Can't control what gets Home Shared?

Hey gang-
I have Home Sharing enabled on my desktop iMac as well as on our brand new Apple TV. Works great- except that I want to Home Share only my Music from iTunes- not my Movies or TV Shows. In the iTunes Preference Pane, under Sharing, I have chosen "Selected Playlists" and only "Music".
But on Apple TV under Computers it continues to display all my Movies and TV Shows- in addition to Music. Is there no way to control this? I rebooted both my Mac and power-cycled the Apple TV, but no help.
Thanks!
Dave

Same problem here. I went away for a few days and came back to find ATV2 not connecting to network...despite the network being clearly visible and connected in the setting menu. ATV2 would say its not connected and not be able to access the Itunes library.
I reset everything, re-entered all the info and finally decided that the ATV had gone wrong, went out and bought a new one (i need 2 anyway) got home to find that the original one had now decided to work ok. Sadly it only did so for about an hour now its gone off again.
Bloody frustrating. I updated it hoping it would fix the problem but to no avail.

  • I just can't seem to get Home Sharing to work...

    I'd really appreciate your advice please...
    The setup - One PC running Itunes, one Apple TV on a wired connection and an Iphone and Ipad connected over wi-fi.  All are running the latest and greatest software versions.
    I now want to be able to stream from Itunes to the mobile devices.  I have set up Home Sharing on Itunes, and turned on Sharing in "Music" and "Videos" in both Ipad and Iphone.  However, I don't get the "shared" option on either. 
    If I go into Itunes and select File>Home Sharing>Turn Off Home Sharing, then turn it back on again, then a "Shared" item appears under Libraries.  However, as soon as I click "Done", it disappears again.
    I have tried uninstalling Bonjour and Itunes.  I have restarted all devices, having shut down the applications.  Where should I go from here please?
    Best regards - Michael.

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

  • I can't get home sharing to turn on on my computers. I have a PC running windows XP that has a large library on it that I want to access from a newer windows 7 PC. I have turned home sharing on in both, same apple ID. I just will not come up. Any ideas?

  • Can't get Home Sharing to work with ATV, v7.0.3 and iTunes 12.1.0.50

    I can't get Home Sharing to work. I'm looking at my MacBook screen and iTunes says Home Sharing is On. On Apple TV, it says Turn On Home Sharing in iTunes. Both are using the same Apple ID and password (signed out and signed back in manually on both). I have tried the following: Signing out of and into Home Sharing on Apple TV and iTunes, closing iTunes and restarting the MacBook, restarting and restoring Apple TV to factory settings, restarting my router, all possible iterations of the aforementioned. Nothing seems to work. Also tried renaming my computer in preferences/sharing.
    Any new ideas?
    Using ATV3 software v7.0.3
    iTunes software v12.1.0.50
    MacBook software OS X Yosemite v10.10.2

    Only have one network; wireless. On it's own, the MacBook can use wifi to surf the net and Apple TV can watch movie previews from Apple via wifi.
    It did work about two months ago. I haven't used it since then for home sharing but have used the Apple TV on its own.
    I read the Troubleshooting page on Apple Support. It involves turning various things on and off, which I did

  • HT201413 I cannot get home sharing working, using windows 8 . does anyone have a solution?

    i cannot get home sharing on itunes to work using windows 8. I also have Norton 360 and have unstalled and disabled it but still cannot get home sharing to operate so that i can use the remote APP on my ipad to control music through the house. does anyone have a solution or experienced similar issue?

    Hi Pat,
    Yes I marked the question as Assumed Answered. I needed to move on. I have never taken part in a forum and couldn’t wait any longer for any input so not wanting anyone to waste the time answering me, I marked the question as assumed answered. I guess this was the wrong thing to do and I apologize to the forum.
    I did go another route and loaded and enlarged the photo in Photoshop Elements, Then cropped the photo to the area I needed to reprint. I probably should have done this in the first place!
    Again, my apology to the forum for my lack of patience in waiting for a reply.

  • I have the latest AppleTV and Ipad, I cannot get home sharing.

