Homesharing mac and apple tv and other pcs

I recently deauthorised my mac the reauthorized. It now wont connect to homesharing despite all pcs and apple tv showing correct apple id etc. I've tried obvious stuff like turning homesharing on and off resetting apple tv etc but the units wont recognize each other. The apple account summary shows the correct no of authorized computers - I'm wondering I'd be better off setting up a new apple id?

I doubt setting up a new Apple ID will solve the problem. If you are going to take that approach try de-authorizing all devices first and then add them all back.
Just for the record. You can have up to ten (10) devices authorized. Only five (5) can be computers and Apple TVs do not count against that limit.

Try any of the following:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.

If you need to extract the drive's content you can remove it and install it in a $10 USB enclosure. It will be readable by any recent Mac.

Changed email from pop to imap in entourage 2008 and apple mail and have lost a lot of messages

Changed email from pop to imap in entourage 2008 and apple mail and have lost a lot of messages. I am a rookie and don't know what to do to correct the situation

I found this great set of mail AppleScripts:
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
It includes one script to delete duplicate messages. So if we can't find a way to do this right, then I'll just download all the duplicates then delete them. Of course I don't want to actually do that, lets call this the nuclear option.
So can anyone think of a way to make an IMAP account for my gmail without it downloading all the messages again that I have already downloaded?

Ipad won't respond to forced shutdown...spinning between battery icon and apple icon and flashing home screen

ipad wont respond to forced shutdown...spins between battery icon and apple icon and short flashes of the home screen

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

If I activated my iphone 4 using my ex boyfriends itunes and apple ID, and since changed my apple ID, how do I connect to my itunes on my laptop without losing all of my data? it wont connect to the new library!

Back in October my boyfriend and I had gotten iphone 4's together. I was on his plan so I just activated my phone on his itunes and used his appleID. Since then we had broken up and I had gotten a new apple ID and everything worked fine. Until now I have had no need to use Itunes, but I just downloaded it on my moms laptop and tried to connect to it and it tells me I can only be connected to one library and if i want i cant disconnect from the old one and start with this one, but it will delete all my data and pics and videos......and im not happy at all. The whole icloud thing less than pleases me so that is not an option. Is there any way around this????? I will NOT have my phone earased and I cannot continue to use his laptop for itunes. Pretty dumb mac, if ya ask me.

You can export ONLY Camera Roll photos and videos.

Sign in to iTunes Store (on desktop itunes) with your ID. Plug your iphone to itunes, right click on it and choose transfer purchases.Right click again and choose backup. Then you can sync with iTunes.

Your conversations will not deleted if you sync with your iTunes.
What is the problem with iCloud? iCloud has nothing to do with iTunes syncing.

HT4352 I have a pc laptop and apple desktop and only the pc connect on home sharing. why?

I am having problems playing my Apple PC music and pics on apple tv. The IBM stuff comes thru ok. Even though after i set up home sharing my library pops up but after a long search it comes back stating that my pc and apple tv should be on the same id. The fact of the matter is that
they are. Help

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If the mac is set up correctly you may well have a problem on your network, start by checking the firewall (if you use one) is set up to allow iTunes, do you use any security software on the mac.

NAS Drives and Apple TV and networking

Hello, first post on here so sorry if it is a bit disjointed!!!
Trying to be as brief as possible, I am running an imac with a time machine backup drive attached and a macbook. Both connect via wifi to the internet through my speedtouch 585 i router (Cytanet provided)
I need more storage because my photo library is currently running at 280GB
My thinking is that if i get a 4TB NAS drive and connect it to my router, i can access the drive from both computers and use it as a backup for my content. trouble is, if i set up the macs to the home network using the built in airport then will i lose the internet?
I also want to get an Apple Tv and use the NAS drive to stream content to it.
The main question is, how do I set up the computers to see the NAS drive and the internet? will it automatically see the drive as it is attached to the router?
and, if i can get that working, will using the internet slow down streaming to the Apple Tv.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
I don't fully understand why you think you will lose access to the internet by adding a NAS drive to your network.
You should be able to add the NAS, and the tv without losing your internet connection. Your macs should be able to see the NAS and use it for storage and back up, you should have no problem using it for your iphoto/itunes content and the tv should be able to use that content through itunes.
Network drives are unfortunately quite slow in comparison to external drives but in most scenarios should do the job.
Your connection to the internet may well be something like 8 - 16 Mbps, the NAS interface may allow speeds of around 20 Mbps, the tv requires around 5 Mbps but will operate up to about 14 Mbps. Your LAN is likely capable of much higher speeds and you shouldn't really have too much trouble using everything together.

