Problems viewing a specific movie in Home Sharing.

A new downloaded HD movie wont show up through home sharing on my iPad but will on my iPhone and Apple TV, is there a reason for this?

I meant to add that all my other movies show up fine, and I have tried signing out and back in to home sharing on my iPad in movie settings.

    Home sharing problem: I have never set up home sharing but I feel I the concept and how it works.  I recently (last 2 months or so) deauthorized, first time ever, all computers with my iTunes account. I have 3 computers authorized.  I am trying to set up home sharing but get  iTunes says:
    "Home Sharing could not be activated because this computer is not authorized for the Apple Id "#########@###.com". Would you like to authorize now?"  I click "authorize" and get the next error " You cannont authorize more than 5 computers.  You have already authorized 5 computers with this Apple ID.  To authorize this computer you must first deauthorize one of the other computers."
    Can someone help or shed more light on my problem?
    Thanks,

    Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
    Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
    Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
    AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet.  It's not designed to.  if the work computer was on the home network it would.
    iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2.  Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
    Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.

  • We have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong?

    we have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong? it comes to the last loading page where it shows the desscription of the movie befor it acually plays.

    It can come about without any change done by the user, and it's not just from other networks. The placement of the router can also affect performance. Also make sure router is up to date.
    Apart from that would be the reboots.

  • Problems viewing 1080i/60 .mov files

    I am having problems viewing 1080i/60 .mov files. When I open the file, it shows all white. I have exported some HD footage shot on my HVX 200. I am using FCP 5.0.4. I also have created some animated clips from Vue 6 Infinite and it does the same thing.
    I have Quicktime Pro 7.1.5
    does anyone have any suggestions on what to do, or what I need to download in order to have this work?
    Thanks

    Export from Final Cut using the Apple Intermediate codec to view in QuickTime.
    You've probably exported using an HDV codec only used by Final Cut.

  • I rented a movie on my apple computer but it won't play on my apple tv.  i have never had a problem until a month ago.  Home sharing is on, and internet is fine.

    I rented a movie on my apple computer but it wont play on my apple tv.  never had problems till 1 month ago.  internet fine, home sharing on.

    The movie must fully download to iTunes.
    If you have an AppleTV1, have you downloaded a 1080p movie rental as it can't handle that, in which case alter your Preferences for downloads to 720p, contact iTunes Store support and see if they can re-enable the download or refund so you can rent again at 720p.
    If you have black model ATV2 or ATV3, then I assume you are looking under the Computers icon where a new Rentals row appears in order to play rentals downloaded to iTunes.

  • Download movies from home sharing?

    I ripped most of my DVDs so I can play them through Apple TV, etc. I share them via iTunes using home sharing. However, I want to be able to download movies from that shared library directly to my iPad and/or iPhone so I have them when I travel. I read you could just 'drag' them to a different (say, local) library, but I do not see how to do that. I'm viewing the content in the shared library and can't find any way of copying that content anywhere.

    Thanks, but that is not my question. My question is whether I can transfer/download from home sharing.

  • Can no longer play movies via home sharing on Apple TV 2

    I'm having trouble sharing movies via iTunes through home sharing.  Everything I have is Mac, a 2008 iMac, Airport Extreme, (2) Apple TV 2's, and a Macbook Pro.  Everything was fine with this entire setup with all of the movies I've ripped (using the Apple TV 2 settings in Handbrake) until Lion came out. Suddenly I got the 'Content cannot be displayed. Try again later' error message.  After much searching, I found that disabling IPv6 was a good solution, temporarily, that is until Apple released iOS 5.  I updated the ATV2's, iPhone, and iPad, and iMac with everything that came out during the update, and the issue came back.
    I've tried everything I can think of, changing router channels, disabling IPv6 everywhere I saw it, wireless, hardwired, reloading the library, disabling the firewall, countless restarts of all my equipement etc.  All of these movies worked perfectly before the updates, and suddenly I cant stream anything through my local MAC network. 
    Has anyone else seen this? Has anyone found any solutions for this problem? I could really use the help, Apple support is... limited. 

    Problem solved for me!  After trying every possible setting on my equipment, including changing firmware revs on my router, rebuilding my library, re-encoding certain movies, changing all my iTunes, Network, Security, Sharing, and WiFi settings, I finally figured it out. 
    It looks to be a bug with the new iOS release V4.4 - Assuming you have your movies encoded in 5.1AC3 surround, you have to go into the Audio & Video settings on your ATV2, go down to Dolby Digital, and change the setting from Auto to On.  For me at least, it was simple as that.  I've tried all the same movies I was trying to play before, only then I was getting 'An error occurred loading this content.'  After changing the setting from Auto to On, every single movie began working again, in full surround sound. To test it, I switched the setting back to Auto and the same problem came back.  I'm sure Apple will have a fix for this later, but for now, we can assume 'Auto' means 'You cant stream your movies.'
    I hope this helps!

  • HT2688 How do I restrict access to *specific* songs (or give access to a specific playlist) in Home Sharing

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2688?
    This article describes two different things:
    Music Sharing and
    Home Sharing
    Music Sharing allows you to select playlist(s) to share, and allows you to play the song from another device. It does *not* allow you to transfer the song to another device.
    Home Sharing allows you to share your ENTIRE music library and transfer the songs to another device. It does not allow you to restrict the share to a specific playlist(s).
    Try it. You can set a password and check the boxes to restrict your playlists, but that only restricts while Home Sharing is turned off. EVERY file is accessible when you have Home Sharing running.
    I have a bunch of music I don't want my kids listening to. I've created a playlist for them, and I want them to be able to load their ipods with music from that list without accessing other music.  Any ideas?

    say suppose i have no control over wcf client. so i want to do it at client side. so what is your suggestion. thanks
    If you can't  implement role based secuirty on the client-side, the you may want to look at what is in the link.

