TS2972 On old computer, Home Share Icon not appearing.

On my old computer, the home share icon doesn't appear at all. Why isn't it showing up? I've done everything in the steps, but this icon doesn't appear.

  • HT202213 home sharing icon not appearing

    Although my home sharing in my apple tv was working up until we had problems with our internet (now fixed), I am now having problems!  Although it says turn on home sharing there is no icon in my itunes library to turn on!

    If the Home Sharing icon is not visible, choose Advanced > Turn On Home Sharing from the menu bar. (You can disable or enable Home Sharing for your computer using the Advanced menu.)
    Note: After enabling Home Sharing, the Home icon representing your computer is no longer visible.

    You'll have to contact the developer about this. Apple doesn't make this app;

  • The Home share icon has disappeared

    I Have had apple TV  for a week now, yesterday the home share icon dissapeared from the top of the page on my MAC air. I can stream Music and share photo's with Pioneer TV but cannot share anything viewd on my Mac. Apple tv is otherwise working fine ? Any help appreciated.

    Hi oggy60,
    I recommend checking out this article of troubleshooting steps for when the AirPlay icon is missing:
    Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4215
    The icon will only appear if your device or computer is logged onto a Wi-Fi network which has an AirPlay-enabled recipient, such as Apple TV (2nd generation or 3rd generation).
    If you are still unable to see the AirPlay icon, try one of the following steps:
    Verify that your AirPlay-enabled devices have the most up-to-date software or firmware.
    Verify that your iOS device has Wi-Fi turned on. Enable Wi-Fi on your iOS device by going to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    Verify that all your AirPlay-enabled devices are logged on to the same home Wi-Fi network (check the home network names on your devices to confirm).
    If trying to AirPlay, or AirPlay mirror, to your Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation), ensure that AirPlay is enabled on your Apple TV as well. You can enable or disable AirPlay on Apple TV in the AirPlay menu: Settings > AirPlay
    Check Internet or network connectivity on all affected devices.
    Temporarily disable firewalls (both network and local) and security software. Security software and firewalls may block ports that AirPlay uses to stream content. You can often resolve issues with security software by updating, correctly configuring, or uninstalling security software.
    If attempting to use AirPlay from a third-party app or a website from your Safari app on your iOS device, confirm that the app or website is AirPlay compatible (refer to the developers of the app or website for additional information). 
    I hope this helps!

  • How do I sync my Ipod Classic 160gb with my new computer (windows 8). It synced with my old computer (windows XP) but not with my new one (windows8)

    How do I sync my Ipod Classic 160gb with my new computer (Windows8).? It synced with my old computer (WindowsXP) but will not do so on the new computer?

    Hi Lechwe,
    I had this issue recently, due to changing HD for an SSD.
    In my case, since the library in my iPod was synced to the HD it was not syncing to the library in the SSD, though they were the same (had the same contents).
    I found there's this checkbox in iTunes > iPod > [Settings] Music, called "Sync Music". Mine was unchecked, I guess due to iPod being synced to the old library. I marked the checkbox and clicked then in Sync. iTunes asked me if I was sure I wanted to sync the iPod with the "new" library, i clicked yes, and the it started determining the song to sync. Since the library was essentially the same (just a couple songs more in the new one), it synced the couple new songs and that was it.
    Hope it helps!
    Regards,
    Awlo.

  • How do you get your library off your old computer if it will not turn on?

    how do you get your library off your old computer if it will not turn on?

    You can extract the drive; put it into an external enclosure to mount it to another computer by USB or FireWire (if available) to acess the files. Copy and paste (Windows-style) or drag and drop (Mac-style) to another destination-- another external HDD or another computer.

    Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

    I have used Illustrator CS3 on my two try or three previous computers. Now I try to install Illustrator CS3 on a my new (4 weeks old) computer.

  • Your computer's timezone does not appear to match your user setting of

    I get this message on a top bar: "Your computer's timezone does not appear to match your user setting of (GMT- 06:00) Chicago. ''Click here'' to update your settings. Alternatively, ''hide'' this message.
    My computer timezone is not Chicago. Why is Firefox giving me this error? Should I just hide it and ignore it? Well, there were a few error with a web app I am developing related to 1 hour off inputs. Something is wrong. Any guesses?

    Figured out the issue and can reproduce it; it has to do with a particular website: support.atlassian.com; one gets there if they have purchased any of the company's products.
    I will let them know and let it go. Thanks :)
