  • Can you share purchased books with Home Sharing?

    Can you share purchased books (from IBooks) with Home Sharing? Music seems to share fine-books seem to be a problem.

    In iTunes go to Preferences > Sharing and either share your entire library or make sure the Books playlist is checked.
    You may then need to click the Import button to copy the book into your Library, I was not able to actually read the book without taking that step.

  • How can I share an iBook with my wife?

    I am planning a major purchase of English language reference books (dictionaries, grammars, usage guides). The prices are high and number of books I plan to buy is close to ten which adds up to a little bit less than $500.
    All of them I certainly want to share with my wife who has her own iPad, Mac, and iPhone. However, we both want to keep our Apple IDs and iCloud accounts separate, and not to share emails, documents in iWorks etc.
    Some postings on the Internet claim that this is possible using 'Home Sharing' feature in iTunes. I did enable 'Home Sharing' and it works for music and movies, but I cannot find how to share any of the existing contents from iBooks.
    Is this what I am trying to do possible at all, and if it is, what would be the steps how to do it?

    This is not exactly the same but may help

  • How can I distinguish multiple computers with home sharing?

    I have 2 computers which have Home Sharing turned on. When I use Apple TV it shows both computers and can play videos from both without any problems.
    What I cannot work out is how to change the names of the shares. They both have the same name which appears to be determined by the first name from my itunes account which is sharing files rather than using the name of the library on the computer. So, both computers look identical. I cannot tell which one I am choosing from the list.
    Since most of my videos are on an external hard drive which will only be connected to one at a time, I can only tell if I have selected the correct one when the video plays or shows an error.
    Why does Home Sharing not care what I want to name my library or about the name of the sharing computer? Have I missed something? I know how to change the name of my "shared library" but it is irrelevant to what Apple TV can see.
    It seems pointless to show the name of a shared library if that name is determined by the sharing account when Apple TV can only use one account at a time. Every computer it will allow will be called the same thing.
    If it's relevant, my sharing computers are using Mac OSX 10.7 and Windows 7.

    When I change it to say Matt's library from administrators library, the name changes on my apple tv. I'm not sure about 2 computers though. I would think changing the library name under preferences would work.

  • Computers can't find each other with home sharing

    My home sharing has worked before but now I can't get my two computers to "see" each other. I have tried just about everything. Any helpful hints?

    Mac or PC...?
    My first suggestion would be to check that the firewall on your router has the correct port/s open.
    Then i would switch off home sharing on both machines, reboot both and set up again.

  • Share select media with Home Sharing

    I am using Home sharing for the first time, now that I have the new Apple TV. Is it possible to only share select playlists/media? I want to share my music and TV shows via Home sharing, but not my movies. Is this possible?
    Thank you, and my apologies if this has already been asked.

    IMHO, home sharing is pretty limited in its functionality (good enough for basic stuff, though).
    in your case, i'd look at 3rd party tools such as TuneRanger.

  • TS2972 Can't play TV shows with Home Sharing

    I have home sharing turned on on both my home computer (a PC) and my Mac. When I try to play music, it works just fine, but when I try to play TV shows, all I get is a black screen. Help!

    We are having this exact same problem - started happening after we did the software update tonight. Have tried restarting, resetting, and all the other obvious tricks. It seemed to work for a minute when we used the iPad ATV remote, but that stopped working after a couple of minutes too.  We can play previews, and iTunes library stuff, but not movies or TV shows purchased via the ATV. We've got a new episode of game of thrones sitting there that we can't play - very frustrating!

  • Why can't iTunes transfer songs with Home Sharing?

    I am trying to transfer songs and tv shows onto my computer from another computer in my house and everything is working fine, but when I try to drag the songs, they won't move. What should I do?

    what you want to see in iTunes is this (view from my MBP's iTunes seeing the library on my Mini)
    if you then click on the house icon, it will change to this and the shared library will load. at that point, two buttons will appear in the lower right corner of the iTunes window, being settings and import
    now you should be able to import any content from any shared library by selecting the content and clicking on import.
    if the icon looks like this , home sharing has not been set up correctly.

  • Can i share my ibooks with others

    Does anyone know if we are able to share books with other Apple users?

    They are tied to your iTunes account, you can't lend or transfer them (nor any other content downloaded from iTunes) to other accounts.

  • Can a family of four share one i tunes account with home sharing?

    Can a family of four share one i tunes account with home sharing?

    Sure but it depends more on how many and what kinds of devices are being connected to each other for Home Sharing. Up to five computers can be authorized to use iTunes Home Sharing. I don't believe there is a limit on the number of iOS devices, Apple TVs, iPhones, iPads and iPod Touchs, that can connect using Home Sharing.

  • How many ATV2's can I use with home sharing at once?

    I am installing a fairly large home network. I have 10 ATV2's I would like to use on 1 network using home share, all will be connected via ethernet. Is there a limit to how many atv2's I can have connection one itunes account with home share or a limit using the remote app?

    It used to be a limit of about 5 AppleTVs per iTunes library with AppleTV 1 but that registered them as devices rather than using Home Sharing.
    I suspect but don't know for sure that Home Sharing has to be more liberal as Home Sharing now works to portable devices like iPads too, and if the household had a couple of AppleTV2's, iPhoness and iPads they could reach 5 very quickly.
    Having said that we just don't know.  There is a limit of sharing to 5 computers with Home Sharing, so it's possible the same applies to individual device types, we just don't seem to know from the support docs posted.
    Personally I'd be surprised if 5 was the limit as under the old system if you ran out of 'Devices' in itunes you could set up another computer for the next 5 and so forth.  Home Sharing on the other hand just shares to a particular account so you'd see all libraries shared from a particular account on all AppleTVs.

  • HT202213 I have two computers with home sharing on, but I can't transfer music. What do I do?

    I have two computers with home sharing on, but I can't transfer music. What do I do?

    What do you mean by "won't pick up the songs"?
    You can only sync with one iTunes library. However, you can manage mauic and videos among different computer by:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    You can transfer iTunes purchases to a computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
