HT3819 I can use remote on my iPhone to connect with my iTunes library, but i can't connect to another computer using home sharing to access apple tv. I have used the same access ID and password that is used for the apple tv.
I can use the Remote app on my iphone to connect with my itunes library on my computer, but I can't connect to the Apple TV using home sharing with another computer in the house. I am using the same ID and password that the apple tv uses to connect with the other computer. Also how do I check what version of IOS that my iphone is using?
Version:
iOS Settings>General About (or it'll say when you hook it up to iTunes)
Are all the devices on the same physical network? I think you're saying all are set up using the same home sharing credentials.
If you've not done so restart all devices and your router.
If you can get any of the devices connected by ethernet to reduce the wifi burden that may help but to be honest I would not expect simply beoing on wifi to prevent devices/computers appearing in the list.
Does the other computer have any firewall or port blocking software running?

I am considering the purchase of an iMac or Macbook and want to know whether I can import my iTunes library of +400 albums from my Windows PC over my Home Network? 300 of these albums have been imported from CD's, so would not want to have to do that again.
Just copy the entire /Musci/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
The libraries will be identical (date added, ratings, artwork, etc.).
You can do this easily over the network. -

Is there any way to add a digital copy movie to an iPhone without syncing with my iTunes library? I use iCloud to sync, not iTunes. So when I go to sync movies, it deletes the other ones I already have loaded on the iPhone. Thanks.
or is there a way to upload the digital copy to store in my iCloud account?

New computer has been loaded with old Itunes library but a number of purchases prior to 9/18/08 are not "authorized" when I try to play them.
They are all items I purchased from Itunes but they won't play any longer even though they show in my Itunes library.
Doesn't work when I enter account info and password either.
This is only about 5% of my library and many purchased items play no problem.
Any help would be appreciated.Two words, Migration Assistant. It will transfer files between two Macs using a firewire cable automagically.

Three words, Target Disk Mode. Use a firewire cable to connect two Macs and then hold down the T key when you boot the Mac you want to transfer files from, G4 Tower. It will appear as a hard drive on the desktop of your Macbook Pro. Then you can just drag and drop the whole folder.

All of my purchases from iTunes are stored on my iPhone and taking up all of my memory. I want to store the music in iCloud if possible, but I can't get it to work. I tried to sync my phone to iTunes, but the library on my computer is all screwed up! I backed up my library to my harddrive, but now a lot of the songs aren't there and the ones that are there have multiple duplicates! If I try to sync my phone to my computer I'm afraid it will sync to the current library on my computer and I will lose all of the music on my phone! HELP this is driving me crazy!
There's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes. Look for that.
iCloud does not store music. If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer. -
I need to add my husband's iTunes library to my Apple comnputer that has iTunes and my library on it already - can I add his device and keep it separate from mine?

You should create a new compuer login account for him (System prefs > Users & Accounts) and he will have all his own data including his own iTunes library.
Also, you can have more than one device in iTunes and sync different content. -
I bought an album in 2010. As far as I knew it was complete, but now it shows a ! next to one song on my iTunes library. When I sync, the song "cannot be found". The album is still available in the store.
I cannot work out how to re-download the song because my computer and the store think I have it already.
help please!Whether you can redownload music depends upon what country that you are in, it can't be done in all countries. What you can redownload will show via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes
If music shows there but that tracks doesn't have the cloud symbol against it for redownloading, then delete it from the Music part of your library (where you are getting the 'unable to locate' message) and it should then get the cloud symbol against it for redownloading.
If you aren't in a country where music can be redownloaded then you don't have a copy of it anywhere e.g. on an iPod or your backup of your downloads/library ? -

Since I moved ITunes media folder to an external bkp unit, Apple Tv uploads my shared videos very slowly. Is there anything I can do?
USB 3 should be more than enough for what you want.
I don't know anything about Pinnacle but iMovie (assuming you are going default) does produce movies with a datarate of around 10 Mbps, which is quite high in comparison to iTunes movies from the iTunes Store. I don't know if you might want to try custom exports.
Although saying that I have plenty of movies at around 10 Mbps on my eSATA external which doesn't have any problems. -
Hi
I just want to know how you can set up your iphone so when you connect to another computer you have to enter a password before accessing the information? My friend connected hers to my computer and it asked for a password so I know its a function.
I have a phone password enabled so its not that, any help would be great.The Passcode Lock prevents syncing the iPhone with iTunes or accessing any data on the iPhone when the iPhone is connected to another computer different from the computer being used for syncing the iPhone.

How do i get music from my iPhone on to a new iTunes library?
I have my iphone synced with an itunes library, but that laptop was recently died. completley. I want to sync my phone to my iMac now. how do I transfer all the stuff on my phone to the computer? i really dont want to lose anything!
The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases
You need to copy everything from your backup copy of your computer to your new computer.
The iphone is not a backup device. -
I have a iphone 5 and I can login with my apple id to purchase music. However, when I try to login into icloud using the very same username and password that I use in the apple store it does not work to enter icloud, so what what gives???
I could do that, however when I select the icloud button (or whatever the heck it is) I am asked to enter the apple id and password. So if you are suppose to create another one for icloud you'd think it would give you the option at this point which would be logical.

My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password. Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts. How can we stop this happening?
A couple of different approached:
Create a second AppleID for one of you that includes the email address and phone number you wish to use for messaging, but do not apply it to the iTunes and app store (just keep the current one). My wife and I do this and it works quite well. Also allows for easier syncing of Contacts , notes etc. using icloud if you wish to do that.
Add additional emails/phone numbers to the existing account and change the Send/Receive settings for Messages. this will not fix the Contcts isues for you however. -
hi, I bought a second hand iphone 4s and seller has blocked it and reset it know the iphone is asking for a email and password that the seller was using, I can't contact him know and i'm left with an Iphone that is useless, can you help ma please?
Sorry, there is nothing you can do until the device is removed from the sellers Apple ID.
Without that, your device can't be used, check these articles:
