    Just in case anyone else has this problem, here is what Apple replied to me: "Dear Carol, Greetings from Apple iTunes Customer Support. I am Sayantan and I am glad to assist you today. I understand you are unable to share audio books using home sharing. I know how upsetting it can be. I will help you with this. Unfortunately, you cannot share iTunes Store Audio Books, Audible spoken word content, or QuickTime sound files. In accordance with iTunes Store policy, you may share the music in your library and playlists with up to five other computers, provided the following conditions are met: 1. Your computer is using Mac OS X version 10.4.11 or later, Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7. 2. The other computers are on the same local area network as your computer, in the same subnet. To share a song in a password-protected shared library or playlist, you will need to enter a password. To share a song that was purchased using an iTunes Store account that is not authorized on the computer you are using, you will need to enter the Apple ID and password with which the song was purchased. 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. To prevent other computers on your network from seeing or listening to songs in your library or playlists, turn off music sharing. More detailed instructions about sharing music may be found in the Help menu. In iTunes, select iTunes Help from the Help menu. Click "Contents," type "sharing" (without quotes) in the search box, and press Enter. To read more about one of the topics that appears, double-click it. Carol, thank you for being a valued customer, your satisfaction is of the utmost importance.

  • Purchased TV shows not showing up during home sharing

    Hello All,
                I love doing home sharing on my iPad and my Apple TV.  However I am having some problems with home sharing of TV shows on my iPad.  Let me give you an example.  I purchased Criminal Minds season 7.  When I do home sharing on my Apple TV it shows up and plays just fine, but will not on my iPad.  All of the other seasons are there but not season 7.  How do I fix this?
    Thank You,
    Christina

    Files purchased from the iTunes store don't automatically download a second time. Files that were purchased on the old computer won't download again unless you contact the iTunes store and ask them to re-authorize them.
    If you can still access the hard drive on the old computer, you should try to copy them over to the new computer via your network or an external hard drive. If you are now using the new computer to sync with your ATV, only files that are present on that computer will sync. If the files aren't there, they won't sync. Files don't sync from the iTunes store, they sync from the iTunes library on your computer.

  • ICal in new work computer not showing events on home Mac or iPhone

    HELP! Just got my new work computer (a MacBook) and I'm trying to get my iCal to sync from my Mobile Me account. I have set the preferences to sync iCal calendars and have synced several times. The events that I have already entered that are showing on my home MacBook Pro and my iPhone are still now showing on my new MacBook. Am I missing a step??

    Let make sure I under stand: You have a home MacBook Pro and an iPhone, both of which are syncing. But your new Macbook at work/office will not sync.
    You have gone to the Mobleme preferences on the new office MacBook, logged in, selected sync, Clicked the advanced tab and added the work Macbook to the list of Registered computers.
    Then you went back and checked the "Synchronize with MobleMe" checkbox.
    Choose "Manually" at this point. Then check what you want to sync, such as Calendars.
    Now you go back and select "Advanced again."
    Select your home computer from the list.
    Click "Reset Sync Data"
    Make sure the arrow is going from the cloud to the computer.
    Click replace and it should put the data in the cloud (which is from your home computer) on the computer you have selected.
    Let me know if this works out.

  • Why do some purchased movies fail to show up in Home Sharing via Apple TV?

    Most of my purchased movies show up just fine when I try to access them using my Apple TV2, but some simply do not appear in the list of movies available via Home Sharing.  Does any one know why some movies appear and others don't?

    Read the details on availability at:

    Focus on the specifics.

  • HT4557 my computers won't show up in home sharing on Apple TV

    I connected AppleTV to my television, everything works but can't get the home sharing to show my laptop, iPad or iPhone. I have gone thru all of the setttings on each to work with Home Share, made sure the user name and password are correct on all....but to no avail. Have spent hours and have not solved the problem. Is there a setting in iTunes that I am overlooking. My laptop is a Dell Vostro with WIndows 7, updated to 11.0 iTunes.

    Make sure your PC and iOS device(s) are running under the same network.
    All devices must have home sharing enabled and all should be signed-in using the same apple id and password.
    After that is confirmed, using the music app and under the "more" option, you should find the "Shared" link.
    Then choose your music library

  • I SET UP THE HOME SHARING ON MY COMPUTER, AND i CAN STREAM MY PHOTOS AND SEE ALL THE VIDEOS AND LISTEN SONGS IN MY ITUNES, BUT CAN NOT DO HOME SHARING, ON THE TV, ALWAYS SHOWS "TURN ON HOME SHARING ON YOUR OMPUTER WITH YOUR ID WHICH I DID BUT NOTHING HELP

    I just bought my apple tv yesterday and SET UP THE HOME SHARING ON MY COMPUTER, I CAN STREAM MY PHOTOS AND SEE ALL THE VIDEOS AND LISTEN SONGS IN MY ITUNES, BUT CAN NOT DO HOME SHARING, ON THE TV, ALWAYS SHOWS "TURN ON HOME SHARING ON YOUR OMPUTER WITH YOUR ID WHICH I DID BUT NOTHING HAPPEN. WHAT'S WRONG? WHAT SHALL I DO NOW?

    I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem.  The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6.  (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
    So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
    You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
    Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

    Weird.  Restart everything including your router.

    I figured out my own problem. Thanks dmule you're a genius. All I had to do was turn off home sharing on my iPad and then turn it back on. Now all the video art work matches their proper movies.
