Hi ashleymartinsmith!
I have an article for you that may help you understand Home Sharing a little better:
Understanding Home Sharing

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.
The important thing to note here is that all connected devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network for Home Sharing to be functional. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
Regards,

  • Can i use home sharing between my computer and my ipad?

    can I use home sharing between my computer and my new ipad (3rd generation)  if so, how.
    Thanks

    You can use it to share the library on your computer to the iPad, not the other way around.
    On the computer, set up homesharing in the advanced menu. On the iPad go to settings > music.

  • HT202213 can i use home sharing with a computer that is not in the same house hold but uses the same apple id?

    If you are using the same iTunes library (meaning the exact same iTunes folder), it should work fine.

  • HT4557 how do you use home sharing through your computer and ipod to view content???

    i am signed in to home shaing on my computer and on my ipod but nothing in happening can u tell me how to use it through my computer and ipod instead of through computer to computer or ipod to ipod

    I have not sync with another computer.  Brand new Ipod touch from christmas.  same computer.  I have however conected it to this computer before & because I was ingnorant it synced automatically with this same computer.  I was ****** because it messed everything up.  So I erased my ipod completlely and started over.  I also un-installed itunes and started over with its as well.  I then put only music that I wanted on my ipod onto my computer in itunes. 
    Now I cant figure out how to get that specific music on my ipod... this is all very maddening!!.. I feel like throughing both computer and ipod out my 2 story bedroom window

  • I am home sharing with another computer and it's set up, but how do I see what music I already have of theirs?

    help!

    It doesn't appear that there is an easy way to make iMovie for iOS to display an entire portrait photo without zooming in.  I found a little workaround, however...open the portrait photo in the Photos app, put your device in landscape orientation (so that there are black bars on the sides) and take a screenshot.  The new image in your camera roll will now have black bars on all 4 sides of the photo, and if you import the photo into an iMovie project, you will see that it will zoom the top and bottom black bars out so that it perfectly displays the entire portrait photo.

  • 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.

    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.

    I switched on home sharing on My computer And on appleTV, but still cannot Control AppleTV with My ipad

    Hi Wikowiko!
    If you want to be able to control your Apple TV through your iPad, you will want to download a free app from Apple called Remote. An article we have published online can help you understand more of the features of the Remote app, and can be found here:
    About Remote app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

  • Why can I print from my iPhone and not my iPad? I have been able to do it in the past and have tried a hard reset but it can no longer find the printer.

    Why can I print from my iPhone and not my iPad? I have been able to do it in the past. I have tried a hard reset but it still cannot find the printer.

    In addition to rebooting the router and the iPad, I would reset the printer as well. Unplug the printer from power and do the same with the router. Leave the router unplugged for about 30 seconds. Plug the router in first and let it totally start up, plug the printer in again, and then reboot/reset the iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't work, you can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. Your WiFi passwords, location services, device preferences all have to be re-entered. You will not lose any data or media whatsoever.
