Is Home Sharing supported with Tiger and Itunes 9.2?

Having difficulty home sharing ITunes libraries between two MacBook Pros with different versions of Itunes.(9.2 and 10.5.1)  Appreciate anyone's experience
with this.  FE

i can't get the photos to sync at all.
maybe this is related to vista going in sleep mode and waking back up?
but this isn't fixed on a reboot either.
my god itunes is a horrible piece of dren.
is there another way i can get my photos on my ipod without having to rely on itunes?

  • Home sharing problem with music between iTunes and Apple TV

    iTunes 10.5.2.11
    Apple TV2 running 4.4.4 (3330)
    Windows 7 pc
    WI FI connection
    Apple TV is losing its connection to iTunes on my windows 7 pc after streaming EXACTLY TWO SONGS.   I've never had this problem until the last update of iTunes to 10.5.2.11 and Apple TV 4.4.4.  Home sharing is on in both iTunes and apple TV.  I launch my computer from apple TV and open the music folders, select an album/playlist or even shuffle (doesn't matter what I do).  Apple TV will play two songs and then lose its home sharing connection to my iTunes songs.  TheBuffering icon continues to spin as it looks for the next song on the playlist, but the \song never starts playing.  If I sue the apple TV remote to return to the main menu, it is apparent that my computer is no longer visible to apple tv.  
    The only temporary "fix" (which again only works for EXACTLY TWO SONGS) is to re-start home sharing on my pc or apple tv.   Obviously, you can't listen to music by continuously turning on/off home sharing on eiter device.  Doesn't matter which device I choose to restart home Sharing.
    I've spent considerable time troubleshooting this issue.  It is NOT a router issue, nor is it a signal quality issue.  I'm able to stream feature-length movies from iTunes to apple TV without issue.  It's only music files.  The cynic in me thinks its apple wanting me to spend $25 to put my music in its iCloud service.
    Other troubleshooting that I've tried.  None successful.
    Uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes.
    Tried a fresh install of iTunes on a brand new windows 7 maching
    Restored my apple TV.
    disconnected / re-connected outlook.

    bump to Apple.  Many people are having this issue and no fix yet!

  • How do I transfer my iTunes library to a new computer?  I have transferred purchased music but wish to transfer the rest of my library.  Home sharing isn't responding and the computers are going to be in different locations.

    How do I transfer my iTunes library from my old computer to my new one?  I have successfully transferred purchased music but not my library of CDs.  Home sharing will not work, and isn't working in fact, as the computers will be in different countries.

    Assuming your library is in the default location and all of the media is stored within the library's media folder then this is what you need to do:
    Copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target computer.
    You can do this directly over a network (making use of shared network folders) or by making a copy on an external drive, moving the drive between computers, and copying again. Any way that works is good. However if you say that you cannot use Home Sharing (doesn't work properly anyway) because the source and target are not on the same network then method 2 as I describe it won't work either.
    Your playlists, play counts, ratings etc. are stored inside the database iTunes Library.itl which is inside the iTunes folder and a successful migration includes all of this information, not just the media files. I recommend method 1 from the earlier link as it sets you up with a backup mechanism to use in future. All hard drives fail eventually and often without warning, or at least a warning that is noticed and then heeded.
    If the initial assumption is wrong, or you need help checking, just ask.

  • I switched on home sharing on My computer And on appleTV, but still cannot Control AppleTV with My ipad

    I switched on home sharing on My computer And on appleTV, but still cannot Control AppleTV with My ipad

    Hi Wikowiko!
    If you want to be able to control your Apple TV through your iPad, you will want to download a free app from Apple called Remote. An article we have published online can help you understand more of the features of the Remote app, and can be found here:
    About Remote app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

  • Potential Solution: Home Sharing issues with iTunes 10.6

    TL;DR: On a hunch, I changed the power settings of the ATV to never sleep. Since then, I have not had any issues. Granted, it's only been a couple of days, but it seems to have done the trick.
    Folks,
    Wanted to share my experience with Home Sharing issues after upgrading to iTunes 10.6. These forums a rampant with reports of the issue, so I'll defer to the search field above if you don't know what I am talking about. In short: iTunes 10.6 seems to have busted Home Sharing.
    For those who do, here's what I found:
    For some reason, is saw a very large number of established sessions from my Apple TV (ATV) into port 3689 on my Mac. This is the port that ATV uses to query iTunes to see what's available via Home Sharing (e.g.: what movies, songs, pictures, etc are available for display on the ATV).
    A sniffer cap and some observation of the power indicator on the ATV indicated that while it was sleeping, the ATV was querying iTunes. It would power on for a sec (wake on LAN, maybe?), issue some queries, then sleep.
    When this happened, the TCP sessions created were never town down. As such, I would eventually see 200+ established sessions on port 3689. I don't know exactly how many it took to make this happen, but when I saw this, iTunes stopped accepting new connections.
    Of course, bouncing iTunes would remedy the issue for a while, but it would return.
    On a hunch, I changed the power settings of the ATV to never sleep. Since then, I have not had any issues. Granted, it's only been a couple of days, but it seems to have done the trick.
    I would be interested to hear if it works for others.
    Happy viewing,
    Chris

