Homeshareing

I was trying to share photos from my iphone to my windows base computer through homeshare. It showed it was transferring or copying the files, then indicated it was done. I disconnected my phone but when i checked it, all my 250-odd pictures except for one were gone from the phone. I checked my music library and it appears to be there, but random songs and albums are also missing. where is all the data?

Hey Brian, I have the mini set to never sleep.
I also have a static IP for it on the router too. Unless the static IP's are gone after a power failure, cause if thats the case that might be my problem????

I recently upgraded to Fios Quantum and have a new ActionTech router. As a result my PC is no longer communicating with my APPLE TV.It must have a firewall or ports beegin blocked preventing the homesharing and communication even though the APPLE TV is on

I recently upgraded to Verizon Fios Quantum high speed internet and was given an ActionTec router. I sucessfully installed all and connected wth my Apple TV. Although it worked initially it no longer does. Something appears to be blocking the Homesharing between my PC and the AppleTV even though the Apple TV is successfully connected to my home network. I spoke with an Apple Support Tech who was unable to help me becuase I have a PC! He admitted this is a common problem with FIOS and PCS. There must be a port that needs to be opened in the router. I do not beleive it is anything to do with my antivirus software or Windows Defender as i uninstalled all and still not communication. Must be a port within the routter that is blocking tis communication. On my Itunes you can see that it does not see the Apple TV. Please advise.

I'd have to agree. I set my vms and two clients on Saturday in one hour. I think the picture is better I did not see an issue with the brightness. For the heck of it I recorded five channels at once to test it. I've also noticed when playing a recorded show on the client everything responds a lot quicker. So I am impressed and curious to see what new features come later.
Kudos to verizon.

When I try to turn on my homesharing on apple TV it says that either my apple id doesn't exist or the password is wrong. However, I've been using the id for almost half a year and I even changed my password and it still wouldn't work. How do I fix this?

Not sure if this Term is Relevant towards an iPhone but, my iPhone won't Post unless if it's plugged into a Charger.

I am having a problem with homesharing on my apple tv. The email address on my tv is different than what I am registered with. How do I correct the email address that is being displayed under home sharing on the apple tv?

Somehow my apple id email address under homesharing on my apple tv is different than that used for homesharing on itunes in my imac. I can't access home sharing on my apple tv because of this. Can you please tell me how to change it on the apple tv in order to get homesharing to work?

turn off home sharing on apple tv, then turn it on again, entering new credentials. Apple-TV works very reliably with home sharing unlike iDevices which don't

My apple tv is not working on the computer tab as it says to turn on homesharing and it is on

my apple tv says to turn on homesharing which it already is
i am unable to access the photos in the computer tab
any suggestions
thanks
i have restarted and returned on both computer and apple tv btw

After hours of trying to fix- finally found simple solution !
Go to the main computer(s) where you ahve your itunes program. This applies to PC Win7 in my case.
Upper left hand corner under 'File' See drop down menu where it says " Home Sharing'. If on turn it off , then go right back and turn it on- you will have to sign in with Apple ID and password.
Then -this is the solution.
Go to your My computer on your PC - hit button for it to shows all your drives. Click on your main drive - usually 'C". It will show all the stuff on that drive.
Find where your Itunes program is - usually under "programs" Once you find Itunes , right click to get drop down menu- at bottom is "Properties" right click. another small windows comes up - click tab for sharing . If it says not shard - you will see a blue highlighed " Advanced Sharing" click that to folow instructions to enable sharing.
Do that for any program you want to share with Apple TV.
If they are not set to "Share" Apple Tv will not work for Home Sharing.
Once all programs involved with Ituenes etc are set to shared . Then go to Apple TV. back to Home Sharing and everything should show up.
Mine did and it was a simple fix.
Good Luck

I have apple TV and i am trying to connect it to the TV, it tells me to turn on the homesharing, but under the home sharing shows a different email address than the actual itunes account. how do i fixthanks it?

i just got an Apple TV. i am trying to connect my itunes to the tv, it tells me to turn on the homesharing on my computer but when i try it show up a different email address than my itunes account, how do i fix so i can do homesharing?

