apple TV and iTunes will not share

When I first set up my Apple TV, there was no problem. However, since the last few IOS updates, my Apple TV no longer responds to my computer. I get Error 5507. Anybody know what this is all about? It will no longer Home Share from iTunes, nor can I even get it to 'see' my computer.

Any ideas appreciated.

(really unhappy with Apple right now!)

Thanks,

Nancy

Apple TV 4K not connecting to iTunes via Home Sharing My Apple TV 4K just has been working perfectly until a problem occured yesterday. I have Home Sharing turned on in iTunes on my iMac, until yesterday that worked fine on the Apple TV. Now I get a message on the Apple TV that it will not connect on my AppleID. The troubleshooting I have tried is: Turn off Home Sharing on computer, Quit iTunes, restart iTunes then turn on Home Sharing Restart Apple TV Reset NVRAM on computer Restart in Safe Mode on computer Note: I use a Google Mesh network that has a perfect connection. All other apps on the Apple TV seem to work fine. None of the above works and I continue to not be able to access my iTunes library via Home Sharing. What additional troubleshooting can I try?

Why doesn't Apple TV connect with iTunes ? Here's the thing. I'm an irregular user of my Apple TV (3rd generation) last time, say 6 months ago. SO.. I went to use it a couple of days a go to cast a movie file and Apple TV does not see my iTunes library. I connected Applecare on a few occasions and I spent an inordinate amount of time with two Apple techs to no avail. We did everything, off/on with sharing on both devices several times. Apple TV has been reset, been restored, restarted. All connections unplugged and replugged to PC, Modem, Wi-Fi router.. EVERYTHING. Anti-virus turned off. Windows firewall off. STILL no joy. Home Sharing is NOT seen by Apple TV. TV set connects to wi-fi perfectly, (netflix etc.) internet is smooth and fast. PC is connected to wi-fi via ethernet cable. Both PC and Apple TV are on the same network. I was told we have exhausted all troubleshooting scenarios. Also that Apple engineering will be able to assist due to the age of the device. THIS essentially means 'go buy a new one, we want more money out of you'. Anyone know what is going on here. I'm pulling whats left of my hair out!!
