Can i use home sharing while mixing wired and wireless connections?

I have an HP Pavilion desktop connected to my wireless router with an Ethernet cable.  My AppleTV is connected wirelessly to the 5GHz band on my simultaneous dual-band wireless-N router.  How do I share photos and music from the HP desktop to the AppleTV using Home Sharing?

I have a similar problem.
I have 2 computers (and other ethernet addressable devices (printer etc) upstairs connected into a gigabit switch (d-link DG-2205) - computer A is an old 2002 G4 without wifi, computer B is a 2010 Mac mini wired into the switch. Downstairs, I have Computer C - a 2012 Mac mini connected to the fios router via wifi and there is a 1080p Apple TV connected via wifi.
Computer A (Wired switch Connection) can only see computer B's (Wired switch Connection) music library.
Computer B (Wired switch Connection) can see both computer A's and computer C's (Wireless router connection) Music library.
Computer C (Wireless router connection)) can see computer B's (Wired switch Connection) music library.
Apple TV can see computer B and C.
The problem is that computer A Is the music computer That I want to stream throughout.
If computer A and B can see each other, and computer C and AppleTV can see computer B, then why can't everyone see computer A ?
Any response appreciated.
What version of iTunes is the Computer A running - it may not support Home Sharing.

  • Can i use home sharing between my computer and my ipad?

    can I use home sharing between my computer and my new ipad (3rd generation)  if so, how.
    Thanks

    You can use it to share the library on your computer to the iPad, not the other way around.
    On the computer, set up homesharing in the advanced menu. On the iPad go to settings > music.

  • How to set up WRT54GS so the wired and wireless connections both work?

    I have a DSL line in to a Motorola modem.
    The modem is connected to the WRT54GS with an ethernet cable.
    When I connect my computers directly into the WRT54GS with an ethernet cable (there are four connection spots at the back of the box), I cannot go to the internet.  I have 3 computers plugged in, but none of them connect via Ethernet..
    Is there a setting on the router so that I can use the router for both wired and wireless connectivity?
    Added info: I tried to connect directly from the computer to the modem, but again, got no connectivity.  When I "chatted" with ATT, they told me the modem is set to "bridge", and that I could connect only one device.  I don't want to change this setting because I want to use the router for the wireless capability.  Besides which, I have more than one computer to connect to the internet.
    How come I cannot just plug in and go?  
    My firmware version is v2.07.1. 
    I don't know how to find out what hardware version I have.
    Other info is "DirectEthernet Connection, Speed: 100.0 Mbps, Signal Strength: Excellent, Status: Connected"
    Also "1394 Connection 3, Speed: 400.0 Mbps, Status: Connected"  
    I don't know what that's for, but thought it might prove useful to those of you who are knowledgeable about such things.
    Wireless is ok, but if I'm sitting right next to the router, I'd like to connect with Ethernet and take advantage of the better speed, etc.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Can I use home sharing to watch a rented movie on itunes on another computer

    can I use home sharing to watch a rented movie on itunes on another computer (I already have home sharing with other computers set up, but I don't see it.)?

    Please be aware of the movie rental's time limitation that you have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to finish watching it. You may watch it as many times as you like during those 24 hours. It may be helpful to make sure the download completes successfully before you begin watching the movie.
    Once the download is complete you can watch it without an Internet connection. However, an Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback or activate the 24 hours time-limit of movie rentals. This means, only during the starting of the movie. Once you have started playing the movie rental, internet connection is not required. You can play anywhere without internet connection.
    You may need to validate the rental prior to watching so it starts the rental period timer and for that you will need an internet connection. You can probably do that by starting the rented movie while on the Airport Wifi or right before leaving home. You'll have 24 hours to watch the movie after you start it.
    For more information on movie rentals, you can visit:
    iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657
    Note: 24 hours time limit is for United States customer only, while 48 hours for other countries.

  • How can I use home sharing between our iphones (create playlists from both accounts at once)

    How can I use home sharing between our iphones, so that we can create playlists with songs from both of our libraries?  We share a Macbook Pro (separate accounts) and each have the new iphone, but when I have my iphone and try to create a new playlist, I can only grab songs from one account.  Is there a way to create a playlist using both accounts since we are sharing?
    Does it have to be created within iTunes first on our Mac?

    The short answer: because Home Sharing isn't designed for sharing apps, and apps aren't designed to be shared.
    The longer answer:  Think of it like this...
    You download some music in iTunes.  With Home Sharing, another user can listen to it by streaming it over the network.  But the data itself is on your computer.  If you turn off the computer or take it off the network, the other user can't access it.
    But if you send another user the app, they aren't just streaming the data- they installed it on their iOS device.  Because they weren't the one that purchased it, such a transfer could easily be considered "piracy" or "stealing," and nobody likes that (least of all, Apple). 
    When iTunes sees this app, it obviously recognized it, as if saying, "Hey, how did you get this app on your device, if I have no record of you purchasing/downloading it from the iTunes store?"

    If you are using the same iTunes library (meaning the exact same iTunes folder), it should work fine.

  • Can i use home sharing if me and my wife have different apple ID accounts?

    can i use home sharing if me and my wife have different apple ID accounts?

    Yes.
    You need to sign into home sharing using ONE Apple ID. So either pick yours or hers, use the same one for home sharing on the computers. Once they are signed in on both Macs you can access media that the other user purchased.
    Click the 'Shared House' for her library (if you have the sidebar enabled) when you are in your iTunes to access her media & vice versa, both iTunes needs to be running & awake.

  • Can I use home sharing if the other computer is off?

    I have a Mac Book Pro and my husband has Dell Desk Top PC...can he use home sharing to hear my music if my Mac is not on?
    Also can he permanently put my library on his computer using home sharing?

    No your computer has to be on to  listen to the music.
    If your husband wants to listen to the music on your machine without it being on he would have to use the HomeSharing to import them to his machine

  • HT3819 Can I use Home Sharing to permanently Transfer my old iTunes Library to a new macbook pro?

    Hi,
    I have a quick questoin regarding iTunes Home Sharing. 
    1. Can I use Home Sharing to transfer music from my iTunes Library on my old Power Mac to iTunes on my new MacBook Pro?
    2. If I deauthorise iTunes on my old Power Mac will I lose my music on my new iTunes Library on my Macbook Pro - essentially are the two somehow linked together? I want to erase my old HD, wipe it clean, chuck it in a case and use as a back up storage, and then sell my old Power Mac.
    Thanks in advance.
