Home Sharing with Ethernet
Hi guys,
I have enabled Home Sharing on both my Macbook and iMac (iMac being the 'master', so to speak). I can get the sharing to work through Wi-fi, but the process is likely to take a very long time. I have transferred files via Ethernet before, but iTunes doesn't seem to recognise the Ethernet connection as soon as I disable Airport on both machines (Infact, HS disappears when I switch off Airport).
I wondered whether there was an alternative method of forcing iTunes to use Ethernet, as opposed to Wi-Fi?
The Ethernet cable works because I transferred other files to my Mac using Cmd+K.
Any help appreciated!
Hello,
Thanks for responding. I have a standard Ethernet cable, and I know it works because I have used the same computers to transfer files via Ethernet before.
Can I only do this if I connect them through the router? I am trying to do a computer-computer ethernet connection (both computers connected wirelessly to the internet).
Thanks again!

I'm trying to use home sharing with the latest iTunes update. Keep getting error message 5506-any idea how to resolve this error and share at home?
Well, I tried a few other things and one worked but again just the first time I tried connecting to the desktop PC with iTunes. I flashed my router with the latest update and the ATV2 could see the iTunes library and I was able to play media. Later in the day I was going to show off to my daughter that I had fixed it and, to my dismay, no go. I tried opening the suggested ports but no luck.
I then tried loading iTunes on a Win7 laptop and it works perfectly with the ATV2. Both the laptop and the ATV2 are connected to the router wirelessly while the Desktop is connected to the router by Ethernet. Not sure if this is part of the issue as it sounds like this didn't work for others. The only other difference between the laptop and desktop is that the desktop has Win7 SP1 loaded while the laptop does not; now I'm scarred to load it though I don't think that's the issue. All in all, a very vexing situation. Hopefully Apple comes up with a solution soon. -

Morning Saintine,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Home Sharing enables you to stream or transfer music, movies, TV shows, apps, and more among up to five authorized computers in your household. To do so, you will need to Turn on Home Sharing on each computer using the same Apple ID.

Would like to share music with someone. Currently the computer registered with the iPad is out of commission. But since you can pretty much do everything on the iPad another computer was not purchased. How can I utilize home sharing with out two computers?
You don't. Otherwise they would have called it Device sharing.

Internet connection drops when I use Home Sharing with my iPod Touch
Hi,
I have two PCs (Windows 7 and Windows Vista) both with iTunes 10.2.1 and an iPod Touch with iOS 4.3.1.
When I use iTunes' Home Sharing with my iPod Touch, that is, I stream music, podcasts, etc from either one of my PC computers to my iPod Touch, a few minutes later both laptops, as well as my iPod Touch, lose Internet connectivity. While home sharing continues, Internet connection is lost. I have to unplug my modem and wireless router to get back my Internet connection. The problem, however, recurs again and again.
Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.
DaveI am having the same problem. My MacBook, iPad, iPhone, and even the PC all lose internet connectivity;but home sharing still continues to function properly on ATV2.
I'm not too savvy on routers and modems, but could the problem be my router's capacity? -

Try a search of the forums or the "More Like This" section to the right.
Also might have better luck posting to the Apple TV forum. -
is it possible to set up home sharing with my daughter's laptop - she lives in a different part of the country?
Unfortunately, no. Home sharing only applies to devices sharing the same Wifi network.
iTunes Match is an alternative to look into.

Of course you do because you're no longer on the same network.

Try here:

Also make sure you copy your iPod backup to the new computer. You can find its location here:

Yu really want to move/copy your entire iTunes folder (and subfolders), not just the music. -
Can't access home sharing with current Apple ID info
I can't access Home Sharing with my current Apple ID info. But I can access the discussions forum with my current Apple ID info though. This is very strange. Anyone having this problem? I tried turning on the Home Sharing function in the iTunes Advanced menu, but to no avail because it won't accept my current Apple ID info. I have the ATV2 model.
Message was edited by: Charles SwaimMy ATV 2 can get view movies from Netflix and Youtube without a problem, but when there's a need to use my Apple ID for the Home Sharing function -- from either my Mac or the ATV 2 -- it won't work. It's weird how my Apple ID can access this discussion group without a problem, but can't engage the Home Sharing. I'll see if there's another update available for the ATV 2. Hopefully that might help. Many thanks for trying to help.
