Can home sharing work if I use Norton Antivirus?

My iMac (21.5 in., late 2009, running 10.10.1) is having trouble home sharing music with my brand new iPad mini (running 8.1.2). I get the unable to open home sharing message on the mini. I'm also running Norton Anti-virus (v. 12.7).
I don't see any messages that Norton is blocking anything at the time that I try so set up sharing?
Is it Norton? What else could it be, and how to I diagnose/fix it?

You don't really need Norton anti-virus and could remove it.
Unless you are running Windows &/or sharing, w/ their issues.
That software could be blocking more than it needs or it
may be employing a Firewall all its own. & OS X has one.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

  • Can home sharing work with the ipad2?

    Does home sharing apply to the iPad2?  I'm looking for alternates to syncing since I am having trouble with syncing
    the device from my computer.  Itunes begins to freeze shortly after syncing begins-even the apple senior tech was confused?  Any ideas?

    It works with the first gen iPad, and I can see no reason why it wouldn't work on the second gen (there is info on how to enable home sharing here http://www.apple.com/itunes/inside-itunes/2011/03/itunes-102-and-ios-43-extend-h ome-sharing-playback-to-your-mobile-devices.html)

  • HT3819 I have an intel iMac OS 10.6.8 with iTunes 11.0.2 and an Apple TV with software 5.2. Home sharing worked fine until I added a VoIP device to my wired ethernet network. Now Apple TV cannot recognize my computer. How can I reconfigure?

  • HT202213 can home sharing link automatically or do I have to connect each time after connection is lost ie if i leave house for day with phone do I have to connect shared library again on phone in evening when back in house?

    Can home sharing link automatically or do I have to connect each time after connection is lost ie if i leave house for day with iphone or ipad do I have to connect shared library again on iphone/ipad in evening when back in house? It would be good if it just links automatically

    Well then maybe I misunderstood what you meant even though now that you explained it again, I should have though about that.
    When you leave the house in the morning with your device, you lose the connection to the library because you are no longer on the same WiFi network as you are at home. You have to be on the same network in order to use Home Sharing. Once you get home again, you have to select the Shared Library again.
    I apologize for the confusion or misunderstanding.

    See this post.
    Assuming AVG is involved there is a new patch which may resolve the issue. Update AVg before attempting to recover the library.

  • HT4557 Does home sharing work for apps? The instructions make it sound as though home sharing really only allows you to stream content.

    Does home sharing work for apps? My young son received iPad mini for Christmas, and I don't want him to have to repurchase the games and other raps I'd already bought for him that are resident on my iPad.

    does Home Sharing allow you to copy any item begtween libraries, including CDs you have ripped yourself
    It certainly allows you to copy ripped CDs. Just did that myself last week.

    No. Home sharing is done from your iTunes library on your computer, not from one iDevice to another iDevice.

  • HT201413 I cannot get home sharing working, using windows 8 . does anyone have a solution?

    i cannot get home sharing on itunes to work using windows 8. I also have Norton 360 and have unstalled and disabled it but still cannot get home sharing to operate so that i can use the remote APP on my ipad to control music through the house. does anyone have a solution or experienced similar issue?

    Hi Pat,
    Yes I marked the question as Assumed Answered. I needed to move on. I have never taken part in a forum and couldn’t wait any longer for any input so not wanting anyone to waste the time answering me, I marked the question as assumed answered. I guess this was the wrong thing to do and I apologize to the forum.
    I did go another route and loaded and enlarged the photo in Photoshop Elements, Then cropped the photo to the area I needed to reprint. I probably should have done this in the first place!
    Again, my apology to the forum for my lack of patience in waiting for a reply.

  • Can home sharing function work in the same school wifi environment?

    Hi, there:
       I'm wondering can I use home sharing function on campus (same building, same school wifi) between two mac (mac mini & macbook pro)? I truned on both home sharing funciton using the same Apple ID, but it didn't work. Does it mean I cannot use this function in school? If it's workable, how should I do?

