Q: Home Sharing and Apple Id

When trying to activate Home Sharing on a new Apple TV my Apple Id and password is not recognized. It is recognized when setting up ICloud on the same Apple TV. I am trying to be able to run a slideshow from iPhoto through Apple TV

Apple TV, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

Did you use the same Apple ID as iCloud when you setup home sharing on your computer?

Follow these procedures after you reset Apple ID password. It's not just change it and use it...
