I am trying to set up home sharing between my iphone 4s and mac which is running itunes 11. Both are connected to my home wifi network and using the same apple id but on the iphone app it says 'Turn on Home sharing in iTunes on your computer or apple tv using account ***
Does anybody have suggestions as to why this is the case?Understanding Home Sharing - Support - Apple
Hope this helps. -
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 !!I only noticed this issue when I added a second apple tv to my network last night.

Iphone 5. Anything else I can try? Itunes and iphone and the app are all up to date.
I brought my macbook air at home, everything worked perfectly: iPhone, iPad and Apple TV can connect. So basically I guessed that the issue was coming from the iMac, something preventing it to be discovered. I've checked the bonjour broadcasting and oh, surprise, the iMac wasn't broadcasting... Weird because it's a setup from a Time Machine, the environment I am running currently on the macbook air.
Anyway, if this can help someone else:
I've ran:
ps aux | grep mDNS
and saw that for the iMac the daemon was launched with the argument -NoMulticastAdvertisements.
I've setup the daemon to run back as normal and restarted the computer:
sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder ProgramArguments -array /usr/sbin/mDNSResponder -launchd
After the reboot, everything works flawlessly (it has never worked before for the 6 months I had the Apple TV).
Also interesting discovery and I think it's new because I don't remember being able to do that before, but some of my devices are on the separate 5Ghz network, some are on the 2.4Ghz and they can still all communicate flawlessly. I can use AirPlay on the Export Express that is on the 2.4 from the iMac that is on the 5Ghz, and I can access the iMac library from whatever band. Pretty nice! -
I am currently using Verizon Fios as my ISP. I had my mail set up as verizon yahoo mail. I was attempting to set up my iPad mini to get my mail under apple mail.

I have just done an upgrade on Apple TV. When I try to play my music on my TV now I click on "computers" and get a message to turn on home sharing in itunes. Home sharing is turned on. I get a message "cannot find ..........library. Any help anyone please.
I had this problem too. My PC is connected to my router via an ethernet cable and my Apple TV is connected via wireless. When I phoned Apple they said that my router was probably sending the signals via two different sub networks, one for ethernet and one for wireless and so the Apple TV couldn't see my computer (It's like they are on different connections). I didn't really understand how my router was setting up sub networks but when I connected my Apple TV via ethernet it works fine and then stops again when I use wireless. I restarted my router and it was ok so I then went into my router settings and selected to always use the same channel for the Apple TV. So far it has worked everytime I've switched on.

Disk Utility has Lost Connection with the Disk Managment Tool
Hi,
For starters, this problem is not associated with the thread that Brian Z. has posted at the top of this forum. Having said that, here's my problem:
I had installed Security Update 2006-003, and Quicktime 7.1. Permissions were repaired before and after each installation, and all went well.
Some hours later, I was experimenting with Apple Remote Desktop. I had activated ARD in the System Preferences>Sharing pane, and it provided me an IP address associated with ARD. I then turned on Airport, and ARD provided me with an IP address associated with that connection. However when I turned off my modem connection, System Preferences>Sharing hung, and had to be Force Quit.
Console Log follows:
===== Mon May 15 2006 ===== 21:09:09 America/Anchorage =====
2006-05-15 21:09:17.488 System Preferences[2732] Can't open input server /Library/InputManagers/Menu Extra Enabler.bundle
2006-05-15 21:09:28.224 System Preferences[2732] ### Error:268435460 File:FileSharing.m Line:308
2006-05-15 21:09:38.230 System Preferences[2732] ### Error:268435460 File:FileSharing.m Line:343
2006-05-15 21:09:48.415 System Preferences[2732] ### Error:268435460 File:FileSharing.m Line:343
Thinking a plist had become corrupted, I trashed the following:
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist
com.apple.Remotemanagement.plist
com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist.
System Preferences started out very slowly, but then all the panes except Sharing would work ok.
I booted from the install disk and performed a Disk Repair. There were no problems reported.
When I tried to run a Repair Permissions, after about 20 seconds I got the, "Disk Utility has lost connection with the disk management tool and can not continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility."
I quit D.U. and the Installer, and was able to successfully run a Repair Permissions from the D.U. in my Utilities folder. It had no problems to report.
Continuting to troubleshoot the System Preferences problem, I then trashed the com.apple.preferencepanes.cache. This solved my System Preferences>Sharing problem.
However, I am still unable to perform a Repair Permissions after booting from my install disk (I get the subject message). Repairing permissions from the Disk Utility in my Utilies folder works fine.
Any thoughts out there on a logical way to troubleshoot where my problem is? Is there a way to get a console log when I'm running DU from the install disk, or a comparable source??
Thanks,
BobI found this crash log that was generated about the time I had problems with System Preferences hanging.
Thoughts?

