Apple TV with not recognize home sharing
Wi-fi Works correctly, but Ethernet connect wil not recognize "Home Sharing."
Ethenet is connect, but all other Ethenet function are workin, i.e. NetFlick and Radio Stations.
I have tried all of the obvious fixs, i.e. reboot Apple TV, reconnect internet, and many others none seem to work.
It worked with Microsoft 7, but this is a new computer and does not work with Microsoft 8.
Same happen to me.
so i tried the method Winston Churchill suggested.
This is what i did:
Start Terminal (this is a program found in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder, you can also get there by clicking on the desktop, select "Utilities" in the "Go" menu, then double click on "Terminal".)
Type exactly these commands into terminal:
networksetup -setv6off ethernet
(then hit enter)
networksetup -setv6off wi-fi
(then hit enter)
Then close Terminal, and restart your mac.
Viola!
Then close Terminal, and restart your mac.

Why will iTunes see my Apple TV but not my Home Sharing?
Running a MacBook Pro and a Windows XP PC. Both find the Apple TV no problem, so pretty sure there is no network or firewall problem. But they won't see each other in Home Sharing? I see tons of posts on other blogs and am thinking there must be a glitch in iTunes 9 that is keeping this from working properly. Any insight Apple?
Yes, I've done everything that the Apple troubleshooting recommends. It's open on both computers, but as soon as I click done, it disappears. I've checked my firewall, I've uninstalled and reinstalled. I've rebooted computers, routers, etc. Nothing seems to work.

I'm using the correct APPLE ID and password for Home Sharing on my computer but my AppleTv is not accepting it? What's up with that???
I have the exact same issue. I also tried resetting my password. I can log in to iTunes on my laptop with the new password, on to my iPhone iTunes, but my Apple TV says it cannot recognize my password. I just did an Apple Tv software update a few days ago.
I am able to log in to Netflix on my Apple TV just fine. I did not have to re-enter my password for that.
Very frustrating. I hope Apple can figure this out soon and post a fix.
Thanks for any advice. Cheers. -
I just bought my apple tv yesterday and SET UP THE HOME SHARING ON MY COMPUTER, I CAN STREAM MY PHOTOS AND SEE ALL THE VIDEOS AND LISTEN SONGS IN MY ITUNES, BUT CAN NOT DO HOME SHARING, ON THE TV, ALWAYS SHOWS "TURN ON HOME SHARING ON YOUR OMPUTER WITH YOUR ID WHICH I DID BUT NOTHING HAPPEN. WHAT'S WRONG? WHAT SHALL I DO NOW?
I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem. The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6. (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time! -
Apple TV no longer sees home sharing from one computer
I have a desktop computer with Windows 7 OS, and a laptop with windows 7 OS
Up until about a month ago I could do home sharing separate libraries from either computer with either one of my (2) Apple TVs
Now both Apple TVs only recognize home sharing from my laptop but not from my desktop (where of course the library is more extensive.)
I have tried rebooting my modem, router and computer, rebooting both Apple TVs, rebooting I-Tunes, de-authorize and re-authorize my desktop computer, uninstalling and reinstalling my I-Tunes, undo home sharing and re-do home sharing my library - All on several occasions and absolutely nothing works,
I even brought one of the Apple TV boxes in and hooked it up with a micro USB as someone suggested and reprogrammed it back to factory default settings.
Does anyone have any other ideas that might possibly work to get my desktop library back on line for Home Sharing???
Mark
Henderson, NVBrian,
Thanks for responding.....................
No, it just shows the Laptop computer when you click the computer tab box when you first open Apple TV - ie NetFlix, Hulu, Computers
If you go to settings and then computer - it just gives the option to turn home sharing off, it does not mention any specific computer there. -
Apple Tv no photos. Home sharing only lasts for one session
My Apple Tv only shares photos for a while then my computers name disappears from head list I can only access Music after subscribing to I match and using I cloud. Have tried some ideas suggested by others with similar problems; and 4 calls with Apple TV support culminated in in 2 responses "we are not trained to assist with entering access ports in port forwarding. " Try calling BT re your home hub. Bt check out all ok with set up . Final response from Apple support "must be your Dell computer (only one year old and all is well!! Other people seem to feel abandoned by Apple. I had a response to an email as a last resort which was full of meaning less platitudes and attached 3 links to Apple support pages. Have now spent about 30 hours on this and next step is return to Amazon to see if they will exchange or refund. I do thinkl that Apple tv is a great concept. Why is it the Itunes store and paid for purchase areas always work fine. Am I being uinkind? If not please let me know of same problem and any fix that works because I am pretty fed up with it.

