HT1386 syncing using home shared library.

I was trying to sync from my home shared library on a secondary laptop to an iPod and it would change the name of the file of some songs but not all.  Then I tried it from the primary PC where the songs are located and it did the same thing.  How do I stop it from doing this?  Thanks.

Hello jmcole1,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that some of your TV Shows are not showing on your iOS devices after updating to the latest iOS version. I also understand that you have performed some great troubleshooting steps already. In this situation, just to make sure all suggested troubleshooting steps for this situation have been completed, I would suggest working through the information in the attached article.

  • Is there anyway to sync videos shot from an iPad to an iTunes library using home sharing instantly?

    Hey everyone. So at work we are trying to figure out another way to shoot speeches and have them available for the customer to review instantly. We were thinking about using Home Sharing to do this, to sync these videos to an iTunes library. However, it seems to only work the other way around, from iTunes to the iPad. The problem is is that when you take videos or pictures with your iPad they go immediately to your camera roll. Is there any way to sync videos you have taken with the iPad to iTunes using Home Sharing? Thanks!

    Not sure about the Home Sharing method.

  • Sync new versions of apps using Home Sharing?

    I sync my iPad and iPhone off of my laptop, but keep a backup of my library on another computer using Home Sharing. This works great for almost everything I do, however it will only import an app that isn't in the library, it won't import updated versions of apps already in the library.
    Is this a designed feature or a bug within iTunes? I keep my laptop's apps pretty up-to-date and would love to not see 47 apps wanting to be updated in my backup library the day after iOS4 comes out after I've already updated them on my main library.
    Clear as mud?

  • How do I share my iTunes library to an iPad without using "Home Sharing"?

    I have set up my iTunes library to be shared with others over our home network.  This is the "Share your library" option, and NOT "Home Sharing" since my wife has her own Apple ID and I, unfortunatly, have 2.  She was wanting to listen to our music on her iPad but could not figure out how to access the shared library.  The "Music" app (click more, select library) only seems to work for Home Shared libraries.  (In fact, I had tried Home Sharing first and when I turned it off, all of the buttons at the bottom of the Music app's screen disappeared - note:  she has no music stored on the iPad.)
    So, how can an iPad access a shared iTunes music library without using Home Sharing?
    (iPad 2, iOS 6; Mac 10.8, iTunes 10 because 11 totally inhibits my ability to use my iPod the way I want.)

    -> Home Sharing is different than logging into the iTunes store.
    You enable Home Sharing using one AppleID. Doesn't matter which you use but all devices must use the same AppleID for Home Sharing.

  • I am trying to use home sharing with my computer and someone's ipad, will i still be able to transfer stuff in the library like it normally does on two computers

    I want to share the library from my friend itunes to my computer but I am not using a computer to share I am using an iPad 2. Am I still going to be able to transfer the library from the iPad to my computer

    Hi ashleymartinsmith!
    I have an article for you that may help you understand Home Sharing a little better:
    Understanding Home Sharing
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819
    Home Sharing in iTunes is designed to let you easily share your iTunes media libraries between up to five computers in your household. You can also use Home Sharing to play your iTunes content on your iOS devices and Apple TV (2nd generation) if they are connected to your home Wi-Fi network.
    The important thing to note here is that all connected devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network for Home Sharing to be functional. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers.

    I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers. and both are on a stable wireless connection

    Logging into itunes store on each machine wth different Apple IDs is OK Autorising each others machines with the other Apple ID is OK. This is completley separate from Home Sharing
    For Home Sharing to work you need to
    File > Home Sharing > Create Home Share.
    You need to select one of the two Apple IDs you are using and ENTER THIS ON BOTH MACHINES WHEN CREATING THE HOME SHARE.
    Home sharing will then work

  • HT202213 When using home sharing, can you copy music permanently from an iTunes library to an iPod touch?

    When using home sharing, can you copy music prmanently from a iTunes library to an iPod touch? Is it possible when home sharing music from my Mac to an iPod touch, can you copy the shard music on the ipod touch in to the ipods library?

    Not that I have found via a Google search

  • When I use Home sharing, I can see the library I want to copy, but when I highlight the library, the import button does not show up. Also, it will not let me drop and drag. How do I get music from one computer to the other computer?

