TS2972 I STILL cannot connect to my 2nd home computer with Home Sharing

Both of our computers are Toshiba. I have authorized both of them and they show up as parts of the Home Sharing network. However, Neither of our computers show up on the other and I can't figure it out!

  • ITunes reinstalled on win 7x64 but still cannot enable bonjour services for home sharing any ideas

    i am trying to reenable home sharing - but bonjour services will not reenable in services although it is stating it has - tried to uninstall and reinstall all apple products/services but still no joy
    in preferences -  the Bonjour Services has bee ndisables - bonjour is required to share music with others please re-enable the services to use this feature.
    in services is shows started
    Any ideas
    Dont know if this is also related.  But I couldnt get my iphone to sync anymore so it is now synced to laptop soon to be macbook and my apple TV is also an issue and wont work
    Not having much luck here
    Thanks in advance Del

    Sorry for reply to post but I have a new development.  I can get it to work from my laptop if it's connected wireless but as soon as I hard wire it to the router Home share is gone.  Desktop is of course hard wired to the router to get the Gigabit upload speed so I've at least narrowed it down to the hard wiring upload.

  • I - STILL - Cannot connect to the Itunes Store

    I am unable to connect to the Itunes store, I could connect to the radio stations, I checked the SSL and TSL setting under Internet Explorer Options, Not using proxy or any Computer based firewall, and on my router firewall I tried opening up ports 53, 5353, 443 and 3689, and even tried DMZ the box, but for no use... I still cannot connect to the store, and frankly, it is getting ridiculous. Can anyone help? maybe the neededs ports or something...

    Firewall Information
    Windows Firewall is off.
    Connection attempt to Apple web site was successful.
    Connection attempt to iTunes Store was successful.
    Secure connection attempt to iTunes Store was successful.
    Secure connection attempt to iPhone activation server was successful.
    iTunes has never successfully accessed iTunes store.

    I don't think it is a firewall issue as the connection attempts were not blocked according to the network connectivity report.
    These ones have been tricky to solve.
    As a first stab, one thing you could try is to create a new Windows account and see if you can connect from there.
    P.S. I noticed that the date on the report is not the same as the date of your post. This may just be when your ran the report, but it is worth checking your computer's date and time are correct.
    You could also check the Advanced tab in your Internet options. If "Check for server certificate revocation" is checked. If it is, try unchecking it.

  • I have windows 7 64 bit, Core i5, I have tried every option identified in the discussion groups but still cannot connect to the iTunes Store, any ideas?

    I have a brand new Core i5 Windows 64bit laptop, but cannot connect to the iTunes Sore.  I have tried every solution suggested in the discussion groups but I still cannot connect.  This includes completely removing all security and firewalls, and I still cannot connect.  I have re-load the software in different combinations again to no avail.  Any ideas anyone?

    Could you walk us through what happens (when you try to connect to the Store) in some more detail, please?

  • I have read all of the similar issues on this site and I still cannot connect my airport extreme (although there is no problem with my old airport express - help...

    i have read all of the numerous and similar issues on this subject.  and i still cannot connect my new airport extreme.  my old airport express works fine still.  help.  and why are there so many issues with connecting this stuff?  i thought this stuff was supposed to be getting easier, not harder... thanks.

    Sorry, but I have no idea on what you have read and tried so far so please forgive me for any redundancy.
    Is your AirPort Extreme the only router in your current network configuration? Which exact model is it? If there are other routers being used, please provide their make(s) & model(s). Also the make & model of your Internet modem.
    What is your goal with the Extreme? Is it to replace the "old" AirPort Express? Will you still be using the Express for any reason(s)?

  • TS1368 Done all of the above...everything is in order, still cannot connect to the store.  I have the 5th gen iPod and $50 iTunes gift card.  I am going to return both of these items it I cannot find a fix for this.

    Make sure that you can access the Internet on your computer or device.
    Make sure that your computer meets the iTunes minimum system requirements.
    Make sure that your operating system is up-to-date:

    When I called Apple (after wating 42 min. for a live person) I was told to run the APPLE Software Update and turn off location services then restart my computer.  There were no available updates. The iPod touch I got on Christmas day.  The iTunes app was downloaded the same day.  Since day 1 I have not been able to connect.  I also followed lllaass's advice and followed instructions on the following 2 websites.

