No Home Sharing with ATV3

I don't know what I could be doing wrong.
I am signed into iTunes with the only account I have,and home sharing is checked without password.
When I select "computers" on my ATV3 it says to turn on Home Sharing in iTunes using (my user) which I have.
I have also just did the latest update.
Am I missing something?

In another thread, I found the answer.
In the iTunes advanced menu, I needed to turn on Home Sharing.
I had thought I had turned it on with iTunes Preferences, but that was not it.
Apple could have made that a little clearer.
Thanks for your help.

  • Can Someone Help With Home Sharing With ATV3?

    I can't get home sharing to work with my new ATV3.  When I go to the Computers menu in my ATV3, nothing appears but the message telling me that all devices using the same Apple ID will be automatically located.  I have followed all of the configuration instructions and troubleshooting from the Apple help guides.
    iTunes is running on my PC
    I have turned on home sharing in iTunes and am sharing my entire library
    I have connfigured TCP ports 123 & 3689 to be open in my router and firewall
    I have configured UDP ports 123 & 5353 to be open in my router and firewall
    I tried disabling IPV6

    I am running iTunes 11
    ATV software is current version
    ATV connects to WiFi fine
    ATV connects to the iTunes store and streams Netflix fine
    My PC is Windows 8 64 bit
    Home sharing to my iPhone 5 works fine
    I have searched on the internet and this seems to be a common problem with ATV.
    Help anyone?
    Thanks.

    I've already check the http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2972 and it doesn't help. I did have a similure problem 7-8 months ago and for 2 months Apple techs asked to share my password, and then gave up and reset my iMatch. I didn't have iMatch for 2 months. I wonder if this is the same problem. That time my iPhone was ok it was my Macbook Pros who didn't share.

    How do I use Home Sharing with two different apple accounts?

    Morning Saintine,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Home Sharing enables you to stream or transfer music, movies, TV shows, apps, and more among up to five authorized computers in your household. To do so, you will need to Turn on Home Sharing on each computer using the same Apple ID.

  • HT202213 Trying to activate home sharing with new iTunes update, says error #5506, any ideas?  Worked great before this update!

    I'm trying to use home sharing with the latest iTunes update.  Keep getting error message 5506-any idea how to resolve this error and share at home?

    Well, I tried a few other things and one worked but again just the first time I tried connecting to the desktop PC with iTunes. I flashed my router with the latest update and the ATV2 could see the iTunes library and I was able to play media. Later in the day I was going to show off to my daughter that I had fixed it and, to my dismay, no go. I tried opening the suggested ports but no luck.
    I then tried loading iTunes on a Win7 laptop and it works perfectly with the ATV2. Both the laptop and the ATV2 are connected to the router wirelessly while the Desktop is connected to the router by Ethernet. Not sure if this is part of the issue as it sounds like this didn't work for others. The only other difference between the laptop and desktop is that the desktop has Win7 SP1 loaded while the laptop does not; now I'm scarred to load it though I don't think that's the issue. All in all, a very vexing situation. Hopefully Apple comes up with a solution soon.

  • HT4557 Can I use Home Sharing with only another person's iPad but with out the other person's computer?

    Would like to share music with someone.  Currently the computer registered with the iPad is out of commission.  But since you can pretty much do everything on the iPad another computer was not purchased.  How can I utilize home sharing with out two computers?

    You don't.  Otherwise they would have called it Device sharing.

  • Internet connection drops when I use Home Sharing with my iPod Touch

    Hi,
    I have two PCs (Windows 7 and Windows Vista) both with iTunes 10.2.1 and an iPod Touch with iOS 4.3.1.
    When I use iTunes' Home Sharing with my iPod Touch, that is, I stream music, podcasts, etc from either one of my PC computers to my iPod Touch, a few minutes later both laptops, as well as my iPod Touch, lose Internet connectivity. While home sharing continues, Internet connection is lost. I have to unplug my modem and wireless router to get back my Internet connection. The problem, however, recurs again and again.
    Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.
    Dave

    I am having the same problem. My MacBook, iPad, iPhone, and even the PC all lose internet connectivity;but home sharing still continues to function properly on ATV2.
    I'm not too savvy on routers and modems, but could the problem be my router's capacity?

    On my windows 7 machine, itunes won't connect home sharing with my apple tv.  This problem started about two itunes updates ago.  Any thoughts?

    Try a search of the forums or the "More Like This" section to the right.
    Also might have better luck posting to the Apple TV forum.

    is it possible to set up home sharing with my daughter's laptop - she lives in a different part of the country?

    Unfortunately, no. Home sharing only applies to devices sharing the same Wifi network.
    iTunes Match is an alternative to look into.

    how can i get my 2nd laptop to read home sharing with my other laptop and mac mini.

    if I take the laptop off site, i loose the connection
    Of course you do because you're no longer on the same network.
    Connect to your work's VPN connection and then share the files

    Try here:

    Also make sure you copy your iPod backup to the new computer.  You can find its location here:
