Home sharing, more tab not displaying? iOS8

Hi everyone, I am trying to share from iTunes 11 on my mac running 10.9.5 to my iPad3 running iOS8. I have turned on home sharing on Mac and Sharing was already on on my iPad. When I launch the Music app, the only buttons I have at the bottom of the app are Playlist, Artists, Songs, Albums, Genre, Compilations and composers. How do I view the more tab to then access the Mac iTunes library which is being shared.?
Thanks

Changed routers and now home sharing libraries are not found.

I have recently changed routers in my home and now my home sharing library is not found . I have checked IP address I have connection and when home sharing is turned on the nextwork name pops up on the screen. however none of my movies or libraries are there and it times out. All worked fine before I changed the router and the only reason I changed was due to the old router being 15 years old and I would loose connection about every 15 to 30 min when streaming. please help Apple support says it the router , router support says its apple, router is NETGEAR N60 Duel Band

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It may be your router settings, but as you were having some issues prior to changing your router, it may well be interference, start by trying a different wifi channel.

When I go to iPod on my iPad to connect to home sharing it does not appears. Where can I find it ?

Hi
What you need to do is enable home sharing in settings >iPod>home sharing is one of the options log on and away you go
In the iPod app it should show up in library
Remember that iTunes must be open on you computer to work
Happy sharing

ITunes 10.6.1, Home sharing: Show: Items not in my Library

iTunes Home sharing's feature to only show items not in my library used to work great, allowing me to keep my main iMac library and my MacBook Pro library synced. But just recently, my main library can no longer seem to sort out what items are unique in connected libraries -- it only shows the books that I don't have. Doesn't display movies, tv, music that aren't unique. I get the whole libary but once I press "Items not in my Libary" it doesn't work properly. What's odd is that I'm fine the other way. My MacBook Pro has no problems with the "Items not in my Library" selection when looking at my iMac's library.
Has anyone noticed change for the worse in the behavior of Home Sharing with respect to showing items not in the local library? I've tried turning Home Sharing off, rebooting both computers, and then turning Home Sharing on. But that doesn't fix it.

@Dr-House:
Dude this worked!!!
this was really bothering me!
thanks a ton for posting and helping all us noobies!

Music from shared library will not display by artist or album.

How do I set up home sharing to display music from shared library by artist and album?

I am not sure if the fix that cuatro476804 suggested is the issue here. I have also been experiencing freezing issues with my Apple TV since the latest Apple TV/iTunes updates. Here is the bug report I just submitted to Apple:
Since the last update to Apple TV or the last updates to iTunes (not sure which is the culprit) Apple TV freezes when trying to play music streamed from iTunes on a Mac.
I have an iMac running iTunes [11.01 (12)] and a 3rd gen Apple TV running the latest OS release as of 12-20-2012. Since the last software update for iTunes and Apple TV, the Apple TV will freeze when playing a song after about 10 - 20 seconds. This happens whether I am using my computer directly or when using the "remote" app on my iPhone 5. I can restart my song again by pressing play, but the song will freeze again after another 10 - 20 seconds.
I can temporarily cure the bug by unplugging my Apple TV for 5 seconds to cold start the gizmo, and then both iTunes and Remote seem to be able to stream without any issues.
but when I try to play music the next day, the same freezing issue occurs again like clockwork.
I thought this was just a rare buggy issue, maybe even a WiFi or other communication problem, but I have been playing tunes on my Apple TV for a couple years streamed from my iMac with not problems. This only started happening after the last software update. Again, not sure if this is the Apple TV update, or the iTunes 10.01 (12) update causing this.
Daily rebooting of the Apple TV is not an acceptable solution. Were this a Microsoft product, sure, but Apple product... its just supposed to work :-)
I hope others will report the same issue so this gets repaired soon.

Apple TV - iTunes Home Sharing - Mac mini - Not Working!!!

Hi everyone, I am in urgent need of help here!
I use the latest Mac mini to hold my iTunes Library to stream it over to my Apple TV with Home Sharing; however, there is a problem - it doesn't work anymore!
If I use my iMac or MacBook Pro, the Home Sharing works great to the Apple TV, without a single problem. For the past week and a half now though, my Mac mini just doesn't want to stream anything over, despite still appearing under the "Computers" column on the home screen of the Apple TV interface.
When I select my Mac mini, I get this seemingly endless loading screen:
http://goo.gl/s0Qg1
When that loading screen does end though, I get this:
http://goo.gl/xj3eY
It says "Could not connect to the Mac mini Library - Make sure your computer has iTunes open, and that it's on the same network as Apple TV."
I always verify that my iTunes is open on the Mac mini and that both the Mac mini and Apple TV are on the same network, and still nothing works.
Is there just some kind of issue with streaming the iTunes Library to the Apple TV via Home Sharing that I'm missing? There shouldn't be, but it's a very consistant problem that has come and gone away at random times, but now it seems to be a permanent and upsetting problem.
If anyone can help me on this matter, please send your helpful words because I would like to fix this problem and not deem my Mac mini as a waste of money. I actually bought the Mac mini for the purpose of streaming my iTunes Library, rather than to bog down my iMac with lag and memory being chewed up, because I need it being fast for my work.
Thank you!

