    What does it matter if others are having the issue?  Unless they are on your same network it is irrelevant.

     

    Troubleshoot the network issues, like power cycling the router and rebooting the ATV and computer.

    Mine neither Cam85, ever since recent iTunes updates. Previously iTunes would stream to ATV either wireless or ethernet without a glitch.

    No matter what diesel says the matter is not solely in your court. It is a widespread issue, therefore the fault must be at Apple's door.

    I have followed all the Apple trouble shooting guides to the letter, reinstalled, selected sharing on/off/in/out/etc on all devices and there is no improvement, in fact since the last iPad3 7.1.1 and ATV3 6.1.1 updates things are even worse as now ATV3 and iTunes 7.1.5.5 will not talk to each other at all. Interim I could play music over but not films or TV shows, now zilch will play over.

    Stuff in iTunes will play fine on the pc and my iPad will Airplay to the ATV3, but there is no Airplay icon in iTunes now.

    ATV3 calls out and searches for the correct library name from iTunes so there is all round comms between the hardware but it just feels like iTunes has put a stick in the wheel preventing my stuff (not bought from iTunes store) from playing onto ATV3.

    I Actually got it working, turned off my home sharing on both devices restarted my computer and it mysteriously worked again. No clue what the actual problem was.
