Setting up home sharing on 4S not working
I entered my username and password and the first time I did it, I entered the wrong password and now there does not seem to be a way to submit my username and password. I tried rebooting it, though there is not a submit button after typing in both fields. How do you activate home sharing afer typing in both your username and password?
Thanks.
I don't see why the songs would even show up if it was an issue with the devices being able to communicate.
Have you tried playing any songs at all on the iPad - just play something - anything at all - on the iPad itself - not from the shared library.
Or have you tired quitting the music app completely and then try again. Double tap the home button to get to the music app icon - tap and hold down until it wiggles - tap the minus sign .... I'm sure you know the drill.
Does the school have something set up security wise that would prevent the songs from playing? Of course, that sort of goes back to the songs are seen so it does appear that the devices see each other.
Does the Mac see the shared library on the iPad? I can't remember if it is supposed to work both ways. You can click on home sharing in iTunes on the Mac and see.

Windows 7 iTunes Home Sharing or AirPlay not working? - Checkpoint
Wanted to share this for anyone else who ends up searching, as it took me a couple days to track it down. Both Home Sharing and AirPlay stopped working when I upgraded iTunes to 10.2.2, they were both working with 10.1.x. I tried a number of things, including downgrading, factory reset on my router, etc. and finally tracked it down to my Checkpoint VPN. Don't know why the problem didn't exist while I was on 10.1, but regardless removing Checkpoint fixed my issue. Note that I didn't need to be connected to anything via Checkpoint, just having it installed was enough.
I tried re-installing again and did a restart and it seems to be working again.

Apple TV - iTunes Home Sharing - Mac mini - Not Working!!!
Hi everyone, I am in urgent need of help here!
I use the latest Mac mini to hold my iTunes Library to stream it over to my Apple TV with Home Sharing; however, there is a problem - it doesn't work anymore!
If I use my iMac or MacBook Pro, the Home Sharing works great to the Apple TV, without a single problem. For the past week and a half now though, my Mac mini just doesn't want to stream anything over, despite still appearing under the "Computers" column on the home screen of the Apple TV interface.
When I select my Mac mini, I get this seemingly endless loading screen:
http://goo.gl/s0Qg1
When that loading screen does end though, I get this:
http://goo.gl/xj3eY
It says "Could not connect to the Mac mini Library - Make sure your computer has iTunes open, and that it's on the same network as Apple TV."
I always verify that my iTunes is open on the Mac mini and that both the Mac mini and Apple TV are on the same network, and still nothing works.
Is there just some kind of issue with streaming the iTunes Library to the Apple TV via Home Sharing that I'm missing? There shouldn't be, but it's a very consistant problem that has come and gone away at random times, but now it seems to be a permanent and upsetting problem.
If anyone can help me on this matter, please send your helpful words because I would like to fix this problem and not deem my Mac mini as a waste of money. I actually bought the Mac mini for the purpose of streaming my iTunes Library, rather than to bog down my iMac with lag and memory being chewed up, because I need it being fast for my work.
Thank you!I've got the same problem. Bought a second Apple TV2 a couple of weeks ago and set it up to work with both my iMac and MBP - no problems. Both Apple TV's worked perfectly from both computers until... after a long night at work, the newest one decided to display a message telling me an update was available. Yes, you guessed it! I updated!
Now, although this new Apple Tv displays the libraries from both machines, I get the messages in the original post when I try to access my iMac account - no problem though with my MBP account. Both machines have the up-to-date versions of iTunes. Thank goodness I did not update the older Apple TV2 box!
I echo the sentiments of all the other posts - it is about time Apple pulled their finger out and sorted this mess.
I wonder how many other people have the same problem? -
I tried setting up my home sharing on itunes but after doing so on both computers with same id and password, it still does not show the same material as in movies on both imacs, what am I doing wrong or how do I fix.
Look in Home Video or change the tags in iTunes to Movies.

