Trouble with Home Share

I'm having trouble accessing my itunes Library from my AppleTV using home sharing.  The appleTV can see my computer, and even updates when I change the Library name, but gives me an error message when I try to access the library.  Any thoughts?

Hi,
I am having the same issue as joefromCSH.
I have ensured I have the software up to date on all machines, re-installed iTunes, restored the iTV2, turned off sharing on all machines and re-activated and all to no avail!
I can, for example play a movie (or music) on my iMac's iTunes and select to play it on the iTV2 - this works fine. But when I select my library on the iTV2 I get the error messsage and nothing else.
The turning sharing on/off thing doesn't change the issue.
Other internet features of the Apple TV2 work fine.
Help!

  • Trouble with home share audio using ATV2 and Yamaha RX-V475 AV receiver

    When I home share play a movie the audio isn't available.  To get the audio I must hold down the ATV2 remote and change the speaker setting to the AV receiver.  This has the effect of putting the receiver into Airplay input mode and I loose the video.  If I reselect the correct input (HDMI channel) on the receiver for the ATV2 connection I get the audio back with the video.  Any ideas?

    You're going to have to free up that optical input.

  • Trouble with home sharing after apple tv update

    trouble with my home sharing after apple tv up date

    Same here. iPhone, Mac Mini and Apple TV3 are all up to date. Logged in and out on each device and home sharing and airplay still don't work at all. Nothing shows up in the remote app. They're all on the same network and have been. The only thing I can think of is the most recent ATV firmware update, but why would my phone be unable to see my computer??
    Any secret commands to try?

  • Moving files with home share?

    Sorry for the silly question.
    I have never used the home share.
    On my mac mini is a drobo with the main library on.
    Back on my imac I have just imported a CD.
    I can see the minis home share so select it and my music from the drobo appears, but I was under the impression I would be allowed to copy over the cd I imported on the iMac?
    there does not appear to be a way to do that?
    Cheers

    hi Gary,
    sorry if i ask the obvious but is iTunes on both machines authorized to the same iTunes account ?
    these reads may be helpful: one and two.
    happy computing ...

  • Why can't I import with home share?

    I have followed the directions for home share.  I can see the shared categories under homeshare on my new PC, but when I try to import the import button is like a like gray color and it won't let me import the music.  I can play music but the old PC has to be on with the home share up and running.  I am trying to get all of my itunes music to my new PC.  Thank you for any help.  Oh the new PC has Windows 8.

    Since you have a miniDV camcorder, you will have to import your video into your Macbook Pro via a FireWire cable, but not just any FireWire Cable... You need a FIREWIRE 800 (9-pin) to FIREWIRE 400 (4-pin), like the one in the picture...
    You can buy this cable online at any major tech retailer, such as Amazon, Newegg, Buy.com, etc.
    After you connect your camcorder to your Macbook Pro with this cable, iMovie or whichever video editing software you are using, will automatically know that your camcorder is connected and will allow you the option to transer video from your connected device.
    Importing from a FireWire tape-based Camera
    Connect the camera and iMovie will automatically recognize it. The Import window will appear. You can use the transport controls to rewind, fast forward, stop and play the contents of the camera. Click on Automatic to rewind the tape and capture the whole tape's contents into iMovie. Choosing Manual will allow you to select and record just the parts of video that you wish.
    If you connected the camera before iMovie was open, you may need to tell iMovie which camera to use. check that the correct camera is selected in the Import window:
    If the Import window does not open automatically, click on the Camera Import button as shown below
    or choose File > Import from Camera...

    The two commeon reasons are:
    You may be using regular sharing rather than Home Sharing.  See information here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819
    The two computers are not on the same local network, or are not both authorized to the same account.

  • Trouble with the "Share authoring DCD function" in FCP 7

    Good evening to everybody,
    I don't know why but, on many of the computer I'm using, I just can't burn a DVD with the "Share" menu. It seems that FCP make 3 files :
    - 1 for the video (in MPEG2)
    - 2 for audio (both in AC3)
    It's not very usefull and moreover, FCP himself says that there is too many file to burn the DVD.
    Is there someone that have understood what I've just written and have a solution ?
    Regards from paris
    Vincent

    Stop exporting those ways.
    Export your timeline using "current settings". It can be either self contained or a reference file.
    Open up Compressor, add your file, apply the appropriate preset and let it run.

