Home sharing not working since last update

Just updated my Apple TV3 to the lastes software and now the home sharing is constantly dropping. i can watch for a few seconds and then the entire network shutsdown and i have to restart it.
Anyone else has the same problem?

A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports
Port

Protocol

80
TCP

Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them.

    Hey Janetna5,
    Thanks for the question. Does restarting your iPad help the issue?
    Restarting your iOS device
    1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    2. After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

    If not, is it possible that your side switch is toggled to mute sounds? See this resource for information:
    Volume buttons and the Side Switch - iPad User Guide
    http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad9940e758
    Mute notifications, alerts, and sound effects. Slide the Side Switch toward the Volume buttons.
    The Side Switch doesn’t mute the audio from music, podcasts, movies, and TV shows.

  • Home sharing not responding after last update in ATV2 and 3

              I used to watch my itunes library content with home sharing in my ATV's with no problem, listen music, watch movies, etc, but since last ATV update I can't access to my Itunes library (home sharing), I followed and read twice your troubleshooting articles, and nothing happened. I'm in the same wifi, same Apple ID in Itunes, ATV's and in my iphone Remote app, I can use the airplay with no issues, but not directly from the ATV home sharing, message in the ATV: "Could not connect to (my library), Make sure, blah blah blah...". I have that latest versions of itunes, ATV, Iphone IOS, etc, I read all your blogs and nothing seem to be working. Hope anybody can have some answers. I try in both ATV2 and 3 with same results.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Have you tried restarting the router.

  • Screen not working since last update

    Hi, since I downloaded last secirity update few days ago, my computer started behaving weirdly, first couldn´t´empty trash although it would tell me that ooperation was completed right, all files would stay in the trash (i tried secure emty trash and all) and now the screen is so dark that i can only see shadows of windows. Luckywise i have a second screen at home so i can send this but, it´s not enough i need to work with it. I already tried to reset PMU but nothing happened, and in my last moving apparently i´ve lost the OS dvds so i can´t try to reinstall and chech definetively if the problem is software or hardware, before i take it to the retailer for repair (and i loose my working tool who knows how long) is tehre anybody that can help? does this last update srewed somebody else´s computer ? is it just a coincidence?
    Thanks

    After reading the thread "17" PBook display colors are off .. bad" and your thread I was able to fix my problem. I think what must have occurred is the recent computer update some how reset some of my display preferences and it turned the brightness way down. All I did was go to System Preferences then Displays and adjusted the brightness.
    I hope thats all you problem is, good luck

  • Screen rotation not working since last update

    I have had my galaxy s4 for almost a month and love it, but it recently had a software update and ever since the screen rotation is not working. The camera is always upside down. Occasionally if the screen rotates to landscape, it won't rotate back to portrait when I turn the phone back the other way. I have tried to restart the phone. I have unchecked and rechecked the auto screen rotate setting. Nothing fixes it. Any ideas as to what is causing this and how I can fix it?

    Thank you Klue for responding, but when I followed your instructions, I could not find a setting for Gyroscopic calibration. I researched it further, and learned that the latest software update for the S4 eliminated this setting.  If anyone else has suggestions, please help! I can't post photos on social media because they are all upside down. Help please!!!!

  • Internet not working since last update

    I believe it was Thursday or Friday, my mini downloaded an AirPort update. Ever since then, it hasn't been able to load web pages. It will download e-mail just fine through the Mail application, and it will even start to load a web page, but then it will just freeze. It's like it won't download anything beyond a few k in size. I've tried both Firefox and Safari. If I go into 'Internet Connect' it says it's connected, and the signal strength is usually about half-way full. I haven't made any changes to my network, or my router, which leads me to believe it was the software update. Before the update, it was working fine. Is there any way to "roll back" to the previous software?

    Nope, no kids. Though I do have an open wireless network, so it's possible that somebody else is connecting and using it (I know, bad idea). However, I've taken out my Windows XP laptop, set it right next to the Mac Mini, and had no problems browsing wirelessly, so it's not the network, or the signal strength.
    I did upgrade the RAM in my mini almost 2 weeks ago, so it's possible the antenna was damaged, but it was working fine since then.

  • Drag and Drop not working since last software update

    Drag and Drop not working since last software update - this is occuring on Outlook for the mac and I just tried moving  an icon on the doc and the same thing occured.  YOu can drag but the items will not drop.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • HT3819 Why can't I get Home Sharing to work since updating iTunes to 11.1?

    Why can't I get home Sharing to work since updating iTunes to 11.1?

    Did you restart your router?  Did you check Firewall settings?

