As far as I know you don't need to turn off home sharing as such, however you will have lost one of the 5 "authorizations". You can't release these individually unless you are running iTunes on the authorized operating system you want to deauthorize.
You will have to wait until you have 5 authorizations, at which point you can clear them all and start over, reauthorizing the machines you want to.

How do i turn off home sharing and transfer my ITunes library to another computer?
Your music will only be where you put it. You can download the itunes program and sign into your account on any computer, but your music/content will not be there unless you put it there.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod. File>Transfer Purchases -

Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

Use 2nd gen apple tv and remote control app on iphones and ipad. We can control some functions on the apple tv but unable to purchase, access such controls as reset, restart, turn off home sharing, etc. Home sharing stuck on old apple ID. Please help.
That is why I said to restore via iTunes, did you check the link?
This will put it back to factory settings and you can set it up with the new ID once you reconnect with your HDTV. This is not done via ethernet, as per the link you need to connect to the computer via micro usb. You cannot bypass home sharing.
FYI: An Apple ID cannot be deleted so the old one would still exist (even if you no longer use the email account it is associated with). -
Cannot get home sharing to work with my new apple TV. Have the latest version of ITunes and the apple TV is connected to my wi-fi network. The instruction page says to go to the Advanced menu option of ITunes and choose Home Sharing. This option does not exist. The closest I can find is under the File option>Home Sharing where my only option is to turn off home sharing. There is no home sharing icon and Apple TV insist that the home sharing is not turned on.
I must be missing something obvious here.Cannot get home sharing to work with my new apple TV. Have the latest version of ITunes and the apple TV is connected to my wi-fi network.

How do I turn off the automated Adobe Cloud ID window that opens every time I turn on my computers. I want this annoying window to stop appearing. I do not and will not subscribe to "Adobe Cloud" but the program (all 197 MB) somehow found it's way onto both my computers. Nefarious at the least.
I'm afraid to uninstall the "adobe cloud" programs from my computers because I fear that they are linked to my stand alone version of cs6 and my somehow corrupt the operation of my cs6.
HELP. PLEASE.Have you installed any trial of Adobe CC because in all probability the auto prompt to purchase CC appears when the trial run ends.?
The stand alone version of CS6 is not going to be affected if you uninstall the trial CC.

I can't seem to get sharing set up. I set up my wife's iMac and I use a PC. When I click on the Library tab at the top right, I don't get the option of seeing the music library on her iMac.
Both libraries would need to have been setup to use home sharing with the same Apple ID in order for that to work.

Can you turn off home sharing on a computer that no longer works?
Had a laptop that died and it was authorized for home sharing. Looking at buying a new one and I'm already at the maximum level of allowable computers (5 of 5). Looking to see if there is a way to deactivate/deauthorize computers that are no longer being used. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Do you have iTunes match? You need a computer to manage an iTunes match library.

my dad just got an ipod touch and we used to share one user name and he wanted his own, now he wants to get his songs from my user to his without using CD's, i want to use the Home Sharing, but when i try to the icon disappears and i don't know how to use it.
With Firefox 23 and TabMixPlus 0.4.1.0 installed, an additional box is added to the Tabs options panel that allows 3 options for the tab bar:
*One is to '''Always''' hide the tab bar. I do not know whether future versions of TabMixPlus will remove that option. I have tested in Firefox 23 and it is possible to completely hide the tab bar regardless of the number of tabs open.
Other options added in the additional box with TabMixPlus 0.4.1.0 are:
*Never
*When I have only one tab -

I've turned off both home sharing and turned off the link from my computer to my remote via AppleTV but when I hit play on my remote to control appleTV, my itunes always opens and starts playing on my Macbook Pro. Has this happened to ahyone else? I cannot get it to stop. The only solution right now is to completely turn off my computer if I want to use appleTV.
Thanksdefault then remotes control all devices unless you bind it to a device you do that in settings
and home sharing don't have any impact on remotes -

my computer freezes as as i try to add home sharing
Hey there AndyLown,
It sounds like iTunes is becoming unresponsive when you enable Home Sharing. I recommend the troubleshooting from the following article named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Start here, and work your way to the other troubleshooting if you need it, in the article:
Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

I turned off home sharing but I'm still getting my other family members' stuff. How do I fix that?f
It says it's off but I'm still getting my other family members' stuff. Some of my family members think that it has something to do with the cloud.
Your other family member photos or music? If it is photos, you can check out this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4379

Home sharing refers specifically to sharing your own iTunes (music) library over your network. -
I just installed Apple TV. Works fine but turrns itself off at regular intervals of about 30 minutes. This requires me to re-enter my Apple ID and re-start all over again. Wjen I check iTunes on my computer, home sharing is still turned on. THis leads me to think the problem is in how I configured Apple TV on my HDTV. Any advice on where I should look?
THanks in advance.I have had no luck. After an hour with phone tech support I have re-installed the current Apple TV software update., re-booted the entire system three times., checked each of my two Airport Express's.,unplugged and re[plugged in every cable, ad infinitum, ad nauseum and still no luck. I have also decided iTunes 11 *****. Not near as intuitive especially with regard to moving stuff around between my playlists, etc.
Alright guys, is this a problem because of iTunes 11? Is Apple releasing stuff before adequate debugging? Did Steve take his high standards with him?

I've already posted this in the Bridge forum, but I thought it might just be relevant to ACR too, so here goes... I've just bought a Panasonic GF2. ACR support was introduced with 6.3, so I have no problems with opening its raw files in 6.3 or 6.4RC.
