Authorize computer for home sharing

How do I authorize an AppleTV account for multiple iTunes users? Example, AppleTV registered for one iTunes account and not recognizing a new iTunes account, even when Home Sharing is turned on.

All libraries would need to be under the same home-sharing ID in order for them to be recognized.

  • Does de-authorizing a computer for Home Sharing delete purchased songs?

    We have three computers in our house. We have had two other computers, both of which were authorized for our Home Sharing account. We neglected to de-authorize these computers before getting rid of them, so the account now has 5 out of 5 machines authorized. My plan is this: De-authorize all, then re-authorize the three computers we still own. Would we still have access to all the purchased songs?

    yes.

  • Song authorization required for home sharing; tried all suggestions I could find but still not working!

    I've been having an issue transferring some of my song files in itunes via homesharing from my "old computer" an ibook G4 to my "new computer" a MacBook Pro. I've been able to transfer the majority of the songs; however, when i try to import certain songs, i receive a message that my MacBook Pro is not authorized for those particular songs. Ok, I've been to the support boards and spent 2 hours searching and trying to resolve this issue with the suggestions posted:
    — All software is updated on both computers; same message;
    — I deauthorized/reauthorized both computers, restarted both; same message;
    — I realise some of my songs were downloaded from two different apple ID's; I signed in with the other Apple ID to try transfering them; same message;
    — I deleted the SI, SO? folders on both computers; same message;
    So after all that, I tried transferring songs the same exact way, but this time from my MacBook Pro to my iBook G4 (mostly because I wanted to update my ipod)— all the new songs I've downloaded since using my MacBook Pro transferred without a problem or in need of any authorization. How is this possible? The process works fine from the new computer to old computer but not vice versa, which is the way I want it to work. I'm highly frustrated and confused. Please help if you have any suggestions-- I'd appreciate it!

    To anyone else who is having this problem, mine was finally resolved.
    I apparently have another Apple ID, which i did not create, in which these songs are shown as being purchased under. At one time, my account was hacked into, and the hacker must have changed my ID name somehow (by removing one letter of the original ID name). At the time, i didn't report it; i just created another Apple ID. Thankfully, I was able to log into this hacked account by resetting my password. I did have to supply an answer for my security question, but it was the same. I wouldn't have even known about this other ID if not for emailing a complaint to [email protected]
    What a pain, but so glad it's over with!

  • HT1473 I just got a new computer and loaded Itunes. All my music is on my new Apple Ipod but I do not know how to sync it from the Ipad TO ITUNES so I can put all my playlists back on the computer for home sharing. Can anyone help with the answer? Thanks!

    How do you Sync Playlists (Music) from my ipod Nano TO ITUNES? I know how to sync it the other way, from the computer (Itunes) to the ipad, but I just got a new computer and all the music is only on my Ipod Nano. Any help would be greatly appreaciated. Thanks! Pete B

  • HT1727 How do you grant permission for home sharing and authorizing?  My mac did home share, but now says, "The required directory was not found or has a permissions error", when I try to authorize.

    How do you grant permission for home sharing and authorizing?  My mac did home share, but now says, "The required directory was not found or has a permissions error", when I try to authorize.

    OK, I just got off of the phone with Apple and still no joy. They had me try a few things that did not work, then told me to Archive and Install, which did not either. Anyway, thanks for the additional help very note worthy, but still no joy. Also an email to iTunes Support took me here

    I have a Users/Shared folder but since the files we are talking about are invisible, I can see how it is structured.
    And by the way I tried this one
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3577004#3577004
    and it did not work. However, when I install a fresh copy of Tiger on the external it did authorize the computer and was able to play the downloads. But coping the invisible file to my boot drive was not successful. But , like I said the music did play when I started up from the external. So I guess that may be my only solution, unless someone can tell what the correct directory is and where it for iTunes downloads.

  • I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers.

    I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers. and both are on a stable wireless connection

    Logging into itunes store on each machine wth different Apple IDs is OK Autorising each others machines with the other Apple ID is OK. This is completley separate from Home Sharing
    For Home Sharing to work you need to
    File > Home Sharing > Create Home Share.
    You need to select one of the two Apple IDs you are using and ENTER THIS ON BOTH MACHINES WHEN CREATING THE HOME SHARE.
    Home sharing will then work

    I recently updated to Yosemite and never had this issue before.

    I'm not 100% sure of the ins and outs, but it's some sort of known issue between Yosemite, Airport and wifi. All you can do is wait for a fix and keep restarting your equipment as and when needed, unless you have the ability to connect your Mac via ethernet.

  • So, I have created my home sharing from my base computer to my laptop. On my lap top I see the tab for home sharing but it will not let me connect to my computer to share my music over. I have done everything iTunes has told me to but it still won't work.

    So, I have created my home sharing from my base computer to my laptop. On my lap top I see the tab for home sharing but it will not let me connect to my computer to share my music over. I have done everything iTunes has told me to but it still won't work. Any help would make my day...

