Why i cant conect my apple tv to ma home sharing

Apple TV doesn't come with a cable, you have to purchase it separately.
Where you buy the Apple TV from?
What is the model of your TV?

TS2972 access your itunes on apple tv, turn on home sharing in itunes on your computer using "iTunes account"

I've had the apple tv 2 since the week it came out and haven't had much trouble with it until now. I haven't changed anything with my network settings. I have noticed the apple tv light seems to turn on at random times now when not being used. Now just about every time I try to access my iTunes library I get "To access your itunes on apple tv, turn on home sharing in itunes on your computer using (my account name)". My iTunes library is not listed. If I restart iTunes my computer with iTunes open will now be listed but when I select it it tries to connect them errors out. If I restart the computer then everything works fine. That is until next time I try to connect and I have to do it all over again. I don't want to have to restart my computer every time I use the apple tv. Any idea why this just started happening? Everything has worked until now. Bug in the latest iTunes maybe?
Thanks.

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.

Why Apple Tv 2 drop Home Sharing connection after few minutes?

I just installed an Apple TV 2. Internet connection applications as Apple Store, Youtbe, etc work very well but it drops Library`s communication just after a few minutes. I`m running files like music that are in the library in a PC with Windows Vista.
I`ve been reading other discussions and have done every thing that was suggested as:
- setting Static IP address
- have set Firewall with the ports are supposed to open
- have set Port Forwarding on the router (a Linksys WRT54GS)
- have updated Network Card driver
- have updated router firmware
- turned off sleepling mode and screen saver
- restored Apple TV 2
- reset router
- installed last Itunes version
All that and possibily other things that I do not remember right now but still looseingconnection to the Library after a few minutes. I have realized first time I put a slide show of pictures with music background and the music always stops after the second music. After that you just see the message that you need to turn on the Library related to my Apple ID.
Today I did a test with a home sharing with another computer I have that runs Windows 7 and guess what: the Home Sharing worked fine!
So, my conclusion is that there is some flaw on Home Sharing when running Itunes in Windows Vista or specificly with this computer running the Windows Vista.
I have done a research and have not found anything else. So, could anyone have a hint of what is going on?
Thanks,
Ricardo

Yesterday were released the IOS 5.1 and the Itunes 10.6. I thought that updating the IOS on the Apple TV 2 and the Itunes on PC, my problems would go away. I did that but for my surprise it has NOT.
Then I had a recall that I have read somewhere a while ago about issues with the AVAST Anti-Virus and Home Sharing, that can generate connectivity issues,
In one of my first temptatives to resolve this issue I have stopped the AVAST and I still had the problem, so I left this trail of solution. But since nothing was working I decided to uninstall it. I was a little skeptical about it but gave a shoot.
To my surprise, when I uninstalled it, booted the computer and did the Home Sharing, the problem was FIXED!
That made total sense because the other computer that runs Windows 7 and I have tested before, worked fine, it runs AVIRA as Anit-Virus software.
So my conclusion is that, on my case, the AVAST caused the issue and to stop its service was not enough to diagnose the issue. I had to uninstall it, believe or not. And that the issue has nothing to do with Windows Vista OS but with AVAST.
After that, I uninstall AVIRA as Anti Virus software and, since that, the Library and Home Sharing (24 h ago) is working perfectly and I think that will stay.

How can I authorize and access my itunes account on a new computer if I cant access my old computer to enable home sharing

How can I authorize and access my itunes account on a new computer if I cant access my old computer to enable home sharing

Authorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
To deauthorize a computer you don't have:
De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.

Have to restart Apple TV to get Home Sharing to work, iTunes 12, Yosemite

I am running Yosemite 10.10.2 and the latest Apple TV software 7.0.3 and using the latest build up iTunes 12.
Nearly every time I sit down at the Apple TV to connect to my iMac through the home sharing system that is accessed when you click "Computer" on the Apple TV, I am unable to load video content. The videos just load (spin) forever. My Apple TV has a wired connection to a Apple Router being used as a Ethernet hub. Everything has a wired connection, but Home sharing only works intermittently. The sure fire fix is restarting the Apple TV which will restore connectivity. I have had this exact same set up for a while but have only recently experienced this issue after upgrading to Yosemite and iTunes 12.
I have tried changing the name of he iMac which restored connectivity after Yosemite was loaded initially, but I am still unable to figure out why I have to restart my Apple TV every time to get home sharing to work.

On the ATV go to settings and test your network. You must choose the proper network speed you have, its mostly a guess so you'll need to try again if needed. Once done then sign out of home share on the ATV and on the Mac then sign back in and finish by restarting the ATV. This was my sequence of events to get home sharing to work. Airplay is a good backup though.

Apple tv 2 dropping home sharing connection

I have physically connected my apple tv 2nd generation to the same router that my mac and airport extreme are on even after updating. While watching music videos on apple tv I loose my connection and tells me to turn on home sharing. all ports 3689 5353 and 123 are allowed. I can't figure out why the connection is dropping. Any idea's?

Afe people have reported this problem. I don't recall seeing a solution. However, restart all of your devices and login and out of homesharing on the ATV and computer.
Also submit a bug report to Apple via the Apple tv feedback page. You can find it simply by googling Apple TV feedback
