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.

Can home sharing function work in the same school wifi environment?

Hi, there:
I'm wondering can I use home sharing function on campus (same building, same school wifi) between two mac (mac mini & macbook pro)? I truned on both home sharing funciton using the same Apple ID, but it didn't work. Does it mean I cannot use this function in school? If it's workable, how should I do?

That is really crappy. Oh well thank you

Why Doesn't the XIRR function work?

In Excel if you have 5 records from a1:b5 then XIRR looks like this:
XIRR(A1:A5, B1:B5) you get a nice neat answer like .35
Here is a version that works in Crystal that would require manual entry of any new quarters numbers and dates-- and if you plug this into Crystal it works:
(XIRR([1000000,-100000,-100000,-100000,-100000,10277.49,-100000], [DateValue(1999,2,1),DateValue(1999,3,1),DateValue(1999,6,1), DateValue(1999,12,1),DateValue(2000,3,1),DateValue(2000,6,1),DateValue(2000,9,1)]))*.100
You do get a nice answer of something like .035. But this is all done manually and I need it to function automatically when the report is refreshed.
So you have a range for the currency and a range for the date fields. I need to simulate this in crystal. Crystal has an XIRR function, and with the arrays, I should be able to fill in the range, but am having difficulty getting it to work.
After building the arrays, I made another formula to combine the arrays in the XIRR formula.
I am down to this error now after getting this formula this far --
"Numerical method did not converge; try another value for guess."
Here's where I am with the formula, although they don't want to use the guess part of the XIRR function - they just want to use the XIRR(number/currency, date). Maybe you could pass this on too?:
/{@Reset} for the group header (NOT using a repeated group header):
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar array x := 0;
datevar array y := date(0,0,0);
numbervar i := 0;
numbervar j := 0;
//{@accum} for the detail section:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar array x;
datevar array y;
numbervar i := i + 1;
numbervar j := count({table.groupfield},{table.groupfield});
if i <= j then (
redim preserve x[j];
redim preserve y[j];
x<i> := tonumber({table.currency});
y<i> := datevalue({table.datetime})
//{@xirr calc} to be placed in the group footer:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar array x;
datevar array y;
xirr(x,y)
The array works correctly. So why do I get that error and why doesn't the XIRR formula work like they say it should? Has anyone used this successfully in Crystal--maybe you could shed some light?
Thanks!

Hi,
I am receiving that same error when the last item in the array is 0, otherwise all works perfectly.
When I run the same group of numbers and dates in Excel it returns without issue.
-265500.00,-690000.00,-570000.00,16814.25,-855000.00,-619500.00,55293.46,30411.40,15183.76, 0.00
01-25-2007,03-06-2007,05-02-2007,06-29-2007,08-01-2007,08-24-2007,09-17-2007,03-14-2008,05-28-2008,03-31-2010
=XIRR(A2:J2,A1:J1,-0.1)
Is there a known bug in Crystal's XIRR function when the last value is 0?
Or a hot-fix that will repair this?
Thanks in advance,
Gary
PS. I am using Crystal XI Product Version: 11.0.0.2495

Why would my home sharing stop working

my home sharing from my desk top to my laptop stopped working. can someone tell me why it stopped. cant get my itunes library copied to my laptop

I am having the same problems now as well. Just did the OS update this morning. Before the update, I could view purchased TV shows on my Apple TV and now, I get a message saying to access your iTunes library on Apple TV, turn on Home Shairng in itunes. Have done that, and restarted everything. Nothing works so far.

Why won't home sharing work on my iTunes?!

Why won't iTunes let me use HomeSharing? I've authorized my computer, and I've turned on home sharing! I've done everything that I am supposed to do for HomeSharing to work on iTunes! (also, I use a Windows 7 OS)

Maybe iTunes simply does not like you.
What happens when you try to use homesharing?
Is the library shared on the computer that has the media?
Are all computers on the same Wi-Fi network and subnet?

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.

If you are using the same iTunes library (meaning the exact same iTunes folder), it should work fine.

HT202213 Can i use home sharing on my apple tv?

HT202213 Can I use home sharing on devices with different apple ids?

I have my computer set up with my Id. Can my daughter use home sharing on her device with a different Id?

I do not think so. See:

HT202213 Trying to activate home sharing with new iTunes update, says error #5506, any ideas? Worked great before this update!

I'm trying to use home sharing with the latest iTunes update. Keep getting error message 5506-any idea how to resolve this error and share at home?

Well, I tried a few other things and one worked but again just the first time I tried connecting to the desktop PC with iTunes. I flashed my router with the latest update and the ATV2 could see the iTunes library and I was able to play media. Later in the day I was going to show off to my daughter that I had fixed it and, to my dismay, no go. I tried opening the suggested ports but no luck.
I then tried loading iTunes on a Win7 laptop and it works perfectly with the ATV2. Both the laptop and the ATV2 are connected to the router wirelessly while the Desktop is connected to the router by Ethernet. Not sure if this is part of the issue as it sounds like this didn't work for others. The only other difference between the laptop and desktop is that the desktop has Win7 SP1 loaded while the laptop does not; now I'm scarred to load it though I don't think that's the issue. All in all, a very vexing situation. Hopefully Apple comes up with a solution soon.

HT202213 can i use home sharing with my wife who has a different apple id

Can I use home sharing with my wife who has a different apple id so we dont buy the same songs twice

Wow, great question mhaney73. There's got to be a way. I have that problem as well, double songs all over the place.

HT202213 can you setup home sharing from your iPad ?

can you setup home sharing from your iPad ?

You can set Home sharing on the iPad by adding your Apple ID in the appropriate area.
Settings->Music->Home Sharing
But you still need a computer with iTunes from which to share the library. You can't share libraries between iDevices.

HT202213 There is NO Home Sharing ICON?!

I just installed the latest version of iTunes on both of my computers, and setup/turned on Home Sharing on both of them. I also signed them both into the iTunes store. I cannot share anything! The tutorial says to open iTunes, and click on the Home Sharing icon on the left of the screen. I do NOT have an Icon, or anything that references Home Sharing. My only option is to turn it on/off, and is fun for awhile, it quickly gets boring. Being able to easily setup and share music between my computers would be much nicer!
