TS2972 My home sharing on itunes is on but can't see it on my apple tv... any one knows why... I checked every thing

My home sharing on itunes is on but can't see it on my apple tv any one knows why...?

It will allow your homesharing, airplay, airprint, propreitary apple networking support, and other features.  You should absolutely try to enable it.  Some routers, even when the ports are opened, just don't work perfectly with Bonjour broadcasts.  But you might be able to get it to work.   Look to see if anybody else with your router has already figured this out in the eircom forums.

  • I cannot connect to Home Sharing on iTunes, so that I can send movies and TV shows to another computer.  The other "library" does not come up in the box on the upper right side of the iTunes screen.  I tried disconnecting each computer from Home Sharing.

    I cannot connet to Home Sharing on iTunes, so that I can send movies and TV shows to another computer.  I cannot find the name of the other computer in the "Library" box on the upper right side of the iTunes screen.  Do I need to have the other computer connected to the Cloud?

    Mkae sure you have enabled Home Sharing using the same AppleID on both computers.

  • The home sharing always turn off when i try to see movie on my apple tv

    Home sharing turns off when i try to watch movies on my apple tv

    If your Apple TV is connected to your network via wi-fi, it could boil down to a range / signal quality issue.  Are you able to stream any other services to the Apple TV without issues?  If possible, connect the Apple TV with ethernet cable and see if that resolves your issue.

  • 2 Macs sharing an external hard drive, but can't see each other's music

    We bought a 300GB Lacie external hard drive, and pointed each Mac's iTunes to the same folder on that drive. Then the computer asked to "consolidate," which means copying all the music on each to that shared folder--which is great so far. But then in iTunes one Mac can only see the music it copied to that folder, and the other can only see the music it copied over. If I go into Finder, I can see both of our music, but in iTunes, no. There is some purchased iTunes music, but mostly just our own CDs.
    What happened, and what can I do? Thanks!

    Each computer (actually, each user account on each computer) has its own iTunes Library, which is a directory file. Moving computer A's music files to the new hard drive resulted in the Library file being updated to show the new location of the music that already was part of the Library. Moving computer B's files to that same location didn't affect computer A's iTunes Library file.
    On each computer, you'll need to use the Add to Library command (or do the equivalent by dragging music folders from the Finder onto the Library icon in the Source panel of iTunes) to get all the music into your Libraries.
    If the Copy files to iTunes Music Folder when adding to Library preference is ON (under Advanced\General of iTunes Preferences), then when you add music to your library, those files will be copied to the location in iTunes Music Folder location, if they're not already there. You may want to check these settings to make sure you won't end up with extra copies of music files in locations you hadn't intended.

  • HT4211 Does any one know why my air play tv icon is missing from the recents bar.. It is now on the top of the screen when I press the home button twice. How do I get it back on the bottom recents bar

    Does anyone know why the airplay TV icon has moved from the recents bar, mine has now gone to the top of the screen. How do I get it back to the recents bar?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

  • "Connect to Computer. Use iTunes to Restore" but can't 'see' it in iTunes

    I got the error message on my iPod -- "Connect to Computer. Use iTunes to Restore iPod." Problem is, when I try to connect to my computer, it asks if I want to restore it with iTunes, I say yes, but iTunes doesn't 'see' the iPod, so I can't restore.
    The iPod just sits with "Do not disconnect" on it and the battery icon moving. I'm dead in the water.
    Any ideas?

    You might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

    If that works, then you should be able to attempt a restore.

  • Just installed itunes successfully but know will not start, i a on windows 8, any one know why

    cannot start itunes in window 8, why?

    Hello there,
    It sounds like you are unable to launch iTunes after installing it on your PC. I found this article for you to help troubleshoot what you are seeing here named:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
    Start with troubleshooting iTunes for 3rd party plug ins with this section:
    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.
    When you have done that, if the issue persists there are additional steps in the article to help isolate the issue and proceed according to those steps if needed.

  • TS2972 access your itunes on apple tv, turn on home sharing in itunes on your computer using "iTunes account"

    I've had the apple tv 2 since the week it came out and haven't had much trouble with it until now. I haven't changed anything with my network settings. I have noticed the apple tv light seems to turn on at random times now when not being used. Now just about every time I try to access my iTunes library I get "To access your itunes on apple tv, turn on home sharing in itunes on your computer using (my account name)". My iTunes library is not listed. If I restart iTunes my computer with iTunes open will now be listed but when I select it it tries to connect them errors out. If I restart the computer then everything works fine. That is until next time I try to connect and I have to do it all over again. I don't want to have to restart my computer every time I use the apple tv. Any idea why this just started happening? Everything has worked until now. Bug in the latest iTunes maybe?
    Thanks.

    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.

  • TS2972 I keep getting "turn on home sharing in iTunes" when I try to access my library. If I got the pc and disable / enable it works for a while. It promptly returns.

    I only noticed this issue when I added a second apple tv to my network last night.
    I keep getting the error message "turn on home sharing in iTunes". This is already enabled however i have to keep disabling this and then re-enabling it to get it to work.  This solution is short lived as this error returns randomly within an hour.
    I believe apple have introduced a bug with the last iTunes release.
    It's very annoying....I would love to  know who tested this rubbish at apple !!
