How to use home sharing for more that five Apple TV 2nd?

Hi,
i know that itunes works (with "home sharing" functions activated) only with max n°5 Apple TV 2nd and n°5 Idevices.
Now, i've a problem because i need to have n°10 Apple TV that work in the same time with itunes installed on Mac Mini (lion OSX).
If i use MAC mini with Lion Server OS, the limit for "Home sharing" increase ? or Is possible to use two account for "home sharing" with only one itunes?
Thank you

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Providing all devices are correctly set up on the same home network, you can stream content on your devices to the Apple TV.
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.
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.

Can't figure out how to use home sharing

Since the latest couple iTunes updates, my family and I can not figure out how to use home sharing. Everyone in our household has their own iTunes, and for a long time we would just share our music through home sharing. But with the updates, so much has changed that we can no longer figure out how to use it.
I have a lot of purchased albums on another laptop in the house, that im trying to move it all over to my own iTunes, and I have spent a long time searching the internet, and everything. And I just can't figure out how to do it. So.... how does it work now? I would really like to get these albums from my moms iTunes, onto mine. I would hate to have to buy them all over again.
If anyone is able to help me out here, that would be great! Thanks!

The problem im having is that after I am in another library through home sharing, I can't figure out how to select an album and import it to my library. They used to have it set up so that you just highlight all of the songs you want, and then all you had to do was click import. Now I don't even see an import button, or anything else like it. So im lost... I don't know if it's something im doing wrong, or if our home sharing system just isn't working properly.
Thanks for the help.

Can I use Home Sharing for this...

I have 3 iphones (2 x 6's and 1 x 5), and an ipad, all of which I use one iTunes account. iTunes and Mac software all up to date
Is it possible to use Home Sharing to sync them all exactly the same or is the a better/smarter way to do this.
I have tries to sync them separately and it sort of works when it comes to contacts, apps etc but I want my playlist t be the same and can't seem to get that correct.
Thanks in advance

maybe you could try Evernote (available in APPSTORE) to keep track of your reminders. You could use built-in contacts to save your customers contact though or if you are not satisfied enough with it, search in appstore for everything you need, there's plenty of 'em.

HT202213 how to use home sharing and copy my music to laptop

please can anyone tell me how to copy my i tunes library from my maiin computer to my laptop which has window 8

Why do you want or need to use home sharing?
Simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the existing computer to the new computer and launch iTunes. Everything will be exactly as it was on the old computer.

HT202213 Can I use home sharing on devices with different apple ids?

I have my computer set up with my Id. Can my daughter use home sharing on her device with a different Id?

I do not think so. See:

How to use home sharing.

I have two computers with two different libraries but i just can't get home sharing to work. any ideas?

I assume the the PCs are connected with cables and the hardware is set up. This microsoft article explains it in GREAT detail, perhaps too much detail for more experienced users
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Setting-up-a-home-network
Scroll down to the bottom for the section
*Test your network*
Another quick test is to see if you can put a little notepad file in each PC's Music folder from the other PC.
That will test whether file sharing and permissions are set up correctly.

Can you use home sharing for photos?

I just installed the app Remote by apple. It's for home sharing with iTunes or Apple TV. Can it be used for photos as well? I have an iMac OS X 10.6.8.
Is there an app I can use for viewing and transferring photos over the Internet? Please help. Thank you.

That is really crappy. Oh well thank you

How do use home sharing to import items from other iTunes library?

Okay - the help section in iTunes is not helpful. I am trying to import items from my girlfriend's library and vice versa. We have home sharing turned on. I can see her library and she can see mine. According to the HELP section, I should be able to choose a cateogry i.e. MUSIC. Then there is supposed to be a "Show" menu at the bottom of the iTunes window and I should choose "items not in my library" then select the items I want to import and click import.
PROBLEM: I can choose a category but there is no SHOW Menu at the bottom of the iTunes window which allows me to select items and import them into my library.
Suggestions???

Well I guess I am not sure now that you asked.
In ITunes - under "Preferences" I have Sharing turned on so it says sharing my library on local network.
AND
In ITunes - under "File" I have Home Sharing turned on.
Does this answer your question?

HT3819 how to use home sharing using a different apple id?

I use to have a regular ipod where I would buy music from itunes using my parents email account and apple id, but now I have an ipod touch where I set it up using my own email and apple id, how do I transfer my music from my parents desktop to my laptop? I'm having difficulties doing so because we don't use the same apple id. Is there a way this can be done?

You could copy the music to a DVD to your laptop then authorize it to play the songs purchased with that other Apple ID.

Home Sharing between more than five computers

Our family has 1 IMac, 2 MacbookPros, 2 iPhones, and 2 Ipads. I'm trying to set up Home Sharing between all devices and computers. Everything works except when I tried to set up our new IMac and got the message "Cannot setup more than 5 computers.....". Been looking all over the Apple support area and have as yet found anything. Hopefully I'll get a response here. Whoever helps, know in advance it is very much appreciated - Thank you.

The limit of 5 computers applies to computer authorisations only. There is a limit to associated devices such as iPods etc but this also includes any authorised computers.
Could you have perhaps had previous computers that you did not de-authorise before you parted with them. You can see how many computers are authorised by visiting your account settings in iTunes on your computer.

How do I use home sharing for music and apps from different devices that already have Apple IDs? We have music from CDs and iTunes.

We have a iPhone 3G used as an touch, a 4S and 2 5s that I would like to share the music and possibly the pictures but i dont know how to set it up since we all have our own Apple IDs. Please help.

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.

Can I use home sharing for AppleTV with Time Capsule and have my iMac powered off?

I wish to be able to use AppleTV without having my iMac powered on. Is there a way to have my iTunes library on my Time Capsule so I can use AppleTV directly from it?

I use an external hard drive with my iMac and have an iTunes folder there (that sometimes it points to automatically, but sometimes I have to go under advanced and show the iMac to use that iTunes folder because it defaults to the internal iTunes folder on the computer).
Make sure the external drive is powered on and mounted on the desktop before launching iTunes.

Can you use home sharing for computers in different states or does it have to be in the same house on the same wifi network?

I want to be able to share my library and access my fiance's as well, however currently he is in a different state. Do we have to be on the same network fo us to have access to our libraries or can it be done over the internet?

That is really crappy. Oh well thank you

HT202213 I have 3 users on one computer with 3 unique user accounts. Each have unique ITunes accounts. How do we share our music libraries using home sharing?

I have 3 users on one computer with 3 unique user accounts. Each of us have separate and unique ITunes accounts. How do we share our music libraries using Home Sharing? Everything that I can find talks about sharing between networked computers, but this is all on the same computer. I just want to share between ITunes accounts. Thanks!

Hi b noir, I also have two users on one pc with two different iTunes libraries. But I also want to put them onto an external hard drive so that I can free up some memory on the pc. So I figure I need to consolidate the two users iTunes libraries first before moving to hard drive? But not quite sure how to do that on the iTunes 11? Thanking you in advance!!
