How can i get home sharing to work, how can i get home sharing to work

When I sign into my Apple ID on multiple computers for home sharing, the icon on the left hand side in itunes disappears after I click done. I have tried to redownload itunes, restart my computer, basically anything the internet said but nothing helped. Helpp please!!

Gino Cerullo,
Thanks for your response. I tried all that myself. In fact, last night, it all worked fine on all users. This morning, no Home Sharing would show up. It is really weird because some setting must have changed, but I did not knowingly changed anything, and now all the obvious fixes don't work. In fact, if I turn off Home Sharing and turn it back on, then it comes up only until I hit the "done" button on the set up page and then it goes away from the left hand column again. The ADVANCED drop down tab says it is on, but it is not there.
Thanks anyway.

  • HT204406 I purchased music on my iPad (and it works fine).  It populated my purchased list on my home computer but will not download ?? when I access it in the iTunes store I can click on play but nothing happens-how do I get it to download on my computer

    I purchased music on my iPad (and it works fine).  It populated my purchased list on my home computer but will not download (purchase is no longer a given option) ?? when I access it in the iTunes store I can click on play but nothing happens…how do I get it to download on my computer ?

    If you connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases then it should copy over to your iTunes library. Depending upon what country that you are in you might also be able to redownload it on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.

  • TS2972 How do you get the house icon to come up for the home shared? I can't drag the songs!

    I have tried troubleshoot.. How do you set it up to where I can drag songs from other libraries!

    I had the most awful time trying to make this work too.
    Here's what I did...
    1) Turn off the wifi on your mac.
    2) Get all your contacts the way you want them on your address book (on your mac) BUT you have to make sure they're all in the same contact list. See... there's a little red ribbon almost in the middle of the address book screen. Click on it and make sure there is only one list. My problem was my address book had created a "On my Mac" list, and an iCloud list, both with different contacts. Once you get them all into one list go to "Export" and create an "Address Book archive". Save this document in a safe place, this will contain ALL your contacts the way you want them.
    3) Delete all your contacts on Address Book, and using a web browser delete all your contacts on iCloud. Turn on the wifi on your Mac and let them both (mac and icloud) sync up and make sure there's no contacts at all. If any appear you'll have to delete them.
    4) Turn the wifi off on your mac once more.
    5) Import the Address Book archive into your address book (on the mac). Make sure they all import to only one list (no more "On my Mac", or "iCloud" list).
    6) Turn on your wifi and let iCloud sync to your list of contacts. If it deletes them all try the whole process again... deleting from iCloud and mac, and then importing contacts into Address Book.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I set up my iTunes so I can listen to it at work and at home - same library.

    How can I set up my iTunes so I can listen to it at work and at home - same library.

    Put a copy of the whole library on a flash drive.
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
    I don't know if there is a Windows equivalent of the below:
    Slink ($25) - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/slink/id402358338?mt=12 - "Slink is the easy way to remotely access your home network. Listen to your iTunes music and watch your movies from anywhere, get the files from your home Mac or Time Capsule that you forgot to bring with you on the road, or help your parents or kids out using remote screen sharing. "

    You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
    there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
    Seriously? It's physically broken!

  • I have safari in my iPad but bookmark is not working. I can not book mark any things.  How do I get back my bookmark working so that I can open the web page I have already booked marked.  Thank you for your answer

    I have iPad 2.
    The safari bookmark was working yesterday.  Today book mark is not working.  I can not book mark anything. 
    Did I do anything to prevent stopping bookmark to store?  Please help me how to get back working my bookmark.  Thank you.

    See if this works.
    Quit the Safari app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • 2 New Ipads (Retina and Mini)(New to Apple) How do I share purchased apps, but others have each act independently? Mini is for the Wife the Ipad4? is for me. I want to use mine at work, etc. She's home with the kids. Can we set them up seperate, but share

    2 New Ipads (Retina and Mini)(New to Apple) How do I share purchased apps, but others have each act independently? Mini is for the Wife the Ipad4? is for me. I want to use mine at work, etc. She's home with the kids. Can we set them up seperate, but share
    --break--
    So we are entirely new to Apple products. I'm an IT guy, but have always been a windows user.
    So the Ipad with Retina Display is to be mine (and will use it at work for notes, organization, etc)
    The MINI is for the wife.
    But, are we allowed and can we.. buy an app and share that app between both devices? IE. Can I buy a copy of Angry Birds for the House and both Ipad's use that single purchase? and if so, can we still run the Ipads seperate other than to share the apps purchased. IE my facebook and email set up on mine and hers on her ipad mini?
    When I finally find a note taking app I like, can I share it on her ipad, without her having all my work files, etc?
    Thanks for helping out the apple noob. Hoping for a great experience, and anticipate droping $100 in apps the first day.. just don't want to do that twice. If this is against the usage policy, thats unfortunate but good to know. (I mean we can share stuff on PC as long as its in the same household)
    thanks again (explanations or links are fine)

    There are a number of Apple services: iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game center, Find My iPad, etc.
    Now, to share apps, music and books you need to have the same Apple ID:
    iPad's Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Your purchasing Apple ID.
    For the other service, your wife should have her own Apple ID.
    All she needs is a valid e-mail address, apply Apple ID below:

  • My service since June 2nd has been almost obsolete at work and home. I was told August 15th I could get out of my contract how do I know that is true ?

