HT200197 Home Sharing on Apple TV keeps disconnecting

My apple tv just recently stopped recognizing that my home sharing is turned on.  I can watch a full movie from my iTunes, but when it finishes, it goes to the home menu and when i go to the Computer app, it says to turn on Home Sharing.  Home Sharing is turned "ON" on my itunes on my computer, so i'm not sure why Apple TV doesn't recognize it, even when it clearly recoginized it as turned on 2 hours prior.
This started happening after i updated the Mavericks OS to the version 10.9.2 and itunes to version 11.1.5.  The only fix i have is to turn "off" home sharing in iTunes then to turn it back "on."  This seems to fix it in the meantime, but after another movie, it happens all over again.
Does anyone else have this issue?  It's pretty annoying to have to keep turning off then back on Home Sharing on my itunes.

I've recently had BT infinity2 installed and that was a joke! 2 engineer visits later and I'm still not seeing speeds above the top end of infinty1, I monitored the line very closely for the first few weeks and noticed a lot of sudden drop outs, got to a point were bt claimed they couldn't do any more and offered a deadlock however that's no good to me as it's quite rural here and there is no other provider!
Not that this would effect the ATV but I have had concerns over the quialty of the hub!!
I might call Bt and get there tech people to look into the possibility of it glitching ?
I know they can look at fault logs and see if it shows up anything?
Between us we have 3 bt hub set ups with Apple TV and all are encountering the same issue?
A bit coincidental?

  • Home Sharing on Apple TV keeps cutting when playing my music

    I've got my Apple Tv connected to my Sony Bravia via HDMI.
    It is then connected to my wireless router.
    I've turned on home sharing and play my music via the APTV, however after say 30 mins of playing music, it just stops. I go to the home page of APTV and my 'library' is missing under computer.
    Only way I can fix is to go to the laptop itunes and turn off home sharing and then turn on again.
    I've only had this a week and its very frustrating!!
    Sometimes it lasts more than an hour before cuts out.
    Ive got no problem with accessing internet etc, so doesnt appear that connection is stopping.
    Any advice greatly appreciated!!!

    This problem is driving everyone nuts. I have tried everything. I have fixed all the IP addresses on my wifi network, uninstalled, reinstalled iTunes, hard reset the ATV, check all the port settings, turned QoS on the router on and off...at the end of the day, the only thing that makes the homeshare appear is turning the ATV off and on. And when it cuts out again half an hour later, you have to do the same thing all over again....
    As for the suggestion for some - presumably - Apple support people that its a problem with third party routers, that is just baloney. My router maintains internet and wifi connectivity perfectly. Buy an Apple router?? No thanks, not after this ATV fiasco.
    On top of this, it doesn't play AVI or other normal movie formats so everything has to be transcoded to MP4.  And I need to have iTunes open on my PC for the homeshare to get picked up (or rather for it to get intermittently picked up).
    This is the biggest piece of junk I have bought recently. Think I'll use it as a paperweight. No more Apple for me.

  • Can't access itunes store or home sharing on apple tv, apple tv 2 keeps saying that network time needs to be set.

    Cant acess itunes store or home sharing on apple tv 2, keeps telling me that network time needs to be set. When I go to time zone section on apple tv - I chose a city...but still no luck. Apparently, can't do anything without the time being set. How do I set this up?

    Yes, I did (turning off and then on again is a way of life for any windows user!). Actually, through a process of trial and error I have fixed the problem although I'm not very comfortable with the fix. For some reason, the OS X firewall is to blame. By relaxing the firewall settings to their most lenient, the iTunes store is now fully accessible via iTunes, and so is the whole of the apple website. Another added side effect has been that general web browsing is now lightning fast.
    I'm therefore left with the (temporary) conclusion that my iMac's internal firewall is only capable of blocking access to the web resources of the people who created it, and slowing my web browser to a crawl.

  • I tried to do a home sharing but an error keep popping up "5506"

    I tried to do a home sharing but erro "5506" keep popping up,. Please help

    I had the same problem, when switching over to iTunes 11. I downloaded the software through Apple Software Update, and when I tried opening the software, it popped up with an error message. The support forums suggest a complete uninstaall/reinstall, which I did. iTunes 11 now works without a single problem. Fair warning, tho: Back up all files pertaining to iTunes (music, videos, etc.) BEFORE uninstalling.

    trouble with my home sharing after apple tv up date

    Same here. iPhone, Mac Mini and Apple TV3 are all up to date. Logged in and out on each device and home sharing and airplay still don't work at all. Nothing shows up in the remote app. They're all on the same network and have been. The only thing I can think of is the most recent ATV firmware update, but why would my phone be unable to see my computer??
    Any secret commands to try?

  • TS2972 Home Sharing on Apple TV (2) drops out after about 2 minutes

    Home Sharing on Apple TV (2) drops out after playing iTunes music and photos for about 3 minutes. iTunes says Home Sharing is on, but the only way to get it going again is to turn off Home Sharing and sign in again to Home Sharing when it will work for another 3 or 4 minutes maximum. This happens with both computers on the network. Have turned the firewall off but it makes no difference. Any suggestions please
