My apple tv home share is slow

My streaming from my computer to my Apple TV has slowed down considerabally and is almost unuseable. This behavior is new. I tried resetting without luck.

Have you tried a restore? Rebooting router?

Why won't Apple TV Home Share with my iMac?

Why won't Apple TV Home Share with my iMac? I have no problem Home Sharing with MacBook Pro. I have set up all Sharing settings on my iMac exactly the same as my MacBook Pro. The operating system on my iMac and MacBook Pro is the same (OS X Mountain Lion - 10.8.4).

shared lib was around long before appletvs
in the form of computers on the same network being able to access eachothers shared lib in itunes
if you can do that from your macbook pro as in access the shared lib of the imac
then the problem is with the appletv somehow
if you also can't access the shared lib of the imac from the macbook then you setup something wrong
or have a firewall blocking it or are not on the same network with the 2 devices
if the later when you fix the shared lib between computers chances are if will also be fixed from the appletv

Can different apple IDs home share and share i tunes/app purchases?

Can different apple IDs in a household home share on the devices and share i tunes/app purchases?

Thanks for the reverse thinking Winston, but the thing is my original apple ID is really old, and correspond to an email service provider I no longer trust in terms of stability, availability of the service or which ever other expression you might want to link to reliability.
This is why when I created my iCloud profile and started using multiple OS and OSX devices I decided to have a different ID. One that will help me take advantage of the Cloud benefits, Apple TV, email sync, iTunes Match and everything else.
Apple support told me there will be no problem setting my iCloud ID as my primary; only that the original would remain associated to the store and the credit card.
(BTW; Let’s just remember apple IDs cannot be merged)
The problem now, however, is that somehow everything has gotten mixed between devices. Until the moment I am writing here and at the same time, I am carrying some instructions from another forum:
- In all of your devices:
Sign out from iCloud
Sign out from iTunes
Sign in to iCloud with your preferred apple ID
Sign in to iTunes with your original (credit card related) apple ID
All of your movies, photos, music and so on, should look the same in all devices.
I hope this helps someone.
Cheers!!!

Apple TV home share never works

Both of my Apple Tv's loose connection on occation. My recurring problem which has became worse is home sharing. It's so bad with Itunes 11!! Everytime I want to use the apple tv it seems like everytime I have to restart it and itunes. Anybody else having these issues?

Home sharing has never worked for me since updating to the latest iTunes and Apple TV software. It also rarely worked before, that's why I updated in the first place.
I have an Apple TV 2nd generation, updated to the latest version. I have iTunes on a Windows 7 desktop PC and updated to the latest version. Both are connected to the Internet via an ethernet connection. I wired the connection to the Apple TV after people said it was more reliable, but that is not the case for me unfortunately. Sharing works flawlessly from the same PC to both iPhones in the house as well as an iPad, but not the Apple TV.
It is very puzzling how this basic feature has been so difficult to implement with the Apple TV. Anyone have a Roku, does it have a similar feature that actually works as advertised?

Apple tv home share issues

I have 2 AP2. One sees my library and the other doesn't even though I have logged in with the proper particulars. Is the Appletv defective or should I do something? I've resetted but not restored. (ethernet)
thanks

Well,
I suddenly saw the Airplay icon today. It shows up when I am connected to the main router ( I forgot to mention that all my devices are connected to a router via an access point). So when connecting Apple TV to the default gateway (main router) and iPhone to the access point (or vice versa), I can use Airplay and Mirroring. I do not know WHY??
Can any one tell.
Does it happen that Access point close some of the ports opened by the main router?

Can not get home share to work even after a session with Apple genius in store..!!!!

I'm using ipad2, iPhone 4s and iTunes is running on my HP laptop. All three have home share turn on and are signed in as they should. The iPad and iPhone show my iTunes account but there is nothing behind it. I spent ten minutes with the Apple genius in store and he checked all the settings were correct, which they were. My two apple devices are finding the account ok as the library name appears in the shared file.
I have followed a link the genius sent me to fully uninstall iTunes and then re-install the latest version from scratch. This has made no change at all apart from taking me three hours to back up my account incase it was whipped.
I'm out of ideas, can anyone suggest we're I'm going wrong..???

