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.

    Since the last AppleTV update I can no longer use home sharing. I have checked all IDs, re-booted iTunes, my router, and AppleTV, and checked the port settings in my firewall. nothing works. Is it me or did this last update really scew 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

    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.

  • Can you still use 4g if you buy ipad 4 at Korea and micro simcard at netherlands?

    As it says,
    If you buy an ipad 4 (with retina display) in Korea,
    can you still use with Netherland's micro-simcard?

    You can use it in the Netherlands, but only on a GSM network. LTE is not supported in the Netherlands at this time.

  • Can I use iTunes Match while I'm away from Home, and my family still use Home Sharing via Apple TV?

    I would like to be able to use my iTunes Match account as I am frequently away from home.
    However, my family would also like to be able to use Home Sharing to listen to music, watch movies stored on the family iMac, using the Apple TV.
    At the moment, iTunes Match & Apple Store uses a different Apple ID to Home Sharing.  I don't want the kids to be able to download movies etc on the Apple TV.
    Is there a way that I can achieve both at the same time?

    Yes, iTunes Match alleviates this situation.  As long as iTunes on both of your computers is using the same Apple ID, you can add songs to either one, and once they have uploaded to iCloud, they will be available on any of your iDevices AND in iTunes on the other computer.

  • Can you still use these Apps?

    I have an update for an app that is already on my iPAD. The app's update is for iOS 7. Can I still use such an app on my iPAD just the way it is (in its current version) or do I have to update my iPAD's software  to continue using the app. I mean, as long as the app is already on my iPAD, it shoild still work OK, right?

    The copy of it will continue to work, but if it interfaces with the developer's website, that part of it may eventually stop working if it's not updated.

  • If you format on a Mac can you still use on a PC?

    I know it used to be if you formated you iPod to a pc you could use it on both pc and Mac. But if you formated to a Mac you cant ever use it on a PC. Is that still true?

    Kevin Torres,
    In reviewing this documentation it appears that your statement can work in theory, but is only supported with iPod shuffles: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1335
    Hope this helps,

  • Can you turn off home sharing on a computer that no longer works?

    Had a laptop that died and it was authorized for home sharing. Looking at buying a new one and I'm already at the maximum level of allowable computers (5 of 5). Looking to see if there is a way to deactivate/deauthorize computers that are no longer being used. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Do you have iTunes match? You need a computer to manage an iTunes match library.

  • Can you still use soft motion without the scan engine on crio?

    Where are the trajectory generator property and invoke nodes in softmotion for LV 2011? 
    These functions are not longer found in the pallet?  Are they no longer supported? 
    All the new soft motion examples are using the scan engine.   Can I use soft motion without the scan engine????

    Hi Ian,
    I apologize that this wasn't stated in the release notes. While your code should have upgraded without breaking, the release documentation should have mentioned that the advanced trajectory genertor functionality is no longer supported. If you still want to use the trajectory generator functions, they are still shipped with SoftMotion, they are just not on the palette. I have attached a zip file that has 4 .mnu files that will get them on the palette. To install these, do the following:
    Close LabVIEW
    Make a copy of the following directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\menus\Categories\VisionMotion\_nism. In case something goes wrong, we will want to have a copy of this directory so that we can replace it.
    Copy the 4 .mnu files from the attachement into the above _nism directory (the original, not the copy). If it asks you to replace any of the exisiting files, please do. You don't have to copy the readonly.txt file.
    Start LabVIEW. You should know have the trajectory generator functions in your SoftMotion Advanced palette.
    Keep in mind that we no longer support these functions. This means that they are not tested in new releases and any bugs will likely not get fixed.
    I would recommend that you use the new API for any new designs. You can still get most of the functionality of the old API but without the complexity. If you want to generate setpoints at 5ms then you will run the scan engine at 5ms. This is certainly easier than having to do the timing yourself, but it does take away some control from the user. If you give me a brief overview of what you mean by synchronization, I will let you know the best way to do it with the new API.
    Thanks,

  • Can you still use iweb?

    if iweb is installed on our computer is it still supported, can you start building pages and publish? I hear it is being replaced by easyweb.  I have iweb on a two year old Apple but it is not installed on my new MacBook Pro.

    What system are you running?  iWeb 2 (08) does not work with Mt. Lion. It crashed when publishing to a folder on the hard drive which is the only option iWeb 2 has.
    if you get iWeb 3 from an iLlife 09 or later disk be aware of these restrictions:
    In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • Can you still use itunes if you switch to an android?

    My contract is almost up, and I was really considering getting an androind, GS4. But I still want to use itunes as my default audio player because I have never used anything else. So can you use an andriod on itunes? If not, is there some-other "player" that is as organized and such as itunes?

    No

  • Can you still use iPhoto on the iPad without having a Mac

    I just bought the new iPad, and i'm looking at the iPhoto app.
    I only have a Windows computer, so no iPhoto on a computer.
    Can I still input photos into the app with PhotoStream, or through iTunes shared photos or any other way?
    thanks

    When I watched video reviews of the app, no one covered importing photos.
    The albums and pictures from their iPhoto on their Mac were already setup
    in the iPad app, so I didn't know if they allowed other ways of importing pictures
    into the app.
    So I take it there are multiple ways of getting  my photos from my windows PC
    into this app.
    thanks
