I have to turn off and on Home Sharing for things to work, why?

I have three AT2 (latest firmware) in the house, all on wifi through an airport extreme. I have a windows 7 box in the basement hardwired to the airport extreme as the server. Everything is fine until i either restart the windows 7 box or restart itunes. When ever i have to do either, i have to goto the at2 and go into home sharing setting and turn it off and then back on for my library to come up. It works almost everytime but its a little annoying considering it has to be done on all three at2. I dont have a problem with it as much as my kids who are too young to firgure it out. But once i do turn it off and then back on, everything is fine until the next time i either restart the windows 7 box or restart itunes. Any ideas?

    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and then restore via iTunes:

  • Everytime I export from FCP using comressor I am lose my audio, any ideas as to why this is happening. Or do I have somthing turned off and I am just missing it? Dual 2.7 Ghz PowerPC G5 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM, Mac OS X (10.4.6)

    Exporting via Compressor may be recommended but it is slow and doesn't fully support all available filters, etc.
    Try exporting the timeline as a QT Movie (the "normal" export) using Current Settings and them submit the resultant clip to Compression. Works for me...

  • Everyone 5 or 10 minutes I have to turn off and on the wifi.

    Hi... Every 5 or 10 minutes I have to turn off and on the wifi if im using safari or anything else, like email or apps that need the wifi. Also if im not using the ipad and i pick it up to use it i first have to turn off and on the wifi otherwise it will not load the pages. I only have my ipad a month now and its been like it from the first day.Any solutions to this problem?

    mhmediaonline I had tried that before but it didn't change anything. About two days I went to a cafeteria and I couldn't connect to the wifi but two friends who also have iPads connected without a problem. I also noticed yesterday that it took a whole day for the wifi to get stuck and that I didn't have to turn off and on the wifi,I just pressed Renew Lease and the wifi was ok. Have any other iPad users encountered the same problem? Any other suggestions?

  • HT4904 I need to repair my start up disc so I have to start up from installation disc. In doing so, my computer restarts, I hear the mac sound, then a grey screen and then turns off and goes on in this cycle endlessly. Why can't I restart from disc?

    I need to repair my start up disc so I have to start up from installation disc. In doing so, my computer restarts, I hear the mac sound, then a grey screen and then turns off and goes on in this cycle endlessly. Why can't I restart from disc?

    Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
      1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
      2. Restart the computer.
      3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
      4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
          logo appears.
      5. Wait for installer to finish loading.

  • HT201412 My husbands ipad is frozen have tried turning off and on again any suggestions please

    My husbands ipad is frozen we have tried turning it off and on again any other suggestions please

    Did you reboot?
    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.

  • Why do I have to turn off and on my HP office jet 7500A every time I want to print a page?  I can print one and imediatly try to print a second and it says it cant be found on the network.

    Since going up to Lion I am having problems with my HP Officejet 7500A printer.  It is on the network wirrelessly.  After every page I have to turn the printer off and back on again because my mac cant find the printer on the network.  The windows mechines here can still find it, but not my Mac Pro.  What is going on?
    Obviously I have it set up right because I can print to it.  problem is my mac thinks it goes off line every time I tell it to print another document. 
    Anyone know of a fix?
    Thanks!

    Lion may have replaced files that partially made up your printer drivers. Either way, HP saw fit to make a new set of drivers specifically for 10.7 so you may want to use it simply to avoid any bugs tehy found.

  • I keep getting the spinning ball and have to turn off and then turn on again

    Hello,
    I keep getting the spinning ball and however long I leave it it still continues.  The only way to continue is to turn off, wait and then turn on again.
    I am by no means an expert so would appreciate any help.
    Many thanks
    Sue

    Sue,

  • I have to turn off ZOne ALarm web security for Firefox to open properly

    I have Firefox 5.0 and Zone Alarm Extreme Security (10.0.246.000). When I open Firefox I get the welcome screen, as if I have just downloaded Firefox (no home page and no bookmarks - options are set at default). So, I close the browser and disable Zone Alarm Web Security and reopen Firefox. My home page and bookmarks load properly, options as previously set. I turn on ZA Web Security and all is fine until I close Firefox - then I have to do this all over again.

    P.S. This copy of a post by BadK_FFox (from last week) may also help:

    Firefox 5 will not start with Zone Alarm Ver 10.0.240.000<br>
    '''Quote:'''
    I'm running Win7 x64 with ZoneAlarm Extreme Security 10.0.241.000
    I had the same problem with Firefox 4. After turning off ForceField Toolbar, it started working fine.
    Then I updated to Firefox 5 and it wouldn't start, instead it was showing an error message from ZA...
    I searched mozilla support and followed the instructions here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up on the topic"Firefox does not start after updating with ZoneAlarm ForceField enabled".
    The correct instructions for this ZA version should be: "Internet -> Web Security -> Settings, and click Clear Virtual Data"
    After that I could open Firefox again! Then I realized it was still version 4... I installed the update, and everything went smooth. Checked again if Forcefield toolbar was inactive (it was) and opened a few pages, closed Firefox and opened again. After a while it wouldn't open...
    AGAIN the "Clear Virtual Data" did the trick...
    This time I clicked on Settings (next to "Clear Virtual Data") -> Advanced Settings, and turned off "Enable Virtualization".
    Until ZA get a fix for this, either we turn it off or clear virtual data every few moves...

  • Home sharing for iTunes not working between my Windows 7 and Windows Vista?

    I have a HP laptop with Windows 7 on it. The laptop has the latest edition of iTunes. My desktop computer has Windows Vista and iTunes 9. When I turn on home sharing, the library on my Windows 7 appears under 'Shared' on my vista. However, the library from my vista will NOT appear on my laptop.
    I have turned the home sharing option on and off multiple times on both computers. I've also edited the preferences for the 'Sharing' option to make sure that both libraries can be seen and shared. Yet it still isn't working. I have even tried restarting my wireless router and it STILL is not working.
    Is anyone else having a similar problem or know how to help?

    No, but there is a developer tool that you can add a custom size to. It is called Responsive Design View.