I received a complaint that my last post was not so clear and I have updated this post here.
I have now configured Thunderbird and after help with setting up by my provider Yahoo/ Xtra. Thank you for your telephone help of 3 hours from Philippines today Yahoo/ Xtra. It all works fine now with Thunderbird.
I now receive and can send E-mails from and for all 10 sub accounts.Today I received an Apple survey message to valuate my experiences.The case number that was given and is not solved at all is
136901000 The very good Apple technicians name is SHIVARAM.It is not his fault that the issue could not be solved.A shame the Apple survey indicated there would not be any follow up of the issue.!!! I just had to phone again!!!
It shows the arrogance that has entered the Apple organization.
Imagine how many people are loosing time with this issue in my case about 2 days!!! Just after installation of a product they call Snow Leopard I payed 59 $ for !!! It should actually have been called Slow Leopard ! only one letter different.!!! Just as my computer only one program failing!!!
Apple version 4.0 E-mail Program.See how they are going to fix this!!!!
So New Zealand needs to talk to India-Phillipines-to get his 59$ purchased program working.!
Ridicules 6 hours now yes it is all for free 0800 numbers .Still.!!! In Europe companies let the clients pay!!

IPad & iPhone not showing correct Home Share (Apple TV is!)

I have setup Home Sharing in iTunes and have enable it across iPad & iPhone and they are both using the correct Apple ID
The problem I have is that my Movies and TV Shows that I have recently added are not showing up on the Home Share on iPad or iPhone.
The Home Share is setup for Apple TV and everthing is fine.
I have:
Disabled Home Share and re-enabled it
Restarted iTunes several times.
I have deleted one file that was visable on iPad and that now no longer appears - So there is a connection but I'm not sure where the iPad is looking?
On iPad I have two different TV Shows displayed but multipe copies of them are showing: See image: When
Eg, Series 1 Episode 1-10 are showing 5 times if not more
I have now reset my iPad and the issue still exists.
Any idea's appreciated.
Thanks
Steven

Hi,
sure i can. The automatic correction is an enemie to me.
My last sentence based on the menu from iTunes->File->Library->Oraganize Library.
More Details:
1. Make a screenshot from your iPhone or iPad with the duplicates
2. Click in iTunes on your pc in the tv shows section an choose the duplicate tv shows.
3. Right click-> Show in finder
4. Copy the file to an external hard drive
5. Delete the entry in iTunes
Repeat that with all duplicated tv shows
6. Choose in the menu file-library-organize library.
7. Close iTunes and reopening it
8. Check on your iPhone or iPad if u have some duplicated shows.
9. Copy the removed tv shows back in the library. But only one by one
10. Testing after ever tv show if the are duplicated.
That's all.
Hope it works for you.
Best wishes

HT3819 Home Share issue: I have a Mac and Apple TV. Both are log into the same Wifi network and the same iTunes account (I can view purchased movies on AppleTV). Home Sharing shows 'ON' for both devices. BUT...AppleTV shows no computers. Itunes sidebar-no

Has anyone else found solution to Apple devices not 'seeing' each other on Home Share? I have a Macbook Air (new Nov'12) and Apple TV (new Dec'12). Software updated on both. Both are logged into the same Wifi network and the same iTunes account (I can view movies purchased from iTunes on my AppleTV). Home Sharing shows 'ON' for both devices. BUT...AppleTV shows no computers... and ... Itunes sidebar does not have a 'Shared' area at all. Help please as without this functionality, my Apple TV only provides portal to purchased (i.e. Netflix,...) content which I can get from Wii or Xbox.
I have already tried the following without success:
1. Homeshare DID work the first day after I setup Apple TV... but the next day it has not worked since then.
2. Powered off 30 sec then re-started (Apple TV & Macbook & iTunes login)
3. Checked Firewall settings per Home Sharing troubleshooting guide (correct settings)
4. Turning on Photostream in iPhoto and selecting iPhoto within iTunes and then checking to see if Photostream shows anything on AppleTV (it shows 'on' for my iTunes account but 'Zero' pictures found ... despite the >3,000 pictures showing avail in iTunes).
I also have 'Remote" app on my iPhone 4, with Home Sharing turned on (same Wifi network)... it has a very similar message as the Apple TV and same result that despite all devices having HomeShare 'on' they cannot see each other: "Remote will automatically find the iTunes libraries and Apple TVs that have Home Sharing turned on using the account xxxx (it lists my correct itunes account name)."

I solved this by reset of the Wifi (unplug cable and power to both modem and wifi ... wait 60 sec ... plug in modem cable and power ... plug in wifi power and LAN to modem ... restart AppleTV and Mac ... Turn Home Share 'OFF' in iTunes then back "ON" ... it took ~60 sec for the AppleTV to pick up my Mac in computers.

