Can only stream in home sharing!!??

No "import" or "settings" buttons available in the lower right hand corner of itunes as stated in the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819
even after shared content has been selected. Drag and drop will not work either. No way to import songs from one shared computer to another at this point, only stream. All computers are home share enabled on the same itunes account. Help appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Paddy McGee,
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
If the Music app is becoming unresponsive when connecting to your PC iTunes library over Home Sharing, the troubleshooting steps in this article may help:

I'd recommend steps 4 through 7 in particular.
Sincerely,

Can't stream iTunes (Home Sharing) to iPhone 6

I have a shiny new iPhone 6 64 GB, and iTunes 12.0.1 running on a Win 8.1 box. I'm trying to connect my iPhone to my iTunes library via Home Sharing in the Music app. My iTunes library appears in the list of shared libraries, but the app stalls when I try to connect to this share. The pinwheel/progress indicator gets to about 10-50% (it varies widely) before it stops altogether.
I've tried disabling Windows Firewall and Windows Defender, but neither make a difference. Is there a router setting I need to tweak? Is there a library size limitation? The library I'm trying to stream from is about 350 GB.
Thanks,
P

TS2972 Can I set up home sharing using my ipad only - my computer is broken?

Can I set up home sharing using my ipad only - my computer is broken?

I believe the first requirement of home sharing is a computer using the latest version of iTunes http://www.apple.com/support/homesharing/getstarted/

HT3819 Since the last AppleTV update I can no longer use home sharing. chI have checked all IDs, rebooted iTunes, AppleTV, and my router, eck port settings in my firewall. Nothing works. Is it me or did this update screw things up?

Hi,
I tried everythink, but same as before!
- droppings ot the main screen
- loosing Home Share
now even on iPads !
Frustrating!
I'm now more than convinced that this is caused by the latest iTunes version.
As some others stated in other threads .... it seems that Apple doesn't really take care of this problem. So what if, if we could make them feeling the same pain as we do. ... Just by dropping them a mail as soon as we have the problem again. Not more often, we don't want to be unfair, but everytime it happens.
I found this feedback site http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
I will start now with this.... maybe this will help to rise a little bit of attention

This is the mailbody I always use
Hello all,
Since the last update to iTunes Version 10.6.1 (7) streaming content (Movies and TV shows) to Apple TVs and iPads has two major problems:
- Home Sharing is lost during streaming (streaming stops even if a large portion of the content is already preloaded)
- streaming stops and the main screen pops up (Home Sharing still available)
This happens sometime after some minutes, sometimes after several hours, but it surely happens.
I followed every advice I could found on this support website. There are now a lot of threads following this issue.
Sometimes it seems getting better, but hours later the same isues occured again. Watching content on this enviroment is a real pain and very frustrating.
As many others I'm now convinced that the latest update of iTunes caused this problem.
Our family enviroment contains the following Apple products:
- iTunes on a Win7 32 bit Noname PC (all content)
- second iTunes on a iMac with OS 10.6.8 (all content)
- third iTunes on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.8 (daughter, only selected content)
- fourth iTunes on a Win7 32 Samsung Notebook (son, only selected content)
- all iTunes sharing the same Home Sharing ID
- 2 Apple TV second generation
- 1 Apple TV first generation
- 2 iPod touch (bought last year)
- 2 iPads (second generation)
all firmware or software are on latest available patchlevel.
At this moment, I can not recomend to others to buy this products.
I will drop this feedback everytime my famiily and I facing this problem... just to help you to get a better feeling of the urgency of this issue.
Thanks for every effort in advanced.

HT1338 Can't turn on home sharing in iTunes

I have Lion and can't turn on Home Sharing. I get an error message 5506. I have a verified Apple ID and password

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You would only need homesharing on your iPad if you want to use the remote app (which is quite handy actually). To be able to use the iPad with the Apple TV, you use AirPlay, but the iPad won't show up in a list on the Apple TV, you send content from the iPad itself.
Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't. You can only homeshare over your home network.

HT201413 Why can't I get Home Sharing to show up in my Itunes?

I have three computers authorized on my Home Sharing, but when I call up Itunes on any of the computers, Home Sharing computers do not show up. Can someone help me. I just got a new computer and can't seem to get my Itunes library switched over.

Can you still use Home Sharing?

     Can you still use Home Sharing?    I have a Mac Mini (10.6.3) a Ipad (3rd Gen.) and a 3rd Gen. Apple TV. All on the same home network and router. All three have Home Sharing turned on. All with the same account and all with the same password but they don't see each other. Since we're talking about three devices that don't see each other, I figure it must be something in the way I have it setup or Apple did away with the function.
     Can anyone point me in the right direction or shed some light on this problem.
     Thanks

Well I can tell you that Apple did not do away with it because I am still using home sharing. Maybe you should go through this support article.

I can no longer activate home sharing on my Apple TV

I have an Apple TV 2nd (or 3rd) generation. It was working fine until I updated the firmware one month ago. I can no longer activate home sharing. The WIFI connection works fine as I was able to restore the device. Home sharing is active on my computer (and my iPad and iPhone). When I try to activate home sharing on Apple TV it says that the Apple ID or password are incorrect. I know it is not the case as reentered it many times and very carefully. I also rest the device many times and restored the software twice.

Bump... I have the same issue (on Ipad 4 and Itunes on Windows 7).

Troubleshooting Home Sharing with Apple TV (2nd generation)

How can i access my home shared videos from my iPad2 if I now have iTunes match?

how can i access my home shared videos from my iPad2 if I now have iTunes match?

That's exactly what I meant, but for some reason Home Sharing stopped working on my iPad2 once I activated iTunes Match.
Since then, I waited for iTunes Match to finish setting up and scanning my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro and I restarted my iPad2. Both Home Sharing and iTunes Match are now up and running smoothly!
Thanks for the reply!
