Question regarding Home Sharing in iOS 4.3

Does one have to enable sharing inside iTunes as well as turning on Home Sharing? Some of the how to's I have read say you need to check the boxes in iTunes Sharing while others just say to turn on Home Sharing in iTunes and in iPad iPod settings.Thanks

There is another place in iTunes preferences where you can check off what you want to share under Sharing. It's these settings I'm wondering about.
Mine are unchecked in that location and Home Sharing works fine on my iPad 1.
Same here.
Mine were already set to share - I've probably had it set up that way for months and I thought it might help if it they were checked. Set up was flawless for me but when in doubt....
For the life of me, I'm unable to figure out just what the Prefs do.

  • Hello, I have a question regarding the sharing/exporting on imovie. Whenever I click the share button all the normal options pop up, but when I actually click where I want to share it to nothing happens.  If you know what's wrong please let me know.

  • Bitrate Home Sharing with iOS ?

    Witch Bitrate and sampling rate are used in iTunes Home Sharing with iOS ?

    The following says iOS 4.3 or later. It also says the latest version of iTunes and that requires OS X 10.6.8 or later, but it might be worthwhile to try all of the troubleshooting steps anyway. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972

  • Legality questions about Home Sharing

    I have some legality questions about Apple's Home Sharing technology.
    As I understand it, you can share (that is, copy it from one computer to another) your music, movies, applications and other iTunes-managed files amongst five computers. The only 'trick' is that each computer must have an iTunes Store account and must be logged in in order for it to work.
    My question concerns the copying aspect and the legality of it. For content that was purchased through the iTunes Store I can see how Home Sharing can provide a limitation on content sharing, since all of the machines would need to be connected to Apple's servers in order for the validation process to happen. But what about content that was added to iTunes through other means, e.g., ripping my own CDs or converting my DVDs? These items can still be copied via Home Sharing and as there's no DRM on them there's no way they can be protected against "illegal" or "unauthorized" use.
    It was my understanding that if I gave a copy of a song to someone else, that's illegal. Apple's Home Sharing technology seems to facilitate this action. If I rip a CD or DVD into iTunes and someone copies it out, isn't that making an illegal copy? Can I be held liable for distribution of content?
    And how far does this extend? If I live in a house with four unrelated people, are they legally (?) allowed to copy music and media amongst each another? Is there a perceived or actual difference between using Home Sharing to copy a movie versus, say, using a USB flash drive? And what if one of them moves out? Am I legally obligated to go through that person's hard drive and remove content that they copied from me before they leave the building?
    Does Home Sharing somehow retroactively change the copyright application on a given CD or DVD? Most of my CDs and DVDs contain notices and warnings against distributing copies. Can these warnings now be ignored, or at least amended with "...unless you're using iTunes Home Sharing" at the ends of them?
    I am not trying to stir up a hornet's nest here. I'm only trying to better understand the legal issues surrounding Home Sharing and particularly how they relate to unprotected content. It seems very contradictory that the RIAA and MPAA would be fighting so hard against peer-to-peer services like BitTorrent and Gnutella while apparently allowing peer-to-peer services through iTunes Home Sharing.
    Furthermore, I also understand that the intention of this system was to allow families who are living together to have common access to all of the "household" music, but my issues aren't about this. I envision, for example, a college dorm building where there's several hundred people living together on the same network subnet, and all of them have Home Sharing enabled and everyone is copying thousands and thousands of songs to/from one another. Is this now legal?
    Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks.

    If I rip a CD or DVD into iTunes and someone copies it out, isn't that making an illegal copy?
    RIPping of commercial, encrypted DVDs (most of them) is illegal to begin with. Or rather, breaking the encryption on a DVD is illegal and in order to RIP the DVD, you must break the encryption. SO you have already "broken the law" by having a copy on your computer.
    Most of my CDs and DVDs contain notices and warnings against distributing copies.
    Most of your DVDs have a notice about even simply making a copy, not only distributing copies.
    Much of your post has been cussed and discussed by many, many people (lawyers, corporations, organizations, individuals, etc.) and no one has come (or likely ever will come) to a complete agreement.
    Generally, "sharing" in the same house hold amongst family members seems to be okay. Outside the same household/family is almost always not okay.
    I envision, for example, a college dorm building where there's several hundred people living together on the same network subnet, and all of them have Home Sharing enabled and everyone is copying thousands and thousands of songs to/from one another. Is this now legal?
    No.
    This is exactly what Napster was and why they were sued & shut down.
    I imagine Apple lawyers have done their homework as well as consulted with the labels to discuss these exact issues.
    And it's called "Home Sharing" to indicate that it is not "Dorm Sharing" or "Workplace Sharing", or even simply "Library Sharing"etc. even though it may be possible to use it in other places than the Home.
    Users on other computers need to know your iTunes ID and password to enable it Home Sharing. Likely this is how Apple got the lables to be okay with it.
    Are you gonna give (and get) dozens/hundreds/thousands/any other users your iTunesID & password?

