Q: Home sharing not working with iMac
I have been using my iMac to do home sharing for my media on to my Apple TV, lately it shows but won't allow the apple TV to connect to it. I have the latest updates on my iMac and Apple TV. If I turn on homesharing on iTunes on my Windows machine I can access it fine (it is also at the latest version of iTunes). my windows machine does not have my full iTunes library (nor does it have the space).
I have tried resetting my Apple TV to factory defaults, and reconfiguring. I have tried rebuilding my library on my iMac, I have tried logging in and out of Homesharing. I am completely stuck.
Has anyone else had this problem? And if so, how did you recover. Thanks
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), Mid 2012 27inch, Fully Loaded

OK. Found the fix - Check out this thread - Apple TV cannot connect to iTunes library on MacBook Pro after upgrade to Yosemite/iTunes 12
Problem for me was.. rename the computer.. and it worked.
