Home sharing only visible one way

Hi, i have a desktop running on xp where most of my itunes songs are stored. i have set up home sharing on two laptops running vista and it works fine. However, on the 3rd laptop (also vista), i am having problems. The desktop can see the 3rd laptop library, but the laptop can not see the desktop library. I have tried switching home sharing on and off on both computers and both are logged into the same account. All computers use kaspersky internet security. I have tried turning this off on the laptop, but still could not see the desktop library. Any suggestions?

Screen sharing only in one way

Hi, I'm doing screen sharing everyday -mostly for helping other with their macs- with no problem but with one person (an uncle of mine).
He uses a new 20" iMac (the late one), we can text chat, videoconferencing, audioconferencing and screen sharing in one way, I can let him control my mac but it's impossible to let me control his Mac.
The fourth button in ichat (where to ask for permission or give permission to screen sharing) is half enable, only one of the options is enabled to click on, the option for "ask for screen sharing" isn't. So I can give him permission to control my mac but not to control his mac.
How can this be possible? I asume screen sharing works in the same protocols in both ways, above all when we can do video and audio conferencing.
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Ralph,
When you have ticked the screen sharing option in iChat>video>screen sharing and your buddy "high lights" (one click) your screen name the screen sharing icon will be displayed in black on his end indicating "enabled".
This way he can ask for your permission to share your screen.
When your contact has not ticked the screen sharing option the screen sharing icon in your contact list will be grey.
When your contact has ticked the screen sharing option as well the screen sharing icon in your contact list will be black as well.
Of course all other requirements for iChat screen sharing have to be met.
More important: I wish you a very happy new year!

2 atv's both have home sharing enabled but one asks to turn on home sharing on my pc but it is on so can only use one at a time to watch movies from my computer

2 atv's both have home sharing enabled but one asks to turn on home sharing on my pc, but it is enabled on pc so I can only use one at a time to watch movies from my computer

Both atv,s are on the same network, they are wirless and the computer can see them and they are named different.
what ever one i switch on first gets to stream from my computer and the other one asks for home sharing to be switched on, then if i switch both off and start the other one first it gets to stream and the other one which worked asks for home sharing to be turned on. i have hidden all functionality, netflix etc as these are for my 7yr old kids.

Traffic only allowed one-way for VPN connected computers

Hello,
I currently have an ASA 5505. I have set it up as a remote access SSL VPN. My computers can connect to the VPN just fine. They just can't access the internal LAN (192.168.250.0). They can't ping the inside interface of the ASA, or any of the machines. It seems like all traffic is blocked for them. The strange thing is that when someone is connected to the VPN, I can ping that VPN-connect machine from the ASA and other machines inside the LAN. It seems the traffic only allows one way. I have messed with ACL's with no avail. Any suggestions please?

Hello,
I seem to be having the same kind of issue although I cannot ping from either end.
Ive set up a l2tp/ipsec vpn which I am able to connect to and get ip from my ip pool (radius authentication is working).
I tried running:
access-list NAT_0 permit ip 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0
nat (inside) 0 access-list NAT_0
but i get an error msg saying that the syntax of the nat command is deprecated. Im running ASA version 8.4.
Ive fiddled around abit to find the correct syntax but have been unsuccessfull so far.
Any help would be much appreciated

Does Home Sharing only work over wi-fi?

This may seem like an odd question, but I think it may be the root of my problem. I have a network that uses three Devolo mains network extenders in various rooms (the house has very thick walls). All three Devolo mains plugs connect (via the ring main) to the router. An iMac, laptops, an Apple TV, iPhones, etc each connect wirelessly to these very happily.
However, no two computers (say an MBA and an iMac) in the same room, or different rooms, can 'see' the other in the normal way - i.e. by having the other device appear in the left hand pane of the finder window. They can, however, if I enter the IP address of the other machine manually. So this is irritating but not insurmountable.
What does appear insurountable though is that, in a similar way, iTunes cannot 'see' any shared libraries across the network. Because of the issue described above, I had assumed that both problems were probably being caused by some sort of issue with the way the Devolo boxes are configured. But then I realised that, even though each device is connecting wirelessly to the Devolo boxes, I don't actually have a wi-fi network in the same sense that I would if I had an Airport-based system...and if Home Sharing only works over wi-fi, this might explain why it doesn't work for me.
Apologies for the rambling question, but given the increasing popularity of these mains network-extender boxes, I feel I can't be alone in experiencing these issues. Can anyone shed any light?