  • ITunes Home Sharing with iOS 4.3

    I have a MacBook Pro, 1st and 2nd generation Apple TV, iPhone 3GS, and 3rd Generation iPod Touch (yeah, BIG fan of Apple!). When I bought the 2nd generation Apple TV I was able to setup Home Sharing on my MacBook Pro and the new Apple TV. According to Apple's website, with iOS 4.3, you can now share your entire iTunes library on any mobile device running iOS 4.3. On my iPhone 3GS, I went into settings and turned on Home Sharing. However, when I trying to get a video that is playing in iTunes on my MacBook Pro and get it to play on my iPhone 3GS, I am only seeing the option of either the computer or 2nd generation Apple TV.

    Home Sharing is not a 'push' feature it is a 'pull' feature.
    By that I mean that you cannot push content from iTunes to your mobile devices.
    What you do is pull the content from iTunes onto the mobile device.
    You are confusing AirPlay (which pushes content) with Home Sharing (which pulls content).
    On the mobile device go into the iPod App and then into the ... (more menu) at the bottom, you should see the Shared option, pick this and it will allow you to select the iTunes library. You can then stream content from it (pull).

  • Home Sharing between iOS 4.3.1 and OSX 10.4.11

    I can't get home sharing to work between my iPad1 running iOS 4.3.1 and my iMac
    running OS X 10.4.11 and using iTunes 9.2. Home sharing is set up on my iMac and I can run Remote from my iPad. I've entered my Apple ID info in the iPod portion of Settings on the
    iPad. But when I go to the iPod app on my iPad, when I tap on "Library" nothing
    happens. I don't see my iMac iTunes library come up under "Shared Libraries".
    As a matter of fact nothing at all happens or comes up when I tap on "Library".
    Does Home Sharing work with iTunes 9? Do you need iTunes 10? And can you only
    get iTunes 10 with OSX 10.5?

    Wanted to add my .02 experience.
    New iPad 2, iOs 4.3.1 (got it and did that yesterday).
    One mac running 10.6.5, iTunes 10.2.1 - home share, and iPad2 Remote - works fine.  Remote sees that home share immediately and it is working well.
    One mac running 10.5.7, iTunes 10.2.2.... Remote cannot handle it.  Not only do I not see the home share "share" on the iPad, but when I try do do the manual route of 'Add a Library', the errors are bizarre!  It starts by taking a loooong time to spin and shows simply "Looking for" as the message on the iPad.  Then it fails, and says "Not found".  That's it!  I don't think it is the router, as the 10.5 mac is on the same subnet though it is not wireless.  I checked firewall stuff - it's not on.  And since it works perfectly on the 10.6 mac, I know home sharing and the way I set things up works.
    Stumped on this.  Since I don't know if there are any logs to see on the iPad, I have no idea how to approach this one.  But it clearly does not work with 10.5, at least for me.

  • Home sharing with iOS remote app stopped working

    In my home, I have four macs (3 minis and an imac), each with their own iTunes media library, and 2 ATVs.  Home Sharing is turned on, with the same ID on all of these devices.  When I operate each device natively (using keyboard/mouse or ATV hard remote), I can see the music library on each of the other devices, and play that music.  I also have an iPhone and an iPad, with the Remote app installed, and using the same Home Sharing ID.  On each of these, I can see each of the macs and ATVs, and the music in their individual libraries, and can play that music on the device on which that library resides.  So far, so good.
    What I can't do, although I could do it several weeks ago, is use the remote app to access one device, and then play music from the shared library on another device.  I can see the other devices' libraries, but when I select "music" within that device, it says "no songs".  This is very curious, and like I said, it worked a few weeks ago.
    Has anyone seen this issue, and do you know how to fix it?
    Thanks.

    But this is where the problem starts. While I am using the remote app, I exit the app to do something else on the phone. I go back into the app, and the app attempts to connect to my iTunes library. It fails!!
    I'm having this exact same problem. I was using the remote app with iTunes on my computer and speakers connected to my airport express for months with no issues at all. It worked flawlessly. But I got the new apple tv a few days ago and had to turn on home sharing as part of the setup...and then the problems began. I started having the exact issue described by the original post: the remote app will just randomly not be able to see my iTunes library. Sometimes it works fine, sometimes it just sits there spinning for a while and eventually says it couldn't find my library. If I wait a few minutes it will eventually just start working again.
    This is extremely annoying and is making me want to just return the apple tv and go back to my previous setup which worked perfectly. If Apple would at least acknowledge the problem and that a fix will be forthcoming, I would be satisfied.

