Music copied via home share not authorized

Copied a bunch of music, some old some new from my main machine to my Macbook pro. Got out on the road and it tells me that this computer isn't authorized to play some of the older tracks, I'm asuming those are the ones I never upgraded to iTunes plus and still have DRM wrapped around em.
This machine IS authorized! Typing in my password for those songs confirms this machine is authorized.
I deauthorized this machine and re-authorized it, and it still won't let me play or burn those tracks.
Weird!

1. Try turn Off Home sharing one at a time and turn it back On again.
2. If it doesn't help, switch internet security Off and do step 1 again.
3. If you still have Sharing problem, see links below

HT3819 Permanently keep files on iPod & other computers via Home Share?

I just got the new iPod Touch iOS6 and I need it to synch with 2 computers (iMac and PC) and my old iPod touch.
I have my a home share set up on my iMac (iTunes 9.2) which has all my purchases over the last 6 years and its synched with my iPod Touch iOS4.
My iMac music library shows up on my Windows iTunes (10.5) via Home Share, but not the movies or TV shows. How do I get all the files (music, movies, tv shows) permanently over to the PC?
What's the easiest way?

No audio on films played via Home Share

Good evening, everyone!
I have a rather odd problem. When accessing media via Home Share, I get no sound when watching video content. For audio-only files, the sound comes through fine.
Does anyone know what I can do to solve this?
Many thanks!!
DAN

You also need iOS4.2 as well as the iTunes downgrade.
If you look at the ATV specification you will see the file types it supports and you will find the ones that don't work are not to that specification.
So you will need to encode your MP4's with the H.264 codec and then they will work. Or you will have to drop your resolution down for MPEG4 encoding.
Apple probably did this so that streaming would be compatible with their products and work without any problems.

Home share not working on iPad but is working on iPhone

Home share not working on iPad but is working on iPhone

Have you signed in at Settings > Music with same Apple ID and password as you used in iTunes and on your iPhone to enable Home Sharing?

Since I downloaded iTunes 11, I get a message when syncing my iPod that some of my songs were not copied because they are not authorized on this computer, I go to Store Authorize This Computer, a message pops up telling me that this computer is already.

So I am unclear, did you purchase these songs or import them from a cd?
If you imported them and still have the CD try importing them again and see if they work the delete the others.
Or if you purchased from itunes re-dowwnload and see if they work. Maybe they are corrupted files and this should resove it.

I have enabled itunes share on an authorized computer but transferring music give me an error - not authorized. This is not the case. What am I missing?

I have enabled iTunes shaing on an authorized computer. Whenever I try to transfer a song from owner to a subdirectory on the authorized second computer
It tells me it is not authorized. Further query says it is. What is the fix? This is a rather aggravting situation.

make sure on both computers it says autherized

Can't watch rental on Mac after watching it on ATV via Home Share

A couple of times I've rented a movie from iTunes on my Macbook. When my family wants to watch it, I turn on Home Sharing and am able to use our Apple TV to select my computer, go to the 'Rentals' folder and view the movie.
However, when we've finished watching it, I can't view it on my Macbook anymore. I get a 'Could not play the rental because it is authorized to play on another computer or device'. Even if I turn off the Home Share and put the Apple TV to sleep, I still get this message.
Since I'm not actually "transferring" the movie file from my laptop to the Apple TV, I'm confused as to why I can't watch it on my laptop after we've viewed it on the Apple TV.
Renting movies is expensive, and you only get 24 hours to watch them. This technical issue is really causing problems for me. Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

Lots of new intermitant and odd network issues with the last two ATV updates. I know this sounds weird and makes no sense, but if you are using WiFi switch to wired or if wired switch to WiFi. It is too long winded to exmplain why. Give it a try and see if it helps.

After working great why will my home share not work on my iphone and ipad mini

I had been running home share on my iphone great. I share a music library with my wife. We just bought an ipad mini and i was messing around with the ipad and set up home share, however it would not work. I tried logging out of my iphone and re connect and it will no longer connect. I have not been able to get home share to work on the mini.
I have browsed all the feeds, but not getting anywhere.

Itunes 10.5 Home share not working

I recently updated to itunes 10.5, and now my home share doesn't work. I can get a song to play from my computer on the tv, but not a video, and I can't access any of my media on the apple tv. Windows 7 and apple TV 2. It was working fine prior to the itunes update, so I'm pretty sure it's related to that. Any advice?

