    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.

  • 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. 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!

    I have an Apple ID but for some reason iTunes does not recognizes it.
    I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes as well?

    Did you ever figure it out? I am new to itunes and it won't allow me to home share with my daughter because I don't have a credit card.

  • 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

    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.

  • HT1549 itunes home sharing import problem

    I am not seeing the "items not in my Library" or the import button, in itunes home sharing, but I see all the files on the other computer, and I can play them. I don't understand why it is not there.
    Thanks

    i'm having the same problem with home sharing of songs from my aluminum macbook, running itunes v9.2.1(4) in snow leopard v10.6.4, to my windows pc, running itunes v9.2.1.5 in windows xp professional sp3.
    in my case the sharing has worked perfectly before and works fine with songs from the pc to the mac and songs from the mac that are already in the pc's library. so only songs not in the pc's library seem to be affected.
    the error message tells me to check my internet connection, which also seems to working fine.

    can't sign in in to iTunes (home sharing) after reset and update apple tv3 

    I'm experiencing the exact same thing. Netflix, Youtube and everything else works perfectly, but I'm unable to wirelessly stream anything from my Mac, iPad, or iPhone. All on same wireless channel, all new updates, all have home sharing turned on. Never had a problem the last 2 years.

  • 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

  • How to properly embed album art work into TV/Films itunes: home sharing lag

    My setup is a simple apple home sharing network.
    I have a mac mini running OS X 10.6.8 and itunes 11.0.4(4) it hosts a lot of music, DVD's that have been re-encoded and paid for content from itunes.
    The mac mini is conntected to the network over a very good gigbit lan and has 4 apple TV3 (latest gen) hanging off the network, and multiple PC/Mac/ipod/ipad devices hanging off the network.
    I connect to the itunes home sharing service with the apple TV service using the "remote" application on the ipad.
    When I select Music/Albums TV Shows or Films from the menu of the itunes library the album art work loads (quickly) over the grey boxes as I scroll down. However this takes a few seconds for each "scroll" I do on the ipad (it has thousands of items in there).
    The exception to the rule is any paid content, when I open Music/TV/Films menu on the ipad the paid content (especially for TV and Films) the artwork is already there, and doesn't have to load it.
    How is the artwork for paid content contained differently than the artwork for content I've manually put into the itunes library.
    If I look at the itunes library locally on the machine hosting the itunes data, the artwork is there straightaway, no loading, pull up the items info with "get info" and click on art work, the artwork is there, and I can see no different in the art work settings for paid content or for content I've manually updated/loaded an image for.
    So why/how does the paid for content have artwork on the ipad the exact second I open it over the network, yet the non-paid for content take a few seconds per screen to load it.
    Is there something different in how the art work is embeeded, or is it a caching setting ? whats the difference.

    Dang You Autocorrect.
    You don't saw what size and resolution the embedded artwork is. This could be part of the issue. Artwork on movies you purchase from the iTunes Store is 667x1000 at 72 DPI so if yours is larger than this is could be causing the delay.

  • Issues with iTunes Home Sharing using iPhone 6 Plus

    Hi guys,
    I'm having problems with streaming music and video on my iPhone 6 plus from my Macbook Pro (mid 2010 model) using iTunes' Home Sharing . I am able to stream without any issues using my iPhone 4S and my Apple TV, however.
    I am using iTunes version 12.0.1.26, iOS 8.1.2, and OSX 10.9.5.
    Using my 6 plus, I am able to connect to my iTunes library, both music and video. Album art shows up for music but no cover art for the videos. So, all in all, I am able to see the contents of my library.
    However, when I try to play songs, a couple things may happen. First, nothing plays for about 10 seconds; then a second or two of the song plays followed by silence again, appearing as if it's buffering. Second thing that may happen is that a second or two plays immediately followed by silence. If I press next to play the next song, what usually happens is that nothing plays, although the song title does appear.
    As seen in this video, I don't have any issues with my WIFI connection or internet speed, as demonstrated using the iPhone 4S and Apple TV.
    I have no clue as to why this is happening.
    Hopefully someone could shed some light with this issue. Please feel free to comment. I'm open to and appreciate any suggestions while Apple tries to find a solution. Thanks.

    UPDATE
    So, after working with the guys at Apple, they were able to provide a solution.  Now I have no problems using Home Sharing with my iPhone 6 Plus!!!
    (I should add that I have the Linksys Advanced Dual-Band N Router (E2500))
    The issue was fixed by giving one of the wi-fi channels a different name, thus splitting the channels into 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.  Then, I connected my iPhone to one channel (2.4 GHz) and my MacBook Pro to the other channel (5GHz).  In this configuration, I have had no issues streaming my music and video.
    It seems that the problem is some kind of interference between both devices when using the same channel (i.e., when both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channel share the same name).

  • ITunes Home sharing unavailable in Mountain Lion

    iTunes Home sharing isn't working in ML. Mac Pro 2x2.93 quad core (3.2009) and Mac Mini (12.2009).
    On Mac pro I don't see the Mini Library on the left, on Mini I see the Pro Library but is impossible to see the content. I had no problems with Lion. I don't have problems with AppleTV. Thanks

    I found in this forum that the update of router firmware would resolve the problem. It's right. Thankyou.

  • 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!
