TS2972 Home Sharing from OS X 10.9.X to IOS 7.0.X is Buggy

I've been fighting the Home Sharing problems where ipad & iphone devices for weeks.  Ipad and Iphone can connect to the home share via the audio app but not the video app, the circle spins forever.  Mind you that Apple TV 2 and 3 work fine.  Resets of network devices, ios devices, and mac libraries do nothing.  Tonight I add a second mac itunes libary to the network and voilla the ipad starts seeing home share videos, but neither iphone sitting here.  This darn thing is buggy for sure.  All the signs are there, my Apple network, Mac, and and iPad are all happy for the moment.  But not the iphones.  given my choice thats ok, but I sure wish Apple would fix this.  All the signs are there, some bug is present that prevents clean consistent connections.  Should you happen on a working mix take advantage!  I'm crossing my fingers that the ipad wont stop working.
Lets cross our fingers that ios 7.1 cleans things up!

Hello There!
After this update I notice that the problem was solved. Now Mail's 'VIPs' seems working very good and functional, even after restarting my mac!!
Thank you

  • TS2972 Home Sharing from computer (Apple Library) to Apple TV

    I turn on home sharing, it will play for about 10-15 minutes then it stops.  I have to stop and restart home sharing on the computer to get it back.  Computer (Win7 Ultimate), Apple TV and router are in the same roomonly several feet apart.  Wireless signal is strong.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    Home sharing is simply accessing your local library, it won't lower quality. Mirroring will compress content as it needs to in order to display everything over real time.
    If on wifi try ethernet
    Make sure there are no other activities occurring (streaming, network backups etc)
    Go to istumbler or similar to get a network report, look for signal strength, noise, nearby networks

  • Can't log into Home sharing from an iPhone to computer via wifi

    Every time I log into home sharing from my iPhone 4S it loads halfway and stays there until it times out. I've restarted everything, verified all network connections. No firewall. I used to be able to stream music to my phone, but can't any more. The only possible change (aside from major updates from Apple), was a substantial increase in the size of my library around the same time. But my iPod Touch was still able to sync, as well as a friends iPad. Any ideas?Every time I log into home sharing from my iPhone 4S it loads halfway and stays there until it times out.

  • HT202213 can you setup home sharing from your iPad ?

    can you setup home sharing from your iPad ?

    You can set Home sharing on the iPad by adding your Apple ID in the appropriate area.
    Settings->Music->Home Sharing
    But you still need a computer with iTunes from which to share the library.  You can't share libraries between iDevices.

  • So, I have created my home sharing from my base computer to my laptop. On my lap top I see the tab for home sharing but it will not let me connect to my computer to share my music over. I have done everything iTunes has told me to but it still won't work.

    So, I have created my home sharing from my base computer to my laptop. On my lap top I see the tab for home sharing but it will not let me connect to my computer to share my music over. I have done everything iTunes has told me to but it still won't work. Any help would make my day...

    I got some more info that may help.
    I put a cd on my laptop, and was able to share it to my computer... So the problem is only from my computer to my laptop. I tried the firewall thing and it did not help. I read the rest of the trouble shooting page, and nothing else applies. iTunes is an execption and already was. I can not think of anything else being my problem. Do you think I should re-install iTunes or would that be a waste of time? At this point I am about to just call Apple for some help because I am getting to stressed over this.
    Thanks

  • I have an apple tv 3 but when i use Home Sharing from my Windows Laptop the Apple TV shows all my music on the TV but it will only play 1 or 2 songs and then stops!!! Annoying, so I have to re-start iTunes on my Laptop and it will play 1 or 2 more songs

    Can anyone assist me with this issue?
    Thanks

    To downgrade, you'll need to download the previous software version here: ATV3 http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4361.20120605.grjot/AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
    ATV2: http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4362.20120605.t8i4U/AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
    Next, plug the Apple TV into your computer with a micro-usb cable (most phones today use these) and start up Itunes. It should detect the Apple TV in recovery.
    After that, hold down Option on Apple or Alt on Windows and click Restore. This should open a window that allows you to select the software update you want to apply. Select the one you downloaded earlier.
    It will then go through the restore process, which takes only a few minutes, and then you will be able to plug the Apple TV back in to your display and set it up again.
    I recently ran into a similar issue with a bunch of these things and after restoring them all to the previous software version they are working again.

  • How to import a playlist in Home Sharing From Computer to ...

    How to import a playlist in Home Sharing From Computer to computer and other devices?

    No need to "import". Just find the photo in iPhoto (i.e. within the application), click it once so it's highlighted with a blue outline, then select Edit menu > Copy (or just ⌘-C). Go to Address Book, select the contact, click the Edit button at the bottom, click once on the blank photo icon so it's highlighted with a blue outline, then select Edit menu > Paste (or just ⌘-V).
    FYI, the original iPhoto images are stored as individual files, in ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/subfolders.
    Hope this helps...

  • Network home sharing from iPad?...

    And I'm referring to my iTunes app....

  • Apple TV no longer sees home sharing from one computer

    I have a desktop computer with Windows 7 OS, and a laptop with windows 7 OS
    Up until about a month ago I could   do home sharing  separate libraries from either computer with either one of my (2) Apple TVs
    Now both Apple TVs only recognize home sharing from my laptop but not from my desktop (where of course the library is more extensive.)
    I have tried rebooting my modem, router and computer, rebooting both Apple TVs, rebooting I-Tunes, de-authorize  and re-authorize my desktop computer, uninstalling and reinstalling my I-Tunes, undo home sharing and re-do home sharing my library - All on several occasions and absolutely nothing works,
    I even brought one of the Apple TV boxes in and hooked it up with a micro USB as someone suggested and reprogrammed it back to factory default settings.
    Does anyone have any other ideas that might possibly work to get my desktop library back on line for Home Sharing???

    Brian,
    Thanks for responding.....................
    No, it just shows the Laptop computer when you click the computer tab box when you first open Apple TV - ie NetFlix, Hulu, Computers
    If you go to settings and then computer - it just gives the option to turn home sharing off, it does not mention any specific computer there.

  • Home Sharing from Mac to iPad vs. Mac to AppleTV 2

    Some odd quirks about Home Sharing from a Mac to the iPad, vs. from a Mac to AppleTV 2.
    I'm seeing duplicates of some of my TV Seasons on the iPad (like, 3 identical icons that claim to be the same Season 2 of a series-the contents are identical). Meanwhile, some TV seasons don't show up at all.
    Also, episodes seem once again out of order; this was an issue originally with AppleTV 2, which I fixed by adding both track numbers and season episode numbers.
    All my content looks great in AppleTV 2 now-on the iPad..not so much I know the content all plays fine on all 3 devices, so it's not a format issue I don't think. Curious if anyone else is seeing some odd Home Sharing contents on their iPads/iPhones as well.

    I am seeing an issue as well. It seems that when using Home Share on my iPad, that the directory listing of for example my TV shows is not complete. What I am seeing is that it only displays a subset of the entire catalog of TV shows in my iTunes Library. I notices that from A through S shows were present but nothing thereafter. So I changed the names of the TV Shows to start with an A for example and they did show up but then several shows dropped off the end of the listing. I concluded that the issue is not an alphabetical issue but just a limited amount of entries within the directory can be displayed.... obviously a bug within the iPad current release of 4.3. I do notice that the iPhone ver of IOS doesn't seem to have the problem. Also it does display several of the identical TV shows as well as mentioned in prior messages.

  • Can i put music on another library after home sharing from my new laptop?

    I used home sharing to share the music, but i want to be able to add music on the other library from my new laptop
    Is there a way to do this?

    Hello shrutisk1,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    You can use Home Sharing to transfer the music to other computers by following the directions below.
    Home Sharing is an easy way to keep all your iTunes libraries in sync across multiple computers at your house. For more information on Home Sharing and syncing your library between two computers, read iTunes: Understanding Home Sharing.
    Note: This option allows you to share music between multiple computers if you continue to use both, but it doesn't create a lasting backup. To create a lasting backup, use an external drive or CDs or DVDs.
    Home Sharing requires
    iTunes 9 or later.
    An Apple ID that is also an iTunes or App Store Account. If you need to, you can create an iTunes or App Store account without a credit card.
    An active Internet connection.
    A Local Area Network connection (Ethernet or Wi-Fi), such as one created by a router.
    Follow the steps below to use Home Sharing to copy your music between your old computer which has the music on it already, and a new computer.
    Be sure iTunes 9 or later is installed on both computers.
    Open iTunes on both computers.
    On your old computer:
    If Home Sharing is already enabled, iTunes 11 or later displays the option to Turn Off Home Sharing (Account) under the File > Devices menu. If this is the case, proceed to step 7. Otherwise, choose:
    iTunes 11 or later: File > Devices > Turn On Home Sharing from the menu bar.
    iTunes 9 or 10: Advanced > Turn On Home Sharing from the menu bar.
    Select the Home Sharing icon on the left side of iTunes from where you select music, movies, or TV shows.
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password.
    Click Create Home Share.
    On your new computer:
    Click the Store menu and choose Authorize computer. Enter your Apple ID and password (that was listed in the Advanced menu in step three or used in step 5).
    Choose Advanced > Turn On Home Sharing from the menu bar.
    Select the Home Sharing icon on the left side of iTunes.
    Note: Once Home Sharing is enabled, the Home Sharing option disappears from the left side of iTunes until a Home Share library is found from another computer.
    Once your new computer sees the Home Share from your old computer, click that Home Share on the left side of iTunes on your new computer.
    Select the content in the Home Share that you want to transfer to your iTunes library on your new computer, or choose Edit > Select All to choose all of it. Then, click the Import button in the bottom-right corner of iTunes.
    Wait for the content to finish transferring.

  • TS2972 home sharing will work from computer to apple tv but not the other way?

    home sharing will work from computer to apple tv but not the other way?

    Home sharing is one thing, physically copying is another thing.

  • 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.

  • TS2972 Home Sharing will not work on my new iPad Mini

    I have an iPad mini set up with home sharing on my iMac.  When I try to search my home sharing library on the iPad mini, the music app immediately crashes. Also, it will not sort the music by artist or album, only by song or playlist.  I have rebooted both of the devices multiple times and have verified that OS X, iTunes, and iOS are all up to date. Anyone else having this kind of problem with the new minis?

    Figured out my problem sharing my music library on a new iPad Mini (I think).  Two issues:  (1) I have two Apple IDs, the result of doing one years ago and forgetting about it when I set up another; Apple doesn't seem to be able to ever merge or otherwise fix this problem, despite the best efforts of smart folks at the Genius Bar plus of course I'm forced to have 3rd ID as my iCloud username, but never mind....).  I was logged in as one Apple ID and my music library is under the other.  Went to "Music" under settings, signed out under "Home Sharing" on that page, signed in again as the other Apple ID.  (2) Realized then that it was trying to share music from something called my iPad library instead of the library under my name, which is where my music is.  When I fixed these two things, it all shared nicely.  Whew!
