  • Save music from home sharing to iPad

    How do I import music from home sharing to my iPad?????

    You don't.  that is not what home share does.
    You have to sync the music via itunes and the usb cable.
    "With Home Sharing in iOS 4.3 or later, you can stream your entire iTunes library over your home Wi-Fi network from your Mac or PC right to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch."

  • My Apple TV and IPad drop after x mintues from "Home Sharing". To restart it, I need to close iTunes on my Windows 7 PC, open it , then I can listen again X minutes (15-90 minutes) to my music via "Home Sharing". Any idea why? What worked for you?

    I believe if you updated your Apple TV, you need iTunes 11 to make it work.

  • Apple TV, browsing music on home sharing, music stored externally

    I wonder if anyone can advise...
    I recently bought a Seagate Central wifi external harddrive, 3TB. Besides using it as a remote backup disk, one of the main reasons behind it was combining music collections on my iMac and my wife's MacBook Pro. Advantages being we can listen to each other's music without having to have both computers on at the same time. Also, I'd like to use my new Apple TV to access my music via home sharing settings.
    So I have combined our music files onto the Seagate. I have changed the iTunes Music folder on both computers so that it looks to the Seagate for all the media. I have then "re-imported" the songs into iTunes from there.
    Running iTunes from the computers, this works 100% Ok, even sending via Airplay to Apple TV. The problems come when browsing through using the Apple TV home sharing on My Computers. The Apple TV sees all the albums and tracks as you would expect. But if you play a track it comes up with a message "there is no content".
    The strange part is that if I go to the computer and play the track once, when I go back to Apple TV it will them recognise it and be able to play it!
    I am trying to find a solution that doesn't involve me clicking through every track of my music collection! Any ideas?

    That seems strange.
    Have you changed the itunes media folder location to the external drive?
    iTunes > Preferences >
    Try changing to location to the external hard drive.. so your itunes music gets saved there
    Also I'm not sure iTunes can work this way..
    I've seen someone try to use a timecapsule the same way and it required them to manually connect to the drive in the finder, before being able to play their music.
    Is there a password required when connecting to the drive?

  • I would like to download the music in home sharing to my icloud on my iphone/

    i would like to download music from home sharing library to my iphone icloud. how is this done?

    All music on your iPhone that was stolen should be in your iTunes library on your computer along with all other iTunes content that was on the iPhone - movies, tv shows, books, and 3rd party apps.
    With the current iTunes version, you can download previous music purchases and/or you can do the same with iTunes store app on your new iPhone.

  • How to transfer music from home shared computer to ipod

    The laptop my ipod is physically connected to has no music on it's hard drive.  I remotely access all of my files which are on a home shared media server.  I can view, play and edit my home shared music remotely with my laptop with no problem.  When trying to move those files from the home shared hard drive to the ipod it will not allow it.  In the menu that appears to the right when dragging files, the ipod is not shown in the list.  If I move home shared files physically to my laptop and then attempt to drag them to the right the ipod is shown in the list.  Is there any way to allow this type of transfer without moving the files to my laptop?

  • Sharing music at home; sharing User IDs

    My wife and I are faced with a problem of playing music from the iTunes library we have built over the past few years either from CDs or from the Apple iTunes Store.
    I recently imported all our Cds into iTunes to save space and allow equal access. Our music now exists on ONE external hard drive. Most music tracks were imported from CDs, and therefore we don't have any restrictions who can play them. But then there is the music that either of us bought before and since married with our different User IDs. This means that music can only be accessed if originally bought by that person and on that authorized Mac.
    So what can we do?
    Is homesharing a good option? is it a viable option? Doesn't this require both Macs to be open at the same time to enjoy the music? What happens if I go to work with the music hard drive, and my wife needs to listen to tracks? I'd like to clone our music drive so she can access music in this situation, but it wouldn't allow her to listen to music I bought.
    Placing all the music on one hard drive makes it easier to consolidate your library, but only if you can access all the music.
    What have couples done in the past? Once married, do they create a 'couples' ID and buy music together for the home? Do you authorize your computers to that new account? And if so, what about the older music bought with older User IDs?
    How do people work around the authorization problem as well?
    Maybe the solution is to create non DRM versions of all our music and then we might be ok? Is that the only solution?
    I'd appreciate any thoughts on this matter.

    ps: EULA has destroyed the idea of sharing. Piracy is so much easier with digital files, but knowing that parents can't hand down their music or films etc to their kids is very sad.

    You seem to be making quite a few incorrect assumptions in your post.

    Why do you think it means that? (it doesn't)
    So what can we do?
    Keep the music on a hard drive at home.

