Home sharing not available after wireless router upgrade

I just upgraded from a wireless N router to a faster, dual band N router. For some reason  I cannot access my shared music collection over my network when going through the new wirless N router. My cable modem also has an N router--things work as they should if I tap into that one. The computer on which my music library resides is connected via ethernet to the cable modem/router. Is there a setting on the new router that would cause this problem?
Thx

UPDATE: after  web search and digging deeper into Apple communities on this subject, I've come to the conclusion that the dual band router I was trying to implement (Belkin 750) is NOT compatible with Airport Expresses. One post I saw claimed that it wasn't Lion-friendly either. As an Apple user, I would STAY AWAY FROM THIS ROUTER. Odd because the Belkin nRouter I had before worked fine in the identical network setup. I was hoping the dual band would be an easy transition.

  • Home Sharing not working between wireless PC's / devices and ethernet wired PC's on the same router.

    Home Sharing is not working between wireless PC's / devices and ethernet wired PC's on the same router.  I installed a new Verizon FIOS ActionTec  MI424WR GigE wireless / ethernet router, replacing the original FIOS router.  With the old router Home Sharing worked fine across and among all iOS and Windows wired and wireless devices.  With the new router Home Sharing works between and among the Wired PC's but not between the wired PC's and the Wireless connected PC's or iOS devices.  Home Sharing also works between and among the wireless connected PC's and iOS decices but not between them and the wired PC's.
    Only the router was changed.  No changes were made to any of the devices except all were updated with the latest version of iTunes 10.7.0.21 and the iSO devices were updated to iOS vrsion 6.01.  Three PC's are wired and all are running Windows 7.  There also is a Windows Home Server connected to the router by ethernet port.  It does not run iTunes but does provide WebDAV services to my iOS devices.  This works fine.  Two PC's are wireless, one running Windows 7 and one running Windows 8.  All of the PC's are connected to the same (new) router via it's ethernet ports and it's wireless access point.  Two of the wired PC's are connected via a high-speed  ethernet hup that is connected to the router (Home Sharing works fine between the two PC's on the hub and the PC on the router).  All wired and wireless devices on the router are visible and members of the router's Home/Office virtual network.
    All of the PC's are visible in the Windows network and all shared files are accessable from all PC's, both wired and wireless.
    Obviously the router seems to be the issue, something between the ethernet and the wireless access point components.  I checked the settings and found nothing that would prevent Home Sharing between the wired and wireless devices.  There is no setting that isolates the wireless network.  I have done the following:
    Read the router user manual and checked all the settings
    Rebooted the router and tested.
    Turned off the router's firewall and tested.
    Home Sharing is turned on all the devices and all use the same Apple ID.
    Restarted iTunes and tested.
    Verified iTunes is "Allowed" in each PC's firewall.
    Again, I can Home Share between the two wireless PC's but not between either of the wireless PC's and any of the wired PC's.  I can Home Share between my iPads and iPhones and either of the two wireless PC's but not with any of the wired PC's.  I can Home Share between any of the wired PC's but not between any wired PC and a wireless PC or iOS device.
    I hope someone may have had a similar problem and has a fix suggestion.  I'm stumped!  I have a;so contacked ActionTec and awaiting an answer.

    Solution from ActionTec is:
    Log into your router.
    Click the Advanced icon
    Cclick Yes
    Click on the IGMP Proxy
    Select Disable
    Click Apply

  • Home sharing stops working with Apple TV after about one hour.. Apple TV drops my MAC and says Home Sharing not available.

    Hey there, Ihave the latest firmware update on my Apple TV 2. I have Lion with latest updates installed.
    I have home sharing turned on in iTunes 10 no issues their
    Network is set up as such.. Apple TV hardwired with Ethernet Cable, MAC where iTunes resides is WiFi on a dual band wireless N network. No dropped connections, network showing in perfect connected status.. All other home networking functions working perfectly. No wireless or ethernet disruptions.
    Apple TV works perfect for about one hour then all of a sudden stops and says home sharing is turned off.. but it's not. Double checked iTunes on the MAC, home sharing still set up no issues. I restart iTunes.. does not help, reboot MAC does not help. Reset Apple TV doesn't help.
    About an hour later, home sharing shows up in Apple TV again..
    Anyone else experience this? Any thoughts as to why Home Sharing on the Apple TV stops by itself when no changes are occuring?

  • Home sharing not working after update to iTunes 12.1

    recenty updated iTunes to 12.1.0.71 64 bit for windows 8.1, and home sharing no longer works with my apple tvs. i have an apple tv 2 with software 7.0.3(6917) and an apple tv 3 aalso on 7.0.3(6917). I have tried the usual troubleshooting. Restoring, restarting, reinstalling itunes, made sure all the neccessary ports are open both on my router and firewall. Still not working. I would appreciate any help.

