HT3819 Need help on Home Sharing feature

I tried turning on HomeSharing feature on my original computer where I loaded iTunes.  This computer is old on it's way to the great computer store in the sky.  I got an error message (-2146762495)...any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

  • TS2972 itunes says my home sharing is "on" however on my tv, when I click on computers it keeps telling me I need to turn home sharing on? can anyone help me

    trying to play music on my apple tv - when I clicked on computers and error came up saying I need to turn home sharing on.  Went to my computer pulled up itunes and home sharing is on? not sure what to do, can anyone help me...

    I had this problem too.  My PC is connected to my router via  an ethernet cable and my Apple TV is connected via wireless.  When I phoned Apple they said that my router was probably sending the signals via two different sub networks, one for ethernet and one for wireless and so the Apple TV couldn't see my computer (It's like they are on different connections).  I didn't really understand how my router was setting up sub networks but when I connected my Apple TV via ethernet it works fine and then stops again when I use wireless.  I restarted my router and it was ok so I then went into my router settings and selected to always use the same channel for the Apple TV.  So far it has worked everytime I've switched on.

  • I am trying to use the Home Sharing feature but none of my current library is showing up under my Share Library ?

    I recently purchased a new lap top and thought the easiest way to move my library before wiping my old lap top would be the Home Sharing feature.   I have gotten everthing set up for Home Sharing but the library on my current laptop isn't showing under the shared library?  I am using the same account log in that I have always used and the Home Shared library isn't even seeing purchases under my account?  How do I get the Home Shared library to see all my music?

    What operating systems are you running?

  • HT3819 help on home sharing

    after switching on home sharing i do not get any option on new itunes on windows 7 , where can i find it

    vbtaylor,
    I recently purchased a new PC and am having some problems too.  My old PC was running Win Vista Home Premium Ed.  iTunes stored the songs here: C\Users\Owner\MyMusic\iTunes\iTunesMusic\Artist\Album
    My new PC is running Win7 Home Premium and iTunes stores the music here: C\Users\Owner\MyMusic\iTunes\iTunesMedia\Music\Artist\Album
    I do not know about the home sharing aspect of iTunes as I have not used it.  Do you use a USB cable in between the old PC and new PC and xfer the songs that way?
    My suggestion is this:
    Try to double click on one of your songs on the new PC.  When it won't play you should get a popup asking if you want to locate the song.  Click on the locate button and then search your HD for the song.  Once you find it double click on it and iTunes will know where it is on your HD.  Then it should ask you if you want to find more missing music.  Say yes and hopefully the software will find the rest of your songs.
    Good Luck! 

  • HT3819 If I use home sharing, will the other computer lose their music?

    My girlfriend wants music from my iTunes account.  I was wondering if we used homesharing her music would no longer be available.  Any help would be appreciated!  Thanks.

    No home sharing does not delete anything.  It does exactly what it says it does, it shares your music library with others and vise versa.  I use it all the time in my home, and works perfectly.  All it does is wirelessly adds music to your music library that you are able to play.  Do you need help setting up iTunes Home Sharing?
    Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with, 
    Cheers,
    Allen

  • Need Help Understanding Home Share

    After looking through the knowledge base I do not understand Home Sharing well.  Hopefully, I am not the only iTunes/Home Sharing user that has this issue and someone can help explain my misunderstanding (or how to fix the issue).
    I have a small home network (LAN) consisting of one desktop and three laptops, all Windows7 Home premium.
    I want to share our music collection between the 'main' desktop (large power supply and HDD - Win7 SP1 with 3.5Tb & i3) and the laptops and a number of iDevices.
    I created a share network connecting the machines together. 
    If I understand the instructions correctly, we should be able to store the music on the 'main' machine (completed correctly). 
    Then, using the Apple share (home networking) feature, sync the music to one of the other machines on the home share and then play this music on that machine.  And also sync this music to an iDevice connected to this machine. 
    I am not able to download the music to my laptop and play it as expected. 
    I am not able to sync this music to my iPod connected to the laptop (on the share network).. 
    What did I miss in the instructions? 
    My hope is to get this working so I can set up a newtork server so we do not have to duplicate the rips on each machine....i.e., one central location that houses all the files that, in turn, supports all the devices.

