HT202213 how to enable home sharing itunes 11

The new iTunes doesn't have anything on the side, how do I enable home sharing? Im on a mac

File, Home Sharing, Turn on home sharing. Enter you apple id and password and create. Then link your other devices to the same home share

HT202213 I have enabled home sharing on both of my computers, however there is no "sharing" option on either device. I tried restarting itunes, turning home sharing on & off, nothing.

Please help! Any suggestions would be great, as the old computer is slowly but surely dying, and I want to put all of my itunes data onto my laptop.

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.

I can't enable Home Sharing in both PC, iPhone 4S and IPad 2. i enabled them but my IPhone couldn't find my iTunes Library in my PC

I can't enable Home Sharing in both PC, iPhone 4S and IPad 2. i enabled them but my IPhone couldn't find my iTunes Library in my PC

The iPhone 5 requirements are:
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later
So, upgrade your MacBook system to Snow Leopard OS 10.6.x Then you can sync both devices.

Please help if you can: I accidentally deleted the IPOD app for my IPAD 3. I need it to enable HOME SHARING. How can I restore or reinstall it? It is not an app I bought, it came on the IPAD from Apple.

Itunes shuts down when I enable Home Sharing

I recently bought an Apple TV 2 and when I enable Home Sharing on my PC, iTunes shuts down.
Is there a fix or a reason for this?

Acutally iTunes just keeps shutting down after a few minutes without going to Home Sharing

HT4352 try settings, sharing and enable what is to be shared...then try enable home sharing in iTunes, mine immediately turned on

i had the same errors, went to my settings on my macbook air, enabled sharing then back into itunes and enabled home sharing and it worked
osx 10.8.3

Success!
I solved my problem by changing guest account passwords. I tried to keep things simple by using the same guest password on both computers. This however allowed FS to log on to TP without guest password for some unknown reason. My logic would tell me that having the same guest password would allow both computers to log in without password but this wasn't obviously the case. I guess Windows has its own logic that I can't figure out or this issue had something to do with different language setups. Anyhow my shares work now like I want them to work.

HT3819 Okay, so I have enabled home sharing. How do I see my desktop library from my laptop?

Okay, so I have enabled home sharing. How do I see my desktop library from my laptop?

Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

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.

Home Sharing iTunes 11.1.5/Mountain Lion/iOS 7

Since updating to iTunes 11.1.5 I am unable to see my shared libraries from my iPhone or iPad running iOS7.
When using the previous version of iTunes, the iOS devices were able to see the shared libraries, but had great difficulty connecting consistently.
The iTunes I am trying to share from is running on 10.8.5.
I have another Mac, running Mavericks. That Mac can see and share the Mountain Lion's library. The iOS devices can see the music from the Mavericks iTunes (also 11.1.5), but can not play it - each song scrolls by as if it has zero length.
All the devices are on an AirPort Extreme network. The Mountain Lion Mac is wired and the rest are wireless. Enabling the wireless network and disabling the wired network on the Mountain Lion Mac doesn't change anything, nor does signing in/out of Apple ID, restarting Music App in iOS devices or many of the other tricks that have been described.
Disabling IPv6 doesn't help, and the AirPort Utility can't see the base station with IPv6 turned off. It's currently set to local-link only, as that solved othe IPv6 issues.

This may be extremely obvious, but I missed it, despite reading http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2972:
There are two places to enable Home Sharing.
I had it enabled in Preferences > Sharing Preferences
However, I did not have it enabled in File > Home Sharing. As soon as I turned it on there, it asked for my Apple ID (which was already signed in to the iTunes Store and iMessage and numerous other locations) and then everything worked correctly.
I don't know if this is left over because I have been running iTunes since there was iTunes and have consistently carried over preferences as I upgrade machines. However, this is a ridiculously awful interface. I had presumed that I definitely had Home Sharing enabled, as I've clearly checked 'Share my library on my local network'.
Hope this helps someone else who has a similar issue.

HT202213 Why doesn't home sharing function?

I have a Mac and an iPad mini w/ the same Apple ID, but h.s. does not show up in my iTunes sidebar. I tried turning it off and on again, but it still doesn't show up. I have no idea what I'm missing, and the support pages didn't give me any clues.

If the Home Sharing icon is not visible, choose File > Devices > Turn On Home Sharing from the menu bar. (You can disable or enable Home Sharing for your computer using the File menu.)
Note: After enabling Home Sharing and clicking Done, Home Sharing is no longer visible until it detects another computer with Home Sharing enabled.
