Q: Apple TV4 Home Sharing Stopped Working
I set up my Apple TV4 in January and Home Sharing worked flawlessly. I was able to click "Computers" and it showed all my music and pictures in my iTunes that I had running on my PC.
As of this week, I am no longer able to get Home Sharing to work on the Apple TV. When I click "Computers" it gives the message about turning on Home Sharing on iTunes for my email account.
Things I have done:
- Double checked that Home Sharing is on and iTunes is running (even turned it off and back on again and restarted iTunes a few times)
- Double checked that the iTunes account for Home Sharing is my correct email address (and logged out and back in a few times)
- Double checked that the under the iTunes "Sharing" Preferences menu, it is selected to share my entire library (and I unchecked and rechecked and restarted iTunes a few times)
- Unbplugged/reset my router
- Restarted the Apple TV
- Unchecked IP6 in my computer's Network Settings
- Restarted the Bonjour service on the computer
- Checked iTunes for updates
Everything else seems to function fine with the Apple TV. Very frustrating!
Thanks in advance for any help.

Have you turned off the PC firewall, or opened the required ports, as described here Get help with Home Sharing - Apple Support?
