So, Home Sharing doesn't work with WiFi?

I was previously able to stream content from my Mac (via ethernet) to Apple TV. I've since started using Airport Extreme as a hub - everything reaches the internet but now no Mirroring, iTunes sharing or file sharing.

Answer: Apple TV was on my guest network. Switched to main network, problem solved.

  • Home Sharing doesn't work with Vista?

    I'm having trouble trying to set up the new Home Sharing feature between my two computers.
    Computer #1 uses Vista x64 OS while Computer #2 uses XP OS (Yes, they're wired on the same network). Both have iTunes 9.0.1.8 software installed and are authorized computers under a single account. My XP comp can see my Vista Library just fine while my Vista x64 comp gives me an error:
    "The shared library [insert name here] is not responding. (-3259) Check that any firewall software running on either the shared computer or this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689."
    Multiple web sources suggested opening this port as well as Port 5353 and adding iTunesHelper.exe and iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe to my "Exceptions" list in my personal/virus scan firewalls. I've done this to both comps and my router with no result. I've checked the box under Preferences > Share my library on my local network and there is still no change. Googling this error has led me to believe the problem lies within the iTunes software.
    If anyone has any ideas or information on this problem, I'd appreciate the help. Thank you.

    I've restarted everything and deauthorized and rechecked sign in name and reset the iTV and so forth.  iTV will not see the shared computer, although the iPad and iPhone do.  I've wasted too much time on this.  It occured after the recent update. Wonder when Apple will acknowledge and fix.

  • Home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update.

    home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update. Does anyone else have the same issue. Updated all computers in my home, deauthorized and reauthorized each computer. turn off home sharing and turned it back on. don't know what else to do..please help...

    Our Apple TVs continue to lose connection ever since installing Mountain Lion on the host computer. The only thing that fixes them is to quit and relaunch iTunes, which only works unti the ATV goes to sleep. If a movie is paused for more than a few minutes and the ATV goes to sleep, pressing play again on the remote is greeted with "There are no movies on this computer" or "Turn on Home Sharing."
    If we stop a video on one ATV and attempt to resume it in another room, the error begins again. The other ATV can't connect until iTunes is relaunched.
    My guess is that it has something to do with the new [annoying] security settings. But I still haven't found a fix other than restarting iTunes everytime we want to watch something from our downloads. Fail.

  • After the update the home sharing doesn't work anymore

    Last night I had an update from my Apple TV. After I updated it, the home sharing doesn't work anymore on any device. Not on my iPhone, iTunes, iPad, nothing. I double checked every setting and this isn't the problem. I have the newest version of iTunes. Please help!

  • After installing Itunes 10.1.2.17, homes sharing doesn't work no more!

    After i installed itunes 10.1.2.17, home sharing isn't working anymore. I checked to make sure it is turned on & the bonjour is enabled. What happened? It was working before with the previous version.

    I see exactly the same symptoms; previously Home Sharing worked fine. After installing 10.1.2.17 on the PC that contains the main library, the library appears on my other XP and Windows 7 laptops, but on clicking on the library focus returns to the Music folder after several seconds.
    I have a Dell Dimension 2400 running Windows XP Home Edition 5.1 build 2600. It is connected to a Linksys router by cable. The laptops are connected using WiFi. Nothing else has changed in the setup apart from the iTunes upgrade.
    Any ideas?

  • Home sharing does not work with iTunes 12

    I have been using home sharing with iTunes a lot, mainly to stream TV shows from my Mac Pro (2008) to my Apple TV (3rd Gen). But after installing Yosemite and iTunes 12 it doesn't work any longer. My Apple TV finds the iTunes Library, but can't connect with it. At the same time home sharing worked just fine with my iPhone 5 and iPad 2 (iOS 8.0.2). After installing iOS 8.1 home sharing with my iOS devices doesn't work, too – same problem as with Apple TV: iTunes library is found but devices can't connect with it.
    I already tried to solve the problem with the suggestions on Apples troubleshooting page:  Fehlerbehebungsmaßnahmen für die Privatfreigabe
    My setup:
    Mac Pro (2008) with OS X 10.10 (14A389), iTunes 12.0.1.26, connected via Ethernet and WiFi
    Router: Fritz!Box Fon WLAN 7270
    iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1
    iPad 2 with 8.1
    Apple TV (3rd Gen), newest software update, connected via Ethernet
    Any ideas, what the reason for that problem could be and how to solve it?
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    BTW: Sorry for my English. I am not a native speaker.
    Greetings from Germany

    I had the same problem after updating to iTunes 12 and using my iPhone 6.
    I have solved it by doing these simple steps:
    1. Turn off Home Sharing in iTunes. Close it.
    2. In your iOS 8 device, Turn on Home Sharing: Settings/Music/Home Sharing
    3. Open back iTunes
    It looks like in one of the updates, possibly iOS 8.1, had signed off Home Sharing completely.

