I have set up my laptop for home sharing but my Mac does not appear?
I just purchased a HP laptop for work purposes and didn't want to put too many personal files on it, including music.
I thought I could use home sharing instead but it isn't working?
On my iMac, I have turned on home sharing and when my brother's Macbook is connected to the same WiFi, it let's me open up his library and play his muic on my iMac. I thought it would work the same way on my laptop.
So I've switched on Home Sharing on my laptop and connected it to WiFi but neither my iMac nor my brother's Macbook appears on the sidebar where it normally appears on my iMac. What do I have to do? Am I using the right feature? (home sharing)
Thanks in advance for any help
Hello Rahim.Alrai
The first thing is to make sure that you are using the same Apple ID on your HP laptop as the same one on the iMac and your brother’s computer. If all is good there, then check out the second article to troubleshoot the issue further.

To extend wifi range, I plugged in my airport extreme within exisitng range but the device does not appear in my airport utility (on the left of the screen). The airport extreme is blinking amber. Please advise. Thank you.
The AirPort Extreme can extend the signal from another Apple router wirelessly, so as long as you have a 802.11n version of the products, the extend function should work.
Please check to locate the Model No of both of your AirPort routers. It will be on the bottom of the device. Starts with an "A" followed by four numbers, as in "A x x x x".
Post back with that info.
We also need to know the version of AirPort Utility that you are using. If you are not sure, click the AirPort Utility menu in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About AirPort Utility and post back with tht info as well. -
I want to get some music from my wife's MacBook Pro via Home Sharing. We both have Home Sharing turned on. Her's displays the Home Sharing icon, and recognizes my library. My ACER will not display the Home Sharing icon, and I cannot access her library. I have verified I have the latest version of iTunes, I have turned Home Sharing off and on again, and still no icon.

My iPad Wi-Fi cellular 16 GB 4G switched off suddenly, even when the battery was 40% available. It is not switching on again, i have tried restarting by using sleep/wake button, but red slider does not appear. I kept it off like it was overnight, in the morning agin recharged it, but still it is not switching on. it is not responding, except when i connect the charger, it gives a blink noise that recharge has started. I removed the SIM and tried restart it but no response, What should i do to restart it please?
Seems to be working again, I haven't done anything though. And the "wifi" led on my laptop is off, which should mean that the interface is down.
This is driving me crazy I don't understand how the all thing works, if anyone has any tips that would be very nice.
Thanks! -
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.

Interestingly they both appear in the System Profiler, but just not working the same as before

I can't get Apple Tv to sync. I have opened a port (3689) for itunes sharing but it has not solved the issue. Any ideas?
do you mean sync or shared lib?
because unless you have the old silver alu appletv with a harddisk sync is not possible at all -
I bought a MacBook Pro I can not sign up for the updates, because I do not have credit card. Only own debit card, but the system does not accept. What can I do?
You do not need to "sign up" for downloading updates. Just run Software Update and let it access them directly thru the App Store.

hi, i need to deauthorize computers for home-sharing but i don't know which deviced they are. how can i identify them?
There's no list available from your end. If you're out of authorizations, use the Deauthorize All function.

I have a full Team subscription to Creative Cloud, but type kit does not allow me to use some fonts. Do I have to pay extra to have more fonts available to me?
Hi drewacg,
I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this. Are you the administrative contact on your Creative Cloud team subscription? The admin user doesn't receive the same set of services as a full seat, so you will have a Typekit Trial plan instead of the Portfolio plan.
You have the option of upgrading to the Portfolio level, though. If you would like to do that:
1) sign in at https://typekit.com/login with your Adobe ID and password
2) visit typekit.com/plans, and select the "upgrade" option underneath Portfolio
Your Typekit plan upgrade will be billed separately from your Creative Cloud payments. The Portfolio plan is $49.99/year.
I hope that this helps! If you have any questions, please feel free to send your Adobe ID information to [email protected] and we can look into it further for you. Best,

On the slowness...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free Disk space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?
