TS2972 Home sharing - There is no "Shared" heading on my computer.

There is no "shared" tab/heading on my computer. When I go to advanced, homesharing appears to be turned on. But how can I use it if there is no "Shared" tab and therefore no "home sharing" tab?
There is a Home Sharing tab on the 2nd computer -- the one that would like to access the library on the 1st computer.
I have the latest version of iTunes. And Windows 7 on both computers.
Thanks.

To clarify, there is no "Shared" or "Home Sharing" heading on my iTunes Side Bar.

How can I get Home Share to work for iTunes?? I've followed the instructions but one I have activated Home Share, there is no "Shared" heading to link to my other computer. It (the word "Shared") disappears after I turn on Home Share.

I followed the instructions, but once I turn on "Home Sharing", the word "Shared" disappears from the left hand column of the iTunes window. So, where can I link to my other computer so I can share my music??

Make sure that the iTunes version is updated on your computers that you are using for Home Sharing. Also, I think that all of the computers have to be on with iTunes pulled up while you are trying to transfer data.
You have to have Home Sharing turned on with both computers. If you do have Home Sharing turned on with all of your computers, are your 'Shared' computers all authorized under the same account? If not, they should be.
Have you checked 'Share my library on my local network' in preferences? You should have the box checked for both computers.
I hope this helps!

TS2972 HOME SHARING WONT WORK WITH ITUNES 12

I CANT ANYMORE
My OS is Windows 7
My iOS device: iPad 7.1.1
My iTunes Version: 12
AND I've tried by all means to use home sharing with the Remote app, but it doesn't work at all.
So please HELP ME

I have had this same problem since I upgraded to version 11 of iTunes. I just found today that if you go into Preferences (under the Edit menu in Windows or under File on Mac OS) there is a Sharing tab that was turned off. As soon as I checked the box in front of "Share my library on my local network" and the checkbox in front of "Home Sharing computers and devices update play counts" (I don't know if this second checkbox has to be checked or not) and restarted iTunes on each computer it began to work again.
I have no idea why Apple decided to have this turned off by default in version 11+ as I had it working fine prior to upgrading. I also have no idea why Apple makes no mention of the need to go into the Preferences and make sure Sharing is enabled. I have found no mention of it in any home sharing documentation...

TS2972 Home sharing help :

This used to work and I don't THINK I've changed anything. My main library on my PC is "Home Master" (so my typical main iTunes librabry on my PC when I open up iTunes). It's media files are in "iTunes Master" (public folder). I can see library "Home Master" on iphone but it's empty ? I don't think the iPhone "points" specifcially at "Home Master" but just picks it up from iTunes settings. Yet the PC knows how to find all the files in Home Master.
And iTunes is fired up when I attempt to access the library from my iPhone.

Home sharing only works on the same network.
You can download past purchases from iTunes or wait until you get back home and copy all the content to the "new" computer or a flash/external drive to take back to school with you.

Home sharing not working, no shared library: iTunes 10.6.1, iPhone 4s

So here's what I'm doing and what my problem is. On iTunes, under preferences, I go to the sharing tab and click share my library on my local network. I then go to advanced > turn on home sharing. I enter my apple id and password and create home share. It says home sharing is now on and I click done. Now, the shared tab disappears and there is no shared library. On my iPhone 4s, I go to settings > music > and enter the same apple id and password. I then go to music > more and there is no shared library option. I go back to preferences on iTunes and go to sharing tab. It says Status: On, no users connected. How do I fix this? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes so I have the latest version. I'm also on the same wifi connection on both my laptop and iphone. I also turned my firewall off.

On iTunes, under preferences, I go to the sharing tab and click share my library on my local network.
We don't actually have to do that for Home Sharing ... that's for the older "Music Sharing" system. For some discussion of the distinction between the two, see the following document:
iTunes: How to share music and video
Is there another computer on your network that you want to home share with? If so, is iTunes currently running on that computer?

HT3819 There is no "shared" option on my itunes and i've already connected the computers, what do I do?

I need help, ASAP.

There is no "shared" option on my itunes
So there is no iTunes menu Store > Turn on Home Sharing?
How about iTunes prefs -Sharing?
and i've already connected the computers
How did you "connect" them?

My win 7 home premium cannot connect the sharing printer (EPSON L1100) in Windows server 2003 it say "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Accses denied"

in My office there is a win server 2003 R2 computer, i install a printer Epson L1100 in that computer, and it successfull, and i can print using that printer from that computer..
I already share this printer, but when i try to connect the printer from my laptop using OS Win 7 Home Premium.. it has error
"Windows cannot connect to the printer. Accses denied"...
and then i try connect using other computer but same OS (win 7 Home premium) it still has same error...
i usually connect to the server computer using //(the ip of computer) , for example
//52.30.20.66 .. that is my IP server..
and than i right click in shared printer which appears in windows explorer, and i choose
Connect... but it contain error "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Accses denied"..
anyone know the solution from this error???
i`m sorry if my english is bad.. i`m from indonesia

Got a local password/username on your Win7 ? Create the same on the 2003R2 as you seem in workgroup
net user /add useraccountname mypassword
net localgroup users useraccountname /add (I think it's users the name, you can validate to be sure) or
net localgroup administrators useraccountname /add in worst case.
nb, or add the user guess in the printer share security

Hello there - I am sharing an iPhoto library across two accounts on the same computer - it works fine EXCEPT for Quicktime movies - they play on one account and claim I don't have the rights on the other - all permissions are on and ok?