    Yes.
    What happens if I go to work with the music hard drive, and my wife needs to listen to tracks?
    "The hard drive"? As in a single hard drive? Don't you each have hard drives on own computers? She can listen to all the tracks in her library.
    I'd like to clone our music drive so she can access music in this situation, but it wouldn't allow her to listen to music I bought.
    Why do you think this? iTunes purchases have been DRM free for almost 5 years.
    And even with DRM, just authorize the computer for each others account (which is automatically done when you enable Home Sharing).
    What have couples done in the past? Once married, do they create a 'couples' ID and buy music together for the home?
    Personally, I would not recommend it. Keep the accounts you have. No sense in tossing another into the mix.
    And if so, what about the older music bought with older User IDs?
    Just play it.
    but knowing that parents can't hand down their music or films etc to their kids is very sad.
    Why can't they?

  • HT202213 how do I find the music from home sharing?

    I do have the latest version of iTunes (11.1.5) for both computers and have turned on home sharing with the same account for both.
    If it is a factor in this, I have an iPod touch 1st generation, which is also updated to its latest software version (iOS 3.1.3). IThe computers are Windows 8 and Windows XP.
    Even though homesharing is turned on for both computers, I can't see where I can view the music that has been shared from either computer. Under "Library" there is no option for homesharing -- only Music, Movies, TV shows, iTunes U, and Apps. What button should I be looking for? Where is it? Am I going bliiiiiiiiind??? Thanks guys for any helpful input

    They are gone, but it they were purchased in iTunes you can re-download them. From iTunes Help:
    To download previous iTunes Store purchases to an authorized computer:
    In iTunes, click iTunes Store (below Store).
    Click the Purchased link in the top-right of the Store home page (below Quick Links).

You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library. Items already in your library aren’t available for download.If you select Music, you can view your purchases by song, artist, or album. If you’re using Album view, click an album to see which songs on it are available for downloading.To search for an item, type its name or a keyword in the search field, and then press the Return key to view your search results.
    To download an item, click the Download button to the right of the item.To download all available items, click Download All.
    You can download previous purchases on a total of up to ten devices and computers, combined. You can authorize up to five computers at a time with anApple ID.

  • Can I import a playlist over home sharing?

    I have my main music collection on my iMac running iTunes 12.  It includes some playlists I would like to have in an older Macbook Pro, running iTunes 11.4.  I have my Home Sharing turned on, and can import the items in the playlist, but have not figured out how to get the playlist itself.
    Is there an easy way to share a playlist within Home Sharing?

    Hello Burn16
    You should be able to, but if it is not working you can export your playlist and copy the file over and import the playlist that way.

  • Unable to import music using home sharing?

    My family and I used to have a shared iTunes account on an HP desktop computer. Over the years we have created our own accounts and since I just got the iPhone 4s I thought I should make my own. I have iTunes 10 and Windows Vista (I am using an HP laptop). I authorized my computer and created a home sharing account so I could transfer my music on to my laptop. I read the directions on the Apple website and followed all the directions until it says "Click the import button in the lower right hand corner." There's one small problem...there's no import button! I've also tried copy and paste, and that doesn't work either. Please help me and thank you

  • Problem sharing videos over home sharing network

    I have two computers. They are connected over a wireless network and I have home sharing setup.
    I can play music on both computers, and can play what I don't have on one over home share from the other. The same cannot be said of movies. I can see the movies in home sharing. I can even drag and copy them through the network from one machine to the next. The movies will play on both computers once it is actually located on the machine itself. It is my understanding I should be able to stream the movies over home share, without having to transfer the file itself first. I am unable to do so.
    Thoughts? Thanks!

    This has been a problem for a while. Please report it to Apple.

  • Why aren't all albums listed under albums in my phone's Music app (home sharing)

    I'm using home sharing to listen to music on my iPhone 4S.  I can access the shared library no problem, but when I go to the Album list, not all albums are there.  Everything that I've recently ripped is there but only 9 out of ~40 albums that I imported to the library (vs ripping) are listed.  If I want to access that music, I can search under Artist. 
    I checked out the Info on albums that are listed vs those that aren't and I can't see a difference - they both have Artist & Album listed under the Info & Sorting tabs. 
    The main iTunes install that is doing the sharing is on a Windows 7 laptop; all the devices accessing the home share are either iOS or OS X.

    Search pointed me here.
    I have the same issue with an iPad3.
    My iPad3, fully up to date will only show 8 albums from a home share and frequently misses all or some of the album art work.
    Music served by latest iTunes on 10.8.2. Other devices like iPhones and older iPads list all the albums and album artwork without issue.
    Did the log out and back in  of home sharing step last night. Fixed it once and then no new albums were showing (converted a few more cds) and this morning I'm back to 8 albums according to iPad3.
    iPhone 4 ... it is all there, instantly, never needed to log out ordoanything ...
    Quite puzzling. All devices are up to date. Presumably the app would be the same for all IOS devices apart from layout.
    It is strange also how it picks 8. It is not like they were the first or last ones added. Or alphabetically first or last by artist or album name. It spans dozens of albums.