ITunes 11 Stops Responding to Bonjour Discovery Multicast Broadcasts, Why? This stops the the Apple TV 3 from being able to start a new stream from the home share and the iPad remote app can no longer see the home share too.

I'm having an issue where my Apple TV 3 and all our iPads periodically seem to loose connectivity to an iTunes home share on a Windows 7 PC. Using a network protocol analyser on the PC I have identified that the point of failure corresponds to the ATV3 sending a bonjour discovery request and getting no reply from iTunes. Why the ATV3 'forgets' where the home share is is possibly another issue but the root cause of the failure is that iTunes, or more specifically the mDNSResponder service, is not responding to the UDP multicast port 5353 broadcast discovery packet sent by the ATV3 or iPad. The mDNSResponder service does start responding again after iTunes is restarted thus making the home share accessible once more, however, this frequent drop out is unacceptable and often happens after only a single TV show has been watched from the home share making the solution unworkable for a family, we simply cannot be restarting iTunes constantly it ruins the user experience completely!
The nature of this failure indicates that the ATV3, the iPads, the host PC and network are all working correctly and the point of failure here is the lack of response to the bonjour discovery protocol with the net result of either a spinning 'connecting to home share' message or the home share just disappearing from the computers section.
If there is a configuration fix for this please let me know as I haven't located a fix! Otherwise this seems very much to be a code flaw in iTunes 11 or the mDNSResponder and I would appreciate some input from Apple! Going on other questions in these forums it would seem the problem is not limited to Windows PCs but also Macs too. NB: This is not a TCP issue, when the ATV3 or iPad knows the IP of the iTunes server all works flawlessly, it just periodically they seem to refresh the list of home shares and at this point they loose the information about the home share they have just been using because of the non-response to the UDP multicast discovery broadcast packet, that is arriving at the host PC and isn't being blocked by the firewall.
Many Thanks!

In my case there was no import from a former mac.
My problem (at least mine) is that no app that offers media sharing works properly. Neither itunes home sharing nor AirVideo nor EyeTV sharing.
So I'm pretty sure that this is network issue.
Adding another user on my mac and sharing a new library works not also. But sharing from another laptop in my WiFi works. So this has to be a network issue on my mac, not only my user, but an issue of the whole system.
But I'm not willing to reinstall MacOS X for that if I don't have to.

TS2972 What is the point of Home Share if all devices must have the same Apple ID? Three family members in this home would like to use the facility but all have different Apple IDs.

Three family members use ITunes and would like to use Home Share but the HOme Share set-up guidance states that all devices must use the same Apple ID.
Is there a workaround for this impasse?

HT2688 I have an Apple Id for my Itunes, and my children have a different Apple ID for theirs. To home share, do I need to change one of the IDs for ITunes, or can we simply have a common Apple ID just for home sharing? Thanks.

I think the title says it all. We have different Apple IDs on two computers for two users. To home share, is it necessary to change one of the Apple IDs to match the other, or can this be done just for purposes of home sharing -- i.e., select one Apple ID as the common ID just for purposes of home sharing.
Thanks,
Eric

Personally, I'd keep it simple and keep the same one.

HT3819 If I have to load the same apple id on all devices to use home share, does that preclude each device from using a second apple id and does that constitute a separate Itunes db or something?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Only one of your libraries needs to use your iTunes Store Apple ID for home sharing. Your other computers can use their own ID for iTunes, so long as they use the same ID as all of the devices on the network for home sharing.

HT4363 I have 2 iMacs with the home share activated using the same account ID and password, but only 1 computer at a time will show up on the main Apple TV "computers" menu. Can I have more than 1 computer sharing?

Will ALL computer's home sharing show up on the "computer's" main menu on the Apple TV screen, and if so, can I switch between computers while they are using the "home share" feature?

This should not be a problem, I have a mix of Apple & PC libraries on the ATV.
Looks like you have another issue going on there, perhaps one of your computers is going to sleep or something.

How to do Home Share with 2 different Apple ID's? Spouse and I

How do I set up the Home Share when there are 2 different Apple ID's? Spouse and I. We each have accounts but are trying to share music. Is this possible? Can I reset my Apple ID and Password?

Hello HopeFloat12,
Thanks for the question. Depending on the circumstances, and what you wish to achieve, there are a couple of options:
A) Home Sharing
B) Music Sharing
C) iTunes Match (Subscription $24.99/yr)
The following article outlines the differences between Home Sharing and Music Sharing, I have also included a link to the marketing page for iTunes Match:
