Why can't I see Apps in the Home Shared section?

I have an iPhone. My husband has an iPad and an iPod.  We have two separate iTunes accounts. Both are running Windows 7.
I have enabled Home Sharing on both computers. As a result, I can see my husband's Music, movies, TV shows, books, and playlists.  However, no where does it show his apps. Or vice versa on his computer. He can see my music, movies, tv shows, books, and playlists, but not the apps.  Everywhere I read, it does seem to say that apps can be shared as well.  But how is this possible? There is no listing for it.
Please help, I am becoming more and more frustrated with this.

There is no listing for apps at all when I click the arrow. 
This is what is listed:
Music
Movies
TV shows
Books
Playlists
That is all that is listed.  Apps is not listed and I cannot figure out why.  Please help!

  • Why can I not see other libraries in Home Sharing?

    I have tried EVERYTHING! I cannot figure out why my mac and PC will not communicate. I have authorized both computers with the same Apple ID and Home Sharing log in is all the same for both computers. I have turned off firewalls on both computers. They are signed into the same network. BUT there is still nothing under the Home Sharing tab of the menu bar. Can anyone please help! Thanks

  • Why can't I see others in my home sharing, but they can see me?

    I have set up my home sharing and my members can see my libraries, but I can not see their names, or libraries.  Why?

    Howdy slrsij,
    It sounds like for some reason you cannot see libraries on other devices but they can see your library just fine. I would recommend you perform troubleshooting steps 4-7 from the following article:

    Can 2 Different Apple ID's within the same household share music and apps using the "Home Sharing"?  Or should we continue to just use 1 Apple ID?

  • Why can't I update apps at the app store?

    I cannot connect to the iTunes store and update my apps.  I dont know why.  I have an ipod touch 5th gen and IOS 7.  Also two of my apps just disappeared from my home screen.  Dont know what is happening.

    Do you have automatic updates turned on? That is new for iOS 7. If yo d you may see that some apps need updates but that goes away after the automatic update  prcess finished. The iPod periodically checkds for updates and periodically updates apps.
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
      - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Why can I not purchase apps with the App gift card and no credit card?

    trying to purchase a free app, but it keep wanting me to add a credit card, which I will not do, and I have iTunes/App credit.

    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

  • HT1947 Lost Apple TV remote, how can I use app if the home sharing is not already enabled?

    I lost my Apple TV remote so I can't change the settings on the tv.  Is there a way to use the remote app on my ipad without having the actual hardware remote to program the tv?

    The remote app requires home sharing to be enabled and both to be on the same network. Since that's not the case you will have to purchase a new remote.

  • Why can't I play AUTHORIZED content through Home Sharing?

    I have 2 laptops, one is a doomed Win and the other is a blessed Mac.
    I tried home sharing for the first time and to back up my content to my Mac. Both are authorized to play the same content, HOWEVER, some TV shows just won't play (and of course if you can't play it through home sharing, you can't copy it) and I keep getting the authorize computer message!
    Any idea why that is?
    I can't believe that I had to go over my music, playlists and shows one by one before I can move them into the other library, not to mention that I've purchased those items myself under my account!

    If the computer is accessible via home sharing, then it should be possible to simply browse to that computers drive as well.
    Simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer. 

  • Why can't I get album LPs through home sharing to my other computer?

    I had just setup itunes on my second computer using the same account through home sharing and it all work well. I then bought an entire album from the itunes store with the LP. The LP automatically got on my first computer and is shown on my second. However i can't access it on the second computer. The text is faded as if it were being downloaded, but it isn't.

    When you go to such a place you need to do two things:
    Settings > WiFI ... select the place's network and enter the password.
    Generally (not every time, but very frequently), the place will have a "Terms and Conditions" you must agree to in order to use their WiFi.  Those Terms and Conditions will appear either once you enter the WiFi password, or as soon as you open Safari.  Let them appear and agree to them.

  • Why can't I import songs from iTunes Home Sharing?

    I have two Macs - mine and my dad's. Both computers have Home Sharing on and we are using the same iTunes Account.
    We are able to see and play each other's music, but cannot import any songs.
    Where other people seem to see a Home Share icon (the house), we only have blue playlist symbols.
    Any ideas?

    Restart both of your computers, and restart your Internet modem. Then try again. It may just be a glitch.

  • Why can't I see updates in the App Store?

    The App Store icon indicates that a number of updates are available, but the Updates page in the App Store is empty.  I can see which Apps need updating in the Under All Purchases.  Rebooting did not work. ‘Reset all settings’ did not work. Closing the App Store icon did not work. Removing the last ten Apps did not work. Closing all active apps did not work. Loading a new App did not work.  Closing all running apps and turning off wi-Fi did not work.

  • HT1535 Why can't I see all of the movies in my library to add them to my iPhone?

    I have an iPhone 4S. I have about 30 movies in my iTunes library, but I can only see 15 when I click my device. Thi doesn't allow me to add that others on to my phone. How can I fix theis?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hello Chris,
    It sounds like you only have the option to sync 15 of your movies in iTunes to your iPhone.  It may be that the remaining 15 movies are on iTunes in the Cloud and not actually on your computer.  You can play them directly from iCloud in iTunes, but to sync them to your iPhone 4S, you will need to download them to your computer by clicking the little cloud icon. 
    As long as you are signed in with the Apple ID associated with those digital downloads, you won't be charged for it.  You can find the steps to download these purchases to your computer at the following link:
