Home Sharing is enable but not showing up on page under devices????

I've sat here for hours now trying to figure out why my Home Sharing is not showing up on my page. Someone please help!!!!!!!!!

I have a similar problem. I have iTunes/iPod running on my Windows 7 PC, I have chosen and selected "Home Share" in iTunes on the PC yet when I try to used the iTunes home share on my iPad it continues to show me that I need to activate Home Share in iTunes on my PC.
I would also like to mention that Home Share has never displayed in the "library" menu on the left in iTunes. What am I doing wrong? Does my iPod need to be plugged into my PC? My music is of course loaded on it and my PC. None of my devices show unless they are plugged into the PC.
Thanks for your help!

TS2972 Home sharing is enabled but can not see shared libraries on any devices

I don't see my shared libraries on authorized computers, iphone, nor Apple TV.
Ran netstat -an
and see the listener for TCP tcp port 3689
Also see an entry for udp port 5353.
I can open a connection to the tcp port 3689 via a java api program and telnet.
I also used TS2972 to help with thiss
the only thing I did not do is reset the router but since I can open the ports I don't beleieve it is a router issue
All devices ere connected to the same router
All devices are using the same apple id
Need this to work to get the most out of the iphone and apple tv
any ideas are appreciated

I have set the apple ID in the Home sharing setting on windows. Also set it on the iPhone and Apple TV and also shared another library on another windows iTunes application. I don't see any shared libraries on any device. Both the pcs only show the local libray.

Home sharing working fine - but not for paid itunes content on some devices

My setup is a simple apple home sharing network.
I have a mac mini running OS X 10.6.8 and itunes 11.0.3(42) it hosts a lot of music, DVD's that have been re-encoded and paid for content from itunes.
The mac mini is conntected to the network over a very good gigbit lan and has 4 apple TV3 (latest gen) hanging off the network, and multiple PC/Mac/ipod/ipad devices hanging off the network.
All these devices connect using home sharing and work very well (I can use all 4 apple TV devices at once streaming 1080p media with no lag / delay problems)
There is one exception to this, my PC and Mac.
I have a Macbook pro running OX 10.6.8 and itunes 11.0.3(42) and a PC running Windows 7 64bit with Itunes 11.0.3(42). Both are also connected via gigabit lan, both run of SSD's so have excellent local disk performance, both have over 6 GB of ram at least.
If I open itunes and connect to the itunes home media server and play music, tv shows films all is well, ranging anything from a DVD rip to a HD bluray rip. as soon as I try to play a HD movie or TV show downloaded from itunes there is a problem. I get approx 30 seconds into the content and then it just stops as if I'd hit pause and never actually starts playing.
At first I thought this was buffering problems/flooding on my lan, so I isolated this, even though my network monitor shows lots of capacity on the lan, I removed all devices apart from the mac mini serving the home media and either the PC or the Mac, I hit the same problem.
To diagnose this further I opened a network monitor application on the PC, the playback mac and the media server mac mini and tried to open a file in itunes.
on the client and the server the network spikes straight away, and uses 100 network for around 5 seconds (if I do this with other devices such as apple TV's plugged into the network too the overall usage is lower, it basically uses as much as is availble, so %100 utilization isn't a problem) and then the network traffic just stops on both devices. The same is true of the disk activity, I see a raise is disk I/O on the home media mac mini for 4 - 5 seconds and then a lesser spike on the local playback machine both stop after 4 - 5 seconds in sync with the network stopping.
Both machines remain on the network fine, but the transmission of the media between itunes server and client just stops. I then open another file, a bluray rip, some music etc, and it plays works fine, return back to the paid for itunes content, it fails at exactly the same spot.
This happens on any itunes paid for HD movie or TV shows, so it's not just one file, it's approx any of the 200 itunes downloaded HD files I have on this machine.
I can play the files fine with apple TV's, I've tried watching 4 different apple downloaded itunes HD films at once on 4 apple TV's it works fine, it's only if I open the file via itunes with the PC or Mac.
All are linked with the same home sharing account so it's not / shouldn't be a DRM style issue.
Why is this happening on the more powerful PC/Mac computers, but not on the lesser apple TV, ipad, iphone devices ?

going to try to bump this to get some traction / suggestions on it

IPod touch not showing up in finder, under devices.

