Cant Find My Imported Movie Through Home Sharing

I imported a movie onto my brother's computer from my Mac Book through home sharing. The import seemed to work fine, but now we can't find the movie on his computer or iTunes. Any ideas? It took a good 15 minutes to transfer so the movie must have gone somewhere right?

Hi!
The same thing happened to me, call apple customer services, it was sorted in minutes. You need to give your ref no. They'll send you another e-mail with the product key. Good luck!

We have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong?

we have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong? it comes to the last loading page where it shows the desscription of the movie befor it acually plays.

It can come about without any change done by the user, and it's not just from other networks. The placement of the router can also affect performance. Also make sure router is up to date.
Apart from that would be the reboots.

Cant change the next song through home sharing

Can I move an iTunes library from Comp1 to Comp2 through Home Sharing? What happens with the first sync? What happens to 3rd party app data (specifically, game scores/levels)?

I need to move an iTunes library from Computer 1 to Computer 2. Can I do this through Home Sharing, by dragging and dropping library items from one to the other? The library consists of iTunes purchases, home shared items and music/movies from our personal collection. Both computers have had all the accounts authorized, so I don't anticipate an issue there. I'd like to do this so that my son's ipod is impacted as little as possible -- specifically, his game scores/levels and other 3rd party data remain intact after the 1st sync and the organization of his icons remain intact.
Is there a way to do this smoothly and easily, protecting his ipod data/organization?

Sorry, I obviously wasn't clear. If you replicate the library from Computer 1 to Computer 2 by copying it, then all will be well. I routinely sync my iPhone and iPad both at home and at work using a single library that I migrate between the two locations via an external drive which is kept up do date using SyncToy.
Backup the iPod touch on Computer 1.
Copy the entire iTunes folder from Computer 1 to Computer 2, replacing any existing iTunes folder on Computer 2.
Check that content is accessible in the migrated library. (Won't be a problem for a standard iTunes library where all the content is inside the iTunes Media folder which in turn is inside your iTunes folder).
Connect iPod touch to Computer 2.
Sync.
In the unlikely event that something goes wrong (it won't) then you can connect the device back to Computer 1 to restore it.
Note device backups are not stored within the iTunes library and stay on the machine on which they were created. It is theorectically possible to migrate them but there isn't really any point. Once you have synced the iPod with the copy of the library on Computer 2 then Computer 2 will make its own backup of the device.

Can no longer play movies via home sharing on Apple TV 2

I'm having trouble sharing movies via iTunes through home sharing. Everything I have is Mac, a 2008 iMac, Airport Extreme, (2) Apple TV 2's, and a Macbook Pro. Everything was fine with this entire setup with all of the movies I've ripped (using the Apple TV 2 settings in Handbrake) until Lion came out. Suddenly I got the 'Content cannot be displayed. Try again later' error message. After much searching, I found that disabling IPv6 was a good solution, temporarily, that is until Apple released iOS 5. I updated the ATV2's, iPhone, and iPad, and iMac with everything that came out during the update, and the issue came back.
I've tried everything I can think of, changing router channels, disabling IPv6 everywhere I saw it, wireless, hardwired, reloading the library, disabling the firewall, countless restarts of all my equipement etc. All of these movies worked perfectly before the updates, and suddenly I cant stream anything through my local MAC network.
Has anyone else seen this? Has anyone found any solutions for this problem? I could really use the help, Apple support is... limited.

Problem solved for me! After trying every possible setting on my equipment, including changing firmware revs on my router, rebuilding my library, re-encoding certain movies, changing all my iTunes, Network, Security, Sharing, and WiFi settings, I finally figured it out.
It looks to be a bug with the new iOS release V4.4 - Assuming you have your movies encoded in 5.1AC3 surround, you have to go into the Audio & Video settings on your ATV2, go down to Dolby Digital, and change the setting from Auto to On. For me at least, it was simple as that. I've tried all the same movies I was trying to play before, only then I was getting 'An error occurred loading this content.' After changing the setting from Auto to On, every single movie began working again, in full surround sound. To test it, I switched the setting back to Auto and the same problem came back. I'm sure Apple will have a fix for this later, but for now, we can assume 'Auto' means 'You cant stream your movies.'
I hope this helps!

Why can't I play AUTHORIZED content through Home Sharing?

I have 2 laptops, one is a doomed Win and the other is a blessed Mac.
I tried home sharing for the first time and to back up my content to my Mac. Both are authorized to play the same content, HOWEVER, some TV shows just won't play (and of course if you can't play it through home sharing, you can't copy it) and I keep getting the authorize computer message!
Any idea why that is?
I can't believe that I had to go over my music, playlists and shows one by one before I can move them into the other library, not to mention that I've purchased those items myself under my account!

