On my windows 7 machine, itunes won't connect home sharing with apple tv

On my windows 7 machine, itunes won't connect home sharing with my apple tv. This problem started about two itunes updates ago. Any thoughts?

Try a search of the forums or the "More Like This" section to the right.
Also might have better luck posting to the Apple TV forum.

How can i connect home sharing and the control app with 2 IP addresses?

i am using my macbook pro at school and i also take it back home, and when i'm home the home sharing with my iPhone 5's Remote app works perfectly fine, just that when i'm back to res at school it doesn't work for some unknown reason. i've checked everything including the firewall and stuff and itunes home sharing is turned on, i even tried using another home sharing apple id but it still doesn't work. somebody please help!!!
thanks!

If you use eithernet for your main connection then just plug the TC bridged into the network.
If you use wireless for your internet connection then you can use the TC isolated from the network by ethernet.. but this is really only convenient on a desktop Mac.
The instructions I put in this thread with screenshots.. see near the bottom.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4817218?tstart=30
It is a bit tricky so if you have questions ask back here.
Just to say a USB for firewire external drive is faster and more reliable than a TC.. cheaper to buy as well.. although since you already have the TC that is not a concern.. but you can ebay the TC and buy a bigger and better external drive with the proceeds.

ITunes can't connect to shared library UNLESS it's manually connected?

this is a problem i've been monkeying with off and on for nearly a year now, but haven't ever found a solution for.
What I am specifically looking for is a way to connect to a shared library on my local network but do so without having to physically click the library to connect it. Everything that I've found has worked after the library has been connected, but I can't find a solution that actually connects to the library.
I've asked doug at doug's applescripts for help... he had no answer.
i've asked hanaan rosenthal (author of a few applescript books) for help.. he had no answer.
i've posted a few times on macscripter.net ( http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=35511 ) ... nobody had an answer.
i've dug around the apple discussion boards (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2324452) and found similar questions, but there were no satisfactory answers...
both of the following scripts work when the library is already connected but fail when it's not... how can i get it to work every time...
activate application "iTunes"
tell application "System Events"
tell process "iTunes"
get the value of static text 1 of row 17 of outline 1 of scroll area 2 of window 1
end tell
end tell
tell application "iTunes"
activate
repeat with theSource in every source
if name of theSource as text is "MY SHARED LIBRARY" then
set theLibrary to user playlist "MY SHARED PLAYLIST" of theSource
end if
end repeat
tell theLibrary
set shuffle to true
set song repeat to all
end tell
play some track of theLibrary
end tell
any help would be very much appreciated.

this new format has erased my response twice now and is kinda ******* me off. grrrr.
the gist of my previous two posts (they were much better explained/phrased).
THANK you very much. you very quickly answered a question that I had spent a fair amount of time looking for an answer to.
the code worked beautifully when i ran it by itself, but when i paired it with the rest of the code i wrote for this little project my follow up code never executed...   i'm not sure if this is because of something in the handler/subroutine code or because the whole thing runs as an Automator application.
the edited code isn't as elegant, but it does the job I needed it to. Thank you very much for that.

On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD on a different computer using Home Sharing? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

Yes, you can copy songs that you ripped from a CD to your Home Sharing computer.
Turn on Home Sharing first on both computers. To do that, go to File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing. Enter your Apple ID and password.
Now go to your computer that you want to copy the songs to and connect to your Home Share. You can do that by clicking on the popover button located at the left top corner right below the play control buttons. Click on it and scroll to the bottom until you see your Home Share and select it.
Go to Music in your Home Share. Select the songs that you want to copy in your Home Share and click Import at the bottom right corner.

Can I use home sharing to watch a rented movie on itunes on another computer

can I use home sharing to watch a rented movie on itunes on another computer (I already have home sharing with other computers set up, but I don't see it.)?

Please be aware of the movie rental's time limitation that you have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to finish watching it. You may watch it as many times as you like during those 24 hours. It may be helpful to make sure the download completes successfully before you begin watching the movie.
Once the download is complete you can watch it without an Internet connection. However, an Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback or activate the 24 hours time-limit of movie rentals. This means, only during the starting of the movie. Once you have started playing the movie rental, internet connection is not required. You can play anywhere without internet connection.
You may need to validate the rental prior to watching so it starts the rental period timer and for that you will need an internet connection. You can probably do that by starting the rented movie while on the Airport Wifi or right before leaving home. You'll have 24 hours to watch the movie after you start it.
For more information on movie rentals, you can visit:

Note: 24 hours time limit is for United States customer only, while 48 hours for other countries.

