  • Internet connection drops when I use Home Sharing with my iPod Touch

    Hi,
    I have two PCs (Windows 7 and Windows Vista) both with iTunes 10.2.1 and an iPod Touch with iOS 4.3.1.
    When I use iTunes' Home Sharing with my iPod Touch, that is, I stream music, podcasts, etc from either one of my PC computers to my iPod Touch, a few minutes later both laptops, as well as my iPod Touch, lose Internet connectivity. While home sharing continues, Internet connection is lost. I have to unplug my modem and wireless router to get back my Internet connection. The problem, however, recurs again and again.
    Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.
    Dave

    I am having the same problem. My MacBook, iPad, iPhone, and even the PC all lose internet connectivity;but home sharing still continues to function properly on ATV2.
    I'm not too savvy on routers and modems, but could the problem be my router's capacity?

  • HT1454 how to set up home sharing in itunes

    Setting up Home Sharing (Apple TV) in iTunes - step 2 - "Choose Advanced" - this does show anywhere?

    The Advanced > Turn On Home Sharing menu shows on your computer's iTunes - where are you looking for it ?

  • HT202213 why after setting up home sharing I do not see all my movies on one of my computers?  I only see the movies I downloaded to the specific computer but no sharing?

    I tried setting up my home sharing on itunes but after doing so on both computers with same id and password, it still does not show the same material as in movies on both imacs, what am I doing wrong or how do I fix.

    Look in Home Video or change the tags in iTunes to Movies.

  • HT202213 How do I, using Home Sharing, move songs from my wife's itunes library to mine, so that I can download them on my iphone5?

    If I understand what I'm reading about Home Sharing, the same Apple ID must be used to share itunes music between different iphones....but we each have or own separate Apple ID.  Am I understanding this correctly?  How do we share the music in our libraries.

    Just copy the files across the network, via a USB flash drive, or external hard drive from one computer to the other.
    Keep in mind the computer must be authorized to play the content which means your computer will need to be authorized for your wife's iTunes account.

  • HT202213 How do I use Home Sharing when my wife an I have had separate Apple ID's?

    The instructions for Home Sharing say to set up the same Apple ID on each device.  What if we have been using different Apple ID's and want to share our music versus constantly duplicating songs over and over.

    Keep in mind we both have our own iPhones and iPads under our own accounts.

  • HT202213 How do I deauthorize home sharing devices without the device?

    Just enabled home sharing between my primary PC and a secondary laptop.  iTunes alerted me that I've now established home sharing on 4/5 devices.  I don't know what the other 2 devices are - how can I deauthorize them?

  • There is instructions on how to set up home sharing, which I followed, but there's no Home Sharing in existence in the pop-up library menus from either of our computers! Help!

    Hi! I have an iMac (mid 2011) and a MacBook Pro (mid 2012). We want to do Home Sharing
    but it is not working. I have some movies on his (all of our movies and media are downloaded
    with the SAME Apple ID --we share the same one) I want on mine. But after I
    Turn on Home Sharing under File in BOTH of ours, nothing happens. What gives?
    The things it says in the help aren't in existence. It says there's Home SHaring in the pop
    up Library menu, well there is not.
    Anyone know what's going on?

    Hi IsACharlee,
    If Home Sharing does not appear to be working after turning it on for both computers, see the additional troubleshooting steps in this article:

  • How to change the "home" computer for a iPod touch 3G (iOS 4.2.1) and an iPad 2(iOS5)? Music library has been already moved to iTunes on the new computer.

    I have a iPod Touch (3rd gen) that has not upgraded it's OS beyond iOS4.2.1 even if I have tried connecting it into iTiunes I have a iPad2 which has been recently upgraded to iOS5 . Both were connected to a laptop computer that my husband will take with him when he moves to a different city. I will most probably buy a second laptop sometime, but meanwhile I want to tether my iPod touch and iPad 2 to my desktop PC for now. Before I took the plunge, I had a few questions which I am hoping this forum will help me answer
    1. How to switch the Home PC for these devices? I have already transfered my Music library on to my Home PC and then downloaded and reorganised with iTunes. Since I am reorganising the library anyway I don't minding removing all my music from the iTouch and set it up from scratch for the music. However, I removed all musci from theiTouch, changed it to manual mode and connected it to the desktop- It's detecting it fine- but it still is not the home computer for the iTouch- everytime I try to put new music in it- it is deleting everything old- I can't see the same controls as I see from the laptop at all- how to rectify this? To I need to set this up as a new iPod (restore route)?
    on the touch I have very few apps and don't care about them. on the iPad I do have a couple of valuable apps that I want to hold on to- so have n't tinkered with it at all- what is the smoothest way for thsi transition? The iPad doesn't have any music on it at this time, but what to do if I want to transfer some?
    2. Is there a way I can store the organised iTunes info in any way- like I said I might buy a new laptop in a few months but do not want to reorganise my iTunes over agaoin- it' a fairly large collection most of which is n't purchased from the iTunes store.
    3. Why sin't my iTouch 3G upgrading- it's stuck on iOS4.2.1 but iTunes doesn't show any updates- even with chck updates button iTunes show that it is a current version.
    thanks for reading through and any help that I can get to sort this mess out.

    The recent release of iBooks 1.2.1 has corrected the problem of the missing Dutton edition of Winnie-the-Pooh. It may have been there with the previous install of iBooks but it would never display in the bookshelf. After updating iBooks to 1.2.1, the Dutton version (the one included with iBooks) suddenly appeared on the bookshelf. So it was a software glitch after all and not a fix Apple chose to document explicitly in the update.

  • HT2534 How to set up Apple ID for kids' iPod touch w/out email or credit card

    The subject pretty much covers it - their mother has the iPods set up under her apple ID but we want to set them up for texting.
    I already found out how to set up iMessage (settings/Messages - on/may have to enter the Apple ID manually/use the green "messages" app to send texts), but the issue is the Apple ID. Thanks!

    You need an email address unique to each Apple ID. Why not just get an email address and create an Apple ID with a credit card?
    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

  • How to transfer music received from home sharing onto my ipod touch, 4th gen?

    I've recently upgraded to itunes 11. I homeshared some songs from my sister, she did the same and it worked with her (she has an iphone 4) The songs are appearing in my music library but not under the tab 'on this ipod'. I have started to erase and sync hoping that that will add the new songs.
    *All of these songs have been acquired legally and bought from the iTunes store with a store gift card* just in case anyone thought there may be a problem with files and the likes.

    For anyone out there you wants to know, I have figured it out. In a lengthy round-about way...
    If anyone else is having this problem where the 'add music' or 'sync music' button is not appearing in itunes and as long as the music is in the main library in itunes. Simply erase and sync. Nearly had a heart attack when itunes said it was downloading only a total of 299 songs, but it has corrected itself and I'm not happy!
