Home sharing is not visible on one laptop, but the other one is fine.

I need some help.  I am trying to home share between 2 laptops.  Should be simple right?  Laptop A has all the media.  I want Laptop B to be able to access it.  I am using the same itunes ID for both computers and each computer has authorized that account.  Under preferences the sharing in enabled for both laptops.  Laptop A that has all the desired media can also see Laptop B under 'Sharing'.  Laptop B cannot locate laptop A.  There is no sharing icon at all.  I have read through the support, tried authorizing and sharing under preference etc.  Logged in and out multiple times.  I have even updated Bonjour, but I am still unable to view Laptop A or see any sharing icon at all.  The sharing icon simply disappears after I log on to home share.  I am on the same network and there is only one router.  If someone could offer some insight I would be eternally grateful.

Hi Marinosh,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You mention that you've already tried some steps, but I wanted to make sure that you've tried all the steps in the article below if Home Sharing isn't working on your iOS devices:

  • How do I get incoming mail in one of my mailboxes unstuck.  It will not download any mail in one box but the other mailbox works fine

    How do I get incoming mail in one of my mailboxes unstuck??  It is trying to download it but seems jammed.  The other mailbox is working fine.  I know there is mail there because it is coming into my bb.  This just started this morning.  I took someone's suggestion and duplicated my mail from the library and I then put com.apple.mail.plist on my desktop.  I was unable to delete the incoming mail from the mailbox however so don't know what to do.
    Help?

    Try this: If this is Apple Mail, select the Mailbox, then from the Mail Menu>Mailbox>Rebuild.

  • One safari is fast but the other one is extremely slow while open the same website!

    When i open nrich.maths.org on my two macbook pro, one is fast but the other one is extremely slow. I traced this website on both but seemed nothing difference.
    My safaris are both version 5.1.2 (7534.52.7), os are 10.7.2, settings of safaris are same.
    I also tried some other sites but all's fast.
    Anybody have any ideas?
    Appreciate!
    Tony

    On the one that's slow...
    Go to Safari > Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    If it's not an extension issue, try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
    Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Qui then relaunch Safari to test. If Safari speeds up, move that .plist file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.
    Empty the Safari cache more often. From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    If that doesn't help, back to the menu bar, click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons, click Reset.
    ~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
    For Lion:   To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

  • TS2972 One of my computers is working but the other one isn't

    One of my computers is working but the other one isn't, so it isn't a network problem. I've restarted iTunes, logged out and logged back into home share and the library still isn't coming up. What's the problem and what should I do?

    PS It worked before and I managed to copy 1000 songs but now its stopped working.

    You need to setup different Receive At addresses for iMessage.
    If you don't want the same pics on each, turn off PhotoStream.

  • Home sharing icon not visible

    I have two computers in my home and i am trying to share files between the two. but when i try to use home sharing it doesn't work. home sharing is on and it has the look for shared libraries checked and everything but the home sharing icon on the left side bar isn't visible. help!

    the following is for iTunes 9 but, except the colors, applies to iTunes 10 too:
    what you want to see in iTunes is this (view from my MBP's iTunes seeing the library on my Mini)
    if you then click on the house icon, it will change to this and the shared library will load. at that point, two buttons will appear in the lower right corner of the iTunes window, being settings and import
    now you should be able to import any content from any shared library by selecting the content and clicking on import.
    if the icon looks like this , home sharing has not been set up correctly.
    in order for home sharing to work
    (a) iTunes on all machines must be authorized for the same iTunes store account
    (b) all machines must be on the same network
    (c) all machines must have access to the internet.
    if none of the above makes a difference, try turning home sharing off on all computers, then turning it back on.
    these reads will be useful: one and two.

  • DNS not resolving on one Mac but the other works fine in same local network

    Snow Leopard is doing something strange to the DNS or the permission to ping.
    I have 2 Macs on the same local network, connect through the same ISP (verizon FIOS). One has no problem resolving any domain, but the other is constantly not resolving some domains.
    The problem progresses like this:
    * All of a sudden, DNS is not resolving from Ethernet (when it did perfectly well a minute ago).
    * Then I switched to wireless (using the same LAN), and it resolved fine.
    * Then it failed completely a few minutes later.
    * Then I reboot my Mac, and it seemed to clear that, and worked for a day.
    * Then it failed again in both Ethernet and Wireless; rebooting does not fix it.
    * I cleared all the caches using Onyx, did "dscacheutil -flushcache", zapped the PRAM, reinstalled 10.6.2 combo update, repaired the permission, nothing works.
    * Since the unresolved domain is my own domain, I changed the nameserver, and waited for it to propagate to see if that may be the problem, since it appeared that it is not resolving the A Record, and I waited 72 hours, and it is not resolved or propagating to the local DNS, but it worked perfectly well on my other Mac within the same network.
    * Then I added other DNS, such as google DNS 8.8.8.8 or openDNS servers to it, but it didn't fix anything.
    * Then I "ping" either the unresolved domain or my own Mac .local, and it gave me the error "permission denied". (Whereas I have no problem pinging my own Mac or the unresolved domain in my other Mac that works!).
    * Then I "sudo ping" the unresolved domain or my own Mac, and it pinged perfectly well.
    * Then I tried "ping6" my own Mac or the unresolved domain on the broken Mac, and it worked fine!
    * Also, I used http://network-tools.com to ping it, and noticed that during the trace, somewhere along the route through te7-2.dsr02.dllstx3.theplanet.com and po2.car04.dllstx5.theplanet.com, it timed out along the route, so I don't know if the timeout could have been causing the reject, but I doubted, because "sudo ping" locally will get through but "ping" does not.
    So I think I traced the Snow Leopard DNS problem as follows:
    * Why does "ping6" works, but "ping" permission is denied unless the user is root?
    * I tried to "chmod 4755 ping" but it won't let me.
    * Is it because DNS is resolving using IPv6 but not IPv4?
    * Or is Snow Leopard somehow screwed up the permission to access ping or similar DNS service?
    * Why DNS has no problem in one Mac but caused problem on the other Mac, even though they are in the same local network?
    * The only difference between the Macs maybe because I have Parallels installed in the Mac that failed to resolve DNS (with the extra Parallels Shared Ethernet), which may be interfering with it, but I tried to turn Parallels Shared Ethernet off, and it did not fix the problem.
    Can anyone help or have any idea that I can fix this nagging bug with DNS? The DNS had worked before, but it simply quit working all of a sudden, and nothing can resurrect it.
    Thanks.

