Home sharing not showing on iPhone or ipad

Hey
My iPad and iPhone can't see the shared library. The iPad could see it for about 3 mins and the lost it and not able to find it again. The iPhone has never found it.
iTunes is upto date and iOS on both are upto date. Using a Cisco router with sky broadband running windows 7.

Your Cisco router is the problem. I was having download speed issues with my Netgear cable modem, so I had called my ISP. They replaced the Netgear with a Cisco DPC 3825. That solved the speed issue, but I could no longer connect iTunes on my Mac to my Airport Express or my Apple TV. The other Apple TV internet-based functions (Netflix, the iTunes Stores etc) worked fine.
I called the cable company again and asked for another modem/router (anything but a Cisco or Netgear). They installed a Motorola. Everything started working properly again. There is an issue with the Cisco DPC 3825, it blocks all devices that you might use to connect to the media on your computer. This includes not just Apple products, but xBox, and Sony Play Station.
Get a different modem/router from your ISP.

Home Sharing not seen by iPhone or ATV 3rd Gen

I ran in to this problem before with Home Sharing not being seen by mt ATV 3rd Gen or any iPhone in my household when I upgraded iTunes back in Feb. The solution I found before was in my firewall rules (I believe) for my AV software (I also made changes to Windows Firewall even though it is disabled). I updated iTunes to 12.2.1.27 last night and the problem has returned.
iTunes is signed in and Home Sharing is on. ATV is also signed in and HS is on. My iPhone 6+ can connect to my ATV. I signed all devices out and turned off HS then signed back in a turned HS on with no resolution. I followed Apples directions for removing Apple software in order, then re installed the older version of iTunes that I had saved. Still no luck. I have disabled the firewalls in my router as well as my AV firewall and Windows Firewall is always disabled. I have tried the iTunes "Run as Administrator" solution others have suggested with no luck as well.
It seems like Bonjour is simply not doing what it is supposed to.

GO to programs and feature in your control panel, select bonjour and click the repair button to reinstall it, reboot the pc and if your firewalls on check to make sure bonjour is still on the list. Start iTunes back up and everything should Be working again. I did this yesterday to solve this problem after updating. If things still don't work try restoring windows firewall to default settings to clear the allowed list, then repair bonjour, reboot, re ad Apple software to the firewall list and start up iTunes. I have to do this everyte iTunes updates And it always works for me.

ITunes Home Sharing not showing up on my iPhone 4

I have enable Home Sharing on iTunes on my Mac, I have also enabled it on my iPhone settings by entering my apple id and password -- However, when I go into the ipod on the iphone, in the "more" section, it doesn't show "shared". I've sync my phone over and over as well as reset it and still nada.
Could you please tell me if I'm doing something wrong?

On my Verizon iPhone the "more" section, it doesn't show "shared". I've rebooted, system update for iTunes, Snow Leopard on MacBook Pro 2008
I can see Home Sharing in my iTunes list: while on the MBP I can see my iMac i5 27"... but no Home Sharing on iPhone/iPod/more...
I manually sync my music on my iPhone from my MacBook Pro, which does not have my new music on it. But all I can do to get the new songs onto the iPhone is to use Home Sharing to make DUPLICATES on the Macbook Pro of the songs that are on the iMac. I dont' want dupes. I don't want all my songs on my Laptop. I want all my songs on my iMac which has a huge new empty harddrive.
I wouldn't mind if it is Apple working through some glitches and it will work in a few days/weeks, especially if Apple posted some message. I hate wasting time thinking I'm troubleshooting wrong, only to give up hours later, since I see others also have this problem.

Albums created on mac not showing on iphone or ipad

I created an album on my mac photo app. How do I get this album to appear on my iphone and ipad? Upload to my photo stream and icloud photo library are active on all of my devices.

Currently both are active. I don't want to have all of my photos on the icloud. So should I only be using "icloud photo sharing"?
I created an album on my iphone and this album shows up on my ipad and macbook pro. However, I created another album on my macbook and this new album doesn't show up on either my iphone or ipad.
These albums are not shared albums...they are only albums for me. Isn't "icloud photo sharing" different from the albums I speaking about? My understandind is "icloud photo sharing" is for sharing my albums with friends and family.
Thanks for your help

Photos in pdf documents not showing on iPhone or iPad

I notice that when I create a PDF document on my iMac that includes photos and some grpahics work, when I go to view the document on my iPhone 4, iPhone 3 or iPad that about 80% of the photos do not show even though they look fine on the iMac... Why is this?

Home Sharing: Music App on iPhone and iPad skips from track to track without playing.

Home Sharing is working from my iMac, OSX 10.9.3, iTunes 11.2.2(3) to my AppleTV, 6.1.1. I can see my iTunes library and play/view music, video and photos. No problems.
I have problems when trying to do the same on my iPhone and iPad.
Using the Music app on my iPhone 4, iOS 7.1.1 I frequently have to re-connect to my iTunes library. However nothing will play in any mode. It just skips from one tune to the next right through to the end of the list without playing any of them.
Using the Music app on my iPad 2, iOS 7.1.1 connecting to my iTunes library is more reliable. Single tunes play through, albums & playlists play through all tunes in sequence. However if I select shuffle then it just skips from one tune to the next right through to the end of the list without playing any of them.
I have only tried sharing to my iPhone/iPad in the last few days so I have no experience of doing this on previous versions.

