TS2972 When I set up Home sharing on my computers they dont show up in Itunes on the left tab even though net work and internet are working

When I set up Home Sharing on my itunes account it still doesn't show up when I open itunes even though network and internet is fine

You can only share from a computer to another computer or device, so your iPad won't appear on your computer's iTunes but your computer's iTunes library should show under the More button in the iPad's Music app (assuming that home sharing is 'on' on both, iTunes is open on your computer and they are connected to the same wifi network). Is that not happening ?

TS2972 Can I set up home sharing using my ipad only - my computer is broken?

Can I set up home sharing using my ipad only - my computer is broken?

I believe the first requirement of home sharing is a computer using the latest version of iTunes http://www.apple.com/support/homesharing/getstarted/

TS2972 I have set up home sharing, but the option to sync music from my mac to our family pc is not available.

Hey guys, I have home shared before between our computers, but for some reason today it is not giving me the option. I have quit and re-opened itunes ten times, and it is still not cooperating. I have turned one and off home sharing, like ten times, and I have reactivated both computers for my devise.
HELP!
Thanks,
Heather

Is both computer on the same local network?
Is both computer iTunes authorize with the same AppleID (iTunes menu Store)?
Is Mac iTunes menu Advanced > Turn On Home Sharing, On? (Same AppleID again)

Correct, there's no shared folder option.
If the above are done right and both computer iTunes are up and running, you'll see in iTunes left panel the iTunes library of the other computer iTunes library.

TS2972 When I turn on home sharing, it only transfers some of my music, why??

HOw can I transfer everything?

Apologies did that and it worked thanks. Main issue was finding a portable drive with enough space.

The icon moves on my toolbar and bookmarks and all are gone on that version. When I try to open Firefox from my email, it tells me I don't have the latest version, even though I've downloaded it about three times in the last two days. What's the deal?

First I notice your icon was gone so I figured I'd moved it by mistake. I put it back, but most of my bookmarks were gone. I then noticed I had two icons, one on right side one on left of my Mac. Tried to download new version. Didn't work, went to preview? Weird. Tried the version that's for Yahoo. That seemed to work, my bookmarks were back, but today it says that's an old version and I must update if I want to open something from Firefox from my email. So I did and once again I had two icons on page. It has done this a couple times. So I'm going in circles. I've done nothing new to my less than 3-year-old iMac and have never had this problem or anything remotely like it before.

Did you manage to get it working mine disappeared after I while I managed to download it but now my laptop/iTunes won't recognise my iPhone!

Shared tab in left menu column does not show on one of the computers after setting up Home Sharing

For iTunes 10.3, I have set up home sharing on two computers that run windows 7, I have authorized both computers. The iTunes Shared link for computer 2 shows up on left column for computer 1(main iTunes computer). The problem I am having is that the Shared link for computer 1 DOES NOT show up on computer 2. My network between the both computers is working because I am able to pull/copy music files from computer 1 to computer 2. Why doesn't the Shared link for Computer 1 show up on Computer 2 Itunes left column? Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Nothing had changed when I plugged in my iPod at work today, having changed it to manage manually earlier at home. But after rebooting a few minutes ago, iTunes cranked up and updated the library. The library now appears below DEVICES/iPod on the menu instead of under LIBRARY/Music at the top left, which I'm pretty sure is different from before, but no matter. Also the iPod is still not appearing in My Computer but again, no matter. I am able to play my tunes on the work install of iTunes now and use iDump (which is a helluva lot less trouble than iTunes) to extract them.
Thanks again for all the help.

I had downloaded a movie from itunes to my ipad prior to getting Apple TV. Connected Apple TV and set up home sharing. Can I now watch movie that I previously rented on Itunes on Apple TV?

I had rented and downloaded movie from Itunes previous to purchasing and installing Apple TV. I set up home sharing with all computers and Ipad.
Can I now watch movie on Apple TV which I had previously downloaded? I tried to access on Apple TV but videos show as empty.

You cannot access the movie from the Apple TV screen. You would need to use airplay on the iPad to stream the video to the Apple TV.

Howdy Togifink,
I think I found the perfect article for you. Named Troubleshooting Home Sharing it can be found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2972.
1. Set up Home Sharing on all devices
2. Verify system requirements
3. Check your Apple ID
4. Check your network connection
5. Check Firewall Settings
6. Quit and reopen apps and iTunes
7. Restart your network router
8. Cannot access my library when my computer is asleep
Each step in the article is accompanied by screenshots and instructions but this is the basic over view of where the troubleshooting will take you.
Take care,
Sterling

Is the Import button greyed out?
If so ... quickly doublechecking ... do you currently have any items selected in the screen?

I set up home sharing but can't access the music on my iPhone

My Iphone was out of storage so I deleted downloaded music and set up home sharing where I supposedly could access music stored on my computer. It is supposedly set up correctly on my computer and my Iphone 4. Both have latest software. Instructions say to open music and then press more but when I open music app there is no "More" It just says "no content" and a link to Itunes Store. How do I get "More" to show up in my music app?

You need to configure computer iTunes to share. not just your computer.

Hi BFW99X,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The password used when setting up Home Sharing is your Apple ID password. If you're having trouble logging into iTunes with your Apple ID and password, reset the password by following the steps found here:
