Laptop brings up error 5506 when trying to turn on home sharing.
How do I fix this ?

Me neither... But my home haring did just come back after signing in and out of iTunes and trying to turn on home sharing....judging by the popularity of this issue right now and the older posts on the subject, it would seem that it's some kind of glitch with the apple servers.

  • I keep getting error code 3212 when trying to connect to home sharing.. i am connected to the internet

    i keep getting error code 3212 when trying to connect to home sharing.. i am connected to the internet

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • What can I do when I cannot turn off home sharing to other devices?

    I just bought an iMac (my first) and when I tried to turn on home sharing, it told me that I would need to deactivate home sharing on another device. My other devices (an ex-boyfriend's computer, a crashed/dead HD laptop, a crashed/dead Dell desktop...) cannot be reached to turn off...what to do??? Many thanks for your help!

    Go to Settings>General>Usage. How much space does it show you have?
    If you connect your phone to your computer, what does iTunes say is on your phone? Do you see a large amount of "Other"? If so, you may have a corrupted database. You'll need to sync your phone then restore it as NEW (not from back up) then re-sync your data).

  • Getting 5506 error when trying to sign into Home Sharing

    I had to get a new ID. It took a while because I kept getting redo information constantly. When I got my password figured out, Home Sharing would not accept my id and password, or except one but not the other. What is the 5506 error, and is there anything I can do about it.

    I received this email from Apple and this corrected the problem for me...  I only had to reset the iTunes cache
    1) Open iTunes
    2) At the top menu, click File > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac)
    3) In the Preferences menu, click the Advanced tab
    4) In the Advanced menu, you should see a button that says "Reset Cache". Please click this button.

  • Archive Utility brings up error message when trying to unarchive protected zip file

    Hey there,
    I've been zipping images with password protection using different applications, some with a Lightroom Plug-In Zip-Exporter, some with a stand alone app such as "Archiver". Now when I try to unzip these images on OSX 10.6 the Archive Utility brings up an the error: "Unable to unarchive "Name of File" into "Desktop". (Error 1 - Operation not permitted.) I'm logged in with an admin account. I tried this on a macbook pro and on an imac, both 10.6, same problem. Now when I try to unzip the file using third party such as Stuffit expander or Archiver, it unzips the files without a problem.
    any idea what's wrong with the OSX Archive Utility?

    Nothing's wrong with it except that it doesn't support encrypted .zip files.  You'll just have to use third-party software, or a Terminal command, to unzip those.

  • I have a C000 error message when trying to turn on my Pixma MG8120.

    I replaced some ink cartridges and immediately received a C000 error and cannot turn the machine on now.  There are no paper jams.  I tried putting the old cartridges back in - but that didn't help.  The printer has been working fine til now.  Help?

    Same problem here...nothing in my settings have changed since the upgrade and I've checked my cookie settings and they allow 3rd party cookies. What's up Mozilla? I've been faithful to you for years and you let me down now?

    Hello scollins60,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    "Error -3150"
    This alert is often related to a lost connection to the iTunes Store.
    If you encounter this alert and you have verified you have a connection to the Internet using Wi-Fi, please reviewAirPort and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference.
    If the issue persists, and you're using iTunes for Windows, you may need to flush your DNS and remove pop-up or ad-blockers.
    Finally, this can occur due to timeouts caused by security software.
    Best of luck,