Got problems with iOS7 and home sharing
Got problems with iOS7 and home sharing music. How do you home share music now. I don't have a airplay button either. It all work fine until I updated
I too am haing the same problem.
Oh i have an iphone 4 by the way - if this helps.
I have updated the itunes to 11 point something (latest as of 19th Sept '13) and still not joy.
My phone sees the network, then when i try to connect to it in the "Sharing" spot in music, it gives me the rotating icon and then i get "Unable to Home Share at this time".
I had this problem with the ios 6, which was log out of you apple account, and then turn off the phone -this was supposed to clear all the history and old connection details etc.
Then restart the phone and re-log into itunes account.
As i say - that worked last time, but this time, i have no idea what is going on.
I am looking at reverting back to the ios 6, and waiting for ios 7.1 which to be honest - wont be long away with the amount of issues people are having. -
Apple tv does not recognize my new icloud id
I had to change my icloud ID and password. Apple TV does not recognize the new icloud ID/password after signing out and signing back in, I rebooted/reset, still nothing. I reopened home sharing too.
After much trial and error, I solved this. I logged out of icloud on my MAC, and since I had already signed out of icloud on the apple TV, the apple TV finally accepted my new icloud id and password. Apple tv also wanted me to input my password via the TV and NOT the remote. So.....apple ain't lyin' when it says to sign out of all your accts on ALL devices before changing any apple IDs or passwords. Let this be a warning to anyone in the future so to save you much time and frustration

Apple TV does not recognize my Apple account username (email) and password, but iTunes, my iPad and iPhone does. I have rest my password three times, same results.
ATV says my computer is not authorized, but i-Tunes says it is.
I have i-Tunes open on my computer and have entered i-Tunes store, ATV says it can't access the store. Both on the same network!
I am so frustrated with this system! All these problems with Apple TV are not the end but the beginning.
In i-Tunes, songs are lost when they have not been moved. I lose whole albums I have ripped from CDs to iTunes
An audiobook book in two files are in the library but only one file is recognized by iTunes when I try to play it or transfer it to my iPhoneI Am having the same issue. Ie on the password issue.
I Am using a Macpro though.
i Have had no issues with the setup until recently.
However I think the hard drive is starting to fail as it keeps on losing the wireless connection and gas been stuttering a lot on playback. -

Issue with Apple TV not recognizing the home sharing option in itunes. Calls for paswrod but even when added it still does not recognize it. iTunes indicates that the home sharing optionis on but this is apparently not seen by Appletv. How can this be resolved?
Hi Augstiner57, I have the same problem. Did you figure it out? Mine seems to have happened after I updated Apple TV. Now it doesn't recognize my Home Sharing even though on my MacBook is it turned on.
I am running an old OS though (Leopard) so I am wondering if I need to upgrade. -
Apple tv not recognising home sharing with mac book air
Apple TV has worked fine in the past but now it is saying I need to turn on home sharing to find my computer. Home sharing is turned on my MacBook Air - nothing has changed since it last worked. I turned Apple Tv on and off again and tunrned home sharing on and off but still no go. Any advice appreciated.
Hi there Keryn62,
It sounds like you haven't changed anything, but you are unable to use Home Sharing between your Apple TV and your computer, even though you have verified that they are both signed into the same Apple ID. I would use the rest of the troubleshooting in the following article:
Troubleshooting Home Sharing
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Why won't my Apple TV recognize my Apple ID when connecting to Home Sharing?
I'm out of town using my Apple TV in my RV connected to WiFi at a campground and I'm trying to connect to Home Sharing because that seems to be the only available option to me when I turn on the Apple TV.
Whenever I try to connect my Apple ID info, it gets denied with the "Error" page saying that my Apple ID info is incorrect. However, I have re-entered and rechecked the info multiple times and even tried using a different family member's ID info.
What am I doing wrong here? I just want to watch Netflix via Apple TV!Re: Solution for Apple TV 2, Xfinity router, Ethernet connection and Home Sharing
You may need to configure some ports on your router for port forwarding. Before you do, you may want to try setting the Apple TV date and time to manual but have the time zone be the same as your computer that is running iTunes.
The link is to a more aggressive approach that will solve your connectivity problem. Your equipment may not be the same but the configuration changes is what you are looking for here.
