Hi kkPaine,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

The attached article has some great information for setting up home sharing with Apple TV. The Apple ID you would want to use would be the same one that is signed in on the computer in iTunes. Please let me know if you need further assistance.

I had to call support. "Michael" was able to get me recognized by having me enter my ID info in the "Menu" "Set-up" area and just by-passing the inability to put that same info in the auto set-up protocol.

Thanks y'awl for your answers!! Much appreciated!