The quick answer to your question is no, for example Home Sharing works over Ethernet as well. Strictly speaking Wi-Fi is not required and iTunes doesn't care either way.
However, I understand that the Devolo mains adapters have problems coping with this. If I had to guess, the problem might be an inability to carry the required bandwidth. The reason for this is that Airtunes is fairly demanding of bandwidth and if your wireless network's performance is degraded due to any number of variables, Airtunes is the first to suffer.
You didn't say what kind of computer or OS you are using but Home Sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP ports 123 and 5353 to communicate with shared iTunes libraries. Those ports need to be configured in whatever firewall or security settings you may be using. If you are certain you have those ports open on your shared computers then concentrate on the Devolo adapters. Perhaps they are in need of a firmware update or modification of some configuration setting.

Screen will only flip one way

I need help!!!
My screen will only flip one way and when I flip it the other way it will not flip. Can anyone help with the this? I tried googling the problem, but didn't come up with a solution. I made sure that my screen isn't locked as well.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Ralph,
When you have ticked the screen sharing option in iChat>video>screen sharing and your buddy "high lights" (one click) your screen name the screen sharing icon will be displayed in black on his end indicating "enabled".
This way he can ask for your permission to share your screen.
When your contact has not ticked the screen sharing option the screen sharing icon in your contact list will be grey.
When your contact has ticked the screen sharing option as well the screen sharing icon in your contact list will be black as well.
Of course all other requirements for iChat screen sharing have to be met.

I added a contact to my iphone 4s and when I did a sync manually it is not showing up on my MAC in address book - please help....I checked off sync all contacts in iTunes - does it only work one way from computer to phone?

Is it because the new itunes looks different.

Then it should work just the same as on your old computer.

What are the limitations of AMS5 only allowing one-way broadcast for the video capture support?

I am interested in a tool that can access a clients webcam and begin recording from their device. When the time is up, it should store that recorded video to a server. Then, of course, the files can be accessed. Streaming is of less significance than simply capturing and accessing video from a client
Can I do this with only Adobe Media Server Standard Edition?
Bearing in mind, I may need to be capturing video from multiple clients at one time. Is this limited by the fact that Standard only allows "one-way broadcasts?"
Thanks,
Carl

Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried using DVCPRO HD in the past, but the picture quality of the captured screen footage turns out blurry. The only codecs I've found that provide a perfectly clear image are H264, Animation and Uncompressed 8-bit. The problem with the latter two is that video files lasting only a few seconds measure in the 100s of MBs. Working with files that large would slow my editing and rendering down to a non-workable length.
I just don't understand why I can't edit H264 video if my sequence codec is set to H264. The 'Codec error' I get is baffling.

Does home sharing only work if you're connected to the wi-fi?

Does home sharing only work if you're connected to the wi-fi? Im having very sporadic results with this. I thought Apple products worked. Home sharing is not working from my windows operating system to my iPhone 4S nor my iPad.

Lightning Connector Only Works One Way

I have two lightning connector cables, and the new 30 pin to lightning adapter, all direct from Apple.
I've found that if I plug them in one way, my iPhone won't charge, but, if I plug it in the other way, they work.
It'sprobably a software issue, as the pins aren't being reassigned. I found that if I have the plug in, and it's not working, I can restart my iPhone 5, and the cable will begin working for this orientation, but not the other way.
I've seen others mentioning this issue, but haven't found a solution yet. I've tried a hard and soft reset so far, and all that does is set the pins to work for one direction on the cable, not both.

I recently tried resetting all my settings. This did not work either.
The cable may appear to be charging, but no juice is flowing. If I reverse the cable, however, it starts charging.
I can't be the only one with this issue, as it appears to be firmware related. There's a chance it's hardware related, but my iPhone was working fine for weeks, with all cables. Now, all my "reversible" lightning cables only work one way.

