Itunes Home Sharing with Ios7 Ipad

Upgraded Ipad to Ios7 (what was I thinking) and now have upgraded Itunes on my laptop to 11.1
Music and Video apps on my Ipad show my Itunes Library Name correctly, but wont load them, after 30secs or so,comes up with "Unable to turn on home sharing".
Remote App does the same.
Home sharing is turned on in Itunes and on the Ipad (it found the library name after all).
Anyone else encountered this or know of a solutuion/work around?
Cheers

I have a similar issue.... But on my iPhone, I have yet to try my iPads etc. HS worked fine last night, but I had to clean install iOS7 due to some anomalies. Since doing so, HS will not verify.
And yet it shows my library in Videos and Music and even connects in Music... But it does not connect in Videos...? And when adding it to Remote, it states that it is unavailable at present and to try in a few minutes.
Odd behaviour...?
Does anyone have any ideas or solutions to hand.
Thanks.

Home Sharing with ios7. Where's the MORE button?

I've followed the instructions for home sharing completely...
the only problem is when I go to iTunes, when I'm suppose to click
on the MORE tab...it's not there.
There's a possiblity that I'm crazy, but I'm just not seeing it anywhere since the ios7 update.
ASSISTANCE!!!!

If you're referring to iTunes on your computer to be able to allow it, I think it's in iTunes Store tab, a tiny icon top left.
It's a pain to find. Apple is not ver good at giving proper instructions with screenshots to aid.

ITunes Home Sharing with iOS 4.3

I have a MacBook Pro, 1st and 2nd generation Apple TV, iPhone 3GS, and 3rd Generation iPod Touch (yeah, BIG fan of Apple!). When I bought the 2nd generation Apple TV I was able to setup Home Sharing on my MacBook Pro and the new Apple TV. According to Apple's website, with iOS 4.3, you can now share your entire iTunes library on any mobile device running iOS 4.3. On my iPhone 3GS, I went into settings and turned on Home Sharing. However, when I trying to get a video that is playing in iTunes on my MacBook Pro and get it to play on my iPhone 3GS, I am only seeing the option of either the computer or 2nd generation Apple TV.

Home Sharing is not a 'push' feature it is a 'pull' feature.
By that I mean that you cannot push content from iTunes to your mobile devices.
What you do is pull the content from iTunes onto the mobile device.
You are confusing AirPlay (which pushes content) with Home Sharing (which pulls content).
On the mobile device go into the iPod App and then into the ... (more menu) at the bottom, you should see the Shared option, pick this and it will allow you to select the iTunes library. You can then stream content from it (pull).

ITunes Home Sharing with Apple TV2, works with one Win 7 PC but not with the other

Hopefully someone out there can help with this, I have gone through all of the troubleshooting procedures that Apple provides, and have spoke to thier 'fast track' technical services department and we cannot resolve this.
My probelm is that Apple TV does not recognize my Win7 PC that has itunes running in Home Sharing mode. In order to test my router, network configurationand the Apple TV, I put iTunes on a laptop on my network running Win7 as well, and the Apple TV had no problems sharing with that computer. I have opened all of the ports in my firewall that Apple recommended, and tried to make it work both with and without my anti-virus software, but still no sharing of iTunes with this computer. We are working with the latest version of iTunes and Apple TV, both updated today.
Has anyone run into this problem?
Thanks
S McD

Yep - have had the same problem, especially since IOS5 came about and no solution has worked. I've fought this one for a while, I come back to it every once in a while when I see something that might be a new tack but no joy. I've also tried all that stuff, but none of them fix it.
I can tell you a couple of things I have found out along the way:
First off, there is some kind of issue with the Apple Mobile Service that causes it to not stay working. If you stop the service and start it you may be able to make the sharing show up for a bit, but it will eventually disappear.
Secondly, there may be a network routing factor to this too. Apple doesn't like to use the same kind of protocols as many sharing schemes do, instead preferring something known as "Bonjour". Bonjour uses multicast routing, and appears to either be programmed badly or in a non-standard way - or maybe there just is no standard. In any case what you find is that it just doesn't work, and there is no current fix.
Keep trying though, maybe you can figure it out. If you do, please come back and post what you did, I'd be very interested. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but I can at least tell you that you're not crazy, there are others out there having the same problem with the same bleak outlook. By the way, mine used to work until iOS5.

TS2972 Everytime I want to use Home sharing with my iPad from my Macbook Pro, it crashes.

I have checked the internet connection, apple ID and firewall, and everything is fine. It's just that iTunes on my iPad crashes every time I want to access the library that's on my Macbook Pro.
What can I do?

I have a new iPad Air and am using iTunes 11.1.3.8 on Windows 7 and I have this same issue.
Everytime I open iTunes it asks me to authorize my computer. I do so and it tells me that the system is already authorized.
I have followed the directions linked to no avail.

HT3819 Home sharing with 2 iPads

Internet connection drops when I use Home Sharing with my iPod Touch

Hi,
I have two PCs (Windows 7 and Windows Vista) both with iTunes 10.2.1 and an iPod Touch with iOS 4.3.1.
When I use iTunes' Home Sharing with my iPod Touch, that is, I stream music, podcasts, etc from either one of my PC computers to my iPod Touch, a few minutes later both laptops, as well as my iPod Touch, lose Internet connectivity. While home sharing continues, Internet connection is lost. I have to unplug my modem and wireless router to get back my Internet connection. The problem, however, recurs again and again.
Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.
Dave

I am having the same problem. My MacBook, iPad, iPhone, and even the PC all lose internet connectivity;but home sharing still continues to function properly on ATV2.
I'm not too savvy on routers and modems, but could the problem be my router's capacity?

Bitrate Home Sharing with iOS ?

Witch Bitrate and sampling rate are used in iTunes Home Sharing with iOS ?

The following says iOS 4.3 or later. It also says the latest version of iTunes and that requires OS X 10.6.8 or later, but it might be worthwhile to try all of the troubleshooting steps anyway. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972

Screen ipad doesn't respond during video viewing home sharing with multiple iOS devices simultaneously

A have a problem with the videos app and iTunes home sharing on multiple iOS devices.
This is my setup. On my iMac 2006 with Snow Leopard I have:
- 100+ dvd's ripped in my iTunes movie section
- 600+ episodes ripped in iTunes TV-section in 35 TV-shows
- 1 apple tv, 1 iPad 2, 1 iPad mini
On an average evening my family is watching different tv-shows simultaneously on the apple tv, the ipad, an iphone, and an ipad mini.
This is done through home sharing on the one iTunes library.
All updated apps, software etc..
What happens on the ipads, after viewing for more than 10 minutes, the user interface doesn't show up when tapping the screen. The touchscreen doesn't respond, only the home button works. Clicking the home button closes the app, but the sound of the video keeps on playing. Opening up the videos app again gives a black screen with sound still playing and still no button or UI.
The only workaround which currently works is killing the videos app. Power off the ipad and power on again, reconnect to the shared library, wait until it has found all the content (1+ minutes) and startup the tv show again.
All in all, a nasty way to pause your viewing or switching to another movie of tv episode, or even wanting to finish viewing.
The problem has haunted me for a year now, patiently waiting and hoping software-updates would fix it. They didn't.
A fix would obviously hugely improve my user experience, getting it on par with Apples usual quality of service.
Anyone familiar with this problem? Apple: is it possible to fix it in an update?

Same here for over a year now.
You cant imagine how happy i am that im not the only one with this problem.
many of frinds have the same setup as me (ipad 2, 27"imac, express, apple tv 2)
No problem
I had the problem on Snow Leopard, lion and now on mountain lion.
I'am also starting to get a new problem - sometimes when waching a movie on iPad or ATV it just quits the movie and you have to start it again
on the iPad most of the time it also shows the wrong cover art. I tried all the hints here, and i works for a day or two then its wrong again
I store my itunes library on an external drive - you ???