HELP! Problems with appstore download and apple id and password

Mac appstore wont let me download apps. Problem is that appstore doesnt recognize my password. At the same time, appstore alowes me to verifiy my accout (my apple id accout which i use for mac appstore) using the same apple id and password. But when I try to use that pass for downloading apps it wont let me. With the same id i can log on icolud.com, and used it to log on this site also.
I am using iMac, early 2009, OS Lion and have different itunes and apple id accounts.

Sign fully out of the store and then back in again.

How do you reset the security questions when you havent used a credit card to make any purchases, only the gift cards. Apple support will not help me even though i know my account and apple id and password?

Have a new computer and now cannot access itunes without knowing the answers to the security questions. Apple support cannot reset as we have never used a credit card when purchasing prior, have only used gift cards. Can provide apple id and password and all other account details but still no help. Have we to open a new3 account and start again, this means losing a lot of credit on the existing account?!

I have the same problem. I didn't set a rescue email for some reason. To find out weather you hav a rescue password: Go to appleid.apple.com, sign in, go to manage account and then password and security if you do there will be a link below telling you that you can send an email to it. If not the link won't be there. Hope this helps.

How can i delete and apple id and create a new one without a password?

how can i delete and apple ID without a password so i can create a new one? thank u

It is not possible to delete an apple id completely. You can only delete information like credit card, adress, name... To do this, go to iTunes Store, click on your email adress in the upper right corner and enter your password. Now you can manage your account.
An apple id without password is not possible.

After installing IOS8.02 my ipad air will not boot up. get white screen and apple logo and then a blue screen. over and over again.

Ipad air wifi only 16gb worked ok with IOS 8.0 . just did upgrade to 8.02 and now it will not boot up. I get a white screen with the apple logo and then a blue screen. it does this over and over. I need help. What do i need to do. Please help.

Hi ..
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, restore the iPad > Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

HT201210 I did the update on my phone and now it just keeps restarting itself over and over again. It will come up with the black screen and apple sign and shut off and bring that up again. What do I do?

First I did the update under general like I do every couple months. My phone came up with a screen, at the end of the update, that had a picture of the itunes icon and a picture of the iphone cord like I was supposed to connect to itunes. I did and itunes said that my phone needed to be "restored" to be reusable again, and the only option it gave me was to click the restore button. So I did and it went through a 30 minute restore session. Now my phone just shows the black screen with the apple icon and restarts over and over again. Clicking the buttons does nothing. It has been doing this for hours now. What do I do?

The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes.

Are iCloud and apple id and password the same

I keep getting a request for my icloud password which was assigned to an old id. I don't remember the password so I click on forgot password after which it tells me to reset my apple id password which I do. I can't find out where to see my icloud profile to then change the icloud id. Where is it? Should the cloud and applie profiles be the same?

Hello sukoenig,
Thank you for your question. It sounds like you are wanting to know if your Apple ID and iCloud have the same password. Yes, and in fact that is recommended according to this article you can have more than 1 Apple ID if you choose. Take a loot at this information about how your Apple ID works:
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4895
An Apple ID is the email address you use as a login for just about everything you do with Apple, including using iCloud to store your content, buying songs from the iTunes Store, and downloading apps from the App Store.
When you set up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you can use the same Apple ID for iCloud services and purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store. You can also use one Apple ID for iCloud services and another Apple ID for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). You will get all the benefits of iCloud whether you use the same Apple ID for iCloud and store purchases, or different IDs for each.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling
