Intermittent home sharing - TS suggestions?

• AppleTV lose synchronization with the home sharing

  First my set up: I have an AppleTV 2nd gen and the AppleTV 3rd gen (both up to date), the 10 Windows computer, iTunes 12.3.2.35 (the latest version), Airport Express (also updated) router hooked up to the modem to my cable company (bought airport because the wifi on the cable modem was crap and I had to reboot the modem on a daily basis). I put both the Windows Firewall and the firewall on the cable modem to accept UDP Port 5353 Hello (in fact, that morning on the Windows Firewall is configured to accept any port).

  The problem: for the first eight months, I got the Airport Express, it was great. I was finally able to use reliably the AppleTV without having to reboot, nothing. A few weeks ago, I started having problems when I turn on the AppleTV and he told me that she could not access share and I want to ensure that the computer is on the same network, iTunes updated and these. Everything is up to date and I have only a single network appliances signed in. Usually restart iTunes solves the problem, but this isn't really an option when one of the AppleTV is connected to and play something iTunes. At this stage you can still stream purchases iTunes, YouTube and other apps, it does not recognize only the computer itunes library. Go to the general tab and then by restarting the AppleTV don't work, or don't disconnect and reconnect it to the network. On rare occasions, I had just restart everything (not sure if the router and the modem that requires restarting, but as I expected the computer I thought it have not harmed).

  I wonder if someone can offer a preview/advice as to why the AppleTV intermittently does not recognize your computer for sharing, especially when the other AppleTV is fortunately streaming something from the iTunes library on my PC. I want to say that it worked very well at the start of the latest version (12.3.0.44), but she definitely felt the connection problem until 12.3.2.35 was released and it did not get better with the update. Googling around the internet, I saw comments on disabling IPv6, but I prefer not to do that because it is likely to cause other problems on the road.

• Home sharing a fall of Apple TV 3 rd gen.

  I have two devices. A MacBook Air 13 inch (2013) and a new iMac 27 K 5 in. end 2015 (OS 10.11.6). The iTunes is the last 12.1.5.21 and once on the version previous home sharing would be cut at random on my Apple 3rd GEN MacBook Air TV is never a problem, just this iMac. Yesterday I fixed in signing off everything, leave iTunes, restarted my iMac, reboot of the Capsule of ancient times - not sure of the model, then by restarting Apple TV. He was working back. Then I just tried this and failed. Then, I am registered on the sharing House Apple TV and iTunes from iMac, restarted the router and voila it worked. Now while typing this it just cut off again. This is while watching videos streaming on Apple TV, the main reason I bought the thing.

  Now I try the same procedure to see if it will work. Why - what is falling all the time. I am registered on iTunes, but Apple TV says that I am not connected. This is getting very frustrating.

  HI T - dude,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. From what you have said, it seems that for Apple TV streaming home sharing is cutting.  Looks like you already have a troubleshooting. There are a few things that we can do that you mentioned not try again. I recommend you read these articles, since this seems consistent throughout a few Macs, maybe it's a problem with the AppleTV.
  
  

  If you use an airport or a Time Capsule, check the firmware updates.

• Home sharing password

  I was under the impression that the Apple ID password and home sharing password were one and the same, however, when I try and connect to the share house I get the message "home sharing could not be enabled because Apple ID or password is incorrect.". My ID never changed and I must admit for several days, I changed my password several times in the hope of being able to connect. The password works with everything except the home sharing.

• ATV 4 Home sharing

  Other owners ATV4 still encounter home sharing questions? People send feedback to Apple on the subject?

  I hope that the last update would have fixed the problem but it didn't. Instead, the ATV4 collects only dust like using the Roku is less boring that restart the ATV4s every time I want to connect to the share of the House and the Sling on Roku app flow is much better than the ATV.

• Apple TV Home Sharing very slow loading!

  Hi all

  If the thing is I want to listen to my films I have in iTunes on my Macbook Pro (late 2011) to my TV via my Apple TV!

  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!

  What I can do or guys you have ideas how to solve the problem?

  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!

• 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

• Is it possible to stream DVD of ICloud instead of iTunes home sharing via my computer?

  I would like to be able to download my DVD somehow so I can play them all Apple TV (gen 4) instead of airplaying them or having to maintain the computer to share the home of my iTunes (latest version). As it is, if I want to watch a DVD, downloaded on my Apple TV I must select COMPUTERS and go into my library to select the movie and then keep my computer over time. I managed to download a DVD on my Icloud player hoping to be able to stream the DVD from there nothing doesn't. I do not understand why this is the case and am unable to find any resources that explain the case however, I'm rather new to all this and perhaps, I not looking in the right places. Second of all, why can't I just go to the MOVIES on Apple TV and find them there with the rest of my movies as opposed to strictly buy films he and others else where; they are all good movies? Put them in the category FILM (it is more a problem of Apple, I guess). Is it possible to stream my DVDs to iCloud instead of iTunes home sharing via my computer? Any information or guidance would be appreciated thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

  When you look at the top row of the applications the homescreen are apps from iTunes Store.

  So the only films - purchased are one you purchesed from iTunes. It is the same for other applications in the same row.

  Focus on Plex to broadcast your own films as an alternative to the use of computers on the Apple TV.

• Home sharing does not

  House-sharing worked well for awhile, but now when I try to access home sharing on my iPad app videos I get the small circle load to half way then I get a message that home sharing cannot be loaded.

  I did the following to try to solve the problem...

  1. reboot all my devices (iPads, iPhones and ATV 3).

  2. close iTunes on my Mac Mini

  3 restart my Mac Mini and restart iTunes, making sure that his signature in the home sharing (and ensuring that all devices are also signed in the House sharing)

  4 pull the plug within 10 seconds of waiting router (ASUS NT-N66U) back in and restart it

  5 reboot the router; and

  6. I tried ethernet and Wi - Fi with the ATV

  I am confused, I don't know what to do next.

  I also renewed the DHCP lease and turned off the firewall on my mac and the router. I always have the same question.

• 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.
