because an error occured (-3263)? What is this?

My itunes stopped showing up on my TV menu under Computer. The Apple TV icon is blue on my desktop. I can stream music and video from my desktop but can't control it from Apple TV. This is recent. Have reset everything. To no avail.

Apple TV (2nd generation), iOS 5.0.1

I reset ATV. I can now stream from my iphone, and from my desktop, but I can't access my desktop from ATV's Computer option. ATV tell me to turn on homeshare. Again, when I attempt to do this from iTunes on my desktop, I get the "error occurred (-3263)" message. This all is recent, I had ATV 2G working before yesterday. Had updated my iphone 2 days before but this problem did not start then.

I don't believe there is anything in the Apple TV or iTunes updates that are responsible for your connectivity. Each and every update has its fair share of users that have problems, they are invariably due to corrupt installs, conflicts with third party software or an existing network problem that has become more prominent because of the different software.
