HT3819 Home Sharing stopped working on my iPad and iPhone

My iTunes is installed on a Windows 7 computer and is connected to a linksys switch that is connected to a wireless linksys router.
My iPads and iPhones are connected to the wireless router.
They are unable to connect to the Home Share even after signing off of Home Share and then logging back in.
When you open the Videos app on iPad or iPhone it says "No Videos" and does not seem to be attempting to find any content on the network.
This was working earlier in the day yesterday but has stopped for some reason.
I have an AppleTV 3 and another iPad that are working just fine and are able to see and play Music/Videos/Movies... just fine.
Thanks in advance for your help!
JT

Just to provide more information:
I have recently DeAuthorized all computers and then authorized the computer that I am trying to home share with. That didn't help at all.
I only have one computer Authorized now and 2 iOS devises authorized.
The AppleTV 3 is connected to the same linksys switch as the iTunes computer. It is able to see the Home Share and play Music/Videos/Movies...
The working iPad is connected to the same linksys wireless router that the linksys switch is connected to.
It is able to see the Home Share and play Music/Videos/Movies...
All my other iOS devises are having issues.

Home sharing stops working in 11.2.0.115

I have a large library on iTunes 11.2.0.115, running on a Windows 8.1 computer with 12GB RAM and abundant processor and disk. I'm finding that Home Sharing stops working after one session, and then I have to turn it off and back on, re-entering my Apple ID and password. Some of my other devices have an easier time than others, but none can find the library once it stops working. Quitting and restarting iTunes, and/or rebooting do not work. Disabling IPV6 doesn't work.
The one that sees the library best is my AppleTV V3, updated to current firmware. My iPhone 5S on IOS 7.1.1 almost never sees the library, and neither does my iPad 2. My iMac Air sees the library after restarting Home Sharing.
I've looked and see lots of threads about this here and elsewhere. Are there any logs or anything I can look at for clues? Is there a way to get help from Apple (without paying per incident?)
I have turned on Match, and that seems to work pretty well. I'm looking for central play counts, and shared playback of lossless files as my primary wants. My whole family has Apple iPhones, and I'd like them to be able to use this library.
Any ideas are appreciated.

Hi jfschroeder,
If you are having issues with Home Sharing from iTunes on your PC, you may want to follow the steps detailed in this article -

It sounds like you have already done some of the steps but it would be good if you can complete them all.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

IPad home sharing stopped working w/ ios7

Home sharing on my iPad just hangs.
I have a large video library, so it took awhile to load it under ios6, but now it has stopped working altogether. The little wheel just keeps spinning around and around, then after about 5 minutes the video app crashes. There's some Quality Apple Software™ for you...
I've tried logging out of home sharing & logging back in; power cycling all devices, etc. I'm pretty sure the problem isn't with iTunes, because my Apple TV is loading up the entire video library in a matter of just a few seconds.
Is there ANYTHING I can do to get home sharing to work on this iPad 3?

I am having this exact same issue on an iPAd 2 and iPad mini in videos. I also have this issue in Music on a 4s. After many attempts, turning on/off home sharing in itunes, rebooting, and esetting the entire network settings in the 4s, because Messages wasn't sending.. The 4s is finally filling in the circle as it tries to connect. I have a large video and audio library (Apple's seen a lot of income from me), but the 20min to load n the 4s is absurd.
Still can't get Video to connect to home sharing on either iPad. I've been trying many times for this 'magic' attempt to happen, but so far no luck. Very frustraed right now.

My home sharing stopped working on my iphone, ipad and apple tv

Hi, my remote app to use home sharing stopped working on my iphone, ipad, and apple tv, have tried turning the windows firewall off but still does not work?

After installing ios 5, home sharing stopped working with iPad 2

After I've installed iOS 5, Home sharing stopped playing on my iPad 2.
I can SEE the content but the movies app simply hangs when I try playing it.
I can still play the content on an iPad 1 though..
Has anyone encountered something like that before?
P.S.
Using iTunes 10.5 on a PC running windows 7

After installling iOS5 the Videos App on my iPad2 takes forever to start films and TV shows from home sharing, if at all. I get a black screen after starting the film which can last between 10 seconds and a few minutes.
I've also noticed that I can't get the status of the film (volume, time etc.) to show when tapping the screen.
On top of all that, after having solved the issue with the TV shows being doubled and tripled up, I've noticed that the covers for movies are often on the wrong film.
Help!! Please!!

HT2463 Home sharing stopped working. Windows 8 Netgear wndr3700 router

Have two AppleTv's that home sharing stopped working on. Windows 8 Pro, Netgear WNDR3700, Dell 9100 XPS. Have gone through two calls with Appletv support but no permanent fix. Homesharing says it's on. on the appletv's and itunes, all with the same id. One call had me power cycle my Cox cable modem, Netgear router, PC and Appletv's but no go. Second call had me disable Port scan and DOS protection plus change NAT filtering from Secured to Open.This worked for a couple day then nothing. Windows firewall is on, inbound trafic allowed from itunes.
PS3 and iPhones work fine on wireless
Anyone have other ideas? Thx.

This definitely helped. Trying this pointed to my PC. Turned out airplay was not loading when iTunes was started up. Had to restart my PC and then airplay loaded when I started up itunes. Once airplay was active home sharing worked on all my ATV's. I'll have to monitor and see how long this lasts.

Home sharing stopped working on my Apple TV

Home sharing stopped working on my Apple TV

Thanks
I don't need to try this yet I'm not sure what I did but after yet again unplugging atv, plugging an Ethernet cable in as our airport express stopped working after latest updates too, unplugged Ethernet and attempted a wireless connection it worked! For some reason after 4 days of not connecting the air port express works again! And atv is recognising home sharing.
Updates are set to auto for atv so perhaps a patch there? Or just lucky combo of things I did?

My MacBook works fine wifi everywhere except for home. The home wifi is fine with the iPad and iPhone. How can I fix my MacBook?

My MacBook works fine wifi everywhere except for home. The home wifi is fine with the iPad and iPhone, so I assume the issue is with my computer. My computer works fine on wifi networks elsewhere. The only problem is at home.
The computer "connects to the wifi," but browsers and other internet-dependent software do not work. Curiously, if I connect the ethernet cord that doesn't work either. Usually if I reset the modem to factory settings twice (for some reason, once doesn't do the trick), my computer will fully connect to the wifi. However, in a few days, it goes back to not working.
Today, resetting the modem didn't work. I could only get wifi connection while in safe mode, but not in normal mode. So, the issue seems to be software not hardware. I have tried starting new accounts in normal mode, but those also don't connect properly to internet.
Not sure if this is relevant, but this problem started when my building switched internet providers from ComHem to Telia (I live in Sweden).
What do you recommend I do?
Thanks!
PS I use Snow Leopard: OS 10.6.8

Not unless the modem is causing a problem.
What you want to do is get it to work reliably over Ethernet first, then tackle wifi. Power off the modem. On your macbook, delete the Ethernet configuration and the Wifi configuration. Power up the modem, then connect the mac via Ethernet. Create the new Ethernet configuration and see if you can connect.

Home sharing is working fine for musics and videos but not for apps. What is wrong?

Home sharing is working fine for musics and videos but not for apps. What is wrong?

i had the same issue as everyone here after upgrading to itunes 10.x. vista could see xp home share. ipod touch could see xp home share.
neither could see vista home share.
after several hours of authorizing de-authorizing, rebooting router etc, i knew it had to be a firewall thingy with vista as xp was working fine
i went to this article http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2553 and followed the instructions. itunes was already in my vista exception list. on a hunch i deleted the itunes exception and followed the steps to add it again and boom it worked!! i could now see my vista machine from my ipod touch immediately.
something must have screwed up the firewall exception on the upgrade to itunes 10.x
it worked for me, i hope this helps others

I have seral email accounts on my Mac. One does not work on the Mac but works on my iPad and iPhone. The account information was added on the Mac. I keeps rejecting my password.

You don't input the information in manually for iCloud mail. It is automatically set up for you when you sign into iCloud via System Preferences and choose the Mail checkbox. Sign out of iCloud or deselect Mail in iCloud preferences. Open Mail's preferences and choose accounts tab. If iCloud account still exists in the list, delete it. Sign back into iCloud or check the box for mail. The account will be auto created for you.

ITune home sharing stops working if I enalbe WIFI sync for my iPad

I am using iTune 11.2.0.115 (64bit) on win 7 fully updated to May 28, 2014 win-updates. After upgrading to latest itune 11.2.0.115, I have noticed when I enable "Sync over WIFI" in my iTune for my iPad or iPhone, the iTune home sharing icon just disappers from left side panel and will not share no matter what steps I take. I have read and followed all the steps for trouble shooting home-sharing for itune. Such as re-install, disable ip6 etc...
I share my media out of a win 7 and I have another win 7, Mac, apple TV, ipad and iphone which they do not see my main libirary until I un-check the sync over wifi. However Mac and the Other win 7 can see each other's shared library.
I can re-produce this problem each and every time.
thx

ITunes stopped syncing videos to iPad and iPhone

I have a bunch of TV shows purchased from iTunes store on my laptop (MacBook Air, OS X 10.8.2) which I routinely sync to my iPad and iPhone. After ungrading my iPhone to iOS 6, the sync stopped working to both iPhone and iPad (which I did not upgrade yet) with iTunes saying that I can not sync these videos because I do not have permission to play them on this computer. This is incorrect as this computer is authorized to play them, and I can actually play them on this computer. I've done all the tricks I've found suggested - reset iPhone (which I didn't think would work since the iPad is affected too), deactivate and activate my iTunes account, and am stuck. Thoughts?

Hey there kuyosh!
After reviewing your issue, I have an article to suggest that will help you troubleshoot the issues with your iPad. The following article will help you do some basic troubleshooting on any iPad issues you may be seeing and their interactions with syncing to the computer:

The specific section you want to pay attention to will be "If iPad doesn't appear in iTunes or you can't sync iPad." If you are still having issues after following the steps in that section of the article, you will want to restore the iPad by following the instructions in this article:

My note has stopped syncing between my ipad and iphone

Note has stopped syncing between my ipad and my iphone. Can anybody help please?

Settings>icloud. Assuming you have already set up the connection to icloud (ID, password), then turn on Calendars on that screen.
If they don't appear, then log into icloud.com using a computer's browser and look at the calendars page. If empty, then you are not syncing calendars from your device to icloud. If there, then be sure Calendars is turned on in Settings>iCloud or System Preferences>iCloud.

I upgraded my iTunes to 11.1, and upgraded my iPad to OS7 as well as my iPhone. Suddenly my home sharing stopped working with my apple TV.

I installed the iTunes 11.1 update, upgraded my iPad to iOS7 and now my AppleTV does not see my home sharing. What the heck is going on?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.