    Something happened in my area on June 2nd and my service has not been the same. I called and complained that week and was never contacted back.I can not use my phone in most areas of the building I work in and can not use it in my bedroom at home. I signed my 2 year contract for the first phone April was a year ago and the second phone November will be a year. My daughter has started school and I hate not being able to contact her and vise versa. I was told August 15th which is the end of my billing cycle that I could get out of my contract. This was told to me over the phone I have all the information , but my concern is how do I know this is true. I can't end it until my daughter comes home so we can do some sort of switch over. I paid for the 2 phones and now have to reinvest in more phones and I don't think that is fair either. I live in an area where we still have Alltel and it is being bought out by at&t. If I switch I don't know what my service will be like and sure don't want to sign another contract with out knowing if it will work either. If I wait and Verizon puts a ding on my credit what will I be able to do that won't cost me a fortune on prepaid cell phone purchases ?

    Best coverage is really subjective based on your location. For example, Verizon is the best in my area, but 20 miles up the road, a local carrier is better.
    There was a law recently passed that requires Verizon to unlock a phone when it's out of contract. I'm not sure whether that includes a contract that was terminated.
    The ETF is signed on a per line/per phone basis. If you open another line, you're simply going to add to your headache. They typically don't budge on the ETF.
    In a sense, you are blaming Verizon for the high cost of cellular devices. They offered insurance when you signed up, and apparently chose not to accept it. That makes you responsible for replacing your device, if you choose to.
    Lastly, the FCC has already addressed the ETF issue. It used to be a base ETF no matter how far you were into your contract. Now, you can reduce your $350 ETF by $10 for each completed month. The FCC isn't going to consider another ETF complaint.
    I agree, Verizon has really taken a step down when it comes to customer service. That said, I don't feel this is a customer service issue. You chose not to insure your device without doing the research on the actual cost of a device, first.

  • How can I print from work to my APEn USB home printer?

    Hello all,
    01--I just bought my first AirPort Extreme(n) router and wanted to configure my home network so that I can print over the internet from work.
    02--I’ve already enabled the “AirPort Utility” > “Settings” > “Printers” > “Share printers over Ethernet WAN port” option.
    03--My work computer is a 1.5 ghz 12” PowerBook G4 running 10.4.10.
    My home printer is a Brother HL 2040.
    03-- I am able to print wirelessly whilst on my own home network.
    04--I’ve already tried unsuccessfully to use the following settings: “Printer Setup Utility” > “Printers” > “Add Printer...” > “IP Printer” > “Internet Printing Protocol - IPP” > “Address = My Home’s Internet Connection IP". However, I keep getting the never ending message the status Network host ‘IP address’ is busy; will try in 30 seconds...
    05-- I’ve already noticed some unanswered posts by other users. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4592342
    Many thanks!!!!!!!
    AirPort Extreme (n), 1.5 Ghz 12" PowerBook G4, Brother HL-2040 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

    I might be wrong, but I don't think you can. Inorder to print directly from your computer at work you would have to have access to your wireless system from that computer. The only other thing I can think of is through file sharing but then again it seems like you have to have some method of accessing one of your computers at home via the internet.
    A very primative way of printing would be to send yourself an email with an attachment of whatever you wanted to print. Open the email when you get home and print the attachment.
    I know that's probably not what you wanted to hear.
    If there is a way there are some pretty sharp guys on the discussion forum and I am sure one of the will answer.

  • The bottom bar on my mail has disappeared which means I can't create, reply or forward to an email. Any ideas how to get it back? Touching the screen at the bottom doesn't work!

    The bottom bar in my email seems to have disappeared which means I can't create, reply or forward any emails. Any auggestions to how to get it back? Touching the bottom of the screen doesn't work. Thanks.

    Close all apps in the Multitasking Drawer; Double Tap Home Button to open drawer, Swipe up on each app to close it. Repeat until all apps are closed, touch home screen.
    Restart phone, hold both Home and Power/Sleep buttons down at the same time, continue to hold them down until the Apple Logo appears, Release both buttons and wait for phone to restart.
    Check email app to see if bottom bar and new email icon have come back.
    If not, delete the email account in settings and then add it back in again.
    If mail still not working as it should, you may try doing a Reset All Settings reset in Settings => General => Reset => Reset All Settings.  You won't lose any data, music, apps, videos,pictures, etc.  But you will have to go back in and turn on or off any settings you changed on your phone because everything will be set back to factory defaults.

    Since I joined creative cloud, I have not been able to sync. Why the difference? Worked good during initial trial.
    Also I had installed the Mosaic app for ipad before Lightroom mobile came out and I cannot seem to get rid of it. How can I get mosaic out? I have cancelled, I have deleted, I have looked through the files for visible remnants.

    The sync count is 60 and static. The total number synced so far is 500+. None have been synced from the ipad except for corrections made there on those already synced.
    I have deleted the Mosaic app from all machines and checked the library folder and have contacted the Mosaic tech support and they have discontinued my subscription. I still get mosaic messages on initiating Lightroom and sometimes at closing.
    I have not tried to sync fewer yet, but some catalogs that I have tried are smaller numbers. Initially, it did well on good connections. Nothing works on my home connections over satellite.

    Not unless you stop it connecting to wifi at home.
