Home Sharing: Can't see anyone's iTunes

My iTunes is detectable on other computers but mine won't detect anyone's. We are on same network. I have closed and opened iTunes, I have tried different homesharing accounts. Fixed firewall stuff and network stuff. My brother and I both have HP computers and mine shows up on his iTunes but I am having no luck.

>only differernce is laptop is over WiFi and desktop is over wired ethernet connect (as is Apple TV)
>but that shouldn't matter.
You would think that but there are a number of posts about pople getting MUCH better performance on WiFi that ethernet.  Which is completely  backwards, but it is happening for some people after the last two updates.  It is something I am seeing too.  Try having ATV use WiFi.

  • Home Sharing - can't see library on PC from Mac

    I've searched through other threads and have not found a simple explanation for this problem. I have a Windows PC (running Vista) with iTunes 11.0.2 and have a MacBook Pro with the same version of iTunes. I have setup my home sharing and am able to see my Mac library on my PC BUT can't see my PC library on my Mac. I have played with the firewall settings and tried turning the home sharing on and off on both machnes. Nothing!
    Does anybody have a simple solution?

    If you go to 'my computer', your ipod should be listed there (when its plugged in). If you click on it there is a path to all of the photos on your ipod. All you have to do then is copy them all and paste them in the 'my pictures' part of your computer. You can then do with them as you please. hope this was helpful

  • Home sharing can't see my desktop PC

    I have some video files in iTunes on my desktop PC and I used to have no problems using home sharing.  Recently, the home sharing connection has being going down a fair amount and now my Apple TV can't see my desktop thru home sharing.  I've replaced the Apple TV but that didn't help.  As a test I installed iTunes on my laptop last night and I had no issues using hom sharing on it, so it seems the problems lies with something on my desktop.  I don't believe I've made any changes recently and my laptop should be conigured the same, only differernce is laptop is over WiFi and desktop is over wired ethernet connect (as is Apple TV) but that shouldn't matter. 
    Rather frustrating.

  • Why can't Apple TV's and iOS devices see home sharing on my Windows 7 computer when iTunes libraries on other computers on the same network and connected to the same Home Sharing can?

    I have never previously had any problems with Home Sharing, I have always found it to be completely reliable as advertised. I have 2 computers in the house, (one MacBook and one Windows Desktop) connected to the same Home Sharing account, connected to the same BT Home Hub 4. My situation is that I have nearly 2TB of data of which I would like to share with the home wirelessly, in my mind the desktop is the logical place for this to be shared from.
    When running, iTunes on this desktop broadcasts to other iTunes libraries, but no other iOS devices or Apple TV's connected to the same Home Sharing account cannot see it.
    I have tried turning Home Sharing off, and then turning it back on, closing iTunes, restarting the computer, going to Network and Sharing Centre and unticking IPv6 in the network adapter properties, even completely wiping the computer and reinstalling Windows 7.
    One of the Apple TV's in the house was recently purchased by my parents with the promise from me that everything would work seamlessly... so far it isn't and I am frustrated that the Apple technology that I have come to rely on isn't working as expected.
    One thing that has occurred to me upon writing this is that it is a very large amount of data, and I have not attempted to share this with another computer that is currently working and broadcasting it's Home Share fine.
    I am sorry if I have ommitted any important details, any further questions don't hesitate to ask. I would be so grateful of any suggestions, my parents are depending on me.

    I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem.  The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6.  (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
    So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
    You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
    Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

  • HT3819 Can I use Home Sharing to permanently Transfer my old iTunes Library to a new macbook pro?

    Hi,
    I have a quick questoin regarding iTunes Home Sharing. 
    1. Can I use Home Sharing to transfer music from my iTunes Library on my old Power Mac to iTunes on my new MacBook Pro?
    2. If I deauthorise iTunes on my old Power Mac will I lose my music on my new iTunes Library on my Macbook Pro - essentially are the two somehow linked together? I want to erase my old HD, wipe it clean, chuck it in a case and use as a back up storage, and then sell my old Power Mac.
    Thanks in advance.

