Can't log into Home sharing from an iPhone to computer via wifi

Every time I log into home sharing from my iPhone 4S it loads halfway and stays there until it times out. I've restarted everything, verified all network connections. No firewall. I used to be able to stream music to my phone, but can't any more. The only possible change (aside from major updates from Apple), was a substantial increase in the size of my library around the same time. But my iPod Touch was still able to sync, as well as a friends iPad. Any ideas?Every time I log into home sharing from my iPhone 4S it loads halfway and stays there until it times out.

  • I can't log into App Store from my iPhone although I have entered the correct email and password.

    Please help me out

    If you are here to complain, you should know that we are just users like you.
    If you are here to get help, we might be able to do that.
    Can you give me your zip code where you are located and I can find what is called an Apple Specialist independent of Apple, but that normally has inside contacts, who can help you.
    It is difficult for Apple to support iTunes related issues over the phone, though they are getting better at it.
    Do you have an ipad 2?
    If you have an ipad 2, does your Apple ID work with Facetime?
    Let me know. This is for troubleshooting purposes.
    Make sure you are entering the right e-mail address in addition to the password.
    Does your Apple ID end in me.com or mac.com? Are you paying for MobileMe? If you have paid for MobileMe in the past, but aren't now, it's possible you may still have your MobileMe address as your Apple ID. If you are currently paying for MobileMe, you may be entitled to chat support.
    What version of itunes are you running on your computer? What version of the ipad operating system? Are you jailbroken or not?

  • Why can't i find Home Sharing on my iPhone 4?

    I want to enable Home Sharing on my iPhone but it isn't listed in my phone to connect to Home Sharing. Also my iPhone is from Verizon...

    Actually modular747 your right i don't have a question.  I was responding to the original poster as to why he can't find home sharing on his iphone.  And you misquote me, I did not call you lying apple employees.  Maybe you should read my posts.  But let me quote myself for you since you won't read,
    "If they are liars about the iPhone 4 on their website they don't mind lying about iOS 5.  Telling a half truth is still a lie."
    And I asked if wjosten was an Apple employee.  If you don't tell the truth, what are you? A liar.  If you murder someone what are you?  A murderer.  So I am just saying if Apple Inc. tells half truths then to me they are still liars.  Thats all.  I did find the link useful though. At the top of it it leads prospective users to believe this statement.
    The world’s most advanced mobile operating system keeps getting better. Download the free iOS 4.3 Software Update and get new features that let you do even more with your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. The software update is free. It’s easy. And you can download it right now.
    Funny that even at the bottom of the page it doesn't mention a difference between AT&T or Verizon phones.

  • Can I set up home sharing from my iPad? Or does it need to be a "real" computer?

    I'm trying to set up my new Apple TV on home sharing.  I'm doing it from my iPad.  When I go into iTunes from my iPad, it doesn't give me the "advanced" option.
    Do I need to set this up from my PC?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes you can set up homesharing on your iPad (settings > music), however the library won't display on the Apple TV as it does from itunes on a computer. Use AirPlay from the ipad to play music from it on the Apple TV.

  • I want to connect my ipad mini to my Apple TV. There isn't a option when I double tap on my ipad button for connecting to the tv and I also can't connect to home sharing from my iTunes settings. Can someone talk to me in simple terms. Thanks

    So I have a ipad min. I want to connect it to my Apple TV. There is no option on my ipad for home sharing which my Apple TV is telling me to do.
    Can somebody please just explain it to me in simple terms where I can find the home sharing and what I have to do to connect my Apple TV to the ipad or vice versa.
    Everything I have bought from apple in the past month has been a complete let down its taking far to long to connect things and the people who sell the products to you lie about what the product does and can do.
    Can someone help me please
    Thanks

    AirPlay isn't anything to do with homesharing. (Home sharing lets you share the iTunes libraries on computers)
    Basic AirPlay: 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.
    Mirroring: 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.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    Restart your mobile device.

  • How can I log into my itunes account on a different computer?

