ITunes Home Sharing No Longer Allows File Transfers between Apple IDs???
It used to be that if my wife purchased a song in iTunes with her Apple ID, I would seemlessly and automatically get a copy of the song downloaded to my iTunes account with my Apple ID via the Home Sharing functionality. Has this functionality been removed?? It seems that the only thing I can do now is stream the music she's purchased when I'm home, but I'm no longer able to download my a copy to play on my own iOS devices.
I've made sure that both of our computers are re-authorized, and home sharing is active, but no luck.
I'm up and running. Spoke with Apple and they had me go to : preferences, network and create a new location. That seems to have reset something. I had to reset all my devices back to my main network that had stopped working. The guest network will not let Home Sharing work, only the main network.
Others have been able to use Home Sharing without clicking "Done" after typing in their password. After you click "Done" the Shared disappears in iTunes.
Apple help people were GREAT!

ITunes Home Sharing No Longer Working Under Lion
Home Sharing is no longer working between Lion and my Apple TV or iPhone. I am able to watch Netflix through my Apple TV (2nd Gen) so I do have connectivity. I have restarted both devices, and updated iTunes to 10.4. Under "Advanced" in iTunes, Home Sharing is turned on. In Preferences in iTunes under Sharing, it says Status: On, no users connected, even though my Apple TV is connected to the network.
Is this problem isolated, or are others experiencing the same issue?I'm up and running. Spoke with Apple and they had me go to : preferences, network and create a new location.

Home Sharing no longer allows me to see items not on this computer
My wife and I use the same Apple ID for our purchases, and we have separate iTunes libraries on separate computers. The "automatic copy" feature does a good job of keeping our content in sync between the computers, but occasionally I need to manually copy files (for example, when I buy a CD and import the songs into my iTunes account ... these are not automatically copied).
Previously, when I clicked on my wife's library, there was an option at the bottom to view "all items" or "items not in this library". I no longer see this option. I don't use this regularily, so I'm not exactly sure when it disappeared for me.
Is it supposed to be there in iTunes 10.6.3?
Thanks,
Ron
p.s. We're still using "Lion" and not "Mountain Lion". iTunes and the OS are up to date on both of our computers.Never mind ... I just figured out that "Home Sharing" somehow got turned off on my wife's computer. With Home Sharing turned off, the shared library becomes "Music Sharing" instead which allows you to view the music (which looks like home sharing), but without some of the more advanced options like viewing files not in this library, or automatic copying of new content.

ITunes Home Sharing No Longer Auto-Plays On The iPad?
I have my movies on an external G-Drive connected to my Mac with FireWire.
iTunes has Home sharing on using an Airport Extreme. On the iPad when I select
the Shared Tab, my movie collection cover art begins to load as normal. Then I
Select a movie and the cover art is displayed on the right and the movie info on the
left.
The problem is when I select the play button from that screen. The iPad screen goes
black and nothing else happens?
If I tap on the black iPad screen the movie controllers then pop up and if I hit play then
it begins to play. It used to play automatically right after I selected play from the splash screen.
Any suggestions?It appears that the buffering is taking an unsual longer time to load everything and this may be preventing the auto play from playing the movie as instant as possible.
I also noticed that if I go to edit a movie file on itunes it is taking a bit longer for the selected file to pop up for my edit. -

I've had the 2nd generation Apple TV since this past October when it was released and it has worked fine until I recently changed my Apple User Name (email address). After changing my user name my Apple TV and iPhone 4 no longer find my shared network. Home sharing is enabled on all devices, including my Sony Vaio Laptop, iPhone4, and Apple TV 2nd generation. Everything else has remained constant, including service provider, router, modem, and internet security (Trend Micro). Also, my library is on a networked hard drive, which didnt seem to make a difference before, but I figured I'd mention it. Any thoughts?
Thanks.Winston,
Thank you for the information. He confirmed that the ID and password are the same on every device. This only started happending when he changed his User Name with Apple.
--Itunes is running on a Windows Vista Machine (Sony Vaio)
--He has an Apple TV (2nd Gen)
--He has an iPhone 4
Can you tell me more about the technologies that apple uses to make "homesharing" work? Do you think he may need to remove then re-install Bonjour? -
ITunes Home Sharing not working in Windows 8 with Apple TV
My Home Sharing does not work on Apple TV 2 - I am running the latest version of itunes, apple tv software, all windows updates installed, all firewall ports required are open, anti-virus is allowing things through, I have reset and restarted my apple tv, pc and routers, unticked IPv6 - still nothing - please help!
Problem solved, however not the way I would have preferred...
Turns out that I needed to disconnect the hardwired ethernet connection between my router and the Apple TV.
I my setup consisted of a traditional hardwired Linksys router, and a matching Linksys access point.
Both my computers were on the wireless network setup by the access point, and were able to communicate between each other just fine.
However, for whatever reason neither one would communicate with the AppleTV while it was hardwired to the router. Once I unplugged it, and assigned it to the same wireless network as the computers were on, it was able to see both computers without any problems...
Not too upset, seeing as how the AppleTV is only about a foot from the access point and router - so there are no signal strength issues. However, I would have preferred to keep the AppleTV on the hardwired connection...
Hope this comes in handy for anyone else with this problem... -
Home Sharing 4 users on iMac using 3 Apple IDs.
I have 4 different User log-ins on our iMac, each has a IOS device and and Apple ID. Mom and Dad use the same Apple ID on our devices. I have a network drive where I keep our converted DVDs and CD music. Generally speaking everything works very well together but I would like to have a single "Shared" library that we all have access to for things that don't need Copyrights, then, individual logins/iTunes can keep those things purchased with individual Apple ID seperate from the others. The problem I have had in the past is if Son wants to have some of my songs on his iTunes and device, his library size increases. So if there are 3000 songs that we all want to use, there are 4 copies of all 3000 on the iMac hard drive. If you add movies to the libraries, my storage requirements get pretty huge. What's the best way to manage this mess while keping the integerity of the purhase rights intact?
Doesn't work - ask Apple.
Sorry, but at the moment I have no good feelings for them. User friendly multi-user environments don't seem to very popular at Apple.