I've got the same problem. Bought a second Apple TV2 a couple of weeks ago and set it up to work with both my iMac and MBP - no problems. Both Apple TV's worked perfectly from both computers until... after a long night at work, the newest one decided to display a message telling me an update was available. Yes, you guessed it! I updated!
Now, although this new Apple Tv displays the libraries from both machines, I get the messages in the original post when I try to access my iMac account - no problem though with my MBP account. Both machines have the up-to-date versions of iTunes. Thank goodness I did not update the older Apple TV2 box!
I echo the sentiments of all the other posts - it is about time Apple pulled their finger out and sorted this mess.
I wonder how many other people have the same problem?

Home Sharing More Than One Computer

I'm relatively new to Apple TV, but I don't understand the "Computer" tab in the main section. I setup the Apple TV with my wife's account info so when I pass over "Computer" I see her account. Last week I added my account expecting to see both accounts in the drop-down, but it seems that I have to log out and then back in to switch. There are some things on my computer that I would like to show via Apple TV, but this logging on and off of the Home Sharing is frustrating with that joy-stick dial. Did I do something wrong or is this the way it works?

Home sharing more than one account

Is it possible to home share more than one account with apple tv?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Yes indeed, you can home share numerous accounts to the Apple TV. What you need to do is use the same ID and password in every case for home sharing, regardless of the fact that it may well be different than the Apple ID and password for the subsequent iTunes accounts.

Home sharing with itunes not finishing songs

Hi,
I have a strange problem with iTunes. I currently use an old Intel iMac as an itunes server, feeding an Apple TV 3 and two Macbook Pro's with songs/movies/TV Shows using WiFi. Recently, I upgraded the iMac HDD to an SSD and placed the iTunes library on an external 1TB drive. Ever since this upgrade I have experienced problems with Home Sharing. It seems that certain songs will not play through to the end when streamed through the Apple TV or either laptop. Only certain songs are affected and will get a certain way through and then seemingly come to an abrupt end (the next song will then start). Play back on the iMac itself is fine, its only when using Home Sharing.
As I said, only certain songs are affected but it seems to be consistently the same songs. With 1 song it will play back the first 30 seconds and then go quiet, although the screen shows as if the song is playing!?
The iMac is running Lion with the latest patches and version of iTunes. I have tried rebooting, restarting iTunes and repairing disk permissions with no luck.
Any ideas?

I am replying to my own message as I have solved this problem and others may have the same issue and the fix I applied may work for them too.
After a short search on the internet I came across an apple support page with instructions on rebuilding the iTunes library. I followed the steps and after rebuilding my playlist my songs now play through to the end on my Apple TV.

HT202213 why after setting up home sharing I do not see all my movies on one of my computers? I only see the movies I downloaded to the specific computer but no sharing?

I tried setting up my home sharing on itunes but after doing so on both computers with same id and password, it still does not show the same material as in movies on both imacs, what am I doing wrong or how do I fix.

Look in Home Video or change the tags in iTunes to Movies.

ITunes 11 home sharing with iPhone not quite working

This morning I updated iTunes 11 to the newly released iTunes 11.1. I never could get home sharing to work with my iPhone 3GS (iOS 6.0.1). It would start to download the library information and then just stop. I used home sharing all the time so I was eagerly waiting for the fix many people seemed to need.
So...Now getting the library information seems to take a long time--5 minutes or so, but it does run to completion. But, my lists of Artists and Albums are incomplete. I haven't done a lot of testing but it seems that all of my tracks are listed under Songs, and all of the references in my Playlists open the correct tracks. For example, Charlie Musselwhite is not listed under Artists. His album One Night in America is not listed under Albums, but the song Blues Overtook Me is listed under songs and appears in the Playlists where it belongs and clicking it there plays the correct song with the correct album artwork. Once I'm playing the song, I can switch from the artwork to the album list and all the album's songs are there and are playable.
I haven't tested every song, but I've done enough to believe that all my tracks are accessible, even though only about 10% of the albums and artists are listed properly.
BTW: I believe that the Album and Artist lists are the ones I would get if I changed iTunes to share only selected playlists, but I haven't bothered to prove this.
What was a prohibitive problem has been made into a minor annoyance, but in case anyone form Apple reads this, let me say this. I have been an Apple user and fan from long before Apple made the first iPod or iMac, but I am incrasingly disappointed with the dumb things Apple now releases. In the past I never thought twice about updating the the latest version of anything, because whatever Apple released worked, and if there were a few minor bugs, new software never, never, never went backwards.
Booooo, Apple.
From now on I will be letting others do your beta testing for you while I continue to use maps that get me where I want to go and applications that work as advertised without drawing me into spending hours getting back to where I was before an upgrade. The fact that it is no longer possible to revert to a previous, properly working version of iTunes has cemented my feeling that I will remain safely behind the leading edge.

