How do I get iTunes Home Sharing to be seen on my PS3?

I have already contacted Sony's PS3 support online chat and they assisted me with getting it all set-up on their end, but now I need to get it to work from my iTunes' end.
I have enabled Home Sharing in my iTunes desktop software, it stated it was enabled just fine; but when I look to see how to authorize my PS3 as an aditional machine allowed to have access to my media, I cannot seem to find a way to do this.
Is there any way to set this up, anyone? Or am I at a loss? If there is no way, can anyone help direct me on where I can go to listen to my iTunes music (possibly by adding a share to the iTunes Music folder on my PC) on my PS3?

Hello,
First try the Five R's. The Five R's are the five things to first do if your iPod is having issues.
I especially suggest Resetting, Restoring, and Reinstalling iTunes.
Make sure your iTunes program is upgraded. Get the latest version here:
iTunes - Download iTunes
If you have issues installing iTunes' latest updates, go here:
Trouble installing iPod, iTunes, or Quicktime software in Windows
Try out the suggestions and solutions in these Apple Support links:
Using iPod with multiple computers
iPod shows up in Windows, but not in iTunes
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes for Windows
Try those articles. Post back, so I can try to help if those things above didn't.

  • Can't get iTunes "Home Sharing" to work...

    Before we switched to FIOS, we had Comcast and the Home Sharing on iTunes worked fine.  Now, some setting must be different because I can't get the libraries from 2 different computers to "talk" to each other.  I have all the settings in iTunes correct, but each doesn't "show up" on the other's network.
    Any suggestions?

    Log into the router and select the Advanced settings.  There's a item to dump the router configuration on that screen -- it'll download a file to your PC-- you can just open it with Notepad is it's just a text file.

  • Does the iTunes home sharing limit of 5 apply to iPads?

    I have one PC and 6 iPads in my home.  I have managed to get iTunes Home Sharing working with the PC and 5 of the 6 iPads.  Any suggestions as to how to get it working on the 6th?  I do have another PC that I can add to the mix... I would love to make sure I can use the same Apple ID though.  Thanks in advance for any ideas!

    The page that you posted from applies to computers only, iOS devices (iPhones, iPads, iPod Touches) aren't authorised - so at any one time you can have your account authorised on up to 5 computers.

  • How to properly embed album art work into TV/Films itunes: home sharing lag

    My setup is a simple apple home sharing network.
    I have a mac mini running OS X 10.6.8 and itunes 11.0.4(4) it hosts a lot of music, DVD's that have been re-encoded and paid for content from itunes.
    The mac mini is conntected to the network over a very good gigbit lan and has 4 apple TV3 (latest gen) hanging off the network, and multiple PC/Mac/ipod/ipad devices hanging off the network.
    I connect to the itunes home sharing service with the apple TV service using the "remote" application on the ipad.
    When I select Music/Albums TV Shows or Films from the menu of the itunes library the album art work loads (quickly) over the grey boxes as I scroll down. However this takes a few seconds for each "scroll" I do on the ipad (it has thousands of items in there).
    The exception to the rule is any paid content, when I open Music/TV/Films menu on the ipad the paid content (especially for TV and Films) the artwork is already there, and doesn't have to load it.
    How is the artwork for paid content contained differently than the artwork for content I've manually put into the itunes library.
    If I look at the itunes library locally on the machine hosting the itunes data, the artwork is there straightaway, no loading, pull up the items info with "get info" and click on art work, the artwork is there, and I can see no different in the art work settings for paid content or for content I've manually updated/loaded an image for.
    So why/how does the paid for content have artwork on the ipad the exact second I open it over the network, yet the non-paid for content take a few seconds per screen to load it.
    Is there something different in how the art work is embeeded, or is it a caching setting ? whats the difference.

    Dang You Autocorrect.
    You don't saw what size and resolution the embedded artwork is. This could be part of the issue. Artwork on movies you purchase from the iTunes Store is 667x1000 at 72 DPI so if yours is larger than this is could be causing the delay.

  • HT4363 Have content of iTunes on both Appletvs but can only play on one.  Tv menu won't let me choose both locations.  How do I correct this?  ITunes Home Sharing is on.  Multiple Airplay is on from the iTunes menu, too.

    If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
    This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
    If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

  • How do I get iTunes to provide track names on home recorded music?

    How do I get iTunes to provide track names when I burn a CD of home recorded music?

    Audio CDs do not contain track information. For commercial CDs this information is supplied by the Gracenote service (see below).  Each computer gets this information for a particular CD from this service, it isn't on the CD.  You would have to register your CD with Gracenote.  In my opinion this is a bit much for a personal CD that only a few computers in the world will ever see, but I guess unless they block it then you can do it.

  • How can i access my home shared videos from my iPad2 if I now have iTunes match?

    how can i access my home shared videos from my iPad2 if I now have iTunes match?

    That's exactly what I meant, but for some reason Home Sharing stopped working on my iPad2 once I activated iTunes Match.
    Since then, I waited for iTunes Match to finish setting up and scanning my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro and I restarted my iPad2. Both Home Sharing and iTunes Match are now up and running smoothly!
    Thanks for the reply!

    Use MPEG Streamclip to convert them to MPEG-4, and drag those files into the open iTunes application window.

  • How do I get iTunes to see my music on a server

    Hi,
    I have alot of music on a seperate server, how do I get iTunes to see this. I have tried adding it as a folder however when I shut the computer down and come back to it again it can't locate the music. Any ideas?

    Apple provides repeat downloads as a convenience, not a substitute for your computers being the primary source of file transfers.  All your iTunes information such as playlists, ratings, etc. are in a file on your computer, not in the Apple Store.  Typically when you move computers you copy the whole iTunes folder and everything it contains to the new computer.  Moving media files can be done with a drive, or by Home Sharing.  You can also redownload media but let's say somebody desiced Apple may no longer sell a certain album; it cannot be downloaded again but if you already have it on a computer you can move your copy of the file.
    5 authorizations:  Some households have multiple computers.  If you want ot use one with an account it has to be authroized.  It means you can use any computer in the house to make purchaes, etc.
    Okay, my 5 minute typing limit for any one response is up.

  • How can I get iTunes to update play counts and file additions between users on the same computer?

    I have placed my iTunes library in /Users/Shared/iTunes along with iTunes Music Library.XML  
    When I open iTunes, all the music is displayed correctly with playcounts etc...
    The problem is, when a playcount or album info is updated it does not carry over to the other user on the same computer. The same with adding new files to the iTunes library...
    How can I get iTunes to auto-update between users?
    Thanks
