TS2972 My apple ID on home sharing

Since I was watching a vedio on apple TV, it is stopped home sharing it self, and i see on the screen only two icons ( settings and computers ) and it asked me to tern on home sharing. I tried to do this and I put my correct apple ID and its password but always ask my there are some thing wrong and I had to check if the password is correct. I tried a lot to change the password and try to switch on home sharing again with new password but it gives me the same message. What can I do ?

    1.    You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    2.    Also try restarting the router.
    3.    If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
If this is a new Apple TV, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.

What IOS and OS are you using Elissa. I think from your post it used to work but has dropped off, is that correct or has it never worked? If it did wotk has anything changed? Check your wifi use with sopmething like istumbler to see if it is being used by neighbours etc?

Apple TV - iTunes Home Sharing - Mac mini - Not Working!!!

Hi everyone, I am in urgent need of help here!
I use the latest Mac mini to hold my iTunes Library to stream it over to my Apple TV with Home Sharing; however, there is a problem - it doesn't work anymore!
If I use my iMac or MacBook Pro, the Home Sharing works great to the Apple TV, without a single problem. For the past week and a half now though, my Mac mini just doesn't want to stream anything over, despite still appearing under the "Computers" column on the home screen of the Apple TV interface.
When I select my Mac mini, I get this seemingly endless loading screen:
http://goo.gl/s0Qg1
When that loading screen does end though, I get this:
http://goo.gl/xj3eY
It says "Could not connect to the Mac mini Library - Make sure your computer has iTunes open, and that it's on the same network as Apple TV."
I always verify that my iTunes is open on the Mac mini and that both the Mac mini and Apple TV are on the same network, and still nothing works.
Is there just some kind of issue with streaming the iTunes Library to the Apple TV via Home Sharing that I'm missing? There shouldn't be, but it's a very consistant problem that has come and gone away at random times, but now it seems to be a permanent and upsetting problem.
If anyone can help me on this matter, please send your helpful words because I would like to fix this problem and not deem my Mac mini as a waste of money. I actually bought the Mac mini for the purpose of streaming my iTunes Library, rather than to bog down my iMac with lag and memory being chewed up, because I need it being fast for my work.
Thank you!

I've got the same problem. Bought a second Apple TV2 a couple of weeks ago and set it up to work with both my iMac and MBP - no problems. Both Apple TV's worked perfectly from both computers until... after a long night at work, the newest one decided to display a message telling me an update was available. Yes, you guessed it! I updated!
Now, although this new Apple Tv displays the libraries from both machines, I get the messages in the original post when I try to access my iMac account - no problem though with my MBP account. Both machines have the up-to-date versions of iTunes. Thank goodness I did not update the older Apple TV2 box!
I echo the sentiments of all the other posts - it is about time Apple pulled their finger out and sorted this mess.
I wonder how many other people have the same problem?

If I use my husbands apple id for home sharing can i still use my own for downloading apps?

If I use my husband apple id for home sharing, can I also use my own to purchase apps and music?

Sorry, let me clarify. I have two Apple IDs A and B:
A: Used for iCloud. All my calendar, mail, contacts, and other iCloud features are here. This is the ID I use as "the" iCloud on my iOS devices and OS X machines.
B: Used only for purchases, on all my devices and machines. This is what I used to log into iTunes, or to buy apps for iOS or OS X.
The issue is that the only way (currently) to set up Family Sharing is to invite from an iCloud ID (A, in my case) on an iOS 8 device. That's not the ID (B) I use for purchases. The question is whether there's a way to share those purchases given that I'm configured on all my devices with A for iCloud. (Clearly if I somehow send invitations from B, I can share purchases; but that's not the question.)
It sounds like the answer to that question is 'No'.
If that's the case, how do I invite from B? Do I have to configure an iOS device with B as the iCloud ID? My problem isn't that I want to ("willy nilly") avoid inviting form B; it's that there seems to be no way (certainly no convenient way) to do that.

Apple ID on Home Sharing

We now have 13 Apple devices in my house (big Apple family) and I need to create a second Apple ID for home sharing. Is there any way I can transfer the ibooks, magazine subscriptions, and apps that are uniquely mine to a new Apple ID?

    1.    You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    2.    Also try restarting the router.

If you want to share from a different account simply go into the settings and log in with that home-share ID

Intermittent problems
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
Consistent Problems
A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports
Port
Type
Protocol
Used By
80
TCP
HTTP
AirPlay
443
TCP
HTTPS
AirPlay
554
TCP/UDP
RTSP

49163

MDNS (Win)
Bonjour/AirPlay
Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them.

TS2972 Apple tv an home sharing.

Hi guys, home sharing is turned on on my iPad and my ID and password are correct, however once I go into computers on apple tv it's telling me to turn on home sharing on my computer, but as I said its on or so I thought Any help?

Welcome to the Apple community.
The first thing to check would be that both devices are on the same network, after checking this, ensure that any firewall or security software installed on your computer is not blocking access for iTunes.

The helpfulness of answers is limited by the details provided. Just saying it does not work, or I got an error does not provide much to go on. How is it not working? What happens or does not happen? Is an error returned? If so what error. Are you sure you are logging in with your home sharing ID? It is not the same as your Apple ID or iCloud ID.

Apple TV dropping home sharing connection

Previous setuo with my Mac mini and Apple TV 3rd gen was fine, wired network connection.
New setup with MB Pro is wireless connection, ATV keeps dropping Home Sharing. Both on same network.
iTunes is up to date and so is ATV. I have to log out of iTunes Home Sharing, log in and then sometimes
have to restart ATV. Not sure what is going on. I have MBP set not to go to sleep and to wake on wifi.
Very frustrating.

Apple TV dropping home sharing with Win 7 Pro

Judging by the amount of problems people are having with this I'm not really expecting a resolution but I thought I'd give it a shot. I bought an Apple TV last week. Been wanting one now for a while.. I must say, I'm really disappointed with my decision on buying one now. Being a Apple user for a while now (MBP, IPhone, iPods) I had hoped that this product would be much better. I've been messing around since I bought it just to get home sharing working. My main PC, being a Windows 7 pro machine with all my media on it is hard wired to my router. With iTunes open and home sharing on, the Apple TV will not see any of my music or video. Following some of the suggestion I've been reading here I've tried everything from uninstalling iTunes, Bonjour, deauthorizing the machine and authorizing. Opening up the relevent ports on my router and too many other options I can't remember. What I found out is then when I reboot my router, home sharing comes on, lasts for maybe 15 - 20 mins then I cannot access anything from that main PC again until I reboot the router again. All this time, when I cannot access my media, if I turn on my MBP and start home sharing on this machine it works everytime. Both my MBP and Apple TV or wireless and the main PC is wired. I'm guessing that maybe there's something that needs to be changed on my router but I've tried most things suggested with no results. Only rebooting it will get it working again for another 15-20 mins. And I am using the latest version of iTunes on both my MBP and Windows PC. I even tried disabling the firewall on the PC and it still doesn't fix the issue. I'm hoping someone here can shed some light on this very frustrating issue. At this point I'm ready to bring the Apple TV back and buy something different.
