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.

HT4367 I am trying to activate home sharing but I am getting error code 5506. ID not recognized.

I am trying to activate home sharing for Apple 2tv, and getting error 5506.My ID is not being recognized. to enable me to share. Yet I can sign.Any answers.

Yes, the store didn't properly activate the card. If the store is nearly then you could try going back and asking them to do so, if it isn't (or if they can't/won't help) then try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

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?

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!

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.

Windows Sharing -error code -50

I've sucessfully sharing files with my windows PC until today when a power cut knocked the PC down. Since then I have been unable to connect to its shares from my mac and am just getting 'Error code -50' whenever I try to mount a share on my desktop. The Mac gets the list of shares, and authenticates and then gives me that error.
I have tried turning the sharing on and off in windows, and cretaing a new share, and again the mac sees it but won't connect...
Anyone know what an error code -50 means and how to fix it? I have searched but can't find any answers..

This tells me that your Mac was caching info needed to connect to your Windows machine and when the power went out that cached info was deleted.
Check passwords, IP addresses, usernames, sharenames, delete any Keychain info that might be saved for the Windows box.
On the Windows box make sure GPO settings for "Digitally sign server communcation..." have not been defaulted
Basically, re-do all steps from scratch to enure nothing was reset or defaulted

Vista Home Premium - Error code 80070490 - Windows update

Computer - Satellite 200
Operating system - Vista Home Premium (service pack 1)
Problem - When I try to update from Windows Update (both manual and automatic) I get error code 80070490
I have tried - System restore, downloading and paying for "RegCure" and following instructions on Microsoft forum all without success.
The computer was supplied with a recovery disk which does not have "repair" facility.
If you have a solution that does not involve a full re-load I would be very grateful
Please make instructions comprehensible to a non-techno!
Thank you

This error may occur if the older Windows Update engine files cannot be
replaced by Windows Update Agent 3.0 (7.0.6000.374).
To troubleshoot this issue, I suggest we first reset permission and
reinstall Windows Update Agent 3.0.
Step 1: Reset permission
================
1. Please download the subinacl.msi file from the following link and save
the installation patch onto the Desktop:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...inityDownloads
2. Please go to the Desktop and double click the downloaded file.
3. Please select the C:\Windows\System32 folder as the Destination Folder
during the installation. Later we will use this tool to reset the permission
settings on the current machine.
Note: If UAC (User Account Control) window is prompted for permission to
continue, please click Continue.
4. Click the Start Button, in the Start Search bar, type: "notepad" (without
quotes) and press Enter.
5. Copy the following commands and then paste them into the opened Notepad
window:
@echo off
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=system=f
@Echo =========================
@Echo Finished.
@Echo =========================
@pause
6. After pasting the above commands, please close the Notepad window. Choose
Save when you are prompted to save the file. Type "reset.bat" as the file
name and choose Desktop from the left panel as the save location.
7. Refer to the Desktop and right click the reset.bat file, then choose "Run
as administrator."
8. You will see a DOS-like window processing.
NOTE: It may take several minutes, please be patient. When it is finished,
you will be prompted with the message: "Finished, press any key to continue".
Step 2: Reinstall Windows Update Agent 3.0
===========================
1. Please download the file from the following link:
Windows Vista (32bit)
http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7...gent30-x86.exe
Windows Vista (64bit)
http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7...gent30-x64.exe
2. Save the file to D: drive.
Note: Please select a drive where Windows Vista was not loaded because the
file cannot be launched directly from the system root directory.
3. Click Start->Run, type: "D:\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe /wuforce"
(without quotations) and then press Enter to install the Windows Update
engine.
Note: There is a space between "D:\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe" and
"/wuforce"
Now, let's run Windows Update again.

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

Home Sharing source codes or properties ?

Hello everyone, homesharing is using for sharing another computer. I thought that an android device is also a computer. so i want to find a way to use my itunes library on my android device. That way could be a program, or a service or something else. I just want to use my android device as a computer for sharing itunes library on my local network.
So, how do i access homesharing properties for developing an android program. Is apple sharing them (i dont believe that apple and sharing codes words could stay together. just a tiny hope)

Home Sharing is working perfectly fine for me, and I'm quite sure many others. I'm using Windows 7, a Linksys WRT54G router with WPA2 security enabled, and iTunes 10.1.2. It would help if you could answer a few questions:
1- Let's start with the obvious -- what version iTunes are you using? (you need 10.1 but didn't say)
2- Have you enabled Home Sharing on your computer and ATV?
3- What router make and model are you using? I don't know of specific issues here, but others may.
4- Is the ATV hooked up to your router via ethernet, or wireless? If wireless, try ethernet at least temporarily if you can, just to narrow down the problem as it may be a wireless configuration in your router's settings.
5- Using the Remote App on your iPhone, can you control the ATV? Or, can you only stream audio to ATV from your iPhone? If Remote works, can you get to YouTube, Netflix, or the iTunes store and successfully play any content?
