After installing Itunes 10.1.2.17, homes sharing doesn't work no more!

After i installed itunes 10.1.2.17, home sharing isn't working anymore. I checked to make sure it is turned on & the bonjour is enabled. What happened? It was working before with the previous version.

I see exactly the same symptoms; previously Home Sharing worked fine. After installing 10.1.2.17 on the PC that contains the main library, the library appears on my other XP and Windows 7 laptops, but on clicking on the library focus returns to the Music folder after several seconds.
I have a Dell Dimension 2400 running Windows XP Home Edition 5.1 build 2600. It is connected to a Linksys router by cable. The laptops are connected using WiFi. Nothing else has changed in the setup apart from the iTunes upgrade.
Any ideas?

After installing iOS 6 update my ipod touch 5G doesn't work anymore

after installing iOS 6 update my ipod touch 5G doesn't work anymore. Can anybody help me? Please!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT204291 After updating software on my Apple TV home sharing will not work. Both Apple TV and iMac have home sharing on but when Computer is selected on Apple TV I just get a message saying "turn home sharing on". But it is. How can I solve this problem

I have just updated the software on my Apple TV since then home sharing will not work though I had not used it since installing iOS6 on my iPad 3. Home sharing is shown to be on on the Apple TV and on on my iMac. The Apple TV is connected to the router with an ethernet cable and all functions work correctly apart from my computer.
I have done the following.
Switched off the Apple TV and rebooted, did the same with iMac
Turned off home sharing then turned it on.
Checked that home sharing is on on both devices.
Selected Computer
Get a message telling me to turn home sharing on - IT IS!
Tried using airplay mirroring on the iPad but the airplay function is missing from iPad.
It is so annoying since before iOS6 and updating the Apple TV software everything worked perfectly. Any help would be very gratefully received.
Thanks

Hi Everyone,
hope this message finds you all in time. The recent Apple TV update 5.1 is terrible. Apple knows it is which is why (thankfully for some relentless user -I have no idea who but I believe it was under threat) they have allowed to sign 5.0.2 again which means you can downgrade your Apple TV 2 and 3 to a 5.0.2 version via iTunes. Who knows how long they will keep the window open but I have downgraded my ATV early this morning. I couldn't post this earlier because I was out all day but I am doing it now.
Here's how to do it:
1) Connect your ATV to your computer via a Mini USB (not included with ATV but included with many other electronic devices) - in order for your ATV to appear in iTunes you must FIRST plug the USB cable to your computer and ATV and only THEN plug the power cable.
2) Download your ipsw restore file from Apple.
5.0.2 (ATV 2): AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
5.0.2 (ATV 3): AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
3) In iTunes select yout ATV, hold SHIFT and click on Restore
4) Find and choose the downloaded IPSW file in the Open Dialog Box and hit Next
5) As long as Apple still signs that version the Restore process will begin and will take a few minutes to complete.
Enjoy!

ITunes Home Sharing doesn't work. Why?

Hi there,
I'm trying to get someone else's library with Home Sharing, but it doesn't seem to work.
In iTunes, it shows the library on the left, but when I try to click on it iTunes asks for a password. The password doesn't seem to work, even though it does for exactly the same thing on another Mac.
All of these Macs are on the same network, and both Macs have been restarted, and both have iTunes 10.
Any idea why it doesn't work and how I could make it work?

ITunes 9.2.1.5 for Windows: Sharing / Home Sharing doesn't work

I have a windows XP laptop and sometime within the last two months (after upgrading to 9.x??) sharing and home sharing stopped working.
I have read the troubleshooting post, and everything is configured correctly. It doesn't work at home OR at work (although MAC users at work are having no problems).
Can anyone confirm that this is a BUG in 9.2? Does anyone have any fixes? As I said, my ports are open. Of note: my iPhone remote app works on my home network with our Mac, but not the PC, indicating that the problem isn't the router. I did delete exceptions for iTunes, Bonjour, and ports 3689 TCP, 5353 UDP (which, curiously, allowed my remote to work with my PC itunes, but the remote does NOT show up in the sidebar.
I think this is a bug, beyond the software firewall issues.
Any help anyone can give me will be met with plaudits and wreaths of laurels.
Thanks

Let me know if this article works out for you: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972
I haven't used a Windows laptop in a few years, so I don't have a lot to go from. Good Luck!

