Q: Apple TV 2nd Gen no longer compatible with iTunes 12.4
Apparently when the last update to iTunes occurred it created a conflict with my Apple TV 2nd Gen where it no longer allows connection via Home Sharing and when I go to reset it by connecting directly to my iMac it gives the following error message:
I'm running iTunes 12.4.1.6 which was updated on Friday June 3rd, 2016.
So, do I have a brick of an Apple TV or do I need to roll iTunes back to an earlier version? To answer a question you may have, yes I brought it by an Apple Store, they were able to restore it to factory settings and verified my Apple ID and had it loaded back onto the AppleTV prior to me leaving the store.
Then, when I got the unit home, it still stated that it did not recognize my Apple ID and needed to activate Home Sharing (which is working fine for my 3 iPhones, 3 iPads, 1 other AppleTV, iMac, 2 MacBooks (one Air, one Pro) and 4 iPods) when I tried to reconnect everything back together.
iMac (20-inch Early 2009), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), iTunes 12.3.2.35
