My apple tv is not working on the computer tab as it says to turn on homesharing and it is on

my apple tv says to turn on homesharing which it already is
i am unable to access the photos in the computer tab
any suggestions
thanks
i have restarted and returned on both computer and apple tv btw

After hours of trying to fix- finally found simple solution !
Go to the main computer(s) where you ahve your itunes program. This applies to PC Win7 in my case.
Upper left hand corner under 'File' See drop down menu where it says " Home Sharing'. If on turn it off , then go right back and turn it on- you will have to sign in with Apple ID and password.
Then -this is the solution.
Go to your My computer on your PC - hit button for it to shows all your drives. Click on your main drive - usually 'C". It will show all the stuff on that drive.
Find where your Itunes program is - usually under "programs" Once you find Itunes , right click to get drop down menu- at bottom is "Properties" right click. another small windows comes up - click tab for sharing . If it says not shard - you will see a blue highlighed  " Advanced Sharing" click that to folow instructions to enable sharing.
Do that for any program you want to share with Apple TV.
If they are not set to "Share" Apple Tv will not work for Home Sharing.
Once all programs involved with Ituenes etc are set to shared . Then go to Apple TV. back to Home Sharing and everything should show up.
Mine did and it was a simple fix.
Good Luck

    My APPLE ID is NOT working properly. I am frustrated beyond belief I have tried time and time again to change my apple ID and it keeps reverting back to my original ID!! I even set up a new email to try to submit a new id and it still does not work

    To change your Apple ID, follow these steps:
    Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), click "Manage your Apple ID", and sign in.
    If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID. If you are unable to receive messages at your trusted device, follow the guidelines for what to do if you can't sign in with two-step verification.
    In the "Apple ID and Primary Email Address section," click Edit.
    Enter the email address you want to use, then  click Save Changes. Apple will send a verification email to that  address.
    Open the  email  from Apple, then click Verify Now in the email.
    When the My Apple ID page opens, sign in with your renamed Apple ID.
    If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID.
    After you see a message indicating that verification is complete, remember to update all of the stores and services that you use with your  Apple ID.

  • When a pdf file is opened in a tab, the automatic scroll function from the pad does not work in the other tabs, but only for the particular PDF tab.

    The scroll function from the pad/mouse does not work for the other tabs when a PDF file is opened.

    Hi NSHS,
    Have you checked to see if your PDF add-on is up to date? You should take a look at the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] Knowledge Base article. There is a lot of good information in there. You should try both of the suggested PDF add-ons to see if that fixes the issue.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • My apple mouse is not working.  The pointer will not move on the screen and it keeps turning off.

    My apple mouse is not working.  I can get it to connect but it will not move the pointer.  Left and right click is working, scrolling, just cannot move the pointer.  Also, I have replaced the batteries (numerous times) but the green power light turns off after a few minutes.  Any suggestions?

    How about clean up LED hole of mouse?

  • Hello, I have a Dutch bought iMac but live in Sweden my ID will not allow me to shop in Itunes  and this confuses me, my iTunes is in Dutch, but my Swedish Itunes ID and Apple ID does not work in the Dutch store...only thing I wnat to do is to be able to

    Hello everybody,
    I bought my iMac in Holland in 2009 but I live in Sweden, I made an Apple id here and it works for the Apple Store, but it doesn't work with Itunes as I have my itunes in Dutch of course and am right away transferred to the Swedish iTunes and am told I can't buy music because I live in Sweden and am directed to itunes sweden on top of that I am not such a Swedish speaking or reading person and now I am stuck:(, I can't do anything with music and such, does anyone of you out there know how to solve this problem?
    It's a worldwide problem because as soon as a site knows your ipaddress it right away transfers you to the site in the country you live in, idiotic to my view, we have open borders, many people living in countries that they were not born in, many prefering to have their computers in their native language and then meet problems!
    Have a nice day/evening all:)

    Not just a language issue...
    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store. You can use the iTunes Store in all countries of which you’re a resident, but you’ll either need a separate iTunes Store account for each one, or you’ll need to continually be switching your billing information on your single account. Generally, it’s simpler just to set up an alternative account for these situations."

  • Changed Apple ID  is not working with the appstore

    I have 2 iPads. Upon updating to iOS 6 I've been experiencing the following problems:
    On iPad number 1: My Apple ID works from the settings menu, however when loading into the appstore, it keeps on asking me for a password of an old apple ID that I do not use anymore and I've got no idea how to change this.
    On iPad number 2: I moved over all of my apps from first iPad to my second one via the iCloud backup. However any apps purchased on my first iPad, i cannot make in-purchases for on the iPad number 2 as it says the Apple ID I purchased the app on is different from the one currently in use.
    Please could anyone help me?
    Many thanks!