Hello there - I am sharing an iPhoto library across two accounts on the same computer - it works fine EXCEPT for Quicktime movies - they play on one account and claim I don't have the rights on the other - all permissions are on and ok?

It should be in the Users/ Shared folder.
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Note the option to check and repair Library Permissions

Now that the photo gallery in MobileMe is ending, is there another photo sharing site to which existing iPhoto albums can be transferred as is, with photos in the same order and with titles, and with minimal problems?

Now that the photo gallery in MobileMe is ending, is there another photo sharing site to which existing iPhoto albums can be transferred as is, with photos in the same order and with titles, and with minimal problems?

No. If you don't have the album you originally used to create the galleries you can do so by dragging the photos from each gallery to a new, empty album. Then when you find the photo sharing site/option you have decided on you can easily upload each album to the site.
Another option is to obtain a hosting service and create iWeb photo pages for each album and future albums similar to this photo page in one of my demo sites: iPhoto Book as an iWeb Slideshow. Or you can use the iWeb album page and have an album for each iPhoto album on it like on this demo page: Page-7 .

Your SQL Server 2012 is already at SP2 see version number 11.0.5058 this corresponds to SP2. So when you run the setup it says there is nothing to upgrade

I want to be able to monitor my teen daughter's computer from home using screen sharing. Anyone know how to set up screen sharing when my daughter's school has her computer set up for Apple Remote Desktop?

ARD won't be as smooth as you think over the Internet and be a security risk for your daughter.
Your best bet would be to install nannyware, then when she's asleep you can review the logs.
This is the best and Mac friendly

Just hooked up new apple tv for first time. able to connect to internet (netflix, youtube) but not able to connect to my itunes account via home sharing. apple tv tells me to make sure computer's itunes has home-sharing enabled, which it does. any advice?

Just hooked up new apple tv for first time. able to connect to internet (netflix, youtube) but not able to connect to my itunes account via home sharing. apple tv tells me to make sure computer's itunes has home-sharing enabled, which it does. any advice?

Have done both suggestions, still not working. Could it have somehting to do with my local network? I am using a wireless Internet provided by my apartment building so not sure if apple tv and my computer are not technically on the same "local network?"
apple tv and main computer are connecting to Internet fine. Just cannot see my itunes on apple tv.
any other advice? My itunes is turned on to home sharing. i entered the same apple itunes account into aple tv. but appletv keeps saying my computer's home sharing is not turned on...but it is.

How do I consolidate all this at this point: Icloud Drive, Itunes Match, Local iTunes Library, Local iPhoto, Local Aperture, Photo stream, Familly sharing, sharing on iOS, music sharing on iOS, music sharing on mac etc.

I am trying to grasp all the possibilities for consolidating my stuff and my family's stuff from multiple devices and multiple accounts from multiple sources but I cant.
I have been reading many instructions and FAQ regarding iCloud Drive, iCloud Sharing, iTunes Match, Familly Sharing, file size limitations on iCloud Drive, app sharing on iOS, Backup vs Sync vs cloud sharing, storing iWork documents on iCloud drive, storing iTunes library on iCloud Drive, storing iPhoto library on iCloud Drive, storing Aperture library on the iCloud, the Photos app on iOS with iCloud and many others.... but I feel like I need a systems admin course from apple to manage all of it.
This is what I and my family currently have:
Hardware: Multiple iPhones, Multiple Macs, Apple TV (with hard drive), Multiple iPads.
Operating systems: Everything is upgraded to the latest iOS and Yosemite.
Libraries:
1) Multiple iTunes Libraries locally stored on Macs and IPhones with lossless CD music and iTunes purchased music. What I want to do:
a) Have a main family shared iTunes library across ALL devices that contains our Lossless music and purchased music. so that it can be played across ALL devices. With the ability to have private music for each individual (Not shared).
b) Purchase new music and add it to the family share or purchase music and make it private (Not shared).
2) Multiple iPhoto Libraries macs (With photo stream from iPhones) and ONE Aperture Library on my mac. What I want to do:
a) Have a main family shared photo library that every one can deposit to and view.
b) Store individual iPhoto libraries on iCloud Drive(s)? So that everyone can have their own library and edit it across THEIR devices.
c) Store and use my Aperture Library on iCloud Drive?
Other documents:
iWork files, PDFs etc. What I want to do:
a) Have a main family shared area (on iCloud Drive i suppose) where we can share documents.
b) Sync private documents across ALL individuals devices (Available locally and on iCloud).
c) Store private documents (One instance) on iCloud drive and make them available on ALL individuals devices.
d) Backup of local documents?
Apps:
iOS apps:
a) Share purchased apps?
b) Not share private apps.
Storage:
What do I purchase to accomplish the above:
a) iCloud storage for everyone?
b) iTunes Match for everyone?
c) All of the above?
Conclusion:
It would be great for Apple to explain all this with all the options in one concise document instead of hunting down individual documents and sections all over the place.
Thank you for your help.

Hey there!
You and I are data soulmates. I have been having this trouble for a while and have yet to get my head around it. Our problem is that we've cycled through multiple macs and the "home" or "host" for all the stuff that's now been moved or moving to the Cloud is very scattered. It drives me crazy... almost to the point where I'm thinking about starting a brand-new iCloud account and beginning from scratch.
If you have any experiences or recommendations you could share about your strategy, I would love to hear it.
