No Home Sharing after latest ATV2 update?

I've been having incredibly annoying problems with Home Sharing for some time - ATV2 ethernet to wireless modem, iMac (latest version of Snow Leopard) connected to both via wireless.  If I start both up from sleep, I generally have to quit iTunes on the iMac in order to start Home Sharing on the ATV2; and then every now and again I'll get kicked off in the middle of a playlist, and have to turn off and on Home Sharing and restart iTunes in order to re-establish connection.  I spoke with Apple Tech Support before my 3-month period ran out; they recommended checking for some specific ports on the router, which I did, but in the end that made no difference at all.
Now after the latest update, the ATV2 won't connect to my iTunes library at all.  It says "xxx's Library" on the main screen as thought it "recognizes" it, but no recently-played albums will appear on the top of the screen.  However when I click on my Library, I just get a spinning wheel for 30 seconds and then it kicks me back out to the main screen.
I've logged out and in of my Apple account on both devices, restarted both, & etc.  Nothing.  What gives?  This is incredibly annoying.
Thanks.

I too have the same problem.  Cannot log into Home Sharing.  Cannot log into iTunes.  I have done the things suggested by others in another thread.  Reset router, reset switch, rebooted computer with shared iTunes.  Nothing works.  I have three ATV2's and two have this issue.  So far, the other does not.  There is no rhyme or reason.  I have also reset and restored the ATV to no avail.
I was able to stream to the ATV via airplay.  Go figure...
Might try that...

    can't sign in in to iTunes (home sharing) after reset and update apple tv3 

    I'm experiencing the exact same thing. Netflix, Youtube and everything else works perfectly, but I'm unable to wirelessly stream anything from my Mac, iPad, or iPhone. All on same wireless channel, all new updates, all have home sharing turned on. Never had a problem the last 2 years.

  • Trouble with home sharing after apple tv update

    trouble with my home sharing after apple tv up date

    Same here. iPhone, Mac Mini and Apple TV3 are all up to date. Logged in and out on each device and home sharing and airplay still don't work at all. Nothing shows up in the remote app. They're all on the same network and have been. The only thing I can think of is the most recent ATV firmware update, but why would my phone be unable to see my computer??
    Any secret commands to try?

  • Why has my apple tv stopped home sharing after the recent update

    My whole network was fine until I updated my ATV last week. After this update the homesharing 'library' stops being visible from my pc after 3 minutes. Ive disabled the wireless and used Ethernet instead but with the same results. I have a BT home hub 3 and have reset the router but with no joy .... Please help !

    Try power cycling the ATV.
    If the issue persists, try providing some more details of the issue such as what video, all, specific apps, etc.

  • Home Sharing After iTunes Update to 11.1.5.5 - HELP!

    I am unable to enable Home Sharing after updating to iTunes 11.1.5.5.
    I've updated my Apple TV (3rd Gen) along with iTunes 11.1.5.5, restarted all my devices (iPad Air with iOS 7.0.6, iPhone 5 with iOS 7.0.6, Apple TV 3rd Gen and Windows 7 64bit PC), restarted my cable modem and router, logged out of iTunes Home Sharing, then back in, restarted my PC AGAIN and verified that all my devices are on the exact same network. My firewall settings are completly unchanged since prior to updating to iTunes 11.1.5.5 and I've verified this. I've also even tried switching all devices to the other network band on my router and switched them all back to no avail.
    This has become so cumbesome with Apple every time there is an update, I crindge every time I see one available. Someone at Apple needs to WORK THIS BUG OUT!!! Or, Chormecast will be my new friend!! I thought Android devices were buggy, but I'm having second thoughts as I've NEVER had this much trouble with such a simple networking concept. iTunes Home Sharing has seriously become a complete mess!!
    Any advice here???? All I want to do is watch my movie!!!
    My Setup:
    iPad Air WiFi 32GB, iOS 7.0.6
    iPhone 5 64GB iOS 7.0.6
    Apple TV 3rd Generation (connected to wireless router via WiFi)
    Windows 7 64bit PC (connected to wireless router via ethernet CAT5)
    NetGear WDNR 4500v2 N900 Dual Band Wireless Router (Verified all devices logged into the same network)

  • ITunes won't open after latest OSX update

    AFter latest OSX update iTunes won't open.  Reinstalled iTunes.  Reinstalled OSX update.  When I click on icon in applications or in finder nothing happens.

    This is what worked for me and others--original post found on this thread: Yosemite slow opening and cannot open itunes
    This solved my question by Linc Davis.......
    According to multiple reports on this site, Apple Support has given the following instructions to others who had a similar problem. I can't confirm that this procedure works or that it's necessary, but it won't leave you any worse off than you are now.
    First, back up all data.
    Select the iTunes icon in the Applications folder and open the Info window. Click the padlock icon in the lower right corner to unlock the settings.
    In the Sharing & Permissions section, change the Privilege setting for each Name in the list to Read & Write. Close the window. If the settings aren't visible, click the disclosure triangle on the left so that it points down.
    You should now be able to drag the iTunes application to the Trash and empty. Your iTunes data won't be affected.
    Click the iTunes link at the top of this page, download the installer package and run it.
    If iTunes still doesn't launch, or if you can't complete the procedure, reinstall the OS.

  • Safari can't connect after latest Lion update

    Just updated my software and now safari can't connect to websites. It connects for a bit then after awhile it will no longer connect. Firefox and Chrome are connecting fine so this is a safari only issue with the latest update.
    Safari Version 5.1.5 (7534.55.3)
    Quiting safari and restarting works for a little while then eventually 'can't connect to server' eventually appears. I'm going back to firefox until this is resolved.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down. 
    Press the power button. 
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone. 
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
    Hi I have the same sort of problems I carried out the two tests and the problem appears to only be in my profile not in guest profile. Is there a cure?

    I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
    By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
    Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

  • Iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done all trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail.

    iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done recommendedl trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail. Can I go back to earlier version of itunes or restore computer to fix?

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

    After latest security update my MacBook is not finding any network and I think is not really turning wifi on. Has anyone encountered similar problem?

    Checked the older discussion of the same type and found solution, well kind of... Thanks to other people who tried it, I just cannot remember their names at the moment. So, the solution for me was to turn off the firewall in the system preferences and suddenly lo and behold there was my network.

    In over three years, I have yet to have a problem or meet someone who has.
    Most never have an issue.
    As this is a support forum, designed for those with issues, of course you will see problems here ( many self inflicted). If you visit a hospital, you are likely to see many sick people, even though most are not sick.
    It is really up to you, but most users never have an issue.
