If, on the other hand, you're using a third party keyboard, then I would take a look at the following article's troubleshooting section:
