Home sharing does not work with apple tv

Can anyone help me.  I used to be able to stream all content from my home master computer to my Apply TV.  Now it suddenly does not work.
Apple TV itself works just fine.  I can also airplay using it with out IPADs.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes.  Reset the modem/router.  Reset Appletv.  Tried with Norton disabled.  etc.
Nothing seems to work. 
I keep getting the 'Turn on your home sharing in Itunes' message.   But it is on.
Help is appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Sometimes just disabling Norton isn't enough, you may need to hunt down every last file it has written to your computer then re-install iTunes. I understand Norton can be quite a nasty little intrusion.
I know very little about PC's or security software as I have neither, but the following article might help you.

  • Home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update.

    home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update. Does anyone else have the same issue. Updated all computers in my home, deauthorized and reauthorized each computer. turn off home sharing and turned it back on. don't know what else to do..please help...

    Our Apple TVs continue to lose connection ever since installing Mountain Lion on the host computer. The only thing that fixes them is to quit and relaunch iTunes, which only works unti the ATV goes to sleep. If a movie is paused for more than a few minutes and the ATV goes to sleep, pressing play again on the remote is greeted with "There are no movies on this computer" or "Turn on Home Sharing."
    If we stop a video on one ATV and attempt to resume it in another room, the error begins again. The other ATV can't connect until iTunes is relaunched.
    My guess is that it has something to do with the new [annoying] security settings. But I still haven't found a fix other than restarting iTunes everytime we want to watch something from our downloads. Fail.

  • Home sharing does not work with iTunes 12

    I have been using home sharing with iTunes a lot, mainly to stream TV shows from my Mac Pro (2008) to my Apple TV (3rd Gen). But after installing Yosemite and iTunes 12 it doesn't work any longer. My Apple TV finds the iTunes Library, but can't connect with it. At the same time home sharing worked just fine with my iPhone 5 and iPad 2 (iOS 8.0.2). After installing iOS 8.1 home sharing with my iOS devices doesn't work, too – same problem as with Apple TV: iTunes library is found but devices can't connect with it.
    I already tried to solve the problem with the suggestions on Apples troubleshooting page:  Fehlerbehebungsmaßnahmen für die Privatfreigabe
    My setup:
    Mac Pro (2008) with OS X 10.10 (14A389), iTunes 12.0.1.26, connected via Ethernet and WiFi
    Router: Fritz!Box Fon WLAN 7270
    iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1
    iPad 2 with 8.1
    Apple TV (3rd Gen), newest software update, connected via Ethernet
    Any ideas, what the reason for that problem could be and how to solve it?
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    BTW: Sorry for my English. I am not a native speaker.
    Greetings from Germany

    I had the same problem after updating to iTunes 12 and using my iPhone 6.
    I have solved it by doing these simple steps:
    1. Turn off Home Sharing in iTunes. Close it.
    2. In your iOS 8 device, Turn on Home Sharing: Settings/Music/Home Sharing
    3. Open back iTunes
    It looks like in one of the updates, possibly iOS 8.1, had signed off Home Sharing completely.

  • Home sharing now not working with Apple TV 6.0.1/ iTunes 11.1.3.8

    It was stupid of me to accept my Apple TV's notice of a new upgrade, which I accepted, and it is now version 6.0.1.  I upgraded my iTunes to 11.1.3.8.  Now my Apple TV doesn't recognize my Home Sharing with my computer.  I've reset the Apple TV to download the latest software again, and still nothing.  Before the update everything was fine.  This is not some Windows 8/firewall/network issue.  This is an Apple TV/iTunes/Home Share issue.  I have restarted Home Sharing multiple times in iTunes with my account without any success.  Please help.  Thanks.

    Hi guys! I have just found a solution in a different thread - huge thanks to Toploader21120:
    1) open control panel.
    2)Choose Network and internet
    3)Select the VIEW NETWORK STATUS TASKS under NETWORK and SHARING CENTER section
    4) Choose the active network connection. It is usually name " wireless Network Connection 1" or something similiar.
    5) Click the properties button
    6) If the Internet PROTOCOL VERSION 6(TCP/IPv6) is checked, uncheck it, then click OK.
    7) Click CLOSE
    8) Restart iTunes and try to use the Home Sharing feature again.

  • Home Sharing does not work. It's time for Apple to act.

    My specific question: Does anyone from Apple read these discussions *and* use the information to fix iTunes?
    My issue (and I've given up on this): Home Sharing does not work and it needs to be fixed. I use a Windows 7 based PC and can successfully access my iTunes library from my iPad, meaning all network requirements are met. However many artists and albums do not appear. I know this is not about the tagging/data for the albums.
    I found recommendations in these forums regarding the iTunes database (.itl), that this is a sign that the database is corrupted, and how to re-create it from the xml version. I used this technique and it did fix the problem - all albums and artists appeared. But within a day or so, they disappear again, meaning the .itl file is corrupted again and has to be re-created again. Also - if the .itl file is corrupted, then why does everything appear fine in iTunes? Somewhere, somehow the data are good enough to make iTunes work properly.
    Bottom line: If you can't get the basics right, then Home Sharing does not work. Some very helpful forum commenters said it could have something to do with the anti-virus software, but that is just passing the buck.  I should not have to know how to do all this. I should be able to turn on Home Sharing and enjoy the music from my iPads, iPhone, etc. Imagine you have to know how fuel injection works and be able to fix it every two days just to use your car - you should be able to turn the key and drive.
    There are more problems - I won't even get into how the album won't display properly on the iPad and other annoyances.
    Apple? Are you listening? Home Sharing does not work. It is the opposite of the image projected of easy-to-use, people-friendly products.
    I suggest you either make it work or turn off the feature.
    Joe

    If your database is constantly becoming corrupt, you have a problem on your computer, it is nothing to do with homesharing. The corrupt database does not affect iTunes because that uses another file. It's not passing the buck, by considering whether anti-virus software might be causing this, this is the sort of stuff anti-virus software does (although I'm not saying that's what it is in your case-I don't know at this stage), you can't hold Apple accountable for badly written software that you have put on your computer yourself.
    If you can't correctly identify what is causing your problem, you are never going to fix it.

  • ITunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64

    iTunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64.
    Getting the following error message:
    Home sharing could not be activated because this computer is not authorized for the account "iTunes account." Please authorize this computer and try again.
    This is a bug since my computer is authorized in iTunes and there is only 2 computer authorized for my iTunes account, so I have 3 more left till I should get this message.
    I've just upgraded my iPhone to OS 3.1 using it this morning.
    Please advise.
    Environment: Windows 7 x64, HP TouchSmart tx2-1020us Notebook

    <edited by host>

    I am using Windows 7 x64.
    I am running iTunes 9.0.2.25
    I am running Mcafee.
    I can see and play music from the iTunes installation on my Windows 7 machine, but I CANNOT access the library to copy songs from this computer to other computers on my network.
    YES, I have enabled "Home Sharing" using my iTunes account. NO, I have not authorized more than 5 computers on this account.
    I believe this to be a Windows 7 related issue, as Home Sharing worked as advertised when I was using Vista (before I upgraded to Windows 7).
    I CAN set up Home Sharing on two other (host) computers in my home network and it works. These computers are XP and a MacBook Pro. I CANNOT access my Windows 7 machine x64 to COPY music from one autorized library to another. Please help!!!
    P.S. - I have attempted to get this to work by turning OFF my McAfee firewall. Windows firewall is disabled.

  • IPhone (3,3G,4) does not work with Apple Universal Dock.

    I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch that has been upgraded to iOS 4. My iPod Touch will no longer sync via the Apple Universal Dock. Also, my new iPhone 4 also will not sync via the Apple Universal Dock.

    Trust a geek not to give up. I decided to get to the bottom of the "iOS device does not work with the Apple Universal Dock" problem. I noticed that the iPhone 4 and iPad came with slightly different USB-Dock adapter cables. I wondered if that might be the issue. My Apple Universal Dock was connected to my Mac via the original dock adapter cables which are slightly larger. I connected the newer cables between the Mac and the Apple Universal Dock and .... voila! Both the iPod Touch with iOS 4 and the iPhone can now connect via the Apple Universal Dock. Apple changed something in the way the adapter cables function.
    Of course I still have the problem with the car head unit dock adapter ... Sigh. I'll have to call Best Buy ( uughh! ) and find out if they'll do the update for me. The were the vendor authorized installer.

  • ITunes/Music Home sharing does not work on my iPad Air

    No matter what I do I cannot use Music.app on my iPad Air to play music from my iTunes Library with Home-Sharing switched on. The Library name correctly appears in the Music.app source list after the loading symbol takes an age to complete. When it appears to have connected to the Library on my Mac, contents of my Library are shown in the app but I cannot play anything. If I select an albumn and press Play the Music.app merely cycles rapidly through all the track titles of the Album and then stops. Nothing plays. I've tried dozens of times to get this to work, even rebuilding my iTunes Library. Nothing seems to cure the problem. I can connect and play via Plex which is just plain daft seeing Apple designed all the software/hardware but they, themselves, cannot correctly code for this basic functionality.
    Also, not all Album cover artwork is displayed correctly.
    It seems many of the things I bought the iPad for are non-functional and the tablet is virtually useless. I can't beleive Apple would produce software and hardware which is specifically made to work harmoniously but obviously doesn't.
    Any help, here, please?
    I'm also having problems with Bluetooth connecting to my Mac Pro (2008)... Namly, it will not.

  • Home sharing does not work after update to snow leopard 10.6.4 and iTunes 9

    I am using home sharing since about a year without any problems. After updating to snow leopard 10.6.4 and iTunes 9.2 it suddenly does not work anymore.
    On my iMac and my Mac Book Pro I get error code 3259 and it tells me to check my firewall and to enable Port 3689.
    I did not change anything in the firewall settings, itunes on both allows data traffic in both directions. I also do not find any option to activate a port ( also wondering why this is suddenly now necessary)
    I deactivated home sharing on both machines and enabled it again. It still does not work.
    On both machines iTunes displays the the library on the left side but like said it is not accessable
    With Finder I can access the other computer from both machines without any problem.
    Any help to solve this would be very much appreciated

    first of all, if you are behind a router firewall, and have your network secured (WPA2 and a long, non-dictionary password made up of letters and numbers), you don't need the software firewall on your Mac(s).
    @ least turned if off for troubleshooting purposes.
    turn home sharing off on both computers, and make sure
    (a) both Macs have access to the internet
    (b) iTunes on both machines is authorized for the same iTunes account.
    turn home sharing back on on both Macs.
    does it work ?

  • Home Sharing does not work on my wired computer but does on all the wireless ones

    Basically I got Apple TV today and went to turn on Home Sharing on all my computers. It works fine for all the wireless ones, but the wired one wont show up on any home sharing on the others or apple tv. The wired one is connected to the same router that the wireless ones are.
    Ideas?

    Fixed my problem. I just needed to upgrade the firmware on my router.
