TS1398 Home network for library sharing no longer works. Help!!

Home network does not route Internet access (long story, irrelevant to the issue). I use my network to connect my devices & share iTunes library. Since upgrading to iOS 6, my iPhone 4 & wife's 4S will not connect. Old 3rd gen iPod with iOS 4.2) & MacBook (Lion) will. Connected fine with iOS 5.1.1, never had a problem until we upgraded to iOS 6.

Try performing a Renew License under Settings-WiFi-WiFiRouterName with the blue arrow.
If not, Forget Network. Then reestablish your services.
For Sharing My iTunes Library, be sure that the iTunes PC's Apple ID/Password is correctly entered and it is currently the active one. More than one PC will help to separate the services.
Same thing you will have to do on the iPhone "Remote" application. Sharing My iTunes Library only works on Apple Remote application. It does not link your iPhone's Music/Video together under their native applications.
Once your Apple ID is established on both devices and the Apple Remote is active, you will see all certified Apple applications including iTunes PC with your login and Apple TV with your login.

  • Apple TV Home Sharing no longer working

    I have a friend who is looking for help  Here is his problem:
    "I've had the 2nd generation Apple TV since October when it was released and it has worked fine until I recently changed my Apple User Name (email address). After changing my user name my Apple TV and iPhone 4 no longer find my shared network and home sharing no longer works. Home sharing is enabled on all devices, including my Sony Vaio Laptop, iPhone4, and Apple TV 2nd generation. Everything else has remained constant, including service provider, router, modem, and internet security (Trend Micro). Also, my library is on a networked hard drive, which didn’t seem to make a difference before, but I figured I'd mention it."
    The problem began when he changed his Apple User Name.  After he changed his name, home sharing no longer works even though he also changed it on all his devices to match the new Apple User Name.
    How does he get Home Sharing working again. Has anyone run into this same problem?
    Thanks in advance

    Winston,
    Thank you for the information.  He confirmed that the ID and password are the same on every device.  This only started happending when he changed his User Name with Apple. 
    --Itunes is running on a Windows Vista Machine (Sony Vaio)
    --He has an Apple TV (2nd Gen)
    --He has an iPhone 4
    Can you tell me more about the technologies that apple uses to make "homesharing" work?  Do you think he may need to remove then re-install Bonjour?

  • Home Sharing no longer works in 10.1

    There seems to be a few posts about this but nothing that answers the issue. I had Home Sharing working with 10.0 with my iPhone, iPad and Apple TV v2. Since the update the sharing no longer works and I can't connect any of the devices to iTunes 10.1 to share the library.
    I have deauthorised each of the devices with no luck, the share seems to appear in iTunes when I first connect, click on 'Done' and it disappears.
    This seems to be a problem with 10.1 but is incredibly frustrating as my Apple TV is now pretty much redundant without this functionality.
    Anyone else seen this and fixed it under Windows 7?
    Thanks
    Neil

  • Home Network and printer sharing with XP and Vista

       I have a home network and printer wired on my PC desktop which runs XP.  My Vista laptop has been connected to internet and printer through the home network for past 6 years flawlessly.  However, since October my Vista laptop cannot
    connect to the network printer, but internet has been working fine. 
       I've tried to uninstall/reinstall, update drivers, connect via TCP/IP but printer isn't located by add printer wizard.  When I plug printer directly into laptop via USB it works fine.  I also have tried another xp desktop in the house
    and that cannot locate the printer also.     Help!
    Thanks in advance,
    Medic

  • Internet sharing no longer works after Lion 10.7.4 update

    Internet sharing no longer works after Lion 10.7.4 update. Hopefully Apple will fix this shortly. Little excuse for this kind of screw-up.

    so here is da answer
    1. go to finder>(computer name)>macintosh HD>library>preferences
    2. copy the entire systemconfiguration folder and systemconfiguration.old folder to your desktop
    3. restart mac and device which you share intenet to
    then you have internet that is about 3x slower than the da 10.7.3 intenet sharing, but works
    then, just wait for apple to release da 10.7.4 fixed
    please use da steps!

  • File sharing no longer working under Lion

    File Sharing no longer works on our household macs running Lion. Shared volumes show up intermittedly in the finder sidebar. But connections fail.

    for what it's worth, i too am experiencing this issue and it is driving me insane... Any chance you two came across a workaround or fix?
    i've discovered that clicking on "AirDrop" on the shared Mac seems to awaken the shared services (screen sharing, file sharing etc.) and make them available on networked devices.
    i'm beginning to suspect that Bonjour may be the culprit as services advertised using Bonjour suddenly spring to life.
    it's short-lived unfortunately as availability eventually ceases... Clicking again on AirDrop reliably brings it back...
    That's where I am currently... if anybody has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

  • Connecting to windows 7 home network for file and printer sharing

    Hi,
    I just bought my first Macbook pro (13" 2.66ghz w/ OSX 10.6.4) and it is my first apple product. I was under the impression that it would be able to connect to my home windows network so I could file & printer share. So far I have only been able to connect to the internet wirelessly but have been unable to connect to the home network. All the online help keeps telling me I need to turn on windows sharing but where they tell me to look there is every other type of sharing but windows sharing. Can anyone help?
    Adam

    On the PC, right click on C: and when the Properties window opens click the Sharing Tab and then check 'Share this drive/folder'
    On the Mac open System Preferences/Sharing check File Sharing in the left column then hit the Options button across right, check the third item "Share files and folders using SMB (Windows)"
    Then on the Mac Finder Desktop top menu bar select Go/Connect to Server and in the window that pops open enter smb://nameofPC and hit Connect - another window will pop open asking for the username and password of a user on that PC box, once you enter that you'll have the PC appear on your Desktop and can browse it with the Finder.

  • Home Sharing no longer works between iTunes and Apple TV.

    I've been through all the forums, tried all the solutions provided and I have come to the conclusion that Home Sharing just no longer works between iTunes on a PC and my Apple TV.  Does anyone know if this issue will be addressed or should I list my Apple TV up on eBay?  (along with my iPad, iPod, and iPhone, since all system no longer sync together as before.)
    My issue:
    My iTunes library is no longer listed under "Computers" on the Apple TV.
    The airplay icon no longer shows up in iTunes. (Version 11)
    I cannot play music/content from my iPhone or iPad via remote that is stored in my iTunes library through my Apple TV. 
    I can however play music/content that is stored locally on my iPhone and iPad through my Apple TV.
    My firewall settings are allowing access to Apple TV.
    After logging into my router, I see no issues there.
    I've logged in/out, turned home sharing on/off, de-authorized/authorized, and restarted my PC, Apple TV, and Router.
    All devices are logged into the same iTunes account, and are on the same wireless network.
    Time for a solution Apple.

    If you turn off wifi on your  Computer and connect it to the apple tv using an ethernet cable can you see your library under computers in Apple TV.
    If yes the issue is with your wifi not the Apple TV

    iTunes Home Sharing Not Working
    Not working and sometimes when it is working, it cuts out in the middle, or when you click on the computer name, the focus goes away from the library.  In other words, really weird.
    What it is
    iTunes has a feature called "Home Sharing" - it basically allows you to share your entire or part of your library with other instances of iTunes in your home network.  It requires you to login to your iTunes account on both computers.  A typical scenario is to enable Home Sharing on your desktop machine and then access the library from your iPad, Apple TV, iPhone, Mac, etc.
    In my case, I have iTunes on my desktop machine running Windows XP in the attic with Home Sharing enabled and then I access the library from my Macbook and Apple TV, depending on what I want.  How to use Home Sharing can be found here.
    Symptoms
    Home Sharing machine not showing up in Apple TV or the Macbook
    The Macbook home sharing not showing up on my desktop
    Home Sharing working intermittently
    Connections getting cut of intermittently
    Usually, restarting iTunes or the desktop computer will make things work.
    Sometimes, restarting the Macbook or the Apple TV will make things work.
    The "working" doesn't last long
    The FixOn the desktop computer where the Home Sharing is enabled, I disabled the "QoS Packet Scheduler" from the network connection:
    Open Control Panel
    Open Network Connections
    Right-Click on your connection (in my case, it was "Wireless Network Connection 4"
    Select Properties
    Uncheck "QoS Packet Scheduler"
    Click OK
    Restart iTunes if necessary
    After doing the above, Home Sharing worked like a charm.  

  • HT2688 After downloading new version of iTunes, home sharing no longer working.

    I have a home network of 2 Mac Minis and a MacBook Pro, in different parts of the house, mainly sharing music. SInce I downloaded the latest version of iTunes on the three computers (between 10th and 12th of June 2013) the three computers iTunes secreens no longer register the other libraries. I have checked that home sharing etc are switched on. Any suggestions?  Thanks

    What exactly does this have to do with iTunes for Windows, the forum to which you've posted?

