Updating Apps while using Home Sharing

My wife and I have our own Macs. I've set them up for Home Sharing so we can share some of our music and Apps for iPad and iPod Touch. Now my iTunes shows 3 apps available for update but when I click the link in iTunes, I receive an message stating that all of my apps are up-to-date. I assume these apps are ones I pulled from my wife's computer. How do I find out which apps are available for update? Do I need to log out of my account and into my wife's? Thanks.

that's one way.
another would be to +get info+ on an app and go to the summary tab. it will show you which account purchased the app

  • If I delete a song off my personal computer iTunes while using Home Sharing will it delete that song off of anyone else's iTunes or just mine?

    Anyone?

    Hi 24fantrue,
    When you are using Home Sharing, you are streaming your music to the other devices that you've set up on your home network.  Your music does not reside on any other device or computer unless someone copies a song to their device.
    So, if you delete a song from your iTunes library, the other users in your household will no longer be able to play or copy the song.  Does that make sense?
    The resource below will explain how Home sharing works.

    Import items from other libraries using Home Sharing
    Click the Sharing button near the top left of the iTunes window, and choose a library from the pop-up menu.
    Click the button for the type of content you want to import (Music, for example) near the top left of the window.
    Click the Show pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes window and choose “Items not in my library.”
    Select the items you want to import, and click Import.
    Hope that helps ...

  • My itune's songs won't play on my iPad while using home sharing

    I have the New iPad. As soon as I got it, I activated the home sharing on my notebook's itunes (I use Windows 7), and it was working ok. Recently, I had to format my notebook. Then, I reinstalled itunes and re-activated the home sharing, but there's something wrong. My song library shows up on my ipad, but when I try to play them, they won't play. No sound comes out, and the player bar won't go further than 0:00 secs. I tried reseting the app and rebooting the iPad. Other sounds (eg videos, internet etc) are being played normally. What could be wrong?

    Make sure the anti virus or fire wall isnt blocking it make sure on itunes you have the comptuer authorized
    -Itunes>Advanced/Store>authorize computer>Turn on home sharing and make sure the apple id is the same as whats on the ipad as well.

  • Can I use Home Sharing if my Computer is on a different router than my iPhone??

    I am just wondering if my Computer is connected to Router A, and my iPhone on Router B, but they both have the same server, would the Remote App work while using Home Sharing?

    If they're on the same wifi network, you've got a chance ... not 100% certain you'll be able to get it to work, though. The following document mentions possible trouble with multi-router set-ups (In the 4. Check your network connection section):
    Troubleshooting Home Sharing
    (I'm not sure if the issue with multiple routers is universal, applies in the majority of cases, is common, or is rare.)

  • How do I drag and drop files between computers when using Home Sharing in ITunes?

    How can I drag music files between computers while using Home Sharing? An older version of ITunes had a Home Sharing icon in the column browser near the playlist so it was easy to drag and drop.

    Hello cacalenni,
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. I understand that you wish to learn how to import songs using Home Sharing in the new iTunes. The following resource should assist you in doing so:

  • Sync new versions of apps using Home Sharing?

    I sync my iPad and iPhone off of my laptop, but keep a backup of my library on another computer using Home Sharing. This works great for almost everything I do, however it will only import an app that isn't in the library, it won't import updated versions of apps already in the library.
    Is this a designed feature or a bug within iTunes? I keep my laptop's apps pretty up-to-date and would love to not see 47 apps wanting to be updated in my backup library the day after iOS4 comes out after I've already updated them on my main library.
    Clear as mud?

    i have a similar setup and seeing the same thing. updating apps manually on each of my Macs.
    have to live with it until further notice ...

    Since the last AppleTV update I can no longer use home sharing. I have checked all IDs, re-booted iTunes, my router, and AppleTV, and checked the port settings in my firewall. nothing works. Is it me or did this last update really scew things up?

    Hi,
    I tried everythink, but same as before!
    - droppings ot the main screen
    - loosing Home Share
    now even on iPads !
    Frustrating!
    I'm now more than convinced that this is caused by the latest iTunes version.
    As some others stated in other threads .... it seems that Apple doesn't really take care of this problem. So what if, if we could make them feeling the same pain as we do. ... Just by dropping them a mail as soon as we have the problem again. Not more often, we don't want to be unfair, but everytime it happens.
    I found this feedback site http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    I will start now with this.... maybe this will help to rise a little bit of attention
    Tweety
    This is the mailbody I always use
    Hello all,
    Since the last update to iTunes Version 10.6.1 (7) streaming content (Movies and TV shows) to Apple TVs and iPads has two major problems:
    - Home Sharing is lost during streaming (streaming stops even if a large portion of the content is already preloaded)
    - streaming stops and the main screen pops up (Home Sharing still available)
    This happens sometime after some minutes, sometimes after several hours, but it surely happens.
    I followed every advice I could found on this support website. There are now a lot of threads following this issue.
    Sometimes it seems getting better, but hours later the same isues occured again. Watching content on this enviroment is a real pain and very frustrating.
    As many others I'm now convinced that the latest update of iTunes caused this problem.
    Our family enviroment contains the following Apple products:
    - iTunes on a Win7 32 bit Noname PC (all content)
    - second iTunes on a iMac with OS 10.6.8 (all content)
    - third iTunes on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.8 (daughter, only selected content)
    - fourth iTunes on a Win7 32 Samsung Notebook (son, only selected content)
    - all iTunes sharing the same Home Sharing ID
    - 2 Apple TV second generation
    - 1 Apple TV first generation
    - 2 iPod touch (bought last year)
    - 2 iPads (second generation)
    all firmware or software are on latest available patchlevel.
    At this moment, I can not recomend to others to buy this products.
    I will drop this feedback everytime my famiily and I facing this problem... just to help you to get a better feeling of the urgency of this issue.
    Thanks for every effort in advanced.

