I am having trouble using home sharing.

I am having trouble using home sharing. My brother is able to access my libary but I can't access his. Even though we put in his ID for me to access, it just loads and gives up. Can anyone help me out? My OS is windows vista and my brother's is windows 7.

Anyone else having trouble using Home Sharing on AppleTV (3rd Gen) on wired network?

First my setup: I'm on a Mid-2010 MacBook Pro, D-Link DIR-615 Router, AppleTV (3rd Gen).
Problem: Couldn't connect to Home Sharing via the AppleTV.
I was having serious trouble getting Home Sharing working on my AppleTV (3rd Gen). I spent an hour on the phone with Apple Tech Support. Then, after forwarding the proper ports (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2463?viewlocale=en_US), spending another hour and a half with D-Link. Then I even called my ISP. Anyway, after A LOT of futzing around, I finally realized that Home Sharing is working on my iPhone (4S), so maybe it's a wifi thing. I unplugged the ethernet cable from my AppleTV and connected it to my wireless network. Keep in mind, same network, just now it's connected via a different channel (wireless now versus wired before).
Suddenly, works just fine, no issues at all.
What's going on? Anyone have any idea? My port forwarding is now not even set to the correct IP address of my AppleTV (was ...100 when it was wired, but on wifi it grabbed ...103). It would be great to know what's going on. Also, hopefully this helps someone else having the same problem.

Yesterday I bought Apple tv, and connected it on a free LAN port on my DLINK DIR-615.
All settings are ok , appleID en home sharing are set en activated but nothing shows...
The problem seems simular on yours. Tonight when I get home, i'll disconnect de LAN and try wireless....
We will see. Thanks fot the hint

If you have home sharing turned on in the settings of your apple tv and your iPad you can AirPlay from your iPad to the apple tv. When you play a video there is a tv icon on the right side of the play/pause/fwd/rwd icons. Click that and choose your apple tv. Your apple tv and iPad must be on the same network.

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.

Can I use home sharing with two different Apple IDs?

Can I use home sharing for two different Apple IDs?

I have the same sort of problem I want to share two music liberys but my wife dos not like some of the music I do and I don't like some of her's but we like to share the music we both like.
At the moment we have home shareing on but when my wife buy's music It downloads her's and my laptop and when I buy music it downloads to my laptop and my wife's.
We want it so we can share music (home sharing) but only my music on my laptop and my wife's music on her laptop.
HOW?
Sorry for the spelling I am dyslex.

How can I use home sharing between our iphones (create playlists from both accounts at once)

How can I use home sharing between our iphones, so that we can create playlists with songs from both of our libraries? We share a Macbook Pro (separate accounts) and each have the new iphone, but when I have my iphone and try to create a new playlist, I can only grab songs from one account. Is there a way to create a playlist using both accounts since we are sharing?
Does it have to be created within iTunes first on our Mac?

The short answer: because Home Sharing isn't designed for sharing apps, and apps aren't designed to be shared.
The longer answer: Think of it like this...
You download some music in iTunes. With Home Sharing, another user can listen to it by streaming it over the network. But the data itself is on your computer. If you turn off the computer or take it off the network, the other user can't access it.
But if you send another user the app, they aren't just streaming the data- they installed it on their iOS device. Because they weren't the one that purchased it, such a transfer could easily be considered "piracy" or "stealing," and nobody likes that (least of all, Apple).
When iTunes sees this app, it obviously recognized it, as if saying, "Hey, how did you get this app on your device, if I have no record of you purchasing/downloading it from the iTunes store?"

Is there any way to save a library from an old device after it's shown up using home sharing to a new device?

Just as the title says. I don't want to use a USB stick to transfer every single song so that it'll save on my new laptop's iTunes. I think Home Sharing only works at home, right? So if I bring my laptop anywhere, then I don't have any of my music anymore.

Hi Kokomeeps,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
You can actually import the music from one iTunes library on a computer to another using Home Sharing and all of your music will actually be located on both machines. Please use the following article as a guide to set up Home Sharing to import your music from one computer to another.

Trouble using home sharing

i have tried to use my macbook 13pro for home sharing with my apple tv 2nd generation and iphone4s. The mac succesfully connects to homesharing on itunes but then i cant find the apple tv or iphone on the devices tab. I haved checked my firewall settings and everything is right. i am so confused

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple TV isn't supposed to be listed in your device list. Your phone should be listed by virtue of it's sync settings and not homesharing, connect your phone by USB and make sure wifi syncing is enabled.

How do I use home sharing with the new iTunes to put a movie on my iPad

My husband and I each have separate iTunes accounts since we both have iPhones. However we share an apple TV and an iPad, both of which are usually under my account. It used to be that since we had home sharing activated that we could have movies that he purchased with his account on the iPad along with the movies that I purchased with my account. However when we updated to the new iTunes I could not put movies that he purchased with his account (he had a gift card so we used his account instead of mine) onto the iPad. So now we have a movie for our kids that they can only watch on his phone. I want to know what the trick is to "sharing" the movie between our accounts/devices mainly the iPad and Apple TV so that I don't have to wipe the iPad and change accounts on it just for my kids to watch a movie.

Can i use home sharing when two different apple accounts are on the same computer?

will home sharing work when two iTunes Libraries are on the same computer?

Can you be more clear about what you mean. More detail please.
Is this the solution you are looking for?
Log in to both user accounts and launch iTunes. Turn on Home Sharing from the 'Advanced' menu at the top of the screen.
Leave iTunes running and use Fast User Switching to switch between user accounts. You will notice that each user's library of media is available to the other user and you can copy media from the other user to the current user's account.
