Shared computers not appearing on Apple TV

Hi
I had previously set up my Apple TV and itunes sharing with my iMac.
I have upgraded to 10.8.2 on the iMac and just upgraded the Apple TV to 5.2.
Under Settings on Apple TV, under Computers, the Apple TV tells me that libraries in home sharing will appear.  But no computers or libraries appear.
The only distinction I see is that my itunes account was created as a @mac.com and the TV states @me.com.
Do I need to change my @mac.com to @me.com?  Is there some other reason what my library does not appear?
The photos I've shared do appear as screen saver and home sharing is turned on in iTunes.
Not sure how to better word my question.

We recently downloaded 4 movies to the shared macbook pro and only 1 will show up in the apple tv's shared movies. There doesn't seem to be any reason why. They're all MP4s and all can be played within itunes without issue.
Right click and do a Get Info on one of these files - what is the resolution/bitrate?
I assume these are not from iTunes store - just because they play in iTunes does not guarantee AppleTV playback.

  • Album artwork not appearing on Apple TV

    Album artwork not appearing on Apple TV anyone with same problem or fix

    Bilk you're not alone! No Album Art work will load on my Apple TV now, despite having artwork for ALL my albums, my iOS devices display the the artwork (iTunes Match) I live in the UK. (Virgin Media customer) I've had nothing but problems since the last 2 OS updates, I have 3rd and 2nd gen Apple TVs, both now have the same problems, I have done full restore on both devices, still doesn't work. I hope Apple fixes the software soon.

  • I am trying to set up Sharing amongst several computers on my home network.  I have followed all the setup instructions but after completion Sharing does not appear in my iTunes window (on any of the computers I've set up).  There is no explanation why.

    I have been trying to set up Sharing between two computers on my network. I did this once and it worked.  However, when I try to set this up now the Sharing feature does not appear on the left side of the iTunes window (on either computer).  There is no explanation as to why not.  Is this a configuration problem, a network problem or what?   Can it be fixed?  I have tried turning sharing off and back on on both computers but to no avail.  What am I missing?  Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hey innerev2003,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If, while searching through your past purchases, items are unavailable to download and show a "Purchased" button, they are still on your computer. It may be best to search your iTunes library by clicking Music, then use the search bar at the top right.
    If you are completely sure the items are no longer in your library, try signing out of the iTunes Store, and then back in.

  • Home sharing does not work with apple tv

    Can anyone help me.  I used to be able to stream all content from my home master computer to my Apply TV.  Now it suddenly does not work.
    Apple TV itself works just fine.  I can also airplay using it with out IPADs.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes.  Reset the modem/router.  Reset Appletv.  Tried with Norton disabled.  etc.
    Nothing seems to work. 
    I keep getting the 'Turn on your home sharing in Itunes' message.   But it is on.
    Help is appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Sometimes just disabling Norton isn't enough, you may need to hunt down every last file it has written to your computer then re-install iTunes. I understand Norton can be quite a nasty little intrusion.
    I know very little about PC's or security software as I have neither, but the following article might help you.

  • Aperture - Album from Shared Library Not Appearing in iTunes

    I have a recurring problem which is making Aperture downright useless.
    I operate a shared Aperture library (shared between 2 users on the same iMAC) which resides in the 'Shared' Users folder. Obviously we cannot have the same library open at the same time -that's no problem. I have set the sharing properties for the library contents and folders to Read and Write for both of us.
    The problem is that when I add photos and create a new Project ad Album to put them in (not worried about the other user at the moment), these don't show up in the Aperture album or project list in Photos in iTunes to sync to my iPad or iPhone.
    I have this very minute added a new album, closed Aperture and made sure its written to disk. Then I have closed the iTunes app and made sure it has quit.
    Then when iTunes loads up again and I connect my device - the library and project do not appear in the items to sync.
    This happens all of the time and it's making Aperture pretty pants. If the only resolution is to rebuild thumbnails, rebuild XML file etc or any more of that - then its not fit for purpose.
    Has anybody a long term permanent fix for this?
    It's seriously doing my head in!

    Bumping this up as it seems that nobody has any idea.

  • Why is home sharing computers not showing up in iTunes (lion)?

  • Rented movie not appearing in apple TV 2

    I've renetd a movie in from itunes and it's in "rentals" in Itunes on my computer. It does not appear in my library on apple tv despite the fact that my music and photos do. What am I doing wrong? Movies rented directly through apple tv work fine but because of my internet connection I want to rent them in itunes and watch them later on the TV

    Thanks for the info. Youre right! I didn't realise my broadband connection had dropped out and the download had stopped. I'm on BB using a wireless modem as adsl and cable aren't available where I live. According to Apple this form of BB connection is the most unreliable for large downloads! wish I'd known before I bought the apple TV gadget.

  • Breaking Bad Episode 5 not appearing on Apple TV

    I have purchased the season pass to the final season of Breaking Bad and the first four episodes downloaded automatically to my Apple TV. However Episode 5 does not appear on my Apple TV. When I check on my laptop it is available but I want to watch it through my Apple TV. I tried restarting Apple TV and even a complete reboot. I'm getting frustrated! Can anyone help?

    figured it out imovie theatre has to be uploaded to icloud to work for some strange reason. Unlike iphoto or regular imovie which are just sent to itunes.

  • YouTube videos not appearing on Apple TV

    Reaching for straws here:
    Using my Mac and the Safari browser, I signed onto YouTube and created a Lana Del Rey playlist containing 10 videos.  When I play this playlist on my Mac, all 10 videos appear and play.
    When I click on the YouTube app on Apple TV and sign into my YouTube account, I can see my Lana Del Rey playlist.  But it only contains 4 of the 10 videos.  I've been trying to figure out why the other 6 videos do not appear.  Is it possible that YouTube allows certain videos to be played on a desktop computer, but not on Apple TV?
    All my Mac and Apple TV software is up to date.  Thx

    Not all videos are available outside of the website, no matter the platform. It could be due to copyright, or the user's decision.

  • HT202213 home sharing does not appear in my library but it is turned on and I am trying to link Apple TV. How do I make this work?

    Any help is appreciated. I'd hate to have to return Apple TV because I can't get it to sync and be forced to use iTunes Match. The Apple ID's are the same and the internet connection works.

    Have you also turned on Home Sharing on your Apple TV?  See "Setting up Home Sharing for Apple TV (2nd generation and 3rd generation)", http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4352
    If you have turned it on and it still doesn't work, look at "Troubleshooting Home Sharing", http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972

  • Networked Vista computers not appearing automatically in Finder

    Hello,
    I am having a hard time getting any of my networked Vista machines to show up in the left column of the finder menu. I can access the Leopard's public folder from any of the Vista machines, and I can access any of the Vista machines through smb://"computer name" or smb://ip - they're just not automatically showing up in finder.
    I have all the computers on the same workgroup (including the Mac), and I have network discovery, public folder / file sharing, and printer sharing enabled on everything (including the Mac). I have turned the Vista firewall off completely and even changed inbound / outbound permissions in the advanced menu, but nothing makes the computers appear automatically in the finder menu.
    I found this article and, according to it, I've done everything correctly.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1277379
    It seems I have come to the same conclusion they have:
    +"7) So all of the above seems to be great, and you still don't see things in your finder.+
    +Can you connect manually with option-k by BOTH IP address (smb://192.168.15.109) and hostname (smb://mastershake)?+
    +If so, the issue is with browsing only. If you can do both of the above (IP AND NetBIOS name) and you still cannot see entries in Network, there may be a real bug. I've noticed that Vista machines (with Network Discovery enabled) don't always show up correctly, while XP systems show up every time."+
    What do you guys think?

    Called Applecare,
    My issue went all the way up to an "Apple Engineer."
    They told me 10.5 does not actively search for SMB shares.
    I say "That is impossible because XP is automatically listed in the Finder sidebar anytime a computer is available."
    I get an 'over the phone shrug' and that was the end of the call.
    Can some network genius out there help me?!?

  • Photos on shared disk not appearing in catalog

    Hi, I recently went bi-platform (IMac and Windows computers being used). I have a home network. My Lightroom cat and all my images originally resided on my Windows computer's harddrives (four on board). After purchasing the IMac, I installed Lightroom on it and copied my cat files to it as well. All my photos continue to reside on my Windows computer's four internal harddrives so I turned on Sharing on the Windows computer for a test drive. (Yep, the photos are backed up to external drives). Anyway, when I launched my cat on the IMac in Lightroom, the thumbs and corresponding data appear just fine but when I point the thumb to the photo file on the shared harddrive, the thumb in the catalog disappears. Major bummer! Fortunately, I haven't done a bulk "find" otherwise I would have lost the entire catalog contents.
    Will Lightroom not work with photos stored on shared internal harddrives via home network?? I have read that it does work with photos stored on external harddrives but I would prefer to keep my photos on the four internal harddrives.
    Thanks for any help.
    Deb

    PS: I'm using Lightroom 3.5 and the IMac has OS Lion. Windows computer is running XP.

  • HT4557 Music More Shared does not appear and the password has been set up properly on all devices. What is wrong with Home Sharing?

    Really I can't believe how pathetic Apple products are at allowing people under the hood of certain settings or giving you some clue to what error messages mean. My password is entered properly on all devices I'm trying to use Home Sharing on, all check boxes are checked yet the iPad still cannot discover what is on the PC's iTunes list. I've tried everything in all of the forums on this site and nothing works, there is no Music>More>Sharing box that pops up. Also there is no Airplay button in my iTunes on my PC. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