My iPod doesn't show up on finder. It should come up under devices but all that is there is my mac, and firefox. I really need it to be there so please help.

I have the same problem... iTunes is not allowing me to upload music that wasn't purchased explicitly through iTunes. I am trying to transfer my newer iPod Touch to my son so I can use his older iPod Touch. He wants the ability to play games, and I only care about keeping my music library. To complicate matters, I just bought a new Macbook Pro, and hadn't planned on simply migrating from the old one.
Nearly all of the music on my device was loaded through Amazon purchases or ripped CDs, as I don't really care for iTunes all that much. The KB here notes that only iTunes purchases can be uploaded (weak tea, Apple... seriously weak).
Fortunately, I still have my old laptop, so I'll have to use the migration assistant. Yippie...

I SET UP THE HOME SHARING ON MY COMPUTER, AND i CAN STREAM MY PHOTOS AND SEE ALL THE VIDEOS AND LISTEN SONGS IN MY ITUNES, BUT CAN NOT DO HOME SHARING, ON THE TV, ALWAYS SHOWS "TURN ON HOME SHARING ON YOUR OMPUTER WITH YOUR ID WHICH I DID BUT NOTHING HELP

I just bought my apple tv yesterday and SET UP THE HOME SHARING ON MY COMPUTER, I CAN STREAM MY PHOTOS AND SEE ALL THE VIDEOS AND LISTEN SONGS IN MY ITUNES, BUT CAN NOT DO HOME SHARING, ON THE TV, ALWAYS SHOWS "TURN ON HOME SHARING ON YOUR OMPUTER WITH YOUR ID WHICH I DID BUT NOTHING HAPPEN. WHAT'S WRONG? WHAT SHALL I DO NOW?

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!

I have activated home sharing but it's not showing up in my iOS devices

I have iTunes 10.4.1 and iOS 4.3.5 on my ipod touch and I have activated home sharing but it's not showing up in my iOS devices. I don't know what i'm doing wrong.
My firewall is allowing iTunes. I even disabled it and see if that would work, and it didnt.

I've heard on older versions that you need to disable home sharing, then turn it back on but there's a trick, DO NOT HIT THE DONE BUTTON! when you click DONE it actually closes sharing. after you enter your username and password and hit enter, just go and click on your music folder on the left.
This seems to be the fix for many.
Word of caution - don't upgrade to iTunes 10.5 - it's breaks home sharing.

Desktop library no longer showing up on laptop home sharing is enabled on both computers

my desktop library is no longer showing up on my laptop. Home sharing is enabled on both computers. The laptop library DOES show up on the desktop computer. The solution given in itunes help doesn't help. there is no box under edit, preferences, shared that says "look for shared libraries"

you will need both computer have itunes turned on and you will need a wifi for them to work.

My iPhone 4, bluetooth turn on in settings but not showing on home screen

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?

Look at all the posts in the forum from users with similar problems, it happened with the last Logic update.

How can I access my music library from a laptop on the road, as if my PC is not active? I tunes is installed on both PC and Home Sharing is enabled on both devices.

How can I access my music library from a laptop on the road, as if my PC is not active? I tunes is installed on both PC and Home Sharing is enabled on both devices.

The key constraint for Home Sharing in this context is that both PCs need to be on the same wifi network. So once you get out of range of the wifi network covering your home PC, the laptop is not going to be able to Home Share.
Have you considered importing your iTunes music to the laptop? Then you could listen to a local copy of the music on the laptop while you're on the road. (You can do the import via home sharing when both computers are on the same wifi network.)

In downloading my Events from iPhoto on my Mac to my iPad Air, the Events arrive in the proper order but not showing the Key Photo. At the same time, the Events arrive in iPhoto on the iPad in totally random order but showing the Key Photo.Why?

In downloading my Events from iPhoto on my Mac to my Ipad Air, the Events arrive in Photos in the correct order but not showing the Key photo. At the same time, the Events arrive in iPhoto in a totally random order but with the Key phto showing. Why? of course and is there a way to shift the order in Iphoto and get a Key photo in Photos?

HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
i tried to sort it out by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

Data is in the repository, but not showing on the EPM workspace

Hi All,
Recently we have migrated from Hyperion8.5 to Hyperion11.1.1. Migration went on well no errors, after migration I see some folders missing and when I queried on the repositories all the folder data and reports are there in the repository but not showing up in the EPM workspace. It is weird. Did any one encountered this type of error. Is there any work around to this.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Check BI+ security in shared services. Set someone to BI+ Administrator and have them look in Workspace for the reports. In Workspace, check the Permissions of each folder.

Device is enabled but not star

I have looked everywhere for a solution to this problem and found one:
Symtom:
Sound Blaster Li've 24-bit Device shows up in device manager correctly (no
! on it)
Device is enabled and is working properly.
Clicking on properties shows that the device is enabled but not started.
Creative Diagnostics indicates that only hardware driver passes testing, all others (midi,wave, etc) failed.
Control Panel -> Sound/Audio devices shows no audio devices.
Problem:
Plug and Play Device Emulator not listed in system devices.
Solution:
Copy C:\WINDOWS\inf\machine.inf to C:\temp
Edit C:\temp\machine.inf so that you delete the line that says ExcludeFromSelect:*
Go to Control Panel and add hardware.
Click Yes it is already connected.
Add new system device
Choose driver to install from list
Click on Have disk.
Browse to C:\temp\machine.inf
Select System Devices/Plug and Play Enumerator.
System Specs:
Windows XP SP2
Sound Blaster Li've 24-bit
Pentium 5 .5GHz
Gb PC2700 RAM
What I tried before doing this that didn't work:
* removing sound card from motherboard completely,
* tried reseating in each of 5 different pci slots
* uninstalling all sound drivers and devices
* reinstalling all creative software
* cleansweep of windows
* uninstall from device manager and allow windows to detect
* ctzapxx.exe on cd from creative.
* confirm on-board sound card was disabled in BIOS
None of those things seemed to work. I'm not sure why the plug and play device enumerator has to be there or what it does, but when I reinstalled that device, my sound card was working perfectly again.
I only post this because I see many people having similar problems!

I had the exactly same problem with my new Sound Blaster Li've 24-bit card. (Device is enabled and is working properly, clicking on properties shows that the device is enabled but not started, Diagnostics indicates that only hardware driver passes testing, all others (midi,wave, etc) failed.)
This is a Perfect working solution!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
My "system" specs:
Windows XP SP2 (all updates available instaled)
Sound Blaster Li've 7. 24 bit BULK
CPU K6 II/400 MHz
RAM 256Mb PC33
Slots:
AGP (2x)
2 ISA
3 PCI 2.0!!!
Luckily for me, my problem was in the enumerator, not in my old PC.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AGAIN!

As you connect your ipod to iTunes, an option in the upper right of the screen will appear. When you click this, it will show the different menu for your ipod.

Either the physical drive or the enclosure electronics has failed. The light you are seeing is powered by the USB connection, the power, electricity, all USB ports put out. That doesn't mean the actual physical hard drive or the USB to SATA bus electronics are working properly. If it doesn't show in Disk Utility then it is DEAD.
Most of the time it is the enclosures electronics that fail. Removing the physical drive from the enclosure and put it in another enclosure or using a SATA to USB adapter, one that has it's own AC power supply, might allow you to get the files off the drive.
