Turned on home sharing on two computers, but shared library isn't coming up.
Two computers have home sharing turned on with the same apple user name and id, but the library can't be viewed by the 2nd computer. Any ideas?

I've been able to set up home sharing on two computers but the library doesnt show up on the second computer? Both computers have homeshare enabled.
Hello scollins60,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
"Error -3150"
This alert is often related to a lost connection to the iTunes Store.
If you encounter this alert and you have verified you have a connection to the Internet using Wi-Fi, please reviewAirPort and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference.
If the issue persists, and you're using iTunes for Windows, you may need to flush your DNS and remove pop-up or ad-blockers.
Finally, this can occur due to timeouts caused by security software.
Best of luck,

I have turned Home Sharing on for two computers, but the "Shared" area is not appearing on either computer. What does this mean? What do I do? I am trying to get music from one library into another library to sync with my ipod so that I can have all songs on the ipod from both libraries.
Thank you for your help!If you have the horizontal menu bar showing (File, Edit, View,...), select View, then select Show Sidebar.
If the menu bar is not showing, dorp down the menu in the very upper left corner and select show menu bar, then follow steps above.
Hope that helps. Good luck. -
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.

Hello,
the way is written there Activation & deactivation help >>> (see there only to understand the procedure) Common activation problems >>> "Activation limit reached for [product]. This serial number has already been activated on 2 computers." "Maximum activations exceeded."
>>> How to deactivate or sign out >>> A single license for Adobe software lets you install the applications on two computers—for example, at home and at the office. However, you can use the software on only one computer at any given time.
If you want to install the software on a third computer, deactivate the software on the computer on which you will no longer use the software. Then, activate the software on the new computer.

Error "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes". But it's on...
When I try to use my Computer section on my Apple TV so that I can view movies or music in my iTunes library it gives me the error "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes". Of course I have done that already in iTunes on my computer. I went into my iTunes preferences and in sharing made sure "Share my library on my local network" was checked. It's not requiring a password so it should be good to go.
Right now I am using my old Qwest modem to get DSL. It's using transparent bridging and I have it plugged into a new Cisco 800 series router and I also have a Cisco Aironet 1200 AG series for my wireless devices. I am using WPA encryption.
I have my entire music library as well and my entire movie library that I like to get through my Apple TV. I am unable to access any of it. I would be so grateful if anyone can help me. It may be an easy fix but I can't find it. I searched the forum and couldn't find anything. Please someone help! Thanks in advance for any help!
I posted this question in the Apple TV section of the forum but have yet to get a response after over a month.I had this issue when i got my apple tv, found that they were on different parts of the network with different ip address parts. They need to be on the same segment (not sure if that is the right term) I have 2 routers one with wireless operating and powerline link to apple tv and the other have the pc with the shared itunes, changed the connections and it works fine.
Hope this helps
My disappointment is having a NAS box with itunes server but it can't be seen. -

The only thing I can think that it is is that I recently changed to a new router. Right now I am using my old Qwest modem to get DSL. But now it's using transparent bridging and I have it plugged into a new Cisco 800 series router and I also have a Cisco Aironet 1200 AG series for my wireless devices. This is the only thing that has changed on my network so I assume that is the problem. I am using WPA encryption.

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! -
2 atv's both have home sharing enabled but one asks to turn on home sharing on my pc, but it is enabled on pc so I can only use one at a time to watch movies from my computer
Both atv,s are on the same network, they are wirless and the computer can see them and they are named different.
what ever one i switch on first gets to stream from my computer and the other one asks for home sharing to be switched on, then if i switch both off and start the other one first it gets to stream and the other one which worked asks for home sharing to be turned on. i have hidden all functionality, netflix etc as these are for my 7yr old kids. -
Please help! I use my apple tv only to view photos on my tv from my macbook pro every few months - it has always been slightly unreliable and usually takes some fiddling to get working but today nothing is working!!

I have tried turning it off and on again, I have tried turning everything off and restarting but nothing is working today :-( and I have friends coming round for a slideshow in half an hour :-(

I purchased an album from the itunes store on my Ipad2 thinking i could access it from my windows laptop where I sync my ipod. I turned on Home Sharing and can see my laptop libraries from my ipad but not vice versa. Is there any way to fix this so I can transfer the album to the itunes on my laptop?
Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

Can I turn off home sharing for other computers from my own?
I recently got a new computer and would like to add my music library to it. When I try to enable home sharing a message pops up stating that I already have 5 computers on my home sharing network. I don't have all of the 5 computers because some have broken and so my question is that, is there any way for me to turn off home sharing for those computers from my own?
No such thing is possible via iTunes.
What is possible is deathorizing all computers and then authorize only the one's that you have access to.

In setting up my AppleTV it asks me to turn on "Home Sharing" on my computer. It is already ON. I have turned it off and back on several times. Rebooted the computer, rebooted the AppleTV. But the same message is up and stops me from progressing to the next stage.
How can I access "Home Sharing" when it won't turn on?Hello EagleyeMe,
Congratulations on your new Apple TV. I am sure you are eager to get it setup. I recommend following the steps in the article below to troubleshoot Home Sharing:
