Home sharing not working on new laptop

I purchased a new laptop from best buy for the purpose of using itunes to transfer music to my ipod and ipad. My old laptop stopped working so I bought this one. Now I completed home sharing and I can't see any music from iTunes that I have purchased. Plus best buy told me that I can't sync ipad to laptop or I will lose all music on ipad. They are telling me I need my old laptop that doesn't work. Help

I have this same problem. It works flawlessly from the laptop but the desktop doesn't work.

Home sharing not working (iOS 6, iPad 3 and iTunes 10.7)

Trying to stream video from iMac to iPad via home sharing no longer works since iOS 6 upgrade. Video app on iPad sees the library but gets stuck connecting to it. Music app says "unable to turn on home sharing".
I've tried restarting iTunes, turning off home sharing (and on again) and rebooting iPad, all to no avail.
Don't want to go to the trouble of downgrading but need this to work!
Poor form to release broken software after making such a song and dance about how great it would be. (See also: Maps).

I had the exact same problem with the iPad Music app. However, the Remote app works fine:

Cannot get Home Sharing to work on my iPad, iPad 2 or Apple TV 2

I am running iTunes on a network-connected Windows PC and I have authorized the PC and turned on Home Sharing. I cannot see my shared library on my iPad, iPad 2 or Apple TV 2.
In fact, in the left navigation pane in iTunes, I don't see the "Home Sharing" section.
I have applied all the latest updates to Windows and iTunes as well as iOS for the iPads and Apple TV. I am running Microsoft Security Essentials software. I tried disabling the firewall and it still did not work.
I tried doing as much as applicable from this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972 and I am not getting anywhere.
Any help is appreciated.

I am having the same problems with Home Sharing using the Apple TV. The problems seemed to appears to have started within the last week or so. Did updates and all. Went to the Apple TV and it couldn't see either Home Share on either computers that Home Share is turned ON. Reset the routers, reinstalled iTunes on the iMac and MacBookPro. Created a second Wi-Fi Access point using a Airport Express. Put the MacBookPro and TimeCapsule on the same network and still no love to see the Home Share contents.
We have had both Mac's and Apple TV for several years and have never had any problems like this.

TS2972 HOME SHARING WONT WORK WITH ITUNES 12

I CANT ANYMORE
My OS is Windows 7
My iOS device: iPad 7.1.1
My iTunes Version: 12
AND I've tried by all means to use home sharing with the Remote app, but it doesn't work at all.
So please HELP ME

I have had this same problem since I upgraded to version 11 of iTunes. I just found today that if you go into Preferences (under the Edit menu in Windows or under File on Mac OS) there is a Sharing tab that was turned off. As soon as I checked the box in front of "Share my library on my local network" and the checkbox in front of "Home Sharing computers and devices update play counts" (I don't know if this second checkbox has to be checked or not) and restarted iTunes on each computer it began to work again.
I have no idea why Apple decided to have this turned off by default in version 11+ as I had it working fine prior to upgrading. I also have no idea why Apple makes no mention of the need to go into the Preferences and make sure Sharing is enabled. I have found no mention of it in any home sharing documentation...

HT3819 Home Sharing stopped working on my iPad and iPhone

My iTunes is installed on a Windows 7 computer and is connected to a linksys switch that is connected to a wireless linksys router.
My iPads and iPhones are connected to the wireless router.
They are unable to connect to the Home Share even after signing off of Home Share and then logging back in.
When you open the Videos app on iPad or iPhone it says "No Videos" and does not seem to be attempting to find any content on the network.
This was working earlier in the day yesterday but has stopped for some reason.
I have an AppleTV 3 and another iPad that are working just fine and are able to see and play Music/Videos/Movies... just fine.
Thanks in advance for your help!
JT

Just to provide more information:
I have recently DeAuthorized all computers and then authorized the computer that I am trying to home share with. That didn't help at all.
I only have one computer Authorized now and 2 iOS devises authorized.
The AppleTV 3 is connected to the same linksys switch as the iTunes computer. It is able to see the Home Share and play Music/Videos/Movies...
The working iPad is connected to the same linksys wireless router that the linksys switch is connected to.
It is able to see the Home Share and play Music/Videos/Movies...
All my other iOS devises are having issues.

Home sharing wont work!

