My AppleTV only allows me to play purchased music from iTunes. I have an extensive library that I burned from CD's that I am pulling my hair out to figure out how to play them. Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks
Your music library needs to be in iTunes on a Mac or PC. In iTunes enable Home Sharing and you should see your music library and playlists on the Apple TV. Both the computer and ATV have to be on the same WiFi network.
See the following page on Home Sharing.
Thanks for the reply. All of the songs are in my iTunes on my PC. I've enabled Home Sharing on both the AppleTV and in iTunes. They are on the same network. 😕The only problem I see is the ATV, under Computers tells me to turn on home sharing. In Settings, it says it is turned on. Any other suggestions?
Thanks
If the computer is running and on the same network then something within the network may be blocking the connection.
Some common tips
I've had this problem before, first try rebooting the ATV. On the ATV go to Settings > General > Restart. (I'm doing this from memory but I think that's the right sequence). If that does not work try rebooting your router.
Leave a reply if that does not work.