    Shut down Parallels and restart w/o letting any of Parallels TCP/IP stack resurrect itself. So many network issues with VM solutions. See if the problem persists. Create a new account and ping from there. Are your search domains manually entered on the 10.6 box?

  • How do I link multiple Spry Accordions so that when one is opened the other ones close?

    I have created a web site using six Spy Accordions as the menu. I know this is not what they are usually used for but the animation as they open was just right for the site. I've gotten them working just as perfectly as I could want, with one exception. Because there are six independent accordions they all open and close independently. What I want is a way to link them so that when you open up one it closes the others so only one is open at a time. I've looked and looked for anyone anywhere talking about this and I've found nothing. I'm not even sure if it's possible. I know that Spry is being fazed out and jQuary is basically replacing it. I have considered heading in that direction but I've put so much time into this and it works so perfectly except that one thing. Here's the website for referance: http://journeywilderness.com/
    Please... if anyone has any ideas about how to make only one Accordion open at a time please please help me. I'm frustrated beyond words at this.
    Thank you.

    You're trying to use Spry Accordions for something they were never intended to do.   Why don't you switch to a more appropriate jQuery Mega Menu?
    http://www.designchemical.com/lab/jquery-mega-drop-down-menu-plugin/examples/
    In case you missed the announcement, Spry is dead.  Adobe abandoned it late last year because it has outlived its usefulness.

    Hi,
    the problem lies in the error message around the quorum device. The SC documentation, specifically the Sun Cluster Error Messages Guide at http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4681 explains this as follows:
    414208 QUORUM_GENERIC: quorum preempt error in CMM: Error %d --- QUORUM_GENERIC Tkown ioctl failed on quorum device %s.
    Description:
    This node encountered an error when issuing a QUORUM_GENERIC Take Ownership operation on a quorum device. This error indicates that the node was unsuccessful in preempting keys from the quorum device, and the partition to which it belongs was preempted. If a cluster is divided into two or more disjoint subclusters, one of these must survive as the operational cluster. The surviving cluster forces the other subclusters to abort by gathering enough votes to grant it majority quorum. This action is called "preemption of the losing subclusters".
    Solution:
    Other related messages identify the quorum device where the error occurred. If an EACCES error occurs, the QUORUM_GENERIC command might have failed because of the SCSI3 keys on the quorum device. Scrub the SCSI3 keys off the quorum device and reboot the preempted nodes."
    You should try to follow this advice. I would propose to chose a different QD before trying to do this, if you have one available. Is it possible that this LUN has been in use by a different cluster?
    To scrub SCSI3 keys you should use the scsi command in /usr/cluster/lib/sc: ./scsi -c inkeys -d <device> to check for the existence of keys, and ...-c scrub.. to remove any SCSI3 keys.
    Regards
    Hartmut

  • How can I align two different text row in the same table in two different way (one centered and the other one on the left)?

    Hi,
    I want to center two different text row that are in the same table but one on the center and the other one on the left. I put a <span> tag hoping that it has been overwhelmed the table's class properties The .bottomsel's font-family and the .Cig84's font-family and colour work but the text-align don't: they're both on the left.
    These are my source and CSS codes:

  • Got a new computer, did the home sharing, downloaded all tunes into new laptop but not all of the songs can be played now

    as said above..New laptop, downloaded Itunes.  Home shared, downloaded all tunes into new Itunes butalthough they are there some are greyed out and will not play.  How do i fix this ?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • HT202213 home sharing does not appear in my library but it is turned on and I am trying to link Apple TV. How do I make this work?

    Any help is appreciated. I'd hate to have to return Apple TV because I can't get it to sync and be forced to use iTunes Match. The Apple ID's are the same and the internet connection works.

    Have you also turned on Home Sharing on your Apple TV?  See "Setting up Home Sharing for Apple TV (2nd generation and 3rd generation)", http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4352
    If you have turned it on and it still doesn't work, look at "Troubleshooting Home Sharing", http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972