    To sync media to an iOS device, the media must be in the iTunes library, not shared.
    Realistically, if you want to the media in the library on each computer, simply copy it to those computers.

       Phone - e.g., 7 digits, with or without a dash between the first three digits (Exchange) and last four digits (Line)
       Any or all of the fields may be missing (null) or blank or contain only spaces.
       Write a T-SQL statement to concatenate the three fields into a complete phone number
       with the format: CountryCode(AreaCode)Exchange-Line, e.g., 1(816)123-4567

  • Can Someone Help With Home Sharing With ATV3?

    I can't get home sharing to work with my new ATV3.  When I go to the Computers menu in my ATV3, nothing appears but the message telling me that all devices using the same Apple ID will be automatically located.  I have followed all of the configuration instructions and troubleshooting from the Apple help guides.
    iTunes is running on my PC
    I have turned on home sharing in iTunes and am sharing my entire library
    I have connfigured TCP ports 123 & 3689 to be open in my router and firewall
    I have configured UDP ports 123 & 5353 to be open in my router and firewall
    I tried disabling IPV6
    I can ping my ATV from my PC
    I am running iTunes 11
    ATV software is current version
    ATV connects to WiFi fine
    ATV connects to the iTunes store and streams Netflix fine
    My PC is Windows 8 64 bit
    Home sharing to my iPhone 5 works fine
    I have searched on the internet and this seems to be a common problem with ATV.
    Help anyone?
    Thanks.

    I've already check the http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2972 and it doesn't help. I did have a similure problem 7-8 months ago and for 2 months Apple techs asked to share my password, and then gave up and reset my iMatch. I didn't have iMatch for 2 months. I wonder if this is the same problem. That time my iPhone was ok it was my Macbook Pros who didn't share.

  • Help with home sharing

    I've just updated to itunes 11 and can't home share, I don't have an import option, can anyone help ?

    Are you possibly referring to Family Sharing and making purchases? Home Sharing is just sharing iTunes content across a shared network. If you are having issues with a purchase, see if this support document provides you with some answers. Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
    If not, then contact iTunes support for help. http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • Can i airplay to apple tv from a usb hard drive attached to the router using the Home sharing feature

    I want to get a Router with a USB port for Home Sharing my library of Music and Movies off a 3TB external HD to my iMac, Apple TV, and iPad so that I don't have to leave my iMac on all the time, but more importantly, I have almost filled the 1TB of memory on the iMac so I need more space.  I like my setup using the iPad as a remote to stream movies from the iMac to my AppleTV but I need more space.  Thanks.

    The iPod and/or MacBook communicate with the Apple TV via WiFi, so there has to be a WiFi network of some sort, even if just an "ad hoc" one set up using a laptop or desktop computer as an access point. If you don't think there will be a WiFi network available, I'd suggest leaving out the Apple TV and just connecting the MacBook or iPod directly to the TV to do your presentation. A MacBook can connect to just about any video input with the appropriate adapter, and the iPod touch can connect via composite or component inputs, or HDMI if it's a fourth-generation iPod touch.
    Regards.

  • HT3819 Have just set home sharing, but on the computer it as been shared with all my tracks have come up individually and there are no sign og selecting my playlists. Is this normal and also there is no sign of my audio books.??? Any advice appreciated .

    I have just set up home sharing, but all that has come up on the new computer is all my individual tracks and not my playlists, also there are no sign of my audio books... Is this normal?? Any advice appreciated...

    I'm sorry, but your sister, unless she had already turned on the "Find my iPhone" feature and the person who took the phone has not disabled it, is out of luck. She should report the theft to local police authorities, including the serial number of her iPhone. While her experience is unfortunate, there are good reasons why Apple cannot do anything else about it.
    I hope she gets her phone back.
    Best of luck.

    am using the nav at the top on all the pages.
    Any thoughts?
