IOS devices can't see entire iTunes library via Home Sharing

Using both iPad 2 and iPhone 4s to view iTunes library on my iMac via Home Sharing. Both see very limited amounts of Artists/Albums from iMac library. Also, both see different Artist/Albums. p.s. I used Home Sharing for 3 yrs w/o problems, before this.

  • Question On Transfer iTunes Library Via Home Sharing

    Hi everyone, so basically the situation I'm in is I got a new PC laptop to replace my Macbook Pro and I want to be able to sync my iphone, ipod and ipad with the new library on the PC.  I've already gone through transfering my entire library with all my music and apps etc using home sharing.  My question is would I be able to connect my ios devices now and without a problem sync it with my PC?  I'm afraid if I do connect it I will lose my contacts and pictures on my iphone.

    You can use these instructions to move the music to a new computer.

  • Can share someone else iTunes library through home sharing?

    Can share library's between two different computers on separate wi-if?

    Both computers need to be on the same network and use the same ID for homesharing.

  • TS1702 This app will not be deleted from any iOS device that synchronizes with your iTunes library.

    How do you remove an app from your iPad? I have synced the iPad and attempted to remove and this is the messgae I receive:
    This app will not be deleted from any iOS device that synchronizes with your iTunes library.
    HELP! Get rid of these Doodle Gods, Kick the Buddy, etc....

    As Jim states, that procedure deletes the app and its associated documents from the device itself. At next sync, the deletion should propagate and get rid of the backup on iTunes as well.
    If not, you can also manually delete that backup. Go into iTunes on the computer you sync the iPad with. If needed, select Show Sidebar in the View menu. Choose Apps under Library in the sidebar. Click on the All tab in the middle of the window. Scroll about till you locate the offending app amongst the bunch of icons. Right-click or Control-click on it and choose Delete from the popup menu. If the app is gone already on the device, there should be no warnings.  You should delete from the device first and sync, so this manual step becomes unnecessary.

  • How do you connect ipad 2 to itunes library using home sharing

    How do you connect the ipad 2 to the itunes library using home sharing so you can listen on your ipad 2? I've seen directions for the ipad which tell you how to setup home sharing then open ipod and touch library in the left column, but when I hit library, nothing happens. I'm assuming the ipad 2 has something different about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    PS, the OS is 4.3.3 (just got it but it's not on the os list)

    See iTunes 9- Understanding Home Sharing and iTunes- Troubleshooting Home Sharing.  Also, open iTunes, select iTunes Help from the Help menu and search for "home shar."

  • Is there any way to hide certain artists/albums in my iTunes library from Home Sharing?

    Is there any way I can hide some of my music from other people, like my sister, while they are accessing my iTunes library with Home Sharing?
    I have a few personal recordings that I don't want anyone but me to have access to.
    Is deleting them from my library the only option?

    It's not an ideal solution ... but have you considered creating a second library (called, say, "Private Library") containing just the personal recordings?
    To create the private library, hold down the shift key while launching iTunes. Click "Create Library" in the dialog that comes up.
    Once you've created and opened the "Private library", don't activate home sharing for it. Now go "Edit > Preferences". In the "Advanced" tab, select "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library", as per the following screenshot:
    ... and click OK.
    Now add the personal recordings to the Private Library.
    To get back to your original library, quit iTunes. Hold down the Shift key while launching iTunes ... but this time click the "Choose library" button. Browse to the iTunes library file for your original library and doubleclick that. You should now be seeing your original library.
    Delete the personal items from your original library.
    Now, in order to see those recordings in iTunes, all you have to do is do a "Choose library" when launching iTunes, and open Private library. Because Home sharing isn't activated for Private library, your sister won't be able to access those recordings. (She won't be able to access your original library either, though, when you have Private library running.)

  • Just hooked up new apple tv for first time. able to connect to internet (netflix, youtube) but not able to connect to my itunes account via home sharing. apple tv tells me to make sure computer's itunes has home-sharing enabled, which it does. any advice?

    Just hooked up new apple tv for first time. able to connect to internet (netflix, youtube) but not able to connect to my itunes account via home sharing. apple tv tells me to make sure computer's itunes has home-sharing enabled, which it does. any advice?

    Have done both suggestions, still not working. Could it have somehting to do with my local network? I am using a wireless Internet provided by my apartment building so not sure if apple tv and my computer are not technically on the same "local network?"
    apple tv and main computer are connecting to Internet fine. Just cannot see my itunes on apple tv.
    any other advice? My itunes is turned on to home sharing. i entered the same apple itunes account into aple tv. but appletv keeps saying my computer's home sharing is not turned on...but it is.

  • How can I see my iTunes library on my iPad

    How do I see my iTunes library on my iPad?
    I am in the same network but cannot find my songs in my library on my home computer.

    settings > iPod > home sharing. when you open the iPod app, there will be an additional entry "library" on the top left of the window (just below the volume slider) from where you can select your Mac's iTunes library.
    note that you can use the videos app to view videos.

