I have to restart/reboot in order to reconnect with Home Sharing every time. Is this normal?

When I originally bought the Apple TV (2nd generation) a while back, it always maintained good connectivity to Home Sharing. For a while, I've had to go into General and select Restart every time I wanted to use Home Sharing, otherwise Apple TV would not connect. Today, the Apple TV would not connect to the WiFi network at all. After restarting and rebooting several times, the Apple TV finally reconnected is currently working.
My logical guess is that the WiFi antenna on the Apple TV may be going out. I have used it a lot. Anyone have any tips?

This will most likely help a bunch.....it did a complete fix for me. Follow it step-by-step.
1.   Open "System Preferences".   ( computer only), (Windows computer unknown)
2.   Open "Network".
3.   Click on the "Sprocket with down arrow".
4.   Select "Make Service Order"
5.   Move the connection your using (Wifi, Ethernet, etc.) to the top, and click Apply.
6.   If you selected Ethernet, then turn OFF Wifi in the top menu.
7.   Shut DOWN your computer and then restart after completely shutting down.
7a. Either restart or unplug and plug in the Apple TV (insure your logged into Home Share after restart).
7b. Start iTunes (insure your logged into Home Share).
Enjoy life again!

Having to restart Home Sharing every time......

Every time I switch inputs to my Apple TV3 I have to go and turn off and then on Home Sharing in order to access my library. Restarting the ATV does not work. Sometimes it shows songs / movies but they will not play. I just get a spinning circle..... My ATV is wired to a Netgear R6300 AC router and my computer (windows 8) is wired to a WD AC Bridge. My computer is set to never sleep and iTunes is open. Anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas?

I think I have isolated it to the Western Digital AC Bridge..... Bypassed it last night and used the wireless on the computer and Apple TV worked fine this morning. No retarting Home Sharing so now I have to figure out what is timing out the bridge...... Message in to WD support.

Why do I have to restart iTunes on my iMac to get Home Sharing to work again on my ATV2 and ATV3?

Last week I ordered two more Apple TVs 3rd generation. I have connected them to my network and the ATV2 that I had, seems to be working differently. I have to restart my iTunes on my iMac to get Home Sharing to work again. I go to Apple Support and reference this page (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972) and it seems to be the only solution, reset iTunes.
I currently have all apple products from end to end. This doesn't seem to be working out as seamless as it should. Any suggestions?

Until Apple gets off their butts to fix this, you can do this. Create a workflow that 1. Closes iTunes, 2. Pauses 10 seconds, 3. Opens iTunes. Then Save it as an Application.
Then...
Create an Apple Script by "recording yourself" launching your new workflow. Save that Apple Script.
Finally..
Go into Mail, and create a Rule that when you receive an email with the subject as "Restart iTunes" it will run your Apple Script (wchich launches your workflow app).
Just send yourself an email from you chair!!! :-) Please reply if this works for you. It works GREAT for me on Mountain Lion!
Enjoy!

Did the Firefox installation finish without problems?
You can check:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I have a problem regarding sales order line item with confimed quanity

Hi Experts,
I have a problem regarding sales order line item with confimed quanity with '0' with delivery block but confirming the sales order quantity once the order is released from credit check.
The situation arises as per the below scenarios.
Scenario - 1 - When the sales order has two line item - one line item with confirmed qunaity in the schedule line and for the 2nd line item there is no available stock for the Material xxxxxx.
Initially the sales order is created for the line item 2 with confirmed quantity = 0, and having the delivery block = 01 for the Material xxxxxx and the order is set with credit check. Once the order is relased from the credit check. The quanity for the item 2 where the confirmed quantity will be = 0 ( Where it is not changing the confirmed quantity)
Scenario -2- Updating the order qunaity for the line item 2 as (9Pcs) it will goes to credit check and save the order.
Maintain the stock for the line item 2 ( 5 Pcs).
Once the order is released from the credit check. Then for the line item 2 the confirm quanity will be seting to 5 Pcs with Delivery blcok 01.
This should not happen, When the credit check is released even though if it has stock based on the delivery blockl it should set the confirmed quanity to Zero.
Can you please help me how to solve this issue.
Looking forward for your reply.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
I agree with your point. In the sales order When the complete delivery check box is enabled where the confimed qty is set to zero, it is fine but when we save the orderr it goes to credit check. Once we release the order using VKM3 where in the sales order the confimed quantity is setting to 5, But it should set to Zero quantity. Quatity should not be get confirmed it should be Zero Quantity.
Further in SPRO - customizing in the deliveries blocking reasons - It has a tick mark in the confirmation blcok. But we dont want to remove the - Confirmation Block tick mark
Please any one can help me if you have any solution to solve this problem.
Thanks and Regards.

I have a mac book pro running Lion 10.7.4 and every time I use Google Earth The computer crashes by lowering a black curtain and then asking me to hold the power button down until it closes and press the power button again to restart it. Can I fix this?

I have a mac book pro running Lion 10.7.4 and every time I use Google Earth The computer crashes by lowering a black curtain and then asking me to hold the power button down until it closes and press the power button again to restart it. Can I fix this? It bugs me when I'm looking at real estate.

I really don't have an answer for that one. I guess that while trying to get things working correctly, I would use the most basic monitor I had which in your case would be the Eizon using the Thunderbolt port and adaptor.
When you boot into Safe Mode the startup is quite slow, but you should get the Apple logo and then the spinning gear below it (release the SHIFT key when it appears.) Then after a little more time you should see a gray progress bar appear below the spinning gear. When that disappears the computer will startup to a login screen.

Help Problem NOT Solved Why have my system preferences suddenly started to reset back to default every time I reboot

Why have my system preferences suddenly started to reset back to default every time I reboot At first I thought it was happening because I disconnected my Google account, but now I've disable that account and switched to Firefox. I wasn't sure how my browser setting could have anything to do with my system preferences and now I think it's some glitch or missed setting that is causing the problem. Oh & I locked my preference panel and that did not help.
In addition to what I say above, not only are all my system preferences being reset to default, but also the preferences for word and Excel. I'm sure it's affecting other programs, but Word & Excel are the main ones that I have a lot of custom setting for. Especially annoying is the fact that my ribbon commands are reset. All this started happening when I signed up for a Google Drive account. The only system updates have been the usual security updates. I deleted my Google account but haven't uninstalled it. I'll try this, but I can't figure out how that would result in all OS preferences being reset.

My play lists and songs on iTunes and on my iPhone won't play. They are light grey instead of black and nothing happens when I click on the songs. All of the songs were either from CD's or from iTunes that I purchased. I have home sharing turned on. This is a new issue. It used to work fine. I tried restarting my iPhone and syncing with iTunes. Neither worked. Please help!

Try delete those songs using iTunes by de-selecting and sync. After that mark those songs and sync again.

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

You need iTunes 11.1 which is not available for download in google chrome or other browsers. The only browser it has worked for with me is Safari. Hope this helps!