    I have the latest AppleTV and Ipad. I cannot get home sharing working, all settings are correct but nothing happens. I returned to the apple store who connected TV box directly to network with cable and home sharing worked between the 2 devices.
    I went home and switched on, it worked (both on wifi). Next day tried again, thinking it was all there and nothing.
    I tried the tips on the community pages without success. I called Apple helpline, they ran through all my settings which were correct, but still nothing, after 2/3 days they called me back to tell me to wait for Apple software update to solve this problem !!
    is something happening on this issue, please can someone tell me. On my old Ipad I just used a Component cable, but this will not work with the new pad, I got the adaptor plug and nothing happens, no output.
    Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks

    I'd have to Agree, You checked on iTunes to make sure it was Turned on? Check your Router make sure it's working incase, cause sometimes it's the little Things that make it not work.

  • Why do I have to restart iTunes on my iMac to get Home Sharing to work again on my ATV2 and ATV3?

    Last week I ordered two more Apple TVs 3rd generation.  I have connected them to my network and the ATV2 that I had, seems to be working differently.  I have to restart my iTunes on my iMac to get Home Sharing to work again.  I go to Apple Support and reference this page (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972) and it seems to be the only solution, reset iTunes.
    I currently have all apple products from end to end.  This doesn't seem to be working out as seamless as it should.  Any suggestions?

    Until Apple gets off their butts to fix this, you can do this.  Create a workflow that 1. Closes iTunes, 2. Pauses 10 seconds, 3. Opens iTunes.  Then Save it as an Application.
    Then...
    Create an Apple Script by "recording yourself" launching your new workflow.  Save that Apple Script.
    Finally..
    Go into Mail, and create a Rule that when you receive an email with the subject as "Restart iTunes" it will run your Apple Script (wchich launches your workflow app).
    Just send yourself an email from you chair!!!  :-)  Please reply if this works for you.  It works GREAT for me on Mountain Lion!
    Enjoy!

  • HT4527 How on earth do you get Home Sharing to work properly?  We have tried multiple times and it simply doesn't work for us!

    How on earth do you get Home SHaring to work?  We have tried numerous times and it simply doesn't work for us!

    Turn it on.
    Honestly, if you want help it is generally a good idea to ask a specific question and give some details of what problem is occurring.
    If trying to move media, using home sharing is simply a bad idea.  Follow some of the other instructions in the article from which the question was posted to move media.

  • Can't play music via "Home Sharing"

    Hi,
    I have my Itunes Library on my 32-bit home desktop (Win XP SP3) and I just purchased a 64-bit laptop (Win 7 Home). I enabled 'Home Sharing' on both computers and I can see the desktop library on my laptop, but can't play the music. I first get a message saying that I need to 'Authorize' the machine and then after I 'Authorized' it, I still wouldn't play, but now it says that this machine is already 'Authorized', so why doesn't it play the music? Please help...
    Thanks,

    I just realized that the "Home Sharing" does work. The problem is the songs that I purchase a while back (2007) is where I am having the problem. However, newer purchases (2009, 2010) have no problems playing on my Win & Laptop. Does anyone know why these older purchases can not be played using "Home Sharing"??

  • Can Apple TV work from home sharing if not connected to internet?

    I have recently purchased Apple TV but where it has to be connected to the TV it cannot be detected by the Airport Wifi router that is placed on the property.
    I can use my Macbook to connect to the internet, but can I some how use home sharing to my Apple Tv even if it is not connected to the internet?
    If not, is there any other possible way to get Apple TV to work?

    I would get a pair of mains powerline networking adapters to send ethernet from the router to the AppleTV across the mains.
    Unfortunately AppleTv requires internet to briefly authorise protected content and won't work without it via Home Sharing.
    A while since I tested unprotected content but I suspect that won;t work either as AppleTV needs internet to set the time.

  • I rented a movie. I want to see it using different user on same mac for security reason. How can I do this? Home Sharing fails to do this, so far.

    I rented a movie. I want to see it using different user on same mac for security reason. How can I do this? Home Sharing fails to do this, so far.

    Copy the movie from the current library to the correct library.
    iDevices can only sync to one library at a time.
