I wondered if i can sync my iphone to my laptop which is using the home sharing for music????

Does anyone know if i sync my iphone to my laptop, instead of my pc, which currently only has content in itunes due to home sharing will it remain on the iphone aweay from home????

You can't sync music to your phone which isn't in your iTunes library. As you are only streaming the music to your laptop via Home Sharing, you wouldn't be able to sync it to your phone from the iTunes library on your laptop. You can, however, copy the music from the iTunes library on the host computer to the iTunes library on your laptop using Home Sharing and then sync the music to your phone. Caution: the iPhone is only designed to sync to a single computer/iTunes library. If you have been syncing with your pc and not your laptop you would be strongly advised not to sync with your laptop or you will create all kinds of problems.

The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.

I had to buy a new computer because my old one died. When I sync my iPhone to my new computer, none of the existing content (apps, music, whatever) transfers. What do I have to do?

If I choose "restore from iTunes backup" to move everything from old iphone to a new one, will I still be able to use the old phone for music and apps? Can the old phone be docked up to that same computer every now and then? Or will the new and old phone overwrite each other in some way? In other words, are the two phones treated as different devices when the "restore" option is used to set up the new phone? Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can use the old iPhone as an iPod touch.

Can i buy a smaller macbook air (64gb) but use the time capsule for additional data ?

can i buy a smaller macbook air (64gb) but use the time capsule for additional data ?

If you plan to store important "original" or "master" files and documents on the Time Capsule, then you might want to think about a way to back up those files to another hard drive.
Why? If the Time Capsule has a problem...and you have no backups....you lose everything.

My new Apple TV won't be recognized by my IPhone Air-Play. I made sure the home sharing is on and that both Devises are I the same network..

My new Apple TV won't be recognized by my IPhone Air-Play. I made sure the home sharing is on and that both Devises are I the same network. The IPhone see the other two Apple TVs at my house, but for some reason it won't see the third one I just added.

Check to see if AirPlay is actually turned on. (in Settings on the ATV)
Also, make sure it's not sitting directly next to your router; interference

Syncing I Touch and Using the Home Sharing

I have 2 questions.
Yesterday I tried to sync my iTouch with my computer upstairs, but somehow it gave me a 'USB not connected.' (Of course, it was the first time, after a great while, to sync my itouch after I've download so much stuff to the iTouch.) When it gave me the message bubble, I rebooted my computer and see if it worked...I rebooted the computer and it did! But then as I ejected the Itouch from the Itunes store, all of my apps disappeared as well as my songs.
Here are my two questions need to be answered:
1st question: Is there a way to get the apps and songs back to my Itouch (without paying download fee, again)?
And my 2nd question: Is there anyway I can get those songs and apps from that computer upstairs down to another computer in the house by applying Home Sharing? And if the computer keeps getting glitches every-so-often, is there a way to prevent that from coming back?

Your homesharing ID and your iTunes account ID are not the same thing (although it's possible to set them the same). You need to use the same info that you entered into iTunes/advanced/homesharing

Hi I have an ipod shuffle which worked well on my old pc but since i have tried to link it with my new laptop I cant get it to sinc.

I have tried to manually sinc the thing, i have installed and reinstalled the latest version of itunes, i have restarted my laptop but i dont know what to do next. any help would be very much appreciated. Many thanks in advance

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Can i airplay to apple tv from a usb hard drive attached to the router using the Home sharing feature

I want to get a Router with a USB port for Home Sharing my library of Music and Movies off a 3TB external HD to my iMac, Apple TV, and iPad so that I don't have to leave my iMac on all the time, but more importantly, I have almost filled the 1TB of memory on the iMac so I need more space. I like my setup using the iPad as a remote to stream movies from the iMac to my AppleTV but I need more space. Thanks.

The iPod and/or MacBook communicate with the Apple TV via WiFi, so there has to be a WiFi network of some sort, even if just an "ad hoc" one set up using a laptop or desktop computer as an access point. If you don't think there will be a WiFi network available, I'd suggest leaving out the Apple TV and just connecting the MacBook or iPod directly to the TV to do your presentation. A MacBook can connect to just about any video input with the appropriate adapter, and the iPod touch can connect via composite or component inputs, or HDMI if it's a fourth-generation iPod touch.
Regards.
