Cannot turn off Homesharing to AppleTV: IPv6 connections remain

I CANNOT prevent my AppleTV from sharing my iTunes Library even though ALL sharing on my computer (including "home sharing" in iTunes) is turned OFF
There are several discussions about Homesharing not working if the AppleTV has gone asleep for over 24 hours.
In "most cases", restarting the AppleTV and/or restarting iTunes will solve this problem. On occasion, I have had to reboot the computer that was suppose to be sharing.
I have two computers. One with Homesharing (system 1) on and the other with Homesharing (and all sharing) turned off. (system 2)
When I restart the AppleTV so that it will see the iTunes library for system 1, it will -also- pick up the iTunes library for system 2.
The Bonjour Sleep Proxy is somehow involved in this. It keeps the ARP table populated with IP addresses of systems that have gone to sleep. (AppleTV)   An Airport Extreme will run the Bonjour Sleep Proxy. I have found that the AEX will cause as many as 60 DAAP sockets (both v4 and v6) to be open on my computers -- if iTunes is running. When the AppleTV wakes up, restarting it seems to clear these extraneous DAAP sockets and ONLY ipv6 sockets remain open on system 2.
On system 1 (Homesharing enabled) has 3 ipv4 sockets open for DAAP.
This appears to mean that when Homesharing is turned off it is ignored by IPv6.
On further investigation, I note that link local addresses are being used between the AppleTV and system 2.
tcp6       0      0 johns-macbook-pr.daap great-room-apple.54552 ESTABLISHED
tcp6       0      0 johns-macbook-pr.daap great-room-apple.54551 ESTABLISHED
tcp6       0      0 johns-macbook-pr.daap great-room-apple.54550 ESTABLISHED
The only problem is that the MAC address these connections are made over are to the Airport Extreme
great-room-apple-tv.local               90:72:40:c:8c:9f     en1 22h54m16s S
fe80::cbc:15ab:bdd7:98b7%en1    90:72:40:c:8c:9f     en1 22h54m0s S
? (10.0.1.1) at 90:72:40:c:8c:9f on en1 ifscope [ethernet]
Of course, this is a side-effect of using Bonjour Sleep Proxy.
When the appleTV is asked to list the contents of the iTunes Library on System 2, the MAC address is corrected to the Apple TV.
But the problem remains that HomeSharing for system 2 is OFF. How did this information get into the Apple TV and why does System 2 even answer?
Attempting to turn off IPv6 on system 2 has resulted in "System Preferences" freezing and being "force quit"
(I set up IPV6 for manual configuration but did not enter any address. A warning message came up saying an address was required but System Preferences no longer responded.)
Properly entering "::" for all zeros worked. But that still does not disable "link-local" addresses. So restarting the AppleTV -STILL- shows system 2 iTunes Library being available over IPv6 sockets.

Have you recently installed LittleSnitch or some other network "guardian"?
There have been a number of these messages recently, though generally with other apps.

Hello laurijreimer
If you are having issues with your iPod, try restarting it by holding the menu and the center button until the Apple Logo comes up. Check out the article below for more info.

Turned off homesharing and remote app unpaired? Cannot use it.

Hello,
I tried to correct the Homesharing and Itunes Store issue on my Apple TV G2, it kept wanting my old Apple ID, so following instructions on here, I turned off homesharing in "Computers" on AppleTV, and instead of letting me put in my current Apple ID, it unpaired from the App Remote on my Ipad. Thinking it was an app issue, I uninstalled and restalled the App again (the older verison, not IOS 7). When I opened it, the Apple TV icon was no longer there, and when I sign in to homesharing, there is no option for Apple TV. I no longer have the original remote, which is why I've been using the Remote app. I can't control Apple TV, now. Anything I can do without buying another one? =(

Unfortunately, I think you'll need an new remote.

Please help! I cannot turn off IPOD due to blocking message

Please help, dear Ipod Experts and better Ipod Users,
I cannot turn off the Ipod (when I click to the bottom ) anymore as following message appears:
"FireWire connections are not supported to transfer songs, connect to the USB cable provided"
Even resetting the Ipod the message appears again and again and I dont have the slightest idea what the IPOD is trying to tell me. I have regularly uploaded the songs via Itunes with the USB cable (Nothing else) and I use the official I-Fusion Sonic Impact to hear the songs in loud. Can there be the connection, because I remember that this message started appearing when the IPOD was connected to the I-Fusion.
In order to turn the IPOD I have to leave it on till it turns off due to battery deload...Very sad solution, isnt it?
Thanks so much for answers for a real desperate Ipod Fan

It sounds like you have reached the authorization limit of 5 computers. So if you need to authorize another one, either deauthorize any other computers have authorized in the past that you still have physical access to or use the Deauthorize All option as described in this article.

Wireless 3dTactic Rage - beeping sounds and cannot turn off . . .

For some weird reason i cannot turn off my headset anymore.
It doesn't work.
When i try, it simply looses connection with pc and reconnects. At least i'm guessing that's what's happening.
The USB transmitter is swithching between blinking and fixed light.
I've tried re-pairing it a few times now, that stops the connect/disconnect issue but i still can't turn off the power. . .
Unlike many others who are experiencing problems, i have NOT attempted to install any firmware updates, so i'm at a loss at what is happening here.
Any suggestions?

Cannot turn off airport on Imac and PowerBook

I cannot turn off airport on iMac 17" intel (late 2006) and G4 powerbook. One common thing is:
I got rid off .plist files (airport related) on both machines prior to putting new AE in to mix. I set up AE and not only I cannot establish wireless on both machines I cannot turn airport on both as well. Old G4 iMac (3rd machine that was not altered) works.
What did I get rid off?
iMac gives me this:
AirPort Card Information:
Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x87)
Wireless Card Locale: USA
Wireless Card Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (4.170.46.9)
Current Wireless Network: AirPort is currently turned off
While Network pref. and icon in menus says airport is on. (Same with powerbook)
Any suggestions?
Just to ad to confusion. This is replacement AE. First one after firmware upgrade (7.3.2) started to misbehave (very weak signal, mostly). I did downgrade to 7.3.1 but after couple of days I went for factory one (firmware that is), and here I am.

…after waking both computers from sleep situation is reversed. Airport is off and I cannot turn it on. After restart I am back to Airport on (not able to connect, while showing networks to join) and not able to turn off.

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
Perhaps you have an app running. Try force quitting.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
If that doesn't make a difference, reset your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds until you see the Apple logo.
Make sure your iPad software is up to date. Connect the iPad to your computer. Launch iTunes if it doesn't open automatically. Under the Summary tab click: Check for Update

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Cannot turn off passcode after ios8 upgrade - iPad mini

Upgraded iPad mini to ios8 and cannot turn off the passcode. In settings, I can turn it off but it tells me that I need to set a passcode within 60 minutes. It then counts down and requires me to set a passcode once 60 minutes are up. Also does not let me change duration of passcode (from immediately to 4 hours for example). Any thoughts on how to turn it off? Thanks.

is this your iPad or one administered by someone else...for example if I use an iPad from work our IT policy dictates that I must use a passcode and I am not allowed to turn it off.
If it's yours, just a shot in the dark, do you have restrictions enabled? If so, go in and disable them then see if that will allow you to turn off the passcode lock.