    I have similar issue and already opened another thread for it...no reply so far. So I'll give it a try in here.
    I'm using a Mac Mini (Mid 2010) with 4GB RAM, Yosemite 10.10.2.
    The Mac is connected by cable to a Gbit Ethernet network switch.
    I hope the following drawing helps to understand the network environment:
    Mac <--> Switch_1 <--> Switch_2 <--> Fire TV
             Switch_1 <--> WLAN Router AVM Fritz!Box 7270 <--> 30MBit Internet connection
    The Mac and the Fire TV (running AirPlay server App) are both connected by Ethernet cable, but to different switches.
    No WLAN enabled on Fire TV.
    The WLAN router is the DHCP server.
    For sure the remote App is running on an iPad (2) which is using WLAN.
    All network addresses are in same network and were provided by same DHCP server (running on WLAN router).
    All my music and internet radio is coming from the Mac.
    I use remote app (latest version from Appstore) on the iPad to connect to iTunes 12.0.1.26 running on my Mac.
    In iTunes I selected the Fire TV as AirPlay receiver.
    Fire TV is playing all music through my AV receiver.
    This is working perfectly fine except one issue which exists since update to Yosemite 10.10.0.
    It remained same with Yosemite 10.10.1 and 10.10.2.
    My problem is that I need to enable WLAN (wireless) on my Mac since update to Yosemite.
    When I disable WLAN remote app does not find my media library anymore and iTunes is unable to connect to the Fire TV.
    When I re-enable WLAN, everything is working fine again.
    Remember, all devices except the iPad are on a cabled 1Gbit Ethernet.
    Before updating to Yosemite I did not need WLAN.
    Any idea what's causing this? IP traffic routing issue?
    Usually, when I disable WLAN on the Mac, it continues to run for 1 or 2 days where the iPad has no problem to find and connect to the media library.
    After a while. running with WLAN disabled, my iPad is not able to "see" the iTunes media library asking me to enable home sharing.
    When I check on my Mac, home sharing is enabled.
    I then disable and re-enabled home sharing in iTunes and after doing so my iPads is able to "see" the iTunes media library but it cannot connect to it.
    I checked routing and arp tables on the Mac but everything looked fine, routing through the Ethernet interface.
    I used "fing" on the iPad to see which devices are online and "fing" on my iPad was only aware of the Mac Ethernet interface. No entry for the disabled Mac WLAN interface.
    I checked on the WLAN router and ensured that both Mac interfaces have unique host names (aliases) on the router.
    To be sure everything is refreshed I rebooted the router.
    No change, my iPad was able to find the iTunes media library through home sharing but was unable to connect to that media library.
    So I enabled WLAN on the Mac and immediately my iPad could connect to the iTunes media library.
    Weird...
    Only mitigation I found so far is to re-enable the WLAN on the Mac.
    So I assume something is broken in Yosemite / iTunes 12 home sharing.

  • Home sharing not working after iTunes 11 update

    Hi everyone,
    after updating to iTunes 11 on our Macs OS X 10.6.8 and OS X 10.8.2 our home sharing doesn't work anymore. We have tried to turn home sharing off and set it up again several times, but no shared devices or accounts appear in the library menu. Does anyone know how to fix this problem without going back to iTunes 10.7.? Thanks for your help!!!
    MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8) & MacBook Pro, OS X (10.8.2)

    Also, the reason I posted a fresh question is due to the issue of the "fix" I see folks posting. This is not a fix. When an update forces me to remove security or privacy it is called a problem / bug ... especially since it worked fine before.
    Maybe it is intentional maybe not, but if the only solution is to remove my privacy barriers then I guess it is time to get rid of ATV and move away from apple.
    Somebody tell me I am wrong or how to fix without having to get into my modem or firewall.

  • Home sharing not working after update to latest version of itunes

    Prior to the latest update I was able to properly share items across Home Sharing from my main computer to the laptop and back.  Now after updating to the newest version on all there is no longer the option to download items acoss into the other machine on my home network. 
    I am looking for a solution or a update to fix this as I like being able to pull items from the home system into my MacBook Pro for travel viewing.

    Not using anything on my MacBook Pro like Norton.  I have replicated the issue on a XP machine, Win 7, and Snowleopard installed Hackintosh (yeah I did bad things to a Dell netbook) and none of them can do the importing like they were able to prior to this new version.
    Home Sharing works in that I can see the files but can no lonnger import them like you could before this lateset update. So Norton or the port change has nothing to do with it best of my knowledge.  It looks like Apple needs to fix this in a update to iTunes (and fast) .