Does the iTunes home sharing limit of 5 apply to iPads?

I have one PC and 6 iPads in my home. I have managed to get iTunes Home Sharing working with the PC and 5 of the 6 iPads. Any suggestions as to how to get it working on the 6th? I do have another PC that I can add to the mix... I would love to make sure I can use the same Apple ID though. Thanks in advance for any ideas!

The page that you posted from applies to computers only, iOS devices (iPhones, iPads, iPod Touches) aren't authorised - so at any one time you can have your account authorised on up to 5 computers.

Itunes Home Sharing HD (720p) for Ipad and Iphone... Buffering Freezing...is a mess

I'd like to report a comment that I found on mac-forums.com that summerize the situation(http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/ios-apps/231842-ios-4-3-issues-home-sharing.htm l#post1273744):
"While home sharing works, it doesn't seem like a finished product to me. Since the appletv 2 is built on iOS, I don't understand why home sharing on the iPad does not work the EXACT same way as it does on the apple tv 2. These are the problems I have with home sharing on the iPad for video:
1) My shows should be displayed in order, which they are not. What I see is a random jumble of different shows, different seasons of the same show are not even placed together consistantly.
2) Once I select a season of a show, the episodes are not in order.
3) I can't see which episodes are watched or unwatched, nor can I resume an episode that I started on my computer (or start an episode on my iPad and finish it on my computer).
4) The streaming seems slow for HD content and stops every now and again to buffer.
The appletv 2 has none of these issues. Being as they run the same OS, I can only conclude that apple has a lot more work to do with home sharing on the iPad and iPhone, or they are deliberately hamstringing home sharing because now that they are releasing an HDMI adapter, a well implemented home sharing system would eat into the sales of the appletv 2."
I think that Apple must find a solution about this....also with ipad IOS 4.3.5 home sharing doesn't work properly with hd content....and I assure you is not a network problem

WHat happens?
Have your tried removing and reinstalling iTunes?
Cannot start ITunes on Laptop (linked to IPAD) at all but can from Browser.
What does "can from browser" mean?
Trying to share content from my IPAD and APple TV.
You don't share content from AppleTV (as it contains no content) and you can AirpPlay from iPad to AppleTV, not share content.
To turn on Home Sharing on the iPad, Settings > Store.
THis allow soyu to view the content of the iTune slibrary on your comnoputer.

HT3819 I can't find home sharing on my ipad? No problem with laptop

I cannot find home sharing on my ipad I just got Apple TV and had no problem with my laptop but I cannot connect my ipad

You would need to download the remote app. You wouldn't be home-sharing the iPad, its accessing your iTunes library from your laptop. To access content from your iPad you use airplay

ITune home sharing stops working if I enalbe WIFI sync for my iPad

I am using iTune 11.2.0.115 (64bit) on win 7 fully updated to May 28, 2014 win-updates. After upgrading to latest itune 11.2.0.115, I have noticed when I enable "Sync over WIFI" in my iTune for my iPad or iPhone, the iTune home sharing icon just disappers from left side panel and will not share no matter what steps I take. I have read and followed all the steps for trouble shooting home-sharing for itune. Such as re-install, disable ip6 etc...
I share my media out of a win 7 and I have another win 7, Mac, apple TV, ipad and iphone which they do not see my main libirary until I un-check the sync over wifi. However Mac and the Other win 7 can see each other's shared library.
I can re-produce this problem each and every time.
thx

HT202213 I have a new computer we set up with itunes home sharing. Can I add music to this new computer sync my iphone and ipod to it instead of the original computer. I'm not sure if it makes a difference if I have a different apple id than with our orig

I have a new computer that we set up with itunes home sharing and I need some assistance. I also have my own apple id and would like to make the new computer the one I use for my music. Should I set up a whole new itunes library/account or still work with the home sharing?

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.
