Home Sharing shows up in iTunes until I hit Done and then it's gone forever.

My router died a few days ago and I just received my new Aiport Express this morning and my network was up and running in minutes. Unfortunately, Home Sharing (which I really, really hate) is being a pain. I'm trying to get my Apple TV to connect to my iTunes (which worked before, by the way) but it says Home Sharing needs to be enabled.
So, for fun, I disabled it and attempted to login. When I click on Home Sharing, the little house logo shows up in the left column. As I go through logging in, things are fine till I hite DONE and then the house disappears and never returns.
At this point, done the following:
1. rebooted both the router and the modem,
2. disabled and enabled Home Sharing on iTunes and on the Apple TV
3. made a new 'Test' Apple ID which doesn't seem to work properly anywhere so that was a bust.
4. Considered telling Apple to take a flying leap (in less eloquent terms) as this is a stupid waste of time!
5. Checked on both my iPhone 5s and my iPad and there's no sharing showing up. To me, it seems iTunes based.
Why did it work fine before and not now? Why does this have to be so incredibly difficult to set up for something seemingly so easy? What can I do now?
I'm on an iMac (all latest software, etc.), Apple TV Gen. 3.
Thanks,
Michael

Oh... just to make it more bizarre, I have a second iMac and was able to set it up with Home Sharing but since it's not the main computer, I only get Music and Podcasts or something. Still attempting to figure out the other mess though.

  • Ios 8 dictation is correct until I hit "done"

    I've used the dictation feature on my iPad for the past two years, with any app that requires words to be typed.  Since the iOS 8 upgrade, I can see the words while I am dictating them and see that they are correct...until I hit "done."  Then my words or phrases change to something entirely different.  I am wondering if I can turn this feature off.
    I also miss the spaces.  Dictation use to put them in automatically. 

    yes, sorry.  For example, I just dictated an imessage to my husband where I said "my pain PA said she would be in on Tuesday."  I watched the words while they were being dictated and all the words were right.  Then I hit done and got "Mike Payne PA said she would BN on Tuesday."  So the words were correct while they were being dictated but when I hit done to stop dictation, the words changed to something else.  So I guess it's not entirely different but the fact is that my dictation is accurate until I'm through and then it changes.

  • HT3819 Home Share issue: I have a Mac and Apple TV. Both are log into the same Wifi network and the same iTunes account (I can view purchased movies on AppleTV). Home Sharing shows 'ON' for both devices. BUT...AppleTV shows no computers. Itunes sidebar-no

    Has anyone else found solution to Apple devices not 'seeing' each other on Home Share?  I have a Macbook Air (new Nov'12) and Apple TV (new Dec'12). Software updated on both. Both are logged into the same Wifi network and the same iTunes account (I can view movies purchased from iTunes on my AppleTV). Home Sharing shows 'ON' for both devices. BUT...AppleTV shows no computers... and ... Itunes sidebar does not have a 'Shared' area at all.  Help please as without this functionality, my Apple TV only provides portal to purchased (i.e. Netflix,...) content which I can get from Wii or Xbox.
    I have already tried the following without success:
    1. Homeshare DID work the first day after I setup Apple TV... but the next day it has not worked since then.
    2. Powered off 30 sec then re-started (Apple TV & Macbook & iTunes login)
    3. Checked Firewall settings per Home Sharing troubleshooting guide (correct settings)
    4. Turning on Photostream in iPhoto and selecting iPhoto within iTunes and then checking to see if Photostream shows anything on AppleTV (it shows 'on' for my iTunes account but 'Zero' pictures found ... despite the >3,000 pictures showing avail in iTunes).
    I also have 'Remote" app on my iPhone 4, with Home Sharing turned on (same Wifi network)... it has a very similar message as the Apple TV and same result that despite all devices having HomeShare 'on' they cannot see each other:  "Remote will automatically find the iTunes libraries and Apple TVs that have Home Sharing turned on using the account xxxx (it lists my correct itunes account name)."