  • ITunes 10.6.3 home sharing not working properly

    iTunes 10.6.3 home sharing not working properly.  I can access with my three ATV2's watch a movie later that same day it tries to access and ATV2 just keeps trying and never gets through to the library.  If I restart iTunes its fine then later can't access.  I am running iTunes 10.6.3 on a i7 Mac Mini with 10.7.4.  Sole job is to be iTunes server and an occasional HTPC with remote buddy running.  I disabled remote buddy ajax remote feature, and file sharing is on so I can load new tracks form other macs Thats it, a vanilla install with all updates.. No problem prior but not sure if problem free period was with 10.6 earler versions or 10.5 versions.  I update as warnings to do so come up.  The remote app has same problem accessing the Home Share.  I disabled home sharing on my iPhone and set to access the old method with 4 digit code and sees all the time and will play to my express base stations so seems to be home sharing issue because iPhone apps with home sharing on and ATV2s have issue accessing.
    I'm never home but when I am I use this equipment loads and this weekend not reliable at all.  I have firewall disabled, and setup is as before and is working fine.  I am using Mini by ethernet and using AEBS 1st generation gigabit as router only wired to cable modem and whole house ethernet attached, latest version AEBS gigabit as a wireless bridge and 2 prior version 11n expresses and a 11g express, all expresses are set to wireless off and are connected to ethernet and then to a stereo in 3 different rooms.
    I can't be only one.  Considering downgrading to last version of 10.5 but not sure how to do this.
    How many of you are having trouble?
    Any resolutions?
    How to report to Apple?
    How to downgrade safely? Or is it 10.7.4?

    I ran into the specific problem in another thread.  There are more than 100 connections from the apple TV's to iTunes.  You can do a netstat -a (windows or Mac), and verify the problem.  iTunes is smart enough to stop allowing more than 100 connections but stupid to allow the ATV to create so many connections.
    Now for what you really want!  Set all of your ATVs to wifi only.  Even setting the iTunes host to wifi might help also.  I think that wifi is more unreliable, and forces connections to drop, keeping the count under 100. 
    I also turned off ip v6.  That could help you also.  I originally had problems on a Mac mini, and built a windows 7 box to try to fix the problem.  The wifi trick worked on both platforms.  Several of us have bug reports into apple.  I have a wired house also, and am very angry to NEED to use slow wifi to overcome this problem.  The ATV gen 3 has been able to keep up with 1080p over wifi, so it doesn't hurt too much.  What really hurts is spending over 40 hours troubleshooting this bug.

  • Home shareing not working

    home sharing not working  in version 10.3.6

    Home sharing is only supported on version of iTunes that run on OS X 10.5 or later. You could go to the app store and purchase the Mountain Lion update for $19.99, then update iTunes and then it should be easy to set up.

  • Does Home Sharing not work through a network extender?

    Home sharing seems to cut out whenever I get into range of my network extender (Airport Express).
    Here's my setup, it's pretty standard: Cable modem wired to Airport Extreme router, which is connected wirelessly to the MBP with my iTunes hard drive. All of this is in my living room.
    I use the Airport Express to extend my network into the bedrooms.
    Whenever I'm home sharing from my iTunes library on my iPhone, if I walk to my bedroom, it cuts out. It usually crashes the iPod app. If it doesn't completely crash it, I can get it to restart buffering if I walk back to the living room.
    Does Home Sharing not work with wireless extenders? Do I have to change something in the set up?

    However, when a device goes from being attached to one wireless device to another, there is often an interruption as the device must change the radio connection to the network. There is a brief period of no connectivity (a second or two)
    Try starting the share while in your bedroom instead of the living room. I'll bet it works.
    Makes sense - so it's a bug in the iPhone OS, that it's unable to recover from temporary interruptions to wifi connection?
    However, I'm not so sure. Starting the share in the bedroom works as you suggest (since 4.3.2 - didn't under 4.3.1) - but as soon as you go back to the living room and the iPhone connects to a different base station the music stops playing. Note also that the shared library itself ceases to work. So for example you can't be in one room (on the extender) and add the shared library (without actually playing anything yet) then move to another room (on the base station) and play a track from the shared library. It just plays dead and you have to explicitly reload the shared library to get anything to play.
    So is it maybe a bug also with iTunes that it can't keep up with a shared library client moving from one wifi station to another?
    How do you report these things to the people that matter by the way?

  • I use OverDrive to get audiobooks from my library to listen on my ipod. Does not work since latest update of ipod. Converts the WMA and acts like it is putting it on the ipod but then it isn't there.

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.Have yo tried:
    - Backing up and restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
