Using Home Share and syncing

I have turned on Home Sharing and selected to sync all iTunes Store content between both of my Macs. Now, if I want to sync prior purchases and all other content, can I just move all content from a shared Mac to the library? What about duplicates; both libraries are already almost the same.
Thanks,
Ken

  • ITunes11.1.5.5 home share and syncing issues.... Norton is not the issue

    Hello friend  and thank you in advanced.  Again, I am unable to use iTunes homeshare and syncing from my devices to my PC home computer and iOs devices nor do I have the option any longer to control the volume on more than one device.  Here is the link that remedied the last few up dates:

  • HT3819 If I have to load the same apple id on all devices to use home share, does that preclude each device from using a second apple id and does that constitute a separate Itunes db or something?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Only one of your libraries needs to use your iTunes Store Apple ID for home sharing. Your other computers can use their own ID for iTunes, so long as they use the same ID as all of the devices on the network for home sharing.

  • ITunes 11 Stops Responding to Bonjour Discovery Multicast Broadcasts, Why?  This stops the the Apple TV 3 from being able to start a new stream from the home share and the iPad remote app can no longer see the home share too.

    I'm having an issue where my Apple TV 3 and all our iPads periodically seem to loose connectivity to an iTunes home share on a Windows 7 PC.  Using a network protocol analyser on the PC I have identified that the point of failure corresponds to the ATV3 sending a bonjour discovery request and getting no reply from iTunes.  Why the ATV3 'forgets' where the home share is is possibly another issue but the root cause of the failure is that iTunes, or more specifically the mDNSResponder service, is not responding to the UDP multicast port 5353 broadcast discovery packet sent by the ATV3 or iPad.  The mDNSResponder service does start responding again after iTunes is restarted thus making the home share accessible once more, however, this frequent drop out is unacceptable and often happens after only a single TV show has been watched from the home share making the solution unworkable for a family, we simply cannot be restarting iTunes constantly it ruins the user experience completely!
    The nature of this failure indicates that the ATV3, the iPads, the host PC and network are all working correctly and the point of failure here is the lack of response to the bonjour discovery protocol with the net result of either a spinning 'connecting to home share' message or the home share just disappearing from the computers section.
    If there is a configuration fix for this please let me know as I haven't located a fix!  Otherwise this seems very much to be a code flaw in iTunes 11 or the mDNSResponder and I would appreciate some input from Apple!  Going on other questions in these forums it would seem the problem is not limited to Windows PCs but also Macs too.  NB: This is not a TCP issue, when the ATV3 or iPad knows the IP of the iTunes server all works flawlessly, it just periodically they seem to refresh the list of home shares and at this point they loose the information about the home share they have just been using because of the non-response to the UDP multicast discovery broadcast packet, that is arriving at the host PC and isn't being blocked by the firewall.
    Many Thanks!

    In my case there was no import from a former mac.
    My problem (at least mine) is that no app that offers media sharing works properly. Neither itunes home sharing nor AirVideo nor EyeTV sharing.
    So I'm pretty sure that this is network issue.
    Adding another user on my mac and sharing a new library works not also. But sharing from another laptop in my WiFi works. So this has to be a network issue on my mac, not only my user, but an issue of the whole system.
    But I'm not willing to reinstall MacOS X for that if I don't have to.

  • Can I use home share across multiple accounts on the same computer?

    we all use one computer and have one music library in a public folder. Can we use home share so that when one of us makes a purchase (and adds it to our library) others can easily see it and have the option to add it to their library too (without duplicating the file)?

    Based on my HAZY memory of a previous question like this, what you would need to do is...
    Log out of one Cloud account (MAY need to restart your computer, not sure of this... hazy memory) then log in to your OTHER Cloud account

  • HT3819 My iPad only shows 30 sec clips of movies using home share when full version is on mac

    Using home share from Mac to iPad and movies on iPad are only 30sec clips? Does home share stream or copy movies to iPad?

    Might these movies be rented?  I don't believe you can home share rented movies.  See:

  • Using home share, but play counts aren't transferring?

    I'm using home share to try and transfer my iTunes library from my old computer to my new laptop. However the play counts don't transfer when I do this, despite the "Home Sharing computers and devices update play counts" box being ticked. Both of the PCs have the latest version of iTunes and they're both logged in to the same apple ID. How do I transfer the music, as well as the play counts?

    You can export the library that has all the data as far as play counts and stuff. I did this on my last computer. I just put all of my music on an external hard drive, exported the library from the computer, moved the hard drive to the other computer and telling itunes where the music is stored then used the exported library to update play counts. Works like a charm.

  • Stream movies from my computer using home share to apple TV (gen 3) is using up my internet down load allowance?

    I have been using Apple TV (gen 3) to stream movies from my computer using Home Share but found my internet down load increased, I have read online forums which all say they don't think the home sharing uses your internet down load but when I played a movie then paused and unplugged my cable from my router I was unable to continue streaming the movies which tells me I am using internet down load. Can I use my Apple TV to stream already downloaded and saved movies from my computer to Apple TV without using the internet?

    Sorry diesel, to amswer your question: I am selecting "Computers" from the ATV which inturn streams the movies from the iTunes on my computer.
    If I unplug my internet cable from the router I am unable to continue streaming the movie? this tells me that it is using my ISP internet to stream, I have checked all my settings but can't see anywhere that would make it stream direct from my router to ATV.
    Just can't work it out???