  • Home Sharing doesn't work on my iMac (2013)

    Hi,
    I have an iMac 2013, all my music and movies are on it.
    Home Sharing is enabled.
    I have the iMac, an iPhone, an iPad and an Apple TV all on the same network, sponsored by a Time Capsule.
    None of the 3 devices can connect to the iMac library. The Apple TV doesn't see it. When I add the library in the Remote app of the iPhone and iPad, I have to enter the code in iTunes but then after the app is "looking for the library" without finding it.
    The main reason was for me to load my movies from the Apple TV in my living room, but it doesn't work as it can see the Home Sharing. I can though AirPlay the iMac on the Apple TV (so definitely on the same network).
    Any idea? I've done the whole bunch of crap from Apple, nothing works. Rebooted like 20 times each.

    I brought my macbook air at home, everything worked perfectly: iPhone, iPad and Apple TV can connect. So basically I guessed that the issue was coming from the iMac, something preventing it to be discovered. I've checked the bonjour broadcasting and oh, surprise, the iMac wasn't broadcasting... Weird because it's a setup from a Time Machine, the environment I am running currently on the macbook air.
    Anyway, if this can help someone else:
    I've ran:
    ps aux | grep mDNS
    and saw that for the iMac the daemon was launched with the argument -NoMulticastAdvertisements.
    I've setup the daemon to run back as normal and restarted the computer:
    sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder ProgramArguments -array /usr/sbin/mDNSResponder -launchd
    After the reboot, everything works flawlessly (it has never worked before for the 6 months I had the Apple TV).
    Also interesting discovery and I think it's new because I don't remember being able to do that before, but some of my devices are on the separate 5Ghz network, some are on the 2.4Ghz and they can still all communicate flawlessly. I can use AirPlay on the Export Express that is on the 2.4 from the iMac that is on the 5Ghz, and I can access the iMac library from whatever band. Pretty nice!

  • ITunes 9.2.1.5 for Windows: Sharing / Home Sharing doesn't work

    I have a windows XP laptop and sometime within the last two months (after upgrading to 9.x??) sharing and home sharing stopped working.
    I have read the troubleshooting post, and everything is configured correctly. It doesn't work at home OR at work (although MAC users at work are having no problems).
    Can anyone confirm that this is a BUG in 9.2? Does anyone have any fixes? As I said, my ports are open. Of note: my iPhone remote app works on my home network with our Mac, but not the PC, indicating that the problem isn't the router. I did delete exceptions for iTunes, Bonjour, and ports 3689 TCP, 5353 UDP (which, curiously, allowed my remote to work with my PC itunes, but the remote does NOT show up in the sidebar.
    I think this is a bug, beyond the software firewall issues.
    Any help anyone can give me will be met with plaudits and wreaths of laurels.
    Thanks

  • ITunes Home Sharing doesn't work. Why?

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to get someone else's library with Home Sharing, but it doesn't seem to work.
    In iTunes, it shows the library on the left, but when I try to click on it iTunes asks for a password. The password doesn't seem to work, even though it does for exactly the same thing on another Mac.
    All of these Macs are on the same network, and both Macs have been restarted, and both have iTunes 10.
    Any idea why it doesn't work and how I could make it work?

    Thanks! I didn't realise there was a specific forum for Home Sharing... found it now and will repost there.

  • Home sharing does not work with apple tv

    Can anyone help me.  I used to be able to stream all content from my home master computer to my Apply TV.  Now it suddenly does not work.
    Apple TV itself works just fine.  I can also airplay using it with out IPADs.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes.  Reset the modem/router.  Reset Appletv.  Tried with Norton disabled.  etc.
    Nothing seems to work. 
    I keep getting the 'Turn on your home sharing in Itunes' message.   But it is on.
    Help is appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Sometimes just disabling Norton isn't enough, you may need to hunt down every last file it has written to your computer then re-install iTunes. I understand Norton can be quite a nasty little intrusion.
    I know very little about PC's or security software as I have neither, but the following article might help you.

  • Home Sharing will not work with my Windows 8 64bit with new itunes.  All of my Apple TVs will not see my library and my iphones will not function with the "Remote" App.  They all did before.  Only thing that has changed is new PC/itunes.  Any Ideas?

    Installed a new Windows PC on my home network.  PC is Windows 8/64bit. with latest version of itunes 11.1.4.62 for 64bit.  My itunes works, but I can not get Home Sharing to function now.  None of my Apple TV's can see my computer library and prompt me to turn it on.  All of my iphones, pods, pad, can not use the "Remote" app.  When you prompt your phone in Remote App to "add library" and you get the code....iTunes doesnt give you the remote screen where you can enter the code.  I have reloaded iTunes, reset my router, updated all devices.  You can turn on "Home Sharing" on iTunes, but then it closes and doesnt seem to link my devices like it use to.  Also, when the new version of iTunes is up on my PC, you can see the other devices to AirPlay to like you could before.  However, I can send items from my iphone to stream to an Apple TV, I just cant link them all like I could before and control the music playing to multiple Apple TV.  Growing fustrated.  Any ideas, would be helpful.

    You are a legend!!  I have spent countless hours uninstalling, reinstalling itunes, playing with firewall settings, reading articles on this problem!!  I only have to un-sync my iphone 5 and then the airplay icon magically appeared!!!  Maybe I have too many devices syncing via wi-fi, or maybe it is the Iphone syncing??
    Whatever - one step and now I can enjoy my music through my house again!