It is quite possible to have a different iCLoud AppleID from the iTunes one - have you set up maybe Phot Stream using an non-iTunes AppleID?

Homesharing only works with computers. If your using an ipad you want to use Airplay instead.

Jst got new computer and want to make it my main i-tunes for i-pod. It shows up when plugged in but it won't stay in the computers music library so when unplugged theres no music. Does it have to do with homesharing? How do I move orig stuff to new comp?

I just downloaded i-tunes on my new computer because I want this one to be my main computer used with my i-pod. When I plug in my i-pod mine shows up, but my music and all my previous purchases aren't in the new computer so when I unplug my i-pod everything goes away and there is nothing. I am wondering how I get all of my original music and purchases that are on the other computer I was using with my i-pod onto this new computer. That way it shows up even if I don't plug my i-pod in. Does it have to do with homesharing? I have it on, do I need to turn it off from the main computer? I just everything in this computers i-tunes music library, not just my i-pods music when it's plugged in. Can someone please help, I don't know why this is so difficult.

Try the iTunes for Windows forum area.

Can't import homeshare music onto laptop,updated operating system now Itunes wont open at all.

I have an older desktop where the majority of our itunes library is. I have been using a new laptop where I have downloaded new music to our same itunes account. Today I turned the desktop on and turned on HOME Sharing in itunes, where the music did show up on my laptop. I clicked to select all songs but the import button was not highlighted and would not allow me to click it. So I decided to update the operating system to the most current on my desktop, since it has not been used/updated for over a year. Now Itunes will not even open when I click on it, it just bounces up and down and stops. I updated the flash player and that did not help. Now I cant open ITUNES and homeshare dissapeared on my laptop. My ultimate goal would be to get all the music for itunes off the desktop and on my laptop Can anyone please help me?

Do you get an error message when you try to open iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

I am trying to help my mother build her iTunes library. I want to transfer files from my iTunes to hers. I have tried HomeSharing, but the "Show/Import" menu buttons are nowhere to be seen on either of our computers. We have PCs, not MacBooks.

I want to import some of my iTunes files to my mother's iTunes account so she doesn't have to pay again to get them. We are going on a trip soon, and she wanted some movies to watch on here iPad. Some of the movies, I already have. I can't seem to do anything. Homesharing has been useless, because while her iTunes can 'see' my iTunes and vice versa, the magic "Show" and more importantly the magic "Import" buttons are nowhere to be seen. How in the **** am I supposed to share my files if I can't import them to her library for her? I have seen many solutions for people using iTunes on a MacBook, but we don't have MacBooks in our house. I have a Samsung laptop and Mom has a Gateway laptop, and both operate on Windows 7. Seriously. This should not be impossible, but right now, it seems that way. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Will iTunes allow me to do this? I'm not really all that familiar with Windows computers. I have recently had to move to a PC because my $3000 macBook Pro died one month after the warranty was up. How could I get iTunes to accept media from another computer?

How do you use homeshare?

I turned on homeshare and I put the ID of the account I wanted to share with, but I now I don't know where to find the songs.
Can anyone help me? I would be helpful if theres some kind of vitsual aid.

I put the ID of the account I wanted to share with
Both computers need to logged into Home Sharing with the same AppleID and they both need to be on the same network.
Doesn't natter which AppleID you use, just as long as both computers are using the same one.

Can i homeshare my itunes account with an ipod nano?

I have an ipod touch and my son has my old ipod nano. I'd like to homeshare with him...is that possible?

Unfortunately not. Home Sharing only streams content to iOS devices, and the nano is not an iOS device.

Then stop trying to use HomeShare and use one of the other options listed in the document from which your question was posted.
