Home sharing works okay for iPad 2 and iPod Touch 4, but Touch 5 only shares music??

So, just like I said. What is going on?
iTunes library is on a Windows 7 PC. all my devices are logged into the same Apple ID for homesharing. Windows 7 laptop can share everything, iPad 2 can share everything, iPod Touch 4 can share everything... but iPod Touch 5 only shares music. The video app only shows the videos that are synced onto the iPod. doesn't have the 'more' tab to select the shared library like it's supposed to.
I just hooked up a new linksys router. I don't know if the issue was going on before and I never noticed, or if it's new with the router. But the fact that it works with all but this one device makes me think it isn't the router setup.

Nvm. Disabled my firewall to my avail. Thanks for everyone.

I have an iPod Classic. I think it is a 5th generation. I would like to know if I can download games from the App store that say they are for iPads, iPhones, and iPod Touch. Will these work on my iPod Classic?

TS2972 I have turned on Home Sharing on my sister's HP and my MacBook Pro but there is no share section on either of our iTunes. Where did the share option go?

I am trying to use the Home Sharing capabilities on my MacBook and my sister's HP Envy. I have turned Home Sharing both On and Off via Advance in the drop down from the top menu. When I turn Home Sharing Off then back On, it asks me for the Apple ID so I provide the same one on both then it tells me a little blurb about Home Sharing and I hit Done then the Share section on the left side of iTunes disappears. Where does it go and how do I make it come back? Thanks for yor help!

Have you worked through all the troubleshooting steps in the document from which the question was posted? If not... go back and work through all the troubleshooting steps.

Hello,
My name Christine Bergeron and i'm 14 years old i just got the iPad 2. I also just recently got the new MacBook Air 13-inch about a week and a half ago- two weeks. I tried syncing my iPod Touch 4g to my laptop but only 3 apps come up out of like 80 something and when i try to sync them it says it will replace the apps on my laptop (the 3 apps) with those 3. i'm also trying to do the same with my iPad but i don't want to loose everything. iTunes also downloads like half of my music and i don't know how to get the rest. Help!!!!
Thanks,
Christine Bergeron

Encoding home videos for IPhone, AppleTV and IPod Touch

Hi Folks,
I'm on latest version of Compressor and FCP.
Objective: to encode home video transfers to a format that is suitable for AppleTV, IPhone and Ipod Touch - in an efficient manner (this is key)
99% of the videos would be VHS and camcorder tapes in SD format.
I mentioned efficient manner b/c I tried running and Iphone encode through the presets in Compressor for a 2 hour VHS transfer - nothing fancy, just 12 chapters. I'm on my 2009 quad mac pro with 8 GBs RAM.
The estimator through the 'share' feature said it was going to take over 3 hours before I quit. The other reason I quit is b/c it won't be compatible with AppleTV.
I created DVDs for my client so I tried handbrake using the video_Ts folder and it created an IPhone/IPod Touch file no problem - only 40 minutes. Not bad. I tried the Universal preset and QT gives me an error that the finalized file isn't compatible.
I guess my question is: does it matter quality wise, if I run through Handbrake vs compressor? For this particular client, there are 12 hours worth of videos to compress.
I know about setting up a cluster on my mac pro, but everytime I try more than 1 file in a batch, the subsequent files fail. I can't even set a cluster up with my 2006 mac pro either - yes, I've had discussions with FCP support staff and have tickets. It's a bug
So, any thoughts? 3 hours (at a minimum) seems awfully long to compress.
Of course, I would be charging my client for these videos, but at that length of time, I'm not sure what a feasible cost would be for both sides.
Cheers,
keebler

If you are send out self contained movies to be processed in Compressor with Standard Presets (no adjustment to frame controls) you should be getting decent speed. If you want I can try encoding a two hour DV clip. How far did the encoding get before you stopped it? The estimates are not necessarily accurate at the beginning.
Also if you can get the Clusters working (disregarding the size of the batches for a moment) should help with speed. I run into limits of around 20 per batch so make multiple batches. Not the most optimal way, but could be worth it to get them all going. Set them up for overnight and it should be done in the AM.
Creating off the Video_TS folder is compressing compressed material, so it could (should) reduce quality when compared to encoding original source material, though based on the quality of the source it may be more academic...
I would try to get the Compressor end working myself. (Ignore using share, just open Compressor and put movies into it.)

My ical in my Macbook Pro is not in sync with my Ipad 2 and Ipod touch. What can I do?

