    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?

  • How do you do home share with in different accounts on the same computer?

    How do you homeshare within different log in accounts (and itunes accounts) within one computer?

    Simply connect them.  One computer with one iTunes can manage multiple devices.  They're tracked by S/N but you might wish to assign them unique names so that you can track them yourself.
    The only minor issue is app updating and purchases while on the computer.  It's necessary to log out and back in to the "correct" ID.  Much easier to do these things from the iPods.

  • How can I get Home Share to work for iTunes??  I've followed the instructions but one I have activated Home Share, there is no "Shared" heading to link to my other computer.  It (the word "Shared") disappears after I turn on Home Share.

    I followed the instructions, but once I turn on "Home Sharing", the word "Shared" disappears from the left hand column of the iTunes window.  So, where can I link to my other computer so I can share my music??

    Make sure that the iTunes version is updated on your computers that you are using for Home Sharing.  Also, I think that all of the computers have to be on with iTunes pulled up while you are trying to transfer data.
    You have to have Home Sharing turned on with both computers.  If you do have Home Sharing turned on with all of your computers, are your 'Shared' computers all authorized under the same account?  If not, they should be.
    Have you checked 'Share my library on my local network' in preferences?  You should have the box checked for both computers.
    I hope this helps!

  • How do you get Home Sharing back?

    I was checking out the Home Sharing option on iTunes 9, and I accidentally clicked the option that got rid of it. I recently fixed my internet, and I really want to use Home Sharing, but don't see the option anywhere.

    Go to the iTunes -> Advanced menu and select "Turn on Home Sharing".

  • When you delete an app from your homescreen it is still in the cloud, does that mean you still have the app, and how do you get it back on to the home screen

    When you delete an app from your homescreen it is still in the cloud, does that mean you still have the app, and how do you get it back on to the home screen. new to ipad so do not know much. Anybody know.p

    As long as the app remains in the store then you can re-download it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app, or via the Purchased Link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    Similarly ibooks can be re-downloaded, and depending upon what country that you are in then music, films and tv shows may also be re-downloadable (if they remain available in the store).

  • How do you get ical to show on your home screen?

    How do you get ical to show on your home screen? I deleted it from my homescreen (somehow) and i want to get it back.

    Just open the International preferences panel, go to Times, Customize, and click on the leftmost number (hours). A small triangle lights up, and a pop-up list of various formats opens. Just select the one you like (1-24 or 01-24). Make sure to set the Date & Time preferences to 24-hour clock first.

  • HT4527 How on earth do you get Home Sharing to work properly?  We have tried multiple times and it simply doesn't work for us!

    How on earth do you get Home SHaring to work?  We have tried numerous times and it simply doesn't work for us!

    Turn it on.
    Honestly, if you want help it is generally a good idea to ask a specific question and give some details of what problem is occurring.
    If trying to move media, using home sharing is simply a bad idea.  Follow some of the other instructions in the article from which the question was posted to move media.

  • How do you get Voice Memos off the iPhone and onto my Mac???

    Is this yet another iPhone dead end??
    I used the Voice Memo app that comes with the iPhone to record some rehearsals and now I want to move them to my Mac, edit them, make CDs, share online.
    I can't find any way to get them off the iPhone, unless I click the "Share" button, which means I can email them. But, it won't let me email the longer ones. I don't know how large the files are, but it just won't do it. I don't see any other facility for moving these files to my Mac. What is up with that???? iTunes provides no access to these files.
    Is there some proprietary utility for the Mac that will allow me to access these files and move them to my Mac??? It would be nice if the iPhone would show up as a mounted volume which I could then browse for files, but that would make too much sense and be contrary to the control freak nature of Apple and it's iPhones/iPod Touches. I would call it another lousy user experience, but it's just a user non-experience, a complete dead end.
    Is there any way to get these Voice Memo files off of the iPhone besides emailing them??

    Thank you for replying!
    That kb article refers to the iPod Nano and not the iPhone nor the iPod Touch.
    The Synchronizing section you pointed to does not work. I have a big bunch of voice memos on the iPhone. I tried the sync. Three of them were moved to the Mac, the rest were ignored. Four others were moved to iTunes Music/Music/Unknown with numbered names (i had given several of the voice memos names with the Custom label on the iPhone). For the synch I selected "Include voice memos."
    After a sync, or several syncs, none of the other voice memos were moved to the Voice Memo playlist, nor are they in the iTunes Music library.
    How do you get them to sync? I need to move them off of the iPhone and onto my Mac!

  • How do you use home sharing to send an album from a pc to an iphone?

    I just got an iphone 5 and am trying to move purchased music from my husband's itunes to my phone.  I've enabled home sharing, the music is on my iphone but will only play when his computer is on and sharing is enabled.  How do I permantley add it to my phone?  Is that allowed??

    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?"
