Home share and air play dropping connection on all apple devices !!!
Why is home sharing and air play dropping my connection on AP 1 and AP 2 since the update? This is ridiculous to not be fixed yet or put in place before Lion release
I've been using Home Sharing since it came out. But last night after I had rented a TV show on my iMac Home sharing just wouldn't work from my AppleTV2.
I could see my Mac, select the TV show, but it wouldn't play. Network connectivity was fine. Then I went to my Mac and tried to stop and start HS. It wouldn't authenticate.
Was there a problem on Apple's end?
This morning it appears working? Is yours working now...

What exactly is Air Drop and Air Play?
I keep seeing these cutely coined phrases such as Air Drop and Air Play but I can't find a full explanation as to what they are and how to use them. Can anyone direct me to a source where these are explained in detail?
AirDrop is a OS X feature that allows you to transfer files wirelessly through different Macs with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion and connected to the same network. This will be available in iOS 7 for some iPhones, iPods touch and iPads.
AirPlay is a system that allows you to sync music, videos, or simply your iOS or Mac desktop to an AirPort Express, AirPlay-compatible speakers or an Apple TV. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4437 -
I downloaded the iOS7 system and lost connectivity to my in-ceiling speakers and Air Play. How do I get it back?
Use the iOS7 Control Center to select AirPlay, and then, choose the appropriate AirPlay speaker to stream to.

I can see other accounts on home share and play the songs, but not drag them to my account. Home share is on "on" on both accounts and both computers are authorized. What can I do to copy the song from account to account?
okasy if you want to move the music from the other comptuer into your comptuer you can > but if they were purchased with a different APPLE id then you need to authorize the comptuer to play them .

I'm having an issue where my Apple TV 3 and all our iPads periodically seem to loose connectivity to an iTunes home share on a Windows 7 PC. Using a network protocol analyser on the PC I have identified that the point of failure corresponds to the ATV3 sending a bonjour discovery request and getting no reply from iTunes. Why the ATV3 'forgets' where the home share is is possibly another issue but the root cause of the failure is that iTunes, or more specifically the mDNSResponder service, is not responding to the UDP multicast port 5353 broadcast discovery packet sent by the ATV3 or iPad. The mDNSResponder service does start responding again after iTunes is restarted thus making the home share accessible once more, however, this frequent drop out is unacceptable and often happens after only a single TV show has been watched from the home share making the solution unworkable for a family, we simply cannot be restarting iTunes constantly it ruins the user experience completely!
The nature of this failure indicates that the ATV3, the iPads, the host PC and network are all working correctly and the point of failure here is the lack of response to the bonjour discovery protocol with the net result of either a spinning 'connecting to home share' message or the home share just disappearing from the computers section.
If there is a configuration fix for this please let me know as I haven't located a fix! Otherwise this seems very much to be a code flaw in iTunes 11 or the mDNSResponder and I would appreciate some input from Apple! Going on other questions in these forums it would seem the problem is not limited to Windows PCs but also Macs too. NB: This is not a TCP issue, when the ATV3 or iPad knows the IP of the iTunes server all works flawlessly, it just periodically they seem to refresh the list of home shares and at this point they loose the information about the home share they have just been using because of the non-response to the UDP multicast discovery broadcast packet, that is arriving at the host PC and isn't being blocked by the firewall.
Many Thanks!In my case there was no import from a former mac.
My problem (at least mine) is that no app that offers media sharing works properly. Neither itunes home sharing nor AirVideo nor EyeTV sharing.
So I'm pretty sure that this is network issue.
Adding another user on my mac and sharing a new library works not also. But sharing from another laptop in my WiFi works. So this has to be a network issue on my mac, not only my user, but an issue of the whole system.
But I'm not willing to reinstall MacOS X for that if I don't have to. -
have a I Mac 7.1 operating on version 10.5.8. I have purchased many songs that reside on my PC andf I want to share them with my I Phone 4. Can you take me through the steps necessary to be able to share and then play these albums on my I phone 4?
After you connect the iPhone to your Mac launch iTunes.
Select the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window.
Select the Music tab from the menu.
Make your selections for the songs you want synced the click the Sync button bottom right side of the iTunes window.
The iPhone user guide will come in handy ...

since latest ATV software update i can no longer do home share or air play
Try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router.

I've set up email on my iPad (talktalk.net) and can send and receive mails when connected to my home router and ISP. When connected to a router at another location with a different ISP I can receive mail but not send it. Is there any way round this?

My iPhone5 is my wifi hot spot for my mac minim computer and iPad. I live in a rural area with no other options. Will this be sufficient to run Apple TV and air play?
If you are intending using your hot spot to download movies for the Apple TV, you'll very quickly eat through your data allowance.

I have an ipad2. PLEASE can anyone tell me if I can watch a movie purchased from iTunes without wifi (after I have downloaded the movie and hit play while connected). My husband is going for chemotherapy and the hospital does not have wifi.
Yes, if the movie has been downloaded to the iPad, then you can watch it without Wi-Fi.

To Share and view my keynote presentation from all Ipad Iphone in wifi network (airplaplay).
any idea or solution?
ThanksHey mjmsurrey60,
It sounds like the iDevices have gotten out of sync with the home network. I would advise a full power cycle of the circuit involved.
Unplug the 8600 while powered on
Unplug the power from the router
COMPLETELY power off the iDevices, not simply put in sleep mode. Click here for information about how to do so on an iPhone. The steps are similar for other iDevices.
Wait 30-60 seconds
Plug the router back up and wait for it to completely power back up
Plug the 8600 back in for power
Power the iDevices back up and wait for them to sync with the network again
Try to print again
Let me know the results.
