I have run the gambit of Home Sharing Trouble Shooting and still have no shared folder on my Touch. WTH?

I'm at a loss. I have done everything on Apple's Troubleshooting list to try to access my laptops music files on my Touch, but there is still no Shared folder in the More section of my Touch's music. I've restarted and updated everything, unathorized and reauthorized both devices, toggled home sharing on/off, allowed the relevant ports to pass through my router's Firewall, and have turned off the Firewall on my laptop. Nothing. Nada. It is a 4th gen Touch. ***.
Does anybody have a hail mary of an idea to get this freaking home sharing to work on my Touch? Grrrr.

So. When i turn search for my library from my ipad the little grey boxes appear with the names of the tv shows on them before the artwork is loaded. but on the 5 shows im having an issue with they remain blank.
I then deleted thhe 5 shows from my library and then re added one ofthem only changing the info-name to aaaaaaa and changing it from a home movie to tv programe. This did work for a short while. the name appeared on my ipad with the correct tv show cover. then after about a minute the name went blank and the album cover changed to a cd in my music library.
I had a similar issue with some of my other tv shows. i.e. when i tapped american dad on my i pad, there was 2 little boxes that said no season. so i clicked on the top one and it was just the pilot. so i went in to itunes to investigate and in the metadata the artist had been filled in as (1). so i deleted the number from the artist pane and that sorted that issue out. i checked the rest of the tv programs and there were a few issues but using the same method that sorted them all out.
I then went back to sort out the other 5 shows out. i ticked every box in the metadata to clear everything and put the show name as show 1. and changed from home video to tv program. when i added the show again the same thing happened. Appears with no show name. then after a minute it changes the picture again. Ill keep posting updates until its fixed. cheers

My phone won't turn on. I have tried the Power button home button several times and even held it for over 3 minutes.. When I plug it in it still won't respond to itunes PLEASE HELP!! A little water got in it but it was like a drop or two..

My Iphone 4g, won't turn on, I have tried the power button + home button several times and held them for over 3 minutes. It won't even respond to Itunes and I can't restore it because of that. A little water got into it before it completely shut off but it was like little drops.. Please HELPP.
I also have tried to put it in rice and left it there for 9 hours and it still doesn't work

A drop or two of water may have been enough to cook it. If it was bad enough to prompt you to put it in a bag of rice, then I'd venture to guess it was more than a drop or two.
Try putting it back in the bag of rice and leave it there for several days.
If that doesn't fix it, then you're more than likely looking at paying for an out of warranty replacement.
Water and delicate electronics don't generally get along well.

I purchased the light room program on jan 14 and still have not received payment receipt confirmation or download link.

hello i purchased the LR program and still have not receive an email with the downloadable info. however i did receive they had confirmation of my order and it was currently being processed and that i would receive and email within 24hrs with payment confirmation and the link to download my program. so far i have not received either of those and its been 10 days. really need that program, i have customers photos i need to edit.

A quick trip to Google would confirm that you don't need a "special" link from which to download the software:

My6 month old ipod touch will no turn on. I have tried holding both the power buton and the home button to no avail. I have it plugged in and still nothing. Any hope for restoring it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How can I keep iTunes on my Mac but the Movies on an external hard drive and still have them accessible to my Apple TV etc through Home Sharing?

I have a 2TB external hard drive that I want to store my ripped movies on and free up space on my Mac. How can I do this?

Is there a reason you don't want to keep your entire iTunes folder on the external.
Everything will work just fine and it is simpler if everything in iTunes is in one location (the iTunes folder).
Copy entire /Music/iTunes/ folder to external.
Hold Option and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the external.
That is all you need to do.

Hi, Brian.
Setting up a new iCloud account is not necessary or recommended if you no longer have access to the old e-mail address. You can change your iCloud ID or Apple ID primary e-mail address by following the steps below.

I have so many pictures on my photo stream and camera roll. I synced them to my computer, the ones on my photo stream. can I delete the pictures in my camera roll? and still have the pictures on my computer? or do i have to save them from icloud folder to

Hi, i am an idiot when it comes to this. I have so many pictures on my photo stream and camera roll. i cant even take anymore pictures or even update to ios7. I synced my pictures to my PC, i think. can i know delete my camera roll or will my pictures disappear from my computer? im so confused!!

If you delete photo stream photos from your phone they will be deleted from the my photo stream album on your PC. Before doing that, be sure to copy or move them to a different folder on your computer.
Deleting camera roll photos won't delete anything from your computer. If you import them to your computer using your usb cable as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, you will get an option to delete them from your phone after they are imported.

I'm relatively new to Mac and want to try and get the most out of the new MacBook Air.
My wife and I have been sharing the same Apple ID. We both have iPhones - she has a 5 and I've got a 4S.
We only have one copy of iTunes and we have been sharing the account. (She doesn't really use the computer for anything beyond writing the odd weekend assignment.)
Would I be better off setting her up with her own and making her as a separate user on the computer? Would this require much work?
In recent times with updates, we have a few problems with the duplication of texts and that sort of thing. Both of our texts are stored on the computer and that sort of thing. Also, sometimes texts I send her are sent through to me from her, if that makes any sense.
Anyway, I don't really want to overly complicate matters when it comes to accounts etc, but I wanted to know if a fresh Apple ID would be the best thing or even a new user?
Any tips etc would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
MacBook
I have this question too (0) Reply

Your question is almost too much a personal one, begging the question "do we (husband and wife) feel comfy sharing one account on the Mac"   maybe thats why nobody answered you.
It doesnt complicate anything, but it adds steps for switching accounts on the Mac/ purchases etc. of course
since your question is mostly personal, ..I wont answer THAT part of it, but creating a new account is easy.....messing with switching back and forth is also a personal preference 'issue' as well.   I prefer to keep things simple, but...........you and yours, I dont know.......

Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

You can't gift it, gifting can only be done from within the store, not from within your library.
Puchases are considered final but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
