Apple TV Homesharing issue

Why do I always need to close and reopen homesharing to see music on my TV.  I'm sharing through a Apple TV.

I am starting a resolution thread so everyone can post their resolution solution to this to consolidate them. 
Try disabling your IGMP proxy on your router. 
Share if something else fixed your issue!!

    Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I wasted about 1.5 hours with Apple on this issue. It all started happening after I updated to the latest version of iTunes. I haven't been able to sync my iPhone 4 in 1 month and am freaking out about possibly losing my pictures, video, text messages and music.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    If might be helpful if you actually told us what the problem is.

  • Apple TV mirroring issues even with Mac mini,airport extreme bought at the end of last year,and an iPad 2

    Apple TV mirroring issues even with Mac mini,airport extreme bought at the end of last year,and an iPad 2

    I have the same issue with ATV3 and iPhone 4S. Everything works properly, no buffering issues when watching netflix, vimeo, youtube BUT when I try mirroring even a small 15sec iPhone movie it stutters and buffers and results to a choppy playback..same with larger mp4 files such as 1-1.5GB, buffers forever and never plays, I just re-encoded the same movie to 700MB and plays perfectly..
    Why Apple, why?..so close..I can accept the bigger movie files issue, but not being able to playback properly an iPhone movie is funny..I recorded a movie with lower bitrate through Filmic Pro (Economy mode, up to 16Mbps)
    and plays properly.
    Is there an upcoming software update going to solve the problem or is it hardware related and therefore not fixable.
    Please don't reply with a network related answer, by 2012 we know how to set up our networks and everything else runs flawlessly.
    I'll apreciate a fast answer, we love Apple, but if it can't play an iphone movie (or a high quality movie from iTunes) it's just not up to my standards.
    Thanks again.

  • I am getting entries which are 'all day' entries duplicated 8 to 9 times. I have updated my software on the phone to the latest version. Entries in iCal are only once.  I have completely emptied my iPhone of all data. Has Apple resolved the issue yet?

    I am getting entries which are 'all day' entries duplicated 8 to 9 times. I have updated my software on the phone to the latest version. Entries in iCal are only once.  I have completely emptied my iPhone of all data. Has Apple resolved the issue yet?

    Simple solution. Get a real internet service and not a cell phone internet connection service it was never meant to be used as the primary internet service
    And how do you lose a home and job and be sued as you claim. What over 10 Gb of data? Give me a break
    In my city small claims is $5000.00
    And over that amount you can go to a superior court to have your issue settled.

  • Apple TV homesharing only works on ethernet

    Hi -
    I have a 2nd Generation Apple TV connected to my wireless network. I have a Windows 7 64-bit computer with my iTunes library connected to ethernet on the wireless router on the same network. The only way I can get the Apple TV to see my iTunes library is to plug an ethernet cable into the Apple TV and connect it to the router. That is not ideal since I need a long cable across the floor to accomplish this. Does anyone know of any troubleshooting techniques I can use to allow the Apple TV to see the content of my Windows 7 iTunes library without ethernet? It would be wireless to ethernet. I am using the same Apple ID for the ATV and the Windows 7 iTunes.

  • Apple Mail Font Issues with Outlook

    Have apple fixed this issue with fonts changing and appearing differntly when you send emails to users on Microsoft Outlook. Most of the forums have message posts from 2011 but 2 years on you would think the issue would be fixed.
    I have a whole team of computer illiterate staff and can't expect them to change the font format everytime they send an email. It looks so unprofessional sending emails out like this - next step is to switch to outlook for mac - any good feedback on this, I've heard if you have high volume emails working through gmail imap accounts that it just crashes all the time?
    Any help or plugins would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi Kurt,
    Thank you for your response. I am fully aware of what you have just said, and I do follow this basic protocol. The 'gripe' is that it seems that when we setup our message font in preferences one is under the impression this is the font that will be sent out. I later discovered this is only my screen font, and when we compose an email this font (for instance Arial 12pt) is not tagged in the outgoing message. In-fact it is left blank, and the receivers mail will change it to a default such as times new roman. However this seems to create strange changes on the receivers end and sometimes the font can come out huge or varying, there is no consistency and the email looks ugly, As a business owner, my email is my letter head, and is a communicational face of my business.
    The issue could be easily resolved with an option for an Apple Mail user to set up what font they want their out going message to be in and for Apple Mail to actually tag that font in the message. Without the 'user' having to each time manually choose this font.
    I always use Arial 12pt for my out going message, but it's frustrating that I have to each time select my text and change the font and point size, (which means my screen message font has to be another font and size otherwise apple mail does not pick up the change). What I, and from what I can see many people, don't understand is most Mail Software (if not all), except Apple mail, don’t have this issue. And if I used a different mail app I can choose my out going font such as Arial 12pt, and the receiver will see the same font (obviously providing it's a websafe font), and I don't need to keep telling the programme to make it Arial every-time I compose a new message. This would save time.
    I know that this ‘gripe’ is not only myself, and that there is a large number of people out there also annoyed by this, and many Apple uses choose not to use Apple mail simply because of this reason. Which is a shame, because Apple mail in my opinion is the best mail app out there.
    I don't expect the programme to be perfect, but this is basic user experience and basic functionality, so why can't Apple correct it? All the amazing features in the world are worthless if the basics ‘user experience’ is not friendly.
    I really really hope Apple does something about it, or at least develop a plugin that we can download to sort it out for those of us who want to use mail as I have described.
    Attachment Tamer has sorted out the whole compatibility and friendliness of attachments, and I can set up how I want my attachments to work, I do it once and don't have to think about it again. I did have to pay for this function. But I should not have had to. this is not a feature I should have had to plugin, it should come standard with Mail, every other mail software does, so it is a user expectation... And the same goes for how we set up our fonts, in Rich Text, I should only need to set it up once and not think of it again, a general out going font should be a standard function.
    As I said, I do ‘put up with it’ mostly because I’m an Apple fan, and In general hugely happy with the Apple products. But should someone have to ‘put up’ with something like this, when it is something so small that should really have been sorted out years ago in the early versions of Mail?
    Sorry Kurt, I'm not really moaning at you directly, it's just that its a frustrating non-feature that I can see Apple is not even taking into consideration, and probably will never look at sort out. Why, is the question?

