  • Can i use home sharing between my computer and my ipad?

    can I use home sharing between my computer and my new ipad (3rd generation)  if so, how.
    Thanks

    You can use it to share the library on your computer to the iPad, not the other way around.
    On the computer, set up homesharing in the advanced menu. On the iPad go to settings > music.

  • Can you use Time Capsule on a windows and 2 macs at the same time.

    Can you use Time Capsule on a windows and 2 macs at the same time as either a backup for one and a seperate HD drive for two?

    Yes.
    From one viewpoint the Time Capsule is just NAS (Networked Attached Storage) and it supports the file sharing protocols necessary for both Windows and Macs.
    From the viewpoint of the Macs it can also be used by Time Machine for backups.
    As NAS it can be used for storing files, and there are many backup software packages that support NAS on both Windows and Macs.
    In addition from a networking point of view it can serve as a router, wireless access point etc.

  • Can you use home sharing across continents

    Hi,
    My husband is moving to the USA from the UK and we currently have our apple products connected through home share.  Going forward I wanted to understand the following
    -  can we still use home sharing as I will remain in the UK or is it better for my husband to have a separate account using USD?
    -  if my husband has a separate account - can we still share existing purchases or future purchases on our joined account or not?
    -  can we listen to music from both accounts at the same time, or will we have to log in and out to do that?
    Any other tips from people who have experienced and recommendations.
    Thanks,

  • Can i use home sharing while mixing wired and wireless connections?

    I have an HP Pavilion desktop connected to my wireless router with an Ethernet cable.  My AppleTV is connected wirelessly to the 5GHz band on my simultaneous dual-band wireless-N router.  How do I share photos and music from the HP desktop to the AppleTV using Home Sharing?

    I have a similar problem.
    I have 2 computers (and other ethernet addressable devices (printer etc) upstairs connected into a gigabit switch (d-link DG-2205) - computer A is an old 2002 G4 without wifi, computer B is a 2010 Mac mini wired into the switch. Downstairs, I have Computer C - a 2012 Mac mini connected to the fios router via wifi and there is a 1080p Apple TV connected via wifi.
    Computer A (Wired switch Connection) can only see computer B's (Wired switch Connection) music library.
    Computer B (Wired switch Connection) can see both computer A's and computer C's (Wireless router connection) Music library.
    Computer C (Wireless router connection)) can see computer B's (Wired switch Connection) music library.
    Apple TV can see computer B and C.
    The problem is that computer A Is the music computer That I want to stream throughout.
    If computer A and B can see each other, and computer C and AppleTV can see computer B, then why can't everyone see computer A ?
    Any response appreciated.
    What version of iTunes is the Computer A running - it may not support Home Sharing.

  • HT3819 can you use home sharing with other computers

    i got a new laptop, but my old one has all my songs, and i sync my ipod to that one. I tried home sharing so everty time i download on one laptop, it goes to the other but it is not working.

    While it is possible, I have yet to see anyone in these forums report it working successfully.  Simply copy the ENTIRE C:\Users\<user>\Music folder from the old computer to the new computer.

  • HT3819 How can you use Home sharing to play music on an xbox 360 for example thats connected to the same WiFi network?

    My console is running under the same WiFi service as my itunes, iphone, and all the content i have saved in my library. How can i link, perhaps through HomeSharing, my content from my phone or computer to my xbox console?

    You can't.  Homesharing allow to share your iTunes content over Apple's devices.  XBox isn't made by Apple but Microsoft.

  • Can you use home sharing for computers in different states or does it have to be in the same house on the same wifi network?

    I want to be able to share my library and access my fiance's as well, however currently he is in a different state. Do we have to be on the same network fo us to have access to our libraries or can it be done over the internet?

  • Can you use home sharing on Apple TV when computer is asleep?

    I recently got an Apple TV for christmas. I hooked it up and everything was fine. I was able to play music when my computer(Mac Book Pro) was asleep and had no issues till I unplugged it and moved it to my bedroom. Everything is up to date and on the same Wifi connection. It isnt showing up in my itunes either.

    No.  There is no browser.

  • 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?"

    If you are using the same iTunes library (meaning the exact same iTunes folder), it should work fine.
