Simply cannot get homesharing in iTunes to work. Please Help!

I have a brand new Mac running Lion. I connect the Mac wirelessly to Airport Extreme that is connected with a ethernet cable to my ISP modem. I can access the internet this way.
I also have an ipad that is using the internet connection and i can access pictures & documents on my Mac using my iPad.
I also have an iPhone with the Apple Remote app and can control iTunes from the app
I however simply cannot get Home Sharing to work.

Have you enabled Home Sharing on your iPhone, go to settings/iPod and under Home Sharing enter same apple id and password that you've setup on your mac. Now when you tap on your iPod app select More and you should see the Home Sharing icon appear, I would recommend that you have your mac on with iTunes running to test this because there seems to be a bug where you can't wake your mac from sleep via the iPod app from your iPhone when your mac is sleeping after a set period, which is the problem I'm having at the moment.
Hope this helps.

  • Data DVD from iTunes not working - please help

    I burned a 4 GB playlist as a data DVD from iTunes 7.
    I am trying to put the files on a PC running iTunes 7, and NOTHING is happening. The drive in the PC is DVD-rom and all other DVD's work fine.
    What's the deal?

    What is "Adding to library"?
    Huh?
    This is how you get songs into iTunes.
    Open iTunes.
    Inset the DVD.
    Go to File -> Add File (or folder) to iTunes and select the files/folders on the DVD.
    The DVD is not going to show up in iTunes because it is not an audio CD. It is a data DVD.
    Do not try to Import the DVD because Import is used for audio CDs only.

  • Cannot get my WRT54GS setup...please help!!!

    I cannot seem to get this wireless router setup.  Here are some of the problems I am experiencing:
    I keep getting a message saying, "Error not message receiver"
    WLAN light is not lit
    At the end when it asks me to save my settings, It says something about unable to connect to the router
    I am lost here... anyone able to help would be greatly appreciated

    Let me be a little more specific... The router is connected to my dad's compaq presario pc and the internet works fine on that.  I am trying to get my notebook to be able to connect to the internet with my wireless NIC.  I know that the NIC is not the problem here because before we had DSL, I had the router plugged in, without anything hooked to it, and my notebook could connect to the router then.  Now that I have the DSL, the notebook says "No Wireless Networks Found in Range"
    I tried to connect to the router on the pc that is directly connected to it by typing 192.168.1.1 in IE, but does not work.  I did an ipconfig and the default gateway is 192.168.254.254, and that does work... not sure how that got changed.  I doubt that has anything to do with the problem, but I figured I'd tell you guys that anyways.
    So if anyone has any advice please let me know.  Thanks!

    All the video is properly formatted.
    You can see each webpage by these two links.

    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    You're not doing what I told you to do in the last topic regarding this subject. I said to use a server side script to determine if iPhone then h.264 else .flv video. Also I told you that iPhone will not display the QTVR tours. Anyway, regarding your current setup: you already know why the 360 tour doesn't display on the iPhone. There's not a video file located at the referenced URL. http://www.ftworthfoundation.com/excel_Construction_Commercial.m4v
    I haven't looked much at the code other than checking the referenced files since it wasn't my previous recommendation. Perhaps if you fixed the referenced file it may work. Worth a try.
    Also... you have bad code on your site (for lack of a better term). Mixed cases in tags, etc. Check your HTML at http://validator.w3.org and fix any validation errors that you may have and I recommend maintaining lowercase in your html. For example: instead of <a hREF=" use <a href="

  • Itunes wont work please help me

    My itunes wont update because of the quicktime how can i fix it???

    Usually when this happens either quicktime is not installed properly OR you have the Qoologic adware on the PC.
    So first we will scan the system for adware. A good program for catching the Qoologic adware (Which affects iTUnes) is Ewido. You can download and install it here http://www.ewido.com Just scan the system and if it finds adware, have it remove it.

    You are on pc or mac?  I think pc.   Below is a link that gives the steps, and it suggests you need to down load a controller, and then it tells you how to set it up.  See if this helps any.

  • I cannot get into my iTunes program.

    When I try to go into iTunes on my Mac, it comes up with a window that says "The iTunes Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have written permission for this file.  When I click ok it disappears and I cannot get into my iTunes program.
    I tried click on the iTunes icon and going to info and changing permissions - but it still does not work.

    Information about contacts is contained in the backup of your phone, however, once you connect the new phone and restore the backup, you will still need to sync other data. Your contacts need to be in a supported application, such as Outlook 2003 or 2007 for Windows, Address Book for the Mac. If you go to sync that information however, you need to ensure you have a unique contact and unique calendar appointment to be prompted to merge.
    As far as photos are concerned, if you are talking about your photo album, that is contained in whatever folder you want on the computer and that has to be synced to the phone. Photos in your camera roll have to be imported to the computer and saved before you can get them back, however if you use the backup from your old phone, it should bring them over, but I would feel more comfortable if they had been imported to the computer in case something goes wrong.

  • Cannot get exchange mail account to work

    I am a very persistent person. I don't give up easily. But I just can't get my exchange account to work on iphone. After trying way too many times, I've tried to get it set it up on the Apple Mail program so that I can then sync the mail account to the iphone through itunes. I've only been able to get the incoming mail working on Mail. I've tried so many different permutations and combinations, but I cannot get the outgoing mail to work.
    I know that imap is set up. And I can access my mail account through Entourage... perfectly.
    Why can't I get it to work on Mail???? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated? Any settings to check on the exchange server so that I can get it to set up properly. Please. I am about at my wit's end. And I won't give up!!!!
    Thank you!

    JeremyLogan,
    Here are some settings that you need to make sure are enabled on your Exchange server:
