  • TS1741 Remote and Home Sharing stopped working with iTunes 10.7

    I have been using Apple Remote to control my Win 7 library as I play it via HDMI through my A/V receiver. I used it on iPad 2, iPhone 4s and iPod Touch 3G, with no problems for several weeks. Just today, however, I cannot get the devices to appear on the iTunes device list, and cannot access the library remotely. I have tried all devices while connected to the same network [tried this with three different networks]. I have turned off firewalls and anti-virus. I have rebooted and reset routers many times. Reinstalled iTunes. Repaired Bonjour. Confirmed port forwarding in routers and in firewalls. Confirmed account names and passwords.
    Airplay works fine.
    I believe the problem is in an iTunes or Windows setting that might have changed during an automatic update, but I can't find it.  Any ideas? Similar experiences? I know a lot of ATV issues have come up with other users, but these don't seem similar to my issue.
    Thanks.

    Somehow, this seems to have been resolved. The only changes I made were:
    1)  I disabled the wireless adapter in my Media server, and enabled the wired LAN adapter. Both are on the same router [192.168.2.1] I have been using wireless for several weeks without any problem. Of all the changes I made today, this is most likely the one that resolved the problem, for now!
    2)  I disconnected my Windows Home Server from the Verizon router [192.168.1.1] and connected it to the Linksys router that I use for my Media server. All my devices connect through the Linksys router, and the WHS box was not involved in any way to this sharing function [it is usually asleep]. As stated previously, I have used the Remote functions for several weeks without any troubles. All shared devices must be on the same router, and they have been;
    3) I also turned on media sharing for the folder containing my master music files, but this is NOT the same folder containing my iTunes libraries or my iTunes media files. This is only an original folder with the largest versions of all my music files [many that iTunes is unable to read].
    I don't know why any of these actions should have recovered my ability to Remote with iTunes, but alas, it "seems" to be working for now.
    Summary... Try everything, even if it seems completely unrelated!!!

  • HT2463 Home sharing stopped working. Windows 8 Netgear wndr3700 router

    Have two AppleTv's that home sharing stopped working on. Windows 8 Pro, Netgear WNDR3700, Dell 9100 XPS. Have gone through two calls with Appletv support but no permanent fix. Homesharing says it's on. on the appletv's and itunes, all with the same id. One call had me power cycle my Cox cable modem, Netgear router, PC and Appletv's but no go. Second call had me disable Port scan and DOS protection plus change NAT filtering from Secured to Open.This worked for a couple day then nothing. Windows firewall is on, inbound trafic allowed from itunes.
    PS3 and iPhones work fine on wireless
    Anyone have other ideas? Thx.

    This definitely helped. Trying this pointed to my PC. Turned out airplay was not loading when iTunes was started up. Had to restart my PC and then airplay loaded when I started up itunes. Once airplay was active home sharing worked on all my ATV's. I'll have to monitor and see how long this lasts.

  • Home sharing stops working in 11.2.0.115

    I have a large library on iTunes 11.2.0.115, running on a Windows 8.1 computer with 12GB RAM and abundant processor and disk.  I'm finding that Home Sharing stops working after one session, and then I have to turn it off and back on, re-entering my Apple ID and password.  Some of my other devices have an easier time than others, but none can find the library once it stops working.  Quitting and restarting iTunes, and/or rebooting do not work.  Disabling IPV6 doesn't work.
    The one that sees the library best is my AppleTV V3, updated to current firmware.  My iPhone 5S on IOS 7.1.1 almost never sees the library, and neither does my iPad 2.  My iMac Air sees the library after restarting Home Sharing.
    I've looked and see lots of threads about this here and elsewhere.  Are there any logs or anything I can look at for clues?  Is there a way to get help from Apple (without paying per incident?)
    I have turned on Match, and that seems to work pretty well.  I'm looking for central play counts, and shared playback of lossless files as my primary wants.  My whole family has Apple iPhones, and I'd like them to be able to use this library.
    Any ideas are appreciated.

    Hi jfschroeder,
    If you are having issues with Home Sharing from iTunes on your PC, you may want to follow the steps detailed in this article -

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972
    It sounds like you have already done some of the steps but it would be good if you can complete them all.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Home sharing stopped working on my Apple TV

    Home sharing stopped working on my Apple TV

    Thanks
    I don't need to try this yet I'm not sure what I did but after yet again unplugging atv, plugging an Ethernet cable in as our airport express stopped working after latest updates too, unplugged Ethernet and attempted a wireless connection it worked! For some reason after 4 days of not connecting the air port express works again! And atv is recognising home sharing.
    Updates are set to auto for atv so perhaps a patch there? Or just lucky combo of things I did?

  • Itunes 11.1.1.11 home sharing doesnt work on Windows 7 - whats the latest work around??

    Hi all, i know there is lots of stuff going around about this but the fixes i want to try dont work. I have changed to compatibility mode and restarted the computer and itunes and started home sharing to no avail. We have an ATV2, ATV3, ipad mini, Ipad 2, ipad3, 3 x iphone 4 and 1 x iphone 5 that all worked perfect before the latest round of updates. The ATV's, itunes and all the IOS devices have the latest versions and thats when it all stopped.
    I dont want to delete every trace of itunes from the computer like some have suggested.
    Now What??
    Thanks for anythin you can suggest.

    Doing a bonjour repair using "uninstall program" on windows 7 resolved this for me, the AirPlay icon came back in iTunes and Home sharing showed up on my Apple Tv 3 again. :-)

  • TS1741 Home Sharing stopped working in iTunes 11.04

    I just installed iTunes 11.04 on my MacBook Pro (2008 with Mountain Lion) and Home Sharing no longer works with my iPad or Android phone.  What gives?