Hello,
I am trying to home share between a Mac and PC. I have gone through all the steps over and over. The PC can see and access the Mac's library. The Mac can see the PC's library, but when I click on it to transfer or accsess it the toolbar keeps moving and it ends up freezing, or just continuing to do nothing but move,if that makes sense. I don't get any error messages. The PC library is large, but from what I have read that should not be an issue? PLEASE someone save me from this ongoing battle.
Thanks
(I posted this to the Itunes forum with no response)

IPad home sharing stopped working w/ ios7

Home sharing on my iPad just hangs.
I have a large video library, so it took awhile to load it under ios6, but now it has stopped working altogether. The little wheel just keeps spinning around and around, then after about 5 minutes the video app crashes. There's some Quality Apple Software™ for you...
I've tried logging out of home sharing & logging back in; power cycling all devices, etc. I'm pretty sure the problem isn't with iTunes, because my Apple TV is loading up the entire video library in a matter of just a few seconds.
Is there ANYTHING I can do to get home sharing to work on this iPad 3?

I am having this exact same issue on an iPAd 2 and iPad mini in videos. I also have this issue in Music on a 4s. After many attempts, turning on/off home sharing in itunes, rebooting, and esetting the entire network settings in the 4s, because Messages wasn't sending.. The 4s is finally filling in the circle as it tries to connect. I have a large video and audio library (Apple's seen a lot of income from me), but the 20min to load n the 4s is absurd.
Still can't get Video to connect to home sharing on either iPad. I've been trying many times for this 'magic' attempt to happen, but so far no luck. Very frustraed right now.

My home sharing stopped working on my iphone, ipad and apple tv

Hi, my remote app to use home sharing stopped working on my iphone, ipad, and apple tv, have tried turning the windows firewall off but still does not work?

make sure the computer firewall or router does not block the shared lib feature

After installing ios 5, home sharing stopped working with iPad 2

After I've installed iOS 5, Home sharing stopped playing on my iPad 2.
I can SEE the content but the movies app simply hangs when I try playing it.
I can still play the content on an iPad 1 though..
Has anyone encountered something like that before?
P.S.
Using iTunes 10.5 on a PC running windows 7

After installling iOS5 the Videos App on my iPad2 takes forever to start films and TV shows from home sharing, if at all. I get a black screen after starting the film which can last between 10 seconds and a few minutes.
I've also noticed that I can't get the status of the film (volume, time etc.) to show when tapping the screen.
On top of all that, after having solved the issue with the TV shows being doubled and tripled up, I've noticed that the covers for movies are often on the wrong film.
Help!! Please!!

Home Sharing not working between wireless PC's / devices and ethernet wired PC's on the same router.

Home Sharing is not working between wireless PC's / devices and ethernet wired PC's on the same router. I installed a new Verizon FIOS ActionTec MI424WR GigE wireless / ethernet router, replacing the original FIOS router. With the old router Home Sharing worked fine across and among all iOS and Windows wired and wireless devices. With the new router Home Sharing works between and among the Wired PC's but not between the wired PC's and the Wireless connected PC's or iOS devices. Home Sharing also works between and among the wireless connected PC's and iOS decices but not between them and the wired PC's.
Only the router was changed. No changes were made to any of the devices except all were updated with the latest version of iTunes 10.7.0.21 and the iSO devices were updated to iOS vrsion 6.01. Three PC's are wired and all are running Windows 7. There also is a Windows Home Server connected to the router by ethernet port. It does not run iTunes but does provide WebDAV services to my iOS devices. This works fine. Two PC's are wireless, one running Windows 7 and one running Windows 8. All of the PC's are connected to the same (new) router via it's ethernet ports and it's wireless access point. Two of the wired PC's are connected via a high-speed ethernet hup that is connected to the router (Home Sharing works fine between the two PC's on the hub and the PC on the router). All wired and wireless devices on the router are visible and members of the router's Home/Office virtual network.
All of the PC's are visible in the Windows network and all shared files are accessable from all PC's, both wired and wireless.
Obviously the router seems to be the issue, something between the ethernet and the wireless access point components. I checked the settings and found nothing that would prevent Home Sharing between the wired and wireless devices. There is no setting that isolates the wireless network. I have done the following:
Read the router user manual and checked all the settings
Rebooted the router and tested.
Turned off the router's firewall and tested.
Home Sharing is turned on all the devices and all use the same Apple ID.
Restarted iTunes and tested.
Verified iTunes is "Allowed" in each PC's firewall.
Again, I can Home Share between the two wireless PC's but not between either of the wireless PC's and any of the wired PC's. I can Home Share between my iPads and iPhones and either of the two wireless PC's but not with any of the wired PC's. I can Home Share between any of the wired PC's but not between any wired PC and a wireless PC or iOS device.
I hope someone may have had a similar problem and has a fix suggestion. I'm stumped! I have a;so contacked ActionTec and awaiting an answer.

Solution from ActionTec is:
Log into your router.
Click the Advanced icon
Cclick Yes
Click on the IGMP Proxy
Select Disable
Click Apply
