Applet TV Shares - Does NOT HOME Share

Computers can 'HOME share' computer iTunes libraries with other computers signed in on other iTune account. Apple TV can not do this HOME share.
Apple TV only 'shares' libraries from computers which have signed in using the same iTunes account.
How do you work around this?

You are supposed to use ONE home share account for all computers and Apple TVs. Each computer can still be logged into separate and individual iTunes accounts but the Home Share account used has to be the same for all. Then on the ATV all the iTunes libraries will show up.
Note that you aren't signing into iTunes by adding the home sharing account to it. You still remain signed into your own iTunes account.

  • There was a problem connecting to the server "Time Capsule".  The share does not exist on the server. Please check the share name, and then try again.

    The following error pop's up as an [OK] dialogue box after logging in the iMac,
    There was a problem connecting to the server "Time Capsule".
    The share does not exist on the server. Please check the share name, and then try again."
    As it happens, a connection to the Time Capsule is established usually, anyway. On occasion it doesn't.
    I have a Volume, Data, on the capsule, which similarly, usually mounts, but occassionally doesn't, with access permissions denied.
    Any suggestions on how begin to work out how to achieve networking seamlesness?

    First, restart the Time Capsule by disconnecting the power adapter and reconnecting it. If other devices on the network can see it, you can skip this step.
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
    Click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate to unlock the settings, if necessary. Click the Advanced button, then select the TCP/IP tab in the sheet that drops down. Click Renew DHCP lease.
    Try again to back up.
    If you still can't, open the Time Machine preference pane and delete the TC from the list of backup destinations. You may have to unlock the settings by clicking the lock icon in order to do this. Then add it back.

  • Mounted SMB share does not show in sidebar but shows up in computer

    Mounted SMB share does not show in sidebar and is unavailable to some apps (itunes, chrome).  Shares do show up when browsing computer.  Where should I start?
    This started after upgrade to 10.7.3

    Interesting short term solution - drag and drop share from finder->computer to sidebar.  This only works short term - after reboot share will still not show in sidebar.

    The two commeon reasons are:
    You may be using regular sharing rather than Home Sharing.  See information here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819
    The two computers are not on the same local network, or are not both authorized to the same account.

    You add everything to the Panel p but you never add that panel to the applet. What you probably want is to add everything to the applet. An applet is a special kind of panel so you can just change "p" to "this" everywhere in init and remove the declaration of p at the top.

  • Does anyone know how to share libraries in home share on this new version of itunes.

    Does anyone know how to share music or import music from 1 computer to another on the home share. My daughter and I have been doing it for a while now but the new updated version wont let us. And the instructions on the help are of no help as there is no button to check that says NOT IN MY LIBRARY to check.

    If you have home Sharing working you first have to import the songs to your computer and then sync to your iPod.

    I've got it solved. I turned off Home Sharing on my main machine and then turned it back on and then both machines worked, Drag and Drop worked, the Import and Settings button reappeared.
    I wonder why I needed to do that.

  • "Look for libraries to share" does not appear in the Shared pane under preferences.  I'm trying to see my fiances shared library.  She can see mine. I have selected share entire library.  Help please!

    Cannot see my fiance's library but she can see mine.  Checked all appropriate boxes to share entire library.  Help syays to check under Shared which does not even appear anywhere.  It also said to check the "Look for share libraries" under shared pane which also does not exit in that pane. I am Windows 7 and she is Macbook.  Thanks

    I'm using an Airport Extreme, and I'm not aware of UPnP settings in the Airport Utility.
    On the Mac, I set up a Parallels Vista instance in bridged mode and verified that I can see the other Vista PC share folders, so I know that the Vista PC has been set up correctly.
    Additionally, as mentioned before, I switched DNS Servers several times, but settled on an alternative Rogers DNS to avoid their awful failed lookup ad page (64.71.255.202 if anyone needs it).
    I also tried adding the Vista PC IP to my Mac hosts file, which oddly showed the Mac on the Vista side, but nothing on the Mac side.
    I also goofed around in the smb.conf file with some settings, but alas, nada.
    The only thing that might explain why the Airport Express network (Vista, XP) provided me with shares in the sidebar and not my own Airport Extreme network (just Vista) could be that it's a master browser issue. I saw a couple of posts about this.
    If the Vista machine is the master browser, nothing will show in the sidebar, but if XP or a Mac is the master browser, then the sidebar will show shares. I don't have a way to verify this as I'm not sure how to force one machine to be a master browser over another. I'm suspicious if this will do anything as I've found other posts saying exactly the opposite scenario.
    Is there anyone out there that has had a network, possibly with Airport Extreme, one Mac (Leopard), one Vista PC, and Vista share is showing in the Finder sidebar?

  • Family Share - does not give me the option to accept

    I have created family share on my ipad and emailed an invite to my 9 year old son. He does not have an apple account because he is too young. I want him to accept the family share invite but he can not unless I log in with my apple account. If I do this it says I am the organiser!!  Now my sons ipad thinks he is me and when he adds games to his they appear on mine!! 
    Please help!!  What do I do ?

    Hello Caroline, 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like you're setting up Family Sharing so your son can download items from the App Store. 
    Since your son is 9 years old, you need to create an Apple ID for him using the steps in this article:
    Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
    You will be able to add this new Apple ID to the iPad your son uses. 
    All the best,
