Have you signed in at Settings > Music with same Apple ID and password as you used in iTunes and on your iPhone to enable Home Sharing?

  • 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.

  • 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 sharing not working between itunes and apple tv, I've read all help articles I could find... still nothing

    Hey there!
    Here's every detail of the problem:
    1- My iTunes (10.5.2) doesn't give me any options for apple tv in any menu. Some troubleshooting article I remember said something like «go to Settings - Apple TV - Always Search for Apple TVs» or something like that, yet my itunes settings have NOTHING for Apple TV.
    2- Following all setup instructions and usual troubleshooting solutions, i KNOW that all options and settings available to me are set correctly and everything  should work normally, yet my iTunes shows no recognition of my Apple TV AND my Apple TV «Computers» menu is nothing but a «Home Sharing is turned on, make sure that all Home Sharing devices are using the same Apple ID account» message.
    3- Of course, yes, all my devices ARE setup with the same Apple ID account, with Home Sharing turned on everywhere. Also I'm not using a Firewall, and none of my devices have any trouble connecting to my one and only router, all at once.
    So I figure the main problem is my itunes acting like Apple TV doesn't exist. Any ideas/solutions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Sharing Stopped working again over night.
    I went to Apple Support Artical TS2972
    As soon as I did this Home Sharing started working
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972
    Firewall Section
    5. Check Firewall Settings
    If you have a firewall enabled in your router or computer, make sure that the firewall is not blocking communication between your computers. Home Sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 to communicate with shared iTunes libraries.
    In addition, Apple TV and Mac computers will use port 123 to set the time automatically. Incorrect date and time on either the computer or Apple TV can cause errors for Home Sharing and connections in general.
    If you are unsure whether your router has a firewall or the required ports open, test additional devices or another network to help isolate the issue. If the devices tested work on another home network, it is your router or network configuration.
    For Mac OS X, you don't have to edit the port addresses, but make sure the firewall in Apple () menu > System Preferences > Security > Firewall are not set to:
    Block all incoming connections
    Allow only essential services
    If you use another security/firewall software on your computer or router, follow this article or contact the manufacturer or check the documentation on how to open TCP ports 123 and 3689 as well as UDP ports 123 and 5353.
    It made sense to me, but its still puzzling me after restarting a router would (in my first attempt) resolve the issue for a day.  This this time I applied the port forwarding TCP and UDP ports and saved the settings in the DLink DIR-655 and both my iPad2 and iPhone 3GS were now again finding the share. My ATV2 is also now accepting the Share.
    Tommorrow will be the true test.

  • 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 ?

  • Home sharing not working on iTunes 11.0.2.26

    I recently updated iTunes to 11.0.2.26 on Windows XP and none of my devices are able to home share. In the previous iTunes version I could. I have an iPhone 5 (6.1.3), iPad 4th Gen and Apple TV 3rd Gen. None of them will share. I can log in with no error messages, but home sharing just isn't an option in Music or Videos or Apple TV. I know others have had this issue. I have reset network connections, logged in and out, restarted, rebooted and all of the other suggestions that I've read online, but nothing seems to work.
    Can anyone offer any advice? Can I downgrade to a previous version of iTunes? Thanks! 

    Hello SkyNinja,
    Take a look at this article named Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4215.
    If the AirPlay icon doesn't appear
    Check for the AirPlay icon in the recently used apps section on your iOS device, or in iTunes on your computer (as in these articles about how to use AirPlay and how to use AirPlay Mirroring). The icon will only appear if your device or computer is logged onto a Wi-Fi network which has an AirPlay-enabled recipient, such as Apple TV (2nd generation or 3rd generation).
    If you are still unable to see the AirPlay icon, try one of the following steps:
    Verify that your AirPlay-enabled devices have the most up-to-date software or firmware.
    Verify that your iOS device has Wi-Fi turned on. Enable Wi-Fi on your iOS device by going to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    Verify that all your AirPlay-enabled devices are logged on to the same home Wi-Fi network (check the home network names on your devices to confirm).
    If trying to AirPlay, or AirPlay mirror, to your Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation), ensure that AirPlay is enabled on your Apple TV as well. You can enable or disable AirPlay on Apple TV in the AirPlay menu: Settings > AirPlay
    Check Internet or network connectivity on all affected devices.
    Temporarily disable firewalls (both network and local) and security software. Security software and firewalls may block ports that AirPlay uses to stream content. You can often resolve issues with security software by updating, correctly configuring, or uninstalling security software.
    If attempting to use AirPlay from a third-party app or a website from your Safari app on your iOS device, confirm that the app or website is AirPlay compatible (refer to the developers of the app or website for additional information). 
    Also make sure your Apple ID is signed in, and the computer is authorized.

  • Why does Home Sharing not work on iTunes 10.5.3 between a Windows PC and MacBook Pro?

    I have a Dell XPS M1530 laptop which is my older laptop, consisting of all my music, apps and so on. I recently purchased a MacBook Pro (latest version) and would like to use Home Sharing to browse my music libraries and so on on there. However, I find that I am unable to do this, after several methods I have attempted in order to resolve this issue.
    The Home Sharing on the left column does not appear at all.
    I have upgraded iTunes on both laptops to the latest version yesterday, which I assume is iTunes version 10.5.3.
    I have turned off Home Sharing, and turned it on a few times.
    I use the same Apple ID to log in to Home Sharing.
    I named both playlists/music libraries to the same name - not sure if this is a way to 'fix' the problem but I saw it in a thread.
    I tried all the above methods, but to no avail. Home Sharing still does not work - in fact, it does not even appear on the left column; it disappears as soon as I turn on Home Sharing.
    Help is very muchly appreciated.
    Thank you very much!

    First, each Library should have a unique name, not the same name.
    Now, I wrote an extensive how-to in another thread that explains Home Sharing, Library Sharing, how to turn them on and identify them and so on. See if it helps you with your problem.

  • 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!

  • Home sharing not working after iTunes 11 update

    Hi everyone,
    after updating to iTunes 11 on our Macs OS X 10.6.8 and OS X 10.8.2 our home sharing doesn't work anymore. We have tried to turn home sharing off and set it up again several times, but no shared devices or accounts appear in the library menu. Does anyone know how to fix this problem without going back to iTunes 10.7.? Thanks for your help!!!
    MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8) & MacBook Pro, OS X (10.8.2)

    Also, the reason I posted a fresh question is due to the issue of the "fix" I see folks posting. This is not a fix. When an update forces me to remove security or privacy it is called a problem / bug ... especially since it worked fine before.
    Maybe it is intentional maybe not, but if the only solution is to remove my privacy barriers then I guess it is time to get rid of ATV and move away from apple.
    Somebody tell me I am wrong or how to fix without having to get into my modem or firewall.

  • How can I get Home Share to work for iTunes??  I've followed the instructions but one I have activated Home Share, there is no "Shared" heading to link to my other computer.  It (the word "Shared") disappears after I turn on Home Share.

    I followed the instructions, but once I turn on "Home Sharing", the word "Shared" disappears from the left hand column of the iTunes window.  So, where can I link to my other computer so I can share my music??

    Make sure that the iTunes version is updated on your computers that you are using for Home Sharing.  Also, I think that all of the computers have to be on with iTunes pulled up while you are trying to transfer data.
    You have to have Home Sharing turned on with both computers.  If you do have Home Sharing turned on with all of your computers, are your 'Shared' computers all authorized under the same account?  If not, they should be.
    Have you checked 'Share my library on my local network' in preferences?  You should have the box checked for both computers.
    I hope this helps!

  • Why is home share not working

    Hi,
    I am having problems with Home Sharing between two PCs. Both computers have the most current version of Itunes, both are logged in to the same Home Sharing address and PW.  Our router is an Airport Express.  I pull the music from one computer to the other about every six months or so and have never had any problems.  We have changed routers so I am guessing that the problem lye’s with the Airport Express.  Any suggestions?