  • Apple tv streaming issues with netflix

    Can anyone help ?
    I have also used my apple tv for using my netflix streaming, for some reason i can access all the movies but when i click to watch them it states an error has occurred. I have now started using my wii u to access netflix and i have no issues. I havent changed any settings on my apple tv.

    Yes, I'm having the exact same issue since the latest update. I thought it was my internet connection but it worked perfectly fine in my ipad and macbook air.
    I also have 2 Apple TV's and the problem is in both of them. I really hope apple fixes this issue ASAP.
    In the meantime, if you wanna watch your netflix content on your apple tv with good streaming and you have an iPad/iPhone with netflix on it. I recommend Airplay mirroring the iOS device and then opening netflix, it will airplay the video content and the iphone/ipad screen will function as a remote control with all the settings and stuff...its kinda cool...the only bad thing is that you can't turn off the iPad/iPhone screen or it will pause the movie.
    i hope this works for you while apple fixes this issue.

    will apple fix this issue free of charge? it seems that it is a known issue
    my IMAC will not start at all.i press the power button and nothing happens and i bought it a year ago. i tried everything but it seems that it is a know problem reported by other users

    You still haven't provided any useful information, the  machine has a 1 year warranty and if it's less than 1 year old you can still buy AppleCare. If it is over 1 year old then you have missed your opportunity and will have to pay for any repairs. Known issues may only be known to you and a few others, it may not be wide spread at all. When posting you have to be very specific, we have no idea what you are thinking and cannot see or touch your machine so you have to be much more descriptive.
    Good luck,
    I'd recommend contacting your local Apple Store or AASP today and begin getting the machine fixed.

  • When will Apple resolve its issue with Adobe so iPad users can use flash?

    When will Apple resolve its issue with Adobe so iPad users can access flash?

    That isn't going to happen. Adobe has not only given up on iOS, they have given up on all mobile device now.
    Why do you think you need Flash?

  • Apple TV 2 won't load library - Homeshare issue?

    I have two Apple TV2s that link into my iTunes library held on my PC. Until recently both worked very well, but following the recent update, neither will pick up the library and load it.  The Apple TV can see the library, but when I try to load it, it delivers a "can't load library - ensure the library is on the same network" error, or just returns me to the main menu. The network connection is fine - the ATV picks up YouTube and all the other internet based sites. It can also pick up and play music from my iPad and iPhone via Airplay. I can only assume it's a home sharing issue. iTunes shows the two ATVs on the Airplay section.
    I've checked the settings for Home Share and they're ok, I've tried rebooting the router, rebooting iTunes, rebooting the ATVs, switching off/on the home sharing options, all without success. The fact that both ATVs have stopped simultaneously suggests it's not a hardware issue.
    My PC runs Vista 32bit, router is a DLink 2740b, Anti-virus is Microsoft Security Essentials.
    Any help please! Its driving me mad.
    Cheers

    A couple of things I forgot to mention--
    When browsing movies after restarting my computer, it no longer seems to load the artwork
    My library is about 1.5TB

  • Apple TV / Homeshare no longer working

    I've got a 2nd generation Apple TV which has been working perfectly well for nearly a year. It's got the 5.1.1. update.  iTunes has the 11.0 update and is on an iMac running OS X 10.7.5
    Since yesterday, whenever I go to the Computer menu, Apple TV keeps telling me that I need to switch Homeshare on in iTunes and won't progress beyond that. However Homeshare IS turned on in both iTunes and Apple TV. I cannot see my libraries for music/tv/film at all and it also says it cannot find my photostream. 
    I have all the latest software updates. I've tried switching homeshare off and back on again in both iTunes and Apple TV. I've tried rebooting both the Apple TV and my iMac and also rebooted my router for good measure. Nothing has worked.
    The only thing I can think of that has changed between Apple TV working perfectly and now not working at all is the upgrade of iTunes to 11.0 and looking over on the iTunes board there seems to be one **** of a lot of issues with homeshare.
    Where's Apple to comment on/fix this?  As it stands, my Apple TV is an ususable chunk of plastic.

    Thanks for the quick responses.
    I have pinged with speedtest several times when the download gets hung up. The results for my lowest result so far are download: 4.96 Mbps and upload 5.25 mbps
    I Have not checked signal strength and noise, I will look into that in a little bit.
    THis is problem has developed in the last few days. I have never experienced a problem before.
    I Have not experienced the same issue with movies I have purchased as I have with movies I have rented.
    thanks again for any assistance you can provide