  • Home Sharing to iOS suddenly not working

    I have an iMac with a quite extensive library of both music and movies/TV Shows. I of course use Home Sharing to stream this library to my Apple TV2, first and foremost, mot also to my iPad on occasion.
    That is until a few weeks ago. Whenever I try to access my shared library from the iPad it says that the library contains no videos and suggest that I buy some from iTunes Store. I can think of no particular thing that happened before this behaviour. It just suddenly stopped working. Home Sharing to my Apple TV and Macbook is still working as it should.
    I've tried all typical solutions I can think of - disconnecting and reconnecting the Apple account on my iPad, disabling and re-enabling Home Sharing on my iMac, restarting devices, etc. I also tried restoring my iPad. I did however, not set it up as a new iPad, but restored a backup before trying to access Home Sharing again. My wireless network is distributed from a recently purchased Time Capsule.
    Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions or suggestions out there?
    Just to clarify, the iPad can see the library and apparently connects, but instead of listing any content it shows a black screen saying "No Videos".

    Same exact thing has happened to my wife's iPad. It was working perfectly for her just last night. And my iPad continues to stream videos from the iMac perfectly, right next to hers. All software is up to date, rebooted both the iMac and the iPad, with no luck. This is very strange.

  • Home Sharing Questions

    Hello,
    I have two questions regarding home sharing while I am on vacation. I understand that if I am not on the same network, I will not have access to my files on my iMac or my PC, however, I do have two questions:
    1. If my iMac and my iPad are signed into the same VPN, will home sharing work if I am on vacation? Both my iMac and my iPad will be signed on to the same server.
    2. I have Xfinity as my Internet provider, and they provide hotspots all over the country that are free for me to use. Since my iMac/PC are on thee Xfinity newtwork, if I sign into the Xfinity hotspot while, say in Maine and my equipment is in Florida, will home sharing work?
    My fear is that I must be logged into the same network ID, and they will not be available to me. However, I do have two Network ID's (one is a 2.4Ghz and the other is a 5GHz and they have different names, and Home Sharing does work if my AppleTV is on one and the iMac/PC/iPad is on the other.
    The same questions I guess will apply to my AppleTV device, however, if I can get access to my Home Sharing on my iPad, which along with my AppleTV device, I will be bringling with me, I can always change the airplay to play on the AppleTV from my iPad.
    Even though I have a WIFI Seagate drive that I use as both a backup and storage for my photos (I am a professional photojournalist) I have all my iTunes files backed up on that device (good thing because if an artist pulls their work from iTunes and you store it Apple's Cloud, it will be deleted) and had I not had a backup, all the Celtic Woman concert videos (close to $60 worth) would be gone
    Anyway. thanks for taking your time to read this and considered answering.

    PS. These questions are important for me as I plan to spend 3 months every year traveling throughout the country doing street photography and travel photography as I also shoot stock for Getty Images, so if my movies and music are especially my Home Movies (I have instructional videos and PDF files in iBooks that I may need access to) are not going to be available, I would hate to drag my desktop with me. I will take my WIFI drive and use its player to play my music, as while I can change the directories on my iMac to point to the external drive, I do not know of a way to do this on my iPad.
    If I get a travel trailer to use instead of staying in hotels, I may just bring my iMac with me. But I really would like to leave it save in my house.

    The answer to both questions is no.
    It only automatically syncs new purchases from the iTunes Store between devices, and even then only tracks purchased after the option has been turned on. It won't do a catch up sync to start with.
    Non iTunes Store purchased tracks have to be imported manually.
    You can view all the tracks that are in the source library but not in the target library.
    Then select them all and hit the import button.
    All that will do though is transfer the music, it will not move playlists, etc.

  • Home Sharing and Airplay: fall 2011 major trouble in iTunes to APTV, IOS devices - detailed run-through.

