Q: Home sharing not working

Just trying to watch some stuff on Apple TV that is on the iMac.

 

Home sharing is turned on on the iMac, but the Apple TV is still telling me to turn on home sharing.


I have checked the wifi network is the same, but still not working.

 

Any suggestions?

    Hey Iain, 

    I understand that you are having issues seeing your iMac on your Apple TV through Home Sharing. Let's go over some additional things you can do to get this working. 

    I know you have check the same networks, but have you check to make sure you are using the same Apple ID? This can be on contributing factor as to why it doesn't show up. Another thing to consider is making sure iTunes is up to date on your iMac. One thing that can throw things off is your firewall. If you are blocking the incoming traffic, then the Apple TV can't see your iMac. Take a look at the article below for more details to sort this out.
