I keep getting the "unable to turn on Home Sharing" message on my phone.

Every time I try to share my library, I get the "Unable to turn on Home Sharing" when its done. I put in my apple ID in correctly on both devices. (iPhone 4s and PC.)

The following indicates an incorrect password as one possible cause: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4557

  • Unable to Turn on Home Sharing after iTunes upgrade

    After the latest iTunes upgrade onYosemite, I get an 'Unable to Turn on Home Sharing' error on my 2 Apple TVs plus iPhone and iPad.  Previously, I had no problem.  I have restarted and reset my iTune on my MacBook plus all the devices now receiving an error message and the inability to utilize Home Sharing.
    I can send videos to my Apple TVs from my MacBook through AirPlay, so this is not a network error.

  • HT3275 I keep getting the "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to backup volume.  The solution on the website is try try again.  Its been trying for 5 days now.  Now what?  Obviously something else needs to be done.

    I'm using an airport extreme and I keep getting the "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to backup volume.  The solution on the website is try try again.  Its been trying for 5 days now.  Now what?  Obviously something else needs to be done.

    Verify the backup.
    Is this TM you are using? TM to airport extreme connected hard disk are known to be fragile at best.

    make sure the disk is available and online..
    But if it is not working.. then you will have to wipe and start again.

    If this is not TM then also verify the source disk.

  • I'm trying to download some purchased TV shows to my iPad Air.  I keep getting the dreaded Download Error Tap to Retry Message.  I've signed out of iTunes and back in.  I've updated my software.  I have plenty of room for them on the Air.  Help?

    I'm trying to download some purchased TV shows to my iPad Air.  I keep getting the dreaded Download Error Tap to Retry Message.  I've signed out of iTunes and back in.  I've updated my software.  I have plenty of room for them on the Air.  We are taking a long flight this week, and I wanted to have something new to watch.  I've read through lots of threads on this but I can't seem to find a good solution that I haven't tried.
    If I can get them to download them on my iMac computer, can I then transfer them to my iPad?  How is this done?  (Please pardon an older lady's ignorance, and thank you for any assistance!)

  • Can't install updates for Flash, get the "unable to install application configuration" error message

    I'm using Windows 7 32-bit with Firefox 17.0.1 -- everything's up to date.  I keep getting this error every time I try to update an Adobe add-on using the idiot stub installer -- I don't have this problem with a full installer, such as I've been able to find for Shockwave.  Why can't I donwload a full installer for Flash or Reader and avoid this stupid problem???  It started about two or three Windows updates ago, and nothing else is now on my system.  I don't really care who's responsible (Windows/Microsoft or Adobe) -- I jut want the blasted things to update and work.  HELP!!!

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to search for an item named "Safari Extensions List". If found, delete it. Quit Keychain Access.
    Quit and relaunch Safari.

  • I keep getting the "An error occurred loading this content" message

    How do I fix the "An error occurred loading this content" message?

    ATV2 with latest October 2014 update.
    Same problem here as well. Downloaded an update back in August because it was forcing it down my throat. Ever since then I've been having the same problem over and over. I downloaded the most recent update (October 2014) and the issue was not fixed. I've restarted, rebooted, waited, downloaded most recent software, done 42 headstands, gone to counseling and still no changes. I don't have cable but watch Netflixx and Youtube on my ATV for entertainment. Netflixx and Youtube are not issues on my phone or computer. I believe this is an ATV issue.
    Come on Apple, whats going on with you guys recently? Your quality in products is declining, people are starting to buy other than Apple products, and it doesn't seem like you guys really care for the consumer. I've been a die hard Apple guy owning iphone, macbook, and ATV but strongly considering switching. Calling the Apple gurus who know things about stuff. CAN YOU PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE IF YOU WANT TO KEEP ME AS A CUSTOMER????????
    Has anyone successfully fixed their ATV issue?

  • Unable to turn on home sharing

    My iPad will not allow me to sync with movies that are in my itunes library on my desktop computer, despite the fact that my apple TV
    will allow this

    Settings>Music or Videos>Home Sharing. Sign into your Apple ID in order to enable home sharing on the iPad. You don't sync videos on the iPad, you stream the movies to the device over WiFi.
    You have to be signed into the same Apple ID on the iPad as you are signed into on the iPad.

  • I keep getting "the network connection could not be established" error message when trying to update my iPads and iPhone to iOS 5.1

    I keep getting "the network connection could not be established" message when trying to update my iPad, iPad2 and iPhone4 devices using either my iMac or MacBook.  The Macs and iOS devices are apparently working correctly otherwise.  Problem started about a day ago when I connected one of the iPads to my iMac and iTunes notified my of an update for the device.  I tried and got the above message.  Tryied other iPad2 and iPhone4 and get the same message.  Also, get same message when trying to update using the MacBook. My system SW is 10.7.3 on the iMac and 10.6.8 on MacBook.  iTunes is version 10.6. Have gone thru the check list of things to check and have re-started. Would appreciate any ideas. Thanks.

    Another user named Springbk posted a fix that worked for me as I was having the same problem today:
    I Changed my DNS settings to OpenDNS
    On a Mac go to SYSTEM PREFERENCES>NETWORK>ADVACED>DNS
    change DNS by adding ( + )
    208.67.222.222
    then
    208.67.220.220
    click okay/apply after. then try the update. after the update, just delete the two open DNS server numbers. should revert back to your old one.

  • I keep getting the disc to slow or system overload on logic x.

    I keep getting the disc to slow or system overload message on logic x. I have read that the answer is to use and internal ssd drive or fire wire but I am confused about how these are fitted and which is the best one.

    There loads of advice on the overload/slow issue just search the web with your error message and 'Logic'.
    I just discovered that the backup process can cause this issue on its own so that might also be one to consider.

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

    I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
    By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
    Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

  • Trying to connect to a known internet connection but i keep getting the response "unable to join network"

    Trying to connect to a known internet connection but I keep getting the response "Unable to join network" and the internet is connected, please help.

    Okay now this description was pretty vague but it could be a few things. First thing to try. Turn wifi off and then one again and try to connect. If this fails read on.
    The second step is to select that network in the wifi settings so you get an expanded menu of it. Follow these steps from the home menu on your ipad... SETTINGS>Wi-FI>NETWORK NAME (you have to click the little blue arrow)> FORGET THIS NETWORK. Then turn wifi off and then on. Then try to connect again. If this fails... well read on,
    Okay, so now you really know it's most likely not your ipad, so go on down to your wifi router and turn it off, wait ten seconds, turn it on again. WITH YOUR IPAD OFF. Then turn on your ipad on and then try to connect again. If this fails... Then you'll have to do some more complex things. You could try setting up the network again. IF that fails too. Leave some details about your router, brand, year etc... And I'll try to let you know what else it could be.