Hey guys,
This is an enormously frustrating issue and I am disappointed that it does not seem like Apple is taking it seriously, much less solving it. I have seen a lot of people desperate to help and I have tried many of the solutions that made sense to me (repair iTunes; create Windows Firewall Exceptions) and ignored the ones that make no sense whatsoever (reboot your Internet gateway; deauthorize your computers). I am on a Windows 7 x64 machine fully patched, single 8 core CPU with 24GB RAM and 6TB of storage - it ain't the machine...
This seems to be a unique problem to iTunes 10.5. Here is why I believe this to be true:
1. I disabled WFW No result.
2. I created WFW exceptions NO result at all.
3. I did a repair install of iTunes - Actually worked for one night.
4. Uninstalled iTunes 10.5. Installed iTunes 10.4 and everything works like a champ.
Apple needs to solve this issue, I'm afraid until they do anything that gets you up and running is temporary. In any case getting a consumer oriented click-to-install application should not require a project plan and customizations to work properly. This is true even if WFW needs tweaking that simply tells me they didn't test their installer enough to ensure it properly configured WFW, including removing erroneous entries...not an issue on my machine...
I am standing by for Apple to sort this out...until then 10.4 is my friend.
Cheers

ITunes Home Sharring not working correctly.

My itunes homesharing is not working correctly. I have a Windows 8 computer and I am trying to share with my partners Widows 7 computer. Both computers are running the newest version of itunes 11 (downloaded yesterday). I sign in and turned on home sharring with the same user id and password. For the first 20-30 mins it worked perfectly, I could open her library and she could open mine and we could download songs from each other with no issue. We closed both computers and about 2 hours later turned them on to try again. Now my computer (Windows8) always shows up on hers but her computer only shows up about 1/2 the time for me, and half of that time if you click on her computer it says loading then stops and her computer has disapperard again. I can eventually get it to work after many turning off and on of home sharring but it take about 15-20min each time to get it working. Is this a problem others have seen? Does anyone know a solution?

This issue has now been completely resolved with the introduction of iTunes 9.2 Everything up and running again - thank you Apple! (Still an issue with Dictionary app/Wikipedia not functioning correctly, this has not been resolved)

Windows 7 Home Share Not Working Unless Logged In to Computer

So my old computer with Windows Home Server blew up last week. I bought a new computer with Windows 7 running and have everything set up.
Here's the rub... I cannot access my itunes home share unless I am logged in or remotely logged int to the computer.
My old home server did not have this issue.
I am looking to have the desktop onin the basement and run without being logged in.
I have rebooted and did the services thing, but cannot seem to find the needle in the haystack.
Can anyone help.
My kids are frustrated that I cannot get it fixed and they cannot watch Scooby Doo!
Thanks in advance!

Home sharring not working.

My home sharing wont work. I'm supposed to have it on four different computers and it wont work on any of them. I've tried everything. Help please

Got new iTune update, instaled on my home server 2008 r2, as I had the previous versionon here. Now with the new Itunes my home sharring is not working when it use to work fine on the older version. However this works fine on my Laptop on windows 7, Iam guessing the new Itune doesn't support Server ? Or is there some thing i need to do. Can Apple Help me ?

Home share not showing up in iTunes

When I try to set up "home sharing" in iTunes Advanced tab on the menu bar the "share" header shows up as it is supposed to. When I press "done" to complete the step the "share" header disapears. Therefore not allowing me to use home share as it is intended.
Has anyone seen this before.

I discovered 2 things about home sharing.
1) File sharing on the Mac must be turned on for this to work properly. System Prefs -> Sharing -> File Sharing
2) If you are not actively sharing iTunes with another computer - the Share header in iTunes is not visible. When a computer actively connects with your iTunes to share, the Share header will show up along with details of the shared connection.
I hope this helps someone.

Why does home share not showing up?

Hi, I have iTunes 11. The latest as of 1/21/2013. I am trying to transfer music from my laptop (running Windows 7) to a Desktop PC (also running Windows 7) So when I put in my exact Home share ID on both PC's. It doesn't list the computers in the side. I checked my Internet connection and 1. It's the same. 2. It works. So I don't see the problem with my iTunes. Why is this happening?

1. Try turn Off Home sharing one at a time and turn it back On again.
2. If it doesn't help, switch internet security Off and do step 1 again.
3. If you still have Sharing problem, see links below
