How do I use home-sharing on the Apple TV?

I turned on home sharing on iTunes, but when I go to apple TV to listen to music or other things it says I have to turn it on in iTunes, which I already did. I even have the account associated with the TV for purchases. What else do I have to do?

Morning Saintine,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Home Sharing enables you to stream or transfer music, movies, TV shows, apps, and more among up to five authorized computers in your household. To do so, you will need to Turn on Home Sharing on each computer using the same Apple ID.

How do I use home sharing with the new iTunes to put a movie on my iPad

My husband and I each have separate iTunes accounts since we both have iPhones. However we share an apple TV and an iPad, both of which are usually under my account. It used to be that since we had home sharing activated that we could have movies that he purchased with his account on the iPad along with the movies that I purchased with my account. However when we updated to the new iTunes I could not put movies that he purchased with his account (he had a gift card so we used his account instead of mine) onto the iPad. So now we have a movie for our kids that they can only watch on his phone. I want to know what the trick is to "sharing" the movie between our accounts/devices mainly the iPad and Apple TV so that I don't have to wipe the iPad and change accounts on it just for my kids to watch a movie.

Multiple users, devices & Apple IDs in the house. Can we, and how would we, use Home Sharing?

We have three users in the house, each with their own Apple ID, using multiple mac/PC devices. Can we and how would we use Home Sharing to share music, apps, etc?

Do you have a computer. You can't share music or apps from one mobile device to another. To share photos you need to use photo stream shared albums.

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?"

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.

Can I use home sharing at the office?

I use Home Sharing at home with my son. Can I also use Home Sharing at the office with my co-workers?

Can I also use Home Sharing at the office with my co-workers?
So long as you're all connecting to the same wifi network, it's technically possible.
You might want to check in with your IT folks to see how many routers are running the wifi network, though. (Home Sharing can be tetchy for some folks with multiple-router set-ups.)

How do i use home.html in the first Jboss example

how do i use home.html in the first Jboss example? i got the example to work through the command line method. i also got the CD example to work.
the documentation does not tell you how to use the home.html file. the file suggests that i can call the servlet because it has this line:
<form action="InterestServlet" method="POST" >
from my knowledge of servlets, i should be able to put the home.html file in the same directory that the servlet is in, and as long as a web browser can access it in that location, then this should work... right?
can someone tell me specifically what they did to get it to work? i CANNOT FIGURE OUT what the servlet URL is. my first guess would be http://localhost/servlets/InterestServlet . This doesnt work. Does anyone understand where i am coming from??
I am using ANT, and the normal install of the latest JBoss. i do not have a web server running because the JBoss server says in the console "[INFO,WebService] Starting
[INFO,WebService] Started webserver with address: null port: 8083
[INFO,WebService] Codebase set to: http://thor:8083/
[INFO,WebService] Started" and so i assume there is a web service there?????

ADDENDUM:
i still cant figure out my servlet question, so please help, if you can.
i just figured out that i need to download the JBoss Tomcat/Catalina server. I got it running except that the Catalina web server only is working when i run it standalone, and i cant figure out why. It keeps throwing this exception:
[INFO,EmbeddedCatalinaServiceSX] StandardHost[localhost]: MAPPING configuration error for request URI
[ERROR,EmbeddedCatalinaServiceSX] HttpProcessor[8080][4] process.invoke

Home sharing on the apple TV only shows itunes purchased music,not my whole music library.

Home sharing on the apple TV only shows itunes purchased music,not my whole music library. I can not find any settings to fix this issue.
How do I get home sharing to see the entire library?

AppleTV 2 and 3's main icon Music section is a shambles.
There should be a Music store as there was on AppleTV1. Crazy you can't access Purchases unless subscribed to itunes Match.
As Winston says you are probably not looking in the correct place for local streaming of your music library.

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.

I am having a problem with homesharing on my apple tv. The email address on my tv is different than what I am registered with. How do I correct the email address that is being displayed under home sharing on the apple tv?

turn off home sharing on apple tv, then turn it on again, entering new credentials. Apple-TV works very reliably with home sharing unlike iDevices which don't
