• Home sharing Photo Display on Apple TV

  I selected 2500 iPhotos in an album on my MAC for display home sharing on my Apple TV while listening to iTunes.  Regardless of the method I chose, for example, Ken Burns, and even if I select "no repetition", AppleTV keeps showing the same pictures over and over again.  How can I load Apple TV to view all photos without repetitions?

  If you use the screen saver, only a small amount are temporarily hidden (usually around 100)

• Internet bandwidth economy with home sharing

  Hello

  I did some quick research, but has not been able to find an answer to this...

  I have an Apple TV 4 and I buy and stream iTunes movies and television on a regular basis. In an effort to save internet bandwidth, I wonder if I download movies / TV shows to my iMac and activate home sharing, will be my Apple TV then disseminate these to my iMac or will he continue to stream from the file iTunes servers?

  Thank you.

  Hi there Antonio0279,

  Yes indeed you can save bandwidth by using home sharing to view media on your computers! You must go through the computers rather than the streaming app to say that iTunes and this article has more information on this topic:

  • To find shared libraries, go to the main menu, select computers, and then choose a library.
  • You can also view photos from your computer to your Apple TV: open iTunes on your computer. Then go to file > home sharing > select the Photos to share with the Apple TV.

  From: use the share of the House to share content with other devices iTunes

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

• ATV 4 Home sharing not showing upward after 10.11.14 / iTunes 12.3.3

  I don't know which update borked... my home iTunes 12.3.3 or El Cap 10.11.14 sharing capabilities. House share used to work before each update. I've tried everything. Does not appear in iTunes, my ATV4 or one of my iDevices. Sharing used to be an option on my iOS devices, but even this is no longer an option because it does not have access.

  Can anyone help? I can't look at one of my home movies, etc..

  Thanks in advance!

  Home sharing is working I can see movies that I have on my Macbook Pro, but if I start to play the movies his load of 10-30 min, and then plays until half is reached, then stops loading. Also, I tried all this as listed on the apple support page!

  Are you using wifi, how far are the devices, do we force of signal you get on each. Do you know what kind of wireless network you use. 2.4 / 5 GHz, a, b, g, n, or ac.

• Apple TV home sharing does not (10 Windows, iTunes 12.4.1.6)

  I have two 3rd generation Apple TV in my house and home sharing used to work perfectly on it when the contents of the copy of iTunes on my desktop Windows 10 streaming. But since than do a clean install of Windows 10 that has not worked.

  I search online for the solution and have tried everything... but nothing works.

  It is not the firewall on the computer or the router by turning off both makes no difference

  Running iTunes in mode of different compatibility does not help

  Change the name of computers do not do...

  Someone at - it any other ideas?

  AirPlay works perfectly, it's just the sharing House that doesn't.

  Thanks in advance

  For home sharing work, ATV and iTunes must be on the same Apple ID This does affect airtime. Check the ID on your iTunes. You can find information here for help with home - sharing Apple support. Moreover, the firewall of the router, which focuses on internet traffic has nothing to do with it. The Windows Firewall must open certain ports to allow communication between different machines.

• Apple TV in error 'enable home sharing '.

  Years, I got an AppleTV on each of our 3 TV.  I have them, then connect via "Computers" to my iMac which is running iTunes and my library of movies more than 2,000 movies.  I've never had a problem with the part 'Computers' on the AppleTV not just have all my movies, music and TV he meet and watch.  However, I just moved and since then almost every time I want to watch a movie on my computer to the AppleTV article it says that my home sharing is not enabled.  Which is not at all the case.  Sharing my house is ALWAYS on.  And I let my iTunes always run continuously (I learned that when I set all this up - it won't work without being on my iMac iTunes).  I had this running correctly for years and now it does not work.  If I go on my iMac and unsleep-so I quit iTunes, then open it again - then everything rises.  It's very embarrassing and I know that's not the way it is supposed to work.  Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.  Thank you!

  Welcome to the Apple community.

  You need to disconnect your old ID in System Preferences > iCloud > sign out and then sign in with your new code.

  You will also need to do this for iTunes, App Store, Messages, FaceTime, and books.

  To change your sharing settings go to iTunes > file > Colocation.

• 4th generation Apple TV doesn't appear in itunes sync window cannot have content. Home sharing is on.

  4th generation Apple TV doesn't appear in itunes sync window cannot have content. Home sharing is on. Can not download music from my itunes library on the apple TV. Had a previous 1st Gen Apple TV. Any help would be great. Thank you

  The Apple TV is a device of broadcast rather than a storage device. You would home sharing and local stream your iTunes library via share house or stream content providers online who have released apps the App Store, such as Netflix, Hulu, Crackle, HBO etc would allow you to icloud photos and stream iCloud. But you won't actually store all personal data on the device ATV4 himself that the feature was available on the first generation...

• Home sharing Mac Apple TV

  I have a 3rd generation, Apple TV and just bought a new Apple TV this last Christmas. I often had problems connecting to my music and my Apple TV movies 3rd generation with my iTunes running on my iMac. Frequently, I get a message telling me that iTunes must be on and turn on home sharing. Now, I get that on my new Apple TV as well. My question is, that important if the computer is in standby or if hard drives are probably stop after my iMac has been asleep for more than 3 hours. which is my power to save the settings. Thanks for any help you can give. It seems to connect to my Apple TV is a hit or miss proposal today. I still have my share of home computer and ITunes is turned on, connected to the home network, but honestly I don't know if the hard drives are running when I try to connect.

  IF the shared computer with the lib is asleep, and in the absence of the network as such the atv cannot access data from it

• Why a home sharing started everything leaving iPhotos to show. I have been using Photos for several months to share on my Apple TV.

  I use your Apple TV (3rd generation) to display photos for my artwork. I use the Photos app and not to use iPhoto.

• Apple TV 9.2 using the keyboard to type the first few letters in library home sharing

  Hello community,

  Someone managed to use the keyboard to type the first letters of a movie/tv/music show in their home sharing library?

  I was able to do this on the old ATV but can't make it work on the new ATV.

  To explain more in detail - the reason why I want to do it is to spend in that capacity that I'm looking rather than slowly scroll down the list of titles. It is a useful time saver.
