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.

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me, I recently restored my itouch 4th Gen and was then told to upgrade to itunes 10.6 now everytime I try and install itunes I get the following message, help please!
Error writing to file: C:\Program\Files\iTunes.Resources\de.Iproj\SortPrefixes.plist. Verify that you have access to that directory.Error writing to file: C:\Program\Files\iTunes.Resources\de.Iproj\SortPrefixes.plist. Verify that you have access to that directory.
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards? -

i changed the lan uage of my iphone 3gs from english to spanish and then back to english. now it does not recognise enghlish but seems to be using a mix of languages. how do i get it back to english please?
Please check in Settings: General: Keyboard: International Keyboards how many there are and which.
If there is more than one you can either delete the ones that you don't use, or if you want to type on different ones at different times you can change between them using the key with a world that appears when you are using the keyboard. -
I have home sharing turned on on both of my computers and my iphone, but I don't see how to get them to share music
Hello hueycat,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you have enabled Home Sharing on your devices, but you are not seeing the option to share music. To use Home Sharing, your devices will need to be on the same network. I also have some additional suggestions to get you setup with Home Sharing.
On the computer, I find it useful to have the Sidebar enabled so that you can see the iTunes libraries that are shared:
In iTunes 11 you have the option to turn the Sidebar and the Status Bar on or off; they are off by default. To do this in the menus, go to:
Show Sidebar - Choose View > Show Sidebar (this feature will display iTunes features on the left side of the application including Library, Store, Shared, Genius, and Playlists).
iTunes 11: Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
Once you have that enabled, you should see the shared iTunes library in the Sidebar:
Understanding Home Sharing
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3819
On your iPhone, I you can view the shared content in the Music or Videos app:
iPhone
With iOS 5 and later, tap [Music or Videos] > More... > Shared or tap iPod > More… > Shared with earlier versions of iOS.
Select a shared library.
iOS: Setting up Home Sharing on your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4557
If you are using Home Sharing to transfer your iTunes Library from one computer to another, use the steps in the section titled “Home Sharing” in the following article:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
Lastly, if you are not seeing your shared iTunes libraries at all, you can use the steps in the following article to troubleshoot Home Sharing:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

How do I get iTunes Home Sharing to be seen on my PS3?
I have already contacted Sony's PS3 support online chat and they assisted me with getting it all set-up on their end, but now I need to get it to work from my iTunes' end.
I have enabled Home Sharing in my iTunes desktop software, it stated it was enabled just fine; but when I look to see how to authorize my PS3 as an aditional machine allowed to have access to my media, I cannot seem to find a way to do this.
Is there any way to set this up, anyone? Or am I at a loss? If there is no way, can anyone help direct me on where I can go to listen to my iTunes music (possibly by adding a share to the iTunes Music folder on my PC) on my PS3?Hello,
First try the Five R's. The Five R's are the five things to first do if your iPod is having issues.
I especially suggest Resetting, Restoring, and Reinstalling iTunes.
Make sure your iTunes program is upgraded. Get the latest version here:
iTunes - Download iTunes
If you have issues installing iTunes' latest updates, go here:
Trouble installing iPod, iTunes, or Quicktime software in Windows
Try out the suggestions and solutions in these Apple Support links:
Using iPod with multiple computers
iPod shows up in Windows, but not in iTunes
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes for Windows
Try those articles. Post back, so I can try to help if those things above didn't. -
I have an Apple TV 2nd Gen, iPad 2 and can't get the icon to appear when i swipe from left to right. What am I missing?
I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.
Also using IPad 2 I am able to get the ITunes to accept the user name and same password as the Mac.
However, the only way I can see the 'Home sharing; icon is in Music on the Ipad. When I tap on the Icon it asks for a password.
When I give the same password, it is rejected.
Help!!!!
JaxxdiggsPersonally I think the iOS devices are poor at reconnecting - Airplay establishes that a link is available but when the iPhone/iPad has been away from the house and rejoins the network i think AppleTV already thinks it's connected with a different IP address and fails to recognise it has joined the network again with new credentials.
Something along those lines anyway.
I find that a combination of restarting AppleTV, router and iOS device tends to fix it, but not for everyone.

Cant find the home sharing icon on my ipad
The support page tells me to enter a file name but not where to enter it I cant see a home sharing icon on the iturnestore page
Look in Settings > Music > Home Sharing. What is required is your Apple ID.
Home Sharing must also be turned on in iTunes on your computer (File Menu > Home Sharing) and iTunes must be running.

Ipod Touch 8GB Model a1213. Cant get to HOME screen?
My friend bought new in '08 a iPod Touch 8GB- Model a1213. Her son had always loade music but, he pasted away so, she was tried herself. Now her screen, when powered up, shows a Musical Note over a Disk, under that, shows the Plug that connects to bottom of iPod Touch. We cant get to home or any other screen. Thanks!
It sounds like the iPod is in Recovery Mode. You'll need to connect the iPod Touch to her iTunes library and restore it.

I cant get "add a device" to show up onmy Mac to sync to my Ipad or phone
Trying to sync my iphone and ipad to my firefox on my home Imac i had the set up before using firefox home
now i cant get my home computer to "add Device" so I cant sync my other devices.Sorry, Firefox Home has been gone for quite awhile now. The Bookmarks On The Go app that replaced Firefox Home has not updated ''(to the best of my knowledge)'' for Firefox 29 or later, so currently iPhone and iPad can't be connected to Firefox Sync Accounts.

Home sharing problem with music between iTunes and Apple TV
iTunes 10.5.2.11
Apple TV2 running 4.4.4 (3330)
Windows 7 pc
WI FI connection
Apple TV is losing its connection to iTunes on my windows 7 pc after streaming EXACTLY TWO SONGS. I've never had this problem until the last update of iTunes to 10.5.2.11 and Apple TV 4.4.4. Home sharing is on in both iTunes and apple TV. I launch my computer from apple TV and open the music folders, select an album/playlist or even shuffle (doesn't matter what I do). Apple TV will play two songs and then lose its home sharing connection to my iTunes songs. TheBuffering icon continues to spin as it looks for the next song on the playlist, but the \song never starts playing. If I sue the apple TV remote to return to the main menu, it is apparent that my computer is no longer visible to apple tv.
The only temporary "fix" (which again only works for EXACTLY TWO SONGS) is to re-start home sharing on my pc or apple tv. Obviously, you can't listen to music by continuously turning on/off home sharing on eiter device. Doesn't matter which device I choose to restart home Sharing.
I've spent considerable time troubleshooting this issue. It is NOT a router issue, nor is it a signal quality issue. I'm able to stream feature-length movies from iTunes to apple TV without issue. It's only music files. The cynic in me thinks its apple wanting me to spend $25 to put my music in its iCloud service.
Other troubleshooting that I've tried. None successful.
Uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes.
Tried a fresh install of iTunes on a brand new windows 7 maching
Restored my apple TV.
disconnected / re-connected outlook.bump to Apple. Many people are having this issue and no fix yet!
