Do all the computers on a home sharing network have to be either wired or wireless?

Trying to allow the following to use home sharing:
Mac mini 2012 (wired and wireless)
MBP 13" 2011 (wireless only)
MBP 15" 2012 (wireless only)
Apple TV 2013 (latest update)
All computers running Yosemite 10.10.1 and iTunes 12.0.1.26
iTunes on the Mini can see both of other shared libraries on the MBPs
iTunes on the MBPs can see each other's shared libraries but not that on the Mini.

Hello!
So the issue is with Mac Mini's ability to transmit it's Home Sharing around.
Change the Mac Mini's computername is System Preferences > Sharing. Restart your Mac Mini via  > restart.
After restarting, make sure Home Sharing is still enabled in the Mac Mini's iTunes. Did that solve it?
If not, continue.
we trash the /sc info/ folder using the Terminal command below:
Open a Terminal window - for example by searching for the word terminal via Spotlight (the magnifying glass in the top right corner of your computer display) - and copy-paste the line below (to prevent typing mistakes):
sudo rm -Ri /Users/Shared/SC\ Info/
Enter your password after pressing return. Note that your will not see that you're typing, so no stars or dots like: *** You'll have to enter the password blindly and press return once you’re finished.
After doing this, restart your computer, open iTunes and authorize one last time.
For your education, so you know what we’re doing: this /sc info/ folder stores your authorizations. So deleting the folder and restarting the Mac will force a fresh version to be created. This fresh version will not have any of the errors or corruptions which are probably causing this issue.
Issue solved?

Hi, moih, and welcome to the Community,
Yes, your account travels with you from device to device, but please remember this: each of you must have your own Skype account in order to speak with each other. In other words, you can not call your own Skype account.
Likewise, the software works for anyone who signs on to use it; the software is not associated with any particular Skype account name.
Make sense?

I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers.

I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers. and both are on a stable wireless connection

Logging into itunes store on each machine wth different Apple IDs is OK Autorising each others machines with the other Apple ID is OK. This is completley separate from Home Sharing
For Home Sharing to work you need to
File > Home Sharing > Create Home Share.
You need to select one of the two Apple IDs you are using and ENTER THIS ON BOTH MACHINES WHEN CREATING THE HOME SHARE.
Home sharing will then work

Why won't my computer pick up the wireless in my home? All other computers in my home can get the internet.

Turn Off your computer. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your computer. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

HT3819 I have turned two computers on to home sharing. I am now on this computer wanting to put my music on to this itunes and i know i need to find the other computer in the drop down menu from " Home Sharing " but that menu isnt there on the left?

I have turned two computers on to home sharing. I am now on this computer wanting to put my music on to this itunes and i know i need to find the other computer in the drop down menu from " Home Sharing " but that menu isnt there on the left?

If you have the horizontal menu bar showing (File, Edit, View,...), select View, then select Show Sidebar.
If the menu bar is not showing, dorp down the menu in the very upper left corner and select show menu bar, then follow steps above.
Hope that helps. Good luck.

HT3819 I have synced my ipad and iphone 5 to itunes and all my songs appear in the device library but i cannot ply all of the songs unless via home sharing. How can i ensure that my libraries appear on each device as the syncing process seems to be failin

Syncing problems.
How can I sync my iphone 5 and ipad to ensure that i dont need to use home sharing to access all of my music library?

I don't think I have made myself clear... I have recently upgraded my iPhone 4 to a 5 so everything was set up to sync with no problems at all. I transferred everything across to my new device by iCloud and everything appears as it was on my old device including on the face of it my music library. However, I cannot play all of the songs in fact the majority! When at home I can access the entire library via home sharing but that is no use away from the house. I never had this problem with iPhone 4 and although I am automatically syncing the device to iTunes it is not working. If I try to play songs via the device it skips until it finds a song that cAn be played and if I try and play the device via the laptop/iTunes an ! Type signal appears and I cannot play the song!
Any ideas re solutions would be appreciated???

Im confused.
How do you know there are three other computers on your network using Home Sharing?
Do you have 5 computers, all powered on with iTunes running?

HT3819 What's the difference, other than the 24.99, between Home Sharing (free) and iTunes Match (24.99)?

Home sharing allows you to share content between computers and devices on your wifi network - so if you have your library on your computer's iTunes and you want to access it on your iPad then both your computer and iPad have to be turned on, iTunes open on your computer, and both need to be connected to the same wifi network.
iTunes Match will upload your music library to the cloud (including music copied from CDs and from other sources) allowing you to accces it from your computer or iPad without requiring your main computer to be on - and if you have access to a network when not at home you can download or stream music from it. It's also acts as a second backup of your content (you should still maintain your own backup of your library).
iTunes Match, from http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ :
Once your music is in iCloud, you can play it from any of your devices. Just browse the complete list of all your music stored in the cloud and tap to play to it. You can store up to 25,000 songs in iCloud (more if songs are purchased from the iTunes Store), but only what you play or download is stored on your device. Tap the iCloud download button to download music from an artist, album, or playlist. So you have immediate access to a huge music library without having to worry about the storage space on your device.
But whether it's worth it only you will know. Personally I don't use it, I keep and maintain my own backup of my content and sync it to my devices so that I don't have to rely on being online to access what I might want to listen to,

Neither of those Apps allow you to (easily) add iWork documents created or edited on the device to your online storage, you need to be using a webDAV server to be able to do that. In fact pretty much all you can add from the iOS device is photos and video without resorting to convoluted workarounds, intermediate apps or emailing finished documents to yourself. You can on the other hand view most of the content of dropbox/sugarsync through those apps, which in a lot of circumstances is useful, but without it working in both directions these apps are far from an ideal solution.
E.g from the sugarsync website
Yes, this may not be of too much interest to the OP, I was only trying to clarify the situation with iCloud.com/iWork for you.
However that being said, there may be areas of interest for Computer to Computer syncing, given the recent changes made to iCloud.com/iWork. I wouldn't suggest iCloud sharing for archived documents, but for perhaps up to a couple of dozen documents in progress, iCloud sharing is now quite viable. If there is any chance at all of these documents being accessed on an iOS device then iCloud would become a preferred option to dropbox or sugarsync.

How do I drag and drop files between computers when using Home Sharing in ITunes?

How can I drag music files between computers while using Home Sharing? An older version of ITunes had a Home Sharing icon in the column browser near the playlist so it was easy to drag and drop.

Hello cacalenni,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. I understand that you wish to learn how to import songs using Home Sharing in the new iTunes. The following resource should assist you in doing so:

All of a sudden my home sharing computer is showing up multiple times on my apple TV. When I go into the home sharing selection my computer shows up 2-3 times. It is now happening on both my 2nd and 3rd gen Apple TV. Does anyone else have this? How do I fix this? Thanks!

Weird. Restart everything including your router.

How do I deauthorize all the computers I have synced to my apple Id when I don't have the computers any more

How do I deauthorize all the computers I have synced to my apple Id when I don't have the computers any more all I need is to get rid of the ones synced or authorized to my account so I can authorize my new computer thank u people :)

If you've reached the 5 computer limit then you can log into your account and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising.

How can I monitor my monthly data usage for all 3 computers in my house? I have an Airport base station and it seems there should be software to monitor it from that point rather than monitoring the usage for each computer and then adding it up.

Hi
You have to apply the WSUS Gpo policy to your computers OU(or which OU computers incelude).

Do all the computers on a home sharing network have to be either wired or wireless?
