How do I go about activating and utilizing home sharing?

My 15 yr old son uses my itunes account. I want to get him on his own. Is there a way to move his purchased music from my account to his?

I'm having second thoughts here... maybe it should I should do it in After Effects and export it as a flash?
Anyone?

    Hi Monty,
    Sorry to say it, but this is normal for Apple TVs. I've owned a TV2 and a TV3, and neither lasted for an entire year. They are quite fragile and of low quality, and as you can see here, quite fussy even when they work. The wi-fi receiver on these are cheap and unreliable.
    Consider the $99 an annual rental fee. They rarely work for a whole year, so if you are going to use the platform, you will have to replace them constantly.
    Also, when one dies under warranty, never, never send it to Apple for repair. Go to the Apple Store for replacement. I sent my ATV3 in for warranty repair using a box sent to me by Apple, and although FedEx tracking showed it was accepted by Apple, it was never seen again. Apple won't replace it or even return my calls.

  • Can anyone offer some advice i am looking to upgrade the OS system on one of my macbook pro's, currently running os10.4.11, I would like to upgrade to OS10.5? how would I go about this, and is there a cost, for what is an old operating system now?

    Since your Mac probably came with 10.4, there is no longer a way to get 10.5 Leopard install media. IF it has the requirements, you may be able to upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard by buying the boxed install media at the Apple Store for $30.

  • Home sharing stops working with Apple TV after about one hour.. Apple TV drops my MAC and says Home Sharing not available.

    Hey there, Ihave the latest firmware update on my Apple TV 2. I have Lion with latest updates installed.
    I have home sharing turned on in iTunes 10 no issues their
    Network is set up as such.. Apple TV hardwired with Ethernet Cable, MAC where iTunes resides is WiFi on a dual band wireless N network. No dropped connections, network showing in perfect connected status.. All other home networking functions working perfectly. No wireless or ethernet disruptions.
    Apple TV works perfect for about one hour then all of a sudden stops and says home sharing is turned off.. but it's not. Double checked iTunes on the MAC, home sharing still set up no issues. I restart iTunes.. does not help, reboot MAC does not help. Reset Apple TV doesn't help.
    About an hour later, home sharing shows up in Apple TV again..
    Anyone else experience this? Any thoughts as to why Home Sharing on the Apple TV stops by itself when no changes are occuring?

  • HT202213 I have 3 users on one computer with 3 unique user accounts.  Each have unique ITunes accounts.  How do we share our music libraries using home sharing?

    I have 3 users on one computer with 3 unique user accounts.  Each of us have separate and unique ITunes accounts.  How do we share our music libraries using Home Sharing?  Everything that I can find talks about sharing between networked computers, but this is all on the same computer.  I just want to share between ITunes accounts.  Thanks!

    Hi b noir, I also have two users on one pc with two different iTunes libraries.  But I also want to put them onto an external hard drive so that I can free up some memory on the pc.  So I figure I need to consolidate the two users iTunes libraries first before moving to hard drive?  But not quite sure how to do that on the iTunes 11?  Thanking you in advance!!

  • TS2972 enable my tv entertainment provider on my home network - then updated "a newer" modem and now home sharing just stopped home sharing

    Only 2 changes to my home network set up: #1 - I installed a "new model modem" recommended by my ISP provided, and #2 I had my tv entertainment provider install their modem to the TV receiver box for accessing my home network and now home sharing will not home share. 
    I original had enabled, and all devices are still set up for home share - that's laptops, iphones, ipods, and ipads.
    Any suggestions?  I understand these modem most have ports 123, 3689, and 5353 opened for itunes and the home sharing.
    Now I am stumped on how to verify these settings.
    Is it possible for me to verify these ports on these modems; how?  Or is it just wiser to contact these providers and have their technicans investigate this issue?  OR is it possible I am missing an even easier route to cure this ailment I have created unintentionally in my quest for connectivity between all things electronically capable and on the same secure network?
    Oh, using PC w/WDW7 if this helps, and one other annoying detail, which confuses this entire issue of mine, the Home Share, pops on for a few minutes, and then disappears.  So yes, I am confused, it is there, and then it is not!.

    Scan the Support Community sites. Apple TV losing connection is prevalent. The many postings point out the problem occurs with Apple TV1,2and 3; with different brands of router including Airport Extreme; from current and past versions of iTunes; after varying periods of working well.....minutes, hours, days; losing connection with Home Sharing and loosing Airplay; whether the router and Apple TV are in same room or separated by distance; after trying innumerable posted 'fixes'; after exchanging for a new Apple TV.
    Readers, please don't post a fix until you check it works for atleast a week.

  • Changed routers and now home sharing libraries are not found.