  • I am having strange issue with my apple tv...i set up pictures to scroll through to the tv using home sharing.  Now album covers are interspersed with my pictures.  I have been using apple tv for a while and never had this happen before

    I am having strange issue with my apple tv...i set up pictures to scroll through to the tv using home sharing.  Now album covers are interspersed with my pictures.  I have been using apple tv for a while and never had this happen before

    Are you watching this content though iCloud or though from iTunes on your local computer?  If it is from iCloud have you tried downloading the content to iTunes and watching it on ATV from that source to see if it still happens?  This is geerally a much more reliable way to view the content.  Easer to fast forward and rewind too.
    - I have a stable internet connection
    Clearlly you don't
    >(Ive tested on other devices)
    Which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
    >I am able to stream Netflix problem free from my AppleTV without so much as a hicup
    Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
    >- I am able to download the episodes to my phone, ipad, and computer without any issues
    Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.  It does remove your ISP throattly traffice as a possible cause though.  So that is good.
    Have you checked your wireless rounter?  Tried doing the factory restor on it?  Upgrading it's firmware?  Is it and or ATV getting extreamly hot when this problme happens?

  • HT202213 When using home sharing, can you access your itunes files while traveling on the 2nd and 3rd ipads?

    If we use home sharing for a new ipad, can we cet to itunes with the ipad while we are away from home?

    No.
    Homesharing is for local area network over wifi only.

  • Can I use iTunes Match while I'm away from Home, and my family still use Home Sharing via Apple TV?

    I would like to be able to use my iTunes Match account as I am frequently away from home.
    However, my family would also like to be able to use Home Sharing to listen to music, watch movies stored on the family iMac, using the Apple TV.
    At the moment, iTunes Match & Apple Store uses a different Apple ID to Home Sharing.  I don't want the kids to be able to download movies etc on the Apple TV.
    Is there a way that I can achieve both at the same time?

    Yes, iTunes Match alleviates this situation.  As long as iTunes on both of your computers is using the same Apple ID, you can add songs to either one, and once they have uploaded to iCloud, they will be available on any of your iDevices AND in iTunes on the other computer.

  • Can i use home sharing while mixing wired and wireless connections?

    I have an HP Pavilion desktop connected to my wireless router with an Ethernet cable.  My AppleTV is connected wirelessly to the 5GHz band on my simultaneous dual-band wireless-N router.  How do I share photos and music from the HP desktop to the AppleTV using Home Sharing?

    Apple TV can see computer B and C.
    The problem is that computer A Is the music computer That I want to stream throughout.
    If computer A and B can see each other, and computer C and AppleTV can see computer B, then why can't everyone see computer A ?
    Any response appreciated.
    What version of iTunes is the Computer A running - it may not support Home Sharing.

  • While trying to copy files using home sharing, get the error you do not have enough access privileges

    I'm trying to use "Home Sharing" feature in iTunes to import files from another user on the same iMac.  We have 5 users and one user is unable to import files from other users.  We get the error "You do not have enough access privileges to perform this operation."  All users are logged in using the same Apple ID and everyone else can import files.  What gives?

    Had the same thing happen to me a few weeks back when I switched computers and migrated.  Here's what worked on my iMac, so maybe it'll work on your iPad, too.  Go to User(your home folder)/Music.  Select/highlight your "Music" folder.  Then do Command-I ("Get Info" from the File menu), click on the padlock icon in the lower right of the new window.  Enter your user password.  Click on your username just above the now-open padlock.  Select "Read & Write" if it's on "Read Only," "Write Only," or "No Access."  Now having your user account with "Read & Write" privileges (it may have been this way already; still do this next step), click on the gear on the bottom-center of that window.  Click on "Apply to all enclosed items."  When the pop-up says "Are you sure?" (or the equivalent), say "yes."  This will grant access privileges to your user account for all the music files inside your music folder--all your iTunes stuff included).  Then you should be good to go.

  • How can a family with multiple existing accounts use Home Sharing?

    I'd like to use the new Home Sharing feature, but it appears to be restricted to families in which all of the family members share a single user account.
    We already have separate accounts for each family member. Is there some way for us to use Home Sharing without abandoning most of our existing accounts, along with all of the purchases made by those accounts? I don't think anyone in this situation would be willing to do that.

    Eh. I am not too sure since I have not messed with it much but I do have a great deal of experience with multiple accounts. Each computer can be authorized for multiple accounts. As can iPods. iPods can sync songs/videos/apps from multiple accounts as long as the computer is authorized with them. What I have set up here, is I buy my stuff I want, my parents buy what they want and so do my brothers. When my bro gets something I want I just move it to my computer. That way all our accounts are separate, but if there is something I want I can get it. Also, since the music no longer has DRM, it won't matter. It will play on any computer. What you should see is if you can just do the shared library with multiple accounts. Then if you don't have videos or such, you can get apps or music. Hope this helps!

  • HT4557 We have a wired in network in our house, we also have an apple airport for use with my ipad/our ipods/iphones, etc.  Can we use home sharing if our desktops do not have wifi?

    Hi,
    this is my first time on the support board, so hopefully I'm doing this correctly.  We have 3 desktop computers in our family, which are wired in with ethernet cables.  We also use the cables with our laptops (we have various connections throughout the house)  I have an iphone, and an ipad, my boys have ipod touches.  I purchased an airport router to use when I'm using my ipad, etc.  The boys and I would like to be able to share apps that we have purchased.  I'm wondering if there is a way to use home sharing in our situation.
    thanks!