Home sharing for iTunes not working between my Windows 7 and Windows Vista?
I have a HP laptop with Windows 7 on it. The laptop has the latest edition of iTunes. My desktop computer has Windows Vista and iTunes 9. When I turn on home sharing, the library on my Windows 7 appears under 'Shared' on my vista. However, the library from my vista will NOT appear on my laptop.
I have turned the home sharing option on and off multiple times on both computers. I've also edited the preferences for the 'Sharing' option to make sure that both libraries can be seen and shared. Yet it still isn't working. I have even tried restarting my wireless router and it STILL is not working.
Is anyone else having a similar problem or know how to help?In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you also worked through the following document, Dea?

Shared tab in left menu column does not show on one of the computers after setting up Home Sharing
For iTunes 10.3, I have set up home sharing on two computers that run windows 7, I have authorized both computers. The iTunes Shared link for computer 2 shows up on left column for computer 1(main iTunes computer). The problem I am having is that the Shared link for computer 1 DOES NOT show up on computer 2. My network between the both computers is working because I am able to pull/copy music files from computer 1 to computer 2. Why doesn't the Shared link for Computer 1 show up on Computer 2 Itunes left column? Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you.
Nothing had changed when I plugged in my iPod at work today, having changed it to manage manually earlier at home. But after rebooting a few minutes ago, iTunes cranked up and updated the library. The library now appears below DEVICES/iPod on the menu instead of under LIBRARY/Music at the top left, which I'm pretty sure is different from before, but no matter. Also the iPod is still not appearing in My Computer but again, no matter. I am able to play my tunes on the work install of iTunes now and use iDump (which is a helluva lot less trouble than iTunes) to extract them.
Thanks again for all the help.

I have done everything it says to do however nothing is showing up on my laptop. It says Miss Kidds library which is the name of my user on the PC so I know it has recognised it. On my PC it doesnt have anything in the owners library under the shared box, not sure if this has anything to do with it? I have tried copying and pasting from my library to it and nothing has worked.

I set up Home Sharing on both my iMac and iPhone. When I launched the phone app and selected my iTunes library, the music played on iMac but not on the iPhone. That was the whole purpose of turning on Home Sharing. What am I missing?
Anyone? This is really irritating me because it's so simple and worked just fine, but now it just won't work and I need it.

I have a new IPAD and just bought APple TV. Need to set up home sharing on my account and have followed Support options wherein you log into ITunes, choose advanced, then allow Home sharing. There is no place to even sign in to ITunes as i have always seen before. Cannot start ITunes on Laptop (linked to IPAD) at all but can from Browser. Trying to share content from my IPAD and APple TV.
I had no problem doing so on my home PC and APple TV but not IPAD?BStroke wrote:

WHat happens?
Have your tried removing and reinstalling iTunes?

What does "can from browser" mean?
Trying to share content from my IPAD and APple TV.
You don't share content from AppleTV (as it contains no content) and you can AirpPlay from iPad to AppleTV, not share content.
To turn on Home Sharing on the iPad, Settings > Store.

When I set up Home Sharing on my itunes account it still doesn't show up when I open itunes even though network and internet is fine
You can only share from a computer to another computer or device, so your iPad won't appear on your computer's iTunes but your computer's iTunes library should show under the More button in the iPad's Music app (assuming that home sharing is 'on' on both, iTunes is open on your computer and they are connected to the same wifi network). Is that not happening ?

After upgrading to new itunes application I attempted to set-up home sharing between my macpro lap top and my imac. Used same apple id on both machines.
When I turn on home sharing the icon shows up in menu. When I hit "done" icon disappears and there is no way to use home sharing. At no time did I have access to the itunes library in the other machine.Hiya!
Well first off... I'm baffled that you succeeded in setting up personal email without a data plan.
You need a data plan to access the BIS network which allows you web browsing (off wifi), email, BBM and the like.

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,
RichardHome 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.
