When using home sharing, will my messages show up on the other devices?

I added another device to my I Tunes account, but I want to know with Home Sharing, will my messages show up as a new message on the other device? And will my alerts for my games show up there too? How can I stop my phone from ringing when someone is facetiming the new device?

We want to share the iTunes account, but when his son calls him on FaceTime, I want that to be just on his device. I want him to have all his own stuff and not be bothered by my candy crush notices or other game notices... Or when I get a message? I have my own IPad, and iPhone. He just has an IPad. Is that possible? I created an Apple ID for him and his own email address so far.

  • We have three computers in the house--2 crashed before I could deauthorize home sharing.  Now, with my new MacAir, the total computers in our household is 3 but home sharing will not allow me to add the other device.

    We have three computers in the house (iMac, MacAir and the new MacAir I just received) in addition to 2 iPhones and 2 iPads.  2 Macbook Pros are no longer in use (both crashed before home sharing could be deauthorized) but now I have reached my maximum device allowance (5), even though only 2 computers are currently active.  How can I reset the authorized computer numbers?

    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. Otherwise you can "deauthorize all" from your iTunes account.
    Open iTunes on a computer
    From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
    Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
    Under "Computer Authorizations" select "Deauthorize All".
    Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "deauthorize all" your authorized computers, authorize each one as required.

  • 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 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.

    I guess you're talking about iCloud?  Yes if you can see two devices it would appear that someone else can get into your account.  Best change your password.

  • 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.

  • Blue screen of death on PC when using home sharing with Apple TV

    I've just bought ATV2 and trying to connect to my iTunes library on Win7 PC via home sharing. I can connect fine to the library, but when I play a song on ATV, I get blue screen of death on my PC. Any ideas? I'm running latest version of iTunes on my PC.

    Satellite A215-S7422 
    We need to know the Stop code on the blue screen. If there is a file name mentioned, we want that too.
    You can prevent the rapid disappearance of the blue screen during a normal boot by choosing this at the F8 Startup menu.

    I turn on the Home Sharing in iTunes 10.5. (on a iMac running Lion) open the iPod app on iPhone4 or/and iPad2 (both running iOS5) acces the Home Sharing library - and then 2 seconds later the app crashes.
    Well I've tried a Reset to Factory Settings, install iOS as a new device, turned off firewall, reset wifi-rooter and modem, deleted itunes username/passw - typed it back in again... well still no Home Sharing here...
    Anyone with some goor suggestions?
    Please..?
    All the best from Denmark :-)

    Same here... Music app crashes 2-3 seconds after trying to connect to the Home Sharing library on both the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 (both iOS 5.0.1). I've checked everything... settings on both devices, settings on iMac, router, open ports, firewall... all fine.
    The same iPad 2 when on iOS 4.3.3 works just fine, same was ok for iPhone 4 on 4.3.3.
    Any thoughts / ideas / solutions anyone?

    Hello shiv99,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you have used Home Sharing to play the music from one computer on another, but now you would like to only use the new computer. It sounds as though you have set up the content to share between computers, but have not actually I’m ported the media from the old computer to the new one. I would suggest following the troubleshooting steps located in the attached article to import you music from the old computer to the new one. After that process is complete, you can turn off Home Sharing if you would like and the content will be in the iTunes library on your new computer.
