ATV2 Home Sharing Failure after Upgrade to 4.2.1

I have 3 ATV2s in my house. All 3 were working fine and able to stream from either my MBPro or iMac with no difficulties. Since upgrading one of my ATV2s to the newest software/firmware version 4.2.1, it is no longer able to log into my iMac library to stream. However, It still works with my MBPro. The other 2 ATV2s, which I did not upgrade (fortunately) to the latest ATV2 software version, continue to work flawlessly as they have all along logging into either library. When the upgraded ATV2 tries to log into my iMac library, it fails and generates a screen that says it is unable to do so and asks to verify that iTunes is open and it is on the same network.
Any ideas regarding what has caused this and how it can/will be corrected? Apple needs to take a close look at this.

I have the same problem. the unique solution is to put Poweroff to make a reboot in force of the appleTv.
i lost my homesharing after a inactivity.
if you shutdown tour computer, the homesharing don t apparears.
the home sharing is visible betweteen computers.
i am sur that it s a bug important of the network connexion. AppleTv think that the port was open, but I was closed.
I was a problem of Tcp/Ip connect. AppleTv don t work well the interconnectivity client and server. i hope that bug was resolve in a short Time by apple.

MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5

After upgrading to OSX 10.8.5, my MacBook does not detect any wireless nertworks. My iPad and iPhone work fine, my router has been rebooted, WiFi is turned on, and the ethernet connection is how I am writing this message to you via broadband. There are a half dozen wireless networks in range (according to my iPhone) but the MacBook cannot find the router I am sitting next to. Any ideas on how to correct this issue?

It appears an SMC reset was required:
HT5815 I've just done the 10.8.5 update on my MacBook Pro end of 2008, and WiFi don't work after reboot... Impossible to activate it...
Here is your other post: MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5
If you reply to it and marked it "solved", perhaps with a link to that post (copy and paste it, or just say you performed the SMC reset) it will help others find a solution. Thanks!

same issue if:
- Switching accelaration method to "UXA" as per https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/40860
- Adding Option "DRI" "False"
Digged a bit:
- same modules errors but appears to be a Gnome bug (X starts): https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1441716
- same modules errors but X starts up without problems http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … 175511372/
makes me doubt if this issue is related to the modules not found. Which is the single indication I found so far x-/
Any light on where can the issue comes from? hardware is pretty much standard even if getting a bit old. Never had Xorg related issue so far on this pancake.

ATV2 Home Sharing Drops Since Mountain Lion Upgrade

I've found some stuff close to my issue, but really nothing addressing my issue. I have 3 Apple TV 2's. When running my 27" Mac on Lion, everything streamed wonderfully. I have a BIG router capable of handling movie streaming, so the network should NOT be the problem. After installing Mountain Lion, all three of my Apple TV's have been getting dropped from Home Sharing during the middle of a media stream. It happens with regularity with music and movies. Even Netfilx streams drop because Home Sharing drops out. The only way to fix it thus far is to disconnect and re-connect Home Sharing at the 27" Mac, where the streams originate. I'm certain this problem is due to the Mountain Lion upgrade. Is there a fix or do I need to wait for Apple to push something out to us?

For anyone else having the "white screen" issue with youtube, and/or yahoo issue. I seemed to have repaired the issue. I turned the parental controls off for both of my kids accounts, restarted my Mac, and the problem vanished.
I also turned the parental controls back on after this, restarted the computer, and the problem came back.
*** This is 100% a Parental Control/Mountain Lion glitch. Hopefully Apple knows and is working on a solution. The sooner they fix it, the sooner I can turn the parental controls back onto my kids accounts.

No sharing library after upgrade 5.3

Frustrating, my Apple TV does not recognize my library in my computer after upgrade to 5.3
My computer is ok, latest iTunes version, same account in Apple Tv, latest version on Apple TV too and it keep saying that I need to activate the home sharing in my itunes.
Wi-fi ok, Internet ok, I can do Airplay, but watch my videos from my library or listen to music ou see the photos not!
Does anyone had the same problem? Tks

Why Apple Tv 2 drop Home Sharing connection after few minutes?

