Syncing I Touch and Using the Home Sharing

I have 2 questions.
Yesterday I tried to sync my iTouch with my computer upstairs, but somehow it gave me a 'USB not connected.' (Of course, it was the first time, after a great while, to sync my itouch after I've download so much stuff to the iTouch.) When it gave me the message bubble, I rebooted my computer and see if it worked...I rebooted the computer and it did! But then as I ejected the Itouch from the Itunes store, all of my apps disappeared as well as my songs.
Here are my two questions need to be answered:
1st question: Is there a way to get the apps and songs back to my Itouch (without paying download fee, again)?
And my 2nd question: Is there anyway I can get those songs and apps from that computer upstairs down to another computer in the house by applying Home Sharing? And if the computer keeps getting glitches every-so-often, is there a way to prevent that from coming back?

Your homesharing ID and your iTunes account ID are not the same thing (although it's possible to set them the same). You need to use the same info that you entered into iTunes/advanced/homesharing

  • We have one computer with two users how do we use the home sharing icon if it disappears and we can't have itunes on both at the same time

    With Firefox 23 and TabMixPlus 0.4.1.0 installed, an additional box is added to the Tabs options panel that allows 3 options for the tab bar:
    *One is to '''Always''' hide the tab bar. I do not know whether future versions of TabMixPlus will remove that option. I have tested in Firefox 23 and it is possible to completely hide the tab bar regardless of the number of tabs open.
    Other options added in the additional box with TabMixPlus 0.4.1.0 are:
    *Never
    *When I have only one tab

  • I am trying to use the Home Sharing feature but none of my current library is showing up under my Share Library ?

    I recently purchased a new lap top and thought the easiest way to move my library before wiping my old lap top would be the Home Sharing feature.   I have gotten everthing set up for Home Sharing but the library on my current laptop isn't showing under the shared library?  I am using the same account log in that I have always used and the Home Shared library isn't even seeing purchases under my account?  How do I get the Home Shared library to see all my music?

    What operating systems are you running?

  • HT4527 Using the Home Sharing method to move iTunes

    Do both computers need to be connected to the internet at the same time for the Home Sharing transfer method to work or just at the time Home Sharing is activated on the individual computers.  I do not have wifi and only one line to access the internet.

    Neither computer needs to be connected to the internet.
    They do need to be on the same local network

  • I wondered if i can sync my iphone to my laptop which is using the home sharing for music????

    Does anyone know if i sync my iphone to my laptop, instead of my pc, which currently only has content in itunes due to home sharing will it remain on the iphone aweay from home????

    You can't sync music to your phone which isn't in your iTunes library.  As you are only streaming the music to your laptop via Home Sharing, you wouldn't be able to sync it to your phone from the iTunes library on your laptop.  You can, however, copy the music from the iTunes library on the host computer to the iTunes library on your laptop using Home Sharing and then sync the music to your phone.  Caution: the iPhone is only designed to sync to a single computer/iTunes library.  If you have been syncing with your pc and not your laptop you would be strongly advised not to sync with your laptop or you will create all kinds of problems.

  • Can i airplay to apple tv from a usb hard drive attached to the router using the Home sharing feature

    I want to get a Router with a USB port for Home Sharing my library of Music and Movies off a 3TB external HD to my iMac, Apple TV, and iPad so that I don't have to leave my iMac on all the time, but more importantly, I have almost filled the 1TB of memory on the iMac so I need more space.  I like my setup using the iPad as a remote to stream movies from the iMac to my AppleTV but I need more space.  Thanks.

    The iPod and/or MacBook communicate with the Apple TV via WiFi, so there has to be a WiFi network of some sort, even if just an "ad hoc" one set up using a laptop or desktop computer as an access point. If you don't think there will be a WiFi network available, I'd suggest leaving out the Apple TV and just connecting the MacBook or iPod directly to the TV to do your presentation. A MacBook can connect to just about any video input with the appropriate adapter, and the iPod touch can connect via composite or component inputs, or HDMI if it's a fourth-generation iPod touch.

  • TS2972 My new computer will only copy half the songs from the old one when I used the home sharing.

    The message that came up at the end was there are 6 problems. Can anyone help me?

    Hello sherron13
    Check out the first article to check out issues with your Home Sharing connection. If that does not work, then try to copy the songs using a different method from the second article.

  • HT5624 Trying to use the home sharing from my old computer which was lost have already reset my password is their anyway to access my old music?

    I had lost my old computer upon renewing my itunes on my new pc I had to reset my password because I forgot my old one now trying to access home sharing so I can access my old music it wants my old password is there anything I can do or is that music lost?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to do. If you are trying to import content over homesharing from a computer you no longer have, you are out of luck. If you are just trying to redownload purchased content, you don't need homesharing.

  • Downloaded iTunes 9...but the Home Sharing "drag and drop" doesnt work

    I just downloaded iTunes 9 to my ASUS laptop and..well im trying to transfer some of my other library to this computer using the home sharing..but the simple "drag and drop" to add from the shared library to yours doesn't work at all. I tired re-installing iTUnes but it still doesnt work. Help!

    Okay, FWIW I just solved this on my machines...was tearing my hair out too!
    Drag/drop and settings/import buttons are enabled only when the shared library is a yellow icon, and not a blue icon. So, what's the difference?
    A blue icon indicates just plain vanilla sharing--no drag/drop or import is allowed. This type of sharing is enabled by turning on "Look for shared libraries" and "Share my library on my local network" in preferences on both machines.
    I did this and signed in under the same account on both machines but still only got the blue icon and couldn't drag/drop or import. Then I discovered it (and felt pretty dumb that I missed it).
    Make sure you go to the Advanced menu option and select "Turn On Home Sharing", and sign-in. Once you do this, you should get the yellow sharing icon and things will work smoothly.
    Again, just turning on sharing in preferences and signing-in (under the Store menu option) will not do the trick. You need to enable home sharing through the Advanced menu option.
    Hope that helps!

  • Restart ther counter of the home sharing in iTunes

    Few days ago I was trying to connect the Remote aspplication in my iPhone to muy iTunes Library and I get a meesage about the time sharing counter has ended. How can I restart the counter of home sharing?.
    I think this happens because I had to reinstall my Operative System in my computer and reinitialize my iPhone several times. Today I have "all Apple", one Airport Extreme, one Airport Express, one Time Capsule and Apple TV, using my iPhone as remote control !!
    I need to use the home sharing in iTunes in order to connect the Remote program in my iPhone and the Apple TV to share the content of my Windows PC.
    Thanks if anyone have any information about that.

    The screen is black . i can.t get it to  respond.Power + home soft reset didnt work. Itunes could detect any sync  apps. I used my home phone to call my iphone and on my home phone i can  hear the calling tone.But my iphone didn't ring/screen did not light  up. Its a iphone 4. Any ideas how to fix this?

    If the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation
