I have a Windows 7 Desktop and home sharing won't work to my Windows 8 laptop?

My Windows 7 computer is recongnizing my laptop for home sharing, but my Windows 8 laptop won't recognize the home sharing with the desktop. Both computers are authorized and home sharing is on. HELP! I followed the process on the "How to move your music to a new computer" page.

  • Can't export to thumbdrive.  I have saved to a folder on the desktop, and it still won't work.  Do I need to change a setting?

    Can't export photos to a thumbdrive.  I have saved them to a folder on the desktop, and it still won't work.  Do I need to change a setting?

    I have saved them to a folder on the desktop, and it still won't work.
    What still won't work?  You have the photos in a folder on the Desktop, right?  So what happens when you drag that folder onto the thumbdrive? Many such drives have a slider lock switch.  Make sure it's not in the locked position. 
    Otherwise give us more detailed info on your setup and issue.

  • I have Cisco TelePresence SX10 and content sharing is not working when I am dialing through the bridge

    I have Cisco TelePresence SX10 and content sharing is not working when I am dialing through the bridge, I can share the content if I drag and drop from RMX, but if schedule the call in Resource manager or manually dial in from device the content is not going to other hand, I have tried to turn off encryption as well but still same issue. can you please help me out with this. I am from Lion co and purchased sx 10 recently.
    regards
    Hemang

    Can you please provide us with a little more information on your systems and configuration / topology, such as, what call control are you using (Cisco VCS, CUCM, other?). what type of "Bridge" are you using (is this a Cisco MCU, or Cisco TelePresence Server, or other device?), what versions of the software are on each of the devices, etc.  The more information we have about your environment will help us assist you better.  But saying that, if all your core equipment isn't Cisco, you may have more luck in the forums for the manufacturer of such equipment (ie Polycom's Support Community).

    I have an iPhone 5 and my apps won't work on LTE but they will when I'm connected to wifi. Am I the only 1?

    I am having the same problem. I am not able to load ESPN or any of its affiliated apps. I also tried craigslist and ebay using safari and no luck. I tried contacting ESPN and they told me to contact AT&T. So I have been chatting with an AT&T rep for about an  hour and haven't had any luck. Some friends who also have AT&T are having the same problems, while those with Verizon are working fine. I'm from the St. Louis are if that's any help.

  • TS2972 Windows 8 and home sharing on itunes 11?

    Hello, I just got a new windows 8 laptop and downloaded iTunes. I authorized my computer for home sharing since I had an old windows 7 laptop but none of my music is coming or transferring between computers. Any ideas what I need to do to get all of my music from my old computer to my new computer? The troubleshooting page doesn't help at all.

    OK, tried everything and finally found a suggestion on another forum to disable IPv6
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929852
    There is a Fix It app from MS that will do it for you. So far it is working, Home Sharing is back as well as the Apple TV 1st Gen which was also gone. But not before I rolled back to iTunes 10 and now I'm having Library error issues with my iOS devices, I hope I had found this solution before
    Bottom lines is that iTunes for Windows appears not to be designed or certified to work well on IPv6. Good that IPv6 won't become the sole standard for many years, although roll out just began

  • Airplay and home sharing does not work with my 2nd gen apple tv

  • Home Sharing will not work with my Windows 8 64bit with new itunes.  All of my Apple TVs will not see my library and my iphones will not function with the "Remote" App.  They all did before.  Only thing that has changed is new PC/itunes.  Any Ideas?

    Installed a new Windows PC on my home network.  PC is Windows 8/64bit. with latest version of itunes 11.1.4.62 for 64bit.  My itunes works, but I can not get Home Sharing to function now.  None of my Apple TV's can see my computer library and prompt me to turn it on.  All of my iphones, pods, pad, can not use the "Remote" app.  When you prompt your phone in Remote App to "add library" and you get the code....iTunes doesnt give you the remote screen where you can enter the code.  I have reloaded iTunes, reset my router, updated all devices.  You can turn on "Home Sharing" on iTunes, but then it closes and doesnt seem to link my devices like it use to.  Also, when the new version of iTunes is up on my PC, you can see the other devices to AirPlay to like you could before.  However, I can send items from my iphone to stream to an Apple TV, I just cant link them all like I could before and control the music playing to multiple Apple TV.  Growing fustrated.  Any ideas, would be helpful.

    You are a legend!!  I have spent countless hours uninstalling, reinstalling itunes, playing with firewall settings, reading articles on this problem!!  I only have to un-sync my iphone 5 and then the airplay icon magically appeared!!!  Maybe I have too many devices syncing via wi-fi, or maybe it is the Iphone syncing??
    Whatever - one step and now I can enjoy my music through my house again!
    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you 

  • Home sharing does not work as standard windows user

    I have two computers in my home network - Windows 7 Professional Desktop and a Windows 7 Professional Laptop.
    Both running latest itunes 11 software.
    Win7 Desktop has two accounts: Administrator and JB (a standard user)
    Win7 Laptop has two accounts: Administrator and JB (a standard user)
    Home Sharing is enabled on both using the same apple ID.
    I can log in on the desktop as JB/standard user and see my apple TV.
    I can log in on my laptop as JB/standard user and do NOT see my apple TV ( the airplay icon is just missing).
    Additionally - I do not see "shared" libraries on either machine.
    On the laptop, if i open itunes by "run as administartor" I am then able to see the other "shared library" and ALSO see the apple tv Airplay icon.
    Not able to figure out why I cant see home sharing or the apple tv Airplay icon unless I run as an administrator on the laptop.

