I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers.

Logging into itunes store on each machine wth different Apple IDs is OK Autorising each others machines with the other Apple ID is OK. This is completley separate from Home Sharing
For Home Sharing to work you need to
File > Home Sharing > Create Home Share.
You need to select one of the two Apple IDs you are using and ENTER THIS ON BOTH MACHINES WHEN CREATING THE HOME SHARE.
Home sharing will then work

The remote app can either automatically find libraries available on a network (with home sharing available) or if you haven't got home sharing enabled, you can manually pair an itunes library with the remote app (using a number that is generated by the app and then typed into the itunes library).
That is why I am so confused, as it seems to be the home sharing that is the problem!

Cannot home share the game app purchased at iTunes store. Home sharing music works. Home sharing books works. But, when I try to copy the game app, it says my computer is not authorized. What am I doing wrong?

I've been struggling with a similar issue myself and just figured it out. Some of my content had been purchased with an older Apple ID that I don't use any more. When I authorized my second computer, I only authorized it for my new Apple ID, not my old one. When I tried to copy my library to the new computer, many songs, apps, etc. reported the error "could not be copied because this computer is not authorized". It drove me crazy because I knew the computer was authorized and much of my library came over just fine.
Finally I selected some of the problem items, selected "Get Info" from the menus, and saw that they were all purchased by my old Apple ID. I then authorized my old Apple ID on my new computer, and all of my files are copying correctly now.
Would be great if the message said something like "...because this computer is not authorized for Apple ID [email protected]"

Have upgraded to Snow Leopard. Pages icon still there but wont open, and i cant open my pages docs. Any ideas

Have upgraded to Snow Leopard. Pages icon still on dock but wont open. Also I cant view my documents. Do I have to buy Pages from ITunes? Thankyou

Good, use the disc. Also do the software updates. You can download from here http://www.apple.com/support/pages/
and you don't need the Pages 4.1/ iWork 9.1 I downgraded from iWork 9.1 to iWork 9.0.5.

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.

Have turned Home sharing on in "File", but if I try choose the sharing tab in "Edit", "Preferences", It says Bonjour needs to be activated. Where do I do this?

I'm trying to share my libraries on different PCs. I have turned Home sharing on in "File", but if I try choose the sharing tab in "Edit", "Preferences", It says Bonjour needs to be activated. Where do I do this?

Try updating iTunes on your PC. Hopefully it'll re-install or fix the Bonjour issue.

Photoshop elements 13 and premiere 13 purchased, downloaded and installed... but wont OPEN/LAUNCH.. HELLP!!?

photoshop elements 13 and premiere 13 purchased, downloaded and installed... but wont OPEN/LAUNCH.. HELLP!!?

Hello
My "os" is windows 8.1
When I clicked on the PHOTOSHOP 13 executable the photo editor popped up
along with an install option. Then I clicked install and then a update
failed message popped up. (I've attached a screen shot photo of that) Then
I clicked on error log and a "please quit and try again error code" message
popped up. (I've also attached a screen shot photo of that as well) so
after all that I closed everything and restarted my computer and clicked on
the PHOTOSHOP 13 executable again and it went straight to the photo editor
not the welcome screen (where I can choose either organizer or photo
editor)... why isn't there a welcome screen like before?
When I clicked on the executable for PREMIERE 13 there was two executable
options.. one that was labeled (PREMIERE 13 exe) and another that was
labeled just (PREMIERE exe) without the "13" so first I clicked on PREMIERE
13 exe and it took me to the welcome screen so then I clicked on video
editor the new project but nothing happened. ... the loading bar moves then
stops. So after that I closed it and went back to click the PREMIERE exe
and it took me straight to the video editor, again no welcome screen (were
i can choose either organizer or video editor) just like the photoshop....
so in the end I am able to click on the executable options for both
photoshop 13 and premiere and it takes me straight to the editor but
without the welcome screen...
Clicking on the shortcut icons on my desk top still won't launch though....
So does this mean it's working because clicking on the executable options
takes me straight to the editor? Or is something still not right because
the program won't open/launch when i click on the desktop shortcuts and
welcome screen won't pop up when clicking on executable options?
Thank you so much for replying I really appreciate it

Hi,
can you provide a bit more detail, as can you use the 3G network to access the web, and what security is your wireless using?

HT4352 I'm using the correct APPLE ID and password for Home Sharing on my computer but my AppleTv is not accepting it? What's up with that???

I'm using the correct APPLE ID and password for Home Sharing on my computer but my AppleTv is not accepting it? What's up with that???

I have the exact same issue. I also tried resetting my password. I can log in to iTunes on my laptop with the new password, on to my iPhone iTunes, but my Apple TV says it cannot recognize my password. I just did an Apple Tv software update a few days ago.
I am able to log in to Netflix on my Apple TV just fine. I did not have to re-enter my password for that.
Very frustrating. I hope Apple can figure this out soon and post a fix.
Thanks for any advice. Cheers.

Why does my computer say its connected through wi-fi but wont open a web page, why does my computer say its connected through wi-fi but wont open a web page but will work if im hardwired into the internet

my computer is showing full connection through the airport but wont open any web pages it says it is not connected to the internet... When i hard wire the internet in with the cord it works just fine so i think i somehow messed up or turned of my wi fi capability but i show my airport is on

Your computer is showing it's connected to the Wifi router all right, but perhaps the router isn't connected to the Internet.
If your connecting the Ethernet cable directly to the modem and resetting it, bypassing th erouter and then getting online, fine that's good.
If your connecting to the router directly and getting on the Internet fine, it means the router is connected to the Internet.
If the last one is true then likely what has occured is your DCHP lease is expired because your computer doesn't have the right time and date as the router, it's showing a good signal but your not connecting.
Open System Preference and check the date and time and set it to update to Apple's time server for your location.
Sometimes Apple's time is off, as third party routers get their time elsewhere and sometimes the two don't match and thus DCHP lease is expired.
..WiFi, Internet problems, possible solutions
