This is a user forum, you are not addresisng Apple here. When home sharing disconnects is your computer still running or asleep?
I would check www.istumbler.net (netstumbler for windows) to check interference.
I'm sure you've checked this, but just in case

Airport and internet sharing turns off by itself

Hi everyone, I have an imac that I purchased earlier this year, and I use internet sharing to get internet for my ipod touch. Until a few months ago, this worked fine but now airport and internet sharing turn off every time I restart the computer and I have to turn both back on every time. Is anyone else experiencing this problem or know hot to fix it?

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Download and install the v10.5.8 combo update available here.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
One of the "fixes" includes: - compatibility and reliability issues when joining AirPort networks.
After the installation, repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

File Sharing Turns off

Hi, I've just set up an intel imac and wanted to connect it to my home network. I can connect from this computer (imac) to an ibook running 10.4.6, but when I try to connect from the ibook to the imac, the connection drops and file sharing turns off by itself.
I can switch it on again, but once i try to connect it turns off by itself again. Any ideas?
Thank you very much

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=352820
after trying all the usual stuff (permissions repair, change sharing name, reinstall & archive, etc) followed by a 1.5 hour call with apple (which had me doing the exactly same stuff all over again) i could only solve this problem by starting from scratch: backing up the relevant files, wiping the drive and reinstalling everything.
i keep a drive with all the most current installers of everything we use in each studio so we can get it all back even from a totally empty drive to up and running in about 2 hours.
good luck.

HT4623 my iPad does not show the Airplay icon. The software is iOS 7.0.4, I have home sharing turned on and have an Apple TV. What should I do?

my iPad does not show the Airplay icon. The software is iOS 7.0.4, I have home sharing turned on and have an Apple TV. What should I do?

If you don't see the AirPlay icon in the Control Center:
1. Turn off router, Apple TV and iPad
2. Turn on router and then wait 30 seconds for it to complete start-up process
3. Turn on Apple TV and then wait 30 seconds for it to complete start-up process
4. Turn on iPad (wait 30 seconds) and test AirPlay

I have home sharing turned on on both of my computers and my iphone, but I don't see how to get them to share music

I have home sharing turned on on both of my computers and my iphone, but I don't see how to get them to share music

Hello hueycat,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you have enabled Home Sharing on your devices, but you are not seeing the option to share music. To use Home Sharing, your devices will need to be on the same network. I also have some additional suggestions to get you setup with Home Sharing.
On the computer, I find it useful to have the Sidebar enabled so that you can see the iTunes libraries that are shared:
In iTunes 11 you have the option to turn the Sidebar and the Status Bar on or off; they are off by default. To do this in the menus, go to:
Show Sidebar - Choose View > Show Sidebar (this feature will display iTunes features on the left side of the application including Library, Store, Shared, Genius, and Playlists).
iTunes 11: Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
Once you have that enabled, you should see the shared iTunes library in the Sidebar:
Understanding Home Sharing
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3819
On your iPhone, I you can view the shared content in the Music or Videos app:
iPhone
With iOS 5 and later, tap [Music or Videos] > More... > Shared or tap iPod > More… > Shared with earlier versions of iOS.
Select a shared library.

If you are using Home Sharing to transfer your iTunes Library from one computer to another, use the steps in the section titled “Home Sharing” in the following article:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
Lastly, if you are not seeing your shared iTunes libraries at all, you can use the steps in the following article to troubleshoot Home Sharing:

You can't, you will need to get a new remote.

My play lists and songs on iTunes and on my iPhone won't play. They are light grey instead of black and nothing happens when I click on the songs. All of the songs were either from CD's or from iTunes that I purchased. I have home sharing turned on. This is a new issue. It used to work fine. I tried restarting my iPhone and syncing with iTunes. Neither worked. Please help!

Try delete those songs using iTunes by de-selecting and sync. After that mark those songs and sync again.

I have 2 apple tv's but my playlists only show on one; can I get them to show up on both? I have home sharing turned on and itunes match.

If you are attempting to share to both at the same time, you can't.
Are you selecting the second AppleTV in home sharing options on the MBP. Are all devices signed in for Home Sharing with the same AppleID?

Try to reset it by holding the power an home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release. If it won't reset, you'll probably have to force it into recovery mode and restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

Home sharing problem with music between iTunes and Apple TV

iTunes 10.5.2.11
Apple TV2 running 4.4.4 (3330)
Windows 7 pc
WI FI connection
Apple TV is losing its connection to iTunes on my windows 7 pc after streaming EXACTLY TWO SONGS. I've never had this problem until the last update of iTunes to 10.5.2.11 and Apple TV 4.4.4. Home sharing is on in both iTunes and apple TV. I launch my computer from apple TV and open the music folders, select an album/playlist or even shuffle (doesn't matter what I do). Apple TV will play two songs and then lose its home sharing connection to my iTunes songs. TheBuffering icon continues to spin as it looks for the next song on the playlist, but the \song never starts playing. If I sue the apple TV remote to return to the main menu, it is apparent that my computer is no longer visible to apple tv.
The only temporary "fix" (which again only works for EXACTLY TWO SONGS) is to re-start home sharing on my pc or apple tv. Obviously, you can't listen to music by continuously turning on/off home sharing on eiter device. Doesn't matter which device I choose to restart home Sharing.
I've spent considerable time troubleshooting this issue. It is NOT a router issue, nor is it a signal quality issue. I'm able to stream feature-length movies from iTunes to apple TV without issue. It's only music files. The cynic in me thinks its apple wanting me to spend $25 to put my music in its iCloud service.
Other troubleshooting that I've tried. None successful.
Uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes.
Tried a fresh install of iTunes on a brand new windows 7 maching
Restored my apple TV.
disconnected / re-connected outlook.

bump to Apple. Many people are having this issue and no fix yet!

Home Sharing no longer works between iTunes and Apple TV.

I've been through all the forums, tried all the solutions provided and I have come to the conclusion that Home Sharing just no longer works between iTunes on a PC and my Apple TV. Does anyone know if this issue will be addressed or should I list my Apple TV up on eBay? (along with my iPad, iPod, and iPhone, since all system no longer sync together as before.)
My issue:
My iTunes library is no longer listed under "Computers" on the Apple TV.
The airplay icon no longer shows up in iTunes. (Version 11)
I cannot play music/content from my iPhone or iPad via remote that is stored in my iTunes library through my Apple TV.
I can however play music/content that is stored locally on my iPhone and iPad through my Apple TV.
My firewall settings are allowing access to Apple TV.
After logging into my router, I see no issues there.
I've logged in/out, turned home sharing on/off, de-authorized/authorized, and restarted my PC, Apple TV, and Router.
All devices are logged into the same iTunes account, and are on the same wireless network.
Time for a solution Apple.

If you turn off wifi on your Computer and connect it to the apple tv using an ethernet cable can you see your library under computers in Apple TV.
If yes the issue is with your wifi not the Apple TV

iTunes Home Sharing Not Working
Not working and sometimes when it is working, it cuts out in the middle, or when you click on the computer name, the focus goes away from the library. In other words, really weird.
What it is
iTunes has a feature called "Home Sharing" - it basically allows you to share your entire or part of your library with other instances of iTunes in your home network. It requires you to login to your iTunes account on both computers. A typical scenario is to enable Home Sharing on your desktop machine and then access the library from your iPad, Apple TV, iPhone, Mac, etc.
In my case, I have iTunes on my desktop machine running Windows XP in the attic with Home Sharing enabled and then I access the library from my Macbook and Apple TV, depending on what I want. How to use Home Sharing can be found here.
Symptoms
Home Sharing machine not showing up in Apple TV or the Macbook
The Macbook home sharing not showing up on my desktop
Home Sharing working intermittently
Connections getting cut of intermittently
Usually, restarting iTunes or the desktop computer will make things work.
Sometimes, restarting the Macbook or the Apple TV will make things work.
The "working" doesn't last long
The FixOn the desktop computer where the Home Sharing is enabled, I disabled the "QoS Packet Scheduler" from the network connection:
Open Control Panel
Open Network Connections
Right-Click on your connection (in my case, it was "Wireless Network Connection 4"
Select Properties
Uncheck "QoS Packet Scheduler"
Click OK
Restart iTunes if necessary
After doing the above, Home Sharing worked like a charm.

I activated home sharing but nothing shows up on my apple tv. Please help

My apple desk top and Mac book pro have the home sharing turned on but I can't see it on the apple tv.

I have the same issue with the new Apple TV (3rd gen).
I have two libraries on one machine which is connected to the LAN via Ethernet. Homeshare has been setup with the same Apple ID for both libraries and both accounts are logged in (using fast user switching), with iTunes running.
My iPad and iPhone can see both libraires and stream content from them over wifi. The ATV can see both libraries, but will only load content from one of them, and not always the one that belongs to the currently logged in user. The other, just gives the "could not connect to library. make sure your computer has itunes open, and that its on the same network as Apple TV." error, as above.
The network connection is fine, the ATV is up-to-date, as is iTunes and OSx. HomeShare is enabled on all devices and using the same Apple ID. I've tried rebooting, restoring the ATV, rebooting iTunes on both accounts and the Mac itself. Nothing works.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

HT3819 For home sharing do you have to use one apple ID? Im trying to make my own new account for all my devices (iphone, ipad, mac) , but i still want the music from my dads account.
