Why won't my Apple TV recognize my Apple ID when connecting to Home Sharing?
I'm out of town using my Apple TV in my RV connected to WiFi at a campground and I'm trying to connect to Home Sharing because that seems to be the only available option to me when I turn on the Apple TV.
Whenever I try to connect my Apple ID info, it gets denied with the "Error" page saying that my Apple ID info is incorrect. However, I have re-entered and rechecked the info multiple times and even tried using a different family member's ID info.
What am I doing wrong here? I just want to watch Netflix via Apple TV!
Re: Solution for Apple TV 2, Xfinity router, Ethernet connection and Home Sharing
You may need to configure some ports on your router for port forwarding. Before you do, you may want to try setting the Apple TV date and time to manual but have the time zone be the same as your computer that is running iTunes.
The link is to a more aggressive approach that will solve your connectivity problem. Your equipment may not be the same but the configuration changes is what you are looking for here.

Why won't Lightroom 4.4 recognize my Nikon D600 when attempting to use Tethered Capture? However, Lightroom recognizes the camera otherwize.
I just checked the list of cameras supported for tethered shooting, and the D7000 is on the list of supported cameras. So perhaps it's time for you to double check your camera settings to make sure it is set up for tethered shooting.

Why won't 10.6.8 recognize canon xha1
Why won't 10.6.8 recognize the canon xha1 video camera
THIS IS STUPID! One of the few things about my Canon XH A1 and/or my mac that really tick me off!
Nevertheless I have found a roundabout solution that worked for me and may work for you as well:
My macbook pro (2011) has a Firewire 800 plug. Do NOT plug the camera directly into the firewire 800. Instead, plug the camera into an external hard drive (i happen to have a 500GB Western Digital) with 2 firewire 400 ports. THEN, plug the external HD to the Macbook computer.
ODD, I know, but it works, i tell you!
So the chain should be:
Cannon (4pin firewire 400) --> WD HD (6pin firewire 400)
WD HD (6pin firewire 400) --> MacBook (Firewire 800)
Presto... recognization!
Good luck. -

Why won't my iPhone 4 recognize my sim card after update?
I updated my iPhone 4 over wifi and it went through the process fine, until it switched back on and now refusese to recognize my sim card!
Any ideas?Usually this means the phone was previously jailbroken or hacked to unlock it from the carrier it was locked to, and the update re-locked it to that carrier.

I recently updated to Yosemite and never had this issue before.I'm not 100% sure of the ins and outs, but it's some sort of known issue between Yosemite, Airport and wifi. All you can do is wait for a fix and keep restarting your equipment as and when needed, unless you have the ability to connect your Mac via ethernet.

My Apple TV and IPad drop after x mintues from "Home Sharing". To restart it, I need to close iTunes on my Windows 7 PC, open it , then I can listen again X minutes (15-90 minutes) to my music via "Home Sharing". Any idea why? What worked for you?
I believe if you updated your Apple TV, you need iTunes 11 to make it work.

Hi,
We have just purchased Apple TV and can't connect to Home Sharing. We have wifi, the iPad is updated. I can't find the link on ITunes on the iPad that the tv is telling me to click. I've also tried turning it on via settings then music which seems to be connected. I can view YouTube clicks on the tv, but not an app so I can watch the footy. What am I doing wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
ThanksMake sure your Apple TV is on the same network as your iPad. The SSID and password of router must be set in your Apple TV.

I have an apple tv 3 but when i use Home Sharing from my Windows Laptop the Apple TV shows all my music on the TV but it will only play 1 or 2 songs and then stops!!! Annoying, so I have to re-start iTunes on my Laptop and it will play 1 or 2 more songs then stops again!!! still annoying.
Can anyone assist me with this issue?
ThanksTo downgrade, you'll need to download the previous software version here: ATV3 http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4361.20120605.grjot/AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
ATV2: http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4362.20120605.t8i4U/AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
Next, plug the Apple TV into your computer with a micro-usb cable (most phones today use these) and start up Itunes. It should detect the Apple TV in recovery.
After that, hold down Option on Apple or Alt on Windows and click Restore. This should open a window that allows you to select the software update you want to apply. Select the one you downloaded earlier.
It will then go through the restore process, which takes only a few minutes, and then you will be able to plug the Apple TV back in to your display and set it up again.
I recently ran into a similar issue with a bunch of these things and after restoring them all to the previous software version they are working again. -

Apple TV no longer connects to Home Sharing
Hello,
Frustrated and working on this issue for month - Apple TV no longer connects with Home Sharing! I have uninstalled all apple firmware and reinstalled from scratch ITunes, I have checked and unchecked Home Sharing and entered password dozens of times! I have reset all four apple TVs and I have unchecked/disabled IPV6 and it still does not work. all four Apple TVs have worked for years and somewhere along the way they just stopped.
I am running Windows 7 and the only thing that has changed in the path is the Time Warmer Arris router. Apple TV still connects to WiFi and Netflicks.

we have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong? it comes to the last loading page where it shows the desscription of the movie befor it acually plays.
It can come about without any change done by the user, and it's not just from other networks. The placement of the router can also affect performance. Also make sure router is up to date.
Apart from that would be the reboots.