  • Trouble with Home Sharing/Airplay from Mac

    I am having an issue trying to access my computer through 2nd gen Apple TV. The software on the device is up to date. I am running OS X Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro with up to date iTunes. I am trying to watch a video in my iTunes library but it will not let me access my computer with home sharing. I have made sure that both devices have home sharing turned on and using the correct account. I am also unable to access my iTunes library with my iPad or iPhone. I have done this successfully in the past so I'm not sure what is causing this. Oh, it also wont let me airplay from iTunes on my Mac to the apple tv.
    Thanks,
    Matt

  • Trouble with Home sharing on iPad, 3rd generation

    I am trying to use Home Sharing to bring across my iTunes Music Library and Playlists to my iPad, third generation, IOS 6.1.3.  I have filled in the HOME SHARING APPLE ID and PassworD in Settings -> Music.  But according to two textbook references: 'My iPad', Gary Rosenzweig and iPad, the missing manual', J.D. Biersdorfer, both references state I should next click a 'More' button, which should provide me a listing of devices which I can select from to get a iTunes Library.  I do not have a 'more' button.  I have signed off and and re-logged back on and I still do not get a 'more' button.  Can anyone tell me if I have missed a step or was misinformed?

    I have one network router.  I have 5 devices that connect to the router; a G3/G4 B/W PPC connected via an ethernet cable, IMac PPC connected via ethernet, MacBook 2,0 connected via ethernet, Apple TV connected via WiFi, and the iPad (3rd Generation) connected via WiFi. Home Sharing is turned on in the G3/G4 PPC, MacBook 2,0 and the iPad using the same Apple ID.  I was able to Home Share between the G3/G4 PPC and the MacBook, but not the PPC and the iPad.
    I hope this helps you isolate my problem

  • HT4527 Pb with Home share moving music and playlist transfers to new computer

    I am trying to move my music library and playlists from my old computer (which I want to get rid of once I get my files transfered) to my new computer.  After searching and reading, it seemed Home Sharing would be easiest method.  I shared my library between my old and new computer.  The help screen indicated you had to then save the shared list to the new computer if you want to deactivate the sharing feature (and not use other computer).
    When I tried to copy music I'd shared onto new computer, it appears to work until I go to play the music on the computer.  Then all the songs cut off about a minute from the end.  How do I fix this problem?
    Playlists: With the playlists, I followed the directions and exported my playlists to a memory stick and then imported them onto the new computer via itunes.  The playlists all show up, but when I play music from the playlist it only plays the first 15 seconds of the song and then moves onto the next song.  How do I fix this problem?
    Thanks for any insight, directions anyone can share.  I have a PC with Windows 7

    With a Mac, you'd connect the iPhone to the Mac using the USB cable and then launch iPhoto or whatever other photo/movie application you like, and then import the videos from the phone. You should be able to do the same with your PC; use whatever video importer you like, it should treat the iPhone like any other camera.
    You can also use this iOS app, but it will only work pictures and with fairly short videos.

  • Trouble with home page being indexed

    Hi
    For some reason my home page isn't being indexed by Google and I can't understand why. If I put in site:thelittlethings.info/Home.html into Google it doesn't appear but it does if I go to that URL so it definitely exists in that form. If I put just site:thelittlethings.info into Google then my home page comes up but just as www.thelittlethings.info/.
    I think I may have done something wrong when renaming my index file or something as this problem never used to exist. Can someone explain to me how I need to publish the site if I don't want my home page to be the first url in the nav bar because I think this is where the problem exists unless someone has a different idea. I know I have a few issues with the seo on my site but this seems to be a specific and fundamental error that I making.
    Cheers

    Can anyone help me as this is still bugging me - it's not a problem I used to have and I'm sure it's because I've made changes to my home page and done something wrong when setting which page is the index - would that make sense?
    The home page is http://www.thelittlethings.info/home.html or http://www.thelittlethings.info/ as it is showing in my web stats

  • Having trouble with home page buttons

    I created a project that has more than 20 states so to accomodate this I used the functionality to create a custom component with sub states. However, I seem to be having a problem with the buttons on my home page (Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, etc). They work fine the first time visiting the home page and link to the first state within each custom component as I'd like them to and as I've assigned in the button properties. However, once a user clicks through all the states within a component and returns to the home page, if they click the button for that chapter again, they are directed to the last state within the component. What am I doing wrong? I have these home screen buttons configured to link to the page that  represents the starting point for each chapter. If I try changing the button to configure to automatically transition to the custom component state 1 instead of a page then it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

    Haven't been able to call due to health issues.  Hope to be able to call soon, but tried to move WiFi as much as I can.  Upgraded to Quantum, so the WiFi router is connected via ethernet to the main box (if I remember correctly).  Then the Gateway device is connected to the router via ethernet cable.  Can I just remove that cable or do I have to set it up to be wired?  I really can't move the two routers out of our bedroom.  Thanks and I will hopefully be able to call within the next couple of days.