    I got some more info that may help.
    I put a cd on my laptop, and was able to share it to my computer... So the problem is only from my computer to my laptop. I tried the firewall thing and it did not help. I read the rest of the trouble shooting page, and nothing else applies. iTunes is an execption and already was. I can not think of anything else being my problem. Do you think I should re-install iTunes or would that be a waste of time? At this point I am about to just call Apple for some help because I am getting to stressed over this.
    Thanks

  • I tunes is telling me I have reached the limit for home sharing authorizations

    I tunes is telling me that I have maxed out the number of authorizations I'm allowed for home sharing.
    How do I fix this?

    Thanks,

    You have five computers authorized to play iTunes music on your account,  you will need to unauthorized one of the computers to get your Powerbook G4 online. This link will help you,http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420

  • HT4352 I'm using the correct APPLE ID and password for Home Sharing on my computer but my AppleTv is not accepting it?  What's up with that???

    I'm using the correct APPLE ID and password for Home Sharing on my computer but my AppleTv is not accepting it?  What's up with that???

    I have the exact same issue. I also tried resetting my password. I can log in to iTunes on my laptop with the new password, on to my iPhone iTunes, but my Apple TV says it cannot recognize my password. I just did an Apple Tv software update a few days ago.
    I am able to log in to Netflix on my Apple TV just fine. I did not have to re-enter my password for that.
    Very frustrating. I hope Apple can figure this out soon and post a fix.
    Thanks for any advice.  Cheers.

  • HT3819 Isn't the five computer limit for home sharing restrictive given the many devices one household may have?

    Isn't the five computer limit for home sharing restrictive given the many devices one household may have?

    It is only restrictive if you have more than 5 computers.
    Otherwise it is not restrictive at all.
    devices do not count, only computers.
    You have more than 5 computers on the same home network.

  • I want to make a new computer my "home" computer for itunes. How do I make it the new "system administrator" for home sharing?

    I want to make a new computer my home computer for my itunes library. How do I make it the new 'system administrator' for home sharing?

    Yes, on the right side of the U.K. Apple Store homepage there will be an "Education Store." You can get something like 10% off, it seems.

  • Apple TV 2 Can See My Library, But Can't Connect for Home Sharing

    I'm really at my last rope, so hoping someone will have mercy and be able to help here.
    Symptoms:
    - Go to my Apple TV 2
    - Under the Home Sharing menu, select "Adam Nash's Library"
    Result:
    - Spinning cursor
    - Cannot connect to "Adam Nash's Library".  Please check that your computer is on and on the same network.
    Internet access works for all devices, they all can do Netflix and Apple Store.  Only one network in the house.  No firewall activated on the mac.
    I have multiple AppleTV units, and this has intermittently affected all of them.  Periodically, I have solved the problem by taking them on / off ethernet.
    Things I have tried:
    - Restarting iTunes on the computer
    - Turning Home Sharing on and off on AppleTV
    - Turning Home Sharing on and off on iTunes
    - Rebooting the computer
    - Resetting the AppleTV units
    - Restoring the AppleTV units
    - Forcing the AppleTV units to different IP
    - Forcing the AppleTV units to Ethernet instead of Airport (by plugging into Airport base stations directly)
    - Swapping AppleTV units to different rooms
    Nothing works.
    One clue.  I have three Airport Extreme base stations in the house, and this problem begain when one of them started misbehaving (would connect, but wouldn't pass through packets.)  It's an Airport Extreme Base Station (Series 1).  The other two are Series 4 & Series 5.  I reset the misbehaving box and reconfigured it, and seems to be working fine from a networking standpoint.  But once that happened, one of the AppleTVs started showing this problem.
    Is there some reason that Home Sharing is hyper sensitive to the network in some way?  It *seems* like what's happening is that it's seeing the iTunes Library (which is why it show's the Library name), but when it tries to connect, something is either encrypted differently or permissioned wrong. 
    Hoping someone can help me.  Frustration is at 11.

    One clue: I have found a reliable way to solve the problem when it happens.
    In my network, I have the main Airport Extreme (Gen 1) which is connected to my router, which distributes IP addresses to my internal subnet.  The other two AEs (one Gen 4, one Gen 5) are set to extend the network.
    When I get this problem with an AppleTV 2 that can "see" my library, but when I try to open it, it says it couldn't find the library, it seems to have to do with a change in which Airport Extreme it's talking to.
    If I restart the main Airport Extreme from the Airport Utility, effectively restarting the entire wireless network, then when the network resumes, every AppleTV 2 is happy again.
    Unfortuntely, the problem does seem to recur - but I'm wondering if it's because temporary interference leads an AppleTV 2 to try to connect to a different AE, and somehow that's mucking with the Home Sharing.  Remember, internet access (Trailers, Store, Netflix) have no issues.  Purely Home Sharing.
