Home Share kinda working

Okay, I've used home share to move music and movies, works great across the three computers on my home network. The issue I'm having is with apps. I have an iPhone and an iTouch on a different computer. But when I open the other library I can't find the apps at all. I know that you can share the apps, but I can't see them in the different library.
Any ideas?

my pleasure
please mark your question as answered when you get the chance !
happy computing ...

ps: check your +import settings+ on all your machines - you can set home sharing to automatically transfer newly purchased content

Hi,

Move the Safari app from the Desktop to the Applications folder.
Restart your Mac.
That's why you see this:
When I try to do the updates my computer says it has ready it goes through like it is downloading them then at the end it says some of the files could not be saved to "/" files.
After your restart your Mac, click the Apple  menu (top left in your screen) then click: Software Update ...

Updated Itunes to 11.4.0.18 now Home Share wont work

I recently updated ITunes on my Windows 8.1 PC to version 11.4.0.18. Now none of my home share will work. I have two Apple TV's, one is using new update and the other is old version just in case it was the Apple TV update, neither will connect. I have IPhone 5 and IPhone 4 and both used to work, now neither work. I also have IPad Mini's that used to work, now nothing works.
I have reset the router, the modem, the PC, Each of the IOS devices. I Turned off IPv6 on my network connections, didn't help. I have also noticed that my Apple TV with the new update on it can't connect to the Cloud either. Apple TV with old IOS works ok from the Cloud.
Basically the ITunes update and the Apple TV updates have killed Home Sharing on my system. Is anyone else having this issue? Anyone have any suggestions?

Got it working! Opened the port on my Linksys Apple TV: TCP and UDP ports and protocols used
TCP port 123 is used to communicate with a network time server.
TCP port 3689 is used to communicate with iTunes while using the iTunes Library Sharing feature.
UDP port 5353 is used by Apple TV for automatically finding computers with iTunes on your network using
Reboot then it worked!

After working great why will my home share not work on my iphone and ipad mini

I had been running home share on my iphone great. I share a music library with my wife. We just bought an ipad mini and i was messing around with the ipad and set up home share, however it would not work. I tried logging out of my iphone and re connect and it will no longer connect. I have not been able to get home share to work on the mini.
I have browsed all the feeds, but not getting anywhere.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you checked all devices are connected to the same network and tried restarting your router.

Itunes 10.5 Home share not working

I recently updated to itunes 10.5, and now my home share doesn't work. I can get a song to play from my computer on the tv, but not a video, and I can't access any of my media on the apple tv. Windows 7 and apple TV 2. It was working fine prior to the itunes update, so I'm pretty sure it's related to that. Any advice?

Hey guys,
This is an enormously frustrating issue and I am disappointed that it does not seem like Apple is taking it seriously, much less solving it. I have seen a lot of people desperate to help and I have tried many of the solutions that made sense to me (repair iTunes; create Windows Firewall Exceptions) and ignored the ones that make no sense whatsoever (reboot your Internet gateway; deauthorize your computers). I am on a Windows 7 x64 machine fully patched, single 8 core CPU with 24GB RAM and 6TB of storage - it ain't the machine...
This seems to be a unique problem to iTunes 10.5. Here is why I believe this to be true:
1. I disabled WFW No result.
2. I created WFW exceptions NO result at all.
3. I did a repair install of iTunes - Actually worked for one night.
4. Uninstalled iTunes 10.5. Installed iTunes 10.4 and everything works like a champ.
Apple needs to solve this issue, I'm afraid until they do anything that gets you up and running is temporary. In any case getting a consumer oriented click-to-install application should not require a project plan and customizations to work properly. This is true even if WFW needs tweaking that simply tells me they didn't test their installer enough to ensure it properly configured WFW, including removing erroneous entries...not an issue on my machine...
I am standing by for Apple to sort this out...until then 10.4 is my friend.
Cheers

ITunes Home Sharring not working correctly.

My itunes homesharing is not working correctly. I have a Windows 8 computer and I am trying to share with my partners Widows 7 computer. Both computers are running the newest version of itunes 11 (downloaded yesterday). I sign in and turned on home sharring with the same user id and password. For the first 20-30 mins it worked perfectly, I could open her library and she could open mine and we could download songs from each other with no issue. We closed both computers and about 2 hours later turned them on to try again. Now my computer (Windows8) always shows up on hers but her computer only shows up about 1/2 the time for me, and half of that time if you click on her computer it says loading then stops and her computer has disapperard again. I can eventually get it to work after many turning off and on of home sharring but it take about 15-20min each time to get it working. Is this a problem others have seen? Does anyone know a solution?

This issue has now been completely resolved with the introduction of iTunes 9.2 Everything up and running again - thank you Apple! (Still an issue with Dictionary app/Wikipedia not functioning correctly, this has not been resolved)

Home sharring not working.

