Try restarting your Apple TV, router and computer, if the problem persists check if you have any security software or settings that might be blocking any of the ports that should be open.

I have just set up home sharing, but all that has come up on the new computer is all my individual tracks and not my playlists, also there are no sign of my audio books... Is this normal?? Any advice appreciated...
I'm sorry, but your sister, unless she had already turned on the "Find my iPhone" feature and the person who took the phone has not disabled it, is out of luck. She should report the theft to local police authorities, including the serial number of her iPhone. While her experience is unfortunate, there are good reasons why Apple cannot do anything else about it.
I hope she gets her phone back.
Best of luck. -
My version of iTunes on my new Mac Mini does not have any menu at the Store button other than some items refering to iPhones or Ipads, and then what you want to search for, such as books, etc. Where do you find the "authorize" info on this newer version of iTunes? Nothing copied and pasted in the previous helps looks anything like my iTunes store. I have an iPod full of music from my iTunes on my previous computer that I'd like to have on this one.
You are looking at the Store menu at the top of iTunes e.g.
On iTunes 11 you can also enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S so that it looks more like previous versions. -
Hi,
Just wondering how I can create a new account and password?
I've bought a second hand iMac from a dealer who hasn't fully erased the previous owner's user name and password. Therefore , I can't update or install any new password or update to Mountain Lion...
There is also no installation disc, so I don't seem to be able to reset the password that way.
I've just gone into the dos text :/root and wondered what I can do to create a new account and password without having to reinstall Snow Leopard?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Apple TV doesn't see iPhoto Library in Lion
After upgrading to Lion last night, my Apple TV can't find my photos any longer.
Apple TV sees the iTunes library and my music just fine.
But it says I should reconnect to the Photo Library (even though sharing in iTunes as well as iPhoto is on).
Funny thing is, the screen saver does show all the photos.
I just can't browse them.
Anybody else having problems accessing iPhoto from AppleTV in Lion?
Suggestions anyone?I am having similar problems. When I try to photo share between my two macs, iPhoto on my host machine crashes. Both machines are running Lion. Have not had much traction fixing this yet.
Why oh why do I upgrade my computers early? -

Cannot get home sharing to work with my new apple TV. Have the latest version of ITunes and the apple TV is connected to my wi-fi network. The instruction page says to go to the Advanced menu option of ITunes and choose Home Sharing. This option does not exist. The closest I can find is under the File option>Home Sharing where my only option is to turn off home sharing. There is no home sharing icon and Apple TV insist that the home sharing is not turned on.
I must be missing something obvious here.Cannot get home sharing to work with my new apple TV. Have the latest version of ITunes and the apple TV is connected to my wi-fi network.

I have an Apple TV 2nd Gen, iPad 2 and can't get the icon to appear when i swipe from left to right. What am I missing?
I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.
Also using IPad 2 I am able to get the ITunes to accept the user name and same password as the Mac.
However, the only way I can see the 'Home sharing; icon is in Music on the Ipad. When I tap on the Icon it asks for a password.
When I give the same password, it is rejected.
Help!!!!
JaxxdiggsPersonally I think the iOS devices are poor at reconnecting - Airplay establishes that a link is available but when the iPhone/iPad has been away from the house and rejoins the network i think AppleTV already thinks it's connected with a different IP address and fails to recognise it has joined the network again with new credentials.
Something along those lines anyway.
I find that a combination of restarting AppleTV, router and iOS device tends to fix it, but not for everyone.

My Apple TV (2) works fine with my iPad and iPhone.
My iTunes syncs with my iPad and iPhone.
I have turned "Home Sharing" off and on multiple times - of course using the same AppleID - and NOTHING shows up under Shared (and then Shared goes away) and NOTHING shows up under "Computers" on Apple TV?
Why aren't Apple TV and iTunes smart enought to work with each other on the same network? This should not be this difficult...I think I am having the same problem.
My issue: since updating the software on ATV, I get an issue where shortly after starting a movie or video of some sort streaming from iTunes on my iMac the vid stops and Apple TV tells me that I need to connect to my Home Sharing account. Sometimes I can fix it by turning Home Sharing off and back on in my settings. Sometimes I need to completely reboot the AppleTV!
Any suggestions??? -
I have Itunes 11 and home sharing isnt in the side bar
I have logged in my home sharing and used it before but when I updated to itunes 11 its no longer in the side bar.
and i found out how to make the side bar visible its just not there.Hi, emmyluvsmusiq.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I would verify that home sharing is enabled. You will need to access the menu bar which is hidden by default. To enable the menu bar, you can press Control-B. Once this is done, select File > Home Sharing > Turn On Home Sharing. Follow the same steps with the devices that are using this feature.

Apple TV 2, Home Sharing, WiFi and Ethernet Problem
Equipment:
- Three 2nd Generation Apple TVs
- AirPort Extreme
- MacMini running current version of iTunes
Problem/Situation:
I have a Mac Mini set up as a dedicated media server running the current version of iTunes via Home Sharing. I have three 2nd Generation Apple TVs in the house streaming media from this server. All three Apple TVs are up to date. The network router for the system is an AirPort Extreme. All software updates have been performed, and this is a long term problem (has existed for some time, did not just appear.)
Two of the Apple TVs connect flawlessly, but one of them is "quirky"
I have recently moved and as a result the configuration has changed a bit, the problem existed both before and after the move, and the two configurations may shed some light on the problem. In the old configuration the whole house had hardline ethernet available throughout the house, all connected to the AirPort Extreme. All of the Apple TVs worked fine except for the "quirky" one, which refused to connect to home sharing via an ethernet connection, but worked fine via a wifi connection (the other two Apple TVs worked via ethernet.) My solution was simple - unplug the ethernet cable and connect via WiFi.
However, in my new household there is currently no ethernet run, so all connections are via WiFi. As before the same two working Apple TVs connect just fine, but now the "quirky" Apple TV cannot connect to Home Sharing. I have reset the Apple TV to factory defaults, to no effect.
I have not yet run a test ethernet line to the Apple TV, but I theorize that it would work. My working theory is that the quirky Apple TV cannot be on the same type of network as either the server (since the problem exists even if the other Apple TVs are in sleep mode.)
So far I have not found any articles that are on point to this problem, and I don't think this is a known problem. I would love to find a solution to this problem that does not mean that I have to run a ethernet line through the house. Hopefully someone will have some insight to this issue.
Thanks,
Ken**** UPDATE ****
So this morning I decided to test my theory.
I connected the "quirky" Apple TV to the Airport Extreme via an Ethernet cable running down the hallway. The device was able to get an IP address, reach the outside world, but no joy on connecting to Home Sharing being served from a computer connected via wifi to the same router. (Hmm, theory fail - strike one.)
Next I decided to run this cable to a ethernet switch connected to the serving computer (with a self generated IP). This time the Apple TV could not see the outside world (as expected), but could still not see the Home Sharing network either. (Hmm, theory epic fail - strike two).
Considering my testing now complete, I disconnected the ethernet cable and allowed the Apple TV to once again connect to the WiFi network (the configuration I started the day with.) This time not only did the Apple TV connect to the outside world, but it found the Home Sharing network, and all worked well. (Swings, and connects to a long fly ball to deep center - stay tuned to see if it is a home run or something else.)
While the system is now working as I would like - I can not say that my confidence is high at this point because I did not really change anything - I simply stirred the pot.
Very bizzare! -
I have purchased tv shows on my I pad in I tunes yet they don't show on my iPad anywhere!i have tried syncing to my pc and they show and can be viewed in there.how can I get them to show on my iPad?i have turned on home sharing as well!
Where are you looking on your iPad for the shows? In iTunes? If so, look under Videos.