    I solved this by reset of the Wifi (unplug cable and power to both modem and wifi ... wait 60 sec ... plug in modem cable and power ... plug in wifi power and LAN to modem ... restart AppleTV and Mac ... Turn Home Share 'OFF' in iTunes then back "ON" ... it took ~60 sec for the AppleTV to pick up my Mac in computers.

  • Itunes will not load on my ipad. Icon is there. When I open "Music", it shows itunes with no content briefly and then takes me back to home page. What to do?

    itunes will not load on my ipad. Icon is there. When I open "Music", it shows itunes with no content briefly and then takes me back to home page. What to do?

    Quit the app and restart.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or reset the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Cannot check the box "only allowed paired or home sharing remotes to control itunes"

    I cannot connect my home sharing so I go to Edit>Preferences>Devices>check box only allowed paired or home sharing remotes to control itunes> Then click OK. After that I go to see whether the box is checked or not and I found that it is not checked. I don't know how to deal with it because every time I check the box, it's unchecked so cannot check box only allowed paired or home sharing remotes to control itunes. Is this the problem that causes the home sharing problem?

    Hmmm, sounds weird. If someone else has experienced this maybe they will jump in here, but if not, you can always call Nike+. Surprisingly they answer their phone quite quickly.
    Anyway, here's my shot at it:
    I will assume you have downloaded the Nano updater ( http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/ ).
    I would eject and disconnect the Nano (perhaps restarting my computer) and close iTunes, then reopen iTunes, reconnect and see if the box is available.

  • In updating my iPod to 6.1.2, I received an error during the update.  Now, ipod is not rebooting.  Has screen showing usb to Itunes picture.   Turning off and back on it goes back to this picture.  I don't know how to reset so that I can restore my backup

    In updating my iPod to 6.1.2, I received an error during the update.  Now, my ipod is not rebooting.  It continues to display a screen showing usb to Itunes picture.   Turning off and back on, it goes back to this picture.  I don't know how to reset so that I can restore from my backup.
    A similar thing happened when I updated the ios on my ipad.  But, I was able to reboot, and then restore from backup.   How can I get my ipod to reboot and allow restore when it is not even recognized as I reconnect to my computer?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Your issue is different from the OP's.  In the future, post your own thread to get answer to your specific questions.
    For the OP: Go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock and set it to your preferred time.
    For you: Create a backup and restore the device as new and test it to see if it still gets very hot.

  • My iTouch will not show movies, but they are showing on my iTunes.  When I try and play them through my iTunes it freezes on me and does not work.

    My iTouch will not show movies, but they are showing on my iTunes.  When I try and play them through my iTunes it freezes on me and does not work.  This problem only occurs whenever I am using my netbook.  It doesn't happen when I use a different computer.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and am not sure what else to do from here.

  • Can rent a movie from the iTunes store on my computer, and then stream it to my apple TV (2nd gen)?

    Can rent a movie from the iTunes store on my computer, and then stream it to my apple TV (2nd gen)?

    Thank you alleycat. I have two rental movies in my iTunes library in the rentals section top left of the window that have not been played. I have home sharing turned on on both my apple TV and my Mac. Both machines are completely software updated. I can see all of my owned movies in the Computer>Library>Movies section of the menus, but neither the rentals themselves nor a rental fouler are anywhere to be found on the apple TV. I dropped by the apple store on the way home from work and they suggested that it should be working just as you described, and suggested a restore, which I've performed. Still no rentals from the Mac library are visible on the apple TV. Any ideas?

  • Its out of battery and when i plug it in to charge it will charge until it turns on, and then just stops charging?

    its out of battery and when i plug it in to charge it will charge until it turns on, and then just stops charging?

    Try a resetting of your phone just to cover that base - Hold down Home and Sleep buttons for at least 10 seconds and see if the phone powers up.
    If the phone was completely dead, powering through wall socket is best approach.   I've never been able to charge off of a PC if it was completely dead.
    If all fails, bring the phone in for service since it is still covered by warranty.