    Dear all, and dear Apple - as you know flagged trouble regarding Home Sharing to devices and to APTV has grown exponentially this fall and it is high time Apple calmly regained control over the situation. Get a grip, this is a fundamental "it just works" reputational issue.
    Having read lots of community posts I am struck by how many crosschecks I have done and still cannot get Home Sharing to ´just work´ anymore.
    Symptoms of my troubles include:
    (1) In iTunes the Home Sharing house icon is nowhere to be found on the left hand side even though I have turned it on several times.
    (2) Airplay icon was visible in the lower right corner of iTunes for about two minutes last night but then vanishes.
    (3) My iPhone4S cannot find my shared library (under "More" or anywhere else).
    (4) And APTV will occationally load my Mac library to play a purchased tv episode but is highly unstable. 1 in 4 attempts succesful.
    Ah, you say, "this all sounds like your home network is either faulty or the signal is not strong enough", or "you have not set up Home Sharing right".
    OK, let´s see... 
    The Airport Extreme station is right next to APTV, and is itself connected via ethernet to my router - and besindes my Mac can still find a strong signal via wifi. I access internet on my wifi-only iPad2 easily throughout the house, nice and strong signal. The APTV menu tells me the signal strength is excellent, and, most importantly - it worked a couple of weeks ago with no change in settings. I played my iTunes Library on my iPhone via Home Sharing, and I watched APTV TV episodes streamed from my Mac upstairs.  
    So far I have triple-checked the following settings:
    Home Sharing on my Mac turned on under Advanced? yes. (House icon appears - until I press the "Done" button, then it vanishes).
    Even though the House icon is nowhere to be found, is Home Sharing still "On" under iTunes Advanced setting? yes.
    Under Preferences, Sharing, all ticks are carefully turned on? yes.
    APTV Home Sharing: the same ID details, correctly entered?  yes. And for a little while, or on occation we have access to my library on APTV (but not the other mobile devices). Then it vanishes again (Computer menu on APTV telling me to turn on Home Sharing with ID etc.)
    Mobile devices, under Settings/Music, are the Home Sharing details the same as those on your Mac/iTunes? yes. 
    All software on APTV, iTunes, OIS and Lion up to date? yes, as of 18/12 2011. For iTunes I have 10.5.2 (11)
    I also reset Factory Settings on my APTV, which enabled us to watch a TV episode last night, but this morning it is gone again.
    Within limits of how many devices I can share my library or iTunes with ? yes, 2 computers are authorised on my ID, and 3 devices are authorised on iCloud (iPad2, iPhone 4S and this Mac).
    Have you tried the degrading, not-up-to-Apple-standard way of unplugging APTV/Airport Extreme/Mac power, and restarting your iPad/iPhone4S? Yes. 
    Does Airplay work from devices to e.g. APTV? yes it does.
    Can I access the internet or rent a movie on APTV? yes.
    Is this a strength issue with my Mac? Is my Mac fast/strong enough? Yes; it is a 3.06Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, running 8GB/1067 MHz/DDR3. 100GB of available harddrive space.
    Dear community - what have I forgotten to do, please? Any ideas?
    And Apple: please help your repeat customers with these issues - clearly there are some room for improvement here!?
    Regards and best wishes for the Season.

    I seem to have a similar problem.  I have a Macbook and a PC, both running the current version of iTunes.  On the APTV (also running the current software version), only my Macbook library shows up under "computers".  Home Sharing is turned on for both and my Macbook library shows up under "Shared" on the PC, but the PC iTunes library doesn't show up on the Macbook or the APTV.
    My question then is: How is it that my Macbook iTunes library can show up on the PC and on the APTV, but the PC iTunes library doesn't show up on either?  If the PC can see the shared libraries, doesn't that mean it's on the same network?  Along those same lines, "Shared" libraries do NOT show up on the Macbook.  Again I ask, how is it that I can see the Macbook library on the PC, but the Macbook doesn't show any Shared libraries?
    All of this worked just fine before the upgrade to iOS 5 by the way.  I had no issues seeing any library on any devices and the APTV found both computers.
    Please help.  This is really annoying!

  • Home sharing, more tab not displaying? iOS8

    Hi everyone, I am trying to share from iTunes 11 on my mac running 10.9.5 to my iPad3 running iOS8. I have turned on home sharing on Mac and Sharing was already on on my iPad. When I launch the Music app, the only buttons I have at the bottom of the app are Playlist, Artists, Songs, Albums, Genre, Compilations and composers. How do I view the more tab to then access the Mac iTunes library which is being shared.?
    Thanks

  • Will I be able to access my home sharing from my laptop if desktop is in storage for a few months ?

    My desktop will not update iTunes. Running WinXP.  Enabled home sharing and all is well on my laptop (Win7).  I'm relocating out of state. Staying with family until I get on my feet for a few months. Desktop will be in storage.  Will I still be able to  access my  purchased music on my laptop although my desktop is boxed up somewhere else? I was able to transfer CD installed music to laptop thru a flash drive.

    Hi Finewhitesugar,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. Home Sharing allows you to both stream and transfer music between computers, as noted in the article below. You should be able to play any music that you transferred from your desktop to your laptop prior to storing it, but would not be able to stream anything while the desktop is off and in storage.