My home sharing wont work. I'm supposed to have it on four different computers and it wont work on any of them. I've tried everything. Help please

Got new iTune update, instaled on my home server 2008 r2, as I had the previous versionon here. Now with the new Itunes my home sharring is not working when it use to work fine on the older version. However this works fine on my Laptop on windows 7, Iam guessing the new Itune doesn't support Server ? Or is there some thing i need to do. Can Apple Help me ?

Can not get home share to work even after a session with Apple genius in store..!!!!

I'm using ipad2, iPhone 4s and iTunes is running on my HP laptop. All three have home share turn on and are signed in as they should. The iPad and iPhone show my iTunes account but there is nothing behind it. I spent ten minutes with the Apple genius in store and he checked all the settings were correct, which they were. My two apple devices are finding the account ok as the library name appears in the shared file.
I have followed a link the genius sent me to fully uninstall iTunes and then re-install the latest version from scratch. This has made no change at all apart from taking me three hours to back up my account incase it was whipped.
I'm out of ideas, can anyone suggest we're I'm going wrong..???

I received a complaint that my last post was not so clear and I have updated this post here.
I have now configured Thunderbird and after help with setting up by my provider Yahoo/ Xtra. Thank you for your telephone help of 3 hours from Philippines today Yahoo/ Xtra. It all works fine now with Thunderbird.
I now receive and can send E-mails from and for all 10 sub accounts.Today I received an Apple survey message to valuate my experiences.The case number that was given and is not solved at all is
136901000 The very good Apple technicians name is SHIVARAM.It is not his fault that the issue could not be solved.A shame the Apple survey indicated there would not be any follow up of the issue.!!! I just had to phone again!!!
It shows the arrogance that has entered the Apple organization.
Imagine how many people are loosing time with this issue in my case about 2 days!!! Just after installation of a product they call Snow Leopard I payed 59 $ for !!! It should actually have been called Slow Leopard ! only one letter different.!!! Just as my computer only one program failing!!!
Apple version 4.0 E-mail Program.See how they are going to fix this!!!!
So New Zealand needs to talk to India-Phillipines-to get his 59$ purchased program working.!
Ridicules 6 hours now yes it is all for free 0800 numbers .Still.!!! In Europe companies let the clients pay!!

Does Home Share only work when you are at home? Or once you've shared will the music stay on the computer you've shared it with?

I want to use Home Share to share music in i-Tunes between my desk top and my laptop. Does it work once you're not in the same house?

If you use home sharing to transfer music to your laptop, it stays on the laptop and you can take it anywhere.
Look at Understanding Home Sharing: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 where it says "With Home Sharing, you can stream music and video from one authorized computer to another, or simply drag music between computer libraries. You can also choose to have iTunes automatically import purchases you make on any of your Home Sharing computers to your own library."

How do i get home share to work with ios 6 and pc Itunes 10.7

I have update all my devices to ios 6 and pc to itunes 10.7, however since then i can not use home share to share music over my network with any of my devices. Can anyone help Please.

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
Did you already try the troubleshooting mentioned in this article?

Windows 7 Home Share Not Working Unless Logged In to Computer

So my old computer with Windows Home Server blew up last week. I bought a new computer with Windows 7 running and have everything set up.
Here's the rub... I cannot access my itunes home share unless I am logged in or remotely logged int to the computer.
My old home server did not have this issue.
I am looking to have the desktop onin the basement and run without being logged in.
I have rebooted and did the services thing, but cannot seem to find the needle in the haystack.
Can anyone help.
My kids are frustrated that I cannot get it fixed and they cannot watch Scooby Doo!
Thanks in advance!

Home share doesnt work on iphone 4

Ok first off let me just say all my os systems are updated on all my phones, computers etc. I can no longer use shared libraries on any of my iphone 4. i have a new ipad and iphone 5 and i can access the shared network no problem. I have logged out of home share on my mac mini and relogged in. I have restarted all my devices, computers and even hard restarted the iphone 4. i can also no longer update my daughters iphone 4 when connected to computer. she uses it as a ipod. movies etc wont update even though computer said it synced. I really wish apple would get their crap together before they send out updates and if the updates suck i really wish they would offer support for issues that are their problem when something is out of apple care range which i purchase for all my products. this is their fault and i shouldn't have to pay to have a chat with them about how to fix the problem.

Hi,
I am very disappointed to. I have an iPad 2, out of warranty for 6 months. When I went in to have them look at it the only offer I got was to swap it out for $240. I spoke with the manager, who just kept repeating I should have gotten Apple Care. I told him about reading all the other people that lost their mic on line, and it must be a defect. He told me not to believe everything you read on line. I am trying to tell everyone about this. iPad 4 has the same problem!
So any new iPad have this checked out!
