Q: my computers won't show up in home sharing on Apple TV

I connected AppleTV to my television, everything works but can't get the home sharing to show my laptop, iPad or iPhone. I have gone thru all of the setttings on each to work with Home Share, made sure the user name and password are correct on all....but to no avail. Have spent hours and have not solved the problem. Is there a setting in iTunes that I am overlooking. My laptop is a Dell Vostro with WIndows 7, updated to 11.0 iTunes.

    Make sure your PC and iOS device(s) are running under the same network.

    All devices must have home sharing enabled and all should be signed-in using the same apple id and password.

    After that is confirmed, using the music app and under the "more" option, you should find the "Shared" link.

    Then choose your music library
