Home Sharing menu, not showing up in iTunes

I have home sharing turned on in iTunes, but the menu does not show up on the left side. How do I get it to show up?

Try instead using the iTunes menus. Go "Advanced > Turn on Home Sharing" as per the following screen shot:

  • Home sharing enabled, not showing up in itunes menu

    I have two pcs and I have enabled home sharing for both and made sure I am signed in under the same apple id for both, but "Sharing
    " does not show up in the menu on the left side of my itunes.  What am I doing wrong?

    I found that switching homesharing off and then turning it back on for me cleared the issue.

    Did you specify the shared secret for your iTunes account in the account settings for your Adobe publication account?

  • IPhone Home Sharing Music not showing in iTunes

    Hi All,
    I have successfully set up Home Sharing on two separate iPhones using the same Apple ID and on my MacBook Air iTunes.  I can view and play the Air's music library on both of the iPhones.  However, in iTunes on the MacBook Air, the iPhones are not showing up under Shared.  Actually, the "Shared" category is not showing up at all.  Is there some reason the iPhone music libraries are not on the iTunes on the MacBook Air.  How can I fix this?
    Recap:
    Home sharing set up on 2 iPhone and on laptop
    iPhone can play laptop music as shared
    iTunes on laptop does not show iPhone music libraries
    iTunes on laptop does not show "Shared" at all.
    Thanks!

    Installing iTunes and logging in with an Apple ID has never caused content to magically appear.
    The content is only where you put it.
    Copy it from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer.

  • Home sharing icon not showing up.

    I enabled home sharing on my Dell desktop, HP laptop, and my MacBook. The home shring icon isn't showing up on the sidebar on both my Dell and HP. It is showing up on my MacBook, but that doesn't really help because I want to transfer the music from my Dell to the MacBook and HP. I tried the troubleshooting, including downloading the lastest version of iTunes and turning home shoring off then on, but nothing worked. Any ides or suggestions?

    more often than not, this issue is due to network and/or firewall settings. check out these links:

  • Home sharing library not showing up

    I have set up home sharing between my two computers, my old computer (secondary), and new computer (primary). Now they are on a good internet connection, and I am able to find them on my home sharing list, however, when I select my old computer's library on my new computer's iTunes, I see a screen saying "Loading 'Secondary Computer'...", for a few seconds, then it simply goes back to the main music screen without accessing my old library. I have tried restarting itunes on both computers, as well as restarting the systems themselves. Please help? I dont understand why my new computer can find my old one, but not sync correctly...
    Windows XP home 32 on old computer, Windows 7 home 64 on new, but that shouldnt be an issue, right?

    More info: I have tried accessing my secondary computer's library from a laptop as well. My primary computer can use my laptop's library, and vise versa. My secondary computer can use both my primary computer's and laptop's libraries. But neither my laptop or my primary computer can access the library from my secondary computer (which is the one with all my actual music!) Not sure what could be causing this computer's library to not be accessible by any other itunes home sharing devices...

  • TS2972 "shared" does not show up in iTunes even though sharing is turned on

    any ideas.  I just got a apple tv and am not able to access my main computer which is a mini mac

    Sharing is nothing to do with homesharing, homesharing is set up from the advanced menu in iTunes.

  • HT202213 Have newest version of ITunes and a new AppleTV. ITunes File Home Sharing only shows option to turn off home sharing.  No home sharing icon and Apple TV claims home sharing is not turned on.  Where is this advanced menu?

    Cannot get home sharing to work with my new apple TV.  Have the latest version of ITunes and the apple TV is connected to my wi-fi network.  The instruction page says to go to the Advanced menu option of ITunes and choose Home Sharing.  This option does not exist.  The closest I can find is under the File option>Home Sharing where my only option is to turn off home sharing.  There is no home sharing icon and Apple TV insist that the home sharing is not turned on.
    I must be missing something obvious here.

  • We have two iTunes accounts on one computer. Why is my music, apps, etc showing in my husbands account? home sharing is not selected

    We have two iTunes accounts on one computer. Why is my music, apps, etc showing in my husbands account? Home sharing is NOT selected. This recently became an issue when we added additional devices. Now we keep getting each other's apps!

    Se descargan aplicaciones para mi iPad 64 3G, las cuales en el momento de sincronizar no pasan a la iPad debido a que solicita una autorizacion para el ordenador la cual se autoriza con ID y el Password, esta orden se procesa y vuelve a solicitar nuevamente la autorizacion y asi sucesivamente.
    He intentado creando nuevas cuentas y desinstalando iTunes y volviendolo a instalar.
    Favor de orientarme en la solucion adecuada para el asunto comentado anteriormente.

  • Since updating to itunes 11, Home Sharing is not working

    Since updating to itunes 11, Home Sharing is not working.
    I am running Windows 7, 64-bit.
    All mobile devices are up to date with ios, including 2 apple tvs (2 & 3), iphone 4s and 3gs, ipad1 & ipad2.
    I've rebooted twice, turned home sharing off, then signed back in. Still nothing.  Rebooted the mobile devices.  No joy.
    Curiously, wi-fi sync is also not working - the devices are not showing up in itunes unless I plug them in. 
    Please Help!

    Yes, you guessed. After some rebbots it stopped working again .So it seems it is not a Firewall issue. Kept looking and found a suggestion in a forum to disable IPv6, apparently iTunes for Windows doesn't work well with IPv6. So I did, and after several rebbots and tests, both Home Sharing and Apple TV 1st Gen are working. To disable IPv6, follow this link
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929852
    It has an MS Fix It that will do it for you. Or if you wnat to go manual, follow this discussion, this guy was having the same issue several months ago
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3507281?start=75&tstart=0
    So far IPv6 is just being rolled out, and it will be a few years until everybody abandons IPv4 and go only with IPv6, so you shouldn't have any issues disabling it. And by then iTunes -I hope- should be fixed to work correctly with IPv6. Try it, and if you find any issues you can always enable IPv6 using another MS Fix it program, or manually reverse what you did
    Hope it is fixed this time!

  • Home sharing no longer shows up on my macbook pro iTunes.

    Home sharing no longer shows up on my macbook pro iTunes. Our main computer is a Dell desktop that is authorized for home sharing. My macbook has also turned on home sharing, but the home computer does not show up. How exactly does home sharing work? Must you be in the same area to be able to use this feature or connected to the same network?

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