Hi TonyWash,


Welcome to the Support Communities!


Is the Apple TV timing out while you are Home Sharing, using Airplay with a device, or working directly from the Apple TV menu? Without knowing the specifics, I'll provide some basic troubleshooting for your Apple TV:



One of the first troubleshooting steps is on Page 26 of the Apple TV User Guide:


manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1607/en_US/apple_tv_3rd_gen_setup.pdf


Try resetting your equipment by disconnecting Apple TV, your TV, your wireless networking equipment or base station, and your router

from the power outlet. Wait 30 seconds, and then reconnect everything.



Additional troubleshooting steps can be found here:

I hope this information helps ....
