Home sharing not working on Atv

Home sharing has stopped working, was working fine last week, have read various posts on the same subject so far non of the solutions work.

By process of elimination:

1. when iTunes is closed the Atv in the computers menu says turn on a computer with home sharing on, when iTunes is then opened the Atv can't see the iTunes library.

2. AirPlay from MacBook Pro to Atv works

3. An iPad can connect to the shared library and play movies

4. AirPlay from iPad works


iTunes is 11.0.1(12) Atv is 5.2 MacBook Pro is 10.8.2


Is iTunes at fault? Nothing seems to solve the problem especially as nothing has changed and it worked before today

Just to clarify itunes does need to be on in order for home sharing to work.


As you said the library is not showing up even with itunes open. What I would do in your situation is turn home sharing off and back on, on the computer. After doing that go to the apple tv and in the menu go to Settings > Computers > turn off home sharing. When you sign back in on the Apple TV it will automatically ask you to sign in with the same account as before. Make sure you choose to use a different account even if it is the same.


Post back with your results!
