Home sharing refusing to show library!!!

I have my Home sharing enabled through my apple ID on my mothers computer and mine, on my mothers computer i am able to see my library however on my laptop it refuses to load my mothers library. I have perfect internet connection. Please help me

That's what I like to see an optimist..
First I would try switching off Home Sharing on each machine and then switching it back on. I had to do this when iupgraded my wifes iMAc and my laptop to itunes 11
If that does not do the trick here are the other troubleshooting steps

I just got a MacBook Pro and I used Home Sharing to transfer my library from my PC. However, my PC's battery died in the middle of the process so only half of my music was transferred. The sharing option no longer shows up on the left. How do I fix this?

I just got a MacBook Pro and I used Home Sharing to transfer my library from my PC. However, my PC's battery died in the middle of the process so only half of my music was transferred. The sharing option no longer shows up on the left. Do I need to start completely over and delete the content in my new library to prevent duplicates or is there a way to continue the process?

Home shared computor not showing in library

Home sharing computor not showing up in the side library menu even though both e-mails and passwords are the same and home sharing shows on?

Are you positive your product ID in Foilo Producer and the product ID in Apple match?
Did you specify the shared secret for your iTunes account in the account settings for your Adobe publication account?

Home sharing no longer shows up on my macbook pro iTunes.

Home sharing no longer shows up on my macbook pro iTunes. Our main computer is a Dell desktop that is authorized for home sharing. My macbook has also turned on home sharing, but the home computer does not show up. How exactly does home sharing work? Must you be in the same area to be able to use this feature or connected to the same network?

you will need both computer have itunes turned on and you will need a wifi for them to work.

All of a sudden my home sharing computer is showing up multiple times on my apple TV. When I go into the home sharing selection my computer shows up 2-3 times. It is now happening on both my 2nd and 3rd gen Apple TV. Does anyone else have this? How do I fix this? Thanks!

Weird. Restart everything including your router.

That means that you have to connect your iPad to your computer and you need to use iTunes to restore the iOS. Software. Read this for the instructions.

Home sharing isn't showing up on my iPhone 4s

As the title suggests...
I've setup homesharing as every guide I have ever read says to. However the step where I go to more tab on the music app on my phone, there is no shared option. I've turned the phone off and on, made sure the app was closed properly, and nothing.
Do I need to set up a library to share first? All the videos seemed to have a library in the shared tab in itunes. I can't find a way to do this, as the sharing options in preferences just say either share selected playlists, or my entire library.
Any help would be appreciated.

You also need to setup home sharing on the iTunes library from where you will be streaming the content. You should use the same ID as what is used on your iOS device.

Can itune home sharing support slide show from 3 or more apple tvs simoutaneously ?

Can itune home sharing support slides show from 3 or more apple tvs simoutaneously ?

In theory yes provided your network is up to it - more likely to be stable on a wired connection.

Home sharing doesn't show up in music

I last used home sharing about a week ago, and I decided to play my library threw my ipad and it has decided to not show my home sharing in the music app. My home sharing works perfictly in the remote app. I dont know if whats up and I dont personaly know any one with an ipad, for help.

I understand. When you home share using the iPad, you are able to play the music (or videos using the videos app) on you iPad directly. The sound will come through the iPad and the video appear on the iPad. The remote app is exactly what it sounds like it would be - a remote control to play the music library on the computer. The sound goes through the computer, not the iPad.
Did you turn on Home Sharing on the PC? In iTunes on the PC - Did you go to Edit>Preferences>Sharing>Share my library on my local network>Share Entire Library?
Maybe these will help.

IPhone Home Sharing Music not showing in iTunes

Hi All,
I have successfully set up Home Sharing on two separate iPhones using the same Apple ID and on my MacBook Air iTunes. I can view and play the Air's music library on both of the iPhones. However, in iTunes on the MacBook Air, the iPhones are not showing up under Shared. Actually, the "Shared" category is not showing up at all. Is there some reason the iPhone music libraries are not on the iTunes on the MacBook Air. How can I fix this?
Recap:
Home sharing set up on 2 iPhone and on laptop
iPhone can play laptop music as shared
iTunes on laptop does not show iPhone music libraries
iTunes on laptop does not show "Shared" at all.
Thanks!

Installing iTunes and logging in with an Apple ID has never caused content to magically appear.
The content is only where you put it.
Copy it from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer.

HT202213 I have only allowed two playlists to be home shared but my whole library is being shared? Help?

I am setting up Home Sharing on my kids computers and on my computer have selected to only share their playlists. However on one of my kids computers it is showing the entire library.
Can anyone help?

The way home sharing works is your entire library is shared. You can consider Windows sharing options If you put music in your public folder on Windows, your kids will access those files and be able to drag those over and import in itunes.

5 apple tvs home sharing the same itunes library on minimac, does it work?

hi everyone,
I have 5 apple tv and 1 macmini with my itunes library (music and movies).
is it possible to turn on home sharing in all of them in order to share the macmini library ???
I'm suspicious that it works just for 4 apple tvs, not for 5.... is that correct?
thanks in advance,
nicola.

Using Home Sharing to transfer itunes library from old computer to new but connection keeps timing out...anyone have a solution?

Hello everyone,
I am attempting to use Home Sharing to import my itunes library from my old computer to new (as per instructions on this site), but the connection keeps "timing out" and so the import gets cut short.
Both computers have the new itunes (I updated them last night), but only seem to get about 5 minutes (or 100 songs in) before the connection error occurs.
I have an external hard drive and would use it to transfer my library (which is ~45GB) however my old computer isn't recognizing the hard drive so I thought Home Sharing was a good option...perhaps I was wrong?
Help Please!
Thanks

You might need to make sure neither is going to sleep (System Prefs > Energy Saver)
Also check your settings under System Prefs > Security. My sisters new laptop kept logging off due to some setting there.

Home Sharing - can't see library on PC from Mac

I've searched through other threads and have not found a simple explanation for this problem. I have a Windows PC (running Vista) with iTunes 11.0.2 and have a MacBook Pro with the same version of iTunes. I have setup my home sharing and am able to see my Mac library on my PC BUT can't see my PC library on my Mac. I have played with the firewall settings and tried turning the home sharing on and off on both machnes. Nothing!
Does anybody have a simple solution?
Greg

If you go to 'my computer', your ipod should be listed there (when its plugged in). If you click on it there is a path to all of the photos on your ipod. All you have to do then is copy them all and paste them in the 'my pictures' part of your computer. You can then do with them as you please. hope this was helpful
