Itunes freezes after enabling Home Sharing

I've got a 64bit Windows 7 Machine.  I've also got an itunes server on the network.  I try to share my pc library in home sharing and it causes iTunes to freeze.  I've tried deleting the preferences file to no avail.  I'm assuming that it's some sort of conflict between the iTunes Server??
Any help apprciated!

I am having the same issue. My music is on a NAS and any time I put in my apple ID in Itunes and click on "Enable Home Haring" it freezes itunes and I have to use task manager to shut it down... any ideas?

  • TS2972 shared isn't listed after enabling home sharing

    I've enabled home sharing on another computer.  The word "shared" doesn't appear on side so I can import playlist.

  • Itunes shuts down when I enable Home Sharing

    I recently bought an Apple TV 2 and when I enable Home Sharing on my PC, iTunes shuts down.
    Is there a fix or a reason for this?

    Acutally iTunes just keeps shutting down after a few minutes without going to Home Sharing

  • I can't enable Home Sharing in both PC, iPhone 4S and IPad 2. i enabled them but my IPhone couldn't find my iTunes Library in my PC

    I can't enable Home Sharing in both PC, iPhone 4S and IPad 2. i enabled them but my IPhone couldn't find my iTunes Library in my PC

    The iPhone 5 requirements are:
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    iTunes 10.7 or later
    So, upgrade your MacBook system to Snow Leopard OS 10.6.x Then you can sync both devices.

  • HT4352 try settings, sharing and enable what is to be shared...then try enable home sharing in iTunes, mine immediately turned on

    i had the same errors, went to my settings on my macbook air, enabled sharing then back into itunes and enabled home sharing and it worked
    osx 10.8.3

    Success!
    I solved my problem by changing guest account passwords. I tried to keep things simple by using the same guest password on both computers. This however allowed FS to log on to TP without guest password for some unknown reason. My logic would tell me that having the same guest password would allow both computers to log in without password but this wasn't obviously the case. I guess Windows has its own logic that I can't figure out or this issue had something to do with different language setups. Anyhow my shares work now like I want them to work.

  • ITunes 10.6.3 home sharing not working properly

    iTunes 10.6.3 home sharing not working properly.  I can access with my three ATV2's watch a movie later that same day it tries to access and ATV2 just keeps trying and never gets through to the library.  If I restart iTunes its fine then later can't access.  I am running iTunes 10.6.3 on a i7 Mac Mini with 10.7.4.  Sole job is to be iTunes server and an occasional HTPC with remote buddy running.  I disabled remote buddy ajax remote feature, and file sharing is on so I can load new tracks form other macs Thats it, a vanilla install with all updates.. No problem prior but not sure if problem free period was with 10.6 earler versions or 10.5 versions.  I update as warnings to do so come up.  The remote app has same problem accessing the Home Share.  I disabled home sharing on my iPhone and set to access the old method with 4 digit code and sees all the time and will play to my express base stations so seems to be home sharing issue because iPhone apps with home sharing on and ATV2s have issue accessing.
    I'm never home but when I am I use this equipment loads and this weekend not reliable at all.  I have firewall disabled, and setup is as before and is working fine.  I am using Mini by ethernet and using AEBS 1st generation gigabit as router only wired to cable modem and whole house ethernet attached, latest version AEBS gigabit as a wireless bridge and 2 prior version 11n expresses and a 11g express, all expresses are set to wireless off and are connected to ethernet and then to a stereo in 3 different rooms.
    I can't be only one.  Considering downgrading to last version of 10.5 but not sure how to do this.
    How many of you are having trouble?
    Any resolutions?
    How to report to Apple?
    How to downgrade safely? Or is it 10.7.4?

    I ran into the specific problem in another thread.  There are more than 100 connections from the apple TV's to iTunes.  You can do a netstat -a (windows or Mac), and verify the problem.  iTunes is smart enough to stop allowing more than 100 connections but stupid to allow the ATV to create so many connections.
    Now for what you really want!  Set all of your ATVs to wifi only.  Even setting the iTunes host to wifi might help also.  I think that wifi is more unreliable, and forces connections to drop, keeping the count under 100. 
    I also turned off ip v6.  That could help you also.  I originally had problems on a Mac mini, and built a windows 7 box to try to fix the problem.  The wifi trick worked on both platforms.  Several of us have bug reports into apple.  I have a wired house also, and am very angry to NEED to use slow wifi to overcome this problem.  The ATV gen 3 has been able to keep up with 1080p over wifi, so it doesn't hurt too much.  What really hurts is spending over 40 hours troubleshooting this bug.

    Hi JZN1994,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that after updating your computer to 10.9.3 iTunes stops responding when an iPhone is connected to it. There may be few different steps you will need to go through to get this resolved. I suggest working through the steps in the attached article.

  • Why will my apple tv only access purchases made in itunes library? My Home Sharing is activated on both my TV and computer, but I continue to get message to activate Home Sharing. I am unable to transfer my movies downloaded in Itunes.

    Why will my Apple TV only accept purchases made in Itunes? I am unable to transfer movies and music that I have  downloaded in Itunes through my Apple TV to my TV. All movies are in an MP3 Ipad format.I have followed every troubleshooting suggestion with no luck. If my Apple TV will transfer purchased music, I must assume the Home Sharing is activate on both my computer and TV.

    Thank you. I meant streaming, not transfer. I have streamed movies through my Apple TV before and watched them on my TV. Now, the only content that will stream is what I purchased in the Itunes store. My Home Sharing is obviously activated or the streaming of purchased items would not work. Both my Itunes and Apple TV are fully updated. Where am I going wrong?
