HT4557 We have a wired in network in our house, we also have an apple airport for use with my ipad/our ipods/iphones, etc. Can we use home sharing if our desktops do not have wifi?

Hi,
this is my first time on the support board, so hopefully I'm doing this correctly. We have 3 desktop computers in our family, which are wired in with ethernet cables. We also use the cables with our laptops (we have various connections throughout the house) I have an iphone, and an ipad, my boys have ipod touches. I purchased an airport router to use when I'm using my ipad, etc. The boys and I would like to be able to share apps that we have purchased. I'm wondering if there is a way to use home sharing in our situation.
thanks!

Have a look here...

Hello Bagpus113
Check out the article below to troubleshooting issues with the sound for music and for videos. One other thing you can try is to convert the songs to a different format

I just upgraded my Apple TV v2 and I can't get home sharing to work? I do have internet and can use my iPhone as a remote (home sharing ok) on the computer I'm trying to connect. Any ideas?

I just upgraded my Apple TV 2. I am now no longer able to share music with my computers or use my Iphone as a remote. I can however use my iphone as a remote (via home sharing) with my other two macs. Any ideas?

Windows 8 has not been officially released and is not supported.
Try google for possible solutions... otherwise, downgrade the OS back to Windows 7 or wait until a version of iTunes is released that supports Windows 8.

My iphone5 is in the same room with an ipad, 2 kindles and 2 iphone4S and it's the only one that does not have a wifi signal. pls help

why does my iphone5 not have the same wifi coverage as 2 other iphone4s in the same room?

Try restarting your iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple Logo. If you are still not able to connect try resetting your network settings. Go into your settings>general>reset then tap reset network settings. If both fail to fix your problem try restarting your router.

HT204074 I have a family Apple ID for iTunes and Apps and then two iPhone 5s each which use a personal Apple ID for email and the family Apple ID for iTunes and Apps. Can I use iTunes Match?

I have a family Apple ID associated with my iMac and iPad for iTunes and Apps and then two new iPhone 5s each which use a personal Apple ID for email and the family Apple ID for iTunes and Apps. Can I use iTunes Match on the iPhones given there are two Apple IDs "loaded" on the iPhone?

I have one apple ID for my iTunes and another apple ID for everything else. if I download the new OS, can I switch my iTunes apple ID once it's all downloaded?

my family all shares one apple ID for iTunes so we can share music. but I have my own apple ID for my phone and ipad. on my phone, I can have two separate IDs, but I'm wondering if its the same for my macbook pro. If i download the new OS, it asks for my apple ID. I would like to put in my personal one so that i can get texts and such. but I would want my iTunes to be my family account. is this possible?

You can use one account with iTunes on your Mac, and different account(s) with the Mac App Store (for buying/downloads apps or OS updates for your Mac), iCloud (System Preferences > iCloud) and Messages (Messages > Preferences, or command-comma)

Try changing the channel in use in case you're getting interference.
If you have WEP enabled on the Internet Sharing it'ss worth disabling it whilst troubleshooting the connectivity issues.

I am using ipad , my desktop do not have App Store icon, how can I got it

I am using ipad , my desktop do not have App Store icon, how can I got it, I can not brows App Store, I can not download free software

You cannot delete the App Store or any of the pre installed apps. It is on your iPad somewhere, but it may be hidden.
Swipe from screen to screen to look for it.
Check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that you didn't disable installing apps.
You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

TS2972 Right guys, I have set up home sharing on my Desktop and my Laptop. I can access the Library on each but it won't let me import for one to the other!! What have I done wrong?!!!

I have set up home sharing on my desktop and my laptop, I can access the library for each on both computers but it won't let me click on import!! Any ideas why it won't let me import?
Cheers

I can access the library for each on both computers but it won't let me click on import!!
Is the Import button greyed out?
If so ... quickly doublechecking ... do you currently have any items selected in the screen?

HT202213 can home sharing link automatically or do I have to connect each time after connection is lost ie if i leave house for day with phone do I have to connect shared library again on phone in evening when back in house?

Can home sharing link automatically or do I have to connect each time after connection is lost ie if i leave house for day with iphone or ipad do I have to connect shared library again on iphone/ipad in evening when back in house? It would be good if it just links automatically

Well then maybe I misunderstood what you meant even though now that you explained it again, I should have though about that.
When you leave the house in the morning with your device, you lose the connection to the library because you are no longer on the same WiFi network as you are at home. You have to be on the same network in order to use Home Sharing. Once you get home again, you have to select the Shared Library again.
I apologize for the confusion or misunderstanding.

TS2972 I have ATV2 and the correct version of ITunes yet when watching a movie from ITunes, ATV2 will drop it mid way through and then will claim home sharing is not activated in ITunes. Can anyone offer advice please?

yepp, I have done numerous tests today, skipped router and hard wired betwenn PC and appletv3. same problem.
same network, but from my laptop, works like a charm.. so its not reproducable on all machines.
this seems to be a itunes/bonjour problem, not ATV3 problem.

TS2755 Why can't I send messages to someone who does not have an apple product from my new Ipad2?

I just got an Ipad2 and can not figure out why I can't send a message to someone who does not have an apple product. I can from my iPhone. When I enter there name it is shown in red with an ! Behind it and the word send does not light up.

You can text this person from your iPhone because you are using SMS over the voice cell network. There is no access to the voice cell network on the iPad, even if you have the WiFi+3G model.
There are some apps, such as TextFree, that will let you do this.

How do I enter an itunes U course code in iTunes on a PC? My teacher gave me a course code to enroll in their course (unpublished), but I don't have an iPad or iPhone. Can I use iTunes on my PC?

How do I enter an iTunes U course code in iTunes on a PC? My teacher gave me a course code to enroll in their course (unpublished), but I don't have an iPad or iPhone. Can I use iTunes on my PC? I don't see a place to enter my enrollment code. I also tried using the link sent to enroll but it doesn't work either. Am I out of luck?

As I noted in the other thread:
There are two kinds of content available, "courses" and "collections". If you look at the iTunes U section on the iTunes Store, you'll note some are square (collection) and some have a faux wire binder and tabs (course); you can subscribe and watch collections from within iTunes, but courses only work on iOS.
The content you see in iTunes on your PC are "collections", while your teacher has created a "course". Collections are more like podcasts, with only audio or video episodes available. Courses have more structure and richer content, including assignments and iOS-specific materials like App Store links and Pages documents.
While the distinction is not particularly relevant for iOS users – one can subscribe to either type – it is admittedly confusing for desktop users since the distinction and terminology are not explicitly defined.
Does that clarify matters somewhat?
