HT4557 Need iOS 4.3 for Home Sharing

I have a 2nd gen Touch. Running iOS 4.2.1. Ckd for update. Says its current version. Need 4.3 for Home Sharing. No generation limit listed for Touch in Home Sharing support. How can I get iOS 4.3? Is it available for 2g Touch?

You didn't read my post above. I can't give you credit for the answer. Also, it appears that you are not familiar with the American idiom. I really couldn't care less what you prefer for me. You have no idea what my application is for Home Sharing.
I am able to use Home Sharing to stream my music from iTunes on my computers to my various audio systems in the digital domain, preserving the original resolution of the files. I can use the iPad Camera Connection Kit with my iPad. I then have to use a USB DAC to convert the stream to analog. Tethering my iPad to my various systems is not always convenient. My iPhone works with Home Sharing using my Wadia 170 iTansport.This eliminates the need for a USB DAC. but i don't want to tie up my phone just to play music. This is why I would like to use my 2g Touch.
I'm sure the iOS version limitation has to do with the CPU in the Touch, but it is exasperating, especially when there is conflicting information on the Apple support site about iOS 4.3 being required and then saying iOS 4.2.1 is OK with AppleTV. Also, the instructions listed for using the iOS devices are incorrect. There is no Settings>iPod selection. It is Settings>Music for iPhone, iPad, and even version 4.2.1 on the Touch.

There's no list available from your end. If you're out of authorizations, use the Deauthorize All function.

Does iTunes need to be open for home sharing to work?

It seems that not only does my mac need to be on (duh) but I must also launch iTunes in order to access content from my iMac. Is this the case?

James,
That is correct. iTunes must be started.
Cheers

HT4557 Does an iOS device such as an iPad count as one of the five devices allowed for home sharing.

Does an iOS device such as an iPad count as one of the five devices allowed for home sharing?

This page says :
Home Sharing in iTunes is designed to let you easily share your iTunes media libraries between up to five computers in your household. You can also use Home Sharing to play your iTunes content on your iOS devices and Apple TV (2nd generation) if they are connected to your home Wi-Fi network.

When I try to access my music library from AppleTV is keeps telling me to turn on ITunes Match. I am not supposed to need iTunes Match for Home Sharing. I tripled checked to ensure Home Sharing is turned on and it is. Can anyone offer a solution?

All of your computers content are available in the AppleTV section called "Computer". This is where you will find your music.
The Music section of the AppleTV is only for those who subscribed to iTunes Match.

What is the best hardware for Home Sharing?