    When I use Home Sharing, I can see the library I want to copy under Shared, but I can't get it save on the computer under the regular library. I go to edit and "select all" but there is no import button that is in the right hand corner. Also, it will not let me click and drag the music. How do I get it from one computer to the other?

    Since both computers are connected via the network, you could simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from one computer to another via the network.
    If both computers are running Windows, use the Easy File Transfer Utility built into Windows to move iTunes and all other user media/data.

  • HT3819 I can use remote on my iPhone to connect with my iTunes library, but i can't connect to another computer using home sharing to access apple tv.  I have used the same access ID and password that is used for the apple tv.

    I can use the Remote app on my iphone to connect with my itunes library on my computer, but I can't connect to the Apple TV using home sharing with another computer in the house.  I am using the same ID and password that the apple tv uses to connect with the other computer.  Also how do I check what version of IOS that my iphone is using?

    Version:
    iOS Settings>General About (or it'll say when you hook it up to iTunes)
    Are all the devices on the same physical network?  I think you're saying all are set up using the same home sharing credentials.
    If you've not done so restart all devices and your router.
    If you can get any of the devices connected by ethernet to reduce the wifi burden that may help but to be honest I would not expect simply beoing on wifi to prevent devices/computers appearing in the list.
    Does the other computer have any firewall or port blocking software running?

  • My apple tv 2 says I can't stream music from my iTunes library on my iMac without settng up iTunes Match. I don't want to set up iTunes match. How can I get back to the pre-Match system which let me just use home sharing to stream music from computer to A

    When I click on the Music tab on my Apple TV 2, a message tells me I have to set up iTunes Match to stream music from my iTunes library on my iMac. I don't want to set up and pay for iTunes Match. How can I get back to the pre-Match system which let me just use home sharing to stream music from computer to Aple TV

    Ditto.
    You need to look for your itunes library under Computers and select it, then music.
    Music column is for web based content not local content, just to confuse everyone.

  • How do I use home sharing between 2 PCs to transfer my itunes library music?

    I have turned on homesharing on both my old and new computer but it won't transfer the music i have uploaded and downloaded to my new computer. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Hey Louisebun,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The following article outlines the steps of moving music to a new computer using Home Sharing. It is good to note that this option allows you to share music between multiple computers if you continue to use both, but it doesn't create a lasting backup. To create a lasting backup, use an external drive or CDs or DVDs.
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    I've highlighted some of the key steps below:
    On your new computer:
    7. Click the Store menu and choose Authorize computer. Enter your Apple ID and password (that was listed in the Advanced menu in step three or used in step 5).
    8. Choose Advanced > Turn On Home Sharing from the menu bar.
    9. Select the Home Sharing icon on the left side of iTunes.
              Note: Once Home Sharing is enabled, the Home Sharing option disappears from the left side of iTunes until a Home Share library is found from another computer.
    10. Once your new computer sees the Home Share from your old computer, click that Home Share on the left side of iTunes on your new computer.
    11. Select the content in the Home Share that you want to transfer to your iTunes library on your new computer, or choose Edit > Select All to choose all of it. Then, click the Import button in the bottom-right corner of iTunes.
    12. Wait for the content to finish transferring.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Can I use home sharing (on my mac using my other computers library) even if I'm not in a WiFi zone?

    I have used Home-Sharing on my Dell Laptop and now my Mac. My mac uses the Dell's library and I was wondering whether I would have to be using the same WiFi code or whether I could be on a different WiFi or even have none and still use it?

    You'd need both computers to be connecting to the same wifi network in order to Home Share.

  • HT3819 Can I use Home Sharing to permanently Transfer my old iTunes Library to a new macbook pro?

    Hi,
    I have a quick questoin regarding iTunes Home Sharing. 
    1. Can I use Home Sharing to transfer music from my iTunes Library on my old Power Mac to iTunes on my new MacBook Pro?
    2. If I deauthorise iTunes on my old Power Mac will I lose my music on my new iTunes Library on my Macbook Pro - essentially are the two somehow linked together? I want to erase my old HD, wipe it clean, chuck it in a case and use as a back up storage, and then sell my old Power Mac.
    Thanks in advance.
