TS2972 Have to keep restarting iTunes for homeshare

I replaced my two Apple TV 2s with Apple TV3s, and now I have to keep restarting iTunes on my iMac to see my libary.
It was flawless before.  I very rarely had to restart iTunes.
I have an iMac (2011, i7), hardwired to an airport extreme, and then the two Apple TVs are hard wired as well.
I'd blame the ATV3s, but I also can't see the library on my iOS devices unless I restart iTunes on the iMac regularly.
Thanks for any assistance.

Same issue here :-/
One Apple TV2, one Apple TV3.  Both hard wired into AEBS which in turn is hard wired to a Mac Mini running iTunes.  The library itself is on a HDD attached to the AEBS via USB.  Also two airport express units.
Once/twice a day the remote app on my iPad/iPhone loses sight of iTunes, as do the Apple TVs.  Quick restart of iTunes and we're back in business.  iTunes on the Mac is fully functional in these periods of downtime so it's not like it cannot talk to the hard drive where the library is or anything.  It is EXTREMELY annoying and got worse recently so some update has done something bad.  Everything is running latest versions of software/firmware.
I set something up on my iPhone/iPad so I can restart iTunes remotely which helps A LOT but it's still far from ideal and not very 'Apple'.

    - Try a reset. Nothing is lost
    iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
    - If still problem, see it iTunes nows sees the iPod so you can restore the iPod.
    - Next see if placing the iPOd in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovry mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Last, try DFU mode and restore.

    Unfortunately, I have tried signing into Itunes for the past hour and keep getting this message: 'We're sorry we cannot complete your request on the itunes store at the time. Please try again later.' I'm using a thinkpad laptop T430. Please help!

    I have got the same problem. I am  using windows 8.1, latest version of iTunes, Symantec NIS.  My internet connection is working.
    My apple Id and my password are correct since they work on my iPad and on my iPhone.
    message is "ware sorry.we cannot complete your request on the itunes store at this time."   And in smaller letters : "try again later". Which i did many times over several days.  Just does not work.

  • My computer keeps restarting itself for the last two hours and i don't know what to do. Please help me

    I need help, my MacBook Pro keeps restarting itself for the last two hours saying there's a problem. I can't get past the grey screen without it restarting and i don't know what to do...please help me

    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
         Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select ReinstallLion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from
         the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is
                    three times faster than wireless.

  • Why do I have to keep restarting iPad 2 to get emails to download when I am successfully connected to three blips of at home wifi ???

    Why do I have to keep restarting my ipad2 to download my emails even though it is connected to my home wifi perfectly, Internet is working, but the circle just spins constantly and won't update ??? It is very frustrating !!!

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • Desktop not loading, I have to keep restarting computer and it doesn't always work!! Why???

    everytime I turn on my computer it loads the basic desktop (factory settings one) with non of my icons or image.
    Sometimes if I restart my computer it loads correctly and other times I have to keep restarting my computer.
    This is extremely annoying can anyone help to fix this issue.
    It is happening on both mine and my spouses computer and both computers are less than 12 months old!
    thanks.

    Hello m ember87un
    What operating system are you running and what model of HP computer do you have? Based on your description it sounds like your user profiles may be corrupt or the computers are experiencing other problems. According to a Knowledge Base (KB) article from Microsoft this can also be caused by antivirus software scanning your computer what you try to log in. See the link to the KB below for troubleshooting steps if you are running Windows Vista or Windows 7.
    As you can see in the symptoms Windows is loading a temporary profile for you. Do you receive any messages similar to "The user profile service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded."? Let me know what happens.
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" to those that help solve your problems.
    When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

    Need some help: my itunes won't sync with my iphone anymore. Both softwares are up to date and I've reinstalled itunes. After I reinstall, it syncs. But then when I reboot my computer, it no longer syncs anymore and I have to keep reinstalling itunes. Thoughts???

    thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess. 
    That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!
    Either way your welcome and best of luck!

  • Since downloading OSXMav 10.9.4, Safari quits. Have to keep restarting - want the downlevel version back; how?

    Even as I try and submit this question, I have to keep restarting the iMac. Wifi is not the problem, and all other applications such as iPhoto, WP, PS, etc work.

Help me, I'm drowning in restarts!

    My iPhone 4s. Keeps coming up sim invalid, I have to keep restarting my phone but doesn't help, it's only 5 days old and I'm fed up now with it now! Any solutions please?

    There is obviously something not right... But to determine what the issue is, it needs to be looked at...
    And the Apple Store would probably be the best place...
    Just my opinion...

  • Why i have got charged from itunes for 7500/- without any authorisation from my side?

    Why i have got charged from itunes for INR 7500/- without any authorisation from my side?
    Precise date and time of charges levied are 18th of May 2013 at 15:49:07.
    Kind request to reverse the same on an urgent basis and send me the acknowledgment and confirmation about the same.
    Regards,

    It is probably a test charge to see that the account you have established is valid. Apple will not pursue the charge and it will eventually drop out of the system.   It is simply a technical matter.