I just installed an Apple TV 2. Internet connection applications as Apple Store, Youtbe, etc work very well but it drops Library`s communication just after a few minutes. I`m running files like music that are in the library in a PC with Windows Vista.
I`ve been reading other discussions and have done every thing that was suggested as:
- setting Static IP address
- have set Firewall with the ports are supposed to open
- have set Port Forwarding on the router (a Linksys WRT54GS)
- have updated Network Card driver
- have updated router firmware
- turned off sleepling mode and screen saver
- restored Apple TV 2
- reset router
- installed last Itunes version
All that and possibily other things that I do not remember right now but still looseingconnection to the Library after a few minutes. I have realized first time I put a slide show of pictures with music background and the music always stops after the second music. After that you just see the message that you need to turn on the Library related to my Apple ID.
Today I did a test with a home sharing with another computer I have that runs Windows 7 and guess what: the Home Sharing worked fine!
So, my conclusion is that there is some flaw on Home Sharing when running Itunes in Windows Vista or specificly with this computer running the Windows Vista.
I have done a research and have not found anything else. So, could anyone have a hint of what is going on?
Thanks,
Ricardo

Yesterday were released the IOS 5.1 and the Itunes 10.6. I thought that updating the IOS on the Apple TV 2 and the Itunes on PC, my problems would go away. I did that but for my surprise it has NOT.
Then I had a recall that I have read somewhere a while ago about issues with the AVAST Anti-Virus and Home Sharing, that can generate connectivity issues,
In one of my first temptatives to resolve this issue I have stopped the AVAST and I still had the problem, so I left this trail of solution. But since nothing was working I decided to uninstall it. I was a little skeptical about it but gave a shoot.
To my surprise, when I uninstalled it, booted the computer and did the Home Sharing, the problem was FIXED!
That made total sense because the other computer that runs Windows 7 and I have tested before, worked fine, it runs AVIRA as Anit-Virus software.
So my conclusion is that, on my case, the AVAST caused the issue and to stop its service was not enough to diagnose the issue. I had to uninstall it, believe or not. And that the issue has nothing to do with Windows Vista OS but with AVAST.
After that, I uninstall AVIRA as Anti Virus software and, since that, the Library and Home Sharing (24 h ago) is working perfectly and I think that will stay.

Can not edit file on network shared folder after upgrading to windows 7

Merry Christmas and happy new year,
Due to some configuration changes on a specific application, I have forced to upgrade OS of a few number of workstations from Windows XP to windows 7. After upgrading I am facing a strange problem on WIN7 workstations. These workstation are member of a Windows
2008 R2 Active Directory domain which also has a Windows 2003 advanced server additional domain controller. Also there are a number of shared folders on some member servers (all windows 2003) which are mapped as network drives at user logon. Before upgrading
mentioned workstations to WIN7, users was able to edit his/her files on all of mapped network drive according to his/her permissions without any problem on their WINXP workstations, But after installing windows 7 they begin facing problem on one of these mapped
network drives and the problem exactly is when they edit a file, in more specific word an excel file, and then try to save, the excel returns an error message of "document not saved" and exit the excel program. It becomes more strange when you learn
that the edited excel file is disappeared and replace with some "tmp" file. If user copy the excel file to his/her own desktop, edit it and then copy it back to its original place on mapped network drive, it will be replaced normally with its older
version. In other words if user wants to edit an excel file on that specific network drive, he/she must edits it somewhere else and then replace it on the network drive. If the same user uses a WINXP box, there will be no problem.
Can anybody help me to fix the issue?
TIA
Bijan

Thank you Karen,
The problem is fixed, but my case was none of what you suggested. In fact I have
another problem which I described in another question and it was of the root of this excel file issue. I describe what I have done to fix the latter problem hope to help fixing similar issues to mine.
Okay, as it is described in the
question, I was not able to open a shared folder with its UNC address while it could be mapped as a network drive without any problem. I examined what I was replied and some other ways, came to no result. I decided investigate a similar shared folder in
permissions to problematic one to see if the problem is repeated. So I created a folder and shared it with similar permissions and examined it. Surprisingly there was no problem. It was wise to remove sharing of the problematic folder and share it again to
see if the problem resist. But when I tried to remove sharing I received an error message saying that
the shared folder is related to a DFS root. When I took a look at the DFS roots of domain there was no sign of the problematic folder (that made me recall that I created a DFS root with problematic folder mistakenly and removed that DFS root).
After little searching, I found out that the problem could be caused by traces of the removed DFS root. Yep! I found the suspect! The registry key
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DFS\Domain\problematic shared folder. I removed the key restarted DFS service and log off and on and Bingo!
This problem pops up a few more questions:
1) Why is not the registry key related to removed DFS root deleted from the registry of windows 2003 server?
2) Why was I able to browse this ex-DFS root shared folder without any problem in windows XP while it was problematic in windows 7?
3) As there is no special client service for DFS and user can access DFS root targets like other shared folders what is the deference between shared resource access mechanisms in windows XP and windows 7 that caused the problem?
Bests,
Bijan

ATV2 home sharing problem

I have atv2 with latest firmware and I'm using windows 7 all current updates with atvast antivirus with windows firewall itunes 10.7. When I try to play a video from my itunes video library atv asks me to turn on home sharing and it is already on. So I have to go to my computer turn home sharing off and then back on. When the movie is over and I want to play another movie I have to do the same turn off home sharing and turn it on again. Any help would be great.
Thanks,

Is your computer going to sleep by chance? It might not be turning Home Sharing on and off. It might be that you are waking the the computer up when you go over to it. If your computer go to sleep mode and does not "Wake On Lan" then AppleTV can not connect to iTunes. Ever since Lion the "Wake On Lan" interupt has not been working reliably.

