In setting up my AppleTV it asks me to turn on "Home Sharing" on my computer. It is already ON. I have turned it off and back on several times. Rebooted the computer, rebooted the AppleTV. But the same message is up and stops me from progressing to the next stage.

HT1947 How can I turn on Home Sharing on my Apple TV if I have lost my remote?
I have logged in to iTunes on my PC and enabled Home Sharing, I have then downloaded the Apple TV Remote app on my iphone5 and turned the Home Sharing on there as well.
Now when I turn the app on the only icon that I see to control is the iTunes library. I assume that the last thing that I need to do is to turn on the Home Sharing function on in Apple TV the only problem is that I don't have a remote to control anything. The screen is on I just can't navigate.
ThanksThanks so much! My issue is that I followed those same steps already and can't find my advanced settings on my iPad. Any suggestions?

Remote app keeps forgeting Apple TV
Good afternoon! Apple's Remote app 4.2.1 on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1.3 keeps forgetting my AppleTV 2 running Apple TV Software 7.0.3. When I open the app, AppleTV isn't an option (other iTunes libraries on my network do appear though). I can get my Apple TV to re-appear temporarily by using the remote that came with the AppleTV to navigate to Settings > Computers > Turn Off Home Sharing and then turning home sharing back on Shortly thereafter, however, the Remote app can no longer see the Apple TV.
Any suggestions for how I can get Remote to permanently remember the Apple TV? Thanks!Is this what you are looking for: http://itunes.apple.com/app/remote/id284417350?mt=8?

The Age app keeps asking for my password even though I am a subscriber. The developer can't fix it.
The Age app keeps asking for my password in subscriber content pages, even though I pay for subscription to access all areas. The Age can't fix the problem.
Try deleting and re-installing the app
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.
Be a little more insistant with the app developer. If it his/her code after all. -
hi,
i have dowloaded the app "remote" to use my iphone as a remote for my itunes library, i have turned on home shareing on my laptop. they dont seem to be talking to each other. i have also tried the other way of adding a library on my iphone, but my laptop wont show my phone on the devices list.
anyhelp would be apreciatedTurn off home sharing, you don't need that. Open Itunes Preferences from the computer. Go to the devices section. At the bottom you will see the option to add a remote access that and follow the steps.

Wby Apple apps keep asking for credit card? No app is working
Are they "Free" apps with In-App Purchases? If so, you need a credit card on file for the In-App Purchases.

App keeps asking for serial number (which I don't have)
I've downloaded my app (Audition) that my company already purchased for me. The app keeps asking for my serial number (which I don't have). When I'm logged into Creative Cloud, Audition appears in my account. What gives?
Hi Ratandeep Arora
I followed the instructions, made the changes suggested, and it's still asking me for a serial number.
I can't use my app that we paid for. Very frustrating.

I connected to home share on my ipad iphone and macbook pro now it's asking me to turn on home share on the apple tv but I have no other remote, any ideas?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If home sharing isn't enabled on the Apple TV, you will need the aluminium remote that came with it to do so. -
Use 2nd gen apple tv and remote control app on iphones and ipad. We can control some functions on the apple tv but unable to purchase, access such controls as reset, restart, turn off home sharing, etc. Home sharing stuck on old apple ID. Please help.
That is why I said to restore via iTunes, did you check the link?
This will put it back to factory settings and you can set it up with the new ID once you reconnect with your HDTV. This is not done via ethernet, as per the link you need to connect to the computer via micro usb. You cannot bypass home sharing.
FYI: An Apple ID cannot be deleted so the old one would still exist (even if you no longer use the email account it is associated with). -
I am trying to set up home sharing between my iphone 4s and mac which is running itunes 11. Both are connected to my home wifi network and using the same apple id but on the iphone app it says 'Turn on Home sharing in iTunes on your computer or apple tv using account ***
Does anybody have suggestions as to why this is the case?Understanding Home Sharing - Support - Apple

2 atv's both have home sharing enabled but one asks to turn on home sharing on my pc, but it is enabled on pc so I can only use one at a time to watch movies from my computer
Both atv,s are on the same network, they are wirless and the computer can see them and they are named different.
what ever one i switch on first gets to stream from my computer and the other one asks for home sharing to be switched on, then if i switch both off and start the other one first it gets to stream and the other one which worked asks for home sharing to be turned on. i have hidden all functionality, netflix etc as these are for my 7yr old kids.
