  • I have transferred itunes and library using home sharing.  How do I 'turn off' the old computer and just use the new one?  home sharing requires both to be on at the moment.

    I have transferred my itunes content and playlists to a new computer using home sharing.  Now I want to use my new computer only, so need to 'turn off' the old one.   What do i do?

    Hello shiv99,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you have used Home Sharing to play the music from one computer on another, but now you would like to only use the new computer. It sounds as though you have set up the content to share between computers, but have not actually I’m ported the media from the old computer to the new one. I would suggest following the troubleshooting steps located in the attached article to import you music from the old computer to the new one. After that process is complete, you can turn off Home Sharing if you would like and the content will be in the iTunes library on your new computer.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes library to a new computer?  I have transferred purchased music but wish to transfer the rest of my library.  Home sharing isn't responding and the computers are going to be in different locations.

    How do I transfer my iTunes library from my old computer to my new one?  I have successfully transferred purchased music but not my library of CDs.  Home sharing will not work, and isn't working in fact, as the computers will be in different countries.

    Assuming your library is in the default location and all of the media is stored within the library's media folder then this is what you need to do:
    Copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target computer.
    You can do this directly over a network (making use of shared network folders) or by making a copy on an external drive, moving the drive between computers, and copying again. Any way that works is good. However if you say that you cannot use Home Sharing (doesn't work properly anyway) because the source and target are not on the same network then method 2 as I describe it won't work either.
    Your playlists, play counts, ratings etc. are stored inside the database iTunes Library.itl which is inside the iTunes folder and a successful migration includes all of this information, not just the media files. I recommend method 1 from the earlier link as it sets you up with a backup mechanism to use in future. All hard drives fail eventually and often without warning, or at least a warning that is noticed and then heeded.
    If the initial assumption is wrong, or you need help checking, just ask.

  • Can I use home sharing between my iPhone and iPad? Or do I need to use a computer?

    I want to use home sharing between my iPhone and Ipad. So I can use the remote app. But I can't get it to work

    You can use it to share the library on your computer to the iPad, not the other way around.
    On the computer, set up homesharing in the advanced menu. On the iPad go to settings > music.

  • HT3819 Isn't the five computer limit for home sharing restrictive given the many devices one household may have?

    Isn't the five computer limit for home sharing restrictive given the many devices one household may have?

    It is only restrictive if you have more than 5 computers.
    Otherwise it is not restrictive at all.
    devices do not count, only computers.
    You have more than 5 computers on the same home network.

    I switched on home sharing on My computer And on appleTV, but still cannot Control AppleTV with My ipad

    Hi Wikowiko!
    If you want to be able to control your Apple TV through your iPad, you will want to download a free app from Apple called Remote. An article we have published online can help you understand more of the features of the Remote app, and can be found here:
    About Remote app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

    Assuming AVG is involved there is a new patch which may resolve the issue. Update AVg before attempting to recover the library.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
    Consistent Problems
    A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
    Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports
    Port
    Type
    Protocol
    Used By
    80
    TCP
    HTTP
    AirPlay

    49163
    UDP
    MDNS (Win)
    Bonjour/AirPlay
    Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
    Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
    If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them.

  • Home Sharing with iTunes 9 and Vista

    I just downloaded and installed iTunes 9 on both of my Vista boxes. I am trying to use the Home Sharing feature. I clicked on Advanced> Turn On Home Sharing. I enter my Apple account info and click Create Home Share. A box pops up that says Home Sharing could not be activated because this computer is not authorized for the account "myusername". Please authorize this computer and try again.
    So, I clicked on Store> Deauthorize computer.
    Then, I clicked on Store> Authorize computer.
    It gave me a pop up that says something like you have authorized two of your 5 available computers.
    I tried turning on Home Sharing again and still got the same error that this computer is not authorized.
    Then, I tried going to Store> Sign Out
    Then Store> Sign In and doing the deauthroize/authorize process again.. still same results.
    So, lastly, I tried going to Store> View My Account and deauthorizing ALL computers... so that reset my authorizations.
    Then I signed out of the store, signed back in, authorized both machines... still I get the error on both that the computer is not authorized so it cannot turn on Home Sharing.
    Any suggestions?

    in order for home sharing to work
    (a) iTunes on all machines must be authorized for the same iTunes store account
    (b) all machines must be on the same network
    (c) all machines must have access to the internet.

    All of your computers content are available in the AppleTV section called "Computer".  This is where you will find your music.
    The Music section of the AppleTV is only for those who subscribed to iTunes Match.
