  • How to use home sharing for more that five Apple TV 2nd?

    Hi,
    i know that itunes works (with "home sharing" functions activated) only with max n°5 Apple TV 2nd and n°5 Idevices.
    Now, i've a problem because i need to have n°10 Apple TV that work in the same time with itunes installed on Mac Mini (lion OSX).
    If i use MAC mini with Lion Server OS, the limit for "Home sharing" increase ? or Is possible to use two account for "home sharing" with only one itunes?
    Thank you

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Providing all devices are correctly set up on the same home network, you can stream content on your devices to the Apple TV.
    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

  • What is the best hardware for Home Sharing?

    What is the best client machine for Home Sharing on my stereo? aka What do I want for Christmas. 
    Well the CD player is starting to breakdown; that makes two this century. Might be time to replace that whole 5 disk CD player thing and get something to use as a player for  music in the living room stereo. Maybe a second unit in the office as well.
    How to decide what to buy? Am I selecting the right media server option? I am pretty sure I have a server option but how should I set this all up.
    Ethernet. The stereo in the living room doesn't have ethernet cable run to it so the Time Capsule could stream over airport Home Sharing from my iMac 2.4GHz or MacMini server to say my lightly used iPad 32gig. This must slow the network down so I could run ethernet cable if I had to, but the iPad doesn't take ethernet. Performance of the network is important.
    Power on feature. Ideally the hardware should emulate the existing service. I go to the stereo, turn the power on and it starts playing, usually ramdom songs (shuffle) of a preselected playlist (5 cds).
    Remote control. We don't really use this, although changing playlists with my iPhone makes sense. I could hide all the gear in an out of the way closet. Remote control would be a nice feature, and remote control from all devices in the network and over one or two devices. Can I power up/down the stereo, adjust the volume down or pause remotely? This is my most used functionality.
    Server or Client. I could put something with the stereo and load the music on it. Share from it instead of share to it. My music library is currently at 20 gig, so a 32 gig device would work. A old PowerBook as well with any respectable hard drive. Or do I use the TimeCapsule or my low use MacMini server as a media server? What do I do if I want a second player in the Office?
    Sound quality. Yeah, it has to be there, audiophile wise.
    Audio Sources.
    Play a single CD. This is where is gets a little complicated for gear. I do like the option of listening to a cd prior to burning it to iTunes. This starts to require a CD player connected to a iOS device, which is not yet availanble, so drives the gear selection into an older PowerBook. or maybe just add a single disk CD player to a iOS device and let the amplifier select the source.
    FM. It would be nice if the device would get FM so I could toss the tuner as well.
    Display. My existing CD player permits display of the disk and track, which kinda *****. I would like to know the artist, song and album, so remote control comes back into play here.
    Cost. A replacement 5 disk CD player costs about $30 at the local thrift store. New around $200 - $300. I'm getting refurbished iPod 8gb touchs gen4 for $100. I see ebay has iPad 16 gig for around $200. Set the budget around $250. Maybe more christmas is coming   : )/
    Brand. Been thinking Apple as iTunes sharing is easy, but would consider another brand if the price and quality supported the idea.
    Shortlist. Old PowerBook, an iOS device as  client players or a stand alone player with out sharing to it but from it. Haven't looked close to see if they meet the functionality of an old CD player.
    Workflow. How can we add CD music to the server from any client on the network? How do I change playlists? From the remote control? Can I operate the player from the stereo?
    On Hand Gear. My network is running a pair of iMac 24's, iPad gen2, iPhone 3GS 32Gb, iPod gen4 8 Gb, Time Capsule (500Gb), MacMini Server (w/2 500 Gb drives in a RAID 1 config) with SLS. I have several PowerBooks: 17" G4, 14" G3; I could sell or use, USB external CD rw.
    Any recommendations would be appreciated, I have some time before the CD player tanks and Christmas list sent to Santa.

    What does itunes do on a G4?
    Will itunes work under 10.4 with iTune 9 on a G3?
    So back to the G4 1.67 GHz running 10.5.8 with iTunes 10. Adding Home Sharing  to this computer required deauthorising one of the other 5 authorised computers. Also I noticed I must be logged into a user in order for Home Sharing to see the other library... Or atleast that user has to have iTunes running. I logged into my test user account and opened iTunes account as user Tech, found the library on the TC (why doesn't iTunes remember this ?, maybe it has to bee conected to the TC) , shabam the library shows up on the PowerBook G4. Started playing the Tragically Hip , logged out and expected the library to stop sharing but no, I was still able to play from the logged out accout, as long as iTunes was running. Sure enough as soon as I logged back in to that user account and quit iTunes running fron the TC library, the sharing stop. No warning of a connected user though!
    So what about Home Sharing on a Pismo? I fired up the old guy PowerBook bronze keyboard G3 400 MHz, 512 mb ram, running 10.4.11 and iTunes what? iTunes 4, oh yeah, from the iLife 05 install. I need to update to iTunes 9 but before that I should try to see if it can play from the TC. Well no it can't . I can see the TC and load the library but no songs show up in iTunes 4. Must be incompatible file format. I can't see any shared libraries either.
    So I download iTunes 9.2.1 from Apple. Thanks for supporting older machines.  hmmm. installer says iTunes 9.2.1 requires a G4, yet it lets me install into the G3... let's wait for the install to complete and see what is up wit dat... well it installed... but will it run? no, iTunes installs, but it won't run on a G3, it wants a G4 or better.
    So the story goes that for Home Sharing we stop at G4, G3 not invited to the party. Good thing the Pismo just sold on eBay.
    The discussion on Home Entertainment Network over at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15843219#15843219 brings up another thing to test.
    Can I stream the same music to multiple locations? Can I play the same music in the office and the living room? How does Apple handle this?
    My other thought here is, since the TC has a back up of my music why can't I just play that version. Why do I need to back up my music? Guess I could not back up the Music folder in TC but store the music in the TC.

  • HT1947 Why can't I see all songs for an artist when using iPad remote for home sharing music through apple tv.

    Why can't I see all my songs for an artist when I search by artist using iPad remote? I'm listening to music via home sharing through apple tv using iPad 2 as my remote. All my songs seem to be listed fine under "songs", but when I select "artist" many of the songs I have for that artist are not there, any idea why that is or how I can fix this.....I suspect it's because many songs may not be associated with an album and it seems only songs in albums are displayed when I search by artist.

    Thanks Ferretbite, but that's not the issue in my case, the songs are not part of a compilation. I just checked several of them and the "Part of a compilation" box is unchecked.....it seems as if the song does not have an album associated with it, it will not display under the artist when I search by artist on the iPad remote which REALLY stinks.
    Hope someone else might have a solution.

  • HT4557 Need iOS 4.3 for Home Sharing

    I have a 2nd gen Touch. Running iOS 4.2.1. Ckd for update. Says its current version. Need 4.3 for Home Sharing. No generation limit listed for Touch in Home Sharing support. How can I get iOS 4.3? Is it available for 2g Touch?

    You didn't read my post above. I can't give you credit for the answer. Also, it appears that you are not familiar with the American idiom. I really couldn't care less what you prefer for me. You have no idea what my application is for Home Sharing.
    I am able to use Home Sharing to stream my music from iTunes on my computers to my various audio systems in the digital domain, preserving the original resolution of the files. I can use the iPad Camera Connection Kit with my iPad. I then have to use a USB DAC to convert the stream to analog. Tethering my iPad to my various systems is not always convenient. My iPhone works with Home Sharing using my Wadia 170 iTansport.This eliminates the need for a USB DAC. but i don't want to tie up my phone just to play music. This is why I would like to use my 2g Touch.
    I'm sure the iOS version limitation has to do with the CPU in the Touch, but it is exasperating, especially when there is conflicting information on the Apple support site about iOS 4.3 being required and then saying iOS 4.2.1 is OK with AppleTV. Also, the instructions listed for using the iOS devices are incorrect. There is no Settings>iPod selection. It is Settings>Music for iPhone, iPad, and even version 4.2.1 on the Touch.

  • HT4352 I'm using the correct APPLE ID and password for Home Sharing on my computer but my AppleTv is not accepting it?  What's up with that???