    Thanks for posting this.
    I've been searching for an option of how to approach this problem.
    I picked up the new AppleTV when it was released, but it has made iTunes fairly useless from a Home Sharing standpoint.
    I also observed the massive number of TCP connections being opened against iTunes, but never closed.
    As expected, I could manually kill a few of these connections, and then could connect again, even without closing iTunes.
    I performed most of my testing with Windows 7, but while troubleshooting I had the same issue with iTunes on an old Mac Mini I had sitting around.
    I will try your solution, which makes a lot of sense, but it would be nice if Apple fixed the real problem.
    Thanks again.

  • Why doesn't my itunes on my windows pc load on my apple tv?  Home sharing is turned on and my ipad can see it!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
    Consistent Problems
    A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
    Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports
    Port
    Type
    Protocol
    Used By
    80
    TCP
    HTTP
    AirPlay
    443

    Bonjour/AirPlay
    49163
    UDP
    MDNS (Win)
    Bonjour/AirPlay
    Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
    Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
    If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them.

  • Does home sharing allow my husband and I to share our itunes content?  If so, how do we do that since it requires the use of the same Apple ID and password on each device to do so.  His itunes is linked to his email and mine is linked to my email...

    Does home sharing allow my husband and I to share our iTunes content?  If so, how does this work?  From what I've read to use home sharing the devices/computers all require the same Apple ID and password.  My husbands iTunes is linked to his email/password and mine is my email/password.  So if that's the case how to we go about sharing?  God I hope that makes sense.

    All apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that bought them. To stop your id from popping up, you need to delete the apps on his phone, and then repurchase them under his account.

    All of your computers content are available in the AppleTV section called "Computer".  This is where you will find your music.
    The Music section of the AppleTV is only for those who subscribed to iTunes Match.

  • TS2972 I have ATV2 and the correct version of ITunes yet when watching a movie from ITunes, ATV2 will drop it mid way through and then will claim home sharing is not activated in ITunes. Can anyone offer advice please?

    I have ATV2 and the correct version of ITunes yet when watching a movie from ITunes, ATV2 will drop it mid way through and then will claim home sharing is not activated in ITunes. Can anyone offer advice please?

    yepp, I have done numerous tests today, skipped router and hard wired betwenn PC and appletv3. same problem.
    same network, but from my laptop, works like a charm.. so its not reproducable on all machines.
    this seems to be a itunes/bonjour problem, not ATV3 problem.

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

    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.

  • HT203970 Home Sharing fix is unreliable and not permanent

    Going by other posts on the Apple Forums, this fix is unreliable and not permanent...
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6601112?tstart=0
    The fact that this article exists indicates that Apple are aware of the issue yet nothing has been done to resolve it since Yosemite was released over 3 months ago. As of 31st January, I am running OS X 10.10.2 with iTunes 12.1.0.50 and the latest Apple TV firmware yet this issue still occurs.
    As with other people that have encountered this problem, one of the suggested fixes may work but none of them are reliable i.e. one may work one day, another on a different day and some days I can't get it to work at all. Some of the fixes that have worked at one time or another are as follows: -
    Reboot the Apple TV (this is the simplest fix but now works less frequently than it used to)
    Restart iTunes
    In "iTunes > File", turn off Home Sharing, turn Home Sharing back on again and restart iTunes
    In "System Preferences > Sharing", change the computer name then restart iTunes (this is the Apple recommended fix).
    In "iTunes > Preferences > General", change the library name and restart iTunes.
    Turn off the "iTunes > Preferences > Sharing" functionality. Some people have commented that this conflicts with the Home Sharing feature. I don't know how or why let alone what the difference is between Sharing and Home Sharing. The Apple documentation is a bit ordinary in this regard.
    Various combinations of the above or the reverse.
    I don't know if this problem is related to the OS X Computer Name automatically changing issue ...
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6631728?tstart=0
    I have that problem as well so I tried a workaround for that problem...
    http://ispire.me/fix-yosemite-rtc-alarm-wakeup-issue/
    The computer name has stopped automatically changing but the Apple TV still has problems.
    Any ideas?

  • Will home sharing work with multipul apple ids?

    I am trying to set up a home sharing network with several macs in my home all having their own apple id. Will this work?

    This site http://www.apple.com/support/homesharing/getstarted/ just specifies the computers need to be running iTunes.  It does mention iTunes for Mac and Windows.