  • HT3819 i originally synced my ipad to itunes on my computer before I found out about home sharing.  Since I set up home sharing, can I remove the synced library?  It seems to be taking up space

    i originally synced my ipad to itunes on my computer before I found out about home sharing.  Since I set up home sharing, can I remove the synced library?  It seems to be taking up space and I'd like to free it up.

    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???

  • HT202213 iTunes: Home sharing can't be activated due to an error (5506). Who can help?

    iTunes: Home sharing can't be activated due to an error (5506). Who can help?
    I have an Apple ID but for some reason iTunes does not recognizes it.
    I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes as well?

    Did you ever figure it out? I am new to itunes and it won't allow me to home share with my daughter because I don't have a credit card.

  • Using home sharing, can I view (stream) TS folders?

    Using home sharing, can I view (stream) TS folders as I would with DVD Player? Must they be be converted to smaller H264 first (don't want to...too many, takes too long)?  Does it place more demand to stream TS folders on the WiFi that iTV is hooked up to, as opposed to the smaller file size h264?  Can it be done at all?
    It is the deciding point for me in purchasing iTV.
    Thanks!

    No, all content needs to be in Mpeg4 format and in your iTunes library.

  • If I use my husbands apple id for home sharing can i still use my own for downloading apps?

    If I use my husband apple id for home sharing, can I also use my own to purchase apps and music?

    Sorry, let me clarify. I have two Apple IDs A and B:
    A: Used for iCloud. All my calendar, mail, contacts, and other iCloud features are here. This is the ID I use as "the" iCloud on my iOS devices and OS X machines.
    B: Used only for purchases, on all my devices and machines. This is what I used to log into iTunes, or to buy apps for iOS or OS X.
    The issue is that the only way (currently) to set up Family Sharing is to invite from an iCloud ID (A, in my case) on an iOS 8 device. That's not the ID (B) I use for purchases. The question is whether there's a way to share those purchases given that I'm configured on all my devices with A for iCloud. (Clearly if I somehow send invitations from B, I can share purchases; but that's not the question.)
    It sounds like the answer to that question is 'No'.
    If that's the case, how do I invite from B? Do I have to configure an iOS device with B as the iCloud ID? My problem isn't that I want to ("willy nilly") avoid inviting form B; it's that there seems to be no way (certainly no convenient way) to do that.

  • With home sharing, can I sync music and apps on multiple computers at home?

    Hi.
    With home sharing, can I sync music and apps on multiple computers at home?
    Basically, I want to sync my iphone and ipad on 2~3 computers at home without deleting contents in my iphone and ipad.
    thanks.

    I did some more checking as I still had my old computer online.
    I booted and went into iTunes.
    Under DEVICES, the TV was listed, along with MUSIC, PHOTOS, PLAYLISTS, much like an iPod/Touch.
    When I went into PREFERENCES->TV DEVICES, the TV was listed and on the site, it stated SYNCING.
    On the other computer, it listed STREAMING.  I did do a RIGHT CLICK on the device and selected "STOP STREAMING" and it disappeard - must RE-PAIR with the unit I guess.
    I'm afraid to perform the following, but if someone out there has the equipment, maybe they can check...
    Make sure nothing else is managing the TV.
    Pair with the unit so you have all sorts of options under the device and it shows 'syncing'.
    Now, create a new account and perform the same thing or use another Mac.  I believe it will limit you to STREAMING only.
    My thoughts are that ONLY ONE computer can sync (just like other device).  I have to disconnect the association with the old computer.
    Even though I moved everything over with Migration Assistant, I didn't have any issues with managing the iPhones, but I'm wondering if there is a Computer UUID that the AppleTV is TIED to.  Since I'm on a different computer UUID, and it's being managed by another one, I'm limited to STREAMING.
    Only other choice is to RESET the unit - now, where did my manual go?
    Thoughts?