Apple Tv no photos. Home sharing only lasts for one session

My Apple Tv only shares photos for a while then my computers name disappears from head list I can only access Music after subscribing to I match and using I cloud. Have tried some ideas suggested by others with similar problems; and 4 calls with Apple TV support culminated in in 2 responses "we are not trained to assist with entering access ports in port forwarding. " Try calling BT re your home hub. Bt check out all ok with set up . Final response from Apple support "must be your Dell computer (only one year old and all is well!! Other people seem to feel abandoned by Apple. I had a response to an email as a last resort which was full of meaning less platitudes and attached 3 links to Apple support pages. Have now spent about 30 hours on this and next step is return to Amazon to see if they will exchange or refund. I do thinkl that Apple tv is a great concept. Why is it the Itunes store and paid for purchase areas always work fine. Am I being uinkind? If not please let me know of same problem and any fix that works because I am pretty fed up with it.

Home sharing only sharing SOME apps

Hi all,
I recently started using Home Sharing to share libraries across three machines in our home network, and just noticed that not all of the apps can be shared.
First off, this is not a "how do I enable home sharing" post! I got Home Sharing up and running successfully across all three machines in the house (or so I thought). All three are running iTunes 9.2 and OS 10.6.4, and all are logged into Home Sharing using the same account info.
Machine A currently has 45 iPhone apps in its library. Home Sharing is setup with machine B's account info, but B is authorized to use A's music and apps. When I look at A's library from B, I only see a list of 39 apps available. (That's with "show all items" selected, not just "show items not in my library".) So why the missing 6? I'm unable to see any pattern to the six that don't appear. (It's always the same six, I just don't see anything in common across the set of six.)
I tried turning off Home Sharing and quitting iTunes across all machines. I restarted iTunes and this time set up Home Sharing using A's account across all machines. From A, when I try to drag one of the 6 "missing" apps to B's library (Vector Tanks, for example), it won't let me -- the red "1" icon indicating that I'm dragging one item doesn't find a "home" in B's library.
I'd be grateful for suggestions!
Thanks,
Brad

Home sharing really does seem to be a bit flakey. I've been digging around a little. As you;ve probably already read, there are two files in your iTunes library. One ends in .itl and the other .xml. The .xml is human readable. The /itl file contains details of all your songs and playlists according to the Apple site. But it looks to be in binary as there is nothing in ASCII that I can see. The .xml file IS written in ASCII and so readbale by us humans. According to the Apple website, it contains similar information to the .itl file but the webopage does not say where it is different.
Anyway, I created a new iTunes library and gradually added a few CDs to see what happened in the .xml file. My reason? Well, like you, my iPod Touch does not show up all the artists. It drops some. Out of four artists I can see 3. It is weird. I started off with the blank library and added a CD of Berlioz. The iPod Touch showed up Berlioz as the artist (I should add that I use the Artist data field for composer since Apple, in their infinite wisdom, decreed one could not search on composer. So one entry in the library and it was visible on the iPod.
Import a second CD . Berlioz disappears and the new composer is visible. In fact, this CD has three composers on it. All three are visible. Import a third CD - again Berlioz - and Berlioz still does not appear. The music is there in the Album listing but not in the artist.
As I said, HomeSahring is flakey.

Home Sharing only HD TV shows. Possible?

I have a large (800GB+) iTunes library on one dedicated Mac mini. I have another, older Mac mini hooked up to one of my TVs as a makeshift AppleTV (my AppleTV video card died of heat failure - white spots). Since the older Mac mini only has a 250GB hard drive space is at a premium and when I transfer TV shows over via Home Sharing I tend to manually go through and delete the (unused) standard definition copy of the shows to save a little space. This is time consuming and wasteful (network time, hard drive read/writes, my time) and I'm wondering if I'm missing a setting.
For shows that I want to move to the smaller Mac mini is there a way to tell Home Sharing to only move the HD and not the SD version of the show? It seems like this should be there somewhere but I'm not seeing it and I'm not seeing much discussion about it anywhere.
As it is now, when a new episode comes out it is automatically downloaded on my main library and then through Home Sharing HD and SD get transferred to my current media library. I then have to remember to go hunt up the shows that still have the SD version and delete all of them (sometimes freeing me up 4 or 5 GB a week).
Thanks for any help or advice.

I experienced the same problem trying to stream TV shows to my iPad via Home Sharing. I found iTunes didn't download the SD version of the TV shows when I purchased the HD version, so I downloaded all the SD versions by unchecking the "Download HD When Available" checkbox under iTunes "Purchased" section. Now my iPad can stream all of the TV shows. My AppleTV was already able to stream all the HD versions normally. I do have a few home movies which have buggy artwork, but I think that is fixable by updating metadata, etc...