    After restarting my computer:
    From the iTunes app I click on the 'iTunes Store'
    A new window opens and I get the following message:
    This Apple ID has not yet veen used with the iTunes Store.
    Please review your account information
    So I click on 'Review' and am taken to a crude screen that says
    Welcome to the iTunes Store
    With an Apple ID, you can download the latest music, videos, and more.
    To begin creating your Apple ID, click Continue.
    So I click on 'Continue'
    A pop up window says:
    We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-1202).
    There was an error in the iTunes Store.  Please try again later.
    And the only option I am left with is to click 'OK'
    After every fix this same scenerio just loops and loops and loops

  • TS1368 Still cannot connect to iTunes after reading article

    Even though I am allowing iTunes through my windows 7 firewall,  I still cannot connect to the iTunes store.  When I run the iTunes diagnostics it tells me that the firewall is blocking iTunes but that is not true.  I am running the latest version of iTunes.
    I have gone through every step of the instructions here dealing with this problem but nothing is working.  Does anybody know how to get iTunes to work with Windows 7?  I am using Microsoft Security Essentials as my antivirus program in case that helps.
    David

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • TS1398 I did everything you are recommend to do and still cannot connect to the network. "Unable to join network" shows up even that is a university network working for other users - students and staff. I am very unhappy with my new iphone 5 :(

    I did everything recommended on apple store support site and still cannot connect to the network with my new iphone 5 but my co-workers and students (I work for the university) can keep connectivity all the time. I am very unhappy with my new phone

    Be patient, Apple is coming out with a update soon, its been reported that they have sent the update to the carriers to test, which means it will be soon. And is suppose to address this issue.

  • Hi all. I have upgraded to 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on my Mac Pro but still cannot connect to App store  to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Any advice?

    Hi all, I have upgraded to 10.6.8 Snow leopard on my Mac Pro but still cannot connect to App store.  I want to connect to upgrade to Mountain Lion but ony get the message "you are not connected to App store"  or "Check your internet connections, error -52". My internet is working OK for everything else.Any advice?

    Then I will have to assume a faulty installation.
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • Cannot connect to wifi on desktop computer w/ Windows Vista

    So as stated above, I cannot connect to the Airport Extreme wifi with my Sony Vaio desktop computer. My iMac, iPhone, PS Vita, and all other device can connect to it easily, but when trying to connect to the internet using my Sony Vaio desktop, I cannot. At first it showed up on the list of available connections, but then after calling TWC, they did something and it let it connect to the internet "with limited access". But after my father tinkered with it to try and give the computer full access, it cannot connect again.
    In short: My Sony Vaio desktop computer running Windows Vista cannot connect to my Airport Extreme. So could anyone please help?

    Did you try plugging in by ethernet?? Just to be sure there wasn't some fundamental issue.
    If it works by ethernet and not wireless, then this is not at all unusual. Vista has the worst wireless drivers ever developed along with the worst wireless management.. an upgrade to XP or Win7 is strongly encouraged. .either direction is an upgrade.
    Make sure the AE has all SMB compatible names..
    Short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Do not use apple names with spaces and apostrophe.
    Use wpa2 Personal security with a password of 10-20 characters again pure alphanumeric.
    Use fixed wireless channels, try 1, 6, 11 in turn.
    No improvement download the latest intel drivers (or whatever wireless card your laptop uses) direct from Intel. If that doesn't work try some earlier releases.. not always the latest is bestest.

    Typically this indicates a device that has been hacked to be unlocked or jailbroken.

  • Why can't Apple TV's and iOS devices see home sharing on my Windows 7 computer when iTunes libraries on other computers on the same network and connected to the same Home Sharing can?

    I have never previously had any problems with Home Sharing, I have always found it to be completely reliable as advertised. I have 2 computers in the house, (one MacBook and one Windows Desktop) connected to the same Home Sharing account, connected to the same BT Home Hub 4. My situation is that I have nearly 2TB of data of which I would like to share with the home wirelessly, in my mind the desktop is the logical place for this to be shared from.
    When running, iTunes on this desktop broadcasts to other iTunes libraries, but no other iOS devices or Apple TV's connected to the same Home Sharing account cannot see it.
    I have tried turning Home Sharing off, and then turning it back on, closing iTunes, restarting the computer, going to Network and Sharing Centre and unticking IPv6 in the network adapter properties, even completely wiping the computer and reinstalling Windows 7.
    One of the Apple TV's in the house was recently purchased by my parents with the promise from me that everything would work seamlessly... so far it isn't and I am frustrated that the Apple technology that I have come to rely on isn't working as expected.
    One thing that has occurred to me upon writing this is that it is a very large amount of data, and I have not attempted to share this with another computer that is currently working and broadcasting it's Home Share fine.
    I am sorry if I have ommitted any important details, any further questions don't hesitate to ask. I would be so grateful of any suggestions, my parents are depending on me.

    I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem.  The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6.  (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
    So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
    You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
    Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!