    This turned out to be a network issue with the router.  It was fixed to a particular channel (which was probably being used by another router) and the devices were not consistently connecting.  I fixed it by switching the channel to "auto" on the router.  For those of you for whom this doesn't work, try picking individual channels (this can sometimes work)...it is slightly annoying, though, since all of the devices have to reconnect each time you switch the channel.

  • Home Sharing Stops Working After a Few Minutes

    Since upgrading to 10.6.1.7, iTunes spontaneously stops Home Sharing after some minutes of playing back content via my Apple TV Gen 3. The Apple TV which had just been in the middle of playing content, reverts back to the home screen with a message about Home Sharing at the top. If I then click on Computers, it informs me that I should turn on Home Sharing in iTunes. It is already turned on as I was just in the middle of using it. The computer and the Apple TV are plugged into the same switch. The only work-around that I've found is to exit the iTunes application an restart it each time that it fails every few minutes. This makes watching content incredibly exasperating. Are there any better work-arounds with more longevity? This problem effectively makes the Apple TV a worthless device, and I may be returning it soon.

    Same issue exactly.  Best thing to di is contact Apple so that they become aware of this regression.  Below is what I have been posting:
    Home sharing with the new Apple TV / iTunes update is just broke.  Only works for a bit unless you restart iTunes or disable / re-enable Home Sharing.  Use to work great until the last updates.  This is not a network (router, firewall, ...) issue - just a (bad) regression in Apples software.  Hopefully they fix this soon, hard to believe its been broke this long already.  The Remote app update also fails to connect to Apple TVs (but does connect to iTunes) for many people as well.  Poor QA all around. :(
    I have yet to see any suggestion that actually works other than reverting to previous versions of fwr / iTunes - which is a pain / joke to do.

  • Home sharing stops working

    Hi,
    For a while now Home Sharing has been broken for me.  It works when I first start iTunes but after a period of time I can no longer see the library through any of my devices, ATV, iPhone, iPad.  The amount of time before it stops working is inconsistent.  Sometimes it will work for an hour, other times it fails almost immediately. 
    I'm reasonably sure the probIem started when I went to iTunes 10.5 but can;t remember for sure.  Recently I updated to 10.5.1.42 and I had hoped that would fix it.  It hasn't.  Does anyone else have this problem?  Or do you know if it is possible to get an older version of iTunes?
    Many thanks.

  • After installing ios 5, home sharing stopped working with iPad 2

    After I've installed iOS 5, Home sharing stopped playing on my iPad 2.
    I can SEE the content but the movies app simply hangs when I try playing it.
    I can still play the content on an iPad 1 though..
    Has anyone encountered something like that before?
    P.S.
    Using iTunes 10.5 on a PC running windows 7

    After installling iOS5 the Videos App on my iPad2 takes forever to start films and TV shows from home sharing, if at all. I get a black screen after starting the film which can last between 10 seconds and a few minutes.
    I've also noticed that I can't get the status of the film (volume, time etc.) to show when tapping the screen.
    On top of all that, after having solved the issue with the TV shows being doubled and tripled up, I've noticed that the covers for movies are often on the wrong film.
    Help!! Please!!

  • IPad home sharing stopped working w/ ios7

    Home sharing on my iPad just hangs.
    I have a large video library, so it took awhile to load it under ios6, but now it has stopped working altogether. The little wheel just keeps spinning around and around, then after about 5 minutes the video app crashes. There's some Quality Apple Software™ for you...
    I've tried logging out of home sharing & logging back in; power cycling all devices, etc. I'm pretty sure the problem isn't with iTunes, because my Apple TV is loading up the entire video library in a matter of just a few seconds.
    Is there ANYTHING I can do to get home sharing to work on this iPad 3?

    I am having this exact same issue on an iPAd 2 and iPad mini in videos. I also have this issue in Music on a 4s. After many attempts, turning on/off home sharing in itunes, rebooting, and esetting the entire network settings in the 4s, because Messages wasn't sending.. The 4s is finally filling in the circle as it tries to connect. I have a large video and audio library (Apple's seen a lot of income from me), but the 20min to load n the 4s is absurd.
    Still can't get Video to connect to home sharing on either iPad. I've been trying many times for this 'magic' attempt to happen, but so far no luck. Very frustraed right now.

  • I upgraded my iTunes to 11.1, and upgraded my iPad to OS7 as well as my iPhone. Suddenly my home sharing stopped working with my apple TV.

    I installed the iTunes 11.1 update, upgraded my iPad to iOS7 and now my AppleTV does not see my home sharing. What the heck is going on?

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Home Sharing stopped working  ATV2 and 15" Macbook Pro OSX 10.7.2 & iTunes 10.51 (42)

    I was working fine up until yesterday evening. I've tried everything from restoring and reseting the ATV2, restarting and reinstalling iTunes, turning homesharing off and back on again.
    Also I can't use Airplay from my Iphone 4S or my Ipad2. Both problems starting at the same time.
    I found some solutions for Win 7, but what about OSX?

    Sounds like a lot of folks are having this problem with home sharing (me too) between the Apple TV 2 and iTunes...  For me, it seems to solely be a problem of the Apple TV as my iTunes Home Sharing library is always available through Remote on my family's two iPhone 4Ss and iPad 2.
    Out of curiosity, is anyone who has a hard-wired ethernet connection to their Apple TV experiencing this problem of Apple TV and iTunes Home Sharing not connecting?
    After spending so much preparation time before purchasing the Apple TV last week (Handbrake'ing all my DVDs over the past month), it is truly frustrating to see that this device is not currently functioning as it should.