Today
Music on iPad does not even give me the Sharing option.
Music on iPhone offers Sharing and does indeed connect to my iTunes library. It has all my albums on display. Whoopee you think, is ths a breakthrough? Unfortunately, NO. Play any album and it just skips from one tune to the next right through to the end of the list without playing any of them.
Please bear in mind that no infrastructure has changed during these posts. Same network, hardware and software.
Conclusion:
Home Sharing is useless except between iMac and AppleTV.
Is there anyone out there in Apple land who can convince me otherwise?

HT202213 Home Sharing not showing in Windows 7

Hi, trying to set up home sharing. Have followed all the steps in setting it up but icon does not show up in the side bar or drop down menu. Have also gone to file - home sharing - turn on etc ....Any suggestions???

Howdy Jst Eph Oph,
It sounds like you have done the appropriate troubleshooting from the proper article for the Home Sharing function not appearing in the File menu of iTunes. I would next verify the version number of iTunes that is opening when you launch iTunes.

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1208
If it is other than 11.1.3 I would try running software update, or reinstalling iTunes from the download page here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
I was also thinking if the software is up to date, and you have re installed it but the version number is still not current, I would check the /Applications folder for mutliple copies of iTunes or launch it from there.
I would also check for 3rd party plugins that may be interfering with iTunes functions if the verison number is correct.

Maiden name field in contacts not showing on iPhone or iPad or iCloud

I've changed my contacts template, on my iMac, to include the "maiden name" field, years ago... And to this date that field STILL does not show on my other Apple devices; iPhone or iPad or iCloud. Am I missing something or does Apple continue to not include some of THEIR "Std" fields on the ios devices or on iCloud?

I just talked to Apple Support, after upgrading to ios7...and testing more with the maiden name field...
There reply was that the "Mainden Name" field is unique to OS X Contacts, and is no plans to bring it forward. I also just noticed that if a edit a contact that has this field on ios7 (the field doesn't show) and it syncs back via iCloud to my iMac...it wipes out the maiden name info!!!
I did notice that the new ios7/iCloud have several new/additional "relationship" fields, ie Spouse (which has been there) but now Mother, Father, etc....
Sooo... I guess I'll use the Father field to hold the maiden name info... works for me... :-)

Home Sharing Not Working With iPhone Over Network

Hey,
I'm new to this whole support thing so I'll do my best to explain the issue!
On both iTunes and my iPhone 4s, I have turned on Home Sharing using the same Apple ID. Both are also connected to the same network which is my home wi-fi. I can't seem to connect no matter how hard I try. music won't stream from my pc to my phone and I can't use the app called Remote, an app that lets me control iTunes. I have even gone as far as to mess with my firewall where I allowed two new rules that had the ports Remote uses.
If anyone can spread some light on this shinanigan, I will be sooooo happy!
Thanks in advance!

...And that didn't work either.

Im having trouble home sharing between my imac and iphone4,both seem to be turned on but home sharing not showing up on itunes side menu`?

Can anybody help please?

Hopefully, one of these two suggestions will get it back.
Either quit iTunes and launch it again or restart the entire computer. It's amazing how many times a simple restart can solve a problem. Hopefully it does for you.

New events on Outlook 2010 not syncing with Iphone and Ipad

I have gone through the nonsensical uninstall/reinstall every 5 restars. This time my new events or contacts on Outlook do not show on iPhone or Ipad. There is also a new confirguration where the Outlook does not separate the iCloud calendar from Outlook calendar but lists them all, then iCloud as a separate box at the bottom. I've tried dragging to that box with no success. I make about 50 appointments and reminders to my calendar each week and use all devices whether in the office or out. How dare Apple not fix this known issue.

I just looked at topic called "Outlook 2010 - Outlook does not sync with iPhone / iTunes and used the fix suggested in that string of posts. It appears to have worked!!! My happy camper.

ITunes to iPad Home Sharing not syncing all music

I have a new iPad (the one just released; iPad 4?) and an older MacBook (about 3 years old or so). When I open iTunes and set up Home Sharing on the MacBook, then open the Music app on my iPad and enable Home Sharing, not all of my music shows up. Some of it (around 10% maybe) appears. It seems to be a random selection.
Anyone know what might be going on here?
Thanks
-Zack

I find the home sharing can be a little finicky at times. Reboot the ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
Rebooting your macbook might work as well.
Rebooting the wifi router by unplugging it for 5-10 minutes.

My home sharing is on on my Mac ,iPad and iPhone but I can't steel connect to my apple tv

Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.

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.

I am trying to read my iMessages from my iPhone 4S on my iPad 2, but the messages do not show up on my iPad 2. I made sure that the receiving email address is the same on both devices and both are signed into my single Apple account.

Is it possible that the person who sent the message to your phone sent it to your phone # instead? Try sending a message to your phone via the email address and see if it shows up on the iPad.