If the computer is accessible via home sharing, then it should be possible to simply browse to that computers drive as well.
Simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

I can no longer see all of my videos through Home Sharing on my iPad

I have many Seasons of different TV Programs on my desktop computer. I used to stream that to my iPad or Apple TV through Home Sharing. Now I can only see three out of twenty or more TV Programs. I can see all my movies, but not the TV shows. Does anyone know how to rectify this. I thought rebooting my desktop may help, but did not make any difference. The version of iTunes is 10.5.3.3

Can no one help me with this issue? I can see all videos in iTunes, but not through Home Sharing.
Thanks

Apple TV 2 is on the network but not available through Home Sharing or AirPlay

My ATV2 has been working well for many years but recently won't connect through Home Sharing. It is on the same network as my Mac and I can rent through the iTunes Store, connect my YouTube account etc but it doesn't appear on any devices as an AirPlay option. I'm logged in using the same Apple ID on all machines and devices. I've restarted the ATV2, iTunes, my Mac, my router and checked that everything is running the latest software. They all were except for iTunes, which I updated (12.1), but it had no effect on the problem. I had not recently made any changes to any device or software, that I'm aware of.
It did briefly work (no change made) a day later but wouldn't connect the next time I tried. I've spent the last few days trying to find a solution and found nothing.
Any advice on how to progress?

Hi Darren,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It seems like you're not able to access the iTunes library on your Mac from your Apple TV using Home Sharing.
Restarting all of the devices and updating software are good troubleshooting steps, and next I'd recommend turning off Home Sharing on your Apple TV and Mac, and then back on again.
If necessary, you can refer to these links for Home Sharing setup:
Setting up Home Sharing for Apple TV (2nd generation and 3rd generation) - Apple Support
iTunes: Setting up Home Sharing on your computer - Apple Support
If the issue persists, you may also want to double check your network/router settings using steps four and five in this troubleshooting guide:

Jeremy

Problems viewing a specific movie in Home Sharing.

A new downloaded HD movie wont show up through home sharing on my iPad but will on my iPhone and Apple TV, is there a reason for this?

I meant to add that all my other movies show up fine, and I have tried signing out and back in to home sharing on my iPad in movie settings.

Voice Memos will not play through Home Sharing on other devices.

I have synced my voice memos to my Apple library on my Mac Mini and can listen to them on that device with no problem. However, when I use my iPad or MacBook or Air to play the memos using my Home Sharing the voice memos will not play on the device. Sometimes a random song will start instead of the voice memo. I can play videos and music through Home Sharing with no problems, it seems to be only the voice memos that won't stream to the connected devices. Any help would be great (using Yosemite on devices).

I'm running 4.3.3 on mine and just played Joe Ely's latest album on my 1st generation Zeppelin. I do get the message about it not being compatible and possible noise but I dismiss that and play the music.
You may need to reset your Zeppelin (disconnect it from power, wait 2 minutes, plug it back in), Reset you iPhone (hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttones) or do both.
You may also need to update the firmware on your Zeppelin if you have not done so before now.

I can listen to the Music Library in my Ipad through home sharing, but I can't do it in my Iphone. When Iphone managed to connect my Mac, I can see how a watch turns clockwise but it stops when it arrives at a half of the watch. What can I do?

Can you add items to your iPad from your iTunes library through home sharing?

Sorry I'm a novice to this.
Say I have a video in my iTunes library and I would like to add it to my iPad so I can watch it when I'm not at home without hooking the iPad up to my PC and syncing.
Can I do this through home sharing?
Thanks

Sorry, I miss-typed in my previous post. I meant to say you can't use homesharing to transfer content. (dictation got it wrong, but I should have checked). In order to transfer content from your iTunes library to your iPad, you would need to connect it to your computer via USB or Wi-Fi if you have Wi-Fi syncing enabled.
To enable Wi-Fi syncing you must first connect your iPad to your computer with the USB cable and then turn Wi-Fi syncing on in the settings within iTunes.

Why can't I get album LPs through home sharing to my other computer?

I had just setup itunes on my second computer using the same account through home sharing and it all work well. I then bought an entire album from the itunes store with the LP. The LP automatically got on my first computer and is shown on my second. However i can't access it on the second computer. The text is faded as if it were being downloaded, but it isn't.

When you go to such a place you need to do two things:
Settings > WiFI ... select the place's network and enter the password.
Generally (not every time, but very frequently), the place will have a "Terms and Conditions" you must agree to in order to use their WiFi. Those Terms and Conditions will appear either once you enter the WiFi password, or as soon as you open Safari. Let them appear and agree to them.

I downloaded a new version of iTunes, then rented a movie to watch on my laptop. Now I cant find the rented movie or how to play it. Please Help.

It should be in the Movies part of your library - if you select Movies, then is there a Rentals tab on it with that film in it ?

Why are my audiobooks not going through home sharing?

why are my audiobooks not going through for home sharing.

According to this thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3525692), it looks like you are not able to share audiobooks through Home Sharing:
You can share MP3, AIFF, WAV, AAC, and radio station links, but you cannot share iTunes Store Audio Books, Audible spoken word content, or QuickTime sound files.