File Sharing broken after Upgrade to 10.9

Hello,
after upgrading to Maverick Server i cannot connect to File Sharing services anymore.
AFP protocol does not accept my user passwords anymore. Only guest access works.
I read that Mavericks prefers smb now instead of afp. But smb seems not to be active at all. Allthoh the server app claims that smb is running.
Any similar observations?

Safari Plug-In Failure after upgrading Flash Player

I've got OS X 10.9.2, Maverick, running on my iMac, and Safari 7.0.3.
Today I upgraded Flash Player to 13.0.0.182 version.
After upgrading I starting receiving the error message "Plug-in Failure" in every page I opened with video broadcasting, such as Youtube for instances, and no videos would be displayed anymore.
I already reinstalled Flash Player, rebooted my machine, have all plug-ins enabled in Safari Preferences, but no success whatsoever.
Think the solution could be downgrading to the early version of Flash Player, but have no idea how to do that now, since the Adobe site only allows me to UPgrade and not DOWNgrade.
Could anyone help me with this?
Many Thanks...

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Test.

IPads, iPhones, and Apple TVs can no longer load home sharing library after 2 years

I have been using home sharing for the past few years and streaming my music, movies, and TV shows to my Apple TVs, iPads, and iPhones. A couple weeks ago it stopped working. On all the devices I see the library (Familys Library) but when I go to load it fails to load. The iPads and iPones get to about half of the circle and fails. On the Apple TV I think the message just is "Cannot load Library"
I have tried restarting all of my devices but that has not helped. I changed the account that the home sharing is setup for and that did not help. I rebooted the Windows machine multiple times. I disabled home sharing, rebooted, restarted home sharing, all to no avail. The library system is connected over Etehrnet so I made the system to a different port on the router with no luck. I have also unplugged the router nad plugged it back in, also with no luck.
So, I will try replacing the ethernet cable but I do not see that as being the issue. It seems like something on that computer.
Going through the Programs it looks like iTunes and Quicktime were both updated on 3 June, right around the time this started to occur. I also loaded items for my duaghters Nook, Adobe Digital Editions, so that she can get books. I removed the items that I loaded for the nook and that did nto fix the issue. I would like to downgrade iTunes, but I cannot find an old copy of iTunes plus I do not know if this will destroy the library contents.
My questions would be
1. Can I find an older version of iTunes
2. Can itunes be removed from the computer and reinstalled without the iTunes library getting blown away? I have a lot of moveis and descriptions and information located in the Get Info that would just stink to lose
3. Could this be a corrupt library and is there a way t verify the library?
4. Any other things I can do and check
Thanks for any insight and help
Cheers
Dave

All the cutting and pasting and I forgot the machine information:
OS: Windows 7 x64
Memory: 8G
Current iTunes: 11.0.4
Thanks

[Solved] Boot failure after upgrade to udev 0.84

After upgrading my system it no longer boot properly.
The kernel boots fine. Initrd executes and the normal init starts.
First of is the start of udev. This starts and immediately complains that nss_ldap is unable to contact the ldap server. Not very strange when networking isn't started yet.
After a little while and a few repetitions of the nss_ldap error message udev says its done.
After this activating swap fails but mounting Root readonly succeds. After this init proceeds with "Checking file system". This fails miserably saying "no such file or directory /dev/sda3" which is the previously mounted root filesystem.
It seems like udev gets busy when not able to connect to the ldap server and hence doesn't create the device nodes for my harddrive in time.
Because the check of the filesystem fails i end up on a rescue prompt. And when logging in to that and check /dev the sda* nodes are there.
Does anyone have a clue on how udev depends on nss_ldap? Any other thought on whats going on?

Ok, after some investigation it turns out that it seems like udev starts a few /sbin/vol_id on the disks/partitions attached. These processes in turn triggered nss_ldap which couldnt connect to the remote ldap server due to network not being up.
I have a less than beautiful solution to the problem. Altering nss_ldap to do soft binds instead of the default that is hard binding. When using hard bind and connect fails it uses an exponential backoff and tries again a little later. Changing to soft bind makes nss_ldap returning immediately when failing.
To change this edit /etc/nss_ldap.conf and change the line saying something like
#bind_policy hard
to
bind_policy soft
This at least helped me getting a system that boots again.