What is the best client machine for Home Sharing on my stereo? aka What do I want for Christmas.
Well the CD player is starting to breakdown; that makes two this century. Might be time to replace that whole 5 disk CD player thing and get something to use as a player for music in the living room stereo. Maybe a second unit in the office as well.
How to decide what to buy? Am I selecting the right media server option? I am pretty sure I have a server option but how should I set this all up.
Ethernet. The stereo in the living room doesn't have ethernet cable run to it so the Time Capsule could stream over airport Home Sharing from my iMac 2.4GHz or MacMini server to say my lightly used iPad 32gig. This must slow the network down so I could run ethernet cable if I had to, but the iPad doesn't take ethernet. Performance of the network is important.
Power on feature. Ideally the hardware should emulate the existing service. I go to the stereo, turn the power on and it starts playing, usually ramdom songs (shuffle) of a preselected playlist (5 cds).
Remote control. We don't really use this, although changing playlists with my iPhone makes sense. I could hide all the gear in an out of the way closet. Remote control would be a nice feature, and remote control from all devices in the network and over one or two devices. Can I power up/down the stereo, adjust the volume down or pause remotely? This is my most used functionality.
Server or Client. I could put something with the stereo and load the music on it. Share from it instead of share to it. My music library is currently at 20 gig, so a 32 gig device would work. A old PowerBook as well with any respectable hard drive. Or do I use the TimeCapsule or my low use MacMini server as a media server? What do I do if I want a second player in the Office?
Sound quality. Yeah, it has to be there, audiophile wise.
Audio Sources.
Play a single CD. This is where is gets a little complicated for gear. I do like the option of listening to a cd prior to burning it to iTunes. This starts to require a CD player connected to a iOS device, which is not yet availanble, so drives the gear selection into an older PowerBook. or maybe just add a single disk CD player to a iOS device and let the amplifier select the source.
FM. It would be nice if the device would get FM so I could toss the tuner as well.
Display. My existing CD player permits display of the disk and track, which kinda *****. I would like to know the artist, song and album, so remote control comes back into play here.
Cost. A replacement 5 disk CD player costs about $30 at the local thrift store. New around $200 - $300. I'm getting refurbished iPod 8gb touchs gen4 for $100. I see ebay has iPad 16 gig for around $200. Set the budget around $250. Maybe more christmas is coming : )/
Brand. Been thinking Apple as iTunes sharing is easy, but would consider another brand if the price and quality supported the idea.
Shortlist. Old PowerBook, an iOS device as client players or a stand alone player with out sharing to it but from it. Haven't looked close to see if they meet the functionality of an old CD player.
Workflow. How can we add CD music to the server from any client on the network? How do I change playlists? From the remote control? Can I operate the player from the stereo?
On Hand Gear. My network is running a pair of iMac 24's, iPad gen2, iPhone 3GS 32Gb, iPod gen4 8 Gb, Time Capsule (500Gb), MacMini Server (w/2 500 Gb drives in a RAID 1 config) with SLS. I have several PowerBooks: 17" G4, 14" G3; I could sell or use, USB external CD rw.
Any recommendations would be appreciated, I have some time before the CD player tanks and Christmas list sent to Santa.

What does itunes do on a G4?
Will itunes work under 10.4 with iTune 9 on a G3?
So back to the G4 1.67 GHz running 10.5.8 with iTunes 10. Adding Home Sharing to this computer required deauthorising one of the other 5 authorised computers. Also I noticed I must be logged into a user in order for Home Sharing to see the other library... Or atleast that user has to have iTunes running. I logged into my test user account and opened iTunes account as user Tech, found the library on the TC (why doesn't iTunes remember this ?, maybe it has to bee conected to the TC) , shabam the library shows up on the PowerBook G4. Started playing the Tragically Hip , logged out and expected the library to stop sharing but no, I was still able to play from the logged out accout, as long as iTunes was running. Sure enough as soon as I logged back in to that user account and quit iTunes running fron the TC library, the sharing stop. No warning of a connected user though!
So what about Home Sharing on a Pismo? I fired up the old guy PowerBook bronze keyboard G3 400 MHz, 512 mb ram, running 10.4.11 and iTunes what? iTunes 4, oh yeah, from the iLife 05 install. I need to update to iTunes 9 but before that I should try to see if it can play from the TC. Well no it can't . I can see the TC and load the library but no songs show up in iTunes 4. Must be incompatible file format. I can't see any shared libraries either.
So I download iTunes 9.2.1 from Apple. Thanks for supporting older machines. hmmm. installer says iTunes 9.2.1 requires a G4, yet it lets me install into the G3... let's wait for the install to complete and see what is up wit dat... well it installed... but will it run? no, iTunes installs, but it won't run on a G3, it wants a G4 or better.
So the story goes that for Home Sharing we stop at G4, G3 not invited to the party. Good thing the Pismo just sold on eBay.
The discussion on Home Entertainment Network over at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15843219#15843219 brings up another thing to test.
Can I stream the same music to multiple locations? Can I play the same music in the office and the living room? How does Apple handle this?
My other thought here is, since the TC has a back up of my music why can't I just play that version. Why do I need to back up my music? Guess I could not back up the Music folder in TC but store the music in the TC.

Why is Apple TV showing the same computer multiple times for Home Sharing?

I recently updated to Yosemite and never had this issue before.

I'm not 100% sure of the ins and outs, but it's some sort of known issue between Yosemite, Airport and wifi. All you can do is wait for a fix and keep restarting your equipment as and when needed, unless you have the ability to connect your Mac via ethernet.

How do you change the user for Home Sharing on the Apple TV?

