How to fix Home Sharing with new iOS 7 upgrade

My Home Sharing wont work now I have updated my iPhone and iPad to the latest iOS.  How do you fix this?

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
The following article(s) may help you.

  • Any ideas on how to fix ipad after the new iOS 7 update? My battery will not charge, my ipad is hot to the touch, the iTunes Store won't open, and my messages on Facebook aren't showing up when I chat and pintrest won't pin to my boards.

    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

  • Screen ipad doesn't respond during video viewing home sharing with multiple iOS devices simultaneously

    A have a problem with the videos app and iTunes home sharing on multiple iOS devices.
    This is my setup. On my iMac 2006 with Snow Leopard I have:
    - 100+ dvd's ripped in my iTunes movie section
    - 600+ episodes ripped in iTunes TV-section in 35 TV-shows
    - 1 apple tv, 1 iPad 2, 1 iPad mini
    On an average evening my family is watching different tv-shows simultaneously on the apple tv, the ipad, an iphone, and an ipad mini.
    This is done through home sharing on the one iTunes library.
    All updated apps, software etc..
    What happens on the ipads, after viewing for more than 10 minutes, the user interface doesn't show up when tapping the screen. The touchscreen doesn't respond, only the home button works. Clicking the home button closes the app, but the sound of the video keeps on playing. Opening up the videos app again gives a black screen with sound still playing and still no button or UI.
    The only workaround which currently works is killing the videos app. Power off the ipad and power on again, reconnect to the shared library, wait until it has found all the content (1+ minutes) and startup the tv show again.
    All in all, a nasty way to pause your viewing or switching to another movie of tv episode, or even wanting to finish viewing.
    The problem has haunted me for a year now, patiently waiting and hoping software-updates would fix it. They didn't.
    A fix would obviously hugely improve my user experience, getting it on par with Apples usual quality of service.
    Anyone familiar with this problem? Apple: is it possible to fix it in an update?

    Same here for over a year now.
    You cant imagine how happy i am that im not the only one with this problem.
    many of frinds have the same setup as me (ipad 2, 27"imac, express, apple tv 2)
    No problem
    I had the problem on Snow Leopard, lion and now on mountain lion.
    I'am also starting to get a new problem - sometimes when waching a movie on iPad or ATV it just quits the movie and you have to start it again
    on the iPad most of the time it also shows the wrong cover art. I tried all the hints here, and i works for a day or two then its wrong again
    I store my itunes library on an external drive - you ???

  • HT202213 Trying to activate home sharing with new iTunes update, says error #5506, any ideas?  Worked great before this update!

    I'm trying to use home sharing with the latest iTunes update.  Keep getting error message 5506-any idea how to resolve this error and share at home?

    Well, I tried a few other things and one worked but again just the first time I tried connecting to the desktop PC with iTunes. I flashed my router with the latest update and the ATV2 could see the iTunes library and I was able to play media. Later in the day I was going to show off to my daughter that I had fixed it and, to my dismay, no go. I tried opening the suggested ports but no luck.
    I then tried loading iTunes on a Win7 laptop and it works perfectly with the ATV2. Both the laptop and the ATV2 are connected to the router wirelessly while the Desktop is connected to the router by Ethernet. Not sure if this is part of the issue as it sounds like this didn't work for others. The only other difference between the laptop and desktop is that the desktop has Win7 SP1 loaded while the laptop does not; now I'm scarred to load it though I don't think that's the issue. All in all, a very vexing situation. Hopefully Apple comes up with a solution soon.

  • IPad 3 with new ios 6 upgrade...bookmarking problem. Help?!

    Maybe you can help me since i am not finding anything concerning my problem. I have an ipad 3. I have also updated it with the new ios 6 upgrade. After this upgrade all bookmarks were lost. But thats not a major issue at the moment. The issue is that I can't seem to add any bookmarks at all. The bookmarks section shows up blank. As if the menus aren't working.  Every time I try to add a bookmark, nothing shows up in the list. It won't even let me add anything to the "read later". Any idea whats up?? I have been trying to figure this out since the upgrade. Nothing is being detected.
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    p.s
    Please don't post a link on how to add bookmarks. I know how. It's just after the upgrade recently the bookmarks and **** are not working at all. I have read and searched everything and it's all the generic "help" stuff that does not apply to my problem.

    Fyi ... I can add a bookmark and it does not save or show up menu (its always blank). I can do the same for the reading list...and still nothing is the list.

