ATV2 will not recognize my library for home sharing.

This just happened 1 week ago. I have tried everything - rebootting, turning off routers, etc. Help please!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check for interference from new networks or electrical equipment, have you installed any new software on your PC, particularly security related or file sharing software.

My HP laptop with windows 8 won't recognize any library with home sharing; although the other computers do.

My HP laptop with windows 8 won't recognize any library with home sharing; although the other computers do.
I've tried activating and deactivating home sharing multiple times, any other reason why this is happening?
Thanks

A couple of other things you might like to try :-
- Determine whether you are able to access the internet from anywhere else on your new PC (e.g. do Windows updates download ? Can you access the Windows 8 store ? ) If the answer is no, then your problem doesn't lie with IE but with the actual wireless connection. If the answer is yes, then continue as below.
- Run IE from the desktop instead of the Start screen - probably won't make any difference, but worth a try.
- Download a decent browser like Firefox or Chrome and try that - this will show whether the problem lies just with IE or not
- As a general rule, don't do anything that PC World tell you to do, lol !
As gg30340 says, this does sound very much like it MAY be a problem with firewall settings - if you're running Norton Antivirus then I believe that will be providing the firewall service, rather than the inbuilt Windows firewall.
One thing you don't need to worry about - Windows 8 is a perfectly good OS and works just as well as Windows 7 did. I'm using it now !

TS2972 In the new itunes, I can't see "items not in my library" using home sharing

In new itunes, I can't see "items not in my library" using home sharing

Yup, the new itunes is worthless unless every song you have is in your itunes library as well. (unless you buy every song from itunes this is simply impossible) Apparently Apple threw away the feature in an effort to force everyone to purchase their media through itunes. This is probably the worst idea about the new Itunes, the only way to go back is to restore your computer to a time before you downloaded the new version, otherwise wait and hope the next version in a year or so will have it.

I have a similar question to the one Brendan posted a day or two ago. My wife's MacBook Pro will find my library for home sharing, but my ACER will not even display the home sharing icon. Home sharing on, latest version on iTunes.

I want to get some music from my wife's MacBook Pro via Home Sharing. We both have Home Sharing turned on. Her's displays the Home Sharing icon, and recognizes my library. My ACER will not display the Home Sharing icon, and I cannot access her library. I have verified I have the latest version of iTunes, I have turned Home Sharing off and on again, and still no icon.

IPhoto 9.6 will not recognize my Library

I just upgraded my iMac to Yosemite. Once upgraded, I had to update my iPhoto to 9.6. Now, I can't open any of my photos. This is the message I get when I open iPhoto:
Caution
The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it. iPhoto can try to repair the permissions.
Repair/Quit
I click Repair, it asks me for my password, I type it in, and it says Repairing photo library permissions
Then I get:
The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it.
Ok
I click ok, and then iPhoto closes.
So I tried holding Option and clicking on my iPhoto Library. iPhoto opens up and tells me:
The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it.
Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete.
Quit/Upgrade
I click upgrade, it says it's upgrading, I watch the bar go all the way to just before the end and then it freezes and iPhoto says it's not responding. I've tried this many times and even left it on for 1-1/2 days to see if anything would happen. I have to Force Quit
Other things I've tried:
- Re-installing iPhoto 9.6 twice
- Using Time Machine to retrieve an older backup of my Library
- Using iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild my Library
Nothing works. Someone please help me! I desperately need to access these photos for work! Is there something I'm not doing?

Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/
That is the User Library, where your preferences and other application support data are stored.
I am asking about your iPhoto Library, where iPhoto is storing the photos, albums, etc. By default this will be stored in your Pictures folder and look like this in the Finder:
If you moved the iPhoto Library to an external drive to save space, it might explain the error message.
After you found your iPhoto Library, try the solution in Terence Devlin's post:

My iPhone will not recognize other iPhones for iMessage after updating to ios 6. Any suggestions?

I updated my phone last week and after the update was finished I noticed I could not initiate an iMessage conversation with other iPhone users who I had always been able to use iMessage with. If I begin the conversation it sends as a regular SMS message and after the other iPhone user responds it allows me to use iMessage. I have toggled the iMessage switch on and off, signed out and back in on my apple I.D., as well as resorting to restoring my phone, still nothing. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

What happens when you try?
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Midi Will Not Recognize My iPad For New Session

I have a Mac Mini and it's running OSX. I got a new app for my iPad2 called Ac-7 Core. I can get into the MIDI setup network and I even see my iPad listed up there. However it will not allow to me to create a new session or even connect to my ipad. If I click on my iPad's name it gets highlighted but it won't let me click CONNECT in fact it won't let me actually do anything but click on my iPad name every other button is faded out and I can't type in any of the boxes. Did I just pay for an app I can't use or is there a way to fix this?

Are you trying to do this using iTunes?

Iphone is frozen and itunes will not recognize the iphone for a restore

my facebook app was giving me problems while trying to update my status, so I decided to delete the app and try to re-install it. after deleting the app, the phone froze. I decided to do a soft reset, and the phone will initially boot up only to the apple image on the screen and them immediately shut back off. I've tried to do multiple other soft restarts, but it won't get past the apple logo on the screen before shutting completely off again.
the phone is out of warranty and I was told by the support line that I need to do a backup restore, but now my itunes won't even recognize the iphone to give me the option to do a restore from backup.
I have an iphone with 3.1.3 and Windows Vista.
thanks for all you help!

Unfortunately it never gave me the option to restore from backup. only to do a complete restore to factory. I reconnected the phone to the computer and in the process of doing another restore. this time it actually showed the progress on the iphone screen as opposed to the first run only showing the apple logo on the screen. I believe you may have saved my phone! I will let you know in a few...

De-authorising computers for home sharing

I have had two laptops 'die' recently, and have two replacement ones. Because I have reached my 5 limit on home sharing authorised computers, itunes will not let me set up home sharing on my new laptops - it says I have to de-authorise other computers. I cannot do this because they are dead. How do I fix this - anyone????

If you need to free up authorizations, I'd do a "Deauthorize All" from one of the computers you have access to, and then reauthorize the computers you have access to.
For instructions, see the following document:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization

HT1449 I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch). All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices

I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch). All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices. Help please

The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
The Apple store will do this for you, you can call apple support and they will help you, you can use google.

All of your computers content are available in the AppleTV section called "Computer". This is where you will find your music.
The Music section of the AppleTV is only for those who subscribed to iTunes Match.