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. -
Disk Utitlity has "Lost Connection" with Disk Management tool"
[ Edited by Apple Discussions Moderator; please start a new topic about your technical issue. ]
Running OSX10.3.8
I installed:
"iTunes" (6.0.2)
"iPod Updater 2005-11-17" ((null))
"iChat Update" (2.1)
Went to repair disk permissions
I get this error:
Disk Utitlity has "Lost Connection" with Disk Management tool" Please quit Disk Utility.
then it says quitting Disk Utility may render the disk useless. Stopping the scan just gives a "stopped by User" red text message in the DU screen.
Had to Quit. No other way out.
Now it will not repair "or" verify Disk permissions at all.
What to do?
Powermac G4 1.25ghz, OS9/OSX Mac OS X (10.3.8)Getting the same results booting off of the install CD. I even ran fsck -y after a soft boot(command S). Note I also installed the iPod updater and iChat update.
I'm getting a crash log that has to do with DiskManagement
Path: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiskManagement.framework/Resources/DiskManage mentTool
I tossed the pref file for Disk utility and tried to locate a pref for the Disk Management but nada...
Is there a prefs file that needs to be tossed?
Anyone do a recent Onyx Maintainence cleaning?
Is there a way to do an iTunes Uninstal and reinstall a previous version?

It asks me, in apple tv when I go to my "Library" to turn on home sharing. It's on. When I turn it off and back on I can access my itunes stuff fine for a day or two and then it doesn't work again. I've tried unplugging appletv, reboot the router (att uverse), and then plug in apple tv again and it doesn't help. it's still give me the message. the only thing that works, temporarily, is to turn off home sharing and turn it back on.
I'm using itunes version 10.5.0 on windows 7. can someone help me with this? I can't run up and down the stairs all the time. I have bad knees and other conditions that stop me from doing that. Please help.
Thanks.
Jim.Hey all,
I've been having similar problems so I put a packet analyzer on the network to see what's really happening. (Apologies in advance if this post is too techno-babbly...)
Some background:
How do Apple devices find each other over the network?
iTunes with home shaing turned on sends out a message to a special IP address called a multicast (224.0.0.251, in this case.) All your Apple devices listen to this multicast address and respond over that same address. This process applies to iTunes, AppleTV and Apple Remote at least (those are the things I've been testing with.)
How do Apple devices communicate with each other once they're found?
Once they find each other, they establish a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) communication session. This connection is only between two devices. In this case, iTunes and AppleTV or Apple Remote and AppleTV. The TCP session is how data gets transferred between devices.
The problem:
I captured the protocol traffic between my PC and AppleTV first with the firewall software turned off. In my case, I use Norton 360. What I see is iTunes and AppleTV communicating over the multicast address every 100 seconds. My iTunes usually 'disappears' from AppleTV and the Apple Remotes within about 5 minutes so I left the firewall off for half an hour and everything worked fine. I turned the firewall software back on and then restarted everything. iTunes then did the device discovery and all the devices found each other. Then, after a period of about five minutes of inactivity, the multicast discovery protocol stopped being sent by my PC. Why? I really don't know. From watching the apple protocol's timing, contents and behavior, I see nothing wrong with the implementation. I've done troubleshooting on other location-based multicast protocols for work and have seen some dumb things but Apple's protocol is done correctly and behaves exactly as I would expect.
The solution:
I put a rule into my firewall software explicitly allowing the multicast IP address and also the local subnet that my devices use. I then moved the new firewall rules to the top of the list to ensure that they will be 'hit' before any of the other rules in the list. After that, I left the firewall on and tested for a while then left everything idle for an hour. When I came back, everything still worked. I would suggest that replacing your firewall software won't necessarily help you here. You just need to make sure that the rules for the Apple stuff are put in manually and are at the very top so that another deny rule in the list doesn't trigger before the new permit rules. Hopefully it goes without saying but doing the above leaves your PC completely wide open on the local network so, if you use wireless, please be sure to use encryption on it.
Hope that helps... -
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.
