Second Apple TV won't Home Share

Hi everyone.
Here's my current setup:
Windows 7 on PC.
First Apple TV 3rd gen connected to my main wireless router which is a D-Link DIR-825. No issues with connectivity and streaming. No issues with accessing / using home share functionality.
Second Apple TV 3rd gen connected to an Amped SR300 High-Power Wireless-300N Smart Repeater. No issues with connectivity and streaming. But I can't seem to get this second Apple TV to connect to my iTunes home share.
I've reset both the Amped repeater and the second Apple TV and still can't home share.
Any ideas or suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
Cheers!

My apologies, as I've provided the wrong info.
Both ATV3's are running on software version 5.1.
So this begs the question as to why one ATV3 is home sharing without issue and the other isn't?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers!

  • Macbook air and iMac won't home share

    I just bought a new Macbook Air (OS X Mavericks Version 10.9.4) and would like to transfer my music from my iMac (year 2009, Mac OS X Version 10.5.8) onto the Macbook. I have turned on home sharing on both devices and also file sharing. I am not seeing a home share icon in my iTunes library on either computer. My iMac is running on iTunes 10.6.3 and my Macbook Air is running iTunes 11.3 . I am hoping that despite the fact they are not updated the same, the music will still be able to transfer. Both devices are on the same wi-fi network as well. Would appreciate any feedback or advice! Thank you.

    Hi myraann19,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you want to move the music to your new computer with Home Sharing, but there is an issue setting it up. The first article linked below will walk you through setting up home Sharing, it also provides other options for moving the music to a new library also. And, the second article provides tips that should resolve the Home Sharing setup issue.

  • Network problems with Apple TV 3 - streaming / home share etc

    My setup:
    iMac (21", mid-2011) running OS X 10.7.3 and iTunes 10.6
    Apple TV 3
    Apple Airport Extreme router
    BT HomeHub 3
    HomeHub is used as a modem (ADSL), wired connection into the Airport Extreme which then provides my wireless network.
    Apple TV set up last Friday (launch day). I have it set to use home-sharing with iTunes, and have tried the YouTube channel. Not tried using the iTunes Store direct.
    Initially had problems with 'streaming' video from iTunes using home-sharing, buffering either took a VERY long time or simply didn't happen at all. After a reset, updating OS X, iTunes, Airport Extreme firmware etc etc it started to work fairly well. Also tried streaming video direct on the YouTube channel (very fast, no buffering delay at all) and using AirPlay from an iPad (again, no problem).
    Tonight, everything appears to be broken. Home sharing from iTunes has taken 2 minutes to buffer 30 seconds of video; YouTube similar; AirPlay from the iPad doesn't appear to be streaming at all.
    Have tried re-starting iTunes; re-starting the Airport Extreme; re-starting the Apple TV. Nothing changing.
    Help?!

    I don't have an answer for this, unfortunately. I've even had my Apple TV replaced (yesterday), and after about an hour of normal operation, it now fails to connect to servers, or connects intermittently and poorly, and it can no longer connect to the iOS Remote app. These are the exact symptoms that prompted the Genius Bar to replace the original unit.
    Either there is a basic flaw in Apple TV, or I'm extremely unlucky. All my other Mac and iOS devices have positively no network problems. Very frustrating.
    WiFi is provided by a late-model AirPort Extreme.

  • ATV2 won't Home Share with McAfee firewall active

    Hi, I have Windows Vista with McAfee SecurityCenter set up. McAfee firewall takes over for Windows and I have the following ports open (as per Apple Support pages)
    TCP 3689
    UDP 5353
    ATV2 cannot see pictures, music and videos with these ports open, it only works if I turn off the firewall altogether.
    Does anyone know what other ports need to be open for this to work?
    Let me know. Thanks

    Can't find the page for AppleTV 2, but:

  • TA24640 my apple will not home share cannot find my  library

    my apple tv will not home share and will not find my library,everything else is working including you tube etc.

    Have you checked both devices are using the same network and that your firewall or security software aren't blocking iTunes.

  • HT3819 Not able to use home share with new apple TV from my PC

    I have set up all, i think correctly, at on my iTunes on my PC, also I have added my appleID to my new Apple TV, but my PC and Apple TV doesnt want to communicate anyway.... have tried to turn off home share at both places, doesnt help.

    Hi, and thanks for your feedback,
    No, I have tried the suggestions there. restarted all Router, PC, Apple TV re-started home share with my user ID and all, but my iTunes library wont show up on my apple TV anyway... just telling med to use the same uaser ID.....

  • 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.

  • When i home share my itunes music from my macbook pro to my apple tv 3, it cuts out every 10-15 seconds for a split second. HELP PLEASE!

    Hi, I'm running mountain lion of a macbook pre 13 inch. I have connected my new apple tv 3 to it so that i can home share my music to play on my apple tv. Every 10 or 15 seconds, the song with cut out or drop out for a split second, then continue. Though it can be looked past, it is so annoying! Advise would be much appriciated.

    Sorry i also forgot to add that my macbook pro is a few years old, and i use a program called airparrot to airplay videos, but i beleive that airplay and home sharing is totally different..correct me if i'm wrong. thanks.

  • 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

  • HT202213 Apple tv won't recognize home share from my computer

    I have turned on home shareing on both imac & apple tv but apple tv won't recognize my imac. the display just says turn on home shareing.
    I managed to get to work once after I downloaded the latest version. It picks up the network ok, movies and music work fine.

    if firewall in router or on the computer is not letting the shared lib be avaible then you need to change that

  • Help, My Home Share Won't Work?

    I have a two computers (laptop, desktop) on Windows XP, both running on the same Wifi.
    I want to share songs from one to another,
    and on the laptop, the Home share is willing to work,
    and on the desktop, when I go to Preferences and click Sharing, it says the Bonjour won't work or something and I have to reinstall iTunes,
    and I'm afraid of losing all my song files since most of them are from CDs.
    what to I do?

    It sounds like it's broken. Assuming you haven't jailbreaked or otherwise hacked it you should try a Restore or a Recovery. If you put it in the cradle and you can't restore it see: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305797 for Recovery mode.
    If this doesn't work call Apple or take it to an Apple store; it probably needs to be replaced.
    If it HAS been hacked go to the source of your hacking tools for help; we aren't allowed to discuss it here.

  • 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

    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

  • I am trying to home share with my sister. I have it down to where I can copy the songs, but I just don't have the "import" button. So it won't allow me to do anything with the songs from her computer. What should I do now?

    I am trying to home share with my sister. I have it down to where I can copy all the songs I want, but it won't allow me to import them because my iTunes doesn't show the "import" button at the bottom. So what do I do now?

    I have reinstalled the drivers. I watched it install the realtec and cirrus drivers. Hovering the mouse over the speaker icon says 'speakers: HP'. They are actually 'Creative'. 'Properties' indicates 'IDT High Definition CODEC' and 'This device is working correctly'.
    Driver details gives 'c:\Windows\system32\drivers\dmk.sys'.
    There is still no sound, although the little level meter on the control shows a green bar rising and falling.
    Obviously, it thinks it's working, but there's no connection to the speakers. They're not muted, either. I checked that too.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks.
