I only want Home Sharing to ONLY show selected playlists

How do I get my 2010 AppleTV to only see selected content from my iTunes Library? I went into iTunes, Preferences, Sharing, and selected Share selected playlists. Then I picked a few of them. Trouble is, I am still seeing my full library when I view it under Computers on the AppleTV. What am I doing wrong?

This is frustrating. I have all the latest models and OS's running, and there is no way to hide my iTunes **** stash from AppleTV. On Thanksgiving, everyone wanted to see pictures of the new house, and I was soooo excited to show everyone house snazzy AppleTV was and how you could look through photos from the computer. And then I realized navigating through the menus that it was probable there would be video thumbnails popping up on the screen that I would have to blaze by to get to the photos tab. Not good. I aborted the mission midstream, and had to blame 'technology' and resort of pulling out the computer. Clearly, Apple is not designing software for those of us who mingle our **** with the rest of our lives. The checkbox thing does not work. The parental controls do not work (either on AppleTV or in iTunes). I suppose the best way to hide certain stuff is to create a different library for iTunes and then select that library when you open iTunes. Then it seems there would be no way things could slip through the cracks...so to speak.

  • Home sharing no longer shows up on my macbook pro iTunes.

    Home sharing no longer shows up on my macbook pro iTunes. Our main computer is a Dell desktop that is authorized for home sharing. My macbook has also turned on home sharing, but the home computer does not show up. How exactly does home sharing work? Must you be in the same area to be able to use this feature or connected to the same network?

    you will need both computer have itunes turned on and you will need a wifi for them to work.

  • All of a sudden my home sharing computer is showing up multiple times on my apple TV.

    All of a sudden my home sharing computer is showing up multiple times on my apple TV.  When I go into the home sharing selection my computer shows up 2-3 times.  It is now happening on both my 2nd and 3rd gen Apple TV.  Does anyone else have this?  How do I fix this?  Thanks!

    Weird.  Restart everything including your router.

    Can itune home sharing support slides show from 3 or more apple tvs simoutaneously ?

    In theory yes provided your network is up to it - more likely to be stable on a wired connection.

  • IPhone Home Sharing Music not showing in iTunes

    Hi All,
    I have successfully set up Home Sharing on two separate iPhones using the same Apple ID and on my MacBook Air iTunes.  I can view and play the Air's music library on both of the iPhones.  However, in iTunes on the MacBook Air, the iPhones are not showing up under Shared.  Actually, the "Shared" category is not showing up at all.  Is there some reason the iPhone music libraries are not on the iTunes on the MacBook Air.  How can I fix this?
    Recap:
    Home sharing set up on 2 iPhone and on laptop
    iPhone can play laptop music as shared
    iTunes on laptop does not show iPhone music libraries
    iTunes on laptop does not show "Shared" at all.
    Thanks!

    Installing iTunes and logging in with an Apple ID has never caused content to magically appear.
    The content is only where you put it.
    Copy it from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer.

  • Ovi Suite 3.0.0.290 only showing some playlists co...

    Hi,
    i have created around 20 playists in ovi for my music and copied them 1 by 1 to the device.
    I have just connected my phone to add some more music and in the section where it refreshes and displays what music is on the device, its now only showing 6 of those playlists however all of the music is still on the phone.
    Does anyone have any idea whats happening here? i want to see whats on the device in OVI.
    Thanks.

    I am having exactly the same problem. Everything syncs except Calendar events.
    Nokia C7 fully updated
    Ovi Suite 3.0.0.290
    Outlook 2003 (Spanish version)
    Windows Vista fully patched  (Spanish version)
    When I select the sync options Ovi Suite correctly identifies the folder in Outlook.
    Notes in Outlook sync fine.
    I fixed one other previous problem by making sure I only had one profile under "control panel/mail. So that is not the issue.
    Any help?

  • Home sharing icon not showing up.

    I enabled home sharing on my Dell desktop, HP laptop, and my MacBook. The home shring icon isn't showing up on the sidebar on both my Dell and HP. It is showing up on my MacBook, but that doesn't really help because I want to transfer the music from my Dell to the MacBook and HP. I tried the troubleshooting, including downloading the lastest version of iTunes and turning home shoring off then on, but nothing worked. Any ides or suggestions?

    more often than not, this issue is due to network and/or firewall settings. check out these links:

    and, last but not least, see this discussion concerning bonjour being the culprit.

  • I activated home sharing but nothing shows up on my apple tv. Please help

    My apple desk top and Mac book pro have the home sharing turned on but I can't see it on the apple tv.

    I have the same issue with the new Apple TV (3rd gen).
    I have two libraries on one machine which is connected to the LAN via Ethernet. Homeshare has been setup with the same Apple ID for both libraries and both accounts are logged in (using fast user switching), with iTunes running.
    My iPad and iPhone can see both libraires and stream content from them over wifi. The ATV can see both libraries, but will only load content from one of them, and not always the one that belongs to the currently logged in user. The other, just gives the "could not connect to library. make sure your computer has itunes open, and that its on the same network as Apple TV." error, as above.
    The network connection is fine, the ATV is up-to-date, as is iTunes and OSx. HomeShare is enabled on all devices and using the same Apple ID. I've tried rebooting, restoring the ATV, rebooting iTunes on both accounts and the Mac itself. Nothing works. 
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Home sharing enabled, not showing up in itunes menu

    I have two pcs and I have enabled home sharing for both and made sure I am signed in under the same apple id for both, but "Sharing

    I found that switching homesharing off and then turning it back on for me cleared the issue.

  • Home sharing doesn't show up in music

    I last used home sharing  about a week ago, and I decided to play my library threw my ipad and it has decided to not show my home sharing in the music app. My home sharing works perfictly in the remote app. I dont know if whats up and I dont personaly know any one with an ipad, for help.

    I understand. When you home share using the iPad, you are able to play the music (or videos using the videos app) on you iPad directly. The sound will come through the iPad and the video appear on the iPad. The remote app is exactly what it sounds like it would be - a remote control to play the music library on the computer. The sound goes through the computer, not the iPad.
    Did you turn on Home Sharing on the PC? In iTunes on the PC - Did you go to Edit>Preferences>Sharing>Share my library on my local network>Share Entire Library?
    Maybe these will help.

  • Home sharing library not showing up

    I have set up home sharing between my two computers, my old computer (secondary), and new computer (primary). Now they are on a good internet connection, and I am able to find them on my home sharing list, however, when I select my old computer's library on my new computer's iTunes, I see a screen saying "Loading 'Secondary Computer'...", for a few seconds, then it simply goes back to the main music screen without accessing my old library. I have tried restarting itunes on both computers, as well as restarting the systems themselves. Please help? I dont understand why my new computer can find my old one, but not sync correctly...
    Windows XP home 32 on old computer, Windows 7 home 64 on new, but that shouldnt be an issue, right?

    More info: I have tried accessing my secondary computer's library from a laptop as well. My primary computer can use my laptop's library, and vise versa. My secondary computer can use both my primary computer's and laptop's libraries. But neither my laptop or my primary computer can access the library from my secondary computer (which is the one with all my actual music!) Not sure what could be causing this computer's library to not be accessible by any other itunes home sharing devices...