I need to change the user on the Apple TV for Home Sharing but can't figure how or where to do it in the Apple TV settings. Can anyone help? Thank you.

I bought my ATV at the Apple store Zurich Switzerland. All the movies default to German. I hired a US movie and pressed and held the play/pause button once the movie had started but only the chapter menu displayed and there were no options to change the language (from the default German to English)
Are all movies flagged on Swiss accounts only available in German? Is there a way of pointing my ATV to a different server.

What's the best way for home sharing to iDevices without iTunes?

What's the best way for home sharing movies and tv shows on my iDevices? I know I can use home sharing through iTunes, but I'm looking for a way to share videos to my iDevices without having to leave my computer on. I have a MacPro, iPhone, iPad, Airport Extreme, and Airport Express (and several external hard drives). Can anyone suggest an app that would do this? Can I have videos on an external hd attached to an Airport Extreme/Express and have it stream without iTunes?

If your "server" is new enough to run Mountain Lion, you can purchase the OS X Server app from the Mac App store and you'll have everything you need to host a NetInstall (NetBoot) server.
If your machine does not support Mountain Lion, you'll need to purchase the appropriate Mac OS X Server software (i.e. Lion Server or Snow Leopard Server)
From there you can host NetInstall or NetRestore images, depending on your preferred workflow, which can be created using System Image Utility.
As Richard points out you can also use Deploy Studio which, again depending on your preferred workflow, might simplify things.

If I use my husbands apple id for home sharing can i still use my own for downloading apps?

If I use my husband apple id for home sharing, can I also use my own to purchase apps and music?

Sorry, let me clarify. I have two Apple IDs A and B:
A: Used for iCloud. All my calendar, mail, contacts, and other iCloud features are here. This is the ID I use as "the" iCloud on my iOS devices and OS X machines.
B: Used only for purchases, on all my devices and machines. This is what I used to log into iTunes, or to buy apps for iOS or OS X.
The issue is that the only way (currently) to set up Family Sharing is to invite from an iCloud ID (A, in my case) on an iOS 8 device. That's not the ID (B) I use for purchases. The question is whether there's a way to share those purchases given that I'm configured on all my devices with A for iCloud. (Clearly if I somehow send invitations from B, I can share purchases; but that's not the question.)
It sounds like the answer to that question is 'No'.
If that's the case, how do I invite from B? Do I have to configure an iOS device with B as the iCloud ID? My problem isn't that I want to ("willy nilly") avoid inviting form B; it's that there seems to be no way (certainly no convenient way) to do that.

Having trouble setting up home network for home sharing

Hi there, I'm new the idea of home sharing. What i want to do is watch the movies that i have on my iMac on my iPad. So sort of like wireless streaming.
I see that Home sharing on iTunes allows you to view videos stored on your iMac on another device like the iPad etc.
I've already setup Home sharing accounts and looged in on iTunes on both my iMac and iPad.
The problem is being on the same Wi-Fi network. I don't understand what this means.
I regualrly use Internet sharing to share my Macs internet connection with my iPad over WiFi.
But I'm not sure what setting I should use for home sharing to work to watch videos from iMac on iPad
On my iMac under Sharing there's a whole bunch of options DVD or CD sharing, File Sharing, Printer Sharing etc.
The only box i have checked is Internet Sharing..
What to i have to do to get the iMac and iPad sharing video over WiFi through home sharing??

In your configuration you have inadvertently created a different subnet for the wireless iMac G5. To remedy this, configure the AirPort Express so that the option to distribute IP addresses is DISABLED.

So, I have created my home sharing from my base computer to my laptop. On my lap top I see the tab for home sharing but it will not let me connect to my computer to share my music over. I have done everything iTunes has told me to but it still won't work.

I got some more info that may help.
I put a cd on my laptop, and was able to share it to my computer... So the problem is only from my computer to my laptop. I tried the firewall thing and it did not help. I read the rest of the trouble shooting page, and nothing else applies. iTunes is an execption and already was. I can not think of anything else being my problem. Do you think I should re-install iTunes or would that be a waste of time? At this point I am about to just call Apple for some help because I am getting to stressed over this.
Thanks
