Your computers, iPod Touch, iPad, or iPhone must be connected to the same wi-fi network.

How can I use home sharing between our iphones (create playlists from both accounts at once)

How can I use home sharing between our iphones, so that we can create playlists with songs from both of our libraries? We share a Macbook Pro (separate accounts) and each have the new iphone, but when I have my iphone and try to create a new playlist, I can only grab songs from one account. Is there a way to create a playlist using both accounts since we are sharing?
Does it have to be created within iTunes first on our Mac?

The short answer: because Home Sharing isn't designed for sharing apps, and apps aren't designed to be shared.
The longer answer: Think of it like this...
You download some music in iTunes. With Home Sharing, another user can listen to it by streaming it over the network. But the data itself is on your computer. If you turn off the computer or take it off the network, the other user can't access it.
But if you send another user the app, they aren't just streaming the data- they installed it on their iOS device. Because they weren't the one that purchased it, such a transfer could easily be considered "piracy" or "stealing," and nobody likes that (least of all, Apple).
When iTunes sees this app, it obviously recognized it, as if saying, "Hey, how did you get this app on your device, if I have no record of you purchasing/downloading it from the iTunes store?"

You can't, you will need to get a new remote.

Can i use home sharing between my computer and my ipad?

can I use home sharing between my computer and my new ipad (3rd generation) if so, how.
Thanks

You can use it to share the library on your computer to the iPad, not the other way around.
On the computer, set up homesharing in the advanced menu. On the iPad go to settings > music.

On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD on a different computer using Home Sharing? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

Yes, you can copy songs that you ripped from a CD to your Home Sharing computer.
Turn on Home Sharing first on both computers. To do that, go to File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing. Enter your Apple ID and password.
Now go to your computer that you want to copy the songs to and connect to your Home Share. You can do that by clicking on the popover button located at the left top corner right below the play control buttons. Click on it and scroll to the bottom until you see your Home Share and select it.
Go to Music in your Home Share. Select the songs that you want to copy in your Home Share and click Import at the bottom right corner.

How can I use home sharing? (main computer)

Well, I have a Windows PC and almost on my music is in Home Sharing with my sister (her computer is the main computer, I'm pretty sure) . When her computer is closed, the home sharing disapeers.
Is there anything I can do so that I can always have home sharing or move the music to my music folder? Something like that?
Any help will be appreciated!
Thank you!

First, make sure you've got the home share set up on both computers, as per the following document:
iTunes: Setting up Home Sharing on your computer
Have both computers running and have iTunes open on both computers.
Now, in the iTunes on the computer you want to transfer music to, select the library that you want to transfer music from, as per the following screenshot:
Once the other library loads, go down to the bottom of the screen and in "Show:" select "Items not in my library":
If you want to import all of the songs you can now see, head up to the iTunes menu bar and go "Edit > Select all". Then head down to the bottom of the screen again and click the "Import" button in the bottom-right-hand corner.

How do I use home sharing between my home computer and my work computer so I can listen to the same music both places?

Hello. I am trying to use my work computer with itunes to listen my my music on my itunes on my computer at home. I have signed into both. My computer at home is off, is there a way to listen to all my music on both computers by using Home Sharing or another means?

The best way I know is to sign up for iTunes Match. All your music is stored in the cloud and can be accessed by up to 10 devices.

HT3819 Can you access home sharing from iPhone 5 that is on another wifi. Say mcdonalds

I want to access my music, videos, etc. from my computer. On iPhone 4 I was able to do this with home sharing. Now my iPad, iPhone 5 cannot access unless I am at home. I have iTunes Match. How do I view my movies over wifi with home sharing

There is a difference between accessing one of your computers at home over a local network (wired or WiFi) and trying to access the same shared folder from outside of your local network. In principle it isn't possible due to the way data is routed via the internet. You should be able to access past iTunes store purchases (where applicable) and your iTunes Match account via any Wi-Fi point that connects you to the internet directly from Apple's servers, however it might be that certain places restrict access to particular servers.

How can I configure Home Sharing to work through a consumer VPN service?

I recently purchased a year subscription to a VPN service know as Private Intenet Access (PIA). With this VPN executable program connected to it's servers, my data is "filtered" through it behind the router. The router IS NOT configure with the vpn so I can controll which devices use the VPN. Addiotionally, if I want I can configure the VPN as a proxy instead of just running the program ( i would use the proxy for mobile devices).
My question is this: Is there an efficient way to configure iTunes and/or Apple TV3 in order to be able to use PIA while home sharing. I notice, often times that home sharing on the Apple TV will not read the Windows maching that has home sharing enabled through iTunes. But other machines work fine. Sometimes, depending on the "order" of the networks I connect to home sharing will work from the particular machine.
for example:
I can connect to the internet if I connect to my wifi and then enable the VPN (PIA) but cannot home share. However, if I connect to PIA then connect to the Wifi, it will work witout an issue.
The real issue is that when the Apple TV and pr PC go to sleep these connecting can wake up connecting in a different order.
I can only think to perhaps manually enter in the proxy info supplied by PIA to Apple TV. But there are not real instructions on how to do so.
I know this question is broad and scattered, but I am hoping that someone out there has had or having the same issue with some kind of resolution.
I've chatted online with PIA reps and they aren't entirely Apple savy. So here I am.
Any help in the right direction is greatly appreciated!!
-Cheers

How do I use home sharing between 2 PCs to transfer my itunes library music?

I have turned on homesharing on both my old and new computer but it won't transfer the music i have uploaded and downloaded to my new computer. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hey Louisebun,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The following article outlines the steps of moving music to a new computer using Home Sharing. It is good to note that this option allows you to share music between multiple computers if you continue to use both, but it doesn't create a lasting backup. To create a lasting backup, use an external drive or CDs or DVDs.
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
I've highlighted some of the key steps below:
On your new computer:
7. Click the Store menu and choose Authorize computer. Enter your Apple ID and password (that was listed in the Advanced menu in step three or used in step 5).
8. Choose Advanced > Turn On Home Sharing from the menu bar.
9. Select the Home Sharing icon on the left side of iTunes.
Note: Once Home Sharing is enabled, the Home Sharing option disappears from the left side of iTunes until a Home Share library is found from another computer.
10. Once your new computer sees the Home Share from your old computer, click that Home Share on the left side of iTunes on your new computer.
11. Select the content in the Home Share that you want to transfer to your iTunes library on your new computer, or choose Edit > Select All to choose all of it. Then, click the Import button in the bottom-right corner of iTunes.
12. Wait for the content to finish transferring.
Thanks,

How can I activate home sharing in itunes?

I really need help on yhis one. I do have an wondows computer. Plz help!

No. Home sharing only works when the computer is on and while iTunes is running.
You can sync your music to the iPad. Select your music in the Music Pane of iTunes while the iPad is connected to your PC, with iTunes running and with the iPad selected. This will explain how to sync any content to the iPad.

How can i connect home sharing and the control app with 2 IP addresses?

i am using my macbook pro at school and i also take it back home, and when i'm home the home sharing with my iPhone 5's Remote app works perfectly fine, just that when i'm back to res at school it doesn't work for some unknown reason. i've checked everything including the firewall and stuff and itunes home sharing is turned on, i even tried using another home sharing apple id but it still doesn't work. somebody please help!!!
thanks!

If you use eithernet for your main connection then just plug the TC bridged into the network.
If you use wireless for your internet connection then you can use the TC isolated from the network by ethernet.. but this is really only convenient on a desktop Mac.
The instructions I put in this thread with screenshots.. see near the bottom.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4817218?tstart=30
It is a bit tricky so if you have questions ask back here.
Just to say a USB for firewire external drive is faster and more reliable than a TC.. cheaper to buy as well.. although since you already have the TC that is not a concern.. but you can ebay the TC and buy a bigger and better external drive with the proceeds.

How to turn off home sharing on iphone and put all of my music in one place?

I have the iphone 4 with ios7. I have Rihanna's Unapologetic cd that I ripped to itunes a while ago. Today I synced my entire music library to my iphone. The only way I can find the album by Rihanna is if I go to the home sharing on my iphone and choose my computer library! I'm getting really frustrated because I don't understand why I can't just have all my music in the music library and nowhere else? Also, all of my music appears to be on the cloud which doesn't make sense to me. Especially because I synced it all from my computer so why do I have to download to my phone again? Basically itunes is doing too much. Oh, and every time I sync my music itunes always deletes my playlists from my phone.

Consolidate your iTunes Library
As for the other part of the question, iTunes syncs with Apple devices.
Simply copy the media desired from the computer to the microSD card. This has nothing to do with iTunes.
