  • 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 I have turned on Home Sharing on my sister's HP and my MacBook Pro but there is no share section on either of our iTunes. Where did the share option go?

    I am trying to use the Home Sharing capabilities on my MacBook and my sister's HP Envy. I have turned Home Sharing both On and Off via Advance in the drop down from the top menu. When I turn Home Sharing Off then back On, it asks me for the Apple ID so I provide the same one on both then it tells me a little blurb about Home Sharing and I hit Done then the Share section on the left side of iTunes disappears. Where does it go and how do I make it come back? Thanks for yor help!

    Have you worked through all the troubleshooting steps in the document from which the question was posted?  If not... go back and work through all the troubleshooting steps.

  • When I click iTunes Home Sharing, it only shows up on my computer. How do I get it to show up on the TV?

    I Just got an Apple TV and when I click on 'Computers' it tells me I need to connect to Home Sharing. Once I do on my computer and TV, then it only shows up on my Computer, not the TV. How do i get it to show up on my TV?

    Have you enabled home sharing on the ATV?

  • 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 !!

  • The last apple tv upgrade now has no home sharing. When I click on "Computers" there is nothing and a pop up tells me to turn on Home Sharing in I Tunes. It is turned on.

    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.

  • 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.

  • New Apple TV- get error -3150 when trying to turn on home sharing

    I bought an  ATV2-can't get home sharing on, won't accept Apple ID, can't make anything work.  Rebooted Airport extreme,  two computers, no help....spent two hours on two different occassions yesterday at Genius Bar where ATV2 worked perfectly.  Get error message 3150 when password is not accepted.

    Me neither... But my home haring did just come back after signing in and out of iTunes and trying to turn on home sharing....judging by the popularity of this issue right now and the older posts on the subject, it would seem that it's some kind of glitch with the apple servers.

  • When I try to turn on Home Sharing, I get the message: "Home Sharing could not be turned on because of an error (5506)." What does this mean please?!

    I had the same error it was due to a program called Little Snitch, it's somewhat like a firewall.  I changed the settings in Little Snitch to allow network connections in iTunes and now I can enable Home Sharing.  Maybe you should try changing some firewall settings.

  • What can I do when I cannot turn off home sharing to other devices?

    I just bought an iMac (my first) and when I tried to turn on home sharing, it told me that I would need to deactivate home sharing on another device. My other devices (an ex-boyfriend's computer, a crashed/dead HD laptop, a crashed/dead Dell desktop...) cannot be reached to turn off...what to do??? Many thanks for your help!

    Go to Settings>General>Usage. How much space does it show you have?
    If you connect your phone to your computer, what does iTunes say is on your phone? Do you see a large amount of "Other"? If so, you may have a corrupted database. You'll need to sync your phone then restore it as NEW (not from back up) then re-sync your data).

    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...

    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
