    I have windows 7 and have had the problem of not being able to see my apple tvs and not being able to stream any of my own content through itunes for months now. I finally found the solution after endless searching. Mitch is the man!!!

    If the Bonjour service isn’t your problem, you may have a problem with iTunes trying to route sharing traffic using IP6 instead of IP4. Try these steps in Windows:

    1. Select Start, then type “Networking and Sharing” to search for the “Network and Sharing Center“.
    2. Choose your active network listed for “Connections“. It’s usually named “Wireless Network Connection 1″, “Wi-Fi 1″ or something similar.
    3. Click the “Properties” button.
    4. If Internet “Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)” is checked, uncheck it, then click “OK“.
    5. Click “Close“.

    Restart iTunes and try to use the Home Sharing feature again.

    I sure hope this helps some of you on this forum!

    Blessings

    I have an AppleTV 1st gen and was interested in this thread.  Somewhere along the way, someone restarted and the fix was done.  That didn't work for me but as soon as I reset to original factory settings, iTunes 12 found the appleTV and I was able to sync again and to update the ATV1 software without problem. 

     

    Thanks for the hints!