    Our Apple TVs continue to lose connection ever since installing Mountain Lion on the host computer. The only thing that fixes them is to quit and relaunch iTunes, which only works unti the ATV goes to sleep. If a movie is paused for more than a few minutes and the ATV goes to sleep, pressing play again on the remote is greeted with "There are no movies on this computer" or "Turn on Home Sharing."
    If we stop a video on one ATV and attempt to resume it in another room, the error begins again. The other ATV can't connect until iTunes is relaunched.
    My guess is that it has something to do with the new [annoying] security settings. But I still haven't found a fix other than restarting iTunes everytime we want to watch something from our downloads. Fail.

  • Changed my Apple User Name (email address) and home sharing no longer works?, Changed my Apple User Name (email address) and home sharing no longer works?

    I've had the 2nd generation Apple TV since this past October when it was released and it has worked fine until I recently changed my Apple User Name (email address). After changing my user name my Apple TV and iPhone 4 no longer find my shared network. Home sharing is enabled on all devices, including my Sony Vaio Laptop, iPhone4, and Apple TV 2nd generation. Everything else has remained constant, including service provider, router, modem, and internet security (Trend Micro). Also, my library is on a networked hard drive, which didnt seem to make a difference before, but I figured I'd mention it. Any thoughts?
    Thanks.

    Winston,
    Thank you for the information.  He confirmed that the ID and password are the same on every device.  This only started happending when he changed his User Name with Apple. 
    --Itunes is running on a Windows Vista Machine (Sony Vaio)
    --He has an Apple TV (2nd Gen)
    --He has an iPhone 4
    Can you tell me more about the technologies that apple uses to make "homesharing" work?  Do you think he may need to remove then re-install Bonjour?

  • Turn on home sharing won't work to watch home movies on Apple TV

    I have Apple TV 3rd generation.  I transferred home movies from my MAC to my Apple TV.  I have gone to Apple TV and then Computers and clicked it and there are my home movies.  Many times however a message appears to "Turn on my Home Sharing".  So I go to my computer and File and first have to turn off and then turn on and put in password and Done.  Usually this works but I keep getting the same message and cannot see the home movies.  Unplugged Apple TV, unplugged modem and router.  Still not working.  Any suggestions?  thanks

  • Home sharing won't work

    I have been using homesharing to share music files between my laptop and imac for a couple months now, and all of a sudden it has stopped working. I've tried all the common troubleshooting solutions (i.e. disconnecting and reconnecting router, turning home sharing on and off, system reboots, sharing preferences) and nothing has fixed it. Right now I'm stuck on the default homesharing screen where it says, "Home Sharing is now on. Use the same account when turning on Home Sharing for your other computers." I can't get past this point, please help!

  • Apple Remote App or Home Sharing won't work on iPhone or iPad with iTunes (Win 7)

    Hi,
    After I updated my Remote App (version 4.0) on my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.0.3) and iPad-3rd generation (iOS 7.0.3) and updated my iTunes (Version 11.1.3.8) on Win 7, I no longer can get Apple Remote App to work or my Home Sharing to work with Music/Videos for shared library.
    I've followed every step in troubleshooting for Remote App (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1741) with system requirements, proper iTunes settings, Home Sharing setup, Network connections, restarting the network router, and checking firewall settings.  I've also done every setp in troubleshooting for Home Sharing (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972).
    I've done multiple combinations of signing out on both iDevices and iTunes with Home Sharing, turning them on in different orders, closing and re-opening the apps and iTunes, restarting the iDevices and my computer.  No matter what I do, nothing works.
    I've even tried taking my computer and iDevices with me to different routers (work, home, friend's house, etc.) to see if it was a router problem, but no matter what I do it will not work.  I am looking forward to getting an Apple TV soon, but if these problems persist, the outcome of that possibility is unlikely.
    Are any of you experiencing problems like this?  I could really use some help.
    Thanks for all your support.

    I just ran iTunes Diagnostics (Help --> Run Diagnostics... --> "Check" Network connectivity tests).
    I found this:
    Windows Firewall is on.
    iTunes is NOT enabled in Windows Firewall.
    Connection attempt to Apple web site was successful.
    Connection attempt to browsing iTunes Store was successful.
    Connection attempt to purchasing from iTunes Store was successful.
    Connection attempt to iPhone activation server was successful.
    Connection attempt to firmware update server was successful.
    Connection attempt to Gracenote server was successful.
    I checked my Firewall settings (Windows Security Essentials) one more time, and it IS enabled for Home/Work (Private) and Public.
    I think I'm going to uninstall and reinstall iTunes and see if that helps.