    You see, I have a PC and my husband has a mac. My PC has recently died (due, I might add, to some music I downloaded from itunes that decided not to work properly, prevented any upgrades on the PC and then brutally killed it), but I need to sync my iphone (I'm upgrading) only when I plug it into his mac I only see his music... I've got A LOT more music than he does and I don't want to lose it all. I would have thought it'd be easier on a mac, you know, plug and go, but apparently not.
    I played with the sharing function, only then it told me to upgrade to iTunes 10.something and the sharing option went away. I have checked the firewall (it's not even activated) so it can't be that. I have found that when I go into the advanced settings, turn off sharing and turn it on again the option comes up in the left pane... asks me to sign in... and then disappears as soon as I select 'done' (the only option available).
    It probably doesn't help that I don't know my way around a mac, but pretty soon I'm going to throw it out the window.
    The main reason I'm stressing out is that I just activated my sim, and at the END of it the recorded message said I'd have to sync my new phone when I was done, but I'm not going to be able to do it with MY stuff, only his... HELP?!?

    Same way you logged into it from your computer.
    Open itunes, sign into your account.

  • Can I log into my iTunes account through someone elses computer?  How..

    how do I log into my iTunes account to watch a movie I've downloaded on someone elses computer?

    Did you download a movie from iTunes while you were logged into your Apple ID or were you logged into the other person's Apple ID?
    By double-clicking the the movie file, it should prompt you to login with the ID that purchased the movie.

  • My new iPad has the wrong iCloud account (restored an old backup from previous iPad). It's pointing to an account that no longer exists and now I can't delete it because I can't log into it. Find my iPhone wants me to log in before deleting the account.

    I have an old iPad2, and received a new iPad Air. When I set up the iPad Air, I started as a backup from the iPad2, instead of treating it as a new iPad setup. It also asked if I wanted to set up Find My iPhone and I said yes. Problem is that I also (previously) changed the primary email address on my iCloud account, but never changed the iCloud setup on my iPad. So now the iPad Air has iCloud pointing to the email address as the account name. I want to just delete this account and enter the new email, but Find My iPhone won't let me - it asks for my password first. Problem is, it won't accept the correct password because the primary email has changed.

    If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Trying to sign into Home Sharing hangs iTunes 10.1.1

    Has anyone else had this issue?
    Updated to 10.1.1 this morning on one of my PCs and I can't sign into Home Sharing. I click Create Home Share and iTunes hangs and needs killing via task manager.
    I've got iTunes on another PC running 10.1.0.56 and signing into Home Sharing there is fine.
    Any ideas?

    I've had similar issues with iTunes hanging.
    Looks like your library is messed up.
    I've moved all of my library files from:
    C:\Users\[Username]\Music\iTunes
    As in:
    iTunes Library*
    And
    iTunes Music Library.xml
    After that iTunes was starting up again.

  • Network home sharing from iPad?...

  • Can I access my Itunes library from my brother's computer so I can download my library to his new Ipod/  I have almost all CD loaded music and little purchased music.  THANK YOU!!!

    Can I access my Itunes Library from my brother's computer via the internet so I can download my Library to his new IPod?  Thanks!

    The songs that you want to sync need to be on the "local" storage of the computer being used to sync the iPod.

    Go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Go through all the tabs to download again for free

  • 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?"

  • How do you stop mobile sites from loading in safari automatically on my iPad? I can't log into mobile me because of this.

    How do you stop mobile sites from loading in safari automatically on my iPad? I can't log into mobile me because of this.

    The me.com website is not designed for or intended to be accessed by iOS devices. Apple provides support in iOS or seperate Apps for accessing all aspects of MobileMe except for the Accounts section.
    Use MobielMe as intended and you'll have no problems.
    See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1673
    Even if you use a different browser to get access to me.com on iOS, you'll find most of it is unusable.
    Other websites that present you with the mobile version have been programmed to do so by their developers. They specifically look for users accessing from 'mobile' devices and switch to the mobile site. Many such sites provide a link to go back to the 'full' site, if not, there's not a lot you can do except use a browser that can pretend not to be a mobile browser.
