How do i activate home sharing so i can mirror my ipad mini using my new apple tv device

i can seem to figure out how to turn on HOME SHARING so i can stream or mirror my Ipad Mini on my HDTV using my new Apple TV...everything i have read says just sign into I-tunes and activate Home Sharing...I am older and dumber than most users i guess

Welcome to the Apple Community.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.

  • How do I de-activate home sharing on dead computers? I have already used my allowed 5 spots, but only have 2 com puters!

    Over the years, I have authorized 5 computers for home sharing.  3 of the computers haved crashed, and are long gone.  I can't find any resolve to de-authorize those 3 computers from home sharing.  I am hoping to find the option, to de-authorize, and to authporize my new computer/  Any ideas?

    See this -> About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
    "*To deauthorize all computers associated with your account*
    If you find you have reached 5 authorizations, you can reset your authorization count by clicking Deauthorize All in the Account Information screen.
    Click iTunes Store in the menu on the left side of iTunes.
    If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    Click the Account button again (your ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click *View Account*.
    In the Account Information window, click *Deauthorize All*.
    Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than 5 authorized computers, or if you have used this option within the last 12 months. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact the iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww/)."
    Then authorize the computers you want (iTunes menu Store > Authorize computer). you need to be using a computer to authorize it.

  • How to enable airplay mirroring on ipad mini using apple tv

    I just bough an apple tv but i am unable to perform airplay mirroring using my mini ipdad

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.
    Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

  • How do I setup home sharing on my new ipad

    How do I setup home sharing on my Ipad ? I just installed an Apple TV and want to display content. Thanks

    Once sharing is set up for both devices, go into the Music or Video App, and look for the Air Play icon .
    Tap it to get a list of devices you can send content to, one should be your Apple Tv.
    Tap it to select it and start plaing anything you want. It should show up on the Tv.

    If you want to stream content from your computer, then setup Homesharing there, and then use the "Computers" Tab on the Aple Tv menu screen to access the shared library.

  • How do I ask home sharing to not copy duplicate files?

    I don't know if there's a good solution for this but here is what's happened to me.
    I got my new iMac a couple of months ago and I dragged my entire iTunes folder on to my new machine. This unfortunately gave me two copies of almost everything somehow so I selected show duplicates and I deleted them. This deleted not only the doubles but also all the songs with the same name even if they were in different albums. For example, a song on a full length album and a the same song on an EP were both deleted.
    So this is what I want. I want to use home sharing to copy the missing songs from my old computer to my new one without bringing over copies of things that are already on the new computer, like when you being to import duplicates into iPhoto and it asks you if you want to import the duplicates or not?
    Is there any way to get iTunes/Homesharing to do this?

    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?"

  • I can no longer activate home sharing on my Apple TV

    I have an Apple TV 2nd (or 3rd) generation. It was working fine until I updated the firmware one month ago. I can no longer activate home sharing. The WIFI connection works fine as I was able to restore the device. Home sharing is active on my computer (and my iPad and iPhone). When I try to activate home sharing on Apple TV it says that the Apple ID or password are incorrect. I know it is not the case as reentered it many times and very carefully. I also rest the device many times and restored the software twice.

    Bump... I have the same issue (on Ipad 4 and Itunes on Windows 7).

  • Has anyone found a solution to error 2146893032? I am obviously connected to the internet but I cannot activate home sharing from my computer. Not my firewall..

    I am trying to set up our Apple TV but we cannot activate Home Sharing. We keep getting error 2146893032. Please don't post the tutorial or troubleshooting guide. Been there already. We have also checked our virus software. Like another person who posed this question, obviously we are connected to the internet or we would not be able to post. This may reall be an iTunes issue but either way, I hope someone can help. Thanks

    What are you doing to activate home sharing?  Is it enabled on iTunes?
    obviously we are connected to the internet or we would not be able to post.
    You are connected, that does not mean ATV is.

  • How do I resolve home sharing error -3259?

    How do I resolve home sharing error -3259?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    This alert is often the result of iTunes being blocked by firewalls on the computer.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Try turning off your Firewall to see if the issue is resolved (this includes the built-in Firewall or a third-party Firewall such as Norton Personal Firewall, McAfee, Symantec, etc.). See iTunes: Music Sharing does not work if Firewall is on for steps if using Mac OS X.
    If there's no firewall or security software interference, try to remove proxy settings.

  • HT4367 I am trying to activate home sharing but I am getting error code 5506. ID not  recognized.

    I am trying to activate home sharing for Apple 2tv, and getting error 5506.My ID is not being recognized. to enable me to share. Yet I can sign.Any answers.

    Yes, the store didn't properly activate the card. If the store is nearly then you could try going back and asking them to do so, if it isn't (or if they can't/won't help) then try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes
