    How do I resolve home sharing error -3259?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    This alert is often the result of iTunes being blocked by firewalls on the computer.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Try turning off your Firewall to see if the issue is resolved (this includes the built-in Firewall or a third-party Firewall such as Norton Personal Firewall, McAfee, Symantec, etc.). See iTunes: Music Sharing does not work if Firewall is on for steps if using Mac OS X.
    If there's no firewall or security software interference, try to remove proxy settings.

    You guys are not alone here. I have a win vista that does not want to activate home sharing. The problem is that I have two other vistas and one xp that work fine. I contacted support but it was no help, the person who replied couldn't give me any info on error 5510. I'm going to wait to see if the next update will fix this. If anyone know how to get rid of this error and make home sharing work, please be kind and post

  • Windows 7, Home Sharing error 3253

    I just bought Apple TV Model MD 199E/A SW level 5.1.1(5433).
    I'm trying to activa the home sharing function on my PC (Gateway with Windows 7 Home Premium Serv Pack 1), so thatI can start using the Apple TV gadget  & can not get past error code -3253 while attempting to activate the fucntion.
    The info thatI pretend to share is in a Time Capsule 802.11n 4th generation vers 7.6.1
    What do I need to do??
    Thanks for your help

    I was able to resolve my issue. Here's how:
    Did a lot of research on this. I have a Linksys WRT120N router where the only device not on Wifi was my Windows 7 PC (it was plugged in with an Ethernet cable while everything else was on Wifi). Having fiddled with the router settings to no avail, I went out and bought a Wireless USB adapter to put the Windows 7 PC on Wifi.
    When I set that up, I could now see my Windows 7 library on the Apple TVs. However, when I went into the library, it was stuck on "Loading Library" in perpetuity.
    I looked in my list of Windows services running (Start -> Control Panel -> Search for "Services") and noticed that, even though I disabled the Windows Firewall in the System and Security settings, the Windows Firewall service was still running. I disabled the service (right click -> properties) and restarted the computer. Voila, it works now.
    It is possible that the problem was the Windows Firewall service (not the Wireless), but I've read countless posts where people had issues with the devices being on wired and Wifi and not seeing each other. As such, I haven't (and don't plan to) tested it back with just the Ethernet cable. If you're having my issue, you can try that first.
    I should also note that when this wasn't working, I was also unable to use my iPhone to pair as a remote with iTunes. It would pair but the iPhone would be stuck in "Looking for" when I tried to control the library. This is now also fixed after doing the above.
    Hope this helps anyone else frustrated out there.

  • ITunes 9 Home Sharing Error (-42408)

    I have a MacBook Pro 17" 2.16GHz, Core Duo, Snow Leapord, iTunes 9.2 that I am trying to turn on Home Sharing.
    Although I can authorize the MBP, when I try to activate Home Sharing, I get an iTunes Store error (-42408).
    I NEED to use iTunes 9 because it is the last version of iTunes that will display non-square podcast imbeded images properly - full screen without letterboxing to a square display.
    The reason I need Home Sharing turned on is so I can play videos residing on the MBP on an iPad v1 iOS5.
    Can anyone tell me why I am getting this error and what (if anything) I can do to get Home Sharing turned on?
    TIA

    OK, I think I just found a clue to my problem.

    Seems that at this time, I need iTunes 10.2 to Home Share with iOS 5+ devices, even though it is an available option in iTunes 9.2, it no longer works with the iTunes Store. 
    Sigh....

  • -3259 Home Sharing Error

    I was getting the error message -3259 when trying to turn on Home Sharing oniTunes. I am running Windows 7 64 bit and iTunes 10.5.2.11
    Here is what worked for me.
    1). Find your iTunes library. This is the folder where all your music is stored. Open iTunes, go to “Edit” main menu then got to “Advanced” and look for “iTunes Media folder location”. This is where your music is stored. Copy this folder name.
    2). In Windows, go to this location. You should be looking at the “iTunes” folder in Windows. Right click on the iTunes folder. Scroll down till you see “Share with”, then select “Specific people”. Use the pull-down and select “Everyone”. This will take a few minutes. Here is an excellent video on how to do this:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/share-files-with-someone
    3). Next go to iTunes. Make sure you RESTART iTunes!!! If you do not do this will not work. After restarting iTunes go to “Advanced “ menu and “Turn on HomeSharing”. You will then get a message “Home Sharing is now on”. It may take afew minutes before you get the message.
    Hope this helps:

    I spent some time working on this and realized I had made some changes to the Firewall using the command line. By entering this command, I was able to clear out the Firewall settings and everything wordked as designed.
    sudo /sbin/ipfw -f flush

  • Home Sharing - error 5506

    I have tried to activate Home Sharing as I want to transfer music from Cds loaded to Itunes on my desk top to my Kindle Fire. When I try to activate Home Sharing I get the message "Home sharing could not be activated because an error occurred (5506)" What am I doing wrong?

    <Email Edited by Host>

    So I've got two things to add:
    1. When I try to set up Home Share on my laptop (itunes) it gives me the 5506 error.  When I try to set up Home Share from my Apple TV, it says my password is incorrect or my apple ID was not found.  I've checked/re-entered it 3 times, so I'm pretty sure this is some problem on Apple's end.
    2. I am able to play my music to my apple TV from itunes on my laptop.  In the lower right there is a little rectangle that says "My Computer."  It is actually a dropdown menu to choose an output - I can choose My Computer, Apple TV, or both, and it will play out of my TV.
    I realize that neither of these are solutions but at least I can have music going in my living room which was the point.  Hopefully this gets fixed soon!

  • Home Sharing Error Message

    I have home sharing turned on and i can see the library on computer 1. The error message is "the file could not be copied because this computer is not authorized. What seems to be the problem? Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks, Steve H

    what you can try is to disable home sharing from the advanced tab on the menu bar on both machines then turn it back on for both machines.
    also, these reads might be useful: one and two.
