HT4527 error 5506 when try to setup home sharing having typed in ID nd password

can anyone advise? keep getting this error. Also, cant move audiobooks into book section so appear in songs - tried everything to move them (ditto with podcasts)

Verify that your password is correct by logging in @ appleid.apple.com. If it doesnt work the issue is password related. If it works power cycle the apple tv and the router (powered down for at 30 seconds). If you still have the problem after that the issue could be port related. HT2463 lists all the ports that are required. If you don't know how to open ports on the router call the router manufacturer.
Home Sharing Troubleshooting article should cover all the basics as well.

    Is the computer authorised for the ID you are using for homesharing.

    Laptop brings up error 5506 when trying to turn on home sharing.
    How do I fix this ?

    Me neither... But my home haring did just come back after signing in and out of iTunes and trying to turn on home sharing....judging by the popularity of this issue right now and the older posts on the subject, it would seem that it's some kind of glitch with the apple servers.

    Never mind, I already found the solution myself.
    What I did wrong was:
    - not copying the master image to the nbi folder
    - selecting the netinstall-restore.dmg image as source to copy to my HD.
    The thing is, when you create a netinstall image for 10.5, the image itself is already included in the netinstall image so you don't have to do anything else.
    With the 10.4 image however, you also have to copy the master image to the NetBootSP0 directory.
    In the *.nbi folder contains an netinstall-restore.dmg file. But that is only to boot you to netrestore, it's not the image itself.
    Other alternative is to copy the images to another folder that you share with AFP and adjust the configuration of netrestore like described in this manual:
    http://www.shellharbourd.det.nsw.edu.au/pdf/misc/osxrestoringnet.pdf
    This manual was also how I figured out that I forgot to copy the image to the NetBootSP0 folder.

  • Setup home sharing-go to iTunes, choose advance?

    Setting up apple tv- to setup home sharing
    Open iTunes
    Choose advanced---- where is this option?

    On a Mac it'd be on the Menu Bar when itunes is highlighted.
    I've a funny feeling that previously Home Sharing could be enabled in the Shared category on the left side of iTunes main window.

  • How do I setup home sharing on my new ipad

    How do I setup home sharing on my Ipad ? I just installed an Apple TV and want to display content. Thanks

    Once sharing is set up for both devices, go into the Music or Video App, and look for the Air Play icon .
    Tap it to get a list of devices you can send content to, one should be your Apple Tv.
    Tap it to select it and start plaing anything you want. It should show up on the Tv.

    If you want to stream content from your computer, then setup Homesharing there, and then use the "Computers" Tab on the Aple Tv menu screen to access the shared library.

  • 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.

  • How to properly setup Home Sharing with iPhone and iPad

    Hi, In our home we have both an iPhone and an iPad, but with different user ID's for iTunes etc.
    I just now seen that there is the Home Sharing feature, but looking up info on it I'm a bit scared that people are saying if you log in to another device with the same ID you get locked out of the original.
    How could I properly setup Home Sharing on both devices, while being 100% positive that I keep my original device ID's in place?

    Hi there,
    I would recommend taking a look at the article below for more information about home sharing.

  • TS2972 When I set up Home sharing on my computers they dont show up in Itunes on the left tab even though net work and internet are working

    When I set up Home Sharing on my itunes account it still doesn't show up when I open itunes even though network and internet is fine

    You can only share from a computer to another computer or device, so your iPad won't appear on your computer's iTunes but your computer's iTunes library should show under the More button in the iPad's Music app (assuming that home sharing is 'on' on both, iTunes is open on your computer and they are connected to the same wifi network).  Is that not happening ?
