  • Home sharing - library won't load

    Details:
    -home sharing is turned on for both windows computers
    -I am logged in with the same apple id on both home share accounts
    -I have disabled my firewall as a precaution
    -both computers are connected to the same network
    -I am using windows 8.1 on my computer, windows vista on the other
    -both computers are using iTunes 12.0.1.26
    So I can see the home sharing icon on both computers and I can see the names of the other computers on each one.  When I click the other library I want to see, it says "Loading Bob's Library", but it never loads.  Earlier it would try to load and then just go back to my library, but now it seems that it just keeps spinning like it is trying to load, but it never does.
    I have seen and read the "trouble shooting" suggestions by apple, so please don't recommend those.
    Thanks for the help.

  • My Home Shared Library won't load.

    I need help here guys, I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes on both computers, the laptop with all the music can see the new PC's library, but when I tried to load the old library, it says "Loading Elijah's Library" for about 10 seconds and then nothing pops up, things return to the way they were before, I want to transfer all my music over, I did it once last time, but I had to wipe the new PC and start from scratch and now iTunes isn't working properly, help would be appreciated.

    Also, sometimes when checking for new purchases on my library when it is loading, the ability to view that library under home sharing disappears completely

  • Home Sharing library will not load!

    My sisters library and mine are set up on a home sharing account. I go into my iTunes on a seperate computer than her and her library shows up in my drop down. But when i click on it in shows the loading symbol but never pops up! Please help!!

    Hi!, I hope my english still works and helps you: using Home sharing I have same issue on my 2 machines (iMac PPC with 10.5 & Macbook PRO intel with 10.6) and the HDD on first machine was partitioned and iTunes's library was copied on 2nd partition. Well, now the "old" iMac PPC reads and copies all library from Macbook, but not vice-versa so both libraries must be in the Home directory.
    Hoping to be a help, I wish you a happy new year!

  • Shared Library Won't Load

    I've been having absolutely no luck with this whole iTunes sharing thing in iTunes 9.
    Firstly, my XP PC will not show up on either my Vista machine or my Mac. I've tried tweaking all the settings, nothing seems to work.
    My Vista library will appear on my Mac, but when it's clicked, the library just says "Loading *'s Library" and refuses to actually load. The bar moves and such, but nothing ever comes up.
    I should mention that my Mac loads up fine on both machines and plays normally.

    Well, here we are in 2013, and this issue is still not fixed. I love my iPhone 4s, and I believe Apple makes the best mobile devises around, but Apple ***** so bad at interoperability, it is shameful.  (I also love the fact that when I check the spelling using Apple's tool, the dictionary does not recognize 'iPhone.' LoL.)

  • Itunes library won't load to ipod mini after ipod to new computer transfer

    I got a new computer and was able to transfer my ipod music into itunes; however, now my ipod has gone blank and it will not load the songs from itunes back onto the ipod. The ipod shows up on itunes, but has no songs listed. It shows that it is empty with a lock next to it on the bottom of the itunes screen.
    Please help!

    As you have all of your songs safely back in iTunes then try restoring your iPod, this will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt you to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings

  • Why doesn't my itunes on my windows pc load on my apple tv?  Home sharing is turned on and my ipad can see it!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
    Consistent Problems
    A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
    Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports
    Port
    Type
    Protocol
    Used By
    80
    TCP
    HTTP
    AirPlay
    443

    49163
    UDP
    MDNS (Win)
    Bonjour/AirPlay
    Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
    Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
    If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them.

  • HT4557 Can home sharing be done between just and ipad and iPhone?

    Can home sharing be done between just and ipad and iPhone?

    No. Home sharing is done from your iTunes library on your computer, not from one iDevice to another iDevice.

  • Shared library will not load

    My Shared library will not load.  I see it in the list, but when I click on it the status indicator runs for a while and then it just goes back to the local library.

    I also have this problem. I have a mac running os snow leopard and my dad has a pc running windows vista. he has no problem taking my music via home share, but I cannot load his library. I click on his library and it loads for a little while and then bumps me back to my local library.

