Problem with Home Sharing. Getting the error "The Requested URL was not Found on this Server"

I recently purchased an iPhone 5. As I do with all of my AppleTVs, iPads, iPods and an iPhone 4 in my home, I connected the 5 to my home network and accessed the shared video library using home sharing. My iTunes library is roughly 85% iTunes purchases, a handful of videos taken with iOS devices, and some video ripped with Handbrake. All of these videos work fine on all devices in my home except my new iPhone 5. When I access the shared video library on my iPhone 5, all of the textual data for all of the videos appears, however, I can only get the iPhone to play 1 video of the dozens in my iTunes library. When I try to play any other, I get the error, "The Requested URL was not Found on this Server."
Interestingly, only one video in my entire shared library displays the artwork associated with it in my iTunes library on my iPhone 5, and that's the one I can stream without a problem. Even more interestingly, that video I am able to stream was ripped using Handbrake (there are a number in my library ripped using Handbrake, but just this one will stream to my iPhone 5 for some reason).
I'm using the latest version of iTunes (10.7) on my home (iMac) computer (running OSX 10.8.2- Mountain Lion)and of course iOS 6 on the iPhone 5. I've tried resetting my iPhone several times as well as restarting my iMac which holds my iTunes library.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what's going on?

Can you see if you can view index page from a browser on iPhone.
Have you seen live streams working from a different computer...
if not then check if a proper crossdomain.xml file in its place(webroot folder).

You have two choices to try & fix this: 1. Backup your phone, then restore as a new device, then restore from the backup you first created, or 2. Follow the advise from this poster:
I had the same problem with the black blocks after upgrading to iOS4 on my iPhone. The reason for the black blocks is that the thumbnail images for those particular images have not been created when the Photo Library has been updated to iOS4. I followed the advice on a couple of blogs and fixed the problem.
1. I downloaded iPhone Explorer free software (http://www.macroplant.com/iphoneexplorer/) so I could view the photo data folders on my phone. I could see that the thumbnail images were missing.
2. I followed a slight variation on the instructions on this blog. (http://blog.mbentley.net/2010/06/iphone-ios-4-upgrade-restore-lost-pictures-in-c amera-roll/)
3. First I copied the Photo Data folder by dragging it from the iPhone Explorer window to my Mac desktop.
4. Through iPhone Explorer I deleted the info.plist file in the Media/PhotoData/MISC folder.
5. I also deleted the Photos.sqlite and PhotosAux.sqlite files in Media/PhotoData.
6. I then rebooted the phone and launched the Photo Library.
7. The Library rebuilt it's self again and recreated the thumbnails.
8. The problem was fixed!!! Thank you M Bentley!
I hope this helps - this has been bugging me for 2 weeks.

I have downloaded a movie from ITunes. It shows up in my video app. When I go to play it I get an error message: "The requested URL was not found on this server". When I checked back on iTunes, where you click to rent or buy a movie it says "Downloaded"

I have downloaded a movie from ITunes. It shows up in my video app. When I go to play it I get an error message: "The requested URL was not found on this server". When I checked back on iTunes, where you click to rent or buy a movie it says "Downloaded". Any advice on what I can do in order to watch this movie that I rented a couple of weeks ago?

Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive. If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
-Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
-Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down. You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
-Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes. Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked. You can close Preferences now.
-Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library. iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
Shouldn't have any more problems...

I get a "the requested URL was not found on this server" when trying to play a song in my iphone

I have a new iphone5 and after synking my songs and musice. I get a "The requested URL was not found on this server" when I click on a song or a music video. It is almost like itunes did not copy my songs from my account to the new iphone.

I was having the same problems with my movies and tv shows. I unchecked them, then rechecked them, and synced all them again. Presto! They are all working again. Thank you.

I recently purchased itunes match, but I get the message "The requested URL was not found on this server".

I have had problems with playing music on my Iphone 5 from day 1. I have purchased almost 500 songs in itunes, and only a handful would play. I decided to purchase IMatch, but playing music is even more difficult. It quickly skips through my playlists showing me the artwork/album cover for each song, and will occassionally play a song, but I mostly get the message "The requested URL was not found on this server".
Help Please! I need my music on my phone for 2 hours/day!

Ok, then as long as the videos reside on your PC, do the following:
1) In iTunes on your PC, unsync the music videos (On the Music tab, uncheck "Include Music Videos, and then sync your iPad).
2) Sync the music videos back to the iPad (check that same box again and sync once more).
Does this fix it?

While accessing my iTunes an error message comes up saying; The requested URL was not found on this server

While trying to access my library in iTunes, I receive an error message; The requested URL was not found on this server. This only happens with my older songs, but not with the ones I have most recently added? Any thoughts?

Recorded Videos after Sync: The requested URL was not found on this server.

A few days ago, i recorded a couple of videos. They were saved properly and i could watch them after it in the Camera Roll of my iPhone. Because my memory was almost full, i connected my iPhone to my MacBook and synchronized about 900 old pictures with iPhoto and selected to delete the pictures after the sync. I did not select the recently recorded videos.
After the sync, i opened the Camera Roll on my iPhone and tried to watch the videos again. But now, they all have a grey icon and it says the duration is 0:00 minutes. When i click on a video, it shows me the following error message:
The requested URL was not found on this server.
When i connect my iPhone to iTunes, it says that there is about 350 MB of "Documents and Data" on my phone that I have no idea where it is coming from. Do you think it is possible that the videos are still saved on my phone but my phone doesn't recognize it as videos and can't assign it to the icons in the Camera Roll? Do you have any tips how I can access the videos in case they are still saved somewhere on my iPhone?
Thank you very much in advance for your help and tips!

I have the same problem too!! I was deleting some photos and videos in my phone when the next picture I swiped to was a blank picture with JPG in the middle~ after I closed camera roll and reopened it my photos and videos after that picture are all gone~ and I'm left with 3 videos I took about 30 mins before with 0:00 and when I tried to play them the message popped up saying "requested URL cannot be found on this server" T^T does anyone have a solution to this problem?

I was wondering why when i restored my iphoe5 from my laptop now when I try to play my music and movies a blog pops up saying (the requested URL was not found on this server)?

The problem resolved itself when I resynced the iPod with my computer. I suspect the error displayed when I tried syncing with my laptop and canceled out of it.

The requested url was not found on this server is displayed when trying to play a video I paid for on itunes

When I try to play my itunes videos that I downloaded it says that "This requested url was not found on this server." Why? I paid for it, it s/b stored on my phone in itunes. It was working fine 2 weeks ago. I am using my iphone 4

I had a similar problem with a tv show. I contacted Apple Support and got the following instructions:
"please delete the episode from your iPad and then redownload it directly to the device. You can download past tv show, app, music, and book purchases without incurring additional charges as long as what you want to download is showing on your Purchased page. Some content may not be available for download again if its provider no longer offers it on the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
To enable this feature, you must have the latest version of iTunes. It is available on the Apple website:
http://www.itunes.com/download
The latest version of iTunes will not affect your library or any items in your account.

I tried it this morning, and it worked.

HELP. "The requested URL was not found on this server." (iPhone videos)?

So i was editing a bunch of videos on iMovie on my phone and while exporting, i didn't have enough space. So I thought that I would delete the videos off my Camera Roll (the ones i'm putting into iMovie) thinking that i would still be able to export and have enough space.
It was the wrong decision because it resulted in having all the videos deleted even on iMovie. So i backed up my files on iTunes 2 days ago (luckily) and when i restored my files, the videos are back.
BUT the videos that were saved from snapchat (they were going into the video i was putting together) wouldn't play! It shows the error "The requested URL was not found on this server".
I looked up everything possible to try and fix it but i just can't find it the correct solution. I accidentally backed it up tonight and so the old back up file is gone. I really want to save these videos. The videos still show up in my Camera Roll, they just wouldn't play because the error shows up.
When i connect my phone to my laptop (PC windows vista... I know its old but it works fine for me) it would show the option "open device files" or something. so when i open it, it shows the DCIM folder. And so i open that it shows all my pictures and videos.
Problem is my snapchat videos show up as 0 bytes and still wouldnt play. I've attacted the error message just so you guys know what i'm talking about.
I'm really sad and upset about this, so can anyone help me??
pleaseeee!

Download from loop masters says "The requested URL was not found on this server.

I'm downloading some audio files from http://www.loopmasters.com/ but whenever I try, in the download progress in the top right corner of safari, it'll stop downloading and say "The requested URL was not found on this server." There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to where in the download it'll stop. The first time got 37.3% of the way through, the second time got barely 12% (but my computer went to sleep this time,) and the last time it got to 34.8%. I can't do any more attempts because this website will only let me download it five times. Is there anything that's going wrong on my end, perhaps? Or is it likely just their servers being all wonky?
Let me know if you need any other information :]
