Hi

Bit of a strange one here. We have a bunch of AppleTV's all connected wirelessly over 6 Access Points. 8 ATV's in Total. Strange thing is the iTunes Library (Wired) can see them all and we can stream anything over Airplay from that computer to the ATV's both Movies and Music. But when we try to go from the ATV and connect to the iTunes library it just either says cannot connect to library or just gets stuck on the Connecting to Library page. Have been scouring the net but have had no luck so far. Everything is fully updated to the latest software versions as well.

If you guys have any ideas.. Im all ears!

Cheers
Justin

Hello there,

Have you got 'Home Sharing' turned on in iTunes? In ATV/Settings/Computers it should tell you also.