  • Can't see my iTunes library when selecting background music for a slideshow

    I don't see my iTunes library when I'm selecting background music for a slideshow -- I have tried using iphoto help (seee below) and it didn't work:
    "If you don't see your iTunes library:
    Quit both iTunes and iPhoto. Relaunch iTunes first, then iPhoto.
    If you recently installed iLife software, it's a good idea to open each application in the following order: iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, and then iDVD. Because these applications are integrated to browse and import files from each other's media libraries, this ensures that you will be viewing the most up-to-date versions of your music library, photo library, and movies folder no matter what application you're using.
    Recreate your iTunes Music Library.xml file. Quit iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, and iTunes. Click the Finder icon in the Dock, and choose Go > Go to Folder. Type "~/Music/iTunes" or "~/Documents/iTunes" and click Go. Drag the "iTunes Music Library.xml" file to your desktop. Open iTunes and create a new playlist by choosing File > New Playlist. Quit iTunes and open iPhoto to make sure you can see your iTunes library when creating a slideshow."
    Any suggestions?
    MacBook1,1   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   using itunes 7.0.2 (15) and iphoto 6.0.5 (316)
    MacBook1,1   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   versions: itunes 7.0.2 (15) iphoto 6.0.5 (316)

    I have this problem also - tried following advice giving from original problem.
    My settings are through the what I call the Lug Nut icon - no arrows and no dimple showing on my screen.
    Is there some small thing I'm missing here - weird thing is that iDVD allows me to access my iTunes library - no problem.
    When I go to Finder it tells it can't find my Music folder??? I can see it in the sidebar .....
    Any suggestions - I don't know how to send those screen shots but what a great idea.

  • My iPad can't see my iTunes library

    This is one of those "it used to work fine til I updated the iPad OS" stories.  My iPad used to see my iTunes library just fine....  After I updated the iPad OS, I get to this point where I click on the Music icon, it shows my iTunes library as being available, and then on the same screen line next to my library is this red circle that shows part of the circle as a thin red line and part as a thick red line, making me think that what the iPad was doing was indexing my music library so it could show it (it is a large library).... the problem is that the red circle never completes the fill in and clicking on my library results in nothing happening.
    The library shares fine on my Apple TV and all my PCs, just not on my iPad or iPhone.... both got updated and both stopped working after the update... a fair indication to me that the update has something to do with the sharing going sideways.
    Anybody else seen this? is there a fix? am I missing something?

    I have the exact problem and have been through many onlineHomeShare setup and troubleshooting directions to no avail. I am operating an iMac in Mavericks OS 10.9.3 and iPhone 5 & an iPad both in iOS 7.1.1  
    I have a large iTune Music Library consisting of 498 GB with 62,000 songs.
    I have removed firewalls, verified no ports were blocked, etc., etc.
    Any further suggestions will be most welcome.

  • Can't sync entire iTunes library to AppleTV

    I have a first-generation Apple TV, and I've been using it mostly as a music server-- I keep all of the music in my iTunes library (about 40GB worth) on the Apple TV, and when I want to listen to music, I can just use the Remote application on my iPad to pick the music I want to listen to.
    Recently I discovered that all of my songs weren't actually on the Apple TV anymore-- it appears that only the ones I have checked in iTunes are on the AppleTV.  I have manual sync turned on in iTunes, and I have the sync settings for music set to "entire library."  There isn't a setting in iTunes that says whether to sync everything or just the checked items.  Is there a way to get it to sync my entire iTunes library to the Apple TV?  Is this something that changed in some recent version of iTunes?
    I know I can stream songs from my Mac to the Apple TV, but I don't have my Mac powered up all the time, and I don't really want to start doing this, especially since there's ample hard disk space on the Apple TV to store everything.
    Any thoughts or suggestions?  Thanks a lot...

    That's what the checkboxes are for, they need to be checked before the Apple TV will either sync or stream that particular content. It's always been that way

  • Transfer ENTIRE iTunes library via Wifi?

    Hi,
    I ordered my first mac today and i cant wait for it but i was wondering how could i transfer my entire itunes library from my PC (TV, Movies, podcasts, Music, Playlists)to my new mac via the Wifi setup in my house.

    You didn't mention how much (in GB) music you've got to transfer, but I've had to move upwards of 300 GB from my PC to my Mac in the past, and a wireless transfer would have been out of the question. I have successfully done the following at various times:
    1. Connected my PC to my Mac with a FireWire cable and created a bridged network connection. This was very fast.
    2. Connected my PC to my Mac with an ethernet cable and done basically the same thing. Not quite as fast, but still much faster than a wireless transfer.
    3. Removed the hard drive from my PC and installed it in my Mac in order to copy the contents of the drive to one of the three installed in my Mac. This was by far the best way for me to move 300 GB of data in a hurry.
    If you have hard drive enclosure (USB 2.0 or FireWire), then temporarily removing your PC's hard drive and installing it in the enclosure might be a good alternative for you.

  • HP Envy dv4t (Windows 8) can't pick up Dell's (Windows Vista) iTunes library through home sharing, but the Dell can pick up HP's

    I just got an HP Envy dv4t and it runs windows 8. My desktop, which is a Dell windows vista has all of my music on it. I'm trying to use home sharing between the two, but my HP won't pick up my dell's library, but my dell will pick up my HP's. I've tried everything imaginable and still no luck. At first, my HP would pick up my Dell library but it wouldn't load. Now it doesn't even have the library under Home Sharing. Please help!

    I have been having exactly the same problem with my Fujitsu vista running desktop and my new Toshiba running windows 8

  • Apple TV can't see my computer even though home sharing is on

    I have just bought Apple TV. I plugged it all in correctly, and initially I had it all working. But now it asks me to turn on home sharing on my computer. Home sharing is on. It is on the same router as the iMac. I have checked it is the same apple id and password. I have updated to latest software in both apple tv and iTunes. I have rebooted both systems. Running out of ideas. I can access my online iTunes account on the ATV, but not my mac. Computer running Mac OSX 10.7.5 and iTunes 12.0.1.26. Any ideas?

    I'm having this same issue. I have a Mac running 10.7.5 and Apple TV with latest software. Things had been working smoothly with Home Sharing, until I recently updated iTunes to 12.0.1.26. Now no other device can see that Mac or the home shared iTunes library. I've tried to see it with the Apple TV, iPad, iPhone and MacBook Pro. I've tried putting the Mac both on wifi and ethernet (always using the same network), but nothing. I'm at a lose. Did you find a workaround with yours?