just found it out after playing around to get itunes 11 to look like the older version go to view ( TOP LEFT )
and click on show sidebar and then click ON SHOW STATUS BAR ... Then go to file and sign out of home share and then sign in again ... thats it and your import and sttings and other boxs will reapear ...REMEMBER TO REPEAT THIS ON ALL COMPUTERS THAT ARE RUNNING ITUNES .........HOPE YA WIFE IS HAPPY ..MINE WAS ....

Home Sharing works, but not able to transfer files between PCs.

I have two laptops at home, one is an old one I keep dedicated to my Apple TV 2nd Gen. (so I don't have to have my laptop on, or my wife can use the ATV if I'm at work w/ my laptop, etc.)
Anyway, I sync all my media between both computers so when my laptop is not home, ATV still has full media function (as does my laptop). Used to be able to connect via Home Sharing and there was a drop-down menu with an option at the bottom of the Library to show only those files not in my library. I would use that function to transfer all recently added media to the ATV laptop. Since upgrading to iTunes 10, that dropdown menu is nowhere to be found. Any ideas?
I can still connect and play media through Home Sharing, but if my primary laptop leaves the range of the network, the new media content on it can't be accessed on ATV. Primary laptop is Windows 7, ATV-dedicated lap is on Windows XP.
Was the ability to transfer files through Home Sharing lost between iTunes 9 and 10 or did this feature just get moved somewhere else? If it was lost, how can I revert back to iTunes 9? If nothing else, I can just transfer via an external HD, but was just very convenient and easy through Home Sharing...
Thanks for any input!

CmcApp home.faces page will not display.

We have just completed (?) the installation of BOJ 3.1 XI SP 3 and the BOJ SAP integration kit SP 3. The installation is on SQL Server 2008 and SAP Netweaver 7.01 SP 7.
Each time after logging in the the CmcApp page using Administrator and the Enterprise authentication, the next page does not display. In IE8 a download window opens. In IE7 and Firefox the garbage is displayed. I have seen this thread: Re: CmcApp bug on BOE 3.1 using SAP WAS 7.0 and set *.faces to NEVER COMPRESS without any success. The thread just list is still marked as unanswered after a year.

Hi,
As per my knowledge, we need to do some changes in the application server configurations, in your case it is SAP Netweaver 7.01 SP 7 when BOE is deployed to the SAP NW Java server.
Try the below steps and do verify once again whether it resolves the issue:
1.     Launch the Visual Administrator tool.
2.     Connect to the SAP J2EE Engine by clicking Connect -> Login, select the appropriate connection, and click on the Connect button. Enter the password and click on the Connect button.
3.     Navigate to the HTTP Provider service by going to the Cluster tab, expanding Server, expanding Services, and clicking on HTTP Provider.
4.     On the right side of the screen, click on the Properties tab.
5.     Click on the AlwaysCompressed key. At the bottom of the screen in the Value field, remove "text/html" (without the quotes). Click on Update.
6.     Click on the NeverCompressed key. At the bottom of the screen in the Value field, add "text/html" (without the quotes). Click on Update.
7.     At the top of the screen, click on the Save Properties button.
8.     Restart the NetWeaver server.

Home Sharing: Apps are not shown

Hello,
I have 2 Macs at home and I use home sharing with iTunes 9.1.1. I enabled Home Sharing: Musics, films,... are shown. But:
- Apps are not shown in the list
- No 'Import' or 'Settings' button is shown in the bottom-right corner of iTunes (as described in the article http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3819).
Do you have an idea how I can fix that?
Thanks and best regards,
Eric

what does the icon of the shared library look like ?
this means, home sharing is not set up
this means, home sharing is set up but the shared library is not connected
if you see this , you should also see all the content in the shared library.
