Apple TV - Homeshare not visible

My parents have an iMac which shares it's internet connection with an Apple Tv however home sharing does dot appear on the Apple TV.
The AppleTv is accessing the interest and I can buy and download programs but the Homesharing is not appearing
I also cant get my iPhone to connect to the Apple Tv via Airplay, the icon is not appearing
I've done the useual voodoo with restarts and resets of both the computer, internet router and the Apple Tv with no luck
I'm assuming is is something wrong with the network as I took the AppleTv to the apple shore where it connected without any issues.
I have turned and and turned off the comuters firewall but not joy
Any ideas?

Q. Hi I am a new customer to I pad air.
So is this a question about ATV or an iPad?
I am having problems pairing my Apple TV .
What do you mean by "pairing" it?  What are you trying to do?
i have connected new net gear router N600
How?  WiFi?  Eithernet?  If WiFi you entered the password into ATV?  If so how if you could not see the menu?
Unable to display Apple TV Menu
Meaning that the ATV is now showing up on your TV at all?  Or there is just a specific menu you can not access?  Is this a used ATV?

I just bought a used imac M5521 ... it works perfect except when I try to go some pages on the internet they are huge! but other pages are just fine .. i don't know how to fix this and i'm not sure about using IE on a mac anyway ... how can change my browser to safari or firefox? the apple page is not visible on my imac ... any suggestions????

    There is no Safari or Firefox for Mac OS 9.
    This (below) is the best you can do for web browsing under Mac OS 9. It's a special build of Mozilla 1.3.1.

    Still not up-to-date by any means, but a lot better than IE5.

  • My apple tv is not working on the computer tab as it says to turn on homesharing and it is on

    my apple tv says to turn on homesharing which it already is
    i am unable to access the photos in the computer tab
    any suggestions
    thanks
    i have restarted and returned on both computer and apple tv btw

    After hours of trying to fix- finally found simple solution !
    Go to the main computer(s) where you ahve your itunes program. This applies to PC Win7 in my case.
    Upper left hand corner under 'File' See drop down menu where it says " Home Sharing'. If on turn it off , then go right back and turn it on- you will have to sign in with Apple ID and password.
    Then -this is the solution.
    Go to your My computer on your PC - hit button for it to shows all your drives. Click on your main drive - usually 'C". It will show all the stuff on that drive.
    Find where your Itunes program is - usually under "programs" Once you find Itunes , right click to get drop down menu- at bottom is "Properties" right click. another small windows comes up - click tab for sharing . If it says not shard - you will see a blue highlighed  " Advanced Sharing" click that to folow instructions to enable sharing.
    Do that for any program you want to share with Apple TV.
    If they are not set to "Share" Apple Tv will not work for Home Sharing.
    Once all programs involved with Ituenes etc are set to shared . Then go to Apple TV. back to Home Sharing and everything should show up.
    Mine did and it was a simple fix.
    Good Luck

  • HT201363 How can I make an Apple ID without credit card if the "none" tab is not visible to me?

    How can I make an Apple ID without credit card if the "none" tab is not visible to me?
    Help me out please

    Hello, aligt9p. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    To create an Apple ID without a credit card, there is a specific series of steps that have to be processed in order to allow the payment to be set as none on creation of the account.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366
    If the specific steps have not been processed, a credit or debit card will be required to complete the setup the account.
    However, it can be removed and payment method changed to none as long as there is not an outstanding balance.

  • I own a ipad mini and a iPod touch , both configured on the same apple account, how do I ensure that my data on the ipad mail,notes,pics etc is not visible/accessible on the ipod

    I own a ipad mini and a iPod touch both configured on the same id
    How do I ensure that my data on the ipad mail,notes,pics etc is not visible/accessible on the iPod touch when the iPod is connected to a wi fi connection

    Mail: do not have the same account loaded onto the two devices.
    Photos: go into Settings->Photos & Camera->and turn off photo stream.
    everything else, sign out of the Apple ID on the device you dont want to be visible.
    good luck

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
        1.    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
        2.    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
        3.    Restart your router.
        4.    Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
        5.    Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)

  • Apple TV will not find my computer on homesharing

    It used to work before.  I am using a Windows 7 computer with the latest version of iTunes (12.0.1.26), the latest update for Apple TV and all have the same appleID.  All devices have home sharing turned on.  I have unplugged my router, restarted all devices (computer, appletv and itunes) and still have no luck.  Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Apple TV will not accept password to homesharing

    My Apple TV will not accept the password to my Homesharing

    Hello dstalk
    It sounds like you are being asked to setup Home Sharing. If that is correct, check out the article below. If the password is not working, verify that you can log in with it at appleid.apple.com and change it if necessary. If it for Netflix, check out the 3rd article for additional support.

  • How can I add a device to my library? My e-reader is registered but not visible.

    Hello,
    I use a Tolino Shine and can download E-Books via WLAN directly to it. I can also download the books to my netbook. However, when I plug the Tolino into my netbook it is not visible in the Adobe library and I cannot move books from the library to the Tolino.
    I tried to reset the Tolino to the manufacturer settings. This did not improve the situation.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks a lot!

    any chance of it working on non-apple phones?
    No, it requires the operating system iOS, only available on Apple Devices.

  • HT3180 I owned an Apple tv and after upgrade my internet to higher speed my Apple Tv  does not work the only message that show on the screen said if time and dates are not found go to apple/support/tv tried almost everything and nothing.  Please somebody

    I owned an Apple Tv and since I upgrade my internet to higher speed my Apple Tv does not work. Please someone help.

    In most scenarios you shouldn't need to forward ports, however if you need to, you may be best contacting your ISP.
    As with most router issues, I would recommend that you contact your ISP with details of your problem (assuming that it was your ISP that provided it to you).
    There are simply too many manufacturers with different software features and settings and often different names for such features and settings, that the best advice will likely come from those that are knowledgeable about your particular router.
    Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports

  • Why are shared files not visible when iPhone4S connected to iTunes?

    What makes this problem mysterious is that I have exactly the same settings on the same or eqivalent Apps on iPad2 and iTunes4S but when my iPhone is connected to my iTunes (running on my PC under Win7) it shows no files on Apps like Pages, iBooks, Keynote, and Print-n-share.  Each of these Apps has files and each shows files when  I connect my iPad2.   I cannot export or import filesto/from itunes and iphone because the list of files inside the Apps is not visible in itunes. 
    PS I CAN, btw, export and import files by using the amazing App and service "DropBox" which is the only route in and out of my iPhone (I am not ready to use iCloud).

    This is not a reply but an addition.  While searching for answers as to why "Shared" files in original Apps in my iPhone4S did not appear on itunes I came across a similar discussion on another Forum in which Jim described in some detail how to get the two devices (my iPhone 4S and my iPad2) to recognize similar embedded files in similar Apps.  https://discussions.apple.com/message/16690584#16690584
    I went through this promising procedure but it did not help.  Since the two devices are independent (I think -- they are on the same accoubt but ar different devices) I should be able to make them work the same way with regard to what is seem in iTune.
