HT5622 Home Sharing With My Family

for home sharing do we use an already created apple id that one of our family members have or do we create a new one for all of us to connect to?

try turning home sharing off on both machines, then turning it back on.
also, see this KB article.

  • Home sharing with different family members

    Hi-
    I'm trying to get the whole home sharing figured out. I have my PC my iPhone 4, my kids iPod 4's. Itunes in my pc would recognize our pods individually. We added an iPhone 4s for my hubby but iTunes recognizes his as me and not him. Any suggestions to fix this?  Siri doesn't realize it's him, he gets all of my contacts, etc. do we have to set up his own iTunes and not be able to do the home sharing?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can use your own ID's for the iTunes Store, so that you each have your own account and content, but you need to use the same ID (doesn't matter which) for home sharing on all devices.

    How do I use Home Sharing with two different apple accounts?

    Morning Saintine,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Home Sharing enables you to stream or transfer music, movies, TV shows, apps, and more among up to five authorized computers in your household. To do so, you will need to Turn on Home Sharing on each computer using the same Apple ID.

  • HT202213 Trying to activate home sharing with new iTunes update, says error #5506, any ideas?  Worked great before this update!

    I'm trying to use home sharing with the latest iTunes update.  Keep getting error message 5506-any idea how to resolve this error and share at home?

    Well, I tried a few other things and one worked but again just the first time I tried connecting to the desktop PC with iTunes. I flashed my router with the latest update and the ATV2 could see the iTunes library and I was able to play media. Later in the day I was going to show off to my daughter that I had fixed it and, to my dismay, no go. I tried opening the suggested ports but no luck.
    I then tried loading iTunes on a Win7 laptop and it works perfectly with the ATV2. Both the laptop and the ATV2 are connected to the router wirelessly while the Desktop is connected to the router by Ethernet. Not sure if this is part of the issue as it sounds like this didn't work for others. The only other difference between the laptop and desktop is that the desktop has Win7 SP1 loaded while the laptop does not; now I'm scarred to load it though I don't think that's the issue. All in all, a very vexing situation. Hopefully Apple comes up with a solution soon.

  • HT4557 Can I use Home Sharing with only another person's iPad but with out the other person's computer?

    Would like to share music with someone.  Currently the computer registered with the iPad is out of commission.  But since you can pretty much do everything on the iPad another computer was not purchased.  How can I utilize home sharing with out two computers?

    You don't.  Otherwise they would have called it Device sharing.

  • Internet connection drops when I use Home Sharing with my iPod Touch

    Hi,
    I have two PCs (Windows 7 and Windows Vista) both with iTunes 10.2.1 and an iPod Touch with iOS 4.3.1.
    When I use iTunes' Home Sharing with my iPod Touch, that is, I stream music, podcasts, etc from either one of my PC computers to my iPod Touch, a few minutes later both laptops, as well as my iPod Touch, lose Internet connectivity. While home sharing continues, Internet connection is lost. I have to unplug my modem and wireless router to get back my Internet connection. The problem, however, recurs again and again.
    Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.
    Dave

    I am having the same problem. My MacBook, iPad, iPhone, and even the PC all lose internet connectivity;but home sharing still continues to function properly on ATV2.
    I'm not too savvy on routers and modems, but could the problem be my router's capacity?

    On my windows 7 machine, itunes won't connect home sharing with my apple tv.  This problem started about two itunes updates ago.  Any thoughts?

    Try a search of the forums or the "More Like This" section to the right.
    Also might have better luck posting to the Apple TV forum.

    is it possible to set up home sharing with my daughter's laptop - she lives in a different part of the country?

    Unfortunately, no. Home sharing only applies to devices sharing the same Wifi network.
    iTunes Match is an alternative to look into.

    You can drag and drop (this will result in a compressed JPG) or hold the alt key and drag and drop (this will copy the original). You can also select the pictures and choose Export from the File menu.

    Of course you do because you're no longer on the same network.
    Connect to your work's VPN connection and then share the files

    In ye olden days of iPhoto when you used the print command it would format your photos into a contact sheet in a "landscape" layout (you don't need a degree in physics to realize it makes a more efficient use of a sheet of paper!). Now, when you use
