Can't see the Home Sharing Icon

I can't see the home sharing icon on the left hand itunes menu despite having activated the home share in the advanced settings tab. Can anyone help?

Hey I had the same problem,
Thanks to you I found it.
It's not supposed to be there, once you activate it it goes away.
If you want to see it, go to the advanced tab, click turn it off, then turn it back on, but don't say DONE on the last step or it hides it.
If you go to other computers or laptops it should probablly be there if that's how you configured it...
hopefully that helps, (:

  • HT3819 How can I turn on my home sharing on my iPad far I don't know we're to find the home sharing icon on my iPad

    I've been trying to use my home sharing but don't know where it is locate on my iPad or how to accessed it so how can I find the home sharing icon

    iPad-settings, movies, home sharing. Music-home sharing. Both under settings on the iPad. Enter your apple I'd and password in both spots.  If you have a computer, turn on homesharing on iTunes as well. Homesharing has to be all turned on with the SAME apple I'd. Even if it's your iPad and a wife's iPad, pick one apple I'd and put that apple I'd in both of those spots even if it's not your iPad. Kinda confusing.

  • Is there a way to delete an app when you can't see the app's icon?

    Is there a way to delete an app when you can't see the app's icon? I have so many apps that they don't all show up on the existing screens. I know it can be done by connecting to a computer and using iTunes, but I'm on the road away from my Mac.

    I tried that and instead of showing me the inaccessible screens, it just shortens the number of available screens. Then if I reset the home screen in preferences it removes the folders I created and I'm back to square one.

  • Cant find the home sharing icon on my ipad

    The support page tells me to enter a file name but not where to enter it I cant see a home sharing icon on the iturnestore page

    Look in Settings > Music > Home Sharing. What is required is your Apple ID.
    Home Sharing must also be turned on in iTunes on your computer (File Menu > Home Sharing) and iTunes must be running.

  • I have a similar question to the one Brendan posted a day or two ago. My wife's MacBook Pro will find my library for home sharing, but my ACER will not even display the home sharing icon. Home sharing on, latest version on iTunes.

    I want to get some music from my wife's MacBook Pro via Home Sharing. We both have Home Sharing turned on. Her's displays the Home Sharing icon, and recognizes my library. My ACER will not display the Home Sharing icon, and I cannot access her library. I have verified I have the latest version of iTunes, I have turned Home Sharing off and on again, and still no icon.

    Where do I see the home sharing on my iPad?

    I'm not sure what you mean, but of you think that you have home sharing set up properly on your computer and on the iPad, for Shared Music - look in the More Tab of the Music App and for Videos - look at the top of the Videos App for the Shared Tab

  • Why can't I find the home sharing icon on my iPad?

    I've tried all the suggestions posted here and on other sites but to no avail...what am I missing?  Thnx

    It took about 25 minutes for my new iPad to actually see my home shared library...Got to "Music app" — It is under the "more" button, look for "shared" house icon... If this doesn't show up (as you mentioned) try restarting your modem (internet router).  Obviously you have to use the same Apple ID and password on all your shared devices.. It's a shame that the SHARED button isn't it's own app on the main screen of the iPad... seems like a no brainer, huh APPLE? WHy should we have to dig for the darn thing?

  • We have one computer with two users how do we use the home sharing icon if it disappears and we can't have itunes on both at the same time

    my dad just got an ipod touch and we used to share one user name and he wanted his own, now he wants to get his songs from my user to his without using CD's, i want to use the Home Sharing, but when i try to the icon disappears and i don't know how to use it.

    With Firefox 23 and TabMixPlus 0.4.1.0 installed, an additional box is added to the Tabs options panel that allows 3 options for the tab bar:
    *One is to '''Always''' hide the tab bar. I do not know whether future versions of TabMixPlus will remove that option. I have tested in Firefox 23 and it is possible to completely hide the tab bar regardless of the number of tabs open.
    Other options added in the additional box with TabMixPlus 0.4.1.0 are:
    *Never
    *When I have only one tab

  • Manual Migration to Mountain Lion: but can't see the home library folder.

    Hi,
    This is my first post in the Apple support community.
    I'm moving from iMac running Snow Leopard to my MacBook Pro retina running Mountain Lion.
    I only want to move what I really need, and leave all the old software and old files behind.
    I put the MacBook Pro in target disc mode and started moving things through a FireWire 800 cable, connected to a Thunderbolt port through an Apple adapter.
    Until I came to the items in the home library folder to move - and, of course - I couldn't see the home library folder on my retina MacBook Pro.
    The key question is: can I make it visible for the time of the move?
    Should I put the old iMac in target disc mode and handle the move from the retina Macbook Pro side and unhide the library folder using the Command + Shift + G keystroke?
    Or are the days of manual migration over due to the hidden home library folder?
    Applecare support noted I should use the migration assistant, and that I could chose the files I wanted to move.
    Can you really do it in such a detail as during a manual migration?
    Thanks!

    Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and provide ~/Library/ as the path.

  • How can I access the Home Sharing Library from my iPad?

    We have an ipad 2 with ios 7, and an imac with itunes 11.1.3
    Just heard about home sharing and want to use this - surprised we haven't heard of it before
    home sharing is turned on in itunes (file > home sharing).
    home sharing is on for the ipad (settings > music)
    They are both connected to the same wifi network (usually our computer doesnt use wifi and is wired, but we turned wifi on just for this)
    When I open music in the ipad (even after continually quitting and reopening the app) there is no 'more' button in the bottom right that there is supposed to be.
    What is wrong? How do I access the library from the ipad? Help please!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    More does more than home sharing, so it's odd that it isn't there, even if home sharing wasn't working for some reason. Are you sure you are in the music app and not the iTunes App.