    I have recently changed routers in my home and now my home sharing library is not found . I have checked IP address I have connection and when home sharing is turned on the nextwork name pops up on the screen. however none of my movies or libraries are there and it times out. All worked fine before I changed the router and the only reason I changed was due to the old router being 15 years old and I would loose connection about every 15 to 30 min when streaming. please help Apple support says it the router , router support says its apple, router is NETGEAR N60 Duel Band

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It may be your router settings, but as you were having some issues prior to changing your router, it may well be interference, start by trying a different wifi channel.

  • HT202213 I need to delete computers that are no longer active from my home sharing account, how do I do this?

    I need to delete computers that are no longer active from my itunes Home sharing account so that I can sign up the new computers.  I am using a Mac laptop. The computers that were previously linked to the Homesharing are no longer available, they have been wiped and are not in the house anymore.   Does anyone know how to do this?

    The apps aren't stored in your personal iCloud account and don't use any of your storage.  They are only stored in the App store.  The iCloud symbols are only links to your previous purchases in the App store so you can download them again.  If you don't want to see certain apps, you can hide them in iTunes on your computer as explained here: iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.  Once hidden in iTunes, you should no longer see them on your phone.

  • How to allow a second Apple ID to home sharing and iTunes Match

    Hi
    I the following setup:
    Family iMac with Apple ID #1
    MacBook Pro with Apple ID #1
    Apple TV 2nd Gen with Apple ID #1
    iPhone 3Gs with Apple ID #1 (connected for iRemote App)
    iPad 1st Generation with Apple ID #1 (connected for iRemote App)
    Here is what I want to do:
    I wld like to enable my wife's MacBook Air with Apple ID #2 to be part of Home Sharing so she can access our joint library
    I have used my Apple ID #1 to activate Home Sharing on MacBook Air (i.e. following the instruction  "use the same Apple ID for all shared computers and devices")
    I receive the following message: HS could not be activated because this computer is not authorized for the account "[email protected]". Would you like to authorize now?
    If I do I get the following message: There was an error storing your authorization information on this computer.
    The required file was not found or has a permission orror. Correct this permission problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed.
    This is where I am stuck in the process: can anybody help?
    In addition I was wondering if my wife yould also make use of my subscription to iTunes Match since it refers t the same familiy music library. Any thoughts and/or instructions on that would be helpful as well
    Cheers,

    Can I create a 4th 'Apple ID' for our home sharing?
    yes.
    Would we still be able to listen to each others libraries?
    yes.
    a single iTunes can be authorized for up to five iTunes store accounts.
    Would we still be able to copy songs from one another, like I can with my 1 account between computers?
    yes.
    Are there any other downsides to creating a separate account for home sharing?
    none i'm aware of.

  • On my apple tv it says "to access iTunes library, turn on home sharing. I've done this and my home sharing is turned on my computer, but there are no computers being listed under the computer option on my apple tv? How do I connect them?

    Does anyone know how to get homesharing working right? I have it on my computer and it shows that it is sharing, but on my apple tv it says that it is not working when I look under the computer tabs...?

    You mention doing all of the above, what would that be exactly?

  • How many ATV2's can I use with home sharing at once?

    I am installing a fairly large home network. I have 10 ATV2's I would like to use on 1 network using home share, all will be connected via ethernet. Is there a limit to how many atv2's I can have connection one itunes account with home share or a limit using the remote app?

    It used to be a limit of about 5 AppleTVs per iTunes library with AppleTV 1 but that registered them as devices rather than using Home Sharing.
    I suspect but don't know for sure that Home Sharing has to be more liberal as Home Sharing now works to portable devices like iPads too, and if the household had a couple of AppleTV2's, iPhoness and iPads they could reach 5 very quickly.
    Having said that we just don't know.  There is a limit of sharing to 5 computers with Home Sharing, so it's possible the same applies to individual device types, we just don't seem to know from the support docs posted.
    Personally I'd be surprised if 5 was the limit as under the old system if you ran out of 'Devices' in itunes you could set up another computer for the next 5 and so forth.  Home Sharing on the other hand just shares to a particular account so you'd see all libraries shared from a particular account on all AppleTVs.

  • How can I un-share media categories using Home Sharing & Apple TV?

    I just got an Apple TV device, which is working wonderfully so far.
    I would like to only share the category MOVIES with my Apple TV, and disable my music, home movies, podcasts, etc. I am having difficulty seeing how to change this preference.
    I see in the iTunes/Preferences/Sharing there is a way to limit what portions of the library can be shared, but I do not see a similar preference for limiting what is shared in Home Sharing.
    Is what I want to do possible? Thanks in advance. C