HT3819 Can I use Home Sharing to permanently Transfer my old iTunes Library to a new macbook pro?

Hi,
I have a quick questoin regarding iTunes Home Sharing.
1. Can I use Home Sharing to transfer music from my iTunes Library on my old Power Mac to iTunes on my new MacBook Pro?
2. If I deauthorise iTunes on my old Power Mac will I lose my music on my new iTunes Library on my Macbook Pro - essentially are the two somehow linked together? I want to erase my old HD, wipe it clean, chuck it in a case and use as a back up storage, and then sell my old Power Mac.
Thanks in advance.

Home Sharing is only for PCs that are connected in the same network

TS2972 can I use home sharing to transfer iTunes from old computer to new computer?

can I use home sharing to transfer iTunes from old computer to new computer?

You are trying to use home sharing, you are logged into the same account for sharing on both computers (and they are connected to the same wifi network), and what happens when you try to copy your library ? Can you update your iTunes so that they are the same on both ?

Not sure about the CD burning issue but you can turn off the listing of your past purchases. Edit > Preferences > Store > Untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.

I SET UP THE HOME SHARING ON MY COMPUTER, AND i CAN STREAM MY PHOTOS AND SEE ALL THE VIDEOS AND LISTEN SONGS IN MY ITUNES, BUT CAN NOT DO HOME SHARING, ON THE TV, ALWAYS SHOWS "TURN ON HOME SHARING ON YOUR OMPUTER WITH YOUR ID WHICH I DID BUT NOTHING HELP

I just bought my apple tv yesterday and SET UP THE HOME SHARING ON MY COMPUTER, I CAN STREAM MY PHOTOS AND SEE ALL THE VIDEOS AND LISTEN SONGS IN MY ITUNES, BUT CAN NOT DO HOME SHARING, ON THE TV, ALWAYS SHOWS "TURN ON HOME SHARING ON YOUR OMPUTER WITH YOUR ID WHICH I DID BUT NOTHING HAPPEN. WHAT'S WRONG? WHAT SHALL I DO NOW?

I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem. The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6. (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

You can't, you will need to get a new remote.

Can't get Home Sharing to work with ATV, v7.0.3 and iTunes 12.1.0.50

I can't get Home Sharing to work. I'm looking at my MacBook screen and iTunes says Home Sharing is On. On Apple TV, it says Turn On Home Sharing in iTunes. Both are using the same Apple ID and password (signed out and signed back in manually on both). I have tried the following: Signing out of and into Home Sharing on Apple TV and iTunes, closing iTunes and restarting the MacBook, restarting and restoring Apple TV to factory settings, restarting my router, all possible iterations of the aforementioned. Nothing seems to work. Also tried renaming my computer in preferences/sharing.
Any new ideas?
Using ATV3 software v7.0.3
iTunes software v12.1.0.50
MacBook software OS X Yosemite v10.10.2

Only have one network; wireless. On it's own, the MacBook can use wifi to surf the net and Apple TV can watch movie previews from Apple via wifi.
It did work about two months ago. I haven't used it since then for home sharing but have used the Apple TV on its own.
I read the Troubleshooting page on Apple Support. It involves turning various things on and off, which I did

I can't enable Home Sharing in both PC, iPhone 4S and IPad 2. i enabled them but my IPhone couldn't find my iTunes Library in my PC

I can't enable Home Sharing in both PC, iPhone 4S and IPad 2. i enabled them but my IPhone couldn't find my iTunes Library in my PC

The iPhone 5 requirements are:
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later
So, upgrade your MacBook system to Snow Leopard OS 10.6.x Then you can sync both devices.

Can I use home sharing with Power Mac G5?

I am using a PowerMac G5 2.0GHz, I am currently using an AirPort Extreme card however would have no difficulty in using ethernet connection.
I was wondering if, can I run home sharing from my PowerMac to my ATV3 and iPad? If so, what operating system and iTunes version would be required?

You need to install a full retail version of OS X 10.5 Leopard, then run the software update fearure of OS X to update the OS X version to OS X 10.5.8 and then update iTunes to 10.6.3 to get the Home Sharing feature.
iTunes 10.6.3 is the last version of iTunes to work on PowerPC Macs.
What iPad are you using?
I have an iPad3 and this feature worked the OS X 10.5.8 and iTunes 10.6.3.
Not sure about the latest ATV, though.
