Nov 2, 2014 9:32 AM in response to Desmond Limby jplusc,So I tried everything with no luck. Then yesterday my new SSD came so i did a clean install of Yosemite from a USB drive and everything started working properly again. Previously I'd upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite and did not do a clean install.

Nov 2, 2014 11:47 AM in response to Desmond Limby robinf1,Had the same problem after firing up my new iMac. The solution mentioned above by watchdog worked for me with one extra step.
- Change the name of your computer. (System Preferences->Sharing)
- Then restart your AppleTV.
Then it saw and connected to my iTunes!
Thanks iwatchdog!

Nov 7, 2014 9:51 PM in response to Desmond Limby Toddon4th,I'm having this problem as well. I'm actually so frustrated that I'm considering getting rid of the whole Mac line up. Each time I attempt to use Apple TV it takes resting everything before it operates. Who wants to waste 15 minutes trying to make this work each time?
How is this setup any better than Microsoft??

Nov 8, 2014 1:20 PM in response to LouisMasseyby Airsculpture,ive been having the same connection issues to my library on my iMac . What I found helped but don't know why, was despite my ATV and iMac being connected to my network via Ethernet I had to switch on wifi on my iMac for the connection to be successful. It makes no sense, but the only way the library will connect to the ATV, despite Ethernet being used at both ends.

Nov 8, 2014 1:41 PM in response to Desmond Limby Clayton Rhoades,Juse doing a me too On here. I found after Yosemite including on my new retina iMac that my library could not be found. I have always had iTuneS Connected on my imac by Ethernet and the AppleTV by Wi-Fi. The only way I can find my library is to toggle the Wi-Fi on the iMac on and off and it would find it. The soon as I rebooted once it would not worK again. I'm not sure what it was about toggling the Wi-Fi. I took the suggestion someone had him here to change the computer name in system preferences and that seems to have solved permanently. Thank you for that.

Nov 9, 2014 3:40 PM in response to Sunshinexxooby Toddon4th,Thanks for the tip - I did this and now every time I open my computer on the Apple TV I have a new Library. They just repeat the same library for each time I open Apple TV. Anyone else encountered this?

Nov 11, 2014 6:46 PM in response to itwatchdogby Chinsler,That worked for me: updated computer name via system prefs and problem solved. Thank you itwatchdog!
Pretty janky that you have to do that IMO though. Shame on you Apple to do this within your own ecosystem!
Further, I've noticed a significant slow down on my late 2012 27" iMac w/ 16GB of RAM and a 3.4 GHz i7 processor after updating to Yosemite.
