Home Sharing for 12 a complete mystery

Can someone please explain how i pull across content from one authorized computer to a second on my Home Sharing?  There is no longer a Show or Import button on the bottom of the Itunes 12 menu and the new system is so overly complicated I can't figure it out.  Any help would be appreciated.  This new version is a complete disaster Apple.

Just to add this, I DID look at Itunes help and it says to click the Show Pop up Menu button at the bottom of the Itunes window, but IT'S NOT THERE and there is nothing in the menu bar to turn it on.  God this is so **** frustrating.

    how to see my macbook air on the TV monitor after I finished home sharing for the system?

    Did you purchase your MacBook Air new?  Do you still have its box?  Locate its serial number and telephone Apple at the number shown at the bottom of this page (1-800-MY-APPLE if you're in the U.S.).  They can help you.

  • Can I turn off home sharing for other computers from my own?

    I recently got a new computer and would like to add my music library to it.  When I try to enable home sharing a message pops up stating that I already have 5 computers on my home sharing network.  I don't have all of the 5 computers because some have broken and so my question is that, is there any way for me to turn off home sharing for those computers from my own?

    No such thing is possible via iTunes.
    What is possible is deathorizing all computers and then authorize only the one's that you have access to.

  • How to use home sharing for more that five Apple TV 2nd?

    Hi,
    i know that itunes works (with "home sharing" functions activated) only with max n°5 Apple TV 2nd and n°5 Idevices.
    Now, i've a problem because i need to have n°10 Apple TV that work in the same time with itunes installed on Mac Mini (lion OSX).
    If i use MAC mini with Lion Server OS, the limit for "Home sharing" increase ? or Is possible to use two account for "home sharing" with only one itunes?
    Thank you

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Providing all devices are correctly set up on the same home network, you can stream content on your devices to the Apple TV.
    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

  • Can I use Home Sharing for this...

    I have 3 iphones (2 x 6's and 1 x 5), and an ipad, all of which I use one iTunes account. iTunes and Mac software all up to date
    Is it possible to use Home Sharing to sync them all exactly the same or is the a better/smarter way to do this.
    I have tries to sync them separately and it sort of works when it comes to contacts, apps etc but I want my playlist t be the same and can't seem to get that correct.
    Thanks in advance

    maybe you could try Evernote (available in APPSTORE) to keep track of your reminders. You could use built-in contacts to save your customers contact though or if you are not satisfied enough with it, search in appstore for everything you need, there's plenty of 'em.

    Is there an app I can use for viewing and transferring photos over the Internet? Please help. Thank you.

    That is really crappy. Oh well thank you

  • ITunes Home Sharing for video on iPad with different account

    My husband has a separate iTunes account from mine, however I run our media servers at home where I have a library of movies running through iTunes which we view via Apple TV and other devices.
    He has his iPad set to - Settings/Videos/HomeSharing/His-Apple_ID
    The question is - if I CHANGE THIS to - Settings/Videos/HomeSharing/MY-Apple_ID
    (so he can view my iTunes library)
    Does this mess up his usage/connection to his iTunes account - in any other area of the iPad?
    In other words - can the Home Sharing Apple ID be different than one's personal Apple ID on an iPad for purposes of viewing?
    It would actually be nice if we were allowed to keep multiple accounts to connect to for this for moving to different locations and sharing...

    A happy ending?
    Here's what I did.
    On the Mac Mini.....
    As a safe guard I duplicated the Preference folder in my user library and moved it to the desktop. Then from the original Preferences Folder I moved all the com.apple.xxx plists to the trash and restarted.
    No fix
    I then moved the rest of the contents of the Preference Folder (the system won't allow trashing the actual folder) to the trash and restarted.
    Following that I set up Home Sharing again on both the iMac and the Mac Mini and BINGO.
    It must have been a non apple preference of some sort causing the odd behaviour. Who knows which or what.
    Note that I did not have to move or get rid of any preferences on the iMac!
    Now to try to get the Mac Mini (preferences) back to looking and acting as I want - a reasonably big job but probably worth the effort in the end.

  • OS X 10.8.3 leads to VERY slow home sharing for Apple TV

    Everything was fine, but as soon as I upgraded to OS X 10.8.3 Home Sharing on my Apple TV became unusably slow.
    Internet is fine (I have a very speedy 40Mbps connection) on both my Mac Pro and my Apple TV (for example movie trailers streamed over the internet work fine). The issue is the Home Sharing connection between my Mac Pro and my Apple TV.
    Some Tech Specs:
    Mac Pro (Mid 2010)
    24GB Ram
    OS X 10.8.3 (12D78)
    Connected via Ethernet
    Apple TV 3rd Generation (three weeks old!)
    OS "up to date"
    Connected via Ethernet
    Virgin Media Super Hub
    Cable Modem
    Connected to Mac Pro and Apple TV via Ethernet
    Problem: viewing movies streaming from the Mac Pro, which until I updated to 10.8.3 worked flawlessly, now stream SO slowly, that the Apple TV is now useless for this purpose.
    - Tried using Wi-Fi on the Apple TV. Same issue.
    - Tried turning off Firewall on router. Same issue.
    - Tried using Pro gigabit switch between Apple TV and Mac Pro to see if Cable Modem was at fault. Same issue.
    - Restarted the Apple TV countless times, resetting the network settings on the Mac Pro, renewing the DHCP leases on Mac Pro and  Apple TV. Same issue.
    Curiously, I tried using Nullriver's MediaLink UPnP server to try and stream content from my Mac Pro to my PS3 so I could try and watch content that way. However, the content seemed to suffer from the same extremely slow download... Clearly something has changed with the network settings and it's made my Apple TV a useless lump of black plastic as I bought it for the sole purpose of streaming content from my Mac Pro to the TV downstairs.
    Anyone else have this problem? Any comments or solutions would be welcome.

    I just updated to 10.8.3 today, and my computer and Apple TV won't even recognize each other now.  I have absolutely no advice, but wanted to throw this in so you (and Apple) know you're not the only one. 

  • I have done al the right things to set up home sharing for mine and my sons itunes lib but i still not getting the icon showing in the menu for us to select can anyne help?

    Hi I have done all the right things to set up the home sharing, turned it on, aurthorised it with the same details, but we still have not got the home icon in the menu to select. can anyone help?

    If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
    If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
    Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • Home sharing for iTunes not working between my Windows 7 and Windows Vista?

    I have a HP laptop with Windows 7 on it. The laptop has the latest edition of iTunes. My desktop computer has Windows Vista and iTunes 9. When I turn on home sharing, the library on my Windows 7 appears under 'Shared' on my vista. However, the library from my vista will NOT appear on my laptop.
    I have turned the home sharing option on and off multiple times on both computers. I've also edited the preferences for the 'Sharing' option to make sure that both libraries can be seen and shared. Yet it still isn't working. I have even tried restarting my wireless router and it STILL is not working.
    Is anyone else having a similar problem or know how to help?
