Since I updated OS (to 10.10.1) on my iMac home share stopped working to my Apple TV (updated to latest version). I have tried just about everything, restarting everything, resetting Apple TV etc.
Is there anybody experiencing the same problem? Solutions?
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
I have also experienced this, it is so frustrating, turn on Apple TV, and then get the message, Turn on Homesharing....I then have to go to my Mac and deselect and reselect in order for it to work. I did do an update on the Apple TV and assume that's what you have done whiny state "updated", since then I have not had an issue. I have a dual frequency router and it is affected which channel i use, i now make suer that my mac and apple tv are on the same channel.
I HAVE DONE ALL THAT AND IT STILL DOES NOT WORK I CAN GET MY MUSIC BUT NO PHOTOS OR MOVIES
Same here! I have an iMac and a Windows server on my LAN and I have given up on the iMac. homesharing just dont work and it does not matter what I do. Apple tv responds imidiately that it cant access the photos. Not as before when it took some time before "granting access".
the server works flawless....
Have you checked your home sharing permissions in iTunes>File>Home Sharing
have you been through the sharing options in iTunes>system Preferences> sharing?
what exactly is working and what is not working with your Apple TV
I will try and walk through all the settings one more time this weekend although I think I already done it. Homesharing does not work at all for the moment between iMac and apple tv. Between imac and iphone it does work..
I'm having the same issue. My AppleTV (2) keeps insisting I turn on Home Sharing although it is already on. Everything is up to date and I'm using the same Apple ID on both sides. In fact none of my settings have changed for the three plus years I've had the Apple TV. The problem only came up after updating to Yosemite 10.10 and iTunes 12. It has persisted through:
Half the time I get the Cannot Connect message and the other half I get the spinning loading animation and then get kicked back to the main screen.
edit:
Solution found: Re: ATV 3 Version 7.0 Home Sharing not woking with Yosemite and iTunes 12
Basically, go into Sharing in your System Preferences and rename your computer.
Yes, changed the name of the computer AND restarted Apple TV, then it worked.
