  • I cannot get "home sharing" to work on my Apple TV device

    I cannot get "home sharing" to work on Apple TV.I
    I type in my apple id and password to no avail.
    Why isn't the apple tv device taking this info and activating home share?

    I am having the same problems with Home Sharing using the Apple TV.  The problems seemed to appears to have started within the last week or so.  Did updates and all.   Went to the Apple TV and it couldn't see either Home Share on either computers that Home Share is turned ON.  Reset the routers, reinstalled iTunes on the iMac and MacBookPro.  Created a second Wi-Fi Access point using a Airport Express.  Put the MacBookPro and TimeCapsule on the same network and still no love to see the Home Share contents.
    We have had both Mac's and Apple TV for several years and have never had any problems like this.

  • HT201413 I cannot get home sharing working, using windows 8 . does anyone have a solution?

    i cannot get home sharing on itunes to work using windows 8. I also have Norton 360 and have unstalled and disabled it but still cannot get home sharing to operate so that i can use the remote APP on my ipad to control music through the house. does anyone have a solution or experienced similar issue?

    Hi Pat,
    Yes I marked the question as Assumed Answered. I needed to move on. I have never taken part in a forum and couldn’t wait any longer for any input so not wanting anyone to waste the time answering me, I marked the question as assumed answered. I guess this was the wrong thing to do and I apologize to the forum.
    I did go another route and loaded and enlarged the photo in Photoshop Elements, Then cropped the photo to the area I needed to reprint. I probably should have done this in the first place!
    Again, my apology to the forum for my lack of patience in waiting for a reply.

  • I have the latest AppleTV and Ipad, I cannot get home sharing.

    I have the latest AppleTV and Ipad. I cannot get home sharing working, all settings are correct but nothing happens. I returned to the apple store who connected TV box directly to network with cable and home sharing worked between the 2 devices.
    I went home and switched on, it worked (both on wifi). Next day tried again, thinking it was all there and nothing.
    I tried the tips on the community pages without success. I called Apple helpline, they ran through all my settings which were correct, but still nothing, after 2/3 days they called me back to tell me to wait for Apple software update to solve this problem !!
    is something happening on this issue, please can someone tell me. On my old Ipad I just used a Component cable, but this will not work with the new pad, I got the adaptor plug and nothing happens, no output.
    Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks

    I'd have to Agree, You checked on iTunes to make sure it was Turned on? Check your Router make sure it's working incase, cause sometimes it's the little Things that make it not work.

  • HT4527 Help I cannot get home sharing on to my I pad

    Help I cannot get home sharing to work on my I pad purchased yesterday

    On your computer's iTunes you've turned on home sharing via File > Home Sharing, and in the Sharing tab in Edit > Preferences you have the 'share library' tickbox ticked (I use a Mac, but I assume that it's similar for PCs) :
    On my iPad I'm logged into the same account via Settings > Videos > Home Sharing, both my computer and iPad are connected to the same network (and iTunes on my computer is open), and at the top of the Videos app I get an extra tab :
    You are not seeing the Shared tab in Videos ?

  • TS2972 Apple TV doesnt see my mac's home sharing even though it's turned ON

    I did a recent apple tv update and ever since then, it doesnt recognize my library anymore. EVERYTHING on my apple tv works fine, BUT it's not connected to my library though the HOME SHARING. I've made sure it's turned on within my macbook pro and the apple tv, but the screen keeps telling me to turn on my "home sharing" on the computer. IT'S ON!!!!!
    I've reset the apple tv and re-logged in.
    I've logged out of the home sharing on both devices and turned home sharing back on.
    I've made sure it's connected to the same WIIF network AND even tried it with Ethernet connection, STILL nothing.
    IT WAS WORKING FINE before the update before this past one recently. I have apple care on it, but wanted to see what in the world it could be before i have to call and sit there going thru ALL these procedures i've ALREADY done!!
    PS) I JUST got this Apple TV back in Dec (2011) so im not sure which generation it is, but it was brand new.
    CAN ANYONE HELP ME?!?!
    Thanks so much!

    I have this same problem, just bought the Apple TV today, and I have a mac book pro... I'm noticing there are a LOT of these questions here, but no replies... any luck?

  • Cannot get Home Sharing to work on my iPad, iPad 2 or Apple TV 2

    I am running iTunes on a network-connected Windows PC and I have authorized the PC and turned on Home Sharing. I cannot see my shared library on my iPad, iPad 2 or Apple TV 2.
    In fact, in the left navigation pane in iTunes, I don't see the "Home Sharing" section.
    I have applied all the latest updates to Windows and iTunes as well as iOS for the iPads and Apple TV. I am running Microsoft Security Essentials software. I tried disabling the firewall and it still did not work.
    I tried doing as much as applicable from this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972 and I am not getting anywhere.
    Any help is appreciated.
