HT4557 Homesharing house icon not showing in menu bar & hr glass circle only half full on ipod when trying to connect to library.

I seen others with the same issue and I read through the links and did not find the answer. In my instance, the homesharing is enabled in iTunes (version 11.5) and on my ipod 4 (version 6.1.3), but in iTunes the house icon and well as the “SHARED” part of the side menu do not show. When I select the library in my ipod the hr glass circle gets half way filled and then stops.
I was thinking it might be my router, so I changed the security settings from WPA to WPA2 (as others have tryed which fixed thier issue) and back with no luck. There was a firmware update that was needed on my router, but that didn't fix it either.
Shouldn't the house icon appear in iTunes regardless whether there is an internet connection to the other device (in this case my ipod)??? I had homesharing working on my old netbook a year or two ago and I thought the house icon always showed when enabled whether I had my system connected to a router or not. I could be wrong though.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello vio412,
Thank you for providing the details of the Home Sharing issue you are experiencing.  The Home Sharing icon is not always visible.  If you would like it to show so that you can verify you are signed in with the correct account, you can follow these steps:
Go to File > Home Sharing and choose Turn Off Home Sharing.
Choose File > Home Sharing > Turn On Home Sharing.
When prompted, enter the Apple ID you'd like to use.
Click Turn On Home Sharing, then Done.
After you press done, it is normal for the Home Sharing icon to disappear.  I found these steps in the article listed below.  I recommend reviewing the full article to troubleshoot issues with Home Sharing:

  • In MAIL modem icon not showing in tool bar

    I'm currently overseas and connecting to the internet through my mobile. I've checked "show modem status in bar" but since updating to 10.4.4/5/6 (I updated simultaneously) the modem icon has disappeared when I'm in Mail although it still shows in Safari? Not a huge deal but annoying to have to go into Internet Connect each time to disconnect. Is there a shortcut to disconnect or a way to retain the modem icon regardless of which app I'm in?
    G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    The only way an application should be able to affect a menu on the right side of the menu bar is if the application's menus overrun it. I noticed that Mail's menus take up slightly more space than Safari's, so that very well may be the problem. What's the horizontal resolution of your monitor? Maybe the OS updates added some items that pushed the modem status to the left and "under" Mail's Help menu.
    Are there any menus on the right side of the menu bar that you don't really need? If so, try removing them by holding down the command (Apple) key and dragging the menu off the menu bar.

  • Maverick. Mirroring Screen to TV Airplay Icon Not visible in Menu bar

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded my OS to Maverick 10.9.1 from Snow leopard. My Laptop is a Macbook 13" Aluminium Late 2008.
    How do I get the Airplay Icon to appear in the Menu Bar so that I can Mirror whats on my macbook to my Television. This is the only reason that I upgraded to maverick as I was informed in an Apple Store that this is what I needed to do.
    I have apple TV,(May 2013) and my Itunes is registered with this TV and works fine, as does my Iphone. I have also updated the apple TV with the latest software.
    I have looked at the Display in preferences, and the show Mirroring options in the menu bar when available is ticked. There are no other options.
    I can choose Apple tv in my sound options as my Output, so the macbook recognises the Apple TV, but only with sound, not Mirroring.
    I hope this makes sense. I have gone through all of the apple help pages, and I am still no further forward.
    Thanking you all in Advance
    Greg Simms

    AirPlay Mirroring (which allows you to mirror your screen to the Apple TV) is only compatible with 2011 and newer Macs, being this the reason why you do not see the mirroring icon. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
    As you cannot use AirPlay Mirroring, you can use a third-party application that does the same job, like AirParrot.

  • Icons not showing in munu bar

    Hi , I migrated my forms into 10g successfully. I am having an issue with icons . All my icons are showing on the menu bar except for two. if I take the mouse and move the mouse The hint displays but the icons are not visible. the properties are the same as of other icons that are showing . can someone help me please...

    Hi!
    I assume, your icons are gifs.
    May you try to open that two not displaying icons in a image viewer, may irfanview, and save them again.
    Sometimes forms has problems with several gif images.
    Do you use a jar file for your gif-icons?
    Regards

  • Mail won't display the viewer window, and it will not close (force quit does not show in menu bar).  Can't shut down to reboot because the open mail program prevents it.   Any advice?

    Mail does not show the viewer window even when new viewer window is cliced.  I tried to close mail and reopen, but it will not close, and force quit option does not appear in window bar.   I tried to shut down the computer and reboot, but it cannot close because of open mail program it says.    Help!

    Many thanks.  Once I was able to close mail, it reopened and behaved quite normally.  Thank you.  I'll remember the option quit for force quite!

  • Why does Firefox remove the top portion of my Persona when I'm not showing the Menu Bar?

    Under View > Toolbars you can show and hide the Toolbars you want, but when you choose to hide the Menu Bar, it cuts off about a centimeter of my Persona. A centimeter doesn't sound like much but on an image that is only about 10 centimeters tall in the first place, removing one from the top makes the picture unbalanced. Personas that don't have a boarder are even worse because it actually cuts off part of the detail of the image. Could that be fixed in a future patch?

    It still chops off the top of the personas :( I think I'll uninstall v8 and go back to v3 Firefox, those were the glory days! haha

  • Camera icon not showing

    when i plug my camera in to the usb the camera icon on the desk top is not showing and when it shows in the iphoto menu it is not showing the eject feature so i cant eject the camera at all

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    What brand of camera is it? Canon's, for instance, don't mount on the desktop. It's a "feature" of the brand. As for the eject option not showing in iPhoto: try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    Regards

  • System Preferences status icons not showing in the Menubar.

    After upgradind to Mavericks some System Preferences status icons stopped being shown in the Menubar.
    Anyone experiencing the same?Can someone help with a tip for restoring the Menubar as it was in ML?

    Open System Prefs...
    Some but not all will have an option to show in the menu bar.
    For third party apps, check in the app prefs and see if it has 'show in menu bar'.

  • Spry menu does not show sub menu on iPhone

    Hi there,
    Spry menu bar from CS6 does not show sub menu on iPhone. Please help.
    Thanks,
    Tee
    <TA

    I was debating Sudarshan's
    if your Spry menu is triggered on 'hover', it will not work on an iPhone as touch-screen phones cant do 'hover'.
    any menu with NO hover (mouseover) effect or trigger will work on touchscreen devices. Pick a menu plug-in that doesn't have any associations to 'hover' factor.
    as most touch-enabled menus will still contain hover rules or mouseover javascript handles. Even most JQuery menus will contain :hover rules.
    There is no disagreement about that with you, Al.
