  • TS2972 HOME SHARING WONT WORK WITH ITUNES 12

    I CANT ANYMORE
    My OS is Windows 7
    My iOS device: iPad 7.1.1
    My iTunes Version: 12
    AND I've tried by all means to use home sharing with the Remote app, but it doesn't work at all.
    So please HELP ME

    I have had this same problem since I upgraded to version 11 of iTunes.  I just found today that if you go into Preferences (under the Edit menu in Windows or under File on Mac OS) there is a Sharing tab that was turned off.  As soon as I checked the box in front of "Share my library on my local network" and the checkbox in front of "Home Sharing computers and devices update play counts" (I don't know if this second checkbox has to be checked or not) and restarted iTunes on each computer it began to work again.
    I have no idea why Apple decided to have this turned off by default in version 11+ as I had it working fine prior to upgrading.  I also have no idea why Apple makes no mention of the need to go into the Preferences and make sure Sharing is enabled.  I have found no mention of it in any home sharing documentation...

  • Home sharing wont work!

    Hello,
    I am trying to home share between a Mac and PC. I have gone through all the steps over and over. The PC can see and access the Mac's library. The Mac can see the PC's library, but when I click on it to transfer or accsess it the toolbar keeps moving and it ends up freezing, or just continuing to do nothing but move,if that makes sense. I don't get any error messages. The PC library is large, but from what I have read that should not be an issue? PLEASE someone save me from this ongoing battle.
    Thanks
    (I posted this to the Itunes forum with no response)

  • TS2972 Home Sharing with ATV stopped working after upgrade to iTunes 11

    After upgrading to iTunes 11, my two PCs are no longer visible to Apple TV or the iOS Remote App.  I went through all the steps in "Troubleshooting Home Sharing" http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972 without success.  In additions, I tried:
    Turning Home Sharing off, then on again on both PCs
    Re-created Firewall rules for iTunes
    Ran a factory reset on Apple TV
    Disabled iPV6 on the network adapter, based on a blogger's fix for an iTunes 10 problem
    Some other observations:
    Home Sharing was working with Apple TV an hour before I ran the updates for iTunes 11 and Apple TV. 
    The Apple TV and iOS Remote App are working together, so the network settings must be correct.
    The PCs in question are running Window 8 Pro 64-bit and Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
    The two PCs can see eachother's iTunes.
    It seems likely this is an iTunes 11 issue, but upgrading ATV2 at the same time clouds the diagnostics.
    I was just about to order two more Apple TVs, but now have second thoughts now that my ATV2 is just a doorstop. 
    Any suggestions? 

    You are not alone with issues related to the e1000e (but all they concluded was that reloading the module makes it work again):
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=145564
    It seems like this is more your issue:
    http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux. … devel/8932
    But if none of those boot flags work for you, then there's not much you can do, and you'll have to write a script to reload the module each time after initial boot finishes I guess until the module gets fixed.
    Also, power management of the PCIe interface causes the e1000e to shut off after a while as well (lots of people on CentOS noticing this):
    http://serverfault.com/questions/226319 … ie-aspm-do
    So you can use that boot parameter to stop that from happening, if that becomes an issue for you as well.

    The helpfulness of answers is limited by the details provided.  Just saying it does not work, or I got an error does not provide much to go on.  How is it not working?  What happens or does not happen?  Is an error returned?  If so what error.  Are you sure you are logging in with your home sharing ID?  It is not the same as your Apple ID or iCloud ID.

  • Cant get  home sharing to work anymore

    I have always used home sharing which worked well.
    System Preferences - Sharing - internet sharing via wifi.
    Now sharing is on but the other home computers and ipads wont find it.
    It was working fine a few days ago.
    what has changed.

  • Home sharing not working between itunes and apple tv, I've read all help articles I could find... still nothing

    Hey there!
    Here's every detail of the problem:
    1- My iTunes (10.5.2) doesn't give me any options for apple tv in any menu. Some troubleshooting article I remember said something like «go to Settings - Apple TV - Always Search for Apple TVs» or something like that, yet my itunes settings have NOTHING for Apple TV.
    2- Following all setup instructions and usual troubleshooting solutions, i KNOW that all options and settings available to me are set correctly and everything  should work normally, yet my iTunes shows no recognition of my Apple TV AND my Apple TV «Computers» menu is nothing but a «Home Sharing is turned on, make sure that all Home Sharing devices are using the same Apple ID account» message.
    3- Of course, yes, all my devices ARE setup with the same Apple ID account, with Home Sharing turned on everywhere. Also I'm not using a Firewall, and none of my devices have any trouble connecting to my one and only router, all at once.
    So I figure the main problem is my itunes acting like Apple TV doesn't exist. Any ideas/solutions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Sharing Stopped working again over night.
    I went to Apple Support Artical TS2972
    As soon as I did this Home Sharing started working
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972
    Firewall Section
    5. Check Firewall Settings
    If you have a firewall enabled in your router or computer, make sure that the firewall is not blocking communication between your computers. Home Sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 to communicate with shared iTunes libraries.
    In addition, Apple TV and Mac computers will use port 123 to set the time automatically. Incorrect date and time on either the computer or Apple TV can cause errors for Home Sharing and connections in general.
    If you are unsure whether your router has a firewall or the required ports open, test additional devices or another network to help isolate the issue. If the devices tested work on another home network, it is your router or network configuration.
    For Mac OS X, you don't have to edit the port addresses, but make sure the firewall in Apple () menu > System Preferences > Security > Firewall are not set to:
    Block all incoming connections
    Allow only essential services
    If you use another security/firewall software on your computer or router, follow this article or contact the manufacturer or check the documentation on how to open TCP ports 123 and 3689 as well as UDP ports 123 and 5353.
    It made sense to me, but its still puzzling me after restarting a router would (in my first attempt) resolve the issue for a day.  This this time I applied the port forwarding TCP and UDP ports and saved the settings in the DLink DIR-655 and both my iPad2 and iPhone 3GS were now again finding the share. My ATV2 is also now accepting the Share.
    Tommorrow will be the true test.

  • Why do I have to restart iTunes on my iMac to get Home Sharing to work again on my ATV2 and ATV3?

    Last week I ordered two more Apple TVs 3rd generation.  I have connected them to my network and the ATV2 that I had, seems to be working differently.  I have to restart my iTunes on my iMac to get Home Sharing to work again.  I go to Apple Support and reference this page (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972) and it seems to be the only solution, reset iTunes.
    I currently have all apple products from end to end.  This doesn't seem to be working out as seamless as it should.  Any suggestions?

    Until Apple gets off their butts to fix this, you can do this.  Create a workflow that 1. Closes iTunes, 2. Pauses 10 seconds, 3. Opens iTunes.  Then Save it as an Application.
    Then...
    Create an Apple Script by "recording yourself" launching your new workflow.  Save that Apple Script.
    Finally..
    Go into Mail, and create a Rule that when you receive an email with the subject as "Restart iTunes" it will run your Apple Script (wchich launches your workflow app).
    Just send yourself an email from you chair!!!  :-)  Please reply if this works for you.  It works GREAT for me on Mountain Lion!
    Enjoy!
