HT4527 The computer that has my i Tunes library has crashed, How do I turn off Home Sharing on this computer and tranfer my files to another computer?

How do i turn off home sharing and transfer my ITunes library to another computer?

Your music will only be where you put it.  You can download the itunes program and sign into your account on any computer, but your music/content will not be there unless you put it there.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod.  File>Transfer Purchases

  • TS2972 I have an old computer that died, how do I turn off home sharing on that computer so that I can gain back 1 of my 5 shares for my new computer?

    As far as I know you don't need to turn off home sharing as such, however you will have lost one of the 5 "authorizations". You can't release these individually unless you are running iTunes on the authorized operating system you want to deauthorize.
    You will have to wait until you have 5 authorizations, at which point you can clear them all and start over, reauthorizing the machines you want to.

  • Use 2nd gen apple tv and remote control app on iphones and ipad.  We can control some functions on the apple tv but unable to purchase, access such controls as reset, restart, turn off home sharing, etc.  Home sharing stuck on old apple ID. Please help.

    That is why I said to restore via iTunes, did you check the link?
    This will put it back to factory settings and you can set it up with the new ID once you reconnect with your HDTV. This is not done via ethernet, as per the link you need to connect to the computer via micro usb. You cannot bypass home sharing.
    FYI: An Apple ID cannot be deleted so the old one would still exist (even if you no longer use the email account it is associated with).

    If it's your account and you can't remember its password then try getting it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com
    If you can't get the password reset via that link then you will need to try contacting Support in your country and see if they can reset it for you : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    If you bought the phone used and it's the previous owner's account then you will need to contact the previous owner, only he/she will be able to remove the phone from their account : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515

    sharing does not show up on the side column ... tried turning off home sharing then turning it back on ... shared shows up untell i click "done " then its gone.

    Yes, I have also tried and failed when setting up Home Sharing.  I have followed the instruction given on the Support website, but this is all I see:
    Both computers are on the same local network and both allow Home Sharing and are signed in with the same user name. I am not sure what else to do.  Any suggestions?

  • Hi, i want to use my iphone as a remote for my itunes i have downloaded the app, turned on home shareing on my laptop and they dont seem to be talking.

    hi,
    i have dowloaded the app "remote" to use my iphone as a remote for my itunes library, i have turned on home shareing on my laptop. they dont seem to be talking to each other. i have also tried the other way of adding a library on my iphone, but my laptop wont show my phone on the devices list.
    anyhelp would be apreciated

    Turn off home sharing, you don't need that. Open Itunes Preferences from the computer. Go to the devices section. At the bottom you will see the option to add a remote access that and follow the steps.

  • I've turned off home-sharing but remote still controls computer and itunes at the same time as the TV. What gives?!

    I've turned off both home sharing and turned off the link from my computer to my remote via AppleTV but when I hit play on my remote to control appleTV, my itunes always opens and starts playing on my Macbook Pro. Has this happened to ahyone else? I cannot get it to stop. The only solution right now is to completely turn off my computer if I want to use appleTV.
    Thanks

    default then remotes control all devices unless you bind it to a device you do that in settings
    and home sharing don't have any impact on remotes

  • Can you turn off home sharing on a computer that no longer works?

    Had a laptop that died and it was authorized for home sharing. Looking at buying a new one and I'm already at the maximum level of allowable computers (5 of 5). Looking to see if there is a way to deactivate/deauthorize computers that are no longer being used. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Do you have iTunes match? You need a computer to manage an iTunes match library.

    This problem has plagued Firefox for years now, and there seems to be no end in sight for a fix.
    There are all kinds of possible solutions, some you will have found that simply do not work, b/c nobody knows why it happens.
    Some of the forum fixes include:
    1) disable hardware acceleration in Firefox
    2) use safe mode which is not a solution just makes the browser not use any plugins and the browser like its from 1995
    3) Use flash in protected mode
    I posted those because that is what you will mostly hear on these forums and someone will surely mention to you, so feel free to search and try them first if you so choose.
    I have tried all of these things in the past and were completely useless to me.
    I have found only one solution that i personally came up with that does not appear to be accepted on these forums due to the fact that nobody understand why it works, nor is willing to suggest or test it. But it has worked and the proof is in my blogs that it does work for some.
    First before we get too far into things.
    Open a cmd prompt and close Firefox.
    type or copy/pate one line at a time:
    del C:\Windows\Prefetch\PLUGIN-CONTAINER*.pf
    del C:\Windows\Prefetch\flashpl*.pf
    del C:\Windows\Prefetch\firefox*.pf
    del C:\Windows\Prefetch\FLASHPLAYERUPDATESERVICE*.pf
    del C:\Windows\Prefetch\PLUGIN-HANG*.pf
    Now open the page and test to see if that seems to help out or not. Hopefully it will.
    note: these files will eventually recreate themselves so no harm is done. it is my believe that there is stale data withing some of them that conflicts with current data.
    If this works, then head on over to:
    http://firefoxcrash.blogspot.com/2013/12/firefox-crashes-adobe-flash-player.html
    for a further explanation, and a way to keep those files cleaned.
    Also, make sure you flash players are up to date and cleared of any old installs.
    http://adobeflashcleanup.blogspot.com/ there is a bat file that will uninstall, clean up , and go to the adobe site and get and install the latest versions of flash for you. all automated
    IF not, then i am sure someone will be able to tell you what they have been telling everyone here for years.
    Best of luck

    in the command prompt would i press enter after every line that's pasted

    answer is yes
    you can also create a bat file, by simply renaming dumping the contents in a .txt file and changing the .txt to .bat
    i would recommend trying the below in bat file. This will simply keep these files clear until you close the window, and will run in a loop as said until you close. this type of fix resolved my issue, but i compiled it to an exe so it would run silently. The forum moderators seem to slander and persecute me for creating scripts even in bat where everything in bat can be seen when they are clueless to what is going on. Im trying to make an easy solution to the problems that nobody here knows how to solve
    @echo off
    :start
    del C:\Windows\Prefetch\PLUGIN-CONTAINER*.pf >nul 2>&1
    :: remove the >nul 2>&1 if you do not want to see messages like files does not exist for example
    del C:\Windows\Prefetch\flashpl*.pf >nul 2>&1
    del C:\Windows\Prefetch\firefox*.pf >nul 2>&1
    del C:\Windows\Prefetch\PLUGIN-HANG*.pf >nul 2>&1
    timeout 60
    goto :start

    am i doing right?

  • TS2972 I have set up sharing on my three computers and when I hit the Library pop up button on the top left of my computer I don't see anything but "turn off home sharing" and "get album artwork"

    I can't seem to get sharing set up. I set up my wife's iMac and I use a PC. When I click on the Library tab at the top right, I don't get the option of seeing the music library on her iMac.

    Both libraries would need to have been setup to use home sharing with the same Apple ID in order for that to work.

  • I turned off home sharing but I'm still getting my other family members' stuff. How do I fix that?f

    It says it's off but I'm still getting my other family members' stuff. Some of my family members think that it has something to do with the cloud.

    Your other family member photos or music? If it is photos, you can check out this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4379
    If it is music, check this out: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2972
    Home sharing refers specifically to sharing your own iTunes (music) library over your network.

  • I have had ATV2 for a month now and it was working great up until about 3 days ago. I used it to play music one night off home sharing from my itunes, and then the next day, it wouldnt recognize home sharing and let me use airplay/mirroring. Any thoughts?

    So when i turn on my ATV2 now, and go to computers, it doesnt recognize my computer anymore. I didnt touch anything from the previous day after it last worked, so im not sure why it suddenly stopped working. I've tried turning off/on homesharing, siging in with a different account but still using my appleid..i've reset the ATV2 to it factory settings and then reinstalled the recent update but nothing seems to be working. Whenever i turn on homesharing on my macbook pro, it akknowledges that its on, but then the little logo for homesharing goes away as soon as i click done. Not sure if that is normal or not.   Im assuming this is a prb with itunes because my photostream works off ATV2, receiving pics from my comp,but i cant seem to stream movies etc. The airplay icon is also no longer on my mac screen. I have no idea whats going on. Any ideas?
    thanks
