I turned off home sharing but I'm still getting my other family members' stuff. How do I fix that?f
It says it's off but I'm still getting my other family members' stuff. Some of my family members think that it has something to do with the cloud.
Your other family member photos or music? If it is photos, you can check out this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4379
If it is music, check this out: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2972
Home sharing refers specifically to sharing your own iTunes (music) library over your network.

I have been sharing I-cloud with other family members. How do I change my i-cloud setting on my i-phone so as to creare my own account?
If you want to keep your iCloud data, you would need to migrate your device and a copy of the data to a new account. To migrate to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; others keeping the account will not be effected by this), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on your own account, you can go to icloud.com and manually delete any data you don't want in your account without effecting anyone else. -
I've turned off both home sharing and turned off the link from my computer to my remote via AppleTV but when I hit play on my remote to control appleTV, my itunes always opens and starts playing on my Macbook Pro. Has this happened to ahyone else? I cannot get it to stop. The only solution right now is to completely turn off my computer if I want to use appleTV.
Thanksdefault then remotes control all devices unless you bind it to a device you do that in settings
and home sharing don't have any impact on remotes -
Use 2nd gen apple tv and remote control app on iphones and ipad. We can control some functions on the apple tv but unable to purchase, access such controls as reset, restart, turn off home sharing, etc. Home sharing stuck on old apple ID. Please help.
That is why I said to restore via iTunes, did you check the link?
This will put it back to factory settings and you can set it up with the new ID once you reconnect with your HDTV. This is not done via ethernet, as per the link you need to connect to the computer via micro usb. You cannot bypass home sharing.
FYI: An Apple ID cannot be deleted so the old one would still exist (even if you no longer use the email account it is associated with). -
sharing does not show up on the side column ... tried turning off home sharing then turning it back on ... shared shows up untell i click "done " then its gone.
Yes, I have also tried and failed when setting up Home Sharing. I have followed the instruction given on the Support website, but this is all I see:
Both computers are on the same local network and both allow Home Sharing and are signed in with the same user name. I am not sure what else to do. Any suggestions? -
How do i turn off home sharing and transfer my ITunes library to another computer?
Your music will only be where you put it. You can download the itunes program and sign into your account on any computer, but your music/content will not be there unless you put it there.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod. File>Transfer Purchases -
Cannot get home sharing to work with my new apple TV. Have the latest version of ITunes and the apple TV is connected to my wi-fi network. The instruction page says to go to the Advanced menu option of ITunes and choose Home Sharing. This option does not exist. The closest I can find is under the File option>Home Sharing where my only option is to turn off home sharing. There is no home sharing icon and Apple TV insist that the home sharing is not turned on.
I must be missing something obvious here.Cannot get home sharing to work with my new apple TV. Have the latest version of ITunes and the apple TV is connected to my wi-fi network.

Can I turn off home sharing for other computers from my own?
I recently got a new computer and would like to add my music library to it. When I try to enable home sharing a message pops up stating that I already have 5 computers on my home sharing network. I don't have all of the 5 computers because some have broken and so my question is that, is there any way for me to turn off home sharing for those computers from my own?
No such thing is possible via iTunes.
What is possible is deathorizing all computers and then authorize only the one's that you have access to.

I have an old computer that died, how do I turn off home sharing on that computer so that I can gain back 1 of my 5 shares for my new computer?
As far as I know you don't need to turn off home sharing as such, however you will have lost one of the 5 "authorizations". You can't release these individually unless you are running iTunes on the authorized operating system you want to deauthorize.
You will have to wait until you have 5 authorizations, at which point you can clear them all and start over, reauthorizing the machines you want to.

How do your turn off home sharing on a ipod
I have to iPods and I would like to turn off home sharing off how can I turn it off
Welcome to the Apple Community.It isn't home sharing that matters here. I suspect you are wanting to either de authorise a computer or remove a associated device from your ID, you can do both of these in your iTunes account settings on a computer.

I have an iphone that has stopped charging. I have purchased a new battery and charger for it but it is still not charging. Does anyone know how i can fix this?
That pretty much eliminates all the user-serviceable parts the phone has.
When you say you purchased a new battery, I'll assume that it included the installation and you did not go fiddling with the nanoscrews and such. So it's got to have some sort of warranty that the part is good and it is time to take it back for service. -
How do I turn off Home Sharing / Switch Back to Local Library?
Last night I turned ON Home Sharing on my iPhone and switched (in the Music/iPod app) my library on the phone to use the Shared Library on my iMac. It works great and I have no issues, except...
Now, that I am away from home (and my network), I am unable to access any of the locally stored content on my iPhone and I can't figure out a way to change the library back to the local (iPhone) media library as the "Shared" button doesn't appear while I am not connected.
Am I stuck in the Shared Library until I get home and connect to my home share or is there a way to make the switch back to local storage while not connected?I found a similar thread and it has answered my question.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16668040#16668040
Restarting the phone will reset it back to the local library. It works, but as the other thread points out it seems a little silly that you can't do it without a restart. -
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!!

What can I do when I cannot turn off home sharing to other devices?
I just bought an iMac (my first) and when I tried to turn on home sharing, it told me that I would need to deactivate home sharing on another device. My other devices (an ex-boyfriend's computer, a crashed/dead HD laptop, a crashed/dead Dell desktop...) cannot be reached to turn off...what to do??? Many thanks for your help!
Go to Settings>General>Usage. How much space does it show you have?
If you connect your phone to your computer, what does iTunes say is on your phone? Do you see a large amount of "Other"? If so, you may have a corrupted database. You'll need to sync your phone then restore it as NEW (not from back up) then re-sync your data).
