Can hear my music but cannot access photos nor videos

Thanks Braden85

I read carefully all related material you suggested.

I still can't access photos and films i have in iTunes from the TV. But (?) i can choose and listen to all the music! Is music (sound) managed separately from Video and Photos?

On my TV I can see what I have in iTunes (photos, films and music) - EVERYTHING is right there in front of me and I can go from one to another (photos, music, films) but as soon as I choose a picture or a film, it goes into the rolling ball mode and i wait and wait and it never stops until, fed up, I go back in the Menu with my Apple Control. I verified that i had enabled Home Sharing with the correct Apple ID... and i did the same on the computer (i deactivated and reactivated for the sake of "waking" it up).

NOTE : until last Fall i was with a Cable company for my computer and TV while my phone was with Bell Phone Co. I never had any problems then. This is the first time I'ved tried to access my computer through AppleTV since then. Bell is my sole provider now for all services (phone, cell, TVs and Computers). I now use the Bell router.

The iMac (Mavericks) has the latest update and so does iTunes and the AppleTV gen 2.

I FIND IT ODD that i can get to my music in itunes but not the photos and films. Does that seem odd to you too? THANKS...

Hi and thanks again,

This is becoming a complex problem:-) Your info has been helpful in helping me understanding the mechanics but everything on my computer seems to be in accordance with the readings you've proposed.

As i've stated before, I can connect with my computer from the TV that AppleTV is connected to. I can access my iTunes music folder and listen to my choices. It's when i go the the film and photo folders that the problem arises. I've tried a lot of things including entering my Apple ID on the computer via Apple TV.

Then something strange happenned : it tried to reach the iTune Store and failed. Tried again and eventually got the message to try later!!!

I then tried doing the same thing via iTunes on my computer without any problems.

I'm wondering: should I connect AppleTV directly to my computer (which is really a big deal cause there is no easy way to do that without leaving the cable lying about). With Bell i'm connected via the phone line... is that the problem I wonder... Strange. Never had problems connecting before i changed companies. Used to be a cable took care of both my computers and my TVs while Another company (BELL) took care of phone and cell. Now BELL takes care of everything but the phone line is used for the Phone, Cell and Computer while TV is taken care by their Satellite Dish on the roof...

Got a feeling...

What do you think? I hate asking Bell, they're not too bright when it comes to being helpful with Mac products. :-)
