Getting 5506 error when trying to sign into Home Sharing

I had to get a new ID. It took a while because I kept getting redo information constantly. When I got my password figured out, Home Sharing would not accept my id and password, or except one but not the other. What is the 5506 error, and is there anything I can do about it.

I received this email from Apple and this corrected the problem for me...  I only had to reset the iTunes cache
1) Open iTunes
2) At the top menu, click File > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac)
3) In the Preferences menu, click the Advanced tab
4) In the Advanced menu, you should see a button that says "Reset Cache". Please click this button.

  • I get an error when trying to turn on home sharing

    Home Sharing could not be activated because an error occurred (5599).

    Me neither... But my home haring did just come back after signing in and out of iTunes and trying to turn on home sharing....judging by the popularity of this issue right now and the older posts on the subject, it would seem that it's some kind of glitch with the apple servers.

  • Keep getting 5002 Error when trying to Sign In

    Hello,
    I created a new @me.com address today for a seperate Apple ID account.  I am needing to sign into the iTunes Store, but I keep getting a response that says:
    "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (5002)."
    Any ideas as to what's going on here?
    I also took a screen cap of the issue:
    Thank you for the help!

    Thank you for your response Carolyn; however, that article does not fix my problem.  I am getting this error when trying to sign into the iTunes Store on my Mac.
    I get the same problem when signing into the Store on the iPad or iPhone.  I simply can't log in, but when I go to iCloud.com or the Apple ID login on Apple.com, it works.

  • Trying to sign into Home Sharing hangs iTunes 10.1.1

    Has anyone else had this issue?
    Updated to 10.1.1 this morning on one of my PCs and I can't sign into Home Sharing. I click Create Home Share and iTunes hangs and needs killing via task manager.
    I've got iTunes on another PC running 10.1.0.56 and signing into Home Sharing there is fine.
    Any ideas?

    I've had similar issues with iTunes hanging.
    Looks like your library is messed up.
    I've moved all of my library files from:
    C:\Users\[Username]\Music\iTunes
    As in:
    iTunes Library*
    And
    iTunes Music Library.xml
    After that iTunes was starting up again.

  • Why does it say server error when trying to sign into icloud on my microsoft

    I downloaded i cloud for my windows computer and when i try signing into it it says server error. what does this mean. i am trying to set up icloud so i can save photos
    Please help

    Have you tried this with any player and does this happens with all browsers or some specific browser ?
    Its possible that correct MIME is not rendered ,browsers rely on the MIME type sent in the server headers.
    Can you test out with different files and new pages , try to use original format of mp4 for testing.
    Thanks,

  • "Unkown error" when trying to sign into itunes store

    When I try to sign into the itunes store it says "unkown error" when I try to sign in. If I try again it prompts me to reset my password, which I did twice because I thought maybe I was just an idiot and forgot my password 3x, but that's not it. I can sign in fine online, apparently, using the password that I just reset. However, itunes still will not let me log in, and it's driving me nuts. I've signed out completely, I've restarted my computer, and it still wont let me log in.

    Please help, because itunes customer support is full of incompetant, condescending, *********.

  • TS2972 keep getting an error when i try to use home shared with my apple ty 2nd gen

    home sharing error it wont connect

    Hello mjlamonea
    If the update had an error, then check out the article below to restore your iPhone. It will walk you through putting your iPhone into recovery mode and then using iTunes on your computer to restore it. If you have a back up through iTunes or iCloud, then your can put that back up back on after you have completed the restore.

  • Error when trying to sign into Linksys WRT 120N router management page, indicates browser authentication not capable - a HTTP401 error.

    In trying to get into the Linksys WRT-120N router's management utility browser, I was unable to sign in. After resetting the router multiple times and exhausted all the variants of the username/password combination that I can find and think of, I was still unable to sign in to the utility browser. Just for the sake of trying something different, I opened IE 8 browser and was able to sign in just fine. This tells me that FF has a problem with authentication, somewhere along the request information aren't being sent correctly to allow signing in to the utility page of the router.

    hi , here is a step by step for for you need to do..
    a:- Do not use the setup disc....remove it and keep is somewhere safe.
    b:- Disconnect the USB cable from the modem and PC and keep it somewhere safe as well
    c:-turn off the modem and PC....
    d:- with the power plugged in....reset the linksys router for 1 minute...once done , unplug the power.
    e:- connect the modem to the "internet" port of the router and connect the PC to one of the other ports..
    f:- turn on the modem only.....wait for 1 minute for the modem to initialize
    g:- turn on the router and PC.
    h:- on the PC...hit "start">>"run">>cmd and enter ....now the black window should stay up......type ipconfig and enter.....the IP u get should be 192.1638.1.100....if so...
    i:- bring up your web browser and key in http://192.168.1.1 and hit go.....type the password as "admin" when prompted...
    j:- under the setup page....look for an find MAC address clone.....enable and "clone"......save settings and check if you are going online.

  • I keep getting this message when trying to sign into itunes... "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

    I have tried everything I can find online.
    Update iTunes to the latest version.
    If iTunes Store appears empty and only displays the message iTunes Store, follow these steps.
    Try the steps to troubleshoot iTunes Store connectivity in Windows.
    As with all firewalls not manufactured by Apple, you may need to configure Windows Firewall to allow iTunes to access the iTunes Store. Follow these steps for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
    Try disabling any proxies built-in to Wndows. You should avoid proxies because they can cause issues.
    If you're receiving a specific error message, follow these steps.
    If the issue still persists, contact your Internet service provider and confirm that these ports and servers are enabled over your network.
    I also have tried flushing dns,making sure all services that are required are started (not 100% which it needs to be fair, I did have an issue earlier this month when i upgraded my ram from 2gb to 4gb and had to go into msconfig to untick the max memory setting so it used all 4 instead of the original 2gb... and that for some reason turned off a few services, bonjour service is 100% working, i checked that much, and the ipod service too) I also tried a system restore with no effect.
    I also did the microsoft fixit for the hosts file too...
    I have just purchased an ipad mini, brand new not second hand... and I want to be able to sync it, but without authorising the pc it wont let me. ANY help is appretiated. Thankyou.