  • HT201335 I have just bought apple TV but i cannot get my TV to find the signal from my Ipad 2. I can access my MAC files and play those through home sharing but no streaming from my ipad. It as though the Apple TV is not receiving the signal. What am i mi

    I have just bought Apple TV 2 and have followed all of the steps as directed. I have set up home sharing so I can watch the files from my MAC on the TV but I cannot get the airplay to stream my Ipad2 to the TV.
    I cannot even get my Apple TV to recognise that my Ipad is even on the same network as it as it gives me no options or recognition that it is trying to send the data.
    What have I missed to make my Ipad2 stream the screen image onto my TV...?
    Frustrated am i with it...!!

    I took a very quick look at the Owner's Manual for that Router.
    Much of this you will already know....but:
    1. Its a combination DSL modem/WiFi Router
    2. It does not have ariel antennas. My experience, the WiFi tends to perform poorly compared to standalone WiFi units and the WiFi range is also limited thus slower the farther away you get (or Apple TV gets)
    3. If you don't have a DSL filter infront of it I recommend using one, even if you don't use phones. DSL comes in the pair as a different frequency and its "probably" best to filter it out anyway.....even though it comes in on a dial tone and a dial tone often exists
    4. Let me know who you ISP is and I will find out what other Routers they offer.
    5. You can buy pretty much any DSL modem / Router online assuming it supports PPOe which most DSL ISPs use
    6. If you have not in fact tried running an Ethernet Cable.....try it.....you can get a 100 footer locally for just a few bucks. It could solve a heart ache

  • Home Sharing Library doesn't include all music that's in main Music Library

    Sorry if this has been answered previously. I haven't been able to fashion a search to find the answer.
    I turned on Home Sharing in the Remote app on my iPhone 4. It readily found my Home Sharing Library from my iMac (that contains 1306 items). After entering in my Apple ID and password, I tried to search for a recently purchased song using the Remote app and it didn't find it. I went to the iMac and immediately found the song in the Library and in the Purchased playlist. I also noticed that the Library on the iMac contains 2781 items.
    Question #1: Why wouldn't the Home Sharing Library on my iMac not contain the same songs that are in the Library on the same iMac?
    To solve the problem, I just synced the iMac to the Remote app (not through Home Sharing) and was able to see my entire library.
    Problem/Question #2: Since my Home Sharing library doesn't show all the music, when my wife's MacBook Home Shares, she too does not see all the music available for streaming. They are all on the same wi-fi network. The reason I use Home Sharing vs. Sharing of the library is that I automatically transfer iPhone apps across the network as she syncs her iPhone to her computer (she wants no music).
    Hoping someone can help me troubleshoot.
    Thanks.
    Martin

    i'm guessing you used more than one iTunes store account to purchase content.
    if that's the case, try authorizing your Mac to play/use the content purchased from the other iTS account(s).
    that's basically very easy. all you have to do is +log out+ of one account (click on the account name in the Store window and select +sign out+ from the pop-up dialog) and into the other, and then they will both be authorized. when done, sign back into your usual account. you'll have to do that one time only.

  • App Store won't load on iPad 2!

    Hello there, I got an iPad 2 with wifi few days back and app store won't load! I have rebooted it several times but it just shows the spinning "loading" circle and nothing happens. Internet connection is not a problem as I am able to use Safari etc with no problems. Brand new, not jailbroken. Please help!!
    Other details:
    16 gig wifi iPad 2
    Just the usual specs - I haven't really done anything with it yet.

    I see that your using an older version of software in your IPad..... I suggest you update first becuase that has happened to me while using other apps. You should update to the 4.3 software that is now available. If that does not help try resetting your wireless connection. Also, clearing your task bar could help.

  • HT1386 syncing using home shared library.

    I was trying to sync from my home shared library on a secondary laptop to an iPod and it would change the name of the file of some songs but not all.  Then I tried it from the primary PC where the songs are located and it did the same thing.  How do I stop it from doing this?  Thanks.

    Hello jmcole1,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
