Jan 23, 2014 11:49 AM in response to bin945by Techlectics,I have thee ATV's in the house and have had this problem several times and It's always a router issue. Try rebooting your router and the ATV. I finally ended up replacing my router with a top-of-the-line Netgear router, assigning static DNS addresses to all my devices and I have not had any problems since.

Jan 23, 2014 12:15 PM in response to Techlecticsby bin945,★HelpfulThanks for the reply. I thought it might be the router, so I unplugged it and let go through a hard re-boot. Result: still no access to my I-Tunes library. So, I went back into the I-Tunes settings menu on the computer and found that Password protection somehow got enabled. I turned it off and Bingo, my library is accessible through my Apple TV.
I have ATT U-VERSE TV & Internet service. The wireless receiver also would not talk to the wired DVR/tuner. So, I had to unplug the ATT internet router, the ATT U-VERSE TV wireless gateway, the wired DVR/tuner and the wireless receiver and let them all re-boot. Everything is now talking back and forth and is working good.
I don't know what caused all this mischief, but I'm relieved that everything is working again.
Thanks again for your response.
