    Hi there J1750oe,

    Transferring playlists
    If you want not only your content but also your playlists to exist on your new computer, you will want to transfer a copy of all your playlists from your old computer. To do this, choose File > Library > Export Library on your old computer. Save the XML file that is created to your desktop.
    Send the playlists file to yourself as an e-mail attachment, use an external drive, or use file sharing to move the playlists file to your new computer. Once the file is on your new computer, open iTunes and choose File > Library > Import Playlist. The import process will remove any items from the playlists that you didn't share via Home Sharing.

  • HT202213 How do I remove a device from home sharing?

    I have maxed out my 5 iTunes devices for Home Sharing and want my newest laptop to be included.  How do I disable another device from Home Sharing so I can enable the new one?

    Yes, sorry for my crossing up terms, there is a 5-computer limit, but after some digging figured out (read: found helpful posts telling me) to de-authorize all computers and then re-authorize my active ones, so now I've got the right laptops authorized to link up with Home Sharing fx.
    Thanks!

  • HT202213 how do I find the music from home sharing?

    I do have the latest version of iTunes (11.1.5) for both computers and have turned on home sharing with the same account for both.
    If it is a factor in this, I have an iPod touch 1st generation, which is also updated to its latest software version (iOS 3.1.3). IThe computers are Windows 8 and Windows XP.
    Even though homesharing is turned on for both computers, I can't see where I can view the music that has been shared from either computer. Under "Library" there is no option for homesharing -- only Music, Movies, TV shows, iTunes U, and Apps. What button should I be looking for? Where is it? Am I going bliiiiiiiiind??? Thanks guys for any helpful input

    Click the Purchased link in the top-right of the Store home page (below Quick Links).
    In the page that appears, select a category.iTunes shows you which of your purchases are available for download. You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library. Items already in your library aren’t available for download.If you select Music, you can view your purchases by song, artist, or album. If you’re using Album view, click an album to see which songs on it are available for downloading.To search for an item, type its name or a keyword in the search field, and then press the Return key to view your search results.
    To download an item, click the Download button to the right of the item.To download all available items, click Download All.

  • How can I distinguish multiple computers with home sharing?

    I have 2 computers which have Home Sharing turned on. When I use Apple TV it shows both computers and can play videos from both without any problems.
    What I cannot work out is how to change the names of the shares. They both have the same name which appears to be determined by the first name from my itunes account which is sharing files rather than using the name of the library on the computer. So, both computers look identical. I cannot tell which one I am choosing from the list.
    Since most of my videos are on an external hard drive which will only be connected to one at a time, I can only tell if I have selected the correct one when the video plays or shows an error.
    Why does Home Sharing not care what I want to name my library or about the name of the sharing computer? Have I missed something? I know how to change the name of my "shared library" but it is irrelevant to what Apple TV can see.
    It seems pointless to show the name of a shared library if that name is determined by the sharing account when Apple TV can only use one account at a time. Every computer it will allow will be called the same thing.
    If it's relevant, my sharing computers are using Mac OSX 10.7 and Windows 7.

    When I change it to say Matt's library from administrators library, the name changes on my apple tv. I'm not sure about 2 computers though. I would think changing the library name under preferences would work.

  • How to move music to library with home sharing

    How do I move my music from my library under Home Sharing to my regular library?  I don't see an import button or a way I can click and drag....thanks!

    try this:
    use e.g. Subler to add an explicit tag to files, then adjust the parental control preference pane accordingly

  • TS2972 I STILL cannot connect to my 2nd home computer with Home Sharing

    Both of our computers are Toshiba. I have authorized both of them and they show up as parts of the Home Sharing network. However, Neither of our computers show up on the other and I can't figure it out!

  • Problems with home sharing - copy & paste music from one mac to another mac

    Using home sharing and two macbook pros, I am trying to copy and paste music from one of the mac pros to the other.  Sharing appear to be set up properly and the mac allows me to highlight the music i want to copy and then drag it to the music folder . The mac then indicates that fies are being copied...for example, it now says "copying 1 of 10".  However, it never goes beyond this.  After a while I click the "x" and start over, but nothing ever happens.  Anyone have ideas?  This shouldn't be that difficult. 

    no.
    for home sharing to work, all machines need to be on the same network.

  • Trouble with Home Sharing/Airplay from Mac

    I am having an issue trying to access my computer through 2nd gen Apple TV. The software on the device is up to date. I am running OS X Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro with up to date iTunes. I am trying to watch a video in my iTunes library but it will not let me access my computer with home sharing. I have made sure that both devices have home sharing turned on and using the correct account. I am also unable to access my iTunes library with my iPad or iPhone. I have done this successfully in the past so I'm not sure what is causing this. Oh, it also wont let me airplay from iTunes on my Mac to the apple tv.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Same here. iPhone, Mac Mini and Apple TV3 are all up to date. Logged in and out on each device and home sharing and airplay still don't work at all. Nothing shows up in the remote app. They're all on the same network and have been. The only thing I can think of is the most recent ATV firmware update, but why would my phone be unable to see my computer??
    Any secret commands to try?

  • Apple TV Dropping WiFi Connection with Home Sharing

    I am currently having trouble with my Apple TV and Home Sharing. My Apple TV will connect to my WiFI network (which is only 802.11g) and stream from either the iTunes store for movies, and from YouTube using that connection fine. My trouble starts when I try to connect to another computer with Home Sharing. When I try to connect to another computer (my MacBook Pro, for example, which is also on the same WiFi network) to stream content across the network, the Apple TV looses it's connection, and then the router kicks everything else on WiFi off the network. I am using WPA for WiFi security on the router. I turned off WPA, and everything streamed across the network fine, no drop outs on the Apple TV. I can stream from a desktop connected to the router via ethernet fine (with or without the WiFi security enabled). I think it is probably the router (it is just a little DLINK I picked up a little while back), but I wanted another opinion or some troubleshooting ideas before I do.

    I am having this problem too, I also have a dlink router. Everything works fine until I try using homeshare, after a minute or so I lose all wifi router connections on everything connected via wifi, iPad,iPhone and aptv2. I have to wait for the router to reset/restart to use again. It's very odd, it even happens if I connect the atv2 via Ethernet so it's not a wifi glitch.
    Any suggestions?

  • HT3819 How do I share just one movie (not my entire library) from my itunes library with an authorized computer using home sharing?

    How do I share just one movie (not my entire library) from my itunes library with an authorized computer using home sharing?

    many thanks.
    That should be possible.
    From his library connect to your library via Home Sharing.
    Select the name of the shared library in the source pane of your itunes, and click on the wee disclosure triangle to the left of the name of the library. Does "Films" appear beneath the name of the library?
    Here's a screenshot of what I mean.
    Select "Films". In the right-hand pane you should see the item you want to transfer. Just select that item, and click "Import".
    Use the same basic technique to get one or a few songs from your library transferred to his library. (The only difference is that you would have "Music" selected instead of "Films".
    If you don't want him to have access to other items in your library, you could just switch Home Sharing off on his library after you've done the transfers.

    It's confirmed, H.e.l.l. has finally frozen over!  TM drives are now bootable!
    Still it's not a real bootable clone, can't run the computer off the external drive for long in only Recovery mode, still requires the boot drive to be replaced if it not functional, and with TM backing up every hour, isn't going to offer much software protection as the TM drive is just as likely to be as messed up as the internal boot drive.
    For a iMac it still requires the computer to be taken in to Apple for a drive replacement, as ONLY Apple can do it due to proprietary connections and firmware on the iMac hard drives.
    But it is bootable!
    The backup time factor can be controlled using TimeMachine Editor, from every hour to just when the user thinks it's necessary.
    Apple lurches slightly forward!  Hurray!
    Question is, can one restore from earlier stable TM's or just the last one? In this bootable fashion?

    Plug your iPad into your computer. THere may be a delay while it installs drivers but if you can see your iPad in windows explorer, use that to get to your photos.
    Click on your iPad and you should see a DCIM folder. Click thorugh that to find your photos.
    Windows explorer will see your iPad as nothing more than a digital camera, and that's the part you're trying to access.
