I want to connect my ipad mini to my Apple TV. There isn't a option when I double tap on my ipad button for connecting to the tv and I also can't connect to home sharing from my iTunes settings. Can someone talk to me in simple terms. Thanks
So I have a ipad min. I want to connect it to my Apple TV. There is no option on my ipad for home sharing which my Apple TV is telling me to do.
Can somebody please just explain it to me in simple terms where I can find the home sharing and what I have to do to connect my Apple TV to the ipad or vice versa.
Everything I have bought from apple in the past month has been a complete let down its taking far to long to connect things and the people who sell the products to you lie about what the product does and can do.
Can someone help me please
Thanks
AirPlay isn't anything to do with homesharing. (Home sharing lets you share the iTunes libraries on computers)
Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
Restart your mobile device.

I'm 67 yrs. old.I live in the U.K. I want to use my credit in i-tunes to find the Yoga Studio app. for my MacBook Air laptop.All I can find are apps. for i-phones,i-pads and i-pods.Can anyone help please.
Apps for OSX aren't in iTunes: they are in the App Store in your Applications folder. The payment method is the one registered in iTunes. There's no app actually called Yoga Studio, though there are several Yoga apps. There is an iOS app called Yoga Studio but it appears to have no OSX equivalent, though I haven't done a detailed search.

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?

I want to buy an ipad2 3g in the USA and wanted to find out if the 3g will work with a South African sim card or is it locked to a US service provider.
Make sure you get the GSM (AT&T) model, not the Verizon model.
By the way, this forum is for the iPod touch, not the iPad.

I wanted to have iMac with finest customization but in India it is not available. Just the corporate sales get the priveledge of customization and that too from HongKong with a waiting period of 5-8 weeks Why?
Even Indians like me deserve the best and I seriously request you guys should allow us to go for customization options as well! Like why to stick with i5 when you are having i7 :|You need to ask Apple these questions. You're not talking to Apple here only other users.

So, I have created my home sharing from my base computer to my laptop. On my lap top I see the tab for home sharing but it will not let me connect to my computer to share my music over. I have done everything iTunes has told me to but it still won't work. Any help would make my day...
I got some more info that may help.
I put a cd on my laptop, and was able to share it to my computer... So the problem is only from my computer to my laptop. I tried the firewall thing and it did not help. I read the rest of the trouble shooting page, and nothing else applies. iTunes is an execption and already was. I can not think of anything else being my problem. Do you think I should re-install iTunes or would that be a waste of time? At this point I am about to just call Apple for some help because I am getting to stressed over this.

When I click on the Music tab on my Apple TV 2, a message tells me I have to set up iTunes Match to stream music from my iTunes library on my iMac. I don't want to set up and pay for iTunes Match. How can I get back to the pre-Match system which let me just use home sharing to stream music from computer to Aple TV
Ditto.
You need to look for your itunes library under Computers and select it, then music.
Music column is for web based content not local content, just to confuse everyone.

Hi,
We have just purchased Apple TV and can't connect to Home Sharing. We have wifi, the iPad is updated. I can't find the link on ITunes on the iPad that the tv is telling me to click. I've also tried turning it on via settings then music which seems to be connected. I can view YouTube clicks on the tv, but not an app so I can watch the footy. What am I doing wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
ThanksMake sure your Apple TV is on the same network as your iPad. The SSID and password of router must be set in your Apple TV.

I have tried getting to my account to watch netflix on my apple tv and it says that it can not connect to the server. I have tried resetting the atv, my router and the remote and it still isnt wrorking. Anytime i try to connect to home sharing it will ask me to try again later. So frustrating!!! Please help
I was having a similar problem. My devices weren't waking my iMac. My airport is in bridge mode connected by Ethernet to Verizon router. My Mac was connected to my airport by Ethernet also. With this configuration my devices would not see my iTunes libraries. I ended up disconnecting the Ethernet between airport and Mac. Turned my Mac wifi on, connected to my wi fi network. Now with my Mac sleeping my devices can see the iTunes library and wake the Mac when needed.
Not sure if you can use this info but there it is. -

Hi
What you need to do is enable home sharing in settings >iPod>home sharing is one of the options log on and away you go
In the iPod app it should show up in library
Remember that iTunes must be open on you computer to work
Happy sharing -
Can i put music on another library after home sharing from my new laptop?
I used home sharing to share the music, but i want to be able to add music on the other library from my new laptop
Is there a way to do this?Hello shrutisk1,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
You can use Home Sharing to transfer the music to other computers by following the directions below.
Home Sharing is an easy way to keep all your iTunes libraries in sync across multiple computers at your house. For more information on Home Sharing and syncing your library between two computers, read iTunes: Understanding Home Sharing.
Note: This option allows you to share music between multiple computers if you continue to use both, but it doesn't create a lasting backup. To create a lasting backup, use an external drive or CDs or DVDs.
Home Sharing requires
iTunes 9 or later.
An Apple ID that is also an iTunes or App Store Account. If you need to, you can create an iTunes or App Store account without a credit card.
An active Internet connection.
A Local Area Network connection (Ethernet or Wi-Fi), such as one created by a router.
Follow the steps below to use Home Sharing to copy your music between your old computer which has the music on it already, and a new computer.
Be sure iTunes 9 or later is installed on both computers.
Open iTunes on both computers.
On your old computer:
If Home Sharing is already enabled, iTunes 11 or later displays the option to Turn Off Home Sharing (Account) under the File > Devices menu. If this is the case, proceed to step 7. Otherwise, choose:
iTunes 11 or later: File > Devices > Turn On Home Sharing from the menu bar.
iTunes 9 or 10: Advanced > Turn On Home Sharing from the menu bar.
Select the Home Sharing icon on the left side of iTunes from where you select music, movies, or TV shows.
When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Create Home Share.
On your new computer:
Click the Store menu and choose Authorize computer. Enter your Apple ID and password (that was listed in the Advanced menu in step three or used in step 5).
Choose Advanced > Turn On Home Sharing from the menu bar.
Select the Home Sharing icon on the left side of iTunes.
Note: Once Home Sharing is enabled, the Home Sharing option disappears from the left side of iTunes until a Home Share library is found from another computer.
Once your new computer sees the Home Share from your old computer, click that Home Share on the left side of iTunes on your new computer.
Select the content in the Home Share that you want to transfer to your iTunes library on your new computer, or choose Edit > Select All to choose all of it. Then, click the Import button in the bottom-right corner of iTunes.
Wait for the content to finish transferring.