  • Is anybody else having problems with iOS 7.1 and Home Sharing?

    I have two iPhone 4's - one I recently upgraded to iOS 7.1 and the other running 6.3.1. The phone upgraded to 7.1 will not connect to my (rather large iTunes library) on my Mac Mini (running 10.9.2). The 7.1 phone does see the library - and attempts to connect - but the progress indicator stops at about 50%.
    I've tried de-activating sharing on the Mini and then re-activating. I've tried restoring the 7.1 phone from a back-up. No change.
    Also - now the 6.3 phone will connect to the library - but the playlists have no entries and 99% of the library is missing.
    Before the upgrade - the phone now running 7.1 never had any issues with Home Sharing.
    Anyone else out there having issues with iOS 7.1 and Home Sharing?

    I've had no problems with Facebook on my iPhone 5 but here are a couple of suggestions.
    1. Quit Facebook like I describe then reset the iPhone. Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
    2. If the first thing doesn't help, quit Facebook again, delete Facebook, and reset the iPad. After the iPad restarts use the App Store app to download Facebook again.

  • Cant Find My Imported Movie Through Home Sharing

    I imported a movie onto my brother's computer from my Mac Book through home sharing.  The import seemed to work fine, but now we can't find the movie on his computer or iTunes.  Any ideas?  It took a good 15 minutes to transfer so the movie must have gone somewhere right?

    Hi!
    The same thing happened to me, call apple customer services, it was sorted in minutes. You need to give your ref no. They'll send you another e-mail with the product key. Good luck!

  • Apple TV,Problems viewing a purchased movie?

    I am somewhat new at this. I have a new Apple TV and have successfully rented and viewed movies using it. Today there was a movie I wanted to watch that could only be purchased. I decided to purchase. Went through the process and received the alert that the movie was ready to be viewed. When I selected it to be viewed, I received an error message that stated that this Apple TV was not authorized to view this content. I am sure I paid the 9.95 through itunes and now I can't view the movie. Did I do something wrong in set-up?

    I have to unplug my skybox whenever I want to use it in order to be able to switch it on, then occasionally it will disappear in the middle of something and then I need to remove my card, wipe it, put it back in and restart again.
    Time to get rid of it then.
    I did in August and don't miss it one bit.

  • TS2972 My apple tv stuck after playing one movie in home sharing. Any advice?

    I cant play another movie after i have seen one.
    I need to restart my itunes to fix it anytime,
    Any advice?

    Just wanted to let you know that I think my problem is resolved.
    I started with your suggestion to disable the firewall and that seems to have solved the problem.
    Thanks very much and have a Merry Christmas.

  • Problems viewing finished burned iDVD on home DVD players

    I just created a simple slideshow for Father's Day with iDVD08 and burned it to a Maxell DVD-R DVD. No problem. Then played the burned DVD on my iMAC G5 and again no problem. I have three songs that play throughout the 110 slide show.
    Then I played the DVD on our Blue Ray DVD player. Initially it worked fine, then all of a sudden, I get a bright green screen inbetween each slide. I had the cube effect going then suddenly 25 slides into the "show", this bright green screen fills the space, then the next slide appears (no cube effect now) and then green, and then the next slide. The music continues to play.
    I then took the DVD downstairs to play on our regular Toshiba DVD player. and this time I get DISK ERROR and it won't play at all.
    I burned the DVD using default settings (and Region 1) -- what should I do differently.
    Please advise!

    The Green Screen problem is a know issue and can be fixed by not letting your computers screen go to sleep or screen saver activate which the DVD is being burned.
    Here is the Apple article that covers the issue :-
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1044
    As to your DVD not playing at all in one of your DVD players, that can sometimes be the case as all DVD players do not follow the DVD standard and can be incompatible with self burned DVD's.

  • ITunes 10.1 home sharing problem

    i can't believe there is no fix for this. i am having problem with iTunes 10.1 using home sharing.
    i have a PC & a laptop both running windows 7 64bit.
    i have the windows home group enabled on both & can share files effortlessly with each other outside of iTunes.
    i have just updated to itunes 10.1 hoping that the update would fix the problem. it didn't.
    i have both itunes open. both are signed into the same account (i only have 1)
    on the PC i can see the laptop & i can play music from it or transfer etc.
    on the laptop i cannot see the PC. the home sharing icon is not there.
    i have done all the usual stuff. turn off & on home sharing & also the sharing under preferences. i have even de-authorized both & re-authorized. signed out & back in to iTunes.
    i just don't know where to go from here. i want the PC to show up as i have all my music & some movies on that.
    i got the new apple tv 2.0 & it also only shows the laptop & not the PC.
    update:
    i just tried using a different router. as soon as i set it up, both machines seen each other. the main router i use is the Netcomm NB9WMAXXn. the router that i got to work is an Asus WL-AM604g.
    i can't believe the Netcomm is the problem as i don't have an issue networking outside of iTunes.
    maybe a setting? i even factory reset the Netcomm. no luck.
    any help would be very much appreciated......

    I had the exact same problem between my two Windows 7 computers when I updated them to iTunes 10.1 - the shared library would show up on the side in iTunes, but when I attempted to open it, it would say it was loading for a while and then disappear.
    I solved the problem by first turning off Home Sharing on both computers Advanced->Turn Off Home Sharing (act name).
    I then deauthorized the iTunes account associated with my home share on both computers Store->Deauthorize This Computer...
    I then reauthorized both computers Store->Authorize This Computer...
    I then turned Home Sharing back on for both computers Advanced->Turn On Home Sharing
    After following these steps, I am able to use home sharing again.
