How can I get my Apple TV 3 to see me iTunes library again?

I have the following setup: my main computer (Windows 8) is connected via LAN to the router (it has no wireless adapter), and all other devices are wireless (that's three iPhones, an iPad, an Apple TV 3 and a Macbook Pro (Latest Mountain Lion)).
Everything was working fine until last week; the only thing that I can think of that changed is that I updated iTunes everywhere.
Now none of my devices will admit to seeing my main iTunes library (the iPhones and iPad in Remote, the Apple TV in Computers, the Mac in iTunes).
What gives? I've tried everything: signing in and out (and in and out and in and out) of Home Sharing (everywhere); changing Apple IDs everywhere; rebooting the router; rebooting everything else (including unplugging from power); yelling my lungs off at the stupid Apple TV for its "iTunes libraries... will appear here" for no good reason really.
Help!
(Obviously what I really care about is the ATV3 recognizing my main iTunes library's existence...)

Hello Polindrom,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
First thing I would do is restart your network router and computer. If that does not resolve the issue it sounds like you may have to uninstall iTunes and its associated softwares with this article:

You can transfer itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

try disabling email scanning for incoming mail.
One of the last things that occurs is the mail server and Thunderbird sign off on "where we are up to" and Thunderbird stores this state information in the popstate.dat file in your profile (there is one in each POP mail account folder). If the anti virus, or you for that matter, end the conversation a few seconds early that hand off does not occur and the popstate is not stored.

Since installing the last iPhoto update sharing a photo via e-mail opens a google e-mail format instead of an Apple Mail format. How can I get the Apple Mail format to come up when I click on share?

I downloaded and paid for an app on my ipad, how can I get it free on my iphone without using itunes as my laytop is broken. I cannot seem to find the purchase tab in app store? I am logged in using the same ID

First, the app must be universal...designed for both iPhone/iPad:
Tap App Store.
Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
Tap Updates.
Tap Purchased on the resulting screen.
Locate the app in your Purchased tab.
Tap the download icon.
The app will begin downloading and you'll be taken back to your home screen.
