Home Sharing on 2 iPhones does not work.
I have updated both of my iPhone 4 to firmware 4.3.3 recently and I have enabled the Home Sharing feature in my iTunes 10.2 on a windows 7.
Then I added my AppleID in both iPhones under Settings/iPod (the same AppleID used in the Home Sharing of iTunes) but it appears that only 1 iPhone can stream at a time.
I am saying that because when I first access my shared library from the first iPhone, it plays the song without issue.
But when I tried to access the shared library from the second iPhone, the first iPhone stopped playing the song and it can't stream the playlist anymore and the connection to the playlist of the second iPhone also got disconnected and it cannot find the shared library as well.
Then I need to power cycle the first iPhone to be able to reconnect back to the shared library.
I get the same result with many attempts.
Is there anyone who can share some ideas here?
Thank you in advance!
By your description, it sounds like you were trying to access your library via Remote, which can only be used to access a source on a 1:1 basis for streaming. In other words, you can't use Remote on both iPhones to connect to the same library.
If you want to simultaneously stream your iTunes library to two iPhones, you need to initiate playback from your iTunes library (not your iPhones) and select your iPhones as AirPlay devices. See the AirPlay icon in the lower-right corner of iTunes.
Alternatively, if you have a third device (e.g. an iPad or Touch) you could use the Remote app to initiate playback on your iTunes library and select your iPhones as AirPlay devices. But I'm pretty sure that you can't use Remote on your iPhone while simultaneously streaming to it from your iTunes library via AirPlay.

On the slowness...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free Disk space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?

Home Sharing with Apple TV does not work
Home sharing is turned on for both iTunes and Apple TV. Yet no files are synced to Apple TV from iTunes. I have tried turning Home Sharing off and on both devices several times. I have also re-installed iTunes.
If on wifi try ethernet
Go to netstumbler or similar and get a network report, look for signal strength and noise
Make sure port 123 is open on router (refer to manual if unsure) -
The speaker on my iphone does not work
iPhone 4S with iOS 5.1.1.
The sound on my iphone does not work, does not the music, or applications or ringtones ... It only works when you are using headphones.
The iPhone did not fall, got wet or struck.
I was listening to music through the speaker and suddenly stopped working.
Already restored it and still does not work.Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.
If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit -

HT1689 My itunes store app on my iphone does not work.
My itunes store app on my iphone does not work. It flashes on, then immediately off and back to the homepage. What is the solution? Can I de/re-install? I'm not sure how to do that since no "X" shows up in the top right corner anymore....
Hi mixterart,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If you're not able to access the iTunes Store app try restarting/resetting the iPhone:

HT204158 the home button on my ipad2 does not work
Ipad2 home button does not work. Can't do a reset because home button does not work. Help?
Try this calibration procedure:
Open a stock iOS app (e.g., Clock). Once the app is open, press your iPad’s power button until the ‘slide to power off’ screen appears. From that screen, press and hold your Home button until iOS force quits the stock app you have open. You’re done! -
IPhone does not work in car after upgrading to os5
After upgrading to os5 my build in hands free device does not work properly anymore, lot of noise, disconnects, connects in general not usable anymore.
How to fix this?Does your aftermarket solution connect to the Nano's headphone jack or to the dock connector?
If it connects to the headphone jack I would suggest buying an iPhone headphone adapter. I'm expecting mine to arrive via FedEx tomorrow so that I can use my iPhone in the car with a cassette adapter.
Hope this helps. -
I have set up my laptop for home sharing but my Mac does not appear?
I just purchased a HP laptop for work purposes and didn't want to put too many personal files on it, including music.
I thought I could use home sharing instead but it isn't working?
On my iMac, I have turned on home sharing and when my brother's Macbook is connected to the same WiFi, it let's me open up his library and play his muic on my iMac. I thought it would work the same way on my laptop.
So I've switched on Home Sharing on my laptop and connected it to WiFi but neither my iMac nor my brother's Macbook appears on the sidebar where it normally appears on my iMac. What do I have to do? Am I using the right feature? (home sharing)
Thanks in advance for any helpHello Rahim.Alrai
The first thing is to make sure that you are using the same Apple ID on your HP laptop as the same one on the iMac and your brother’s computer. If all is good there, then check out the second article to troubleshoot the issue further.

For some reason my passwrod on my iPhone is not working and now I am locked out. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to rest the passcode during this process:
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