Home Sharing doesn't work with Vista?

I'm having trouble trying to set up the new Home Sharing feature between my two computers.
Computer #1 uses Vista x64 OS while Computer #2 uses XP OS (Yes, they're wired on the same network). Both have iTunes 9.0.1.8 software installed and are authorized computers under a single account. My XP comp can see my Vista Library just fine while my Vista x64 comp gives me an error:
"The shared library [insert name here] is not responding. (-3259) Check that any firewall software running on either the shared computer or this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689."
Multiple web sources suggested opening this port as well as Port 5353 and adding iTunesHelper.exe and iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe to my "Exceptions" list in my personal/virus scan firewalls. I've done this to both comps and my router with no result. I've checked the box under Preferences > Share my library on my local network and there is still no change. Googling this error has led me to believe the problem lies within the iTunes software.
If anyone has any ideas or information on this problem, I'd appreciate the help. Thank you.

I've restarted everything and deauthorized and rechecked sign in name and reset the iTV and so forth. iTV will not see the shared computer, although the iPad and iPhone do. I've wasted too much time on this. It occured after the recent update. Wonder when Apple will acknowledge and fix.

Home Sharing doesn't work on my iMac (2013)

Hi,
I have an iMac 2013, all my music and movies are on it.
Home Sharing is enabled.
I have the iMac, an iPhone, an iPad and an Apple TV all on the same network, sponsored by a Time Capsule.
None of the 3 devices can connect to the iMac library. The Apple TV doesn't see it. When I add the library in the Remote app of the iPhone and iPad, I have to enter the code in iTunes but then after the app is "looking for the library" without finding it.
The main reason was for me to load my movies from the Apple TV in my living room, but it doesn't work as it can see the Home Sharing. I can though AirPlay the iMac on the Apple TV (so definitely on the same network).
Any idea? I've done the whole bunch of crap from Apple, nothing works. Rebooted like 20 times each.

I brought my macbook air at home, everything worked perfectly: iPhone, iPad and Apple TV can connect. So basically I guessed that the issue was coming from the iMac, something preventing it to be discovered. I've checked the bonjour broadcasting and oh, surprise, the iMac wasn't broadcasting... Weird because it's a setup from a Time Machine, the environment I am running currently on the macbook air.
Anyway, if this can help someone else:
I've ran:
ps aux | grep mDNS
and saw that for the iMac the daemon was launched with the argument -NoMulticastAdvertisements.
I've setup the daemon to run back as normal and restarted the computer:
sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder ProgramArguments -array /usr/sbin/mDNSResponder -launchd
After the reboot, everything works flawlessly (it has never worked before for the 6 months I had the Apple TV).
Also interesting discovery and I think it's new because I don't remember being able to do that before, but some of my devices are on the separate 5Ghz network, some are on the 2.4Ghz and they can still all communicate flawlessly. I can use AirPlay on the Export Express that is on the 2.4 from the iMac that is on the 5Ghz, and I can access the iMac library from whatever band. Pretty nice!

Home sharing doesn't work

I have recently purchased a MacBook Air and want to convert all of my iTunes library from my WinVista Sony vaio laptop. I have around 20GB of music on my current library and ha the laptop for about 4 years. I have followed all of the steps about home sharing and all seems to be going fine. As the mac contains no music on iTunes yet it comes up on the windows laptop very quickly. However, with the mac it loads my library (without showing any songs or data) for about 1 minute then it just stops loading and switches back to the blank library. I am really confused because I have followed all of the steps and they are both up to the latest version of iTunes
help would be appreciated, thank you

i'm sure you did but try disabling home sharing from the advanced menu on both machines then turn it back on for both machines and use the same iTunes store account.
if still no joy, you could try *removing iTunes completely* on both Macs (click here and follow the instructions), then reinstall it using the standalone installer from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
note this will not do anything to your media files, playlists, ratings, etc.

HT1947 Home sharing doesn't work. I tried all the items in the troubleshooting section. It just sits there and says turn on home sharing in itunes in the remote app. It's on. Connecting to a library doesn't work either because my phone doesn't show up on

Iphone 5. Anything else I can try? Itunes and iphone and the app are all up to date.
