TS2972 Trouble with Home Sharing on new computer.

I just got a 2nd computer and wanted to be able to play my music from my other computer on this one while I work.  Both computers are on the same network.  I installed iTunes on the new computer, authorized my account, then turned on Home Sharing on both computers.  I can see each computer on the other, but I can't actually access anything on the new computer.  I just click on the other computer's name, it thinks for a while, then goes back to just the new computer's empty library.  On the other computer, I can see the new computer and when I click on it on that computer, it comes up just fine.  I can't seem to find any settings that are different on one or the other, so I'm stumped.  I can even see my wife's computer on the new computer under Sharing, and I can usually pull up her stuff too, but the same thing happens - it just thinks for a while, then goes away.
Any idea what's going on here??
Thanks!

I've seen several other people ask this same question, but not one single reply.  What gives??

  • Trouble with Home Sharing/Airplay from Mac

    I am having an issue trying to access my computer through 2nd gen Apple TV. The software on the device is up to date. I am running OS X Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro with up to date iTunes. I am trying to watch a video in my iTunes library but it will not let me access my computer with home sharing. I have made sure that both devices have home sharing turned on and using the correct account. I am also unable to access my iTunes library with my iPad or iPhone. I have done this successfully in the past so I'm not sure what is causing this. Oh, it also wont let me airplay from iTunes on my Mac to the apple tv.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Same here. iPhone, Mac Mini and Apple TV3 are all up to date. Logged in and out on each device and home sharing and airplay still don't work at all. Nothing shows up in the remote app. They're all on the same network and have been. The only thing I can think of is the most recent ATV firmware update, but why would my phone be unable to see my computer??
    Any secret commands to try?

  • Trouble with Home sharing on iPad, 3rd generation

    I am trying to use Home Sharing to bring across my iTunes Music Library and Playlists to my iPad, third generation, IOS 6.1.3.  I have filled in the HOME SHARING APPLE ID and PassworD in Settings -> Music.  But according to two textbook references: 'My iPad', Gary Rosenzweig and iPad, the missing manual', J.D. Biersdorfer, both references state I should next click a 'More' button, which should provide me a listing of devices which I can select from to get a iTunes Library.  I do not have a 'more' button.  I have signed off and and re-logged back on and I still do not get a 'more' button.  Can anyone tell me if I have missed a step or was misinformed?

    I have one network router.  I have 5 devices that connect to the router; a G3/G4 B/W PPC connected via an ethernet cable, IMac PPC connected via ethernet, MacBook 2,0 connected via ethernet, Apple TV connected via WiFi, and the iPad (3rd Generation) connected via WiFi. Home Sharing is turned on in the G3/G4 PPC, MacBook 2,0 and the iPad using the same Apple ID.  I was able to Home Share between the G3/G4 PPC and the MacBook, but not the PPC and the iPad.
    I hope this helps you isolate my problem

    Hi there J1750oe,
    You may find the information in the article below helpful.
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
    Transferring playlists
    If you want not only your content but also your playlists to exist on your new computer, you will want to transfer a copy of all your playlists from your old computer. To do this, choose File > Library > Export Library on your old computer. Save the XML file that is created to your desktop.
    Send the playlists file to yourself as an e-mail attachment, use an external drive, or use file sharing to move the playlists file to your new computer. Once the file is on your new computer, open iTunes and choose File > Library > Import Playlist. The import process will remove any items from the playlists that you didn't share via Home Sharing.

  • TS2972 I have an old computer that died, how do I turn off home sharing on that computer so that I can gain back 1 of my 5 shares for my new computer?

    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.

  • HT4352 I'm using the correct APPLE ID and password for Home Sharing on my computer but my AppleTv is not accepting it?  What's up with that???

    I'm using the correct APPLE ID and password for Home Sharing on my computer but my AppleTv is not accepting it?  What's up with that???

    I have the exact same issue. I also tried resetting my password. I can log in to iTunes on my laptop with the new password, on to my iPhone iTunes, but my Apple TV says it cannot recognize my password. I just did an Apple Tv software update a few days ago.
    I am able to log in to Netflix on my Apple TV just fine. I did not have to re-enter my password for that.
    Very frustrating. I hope Apple can figure this out soon and post a fix.
    Thanks for any advice.  Cheers.

  • I SET UP THE HOME SHARING ON MY COMPUTER, AND i CAN STREAM MY PHOTOS AND SEE ALL THE VIDEOS AND LISTEN SONGS IN MY ITUNES, BUT CAN NOT DO HOME SHARING, ON THE TV, ALWAYS SHOWS "TURN ON HOME SHARING ON YOUR OMPUTER WITH YOUR ID WHICH I DID BUT NOTHING HELP

    I just bought my apple tv yesterday and SET UP THE HOME SHARING ON MY COMPUTER, I CAN STREAM MY PHOTOS AND SEE ALL THE VIDEOS AND LISTEN SONGS IN MY ITUNES, BUT CAN NOT DO HOME SHARING, ON THE TV, ALWAYS SHOWS "TURN ON HOME SHARING ON YOUR OMPUTER WITH YOUR ID WHICH I DID BUT NOTHING HAPPEN. WHAT'S WRONG? WHAT SHALL I DO NOW?

    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!

    Hi Wikowiko!
    If you want to be able to control your Apple TV through your iPad, you will want to download a free app from Apple called Remote. An article we have published online can help you understand more of the features of the Remote app, and can be found here:

    AirPort Express wireless connection, when I surf the news sites so I linked to **** pages. And must close the window. If I use my iPhone with Internet sharing the same computer, then I have no problem.
    I believe that it is in AirPort Express, and would have to clean it. How do you do that?

    You need to use the Express in router mode.. I think you are trying to use it in bridge mode.. but you need to give us a lot more details.. screenshots might help more than anything.