    I'm using the correct APPLE ID and password for Home Sharing on my computer but my AppleTv is not accepting it?  What's up with that???

    I have the exact same issue. I also tried resetting my password. I can log in to iTunes on my laptop with the new password, on to my iPhone iTunes, but my Apple TV says it cannot recognize my password. I just did an Apple Tv software update a few days ago.
    I am able to log in to Netflix on my Apple TV just fine. I did not have to re-enter my password for that.
    Very frustrating. I hope Apple can figure this out soon and post a fix.
    Thanks for any advice.  Cheers.

  • Having trouble setting up home network for home sharing

    Hi there, I'm new the idea of home sharing. What i want to do is watch the movies that i have on my iMac on my iPad. So sort of like wireless streaming.
    I see that Home sharing on iTunes allows you to view videos stored on your iMac on another device like the iPad etc.
    I've already setup Home sharing accounts and looged in on iTunes on both my iMac and iPad.
    The problem is being on the same Wi-Fi network. I don't understand what this means.
    I regualrly use Internet sharing to share my Macs internet connection with my iPad over WiFi.
    But I'm not sure what setting I should use for home sharing to work to watch videos from iMac on iPad
    On my iMac under Sharing there's a whole bunch of options DVD or CD sharing, File Sharing, Printer Sharing etc.
    The only box i have checked is Internet Sharing..
    What to i have to do to get the iMac and iPad sharing video over WiFi through home sharing??

    In your configuration you have inadvertently created a different subnet for the wireless iMac G5. To remedy this, configure the AirPort Express so that the option to distribute IP addresses is DISABLED.

    I recently updated to Yosemite and never had this issue before.

    I'm not 100% sure of the ins and outs, but it's some sort of known issue between Yosemite, Airport and wifi. All you can do is wait for a fix and keep restarting your equipment as and when needed, unless you have the ability to connect your Mac via ethernet.

  • Can you use home sharing for photos?

    That is really crappy. Oh well thank you

  • So, I have created my home sharing from my base computer to my laptop. On my lap top I see the tab for home sharing but it will not let me connect to my computer to share my music over. I have done everything iTunes has told me to but it still won't work.

    So, I have created my home sharing from my base computer to my laptop. On my lap top I see the tab for home sharing but it will not let me connect to my computer to share my music over. I have done everything iTunes has told me to but it still won't work. Any help would make my day...

    I got some more info that may help.
    I put a cd on my laptop, and was able to share it to my computer... So the problem is only from my computer to my laptop. I tried the firewall thing and it did not help. I read the rest of the trouble shooting page, and nothing else applies. iTunes is an execption and already was. I can not think of anything else being my problem. Do you think I should re-install iTunes or would that be a waste of time? At this point I am about to just call Apple for some help because I am getting to stressed over this.
    Thanks

  • Apple ID for home sharing and iTunes Store should be the same?

    I've got 2 iTunes Store accounts, my girlfriend has one, and we're just moving in together.
    A few questions ...
    Can I create a 4th 'Apple ID' for our home sharing?
    Would we still be able to listen to each others libraries?
    Would we still be able to copy songs from one another, like I can with my 1 account between computers?
    Are there any other downsides to creating a separate account for home sharing?
    Thanks for your help.

  • HT4352 problem sharing iTunes with new Apple TV.(model MD199LL/A. I have iTunes and Apple TV set up with same address and passwords, enabled iTunes and Apple TV for home sharing and still nothing? I have latest iTunes and Apple TV update. Any other sugges

    Have a problem with Home Sharing with Apple TV and iTunes. Have latest iTunes and Apple TV downloads. Have both items set up for home sharing with same address and passwords. AppleTV running fine for everything else. FYI, my library is about 60gigs. AppleTV model is MD199LL/A if that matters. Really want to hear my entire music library and not just Purchased items. Thanks for any help!!!

    I have an older PC with Windows XP Professional on it. I updated to the latest iTunes and I am able to access the photos, etc. on it. However, my Windows 7 PC still does work (since last Apple TV update). Apple TV does not recognize that Home Sharing is turned here. The latter PC has all my current photos on it which I would like share with others on my Apple TV. A fix would be appreciated.
