IPod and Video apps crashing on iOS5 devices when using Home Sharing

I turn on the Home Sharing in iTunes 10.5. (on a iMac running Lion) open the iPod app on iPhone4 or/and iPad2 (both running iOS5) acces the Home Sharing library - and then 2 seconds later the app crashes.
Well I've tried a Reset to Factory Settings, install iOS as a new device, turned off firewall, reset wifi-rooter and modem, deleted itunes username/passw - typed it back in again... well still no Home Sharing here...
Anyone with some goor suggestions?
Please..?
All the best from Denmark :-)

Same here... Music app crashes 2-3 seconds after trying to connect to the Home Sharing library on both the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 (both iOS 5.0.1). I've checked everything... settings on both devices, settings on iMac, router, open ports, firewall... all fine.
The same iPad 2 when on iOS 4.3.3 works just fine, same was ok for iPhone 4 on 4.3.3.
Any thoughts / ideas / solutions anyone?

  • Right management: How many devices can share a certain piece of music when using Home Sharing?

    Considering a family of 4, each of us having between 2 and 3 devices. Can all of them use music through Home Sharing or is the limit of 5 applying?
    Thanks

    A maximum of five computers can use Home Sharing at one time. If this limit has been reached and you want to add a new Home Share, deauthorize one or more computers by choosing Deauthorize Computer from the Store menu in iTunes. For more information about authorization and deauthorization, see About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization.
    Supposedly, you can use Home Sharing with as many iOS devices as you want on your network.

  • How can I prevent my family from having the ability to erase my devices when using Family Sharing?

    When using Family Sharing, it appears that all family members have the ability to lock and erase all devices that are linked to the family account. This does not seem very secure. For example, I wouldn't want my disgruntled family member to arbitrarily lock or erase devices, remotely.

    If you're using iTunes Match you might want to post this question over in the iTunes match forum:https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_match.  They may be able to help you over there.

  • How do I drag and drop files between computers when using Home Sharing in ITunes?

    How can I drag music files between computers while using Home Sharing? An older version of ITunes had a Home Sharing icon in the column browser near the playlist so it was easy to drag and drop.

    Hello cacalenni,
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. I understand that you wish to learn how to import songs using Home Sharing in the new iTunes. The following resource should assist you in doing so:

  • Video app hangs on loading iTunes Library through Home Sharing

    Hello,
    On my 4th gen iPad I try loading my iTunes Library, which is on a mid-2011 iMac. Home Sharing is configured and working, but when loading my library it hangs during load. See attached screenshot. The library is huge, but that shouldn't be a problem right?

  • HT3819 I have a new apple MacBook Pro. All my music is on my old computer and on my I-Pod. Can I use home sharing to transfer my music onto my new computer?

    I have a new apple MacBook Pro. All my music is on my old computer and my i-pad. What is the easiest way to transfer my music onto my new
    computer?

    apps
    If you have an iPod touch or iPhone with iOS 4 or later software, or an iPad, you can use iTunes to transfer files between your computer and an app on your device that supports file sharing.
    You might want to do this if, for example, you want to save files you create on your device to your computer, or take files with you so you can use them when you’re away from your computer.
    You don’t need to sync your device to transfer files, but your device needs to be connected to your computer.
    For information about supported apps, see the documentation for your apps.
    Hide
    To transfer files from your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer:
    Connect your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
    In iTunes, select your device (below Devices), and click the Apps button.
    Below File Sharing, from the list on the left, select the app on your device that you want to transfer a file from.
    From the list on the right, select the file you want to transfer, and click “Save to.”
    In the window that appears, select the destination where you want to save the file, and click Choose.
    The file is saved to the selected destination on your computer.
    SImport music and video already on your computer
    If you have audio or video files on your computer, you can import them into iTunes so that they appear in your iTunes library.
    Hide
    Here are ways to add items from your computer to your iTunes library:
    Drag a file or folder from the Finder to the iTunes window.
    If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
    In iTunes, choose File > “Add to Library,” locate a file or folder, and then click Choose.
    By default, iTunes places a copy of each audio file in the iTunes folder (Home/Music); the original file remains in the current location. For information about adding an alias to the file (instead of creating a copy), see Add items to your library without copying them to your iTunes folder.

  • When using home sharing, will my messages show up on the other devices?

    I added another device to my I Tunes account, but I want to know with Home Sharing, will my messages show up as a new message on the other device? And will my alerts for my games show up there too? How can I stop my phone from ringing when someone is facetiming the new device?

    We want to share the iTunes account, but when his son calls him on FaceTime, I want that to be just on his device. I want him to have all his own stuff and not be bothered by my candy crush notices or other game notices... Or when I get a message? I have my own IPad, and iPhone. He just has an IPad. Is that possible? I created an Apple ID for him and his own email address so far.

  • How many devices can use home sharing feature?

    I have three devices on which I use iTunes (one Apple ID).  Can I home share with two and sync two so that my iTunes library is complete and accessible on all three devices?

    You may be confused between retrictions that apply in different areas.
    You can only authorise 5 computers to use a single ID.
    You can only associate 10 devices with a single ID.
    Associated devices include your authorised computers, thay also include mobile devics that use iTunes Match or automatic download from the cloud.

  • HT202213 When using home sharing, can you access your itunes files while traveling on the 2nd and 3rd ipads?

    If we use home sharing for a new ipad, can we cet to itunes with the ipad while we are away from home?

    No.
    Homesharing is for local area network over wifi only.

  • How do I modify the Long Description of video files, so that it shows up when on the iPad or using Home Sharing?

    The content manually inserted into the Description field in iTunes does not display in either the iPad Video App nor when using Home Sharing. I then used MetaX to populate the Long Description field, which one cannot modify directly in iTunes. However, the descriptions still do not show up on either the iPad or when using Home Sharing. The problem is only with TV shows that I ripped from legitimate DVDs; items bought from iTunes seem to work fine. So I opened up a file bought on iTunes with MetaX, and the Long Description field is not even populated leading me to believe Apple had that information stored elsewhere. This is getting so frustrating, and Apple customer care does not seem to care.
    Does anyone have any other suggestions? Where has Apple hidden the long descriptions for TV shows that do show up on Home Sharing? Is there other 3rd party software that may fix the problem? Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

  • I just recently upgraded my itouch from 4.1 to ios5, and updated to itunes 10.5. when isynced my music files,ebooks and other apps, all is working except when im trying to sync my video files. it says, canot be synced as cannot be played on this ipod.help

    i just recently upgraded my itouch from 4.1 to ios 5, and updated to itunes 10.5. but when i synced my music files,ebooks and other apps, all is working except when im trying to sync my video files. it says, canot be synced as cannot be played on this ipod. but those are the same files that i have when i was using the old 4.1 version and its syncing just fine.. the itunes advanced tab "create iphone or ipod version" is not working either so i cant convert it to be xferred and synced. what can i do to have my video files synced?

    i had the same problem but i just got a new video converter and made it convert videos to ipod/iphone format and then put them into itunes. i would suggest GOM encoder as the encoder can convert them and then once they're finished converting, put them automatically into your itunes for you. from there you can just sync them to your ipod.

  • Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works.

    Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works. So how can I fix this I have tried converting videos into different formats but it will not work.
    Is IOS 8 really appropriate with Ipod Touch 4, if the older Ipods do not have the capability then why are we prompted to install new operating systems.
    Thanks.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all videos and resync
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
