When using home sharing, sometimes getting a message that it's not an authorized computer.

You need to authorise the computer you sync with your wife's Apple ID. Then you can copy the app from her itunes to your own by using home sharing

  • 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.

    Ditto.
    You need to look for your itunes library under Computers and select it, then music.
    Music column is for web based content not local content, just to confuse everyone.

  • My entire TV show library does not appear when using home sharing to ipad

    I've tried everything to get my entire library to show when using home sharing on the ipad but it only displays the shows under letter A to the beginning of F.  Is there a limit on the seasons that can be displayed? Im streaming from itunes on a PC.

    I figured out my own problem. Thanks dmule you're a genius. All I had to do was turn off home sharing on my iPad and then turn it back on. Now all the video art work matches their proper movies.

    If you have home sharing turned on in the settings of your apple tv and your iPad you can AirPlay from your iPad to the apple tv. When you play a video there is a tv icon on the right side of the play/pause/fwd/rwd icons. Click that and choose your apple tv. Your apple tv and iPad must be on the same network.

  • When trying to use App Store I get a message "could not sign in an unknown error has occurred." I reset our connection and turned off iPad. Any suggestions?

    When trying to use the App Store, I get a message "could not sign in, an unknown error has occurred,  any suggestions what is wrong?  I reset our Internet and turned off the iPad. 

    Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.

  • Right management: How many devices can share a certain piece of music when using Home Sharing?

    Considering a family of 4, each of us having between 2 and 3 devices. Can all of them use music through Home Sharing or is the limit of 5 applying?
    Thanks

    A maximum of five computers can use Home Sharing at one time. If this limit has been reached and you want to add a new Home Share, deauthorize one or more computers by choosing Deauthorize Computer from the Store menu in iTunes. For more information about authorization and deauthorization, see About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization.
    Supposedly, you can use Home Sharing with as many iOS devices as you want on your network.

  • 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.

  • Most of the time, when I try to load the home page, I get the message server not found - now I get this message and can't go anywhere

    I have dial up - once I connect to the internet, I get the message server not found and am unable to go anywhere on the internet. This started trying to load my banks online site and started about a week ago. I've tried freeing popup blocker, gone through the settings with a bank IT specialist, tried to us IE which has resulted in a request for a cable and now no access to any website. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.<br />
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • When trying to update, I get the message: Account not in this store,...switch to the Canadian store.  How do I do that?

    When trying to update apps, I get the message:  "Account not in this store,...switch to the Canadian store before purchasing"  How to I switch, and how did it even get changed to US store?  I don't remember changing anything, and I used to be able to update, no problem..  I have synced with my computer for music - could it have happened then?  I changed on the computer to Cdn site, but will it not go to the iPhone automatically?

    On you iPhone go to settings-iTunes &amp; AppStore.
    Tap user name, sign out.
    Log back in with your apple ID and password.
    That should fix the problem
