I have an Apple TV 2nd Gen, iPad 2 and can't get the icon to appear when i swipe from left to right. What am I missing?
I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.
Also using IPad 2 I am able to get the ITunes to accept the user name and same password as the Mac.
However, the only way I can see the 'Home sharing; icon is in Music on the Ipad. When I tap on the Icon it asks for a password.
When I give the same password, it is rejected.
Help!!!!

Personally I think the iOS devices are poor at reconnecting - Airplay establishes that a link is available but when the iPhone/iPad has been away from the house and rejoins the network i think AppleTV already thinks it's connected with a different IP address and fails to recognise it has joined the network again with new credentials.
Something along those lines anyway.
I find that a combination of restarting AppleTV, router and iOS device tends to fix it, but not for everyone.

Can i have two internet connections connected to two airport extremes separately without disturbing the home sharing option.

can i have two internet connections connected to two airport extremes separately without disturbing the home sharing option. i want to have both the airport extremes to use a single imac for streaming music or video to my apple tv's at different places where one apple tv is in the range of one airport extreme.it's not a problem if both airport extremes have different wifi id's with separate internet.The imac which i use for streaming the music and videos is only in the range of only one airport extreme.is it possible if i can stream music or videos to my apple tv which is not in the range of same airport extreme which i use for imac but in the range of other airport extreme.
Finally what i need is i want to use two internet networks as my highest possible internet bandwidth is about 1mbps.and i know that i cant mix both the networks and make it as 2mbps.

Yes, that is possible. Please check out the following Apple Support article for details on how.

HT4972 So if I have a 1st or second gen ipod touch, where can I get old versions of apps that run on it?

So if I have a 1st or second gen ipod touch, where can I get old versions of apps that run on it?

An iTunes library you previously downloaded those versions to, or a backup of that library.

Can't see the Home Sharing Icon

I can't see the home sharing icon on the left hand itunes menu despite having activated the home share in the advanced settings tab. Can anyone help?

Hey I had the same problem,
Thanks to you I found it.
It's not supposed to be there, once you activate it it goes away.
If you want to see it, go to the advanced tab, click turn it off, then turn it back on, but don't say DONE on the last step or it hides it.
If you go to other computers or laptops it should probablly be there if that's how you configured it...
hopefully that helps, (:

Are you sure ? As far as I know an Apple ID can only be associated with one email address.
Go to My Apple ID and click Manage your account

Apple IDs cannot be deleted.
Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

HT2729 I have limited space on my new ipad. How can I limit the number of songs from my itunes on my imac from going to my ipad when I connect the two?

I have limited space on my new ipad. How can I limit the number of songs from my itunes on my imac from going to my ipad when I connect the two?

you can do this by keeping the external hard drive connected and doing the following
-hold shift key down on computer while opening iTunes and a prompt will appear to choose a library
-select choose library, iTunes should bring up your explorer windows where you can search for the external HD
-after you find the external HD find the iTunes folder you just copied to it
-after opening the iTunes folder look for the file that says iTunes library.itl or if you can't see that extenstion just look for a document looking thing in the iTunes folder that shows up as a database file
-double click the database file and boom iTunes should load your library without having to copy it to the computer
PS: do make sure that if you are going to do it this way, make sure that the external HD is connected at all times, because if you don't then you will get exclamation marks next to your iTunes songs
double PS: if you are unsure how to find out if the iTunes library file is a database file just right click it and choose properties and under the type it should say database file
hope this helps:)

Can't get iTunes "Home Sharing" to work...

Before we switched to FIOS, we had Comcast and the Home Sharing on iTunes worked fine. Now, some setting must be different because I can't get the libraries from 2 different computers to "talk" to each other. I have all the settings in iTunes correct, but each doesn't "show up" on the other's network.
Any suggestions?

Log into the router and select the Advanced settings. There's a item to dump the router configuration on that screen -- it'll download a file to your PC-- you can just open it with Notepad is it's just a text file.

Apple TV (2nd gen) suddenly will not let me get onto network.

I have tried resetting my Apple TV and router; I can usually see the network name when I go to connect, but it will not connect when I put in password. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere? I have Windstream internet service and recently made some changes with the internet service, so I am guessing a configuration is off somehow. Apple TV will let me to go Troubleshooting but only tells me things to check; will not let me into the IP Address settings etc. I am stumped.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer).

How can I access the Home Sharing Library from my iPad?

We have an ipad 2 with ios 7, and an imac with itunes 11.1.3
Just heard about home sharing and want to use this - surprised we haven't heard of it before
home sharing is turned on in itunes (file > home sharing).
home sharing is on for the ipad (settings > music)
They are both connected to the same wifi network (usually our computer doesnt use wifi and is wired, but we turned wifi on just for this)
When I open music in the ipad (even after continually quitting and reopening the app) there is no 'more' button in the bottom right that there is supposed to be.
What is wrong? How do I access the library from the ipad? Help please!

Welcome to the Apple community.
More does more than home sharing, so it's odd that it isn't there, even if home sharing wasn't working for some reason. Are you sure you are in the music app and not the iTunes App.

I just replaced my ipod touch 2nd gen with another how can i get my itunes back

i just replaced my ipod touch 2nd gen with the same model and cant seem to get my iyunes back

Don't understand question, Changing iPod shouldn't affect iTunes on the computer you sync with. Plug in new iPod, it should take you through some screens of options asking how you want to setup the new iPod.
Just did this when going from 7+ year old iPod video to iPod Touch 5th gen.

I have a serial number of my iPad, but I can't find the date of purchase!

Hello,
I have an iPad 2. I would like to know if the warranty has expired and I put the serial number into the apple support box for verifying the warranty.
Well, it says that has expired, but the thing is that I don't know when the date of purchase was. I need help, because I supposed that the iPad came with the AppleCare Protection Plan and it was purchased as well.
Does anyone knows where can I finde the date of purchase?
Thanks!

The product registration page will show if the product is covered by AppleCare or not. go to Product Registration and see what shows up for your iPad 2.

HT204053 I have multiple apple devices, 2x phones ipad etc, but all are through the same email and I only get the storage space for one device, what should I do?

I have multiple devices all under the same id and email but I don't get multiple icloud storage space and it's running out!
Can anyone help as I've just bought an iphone for my daughter and would like to link it as well.
Thanks in anticipation of your help.

One icloud account gets a 5 GB of storage, regardless of the number of devices connecting to it. But you're in luck, you can buy more storage for the account if you are running low.
As for your daughter, be sure to get her own icloud account, otherwise she'll end up getting all your email, contacts, etc. And if she deletes any of this data, it will be deleted on your devices as well. Note: you can all keep using the same ID for the itunes store for sharing purchased items.
To create a new icloud account, go to