  • Is there a way for multiple users to connect to my home sharing with their iOS device to select music to stream to my A/V receiver jukebox style?

    I have an A/V receiver that I can connect to and select music to stream over my network but I want to know if I have a party if it's possible for multiple users to have access on their own devices to my home shared music and select music to play like a jukebox.

    I almost forgot that using folders can allow each folder to contain a song. I also recall touch tracks or one key play...

  • How I Fixed a Broken 'AirDrop' Following iOS 8 Upgrade

    Prior to upgrading my iPad Mini (retina) and iPhone 5S from iOS 7+ to iOS 8, AirDrop had been working perfectly for transferring files to, from and among my mobile devices.  It was a great disappointment to discover that, after all the anticipation of iOS 8's slick, new features, I was disappointed to find that the AirDrop functionality was no longer working at all.  That is, even though it was enabled on both the sending device and target device, neither device could 'discover' the other, though both are on the same Wi-Fi network.
    After fiddling around for a couple hours, trying various 'fixes' suggested by others, I suddenly realized that I hadn't yet tried the remedy usually suggested for situations like this (i.e. an unresponsive (frozen) device or functionality) viz., a reset. Of course, people generally suggest first doing a simple reboot of the device before doing a reset, but I had already tried turning each device off then back on, but to no avail.
    Anyway, for those of you reading this who haven't yet attempted this reset procedure, I'll detail exactly what I did to get my iPad Mini and iPhone back to full, AirDrop functionality:
    1.  First, I powered off the device;
    2.  Next, I pressed and held down on the Home Button.
    3.  At the same time, I pressed and held down the Sleep/Wake Button ahd kept pressing down (i.e. on both buttons) for about 10 seconds, until the Apple appeared on the screen, at which point I released both buttons and let the device continue to open.
    I'm only saying that It worked for me!  If you haven't thought to try a simple Reset, now would be a good time to give it a shot.
    Best regards,
    Bill

    Thanks a ton! This worked when everything else failed.

  • Bettery life with new iOS 7 upgrade

    My battery is draining after 4 hours and it was fine before I installed the upgrade. Is there something I need to adjust??

    There are several things you can do to preserve your battery life. Turn off things you don't use. For example, if you don't use Bluetooth, make sure it is turned off. Also, the new Parallax effect should be turned off. Sure, it looks cool, but it uses up battery.

  • No home sharing with out Apple have your credit card !!!!!!!!!

    Is there soneone out there - that know how to enable home sharing - with out give up your credit card information to Apple !!!!!
    This goes for the Apple ID - that need to "setup" (read give more money to Apple) - and wants your credit card info to complete
    and it seem like if your skip that part in the Apple ID part - your can not use Home sharing

    Thanks, for telling us how to get an Apple ID without a credit card [sarcasm].
    I found out be someone other than an Apple employee how to get an Apple ID without using a credit card...
    You register for the Apple ID by going through your iTunes application instead of going straight to the internet via a browser. There will be a "NONE" icon to click, right next to the credit cards and Pay Pal icons, on the credit card page of the registration. That's how I FINALLY was able to get my Apple ID so I can use Home Sharing for my AppleTV.
    Just to show how cheap the reply was to my question above [via Slash_Gordon/the account that won't allow me into the Apps Store, and won't give me a workable Apple ID for Home Sharing]... Apple sent me a cheap reply today, leading me to this useless conversation thread which had no answer to my problem, which now has the answer in this comment>>
    Go to the iTunes Store through your iTunes application [not your internet browser] > Click on "App Store" at top of page > Click on "Sign In" > A small window opens > Click on "Create Apple ID" > another page will appear in the iTunes application > Click on "Continue" > Agree to their "Terms and Conditions" by checking the "agree" square > Then click on "Agree" > Fill out all the "Provide Apple ID Details" on the next page > Then click on the "NONE" on the credit card/PayPal page and fill out the rest below... not the credit card info, though... finish up. That "NONE" icon is the key, which doesn't appear when we try to register via an internet browser.
    It seems, Apple is purposely being vague so they can get credit card info. I wish they would prove it isn't true by actually giving me the needed info in my email, instead of leading me to a converstion thread which had no solution to the problem. They should have a Support page giving the solution... of course, they'll say they do have one, and really don't. Well, now you have the solution right here, thanks to someone that gave me the solution when I Googled long enough for it.
