HT4557 Issues with my home sharing between my iPad and my iPhone

I have recently changed my Apple ID name, its still the same account. I have logged out of iTunes and Music on my iPhone and iPad and logged in with the new name for my apple ID. My home sharing is now not working. I have just bought a song on my iPad and when I see it on my iPhone I just shows as being purchased and won't let me ICloud it over to my iPhone

All purchases are tied to one apple ID. That is not the same as the email you may have changed with the ID.
If I initially purchase with [email protected] and then try to change the id to [email protected] it will not work. However, if I purchased with [email protected] and changed the email associated with [email protected] to [email protected] then there should be no issues.
You really need to answer Diesel's questions above so we can help you better.

Can i use home sharing between my computer and my ipad?

can I use home sharing between my computer and my new ipad (3rd generation) if so, how.
Thanks

You can use it to share the library on your computer to the iPad, not the other way around.
On the computer, set up homesharing in the advanced menu. On the iPad go to settings > music.

Is mirroring function possible between an Ipad and an Iphone?

Hello,
Is mirroring function possible between an Ipad and an Iphone?
Wireless or not.
Thanks

The games are the app - there is no app that controls other apps (i.e. games) and allows mirroring. Even the games are not "mirroring" in the way of one device sending it's control out to another - you're both playing it together.
To sum up, if the game is designed for "sharing" then you can see each other's movements on both screens - but no app can do it for other games.

Home Sharing between Windows Vista and Windows 8

I am trying to carry out Home Sharing between my old Windows Vista laptop and my new Windows 8 laptop. I have followed all the instructions and both have HS switched on. I can see my W8 library from my WV laptop but I cannot see my WV library from my W8 laptop.
An additional question is I do not have a Podcast button on my Windows 8 iTunes whereas it is on the Windows Vista iTunes.
Can anyone assist me in finding a resolution????

I have been having this exact issue the past 2 days, and I've tried everything within my knowledge, but to no avail. Both Home Sharing computers are on the same network, logged into Home Sharing with the same Apple account, and both computers are authorized for that account. I'm afraid this may just be an issue with the recent iTunes update. Before this recent version, the 2 computers I'm trying to share between did so just fine. Now, the connection is only working one way. I think this will just have to be resolved on Apple's part upon a new iTunes update. Hopefully. Another reason may be the difference in computer operating software (Windows Vista vs. Windows 8) and the inability to communicate between the two (This can happen since the older OS may not be capable of communicating with the newer OS, while the newer OS MAY be capable of communicating with older OS versions). Therefore, a new update would be required from Apple to fix this error. As for your issue in not seeing the Podcast button, try this:
If you have version 11.0.1:
1) Click the very upper left icon in the window.
2) Click "Preferences..." (Or hit keys [CTRL] + [,])
3) Click the tab labeled "General" on the window that pops up.
4) There should be a list of check boxes, each labeled a different component of iTunes. (Music, Movies, etc.)
5) Make sure the checkbox labeled "Podcasts" is checked.
6) Click the "OK" button in the bottom right of the window to save changes and close the window.
If you have an earlier version, follow the EXACT same process as above, except step 1 will be different:
1) Click "File in the upper left corner.
Hope this helps!

Issues with iTunes Home Sharing using iPhone 6 Plus

Hi guys,
I'm having problems with streaming music and video on my iPhone 6 plus from my Macbook Pro (mid 2010 model) using iTunes' Home Sharing . I am able to stream without any issues using my iPhone 4S and my Apple TV, however.
I am using iTunes version 12.0.1.26, iOS 8.1.2, and OSX 10.9.5.
Using my 6 plus, I am able to connect to my iTunes library, both music and video. Album art shows up for music but no cover art for the videos. So, all in all, I am able to see the contents of my library.
However, when I try to play songs, a couple things may happen. First, nothing plays for about 10 seconds; then a second or two of the song plays followed by silence again, appearing as if it's buffering. Second thing that may happen is that a second or two plays immediately followed by silence. If I press next to play the next song, what usually happens is that nothing plays, although the song title does appear.
As seen in this video, I don't have any issues with my WIFI connection or internet speed, as demonstrated using the iPhone 4S and Apple TV.
I have no clue as to why this is happening.
Hopefully someone could shed some light with this issue. Please feel free to comment. I'm open to and appreciate any suggestions while Apple tries to find a solution. Thanks.

UPDATE
So, after working with the guys at Apple, they were able to provide a solution. Now I have no problems using Home Sharing with my iPhone 6 Plus!!!
(I should add that I have the Linksys Advanced Dual-Band N Router (E2500))
The issue was fixed by giving one of the wi-fi channels a different name, thus splitting the channels into 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Then, I connected my iPhone to one channel (2.4 GHz) and my MacBook Pro to the other channel (5GHz). In this configuration, I have had no issues streaming my music and video.
It seems that the problem is some kind of interference between both devices when using the same channel (i.e., when both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channel share the same name).

Hello. Since I bought my new MacBook Pro I am having issues with the home sharing with Apple TV. I can't access my computer from the Apple Tv, although both home sharing options are on. I can choose Apple Tv as an output from my MAC though.

Can't see my computer from the Apple Tv although home sharing is on in both devices and I can choose Apple Tv as an output from my computer.

Home Sharing between Macbook Pro and AppleTV not connecting, what's wrong?

So I have one of the late 2011 Macbook Pro models and the newest AppleTV that I do a lot of Home Sharing for movies and stuff like that. This problem keeps popping up though where they can't communicate with each other and the videos either stop loading half way through, or my AppleTV can't even connect with my macbook to start watching at all. I've gone through most of the possible solutions I've seen posted before and even the troubleshooting by apple about it. I've made sure they are both on the same apple ID, the same wi-fi network, restarted my router, even re-setup my router from scratch, closed itunes on my macbook, turned my wifi on and off a couple of times (worked for a few then stopped again), made sure that everything is on the most current software, but nothing seems to be doing the trick. This has been going on for months now and I'm pretty much sick of it happening. Somebody please help me fix this so I can get on with my movies!!

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
If this doesn't help, contact your ISP, this is most likely a network problem.

Set up home sharing between macbook pro and desktop pc. tried to sync music in library but ipod is not syncing the library. why not?

I set up homesharing between macbook pro and desktop pc. I have attempted to sync songs on my mac and pc, but the ipod will not sync the full library. why not?

Hey harold WD!
You will want to consolidate your entire library onto one computer using Home Sharing in order to sync all of these items onto your iPod. Use the following article to help you accomplish this:

Home Sharing between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard

Hi
I have MacBook Pro both at work and at home. The one at work has Mountain Lion with the latest version of iTune and the one at home has Snow Leopard with iTune 10.7.
I want to share movies on my iTune account between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard. However, it doesn't seem to work....
How can I solve this problem?
FYI - I am not a big fan of Mountain Lion and do NOT want to upgrade my home computer to Mountain Lion.

    I am not sure why you can't access iCloud, using a browser? Then you have the same address book, so long as you are connected to the internet. https://www.icloud.com/
    No email involved. From the browser, you can download individual iCards or all of the individual cards, BUT unfortunately, not the Groups. So, you have to fiddle on the SL machine with keeping the groups organized.
    Up until recently, I have been able to sync Contacts from ML (which stays synced to iCloud) to SL this way: copy the /Users/~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ folder from the ML computer to the SL computer by dragging the icon onto the dock's AddressBook icon, this should retain all the group info. But, recently, this has ceased being complete.
    Apple really left us behind on this one.

My home sharing between windows 7 and macbook pro not working

My macbook pro is not pulling up my windows 7 home sharing?
The itunes 10.5.1 is my version

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It isn't homesharing that allows iTunes on your PC to see your iPad when connected. You will likely get better answers to your questions in the iTunes for windows community.

Sharing between itunes accounts and computer/iphone

My husband and I each have our own itunes accounts. I want to put some of his music (from his itunes library on the computer) into my iphone music library. We can't figure it out. Homesharing doesn't appear to be working and drag/drop doesn't work either.
We both have the latest version of the software installed on our respective devices (iphone 4s has 5.1 and computer has 10.6.1.7)

Many thanks.
We will need to get his music into your iTunes in order to sync it to the phone. Your jump drive technique is a good way of doing it, but home sharing is also an option (assuming both computers are on the same wireless network).
If some of the music you want to shift from him was bought from the iTunes Store, I'd set up the Home Share using the Apple ID that the music was bought with.
See the following document for instructions on how to turn on Home Sharing on both computers:
iTunes: Setting up Home Sharing on your computer
Have iTunes open on both computers. On your computer, select his library in the iTunes source pane as per the following screenshot:
You can pick and choose which items you want to copy across. (Select the items and then click Import down in the bottom right hand corner.) If you import a lot, the transfer is going to take a while.
If you do things in several batches over an extended period of time, it might be easiest for you to have "Items not in my library" displaying in the Show menu rather than "All items". (That will cut down on the possibility of accidentally importing duplicates.)
Once you've got the items in your library, you'll be able to sync them to your phone.

TS1629 Trying to set up home sharing on my ipad and when I click on the music app I don't have an option to slick ''more". It's just a grey screen that says no music..

When trying to view shared playlist, or any music for that matter the music app is blank. All it show is no music in the middle of the screen and a play button in the top right corner

Howdy Togifink,
I think I found the perfect article for you. Named Troubleshooting Home Sharing it can be found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2972.
1. Set up Home Sharing on all devices
2. Verify system requirements
3. Check your Apple ID
4. Check your network connection
5. Check Firewall Settings
6. Quit and reopen apps and iTunes
7. Restart your network router
8. Cannot access my library when my computer is asleep
Each step in the article is accompanied by screenshots and instructions but this is the basic over view of where the troubleshooting will take you.
Take care,
Sterling

Sharing "Numbers" between my iPad and my iPhone

I downloaded the app "Numbers" to my iPad which also showed up on my iPhone when I synced them on iTunes. On my iPhone I noticed that it said to update "Numbers". I tried to update and I noticed that there was a charge for the app for my iPhone. Do I need to pay for the app twice? Once for my iPad and once for my iPhone?

I may not be the best person to give advice on this because I only have one iOS device, but I don't see why having two devices would be any different. I purchase apps on the iTunes store on my Mac's iTunes app and they appear on my iOS device, where I sync with iCloud using my Apple ID. I would think that all devices connected in that way would be treated equally. Having read the license agreement, I know that such purchases are shared legally across the Apple ID account.

Do I need to turn on iCloud backup for auto sharing between my iPad and iPhone, example photos, reminder, notes, contacts, etc

When I turn off iCloud backup then I think my iPad, and iPhone stop sharing contacts and reminder phone stream etc, so do I need iCloud backup to be turned on

No. Backing up to iCloud is entirely separate from syncing data with iCloud to your other devices. Backing up to iCoud is entirely optional and turning it off shouldn't effect your iCloud syncing in any way.
