Where is home sharing on iTunes 11? (Mac)

I need to finish importing my old library but where is home sharing?

idk if this helps your problem but to get the itunes 10 sidebar layout that has the homeshare options, go to the black and whit square at the left top corner of itunes, then select show menu bar, next go to view, then select show sidebar, that takes you to the itunes 10 menu thingy that has the shared tab and all that stuff! i just figured that stuff out when i was trying to put all my music on my new computer, hope that helps at least a little!

Open iTunes on your computer. Then under File, click on Home Sharing.

Have to Create a new Home Sharing account every time I want to share with Apple TV

Every single time I want to stream media from my PC (Windows 7) to my Apple TV, I have to create a new home share account. I litereally have to get rid of my Home Sharing in both iTunes and on my Apple TV (2nd Gen), and then create a new one, and everything works fine. My Apple TV is hard wired to my computer, so I know it's not a problem with WiFi.
Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it?

My Apple TV sometimes sees my PC iTunes (home sharing) and sometimes not. No configuration changes are needed to make the problem go away or to happen again. No one seems to know why.
I am going to try rebooting PC the next time Apple TV ignores my PC and see if that helps. I have tried everything else.

Why won't the home sharing automatically wake up my mac to share the library using apple tv 3rd gen

My Mac stays on however after a short while it goes to sleep mode. when i attempt to access the home sharing feture in apple tv i have to walk all the way over to the mac to wake it up in order for the home sharing to be recognized. Is there a way that Apple TV can tap into a sleeping Mac that it is synced to so this process can be streamlined?

Not sure if your problem is exactly the same as in the following thread, but JAHelms posted a fix that seemed to help quite a few people:

Error "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes". But it's on...

When I try to use my Computer section on my Apple TV so that I can view movies or music in my iTunes library it gives me the error "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes". Of course I have done that already in iTunes on my computer. I went into my iTunes preferences and in sharing made sure "Share my library on my local network" was checked. It's not requiring a password so it should be good to go.
Right now I am using my old Qwest modem to get DSL. It's using transparent bridging and I have it plugged into a new Cisco 800 series router and I also have a Cisco Aironet 1200 AG series for my wireless devices. I am using WPA encryption.
I have my entire music library as well and my entire movie library that I like to get through my Apple TV. I am unable to access any of it. I would be so grateful if anyone can help me. It may be an easy fix but I can't find it. I searched the forum and couldn't find anything. Please someone help! Thanks in advance for any help!
I posted this question in the Apple TV section of the forum but have yet to get a response after over a month.

I had this issue when i got my apple tv, found that they were on different parts of the network with different ip address parts. They need to be on the same segment (not sure if that is the right term) I have 2 routers one with wireless operating and powerline link to apple tv and the other have the pc with the shared itunes, changed the connections and it works fine.
Hope this helps
My disappointment is having a NAS box with itunes server but it can't be seen.

The only thing I can think that it is is that I recently changed to a new router. Right now I am using my old Qwest modem to get DSL. But now it's using transparent bridging and I have it plugged into a new Cisco 800 series router and I also have a Cisco Aironet 1200 AG series for my wireless devices. This is the only thing that has changed on my network so I assume that is the problem. I am using WPA encryption.

Home Sharing in iTunes no longer working with Lion....

Anyone else having this problem?? I have not seen it as a topic.
We have 2007 iMacs so chips do not support Air Drop. However, I would not think Air Drop would be required for home sharing in iTunes.
Moving to Lion has not been a very good experience for me so far with peripherals, but to lose home sharing in iTunes on top of it... I don't even want to finish this sentence.

I just discovered that after the iTunes update and the Lion update, my iTunes wouldn't update anything except what was in the library already. New songs, apps, movies all equaled bupkiss. I went into advanced settings and saw that my library location was blank. I'm using an external drive for my music. So there's a bug, since it would play everything thing in the library but was unsure where the library was so that it could write to it. I just relocated my media drive and now sharing and updating the library works fine.

Family Sharing, Home Sharing or iTunes Match?!

I'm confused.
MY PARTNER
My partner and I have the same of everything - an iMac each, an iPhone each and an iPad each.
He has a lifetime of music, video and book purchases and I don't have any, and he is subscribed to iTunes Match.
He is away from home 4 days per week, so prefer to Sleep or Shut Down his iMac to save power.
ME
iTunes on my iMac is logged in under his account name so I can access his purchases.
iCloud on my iMac is setup under my Apple ID for syncing calendars, contacts, passwords etc.
My iPhone and iPad are logged in under my own Apple ID for iCloud, iTunes & App Store purchases.
FAMILY SHARING
I have set this up today with my my partner being the main account holder.
SETUP
Wondering if this setup is ideal or if anything should be changed?
Have tried Home Sharing but find most of the time it times out and is painful waiting for library to display on my iPad or iPhone, and also as he is away from home 4 days per week, his iMac is either Sleep or Shut Down, but I'm guessing Home Sharing or Family Sharing is way to go?
What I want to do is have his music show up (sync?) on my iMac so I can play his music. I also want to import purchased Kids DVDs on one iMac only - so presume his would be better than mine so everything is kept together in one master iTunes library? I want to be able to stream to Apple TV kids movies, and play Playlists on my iPhone or iPad.

I don't use either Home Sharing or Family Sharing but from what I have read it sounds like FS is what you need. I don't know about all the details and realize that it is unlikely any one service will have all features you want.
Tunes: How to share music and video - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2688 - about Music Sharing and Home Sharing
Alternatively, just keep his Mac turned on. Mine has been running 24/7 since 2006. Yes, it uses a bit of power but no more so than leaving on a security light or two.