  • Home sharing not responding after last update in ATV2 and 3

              I used to watch my itunes library content with home sharing in my ATV's with no problem, listen music, watch movies, etc, but since last ATV update I can't access to my Itunes library (home sharing), I followed and read twice your troubleshooting articles, and nothing happened. I'm in the same wifi, same Apple ID in Itunes, ATV's and in my iphone Remote app, I can use the airplay with no issues, but not directly from the ATV home sharing, message in the ATV: "Could not connect to (my library), Make sure, blah blah blah...". I have that latest versions of itunes, ATV, Iphone IOS, etc, I read all your blogs and nothing seem to be working. Hope anybody can have some answers. I try in both ATV2 and 3 with same results.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Have you tried restarting the router.

  • Why is home sharing not available on my iTunes?

    I have logged into my apple id for both computers that i want to have home sharing on. However only one of the two computers has access to the other itunes library. What do i do so both of my computers can have acces to both itunes libraries?

    When you say 'logged into my Apple ID', do you mean you turned on Home Sharing by going to File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing?
    If you turn on HS for both machines on the same network, you should see your library on both machines.

  • Home sharing not working through wireless

    I have a D-Link DIR - 855L router and my Library will not display on my wireless devices (A Roku soundbridge and a Grace Digital Mondo(.  If I connect wired to my network I can see the Library on both devices.  I have upnp enabled and Multicast streams.  I have turned media sharing on in Windows 7 and both devices are listed on my network when they are connected through wifi.  I have also tried manually forwarding the iTunes ports and reserving IP addresses for all devices.

    I have the same issue - can use AirPlay with wired devices - wireless is hit or miss; mostly miss... Using Netgear WNDR3700v2. Did you fix the issue?
    Anyone else has any advice?

  • Ringtones and background images not available after call manager upgrade

    Hi,
          We have upgraded our call manager from version 8.5 to 10.5.  Once after the upgrade we lost all the Ringtones and background images except the two default ringtone and background images.  we got 8945 sccp phones(running 9-3-1 firmware) and 9951 sip phones(running 9-4-1 firmware).  Both these phones lost these list.  However the ringlist.xml is available in the tftp server with all the ringtones and the phones are pointed to the right tftp servers.  I tried to restart the tftp servers and tried again, however that didn't help.   we are using call manager 10.5 and h323 voice gateway.  Could anyone please help on this.
    Thanks
    Barry

    Hi Tony,
         I can see the ringtone files in the call manager (osadmin>tftp file mgmt), i have also restarted the tftp services, but it didn't help.  I believe you advised to re-upload the ringlist file (Ringlist.xml) and try again. I will try this and update you.  Please let me know if you have any other suggestions.
    Thanks

  • Does Home Sharing not work through a network extender?

    Home sharing seems to cut out whenever I get into range of my network extender (Airport Express).
    Here's my setup, it's pretty standard: Cable modem wired to Airport Extreme router, which is connected wirelessly to the MBP with my iTunes hard drive. All of this is in my living room.
    I use the Airport Express to extend my network into the bedrooms.
    Whenever I'm home sharing from my iTunes library on my iPhone, if I walk to my bedroom, it cuts out. It usually crashes the iPod app. If it doesn't completely crash it, I can get it to restart buffering if I walk back to the living room.
    Does Home Sharing not work with wireless extenders? Do I have to change something in the set up?

    However, when a device goes from being attached to one wireless device to another, there is often an interruption as the device must change the radio connection to the network. There is a brief period of no connectivity (a second or two)
    Try starting the share while in your bedroom instead of the living room. I'll bet it works.
    Makes sense - so it's a bug in the iPhone OS, that it's unable to recover from temporary interruptions to wifi connection?
    However, I'm not so sure. Starting the share in the bedroom works as you suggest (since 4.3.2 - didn't under 4.3.1) - but as soon as you go back to the living room and the iPhone connects to a different base station the music stops playing. Note also that the shared library itself ceases to work. So for example you can't be in one room (on the extender) and add the shared library (without actually playing anything yet) then move to another room (on the base station) and play a track from the shared library. It just plays dead and you have to explicitly reload the shared library to get anything to play.
    So is it maybe a bug also with iTunes that it can't keep up with a shared library client moving from one wifi station to another?
    How do you report these things to the people that matter by the way?

  • Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5

    Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5.Please help!!!!!!!!

    It seems that settings of mail accounts have something to do with it. I've delete my gmail account and am now using Microsoft Exchange. It seems better, yet not perfect. The issue is definitely due to OS 4.3.1
    Apple answer is - no answer. It is a shame that the quality of their products, in terms of design and concept, is not match by a care for customers. It is not normal that I, as a customer, have to spend hours reading Apple Discussions forum to try to understand what the problem is. A little more respect for a customer that spend big $$$ buying their products wouldn't hurt.

  • IPhone Home Button not working after upgrade to ios 5.1.1

    Hey everyone,
    I'm pretty sure this is a software failure due to the symtoms the iPhone is showing;
    0 - the home button does not work at all when the phone is turned on and running ios 5.1.1, well it used to work okay when i had ios 5.0.1, I upgraded to 5.1.0 and started working randomly, upgraded to 5.1.1 to see if it was fixed with no luck at all.
    1 - When locked the screen does sometime light up, like when you press the home button and don't slide the unlock button. but it does not exit apps anytime, I mean it doesn't act like it's pressing the home button randomly but only when the phone is locked.
    2- The button does work perfectly when iOS is not running: I can get in and get out of recovery and dfu mode at will, that wouldn't be possible if the button were broke.
    3- what else? Oh yea, not really a symtom: Tried the 'home button calibration' several times.
    4 - It's not filthy, since I really cleaned it thoroughly with a powerful tiny nozed air blower I got and gave a rubbing alcohol treatment too.
    5 - when I shut the phone down it instantly turns back on, I can interrupt the turning on for turning the phone into dfu mode (i'm sure It's in DFU mode because the tinyumbrella log monitor tells me)
    I'm now using the 'soft' home button that goes in the accesibility options, but hey, I didn't pay a ton of money for a phone that the same Apple is gonna break down.
    It's out of warranty and I don't have apple stores where I live.
    I'd downgrade to 5.0.1 in a snap if I could but I'm not into jailbreaking, so the shsh blob thingie is not a possibility.
    Any apple dev around that can give me a workaround?
    thanks a lot in advance
    Added more info ~ 

    I had the same problem with Home button not responding after upgrading from iOS 5.1 to iOS 5.1.1 on an iPhone4.   I solved it but not sure exactly what fixed it.   Here is what I did.
    1.  Took it local Apple store Genius appointment.   They used a special tool and took some lint out of the connector opening.   The Home button started working.   They said even though the phone was out of warranty, I could buy a new replacement one without a contract for $150. 
    2.   The Home button stopped working when I got home.   I got some compressed air in a can and blew the air through the connector to try and clean out more dust.   I now keep the phone with the connector opening facing down in my pocket.   I also struck the phone downward on my hand or other soft surface to force as much dust out as possible.
    3.  The Home button still was intermittent.  I then tried to do a hard reset by holding the power on key and the Home button simultaneously for about 10 seconds.  This doesn't work if the Home button doesn't respond.
    4.  I connected the iphone to Itunes via the USB to sync the phone.  While connected, I did a Hard Reset by Holding the Power button and Home button simultaneously.  I noticed the Home button responded better when connected to ITUNES via the USB.
    5.  I did a backup of the iphone4 by highlighting the iphone 4 while connected to ITunes and right mouse click and selecting BACKUP.    I was prepared to reset my phone4 in iTUNES and restore it from the backup.
    The phone worked consistently before I had to do this.
    6.  As a last resort which I didn't need to do, I was going to copy all my settings for the iphone by selecting the phone in iTUNES and looking at all the sync settings.   I would then have restored the iphone to original factory settings and then sync the phone using the copied settings.  This would have made sure that the backup didn't include the bug.
    Fortunately, I didn't have to do step 5 and 6.   Things started working after Step 4.  So I don't really know if it was the iOS 5.1.1 upgrade or pure coincidence that the Home button stopped working immediately after the upgrade.

  • Is anyone having trouble with the "home" button not responding after upgrading to 5.1.1 OS?

    Is anyone having problems with the "home" button not responding after upgrading to 5.1.1?

    You will not belive how I accidently solved this - !!!
    Yes I had the problem immediately after the 5.1.1 'cloud' upgrade, the problems started (on my iphone 4) ... I followed the 'get power down button, then hold HOME for 30 secs' solution, but no result, nothing seemed to work and I was starting to get a bit agressive with the keep it pushed, multiple double click frustrations, icopybot multigesture solutions etc. and paid money ... but this comedy solution now works ...
    I discovered it because I ordered a waterproof case for my iphone for my motorcycle ... I've just fitted it to my iphone and all the problems have gone ??? what! ... so wondering why I looked at what the home button on the casing was doing - it was pressing ACROSS the home button i.e. it converted my finger point into a wider 'PRESS
    so taking the new case off, instead of using the point of my thumb to press HOME, I used the flat of my thumb to emulate it ....and initially nothing, so I wondered if it wa making better 'cross button' contacts, so I licked my thumb, wiped it and then tried again! - it worked!
    I can't explain it but it seems to work - try it! if the double click on HOME doesn't work lick your thumb dry it and try again! I've just done it again
    what a mad techno world we live in! :-)
