I have turned on home sharing but the house icon does not appear. Have read a blog that says it is not set up correctly am i missing something here?

I had home tuning running fine on my mac. Since introducing apple tv the home sharing house icon is missing and will not allow me to drag and drop from home sharing. I have read other blogs that say if the house icon does not appear then home sharing is not set up correctly. Any suggestions as it seems to be running fine except for letting me move files.

see if anything in this support article helps.

  • Is it possible to share iBook purchases with my wife.  I have turned on home sharing but it only permits her to share my music.

    I would like to share books that I have purchased either on my mac or Ipad with my wife who also has her own mac and Ipad.  I have activated home sharing but am only able to share my music.  Is there a way to share my iBooks with her.  It seems like such a waste to purchase a book and be the only one in my family able to read it.

    Homesharing was not turned on on my computer.  I turned it on and it works just fine.  Thank you for your help.  Happy holidays!!

    I cannot find 'Turn on Home Sharing' in the advanced menu.  Why not?

    I have this issue as well however to make things work I either have to stop and restart the home sharing on the iTunes Library or re logon to the iTunes account via the Apple TV......these solutions suck but they do work.

    No, your Yahoo account is not in iCloud (which only handles iCloud mail), it is in Yahoo, and the Yahoo mail account is on your iPad.
    But the MacBook Pro will have none of it! I write this question now as I fear that I will be totally demented very soon and unable to formulate my thoughts clearly!
    Get the correct settings for your account from Yahoo and set it up manually.
    By the way, I also find the "password" issue problematical. It seems Apple want my Apple password rather than my eMail password. All very confusing.
    That would depend on what you are trying to do.

  • I have selected to have photos in my icloud but the photo folder does not appear.

    I have selected to have photos in my icloud but the photo folder does not appear in icloud. There are many folders, like mail, but none for photos.

    You can see photo stream photos on icloud.com.  You can only see them on an iOS device or computer that is signed into your account with photo stream enabled.  If you want to see them on the web, you would have to add the photos to a shared stream using the public website option enabled (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99).  This gives you a private url allowing you to view them from any computer browser.

  • I have forgot my security questions but the reset bar does not show

    i have forgot my security questions but the reset bar does not show

    If you aren't getting the reset link on your account then you don't have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account, and you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions - you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps on this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620

  • JButton tool tip shows up but the rollover icon does not.

    I put a JButton into a cell in JTable. When the mouse moves over the button, the tool tip shows up, but the rollover icon does not.
    If I click the button, then both tool tip and rollover icon will behave correctly.
    Is that a bug?

    The JTable doesn't know it's a button. It knows it's a JComponent, and a TableRenderer only. Tooltips are from JComponent. JTable can't sit there and analyze the renderer components to cover all the possible bases for what a component might do.
    The key thing to understand is that the JTable basically takes a screenshot of the returned component.
    The only way I know to do what you want is to add a mouse listener to the table, figure out the cell moused over, and update something in the model that can tell the renderer component to go to a mouse over state for table to repaint with.

  • TS1647 My Macbook Pro will not print anything from any program. I've reinstalled the drivers. I get an error message in Word that says, "Word could not communicate with printer." Any ideas?

    My Macbook Pro will not print anything from any program. I've reinstalled the drivers. I get an error message in Word that says, "Word could not communicate with printer." Any ideas?

    Be sure to try restarting, if you have not done so since this problem occurred.  You should also power off the printer while you do the restart...
    If that does not help, you can try resetting the printing system.  Open System Preferences Print & Scan (or Print & Fax) pane.  In the sidebar with list of printers, right (control) click anywhere.  Select Reset printing system.  You will have to add back your printers after you do this.

  • I purchased an album from the itunes store on my ipad2 thinking i could retrieve it from my windows pc. I have turned on home sharing and can see my pc library from the ipad but not vice-versa. Is there any way to transfer the album from my ipad library?

    I purchased an album from the itunes store on my Ipad2 thinking i could access it from my windows laptop where I sync my ipod. I turned on Home Sharing and can see my laptop libraries from my ipad but not vice versa. Is there any way to fix this so I can transfer the album to the itunes on my laptop?

    Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

    Is both computer on the same local network?
    Is both computer iTunes authorize with the same AppleID (iTunes menu Store)?

    Correct, there's no shared folder option.
    If the above are done right and both computer iTunes are up and running, you'll see in iTunes left panel the iTunes library of the other computer iTunes library.
