Question

Since updating to Yosemite I have to turn Home Sharing off and then back on to get it to work. Tried multiple resets. Software up to date.

Since I updated my iMac to Yosemite, I have had to turn off Home Sharing and turn it back on each time I want to use Apple TV. I tried multiple resets of iTunes and Apple TV box. Software up to date. iTunes shows Home Sharing is on, but it does not work until I turn it off and back on. Apple TV is on correct Apple account. Anyone else have this issue?

Apple TV (3rd generation)

I am experiencing a similar issue. I am using the latest iTunes on a Windows 7 64-bit PC and the iPhone Remote app to control my music. The Remote app constantly tells me to turn on home sharing after my phone times out and locks. So I have to turn off home sharing in iTunes and turn it back on, then everything works...

I've also disabled IPv6 to be sure that isn't interfering as well.