    That is really crappy. Oh well thank you

  • Can't find Apple TV Sync Menu; No ATV in iTunes, Home Sharing works

    OK,  I'm about to give up...  My computer shows up in Apple TV (2nd Gen) in the ATV home sharing computer list but I am unable to find any reference to a sync menu or any options to force the sync to occur.   I find references here in the support community to ATV showing up in iTunes.   I can't find that anywhere.   My firewall is off.  I am using a Time Machine as my wireless router. 
    I've seen screen shots of a tabbed window explaining how to set up "sync" but I've never seen that window before.   (see this link
    http://web.mac.com/gartside1104/ATV/SyncvStream.html  ).   Is this an ATV1 / ATV2 / iTunes / Windows only feature?.   I'm running OS 10.6.8 with latest updates, latest version of iTunes.  Just updated the Apple TV software.    I never see more than one library from my network at a time in ATV.  I can directly connect to any computer to share via home sharing but I can't select a library to stream from in ATV (ATV1 feature only?)   I can stream to the ATV from any network computer's shared iTunes library. 
    Just baffled here...     Lots of hints but no answers.  
    My primary purpose was to limit the playlists in iTunes that will show up in ATV.   The iTunes preferences for sharing on my local network successfully limit my sharing to specific playlists to other computers on the network, but ATV provides access to ALL playlists.  Does home sharing use a different playlist selector than network sharing? 
    I set out to drain the swamp but am just wrestling with alligators.

    My computer shows up in Apple TV (2nd Gen) in the ATV home sharing computer list but I am unable to find any reference to a sync menu or any options to force the sync to occur.
    The Apple TV2 doesn't sync, it's a streaming only device.
    I find references here in the support community to ATV showing up in iTunes.
    Only the Apple TV 1 shows up under the Devices list in iTunes.
    I've seen screen shots of a tabbed window explaining how to set up "sync" but I've never seen that window before.   (see this link
    http://web.mac.com/gartside1104/ATV/SyncvStream.html  ).   Is this an ATV1 / ATV2 / iTunes / Windows only feature?.
    Yes that's only for the Apple TV 1
    I never see more than one library from my network at a time in ATV.
    Are you using the same details for homesharing on each computer.
    I can directly connect to any computer to share via home sharing but I can't select a library to stream from in ATV (ATV1 feature only?)
    Sorry I don't understand that, could you explain please.
    I can stream to the ATV from any network computer's shared iTunes library.
    That sounds correct.
    but ATV provides access to ALL playlists.
    Yes unfortunately their is no way to restrict content that can be seen by the Apple TV2

  • Can I use home sharing (on my mac using my other computers library) even if I'm not in a WiFi zone?

    I have used Home-Sharing on my Dell Laptop and now my Mac. My mac uses the Dell's library and I was wondering whether I would have to be using the same WiFi code or whether I could be on a different WiFi or even have none and still use it?

    You'd need both computers to be connecting to the same wifi network in order to Home Share.

  • I don't know why I can't open Home Sharing working now?

    I don't know what's wrong?
    Today, when I turned on Apple TV, it can't connect to my iMac. (internet is workable and can be detected by Apple TV)
    I tried to re-open Home Sharing, but it's strange that "Sharing" selection can't be kept in iTune List when I issued "Done".
    What's wrong to my iTune? What's wrong to my Home Sharing ?
    Thanks, and please help.

    iPad-settings, movies, home sharing. Music-home sharing. Both under settings on the iPad. Enter your apple I'd and password in both spots.  If you have a computer, turn on homesharing on iTunes as well. Homesharing has to be all turned on with the SAME apple I'd. Even if it's your iPad and a wife's iPad, pick one apple I'd and put that apple I'd in both of those spots even if it's not your iPad. Kinda confusing.

  • Can home sharing be used from two different homes?

    I was wondering if you connect Home Sharing from two different homes is it possibly to share the music?

    The primary constraint is that Home Sharing uses the same wifi network for sharing/streaming between computers/devices. So if the wifi network stretches across multiple houses, it should be possible. But if the houses are on different wifi networks, I'm afraid you're out of luck.
