Re: Do i need to turn off home sharing before syncing to iTunes
I have set up a remote in iPhone to use with AppleTV, but when i need to sync with iTunes for any reason, will leaving the "Home sharing" active on the iPhone
be affected at all, or can it cause disruption to syncing in any way ?
it will not

I have an old computer that died, how do I turn off home sharing on that computer so that I can gain back 1 of my 5 shares for my new computer?
As far as I know you don't need to turn off home sharing as such, however you will have lost one of the 5 "authorizations". You can't release these individually unless you are running iTunes on the authorized operating system you want to deauthorize.
You will have to wait until you have 5 authorizations, at which point you can clear them all and start over, reauthorizing the machines you want to.

How do i turn off home sharing and transfer my ITunes library to another computer?
Your music will only be where you put it. You can download the itunes program and sign into your account on any computer, but your music/content will not be there unless you put it there.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod. File>Transfer Purchases -
Use 2nd gen apple tv and remote control app on iphones and ipad. We can control some functions on the apple tv but unable to purchase, access such controls as reset, restart, turn off home sharing, etc. Home sharing stuck on old apple ID. Please help.
That is why I said to restore via iTunes, did you check the link?
This will put it back to factory settings and you can set it up with the new ID once you reconnect with your HDTV. This is not done via ethernet, as per the link you need to connect to the computer via micro usb. You cannot bypass home sharing.
FYI: An Apple ID cannot be deleted so the old one would still exist (even if you no longer use the email account it is associated with). -
sharing does not show up on the side column ... tried turning off home sharing then turning it back on ... shared shows up untell i click "done " then its gone.
Yes, I have also tried and failed when setting up Home Sharing. I have followed the instruction given on the Support website, but this is all I see:
Both computers are on the same local network and both allow Home Sharing and are signed in with the same user name. I am not sure what else to do. Any suggestions? -
Cannot get home sharing to work with my new apple TV. Have the latest version of ITunes and the apple TV is connected to my wi-fi network. The instruction page says to go to the Advanced menu option of ITunes and choose Home Sharing. This option does not exist. The closest I can find is under the File option>Home Sharing where my only option is to turn off home sharing. There is no home sharing icon and Apple TV insist that the home sharing is not turned on.

Can I turn off home sharing for other computers from my own?
I recently got a new computer and would like to add my music library to it. When I try to enable home sharing a message pops up stating that I already have 5 computers on my home sharing network. I don't have all of the 5 computers because some have broken and so my question is that, is there any way for me to turn off home sharing for those computers from my own?
No such thing is possible via iTunes.
What is possible is deathorizing all computers and then authorize only the one's that you have access to.

How do your turn off home sharing on a ipod
I have to iPods and I would like to turn off home sharing off how can I turn it off
Welcome to the Apple Community.It isn't home sharing that matters here. I suspect you are wanting to either de authorise a computer or remove a associated device from your ID, you can do both of these in your iTunes account settings on a computer.

What can I do when I cannot turn off home sharing to other devices?
I just bought an iMac (my first) and when I tried to turn on home sharing, it told me that I would need to deactivate home sharing on another device. My other devices (an ex-boyfriend's computer, a crashed/dead HD laptop, a crashed/dead Dell desktop...) cannot be reached to turn off...what to do??? Many thanks for your help!
Go to Settings>General>Usage. How much space does it show you have?
If you connect your phone to your computer, what does iTunes say is on your phone? Do you see a large amount of "Other"? If so, you may have a corrupted database. You'll need to sync your phone then restore it as NEW (not from back up) then re-sync your data). -
What a ding dong, I put my entire question in the subject line. First time user, sorry. My husband purchased desk top Mac, and without importing anything via USB cord, it automatically is picking up my itunes library. He closed out, and signed in with his user id and password, and it still will only pick up mine. Someone told me it is because I have turned on "share wifi" in my itunes account, and need to turn that off first, but cannot figure out how to do it. Any suggestions?
You either have an incredibly complex computer setup or I think you are confusing terminology here. If you have iTunes set to share your library with others in your iTunes preferences then other computers in the area will see it as an item when they are running their iTunes and have it set to check for shared libraries. Your husband is probably seeing this when running iTunes on his computer. You can disable this sharing on your computer and/or he can set his not to pick up shared libraries.
By the way, an iTunes account is something you log into when you want to buy something from Apple. On your computer it is simply your iTunes collection or your iTunes application. So you need to turn off sharing in your iTunes application preferences.
Your husband is seeing "his" iTunes collection when running iTunes, but it is possible he doesn't have anything in it if it is a brand new computer. -
Do I need to turn off File Vault before I erase a hard drive?
I have a File Vault 2 password set up on my Mac, in addition to a firmware password. I'm selling the computer, and I want to make sure everything is wiped out.
I know how to turn off the firmware password. However, I was wondering if I need to turn off file vault 2 before I start up the OS in recovery mode, at which point I will erase the hard drive using the 7-pass delete option in disk utility. Or do I not have to worry about that, and go ahead and boot up on the internal system HD in recovery mode to delete the HD entirely, without turning off File Vault first?
Thanks for the help,
EricBoot from the installation disc that came with the computer and repartition the internal drive with the default options. Then install the original OS.

How do I turn off Home Sharing / Switch Back to Local Library?
Last night I turned ON Home Sharing on my iPhone and switched (in the Music/iPod app) my library on the phone to use the Shared Library on my iMac. It works great and I have no issues, except...
Now, that I am away from home (and my network), I am unable to access any of the locally stored content on my iPhone and I can't figure out a way to change the library back to the local (iPhone) media library as the "Shared" button doesn't appear while I am not connected.
Am I stuck in the Shared Library until I get home and connect to my home share or is there a way to make the switch back to local storage while not connected?I found a similar thread and it has answered my question.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16668040#16668040
Restarting the phone will reset it back to the local library. It works, but as the other thread points out it seems a little silly that you can't do it without a restart. -

I've turned off both home sharing and turned off the link from my computer to my remote via AppleTV but when I hit play on my remote to control appleTV, my itunes always opens and starts playing on my Macbook Pro. Has this happened to ahyone else? I cannot get it to stop. The only solution right now is to completely turn off my computer if I want to use appleTV.
Thanksdefault then remotes control all devices unless you bind it to a device you do that in settings
and home sharing don't have any impact on remotes -
I just installed Apple TV. Works fine but turrns itself off at regular intervals of about 30 minutes. This requires me to re-enter my Apple ID and re-start all over again. Wjen I check iTunes on my computer, home sharing is still turned on. THis leads me to think the problem is in how I configured Apple TV on my HDTV. Any advice on where I should look?
THanks in advance.I have had no luck. After an hour with phone tech support I have re-installed the current Apple TV software update., re-booted the entire system three times., checked each of my two Airport Express's.,unplugged and re[plugged in every cable, ad infinitum, ad nauseum and still no luck. I have also decided iTunes 11 *****. Not near as intuitive especially with regard to moving stuff around between my playlists, etc.
Alright guys, is this a problem because of iTunes 11? Is Apple releasing stuff before adequate debugging? Did Steve take his high standards with him?