Please help,
Every time I use my Ipad 2 or my Ipod Touch to enter an event or an appointment to my ical, either one of them will show the event or appointment as soon as they are connected over WiFi. The same event will not show up in my ical in my MacBook Pro. I tried to sync them and nothing. I double check to make sure all the features in all 3 (MacBook Pro, Ipad 2 and Ipod Touch) are set with the same features and nothing. My ical in my MackBook Pro will not sync with the events in my Ipad 2 or my ipod Touch. Now, if I type the event in my MacBook Pro ical, and sync my Ipad 2 and Ipod Touch, then I have the events or appointments are recorded. But, many times, I do not carry my MacBook Pro with me, and I missed an appointment for example. Does anyone know how to solve this problem. Thank you.

Greetings,
Questions:
1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
3. Do you use MobileMe/ iCloud or another server based sync solution like Google or Yahoo?
4. Do other changes to synced information like Address Book content sync successfully back and forth?
Based on your description it sounds like you have a 1 way sync issue. Events sync fine between the iOS devices and fine from the computer to the iOS devices but not from the iOS devices to the computer.
Try:
Backup your computer and iOS devices before doing anything else:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Ensure all the devices in use are fully up to date: Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update
Make separate backups of critical data:

Can I use an iPad, iPad mini and iPod touch on the same apple account?

Can I use an iPad, iPad Mini and iPod touch on the same account? Is there a limit to how many devices I can use?

When you turn on your iDevice for the first time just sign in with the same Apple ID and you can download any apps you have purchased in the past! There shouldn't be a limit to how many devices you can use.

Can you transfer hd video directly from an ipod and then EDIT that video in imovie? I will be on the road and wont have a mac, just an ipad 2 and ipod touch. I want to shoot video on the touch and edit it on the ipad. Thanks!

Thanks Tgara.
Its funny. So far the responses have been 50/50 on this question. I even asked two seperate Apple Store employees here in NYC, and got two different answers! One said yes, the other no.
Argh!
I know from watching the keynote speech about icloud and iOS 5 that you will be able to cut the cord between the pc and ios devices like the ipad. No more need to sync them via a cord. So will that mean i would then be able to load video directly to the ipad via tha cam kit connector from my ipod? Also i wonder if/when Apple will allow HD video from on Apple devices like a canon dslr to be able to transfer to the ipad via the cam kit connector AND be able to EDIT that footage in imovie for the ipad. Speaking of imovie for the ipad...i hope it gets an update soon as well.
Anyway....with the macbook airs getting updated next week with thunderbolt and new sandy bridge chips....i may just get one of them instead of the ipad 2 for editing video on the road. Still...i prefer surfing the web experience on the ipad. Grrrrrrr. **** youuuuuuu Apple!!! Lol

How long will UK delivery take for a iPhone4s and iPod Touch 5th gen?

how long will UK delivery take for a iPhone4s and iPod Touch 5th gen?

Water damage voids your warranty, so you only option with Apple is an out of warranty exchange. You can check what that fee would be in your country on the support pages.
Note that since Apple does not (and never has) repair iOS devices (they exchange them with factory refurbished units), there is no Apple certified training program for iOS repairs, no official parts supply and hence no such thing as an Apple Authorized repair technician or center for any iOS device. Any repairs you have done by a 3rd party shop you do on your own and you must be prepared to live with the results, whatever they are, as Apple will not accept a device that has been worked on by someone else.

I have a IPad 3 and IPod Touch 4. When an IPhone 4 or 5 sends à photo on Inessage, it tells that the message nr could be delievered. But, the photo comes to my IPod but not My IPad 3. What problem could this be?

Can it be some problems with the WiFi?

Itunes Home Sharing HD (720p) for Ipad and Iphone... Buffering Freezing...is a mess

I'd like to report a comment that I found on mac-forums.com that summerize the situation(http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/ios-apps/231842-ios-4-3-issues-home-sharing.htm l#post1273744):
"While home sharing works, it doesn't seem like a finished product to me. Since the appletv 2 is built on iOS, I don't understand why home sharing on the iPad does not work the EXACT same way as it does on the apple tv 2. These are the problems I have with home sharing on the iPad for video:
1) My shows should be displayed in order, which they are not. What I see is a random jumble of different shows, different seasons of the same show are not even placed together consistantly.
2) Once I select a season of a show, the episodes are not in order.
3) I can't see which episodes are watched or unwatched, nor can I resume an episode that I started on my computer (or start an episode on my iPad and finish it on my computer).
4) The streaming seems slow for HD content and stops every now and again to buffer.
The appletv 2 has none of these issues. Being as they run the same OS, I can only conclude that apple has a lot more work to do with home sharing on the iPad and iPhone, or they are deliberately hamstringing home sharing because now that they are releasing an HDMI adapter, a well implemented home sharing system would eat into the sales of the appletv 2."
I think that Apple must find a solution about this....also with ipad IOS 4.3.5 home sharing doesn't work properly with hd content....and I assure you is not a network problem

You don't share content from AppleTV (as it contains no content) and you can AirpPlay from iPad to AppleTV, not share content.
