- The first step is to go to iTunes on your computer and go to Advanced at the top.

- Turn on home sharing by entering your iTunes Account name and password.

- If you're using the same Account name on your computer that you used setting up AppleTV, then you should be connected.

- Go to Computers on your AppleTV's main menu to see your media library.

- You'll see your media laid out similar to how it would be on an iPod. Keep in mind it may take a while to load your library for the first time.

- Select any item that you want to play and you can press and hold the select button to see more options.

- One nice thing about watching videos on the AppleTV is that it allows you to resume videos from where you stopped watching them.
