Home Sharing from Mac to iPad vs. Mac to AppleTV 2

Some odd quirks about Home Sharing from a Mac to the iPad, vs. from a Mac to AppleTV 2.
I'm seeing duplicates of some of my TV Seasons on the iPad (like, 3 identical icons that claim to be the same Season 2 of a series-the contents are identical). Meanwhile, some TV seasons don't show up at all.
Also, episodes seem once again out of order; this was an issue originally with AppleTV 2, which I fixed by adding both track numbers and season episode numbers.
All my content looks great in AppleTV 2 now-on the iPad..not so much I know the content all plays fine on all 3 devices, so it's not a format issue I don't think. Curious if anyone else is seeing some odd Home Sharing contents on their iPads/iPhones as well.

I am seeing an issue as well. It seems that when using Home Share on my iPad, that the directory listing of for example my TV shows is not complete. What I am seeing is that it only displays a subset of the entire catalog of TV shows in my iTunes Library. I notices that from A through S shows were present but nothing thereafter. So I changed the names of the TV Shows to start with an A for example and they did show up but then several shows dropped off the end of the listing. I concluded that the issue is not an alphabetical issue but just a limited amount of entries within the directory can be displayed.... obviously a bug within the iPad current release of 4.3. I do notice that the iPhone ver of IOS doesn't seem to have the problem. Also it does display several of the identical TV shows as well as mentioned in prior messages.

  • HT1600 I have an Apple TV 2nd Gen, iPad 2 and can't get the icon to appear when i swipe from left to right. What am I missing? I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.

    I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.
    Also using IPad 2 I am able to get the ITunes to accept the user name and same password as the Mac.
    However, the only way I can see the 'Home sharing; icon is in Music on the Ipad. When I tap on the Icon it asks for a password.
    When I give the same password, it is rejected.
    Help!!!!

    Personally I think the iOS devices are poor at reconnecting  - Airplay establishes that a link is available but when the iPhone/iPad has been away from the house and rejoins the network i think AppleTV already thinks it's connected with a different IP address and fails to recognise it has joined the network again with new credentials.
    Something along those lines anyway.
    I find that a combination of restarting AppleTV, router and iOS device tends to fix it, but not for everyone.

  • HT202213 can you setup home sharing from your iPad ?

    can you setup home sharing from your iPad ?

    You can set Home sharing on the iPad by adding your Apple ID in the appropriate area.
    Settings->Music->Home Sharing
    But you still need a computer with iTunes from which to share the library.  You can't share libraries between iDevices.

  • I have been using iCloud since it came out to coordinate my schedules from my phone, ipad and Mac laptop.  Last week they stopped synching...I can't upgrade b/c of memory. Could this cause the problem?

    I have been using iCloud since it came out to coordinate my schedules from my phone, ipad and Mac laptop.  Last week they stopped synching...I can't upgrade past OS 5.1.1. b/c of memory (1st generation iPad and iPhone 4s). Could this cause the problem after the release of the new OS?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

    Of course you do because you're no longer on the same network.

  • HT3819 Can you access home sharing from iPhone 5 that is on another wifi. Say mcdonalds

    I want to access my music, videos, etc. from my computer. On iPhone 4 I was able to do this with home sharing. Now my iPad, iPhone 5 cannot access unless I am at home. I have iTunes Match. How do I view my movies over wifi with home sharing

    There is a difference between accessing one of your computers at home over a local network (wired or WiFi) and trying to access the same shared folder from outside of your local network. In principle it isn't possible due to the way data is routed via the internet. You should be able to access past iTunes store purchases (where applicable) and your iTunes Match account via any Wi-Fi point that connects you to the internet directly from Apple's servers, however it might be that certain places restrict access to particular servers.

  • Can't log into Home sharing from an iPhone to computer via wifi

    Every time I log into home sharing from my iPhone 4S it loads halfway and stays there until it times out. I've restarted everything, verified all network connections. No firewall. I used to be able to stream music to my phone, but can't any more. The only possible change (aside from major updates from Apple), was a substantial increase in the size of my library around the same time. But my iPod Touch was still able to sync, as well as a friends iPad. Any ideas?Every time I log into home sharing from my iPhone 4S it loads halfway and stays there until it times out. I've restarted everything, verified all network connections. No firewall. I used to be able to stream music to my phone, but can't any more

  • So, I have created my home sharing from my base computer to my laptop. On my lap top I see the tab for home sharing but it will not let me connect to my computer to share my music over. I have done everything iTunes has told me to but it still won't work.

    So, I have created my home sharing from my base computer to my laptop. On my lap top I see the tab for home sharing but it will not let me connect to my computer to share my music over. I have done everything iTunes has told me to but it still won't work. Any help would make my day...

    I got some more info that may help.
    I put a cd on my laptop, and was able to share it to my computer... So the problem is only from my computer to my laptop. I tried the firewall thing and it did not help. I read the rest of the trouble shooting page, and nothing else applies. iTunes is an execption and already was. I can not think of anything else being my problem. Do you think I should re-install iTunes or would that be a waste of time? At this point I am about to just call Apple for some help because I am getting to stressed over this.
    Thanks

    Can anyone assist me with this issue?

    To downgrade, you'll need to download the previous software version here: ATV3 http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4361.20120605.grjot/AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
    ATV2: http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4362.20120605.t8i4U/AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
    Next, plug the Apple TV into your computer with a micro-usb cable (most phones today use these) and start up Itunes. It should detect the Apple TV in recovery.
    After that, hold down Option on Apple or Alt on Windows and click Restore. This should open a window that allows you to select the software update you want to apply. Select the one you downloaded earlier.
    It will then go through the restore process, which takes only a few minutes, and then you will be able to plug the Apple TV back in to your display and set it up again.
    I recently ran into a similar issue with a bunch of these things and after restoring them all to the previous software version they are working again.

  • How to import a playlist in Home Sharing From Computer to ...

    How to import a playlist in Home Sharing From Computer to computer and other devices?

    No need to "import". Just find the photo in iPhoto (i.e. within the application), click it once so it's highlighted with a blue outline, then select Edit menu > Copy (or just ⌘-C). Go to Address Book, select the contact, click the Edit button at the bottom, click once on the blank photo icon so it's highlighted with a blue outline, then select Edit menu > Paste (or just ⌘-V).
    FYI, the original iPhoto images are stored as individual files, in ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/subfolders.
    Hope this helps...
