Q: Could Not Connect to Library Issues - iTunes 11

My apple tv 2nd gen gives me the error message "could not connect to xxx library."  I have restarted the apple tv, router and modem and I have also reset the apple tv.  The apple tv will Airplay from my iPad and my iPhone 5 so it's on the same network.  All this started when I updated to iTunes 11.  I am using a PC for my library but I have an Airport Extreme, iPad 2, and iPhone 5.  Like I said, Airplay works from other devices but not from my PC.  I have checked the firewall and it allows iTunes.

AppleTV 2, Windows 7

    I have been experiencing this lately as well. I too am on iTunes 11. The only resolution I have found is to go into the Apple TV settings, general, network, select the Wi-Fi network you are assigned to, select Forget Network, and then re-log into the network.

     

    The three times it has not been able to access my library this seems to clear it up. Hope for the short term this helps.
