Q: Apple TV 2 Home Sharing can't connect to my iTunes Library
Ever since the last iTunes update - I think the one to 10.5.3 (3) - the Apple TV sees my computer but will hang (and eventually drop the connection) trying to see the contents of my iTunes Library on my 2010 MacBook Pro 17. It still works fine with my wife's 2006 iMac.
On another front, when I browse into my iTunes from my iPhone 5.0.1 4s, I only see some of the TV series - not all of them. In fact it sees 19 seasons of BtVS with wildly varying numbers of episodes per season as opposed to the 5 1/2 seasons I have loaded.
Anyone know if 10.5.3 (3) introduced any Home Sharing problems?
We're on a 802.11n network through an Airport Extreme.

Just solved mine by resetting the Apple TV 2 pressing the menu button and down at the same time until the LED blinks rapidly according to this KB article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3180
Hope this helps!
