Hello,
You can also fix this problem by following some step:
* Open the '''firefox''' in '''safe-mode'''.
* ''' Check every option''',by default everything is checked.
* Now you can''' close the safe-mode & open firefox.'''

When i copy songs with home sharing it shows it copying but doesn't show up in the library

When I copy songs with home sharing it shows it copying but doesn't show up in the library. What should I do ?

Hi adtsalmon,
You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

Hope this helps!

Is there any way to disable Home Sharing on all computers at one time? I've put Home Sharing on 5 computers already, and I don't have one of the computers anymore.

Why won't the Home Sharing tab show up on either of my computers?

I have turned on Home Sharing on both my laptop and home computer under the same username, but the tab disappears after I hit "Done." I have read over a number of troubleshooting suggestions and then tried them (including restarting my computers and reopening iTunes), but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions as to what I should do to resolve this problem?

HT202213 Home Sharing not showing in Windows 7

Hi, trying to set up home sharing. Have followed all the steps in setting it up but icon does not show up in the side bar or drop down menu. Have also gone to file - home sharing - turn on etc ....Any suggestions???

Howdy Jst Eph Oph,
It sounds like you have done the appropriate troubleshooting from the proper article for the Home Sharing function not appearing in the File menu of iTunes. I would next verify the version number of iTunes that is opening when you launch iTunes.
iTunes: How to find which version you are using
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1208
If it is other than 11.1.3 I would try running software update, or reinstalling iTunes from the download page here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
I was also thinking if the software is up to date, and you have re installed it but the version number is still not current, I would check the /Applications folder for mutliple copies of iTunes or launch it from there.
I would also check for 3rd party plugins that may be interfering with iTunes functions if the verison number is correct.

I'm afraid that the Mac will need to be on (and awake and with iTunes running) for you to stream from it to the iPhone via Home Sharing.

Home Sharing wont play videos since OSX upgrade to 10.9.3

Ever since I upgraded my iMac to OSX 10.9.3 home sharing hasnt worked properly on any of my devices for video streaming.
I have my iTunes library on my iMac harddisk and prior to the update I was able to play any video content (Movies, TV Shows and Home Movies) on any of my iOS devices in my home: Apple TV2, iPad1, iPad2, iPad Air, iPhone 4S *2.
last week I applied the software updares for OSX and iTunes and sice then I have not been able to play any video content on home sharing!
Mostly the library loads fine, but sometimes the artwork isnt displayed. When I tried to load any of the video content it just never loads an eventuall times out.
Has anyone got any ideas? I have done all of the usual resets and reboots to no avail.

Home sharing drops out about once an hour

Hi I have a brand new, week old 3rd Gen Rev A Apple TV and about once an hour the home sharing drops out stopping whatever we are watching.
Router is a netgear cg814wg v3 located about 15-20 metres away from the Apple TV, Computer is running iTunes 11.4.0.18.

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
The following article(s) may help you.

Recommended Wi-Fi settings

Home sharing wont let me click the import button when I try to import songs from one computer to another.

I can see the import button but it wont let me click on it.

The above article did not help me, I was having the same issue. The import button was "greyed out". But this article did help...mostly:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
I successfully moved my music from my old computer running Windows XP to a laptop running Windows 7. I could never get the import button to be "active" but I randomly tried selecting all the music I could view from my old computer on the new computer using Home Sharing and dragging it to Library on the new computer. It immediately starting copying the files, and then, and only then, the Import button became "active" i.e. not greyed out. But I did not need to click on it at that point because the files were being copied to the Library of the new computer.
I then followed the article I mention above to get my playlists transferred as well. All is good after a very frustrating morning of research. There are many posts on forums about the "greyed out" issue; none of the answers I could find worked for me. This did. 3,000 songs and all in their proper playlists!

HT3819 sometimes my home sharing doesnt show in the tool bar?

I am not very good with computors, I am trying to sync my iphone to a new laptop with home sharing, sometimes the home sharing toolbar doesnt show?
I cant seem to do the latest update on my phone on my main PC for some reason, it updates for about 1 hour and then just cuts off? I was going to try and do the update from my laptop but cant get the information from my PC onto it before doing the update?
Can anyone give me advice?, my last update did not include the cloud sevice so I am not backed up on the cloud!

goto the finder menu->finder-> preferences. Click on the "sidebar" tab and make sure that "connected servers" and "bonjour computers" boxes are checked. This will enable "Sharing" section in Finder sidebar. Mind you, it will only show up if there is anything to share. If not you won't see it.