  • Apple TV 4.4.4 Home Sharing no longer working over ethernet

    My ATV home network setup has gone from working well to not at all over the last few days and I am trying to troubleshoot it, looking for folks with similar experiences.  This appeared to start on or around the time I did the 4.4.4 update, though it could be unrelated, because at that time I also switched my main home sharing server from an old Windows laptop to an old Mac Mini I just aquired for that purpose (which is a sweet little machine for $250 btw).
    Situation is, with the ATV connected via ethernet, it no longer sees any home sharing servers, that are on ethernet or wifi.  It is also not available for airplay for any devices on wifi. This was working fine with the PC iTunes server on ethernet a few days ago. 
    If I connect both the ATV and Mac Mini iTunes server via wireless, it all works fine (but performace can suffer).  Something has changed, as the ATV on ethernet was also fine to access my macbook on the wireless network a few days ago, but again it doesn't unless the ATV is on wireless too.  Finally, the remote app on my iPhone will also only see the ATV if it is on wifi.  To me it is like Bonjour is not working over the ethernet connection. I have done a little port prodding, and this appears to be the case, but it is not conclusive.
    I have reset, restored to factory and re-updated the ATV, turned home sharing on and off a 100 times, cylcled the servers, reinstalled iTunes, all sorts of stuff.
    Honestly, I would more likely put the blame on something weird with the wired vs wifi network routing on my XFinity router/modem, if not for the fact that I haven't touched it for months (save a few power cycles) and I just updated the ATV when this went south.  I tried to ask Comcast about this issue, but that was like trying to explain quantum physics to the cat...
    I've seen at least one other thread on this forum similar, was wondering if anyone else has had this sort of trouble since the 4.4.4 update?
    Thanks

    Any news or updates in your Home Sharing problem? I am experiencing similar issues as well. I have turned on Home Sharing in two of my PCs, and my Apple TV 2 cannot see both of my PCs. I have the Remote application installed on my iPad 1, and it suddenly stopped working as well. The Remote application cannot see both of my PCs and Apple TV 2 anymore. I have also noticed that AirPlay does not work anymore as the AirPlay icon does not appear when I am watching videos on my iPad 1.
    Home Sharing and AirPlay used to work the day before I have updated my Apple TV 2 to version 4.4.4. I have tried restarting, resetting the settings and restoring the Apple TV 2, and it did not resolve my issue. I have also tried disabling/enabling the Home Sharing in both of my PCs, and it also did not resolve my issue. I am leading to believe that the Apple TV 2 update to version 4.4.4 had something to do with my issue.

  • Home sharing no longer works after up-dating

    After the last up-date several weeks ago, Home Sharing has stopped working. Have tried re-booting WiFi server, Reset and Restore Apple TV, re-loaded iTunes and nothing works. Any suggestions ?

    I had this problem and do have have this same problem every time iTunes updates. What works for me is this.
    1: reset windows fire wall to default which removes all apple software for the list of allowed programs. 2: go to programs and features on the control panel, select bonjour and click the repair button to reinstall it. 3: restart your pc. 4: once up and running go back to your firewall and re ad all apple programs(iTunes bonjour iCloud etc.)to the allowed list for your private home network. Exit out and open iTunes. I did this this morning and every part of home sharing is now working flawlessly for me across all devices.

  • Home sharing no longer working

    Home sharing had been working for months without issue. Apple TV, two different iPhones, iPod touch, iPad and laptop. Suddenly, after last  itunes update (?) nothing will connect. Home sharing IS ON and I AM signed in. I made no changes to cause this and I have since tried all of the troubleshooting tips. It used to work, it doesn't now, I didn't cause it and I'd like to get it going again. What did apple do to cause this and what is being done to actually fix it instead of pointing users to a checklist of things that don't solve the problem that I didn't cause?

  • Home sharing no longer working on iPhone 3G(s)

    I have an iPhone 3G(s) running 5.0.1 and iTunes 10.5.3
    My MacBook Pro is running 10.5.8
    Here is the issue. Up until about a few weeks ago, I never had an issue with Home Sharing. I always just turned on my MacBook Pro and loaded iTunes, plugged my iPhone into my TV and picked a movie or TV show and watched it via Home Sharing. It worked out just fine.
    Now I am finding that it is not working the way it is supposed to anymore. I can still stream my music just fine via home sharing, but none of my videos will share anymore. They will either just sit at a black screen doing nothing or when I try to load a video it will crash the video app on my iPhone. It is really aggrivating.
    I have power cycled the iPhone and reset it. I have restarted iTunes and my computer a few times. Turned Home Sharing off and on. Deauthorized the computer and re-authorized it. Reset my router. It seems that Nothing I do will let me stream my movies to my iPhone anymore.
    If anyone can assist me I would appreciate it.
    Thank You

    I finally conceded and restored my iPhone and it appears to work for now. But if anyone else encounters this issue and finds a fix that does not involve restoring, I would be happy to hear it in the event this happens again. I hate restoring my phone because it takes so long to re-sync all of my information back to it.
