I have lost access to itunes streaming on my apple tv

My apple tv says there is no content in my itunes library since I updated my apple tv software yesterday. I have been using it without any problems for months but cannot get it working now. Can anyone help?

Solved my own problem - Let's say you have your AppleTV set up with [email protected] as the Apple ID for the home share. Then all the iTunes libraries just need to use that same id. It has nothing to do with the apple id that owns the library. So go to each and every iTunes account and choose "Advanced->Turn Off Home Sharing". Then immediately choose "Advanced -> Turn On Home Sharing" and type in the Apple ID [email protected] and the password for [email protected]
Simple really. Apple do it again with 2nd Generation Apple TV - their stuff just works. Brilliant.

  • I have lost access to itunes and cannot reconnect so have lost my library.  Can anyone suggest a solution?

    iTunes became corrupted on my PC so had to unistall.  I now cannot re-install on the same PC.  I have installed iTunes on another PC but have no idea how to get my library back.  I am fairly computer illiterate so can anyone suggest something I can easily understand?  Thanks

    Hello, BAS100. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I would need more information regarding what errors you are receiving when attempting to install iTunes to better assist you.  However, here are a couple step by step troubleshooting guides that help with most iTunes installation issues.

  • Lost Access to iTunes Library

    Hi 
    I have lost access to my previous Itunes Library.... If this topic is already covered please point me to the thread as I searched under various Library posts and they are all either to do with backing up to an external HD, transferring to a new PC, restoring from an iPod or iPad, or repairing corrupted files....  but not how to recover from basic stupidity and operator error! I’m a beginner as you will see!
    I was trying to load some movies from my PC onto my iPhone4  to watch on vacation.... to free up space I first removed most of my music and Apps from the iPhone by unchecking the boxes and syncing to make room.... intending to restore them on my return.  Next I tried (but failed) to work out how or where to copy the movies from my PC to iTunes so as to be able to sync them to the phone. There was a Tab called “Films” but this only had some of my camcorder clips and I could not find how to load my movies into it. I mistakenly thought (I now realise) that I should try creating a new “Library” – which I would call “Movies” – to which I might be able to copy my movies to then sync to my iPhone.  I guess I was confused as to what a “Library” was.... !
    So I followed the instructions to create a new Library:  Shift key –  iTunes –  “Create New Library” – called it “Movies” and OK. It worked as when I now open iTunes the interface is called “Movies” - but of course it is empty.  However this is now the default Library that opens and I cannot find my previous iTunes library with my music, Apps and Playlists.  I looked in MyMusic and can see the new (empty) “Movies” Library listed....  and another under “iTunes/Previous iTunes Libraries” where there are 19 Libraries listed by date from 2006 onwards – the most recent being two months ago. When I open them they are all called “Movies” and the  Playlists are the default ones – not my personal ones.    I can see all my Apps listed separately under “Mobile Applications” so they are all still there.... I can see the .itl and .ixl files - but when I open them they are both showing the new empty Movies Library.
    So where has my previous and most recent Library ("John's Library") with all my old Playlists, Apps etc gone?  How can I find and restore it as the default Library that opens – instead of my new “Movies” one ? I tried Shift/open iTunes/Choose Library but it is not listed. (In my new (empty) “Movies” Library under Edit/Preferences/General I can see details for configuring “John’s Library” but no way to access the data)
    And – when I do -  what SHOULD I have done to get my movies onto my iPhone – and is it to “Films”?!!!! I have iTunes 10.6.1.7 on a PC with W7.
    Thanks!

    Double-clicking on an itl file simply opens the last library iTunes was opened with. To change back to your original library you need to use the shift-start-iTunes method, then browse to the correct folder and file.
    Under Edit > Preferences > General tab change your language from English UK to English US, then close and reopen iTunes, to have the sections of your library change to Movies and TV Shows instead of Films and TV Programmes. (That particular bit of localisation is a silly idea if you ask me.)

  • I have lost my previous itunes library and the content is no longer on my ipod touch.  How do I recover my previous itunes library?  I have already tried the backup but because the content was erased from my ipod that did not work.

    I have lost my previous itunes library content after atempting to sync my ipod.  Is there any way that apple can provide me with a history restore for an itunes library?

    if you have all the songs still on your ipod you can put them back on your computer from the ipod... just DONT LET ITUNES SYNC WITH YOU IPOD when you plug it back in. change the settings to manual control for syncing ipods or your itunes will delete all of them. i dont know what to do for the unchecked songs... i had a similar situation and i used a mac program to take the songs off of my ipod. hope this helps.. just google for an application that will let ya take songs off the ipod.

    I use to have a iTunes account with my old computer, and I have lost all my iTunes music, some purchased, some downloaded from another source.

    Now remove all your info and update the old AppleiD/iTunes account and use only that account.
    You cannot transfer items between iTunes accounts.
    You can redownload all the content.

    You can not merge accounts.
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

    Thanks Ann

    Do you have other mobile devices that can connect to your wifi with out issue?
    Try this:
    Reboot ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go. Then try to connect to network.
    Go to settings, Toggle airplane mode on/off. Make sure bluetooth is off. Turn on wif (airplane mode off). Try to connect.
    Reset Network Settings
    Go to settings/general/reset/reset network settings. Then try to connect to network.
    If its your home router, then reboot router by unplugging for 5-10min. (do this while you're resetting network settings).
    If problem persists, then check for firmware updates on your router.(you check router manufacturer support website for downloads and instructions).

  • Can I have more than one itunes account on my apple tv?

    Can I have more than one itunes account on my apple tv?  We have two accounts in our family and would like to be able to switch between them.

    Thank you.  What I was really trying to find out is if there is a limit on switching iTunes accounts - I have a vague memory of reading that changing from one iTunes store account to another was going to be limited in some way, but maybe this is on iTunes itself?  Or perhaps my memory is incorrect?   We have two iTunes accounts and swap back and forth regularly on our iPhones and iPads to buy and update apps without a problem.  I couldn't find any reference to it on a quick search yesterday so what I have done with the AppleTV is leave it set to one account, and we watched the other account content via my Macbook.

  • I have lost all my itunes data due to a cumputer crash how do i sync my iphone and ipad to itunes without starting all over agian

    Hi, I have lost all data from itunes on my computer, is there a way to re-sync or get all the data from my phone and ipad 2 back to itunes on the computer as when I go to sync message appears saying this phone is sync to a different itunes library and it will clear my phone if i continue. can any one help please?

    These devices will sync with one computer at a time.  When you sync to a new one, then it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
    Use your backup copy of your old computer to move everything over.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your devices.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You will need to enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer as well, otherwise that content will be erased as well.  If you have a unique entry, then you should get the option to merge the data.
    Hopefully you have your backup copy of your old computer and will not have to go through this.