    I have the exact same problem as "Jan Olsen 1"
    I sent them feedback:
    "I was given a $25 iTunes gift card. 
    When trying to log on to my account, my password didn't work (though I entered the correct password THREE TIMES). 
    I requested help changing the password through an e-mail. Went through the process, changed the password.
    I successfully logged on to my account and entered the gift card information and was given a $25 credit.
    When I tried to buy mp3s, I was asked to enter my password - AGAIN. 
    I got one of the following messages each time I tried to enter my NEW password:
    'We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (5002).
    There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later.'
    or
    'Verification is required.
    You must enter your AppleID and password, click Billing Info, and verify your payment information in order to make purchases.
    The Apple ID you entered couldn't be found or your password was incorrect. Please try again.'
    Don't know where to go from here."
    And then, just to log on to this forum, I had to enter my AppleID TWICE! Once, then again to verify my AppleID!
    Ridiculous! Frustrating!

  • TS1559 Apple resolution does not work on the 4s.  What is my next step?

    The Apple resolution for a greyed out WiFi option did not work.  Any help on what to try next?

    Bryce if you restored as a new phone and that did not correct the problem then you have done as nuch as you reasonably can, You most likely have a hardware problem. If your phone is still under waranty you can apply to have it repaired or replaced  - contact Applecare support at 1-800- MYIPHON - if phone is out of warranty they will offer replacement at $199.

    Can someone help me with my iMac track pad?  My computer has been off for 10 days and when I turned it on the curser will not move.  The green light on the track pad would come on then off so i replaced the batteries in the track pad but it still does not work.  Not sure if the grandchildren were on it over the holidays could something be locked on the keyboard?

  • Appraisals EHP4 - multiple reference objects not working in the same TAB

    Dear SAP Experts,
    I am working on MBO Performance Mgmt EHP4. I have created an appraisal template and testing this in MSS.
    Now the structure of the template has a VB object called u201CMy Developmentu201D.
    Within this VB Object I have created two other VB objects in the following order called
    u201CSuccess Profilesu201D and
    u201CAdditional Areas of Developmentu201D
    The business requirement is to
    a)     within success profiles have the requirements of the position of the appraisee to be defaulted
    b)     then have the ability for the Manager to select one of the requirements and select the ADD functionality to add another element which has 4 customs columns to then be completed by the Manager
    c)     Within u201CAdditional Areas of Development, the Manager needs to be able to have an ADD button to create the 5 custom columns to be completed by the Manager.
    The good newsu2026u2026..I have created the structure ok, with custom columns and have used fixed enhancement for defaulting the requirements of the appraiseeu2019s position and then having the reference object to each one of these requirements to then create 4 additional fields when the Manger selects the ADD button next to each requirement.
    I have also used a separate set of reference objects to have an ADD button against the VB object u201CAdditional Areas of Developmentu201D which is in the sequence after the VB object Success Profiles, then this will allow the creation of the 5 columns ok and works fine.
    I have also used the reference object for the Success Profiles which would expect to  show the ADD function to add the new element with 4 fields. Also the ADD function for the u201CAdditional Areas of Developmentu201D appears.
    I have created the config to display the My Development as a tab and have both the u201CSuccess Profilesu201D and the u201CAdditional Areas of Developmentu201D within this tab.
    The bad newsu2026.. When I select the ADD button against the VB object u201CSuccess Profilesu201D nothing happensu2026u2026u2026
    The defaulting of the requirements of the appraiseeu2019s position into the appraisal document under the Success profiles ONLY works if the VB object u201CAdditional Areas of Developmentu201D is DELETED from the appraisal document.
    However, when I delete the VB object u201CAdditional Areas of Developmentu201D the ADD of the VB object for Success Profile now works
    So it only seems to work if I delete the u201CAdditional Areas of Developmentu201D VB in the document which seems wrong to me.
    Please can someone advise
    Thanks

  • My sound is not working with the computer speakers and with headphones, help?!

    my sound is not working with my headphones or the the computer speakers

    You indicate you have a "brand new Air", you have a 14 day exchange, and the warranty of which you paid for regarding genius bar in-shop diagnostics (and repair if necessary)
    What year model Air do you have?
    On the first question,....are the headphones attached when you have your Air in sleep?
    If yes, then refrain from having phones attached when you close the monitor to prevent this until it is resolved
    resolution as to same yet, no.

  • IMessage is not working between the computer and the iPhone 4S?

  • I have an iPhone 5 and the new-style proper apple earphones will not work in it. Other cheaper earphones will but they are awful, and I have tried the apple ones in other phones and apple devices and they work fine as earphones, so why not in my iPhone?

    so basically the official apple headphones work in other iPads, iPhones and computers but they won't work in my iPhone 5. So does this mean there is an issue with my jack? But why do any other alternative earphones work and it's just the apple ones which don't? I'm a little confused and really I'd like the proper ones to work because they produce the best quality sound. Help please!

    Could be a contact problem. There are certain places inside the headset port where proper contact is needed for the various functions the Apple headset has, for example the Remote/microphone unit that cheaper headphones don't have.
    You should have your phone checked by an Authorized Apple Service provider or by visiting an Apple Store next to your place.