Home Sharing no longer works between iTunes and Apple TV.
I've been through all the forums, tried all the solutions provided and I have come to the conclusion that Home Sharing just no longer works between iTunes on a PC and my Apple TV. Does anyone know if this issue will be addressed or should I list my Apple TV up on eBay? (along with my iPad, iPod, and iPhone, since all system no longer sync together as before.)
My issue:
My iTunes library is no longer listed under "Computers" on the Apple TV.
The airplay icon no longer shows up in iTunes. (Version 11)
I cannot play music/content from my iPhone or iPad via remote that is stored in my iTunes library through my Apple TV.
I can however play music/content that is stored locally on my iPhone and iPad through my Apple TV.
My firewall settings are allowing access to Apple TV.
After logging into my router, I see no issues there.
I've logged in/out, turned home sharing on/off, de-authorized/authorized, and restarted my PC, Apple TV, and Router.
All devices are logged into the same iTunes account, and are on the same wireless network.
Time for a solution Apple.If you turn off wifi on your Computer and connect it to the apple tv using an ethernet cable can you see your library under computers in Apple TV.
If yes the issue is with your wifi not the Apple TV

iTunes Home Sharing Not Working
Not working and sometimes when it is working, it cuts out in the middle, or when you click on the computer name, the focus goes away from the library. In other words, really weird.
What it is
iTunes has a feature called "Home Sharing" - it basically allows you to share your entire or part of your library with other instances of iTunes in your home network. It requires you to login to your iTunes account on both computers. A typical scenario is to enable Home Sharing on your desktop machine and then access the library from your iPad, Apple TV, iPhone, Mac, etc.
In my case, I have iTunes on my desktop machine running Windows XP in the attic with Home Sharing enabled and then I access the library from my Macbook and Apple TV, depending on what I want. How to use Home Sharing can be found here.
Symptoms
Home Sharing machine not showing up in Apple TV or the Macbook
The Macbook home sharing not showing up on my desktop
Home Sharing working intermittently
Connections getting cut of intermittently
Usually, restarting iTunes or the desktop computer will make things work.
Sometimes, restarting the Macbook or the Apple TV will make things work.
The "working" doesn't last long
The FixOn the desktop computer where the Home Sharing is enabled, I disabled the "QoS Packet Scheduler" from the network connection:
Open Control Panel
Open Network Connections
Right-Click on your connection (in my case, it was "Wireless Network Connection 4"
Select Properties
Uncheck "QoS Packet Scheduler"
Click OK
Restart iTunes if necessary
After doing the above, Home Sharing worked like a charm. -
Home sharing no longer shows up on my macbook pro iTunes.
Home sharing no longer shows up on my macbook pro iTunes. Our main computer is a Dell desktop that is authorized for home sharing. My macbook has also turned on home sharing, but the home computer does not show up. How exactly does home sharing work? Must you be in the same area to be able to use this feature or connected to the same network?
you will need both computer have itunes turned on and you will need a wifi for them to work.

Home Sharing no longer recognized
Home sharing no longer working on ATV since I swithed to a new iMac. Never had issues with the previous iMac. I've done everything mentioned on sites, including power cycling all devices, checking firewalls, updating software, etc. I have repeatedly turned it off and on in iTunes with proper password/username. Yet my ATV keeps asking me to turn it on in iTunes and does not see it.

Apple TV Home Sharing no longer working
I have a friend who is looking for help Here is his problem:
"I've had the 2nd generation Apple TV since October when it was released and it has worked fine until I recently changed my Apple User Name (email address). After changing my user name my Apple TV and iPhone 4 no longer find my shared network and home sharing no longer works.

Also, my library is on a networked hard drive, which didn’t seem to make a difference before, but I figured I'd mention it."
The problem began when he changed his Apple User Name. After he changed his name, home sharing no longer works even though he also changed it on all his devices to match the new Apple User Name.
How does he get Home Sharing working again. Has anyone run into this same problem?
Thanks in advanceWinston,

Why is my home sharing no longer working?
I have used itunes home sharing before. Every since the recent iTunes updates, I can no longer get the home sharing to work. Computers are "authorized" and "home sharing" is on for both computers. The computer that I am trying to pull music to (Mac Book Pro) does not show Library from other computer this time.
What am I doing wrong?Someone else solved this problem by turning off automatic downloads.

Have content of iTunes on both Appletvs but can only play on one. Tv menu won't let me choose both locations. How do I correct this? ITunes Home Sharing is on. Multiple Airplay is on from the iTunes menu, too. Thanks, Taking too long to get music!
If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go
