  • Forgot home sharing password

    Hi, I forgot my home sharing password and have not been able to find how to reset it.  My apple id is fine but no password.

    Hello there, geradino.
    Your Home Sharing password is directly related to your Apple ID. The following Knowledge Base article explains that a bit more clearly:
    iTunes: How to share music and video
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2688
    Additionally under "Understanding the differences between Home Sharing and Music Sharing" we read:
    Home Sharing requires more setup, but allows you to transfer content to another computer or stream to other devices. It always requires your Apple ID and password to see the library and contents.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Home sharing password

    I forgot my home sharing password. I did it a long time ago and cannot remember it. Is there any way I can restore it?
    Tks!

    Just to clarify, both machines are on the same local network aren't they I.e. Both at your home and connected to the same router?
    If I was you I wouldn't use Shared Libraries but instead use Home Sharing. In iTunes go to Preferences and then the Sharing. Uncheck both Share My Library on my local network and also Look for Shared Libraries, and OK this.
    Now follow the instructions in the following article on both machines to enable Home Sharing. Use your iTunes Store username and password where prompted.

    Please help = how do I reset my home sharing password in Itunes ?

    Hi BFW99X,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    The password used when setting up Home Sharing is your Apple ID password. If you're having trouble logging into iTunes with your Apple ID and password, reset the password by following the steps found here:

  • TS2972 Apple tv an home sharing.

    Hi guys, home sharing is turned on on my iPad and my ID and password are correct, however once I go into computers on apple tv it's telling me to turn on home sharing on my computer, but as I said its on or so I thought Any help?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The first thing to check would be that both devices are on the same network, after checking this, ensure that any firewall or security software installed on your computer is not blocking access for iTunes.

  • Don't know Home Sharing password :-/

    Hi, just a bit stuck, have recently got a new laptop and trying to turn on the home sharing but I don't know what my password is, have tried all the passswords that I use for other things but none of them work. Is there any way I can have it e-mailed it to me or something?

  • Apple TV home sharing password re-entry

    I have a Mac Mini and an Apple TV, both on the same network (wired gigabit). Home sharing is turned on for both devices and I can view the Mac Mini from the Apple TV (via the "Computers" link). I can also stream iTunes purchased movies and content without any issues. So all good so far.
    From time to time I get prompted on the Apple TV to re-enter my Apple ID. This seems to coincide with a network outage, but I'm not certain, it may also coincide with power cycling one or both devices. Naturally if I try to recreate the conditions causing the password prompt everything works perfectly.
    Can anyone provide an insight as to when an Apple TV will prompt for re-entry of an Apple ID/password that is known to be valid? I'm being prompted when attempting to select video from the Mac Mini - not when I purchase content from iTunes.
    Thanks,
    Tony.

    Home sharing has nothing to do with Netflix.
    Power cycle the ATV if there are issues with the device not displaying the home screen properly.

  • Home Sharing password problem.

    I cannot connect to home sharing as it is saying that my password is incorrect. However, it is not as I am still able to sign into the iTunes store with it. Any ideas?
    iTunes 10.4.1
    Lion 10.7.1
    It will also not connect on my iPhone.

  • Home sharing password incorrect

    all of a sudden I cannot turn on home sharing through iTunes. I changed my password to 8 characters like it said, works for iTunes Store for purchases, but not for Home Sharing. Dont understand why it worked before and not now? Anyone out there can help me with this?

    Have had the exact same problem for weeks. Still unsolved, and i have bad news: apple couldn't care less.

    how to see my macbook air on the TV monitor after I finished home sharing for the system?

    Did you purchase your MacBook Air new?  Do you still have its box?  Locate its serial number and telephone Apple at the number shown at the bottom of this page (1-800-MY-APPLE if you're in the U.S.).  They can help you.

  • TS2972 can I use home sharing to transfer iTunes from old computer to new computer?

    can I use home sharing to transfer iTunes from old computer to new computer?

    You are trying to use home sharing, you are logged into the same account for sharing on both computers (and they are connected to the same wifi network), and what happens when you try to copy your library ? Can you update your iTunes so that they are the same on both ?

  • TS2972 Trying to use Home Sharing.  It says it's on on both computers, but my iTunes library on my old computer isn't showing up on or transferring to my new computer.  How can I fix this?

    Help me transfer my iTunes library to my new MacBook Pro!  Both computers are on, connected to the Internet, and have Home Sharing turned on but nothing is showing up on my new MacBook Pro.

    Well, if they are both on the network, just copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from one computer to the other in the same location and stop messing with home sharing.

  • TS2972 Bug:How can Home sharing be turned off and all items in my library cleared without my intervention? This is the SECOND time this happens since end of March 2013. A permanent solution will be appreciated

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