For some reason it tells me it's connected to my computer but wont show any of my music? Getting sick of NOTHING working after Apple update anything. They must be the WORST firmware updater ever.

Yeah, I get that a bit. A reboot always fixes it.

Yeah I've done numerous reboots, thinking reset is next?

Do a reset - it's not uncommon to have to do... whether Apple / Android / other.

Reboot the computer (and even router if you are having no joy). I've had this a few times. I store my iTunes media on a NAS and always have to refresh the IP address of the computer/NAS and/or apple TV's after an update or else I get the same issue. The Apple TV sees that I have a liabrary but can not access it.

Rebooted, reset, unplugged, replugged, reloaded, reinstalled, uninstalled

Nothing, it still wont load my library despite being able to see it.

Am done, off to buy a Logitech Squeezebox Touch and my last piece of Apple cr$p is now a paper weight.

As an aside...
Have you tried re-installing iTunes? As it may be an issue on your PC, not with the Apple TV?

Want to sell your paperweight then? :-)

In all seriousness, have you looked at jailbreaking and installing XBMC? Works much better. If you did want to sell, I'd buy it from you to do myself...
