Why can't I home share on my iphone?

Followed Iphone instructions to upload music from my mac Itunes acct into my new iphone 4 and the more setting on the Music icon was not available to complete the upload.  Had to do it by USB cable.  Is this an O/S problem?

I have been having the same problem, I have followed all the advice given on the apple technical help page and still get the same error message if anyone can help that would've great! Thanks

  • 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

    Yes.
    This allows you to view your videos & music from iTunes on the computer to the iPhone (in the Videos & Music apps).
    On the iPhone, Settings > Music (or Videos) enter your AppleID under Home sharing.
    Open Music or Videos, tap ••• More then Shared.

  • Why can't apple user share or take data from Andriod?

    1.why can't apple user share or take data from Andriod?

    I was able to easily move all my data from my Android phone to my iPhone when I switched. But, that could be, because, instead of complaining, I actually asked questions that made sense, listened to the answers, did some reading and figured it out.

  • How can I use home sharing between our iphones (create playlists from both accounts at once)

    How can I use home sharing between our iphones, so that we can create playlists with songs from both of our libraries?  We share a Macbook Pro (separate accounts) and each have the new iphone, but when I have my iphone and try to create a new playlist, I can only grab songs from one account.  Is there a way to create a playlist using both accounts since we are sharing?
    Does it have to be created within iTunes first on our Mac?

    The short answer: because Home Sharing isn't designed for sharing apps, and apps aren't designed to be shared.
    The longer answer:  Think of it like this...
    You download some music in iTunes.  With Home Sharing, another user can listen to it by streaming it over the network.  But the data itself is on your computer.  If you turn off the computer or take it off the network, the other user can't access it.
    But if you send another user the app, they aren't just streaming the data- they installed it on their iOS device.  Because they weren't the one that purchased it, such a transfer could easily be considered "piracy" or "stealing," and nobody likes that (least of all, Apple). 
    When iTunes sees this app, it obviously recognized it, as if saying, "Hey, how did you get this app on your device, if I have no record of you purchasing/downloading it from the iTunes store?"

  • Why can't I delete a pic from iPhone album in ios8?

    Why can't I delete a pic from iPhone album in ios8?

    Now that you mention it, my parents don't need to see my playlists, either.  Hadn't thought of that.
    I accidently stumbled on an "ad-hoc" workaround that helped me.   The downside is that it only works with smart playlists so it may or may not work for you.  But here it is anyway:
    Smart playlists will not be uploaded to the cloud if they refeence another playlist on the cloud.  So I created a "catch-all" smart playlist and added a reference to that in all the smart playlists I don't want to share. 
    I also noticed that playlists with more than just music are not uploaded.  You could add a short video or something to the playlists that are only for the iMac.  This obviously won't work if your daughter needs them on her iDevice. 
    I know these aren't good solutions, but I hope they help someone. 
    Cheers,

  • HT4910 Why can't I sync notes from my iPhone 4S to my ipad mini?

    Why can't I sync notes from my iPhone 4S to my ipad mini?

    Hi Drumsing,
    As long as you have your iCloud account set up and signed in on both devices, and the Notes checke in iCloud on both devices, there is no reason they should not sync.
    Try resetting both devices - Hold down the Hole and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold until the Silver Apple appears. Do that for both, then try Notes again.
    P.S., after you write a note, you need to close the App on the device you wrote the note on before you open the app on the other device to see it.....
    Hope this helps,

  • Why can't I email photos from my iPhone 4S?

    Why can't I email photos from my iPhone 4S? It goes through the motions, select photo, recipient, file size but nothing is received.

    Are you sending an email using a return address of, say @xxx.com" but using an outgoing server from a @yyy.com service?  If so, this is known as relaying.  Many servers now reject such emails, as this method is often used by spammers.  Depending on your email provider, you may be able to get around that by going into the settings for that email account and finding a place where you can enter a valid @yyy.com address along with a password.  (You'll have to hunt around the settings to find this, IF the account allows for that.)
    Example:  A non-icloud exchange account:  Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars - In the Accounts section, tap the account in question (e.x. yyy.com), tap the Account name, fill in the Username and password in the section that also includes "Domain    Optional"  where optional is in gray.
    Example:  For icloud, Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars - In the Accounts section, tap the icloud account, Tap (in Advanced), "Mail" then indicate emails you want to use in "Allow Sending From".
    Doing so lets you continue using a return address of @xxx.com, but the server also gets the valid address and password for its service and forwards the email as it should.
