Home Sharing Does not work since the 10.2.2 update (win 7 64bit)

Ever since the update to 10.2.2 I have been unable to use home sharing. Anytime I turn on home sharing or folder sharing my itunes slows down to a crawl, taking over a minute to to any function (start playing a song, start a video, etc...) as soon as I turn off the home sharing itunes works properly again. This stinks because I cqan not use the remote function on my ipad or use my library on my apple TV.
I did the update to 10.3 today and I am still having the sam problem. can anyone help?
Here are the general stats from my itunes:

Home Sharing works once after I start iTunes on the Mac.
Next time I want to watch a film, it justs hangs and says it cannot connect to my iTunes library.
I have the same issue on 5 ATVs round the house (some wired some wireless), I have tried fixed and DHCP IP addressing, I have moved the Mac to be on the same switch as one of the ATVs and the problem is still there.
I have tried a different Mac running Mountain Lion and the same thing happens.
At the moment in order to watch a film I have to use Remote Desktop to log onto the Mac and stop and start iTunes then the ATV sees the library. Watch film. Move to other room, fire up ATV no library, use Remote Desktop, rinse and repeat....frustrating isn't the word.

Home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update.

home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update. Does anyone else have the same issue. Updated all computers in my home, deauthorized and reauthorized each computer. turn off home sharing and turned it back on. don't know what else to do..please help...

Our Apple TVs continue to lose connection ever since installing Mountain Lion on the host computer. The only thing that fixes them is to quit and relaunch iTunes, which only works unti the ATV goes to sleep. If a movie is paused for more than a few minutes and the ATV goes to sleep, pressing play again on the remote is greeted with "There are no movies on this computer" or "Turn on Home Sharing."
If we stop a video on one ATV and attempt to resume it in another room, the error begins again. The other ATV can't connect until iTunes is relaunched.
My guess is that it has something to do with the new [annoying] security settings. But I still haven't found a fix other than restarting iTunes everytime we want to watch something from our downloads. Fail.

Home Sharing does not work. It's time for Apple to act.

My specific question: Does anyone from Apple read these discussions *and* use the information to fix iTunes?
My issue (and I've given up on this): Home Sharing does not work and it needs to be fixed. I use a Windows 7 based PC and can successfully access my iTunes library from my iPad, meaning all network requirements are met. However many artists and albums do not appear. I know this is not about the tagging/data for the albums.
I found recommendations in these forums regarding the iTunes database (.itl), that this is a sign that the database is corrupted, and how to re-create it from the xml version. I used this technique and it did fix the problem - all albums and artists appeared. But within a day or so, they disappear again, meaning the .itl file is corrupted again and has to be re-created again. Also - if the .itl file is corrupted, then why does everything appear fine in iTunes? Somewhere, somehow the data are good enough to make iTunes work properly.
Bottom line: If you can't get the basics right, then Home Sharing does not work. Some very helpful forum commenters said it could have something to do with the anti-virus software, but that is just passing the buck. I should not have to know how to do all this. I should be able to turn on Home Sharing and enjoy the music from my iPads, iPhone, etc. Imagine you have to know how fuel injection works and be able to fix it every two days just to use your car - you should be able to turn the key and drive.
There are more problems - I won't even get into how the album won't display properly on the iPad and other annoyances.
Apple? Are you listening? Home Sharing does not work. It is the opposite of the image projected of easy-to-use, people-friendly products.
I suggest you either make it work or turn off the feature.

If your database is constantly becoming corrupt, you have a problem on your computer, it is nothing to do with homesharing. The corrupt database does not affect iTunes because that uses another file. It's not passing the buck, by considering whether anti-virus software might be causing this, this is the sort of stuff anti-virus software does (although I'm not saying that's what it is in your case-I don't know at this stage), you can't hold Apple accountable for badly written software that you have put on your computer yourself.
If you can't correctly identify what is causing your problem, you are never going to fix it.

ITunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64

iTunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64.
Getting the following error message:
Home sharing could not be activated because this computer is not authorized for the account "iTunes account." Please authorize this computer and try again.
This is a bug since my computer is authorized in iTunes and there is only 2 computer authorized for my iTunes account, so I have 3 more left till I should get this message.
I've just upgraded my iPhone to OS 3.1 using it this morning.
Please advise.

I am using Windows 7 x64.
I am running iTunes 9.0.2.25
I am running Mcafee.
I can see and play music from the iTunes installation on my Windows 7 machine, but I CANNOT access the library to copy songs from this computer to other computers on my network.
YES, I have enabled "Home Sharing" using my iTunes account. NO, I have not authorized more than 5 computers on this account.
I believe this to be a Windows 7 related issue, as Home Sharing worked as advertised when I was using Vista (before I upgraded to Windows 7).
I CAN set up Home Sharing on two other (host) computers in my home network and it works. These computers are XP and a MacBook Pro. I CANNOT access my Windows 7 machine x64 to COPY music from one autorized library to another. Please help!!!
P.S. - I have attempted to get this to work by turning OFF my McAfee firewall. Windows firewall is disabled.

Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help.

Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help. BTW the same 'Save As' dialog in other applications still allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory.

cor-el,
I kept forgetting and procrastinating about following your instructions, since I have internet access only for limited amounts of time and usually I am busy with important tasks when I am.
Out of the blue, the problem corrected itself (the Save As box started to open full screen, then shrunk down to a normal size and the edges can now be dragged to a custom size).
Even the copy and paste problem in the filenaming area seems to have been less troublesome lately even though there have been no updates to Firefox in a few weeks.
Even though I marked the solution as not helpful, the problem has in fact been resolved. I will save the solution instructions in case the issue returns.

Home sharing does not work after update to snow leopard 10.6.4 and iTunes 9

I am using home sharing since about a year without any problems. After updating to snow leopard 10.6.4 and iTunes 9.2 it suddenly does not work anymore.
On my iMac and my Mac Book Pro I get error code 3259 and it tells me to check my firewall and to enable Port 3689.
I did not change anything in the firewall settings, itunes on both allows data traffic in both directions. I also do not find any option to activate a port ( also wondering why this is suddenly now necessary)
I deactivated home sharing on both machines and enabled it again. It still does not work.
On both machines iTunes displays the the library on the left side but like said it is not accessable
With Finder I can access the other computer from both machines without any problem.
Any help to solve this would be very much appreciated

first of all, if you are behind a router firewall, and have your network secured (WPA2 and a long, non-dictionary password made up of letters and numbers), you don't need the software firewall on your Mac(s).
@ least turned if off for troubleshooting purposes.
turn home sharing off on both computers, and make sure
(a) both Macs have access to the internet
(b) iTunes on both machines is authorized for the same iTunes account.
turn home sharing back on on both Macs.
does it work ?

Home Sharing does not work anymore

I have Lion, iTunes 10.4, Apple TV2.
The Home Sharing connection with ATV2 breaks up after a few minutes.
The Remote app on both iPhone and iPad won't get connected thru Home Sharing to my iTunes.

Thanks for the input Jolly, but let me clarify.
I mean OS X (10.5.8) on my mini, I messed up when I said .4. As well as on the winblows 7 machine. Once ATV and iTunes were updated to the latest and greatest, everything that flawlessly worked immediately prior to the updates stopped working immediately after the updates. And FWIW, only one machine runs iTunes at a time, and 99.9% of the time it is being ran on my Mac.
Unless Apple changed the ports and protocol it was using on the ATV, the problem does not lie in bonjour, spotlight, the firewall or anything else related to my network or software settings.
The ATV and all machines were deauthorized, and re-authorized. home sharing was turned off, then back on on all machines. The only thing I can not do is hardwire the ATV to my network. So I have no option but to use the WiFi feature. And even over wireless, I have no problem accessing the iTunes store, NetFlix, You Tube, etc on the ATV after the latest and greatest update(s).
Only have two things left to try. Use a static IP, and/or reset the ATV.
And the link you posted, I used the information in there to make iTunes work when I initially set up the winblows box. So how is following those instructions again when all the steps have been already completed, and again verified after it all stopped working going to help? Same goes with the link to troubleshooting the my Mac.
Again, everything has been verified, tested and tried again and again.

Home sharing does not work with apple tv

Can anyone help me. I used to be able to stream all content from my home master computer to my Apply TV. Now it suddenly does not work.
Apple TV itself works just fine. I can also airplay using it with out IPADs.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes. Reset the modem/router. Reset Appletv. Tried with Norton disabled. etc.
Nothing seems to work.
I keep getting the 'Turn on your home sharing in Itunes' message. But it is on.
Help is appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Sometimes just disabling Norton isn't enough, you may need to hunt down every last file it has written to your computer then re-install iTunes. I understand Norton can be quite a nasty little intrusion.
I know very little about PC's or security software as I have neither, but the following article might help you.

Online help does not work any more (Lightroom 3, CS5 Suite)

Hi,
since a few days I get an error when using the Lightroom Online (german edition) help on my Win 7 64bit computer.
When searching for something there pops up a dialog box stating "Unerwarteter Fehler. Suchen Sie erneut", that's like "Unexpected error. Please search again".
My girlfriend has the CS5 Web Suite. She gets the same error on a diffferent computer (but also Win7 64bit). She also got an error 16822 when the help client tried to update. This error is already known and so I was able to fix it.
But the error when using the help itself is still there.
Any ideas.
PS: The help does work when I switch from online to local search.

Yes
I tried again— but NO – it does not work
Help OPENS
