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:
Troubleshooting Home Sharing
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

TS2972 I can see my library on home sharing but I can't see the music?,

Help, I have turned on my homes sharing and can see the library on my iPad but cannot access any songs......my computer is on and signed in.....if I re touch the screen I just get the msg home sharing cannot be turned on....but it is as its seeing my library!

You are saying that is is seeing your library but you can't play music. Do you see the songs, albums and so on in the library? Did you try closing the Music App completely and launch it again?
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice. Launch the Music app again.
Sometimes it helps if you reboot the iPad when mysterious problems arise.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I can listen to the Music Library in my Ipad through home sharing, but I can't do it in my Iphone. When Iphone managed to connect my Mac, I can see how a watch turns clockwise but it stops when it arrives at a half of the watch. What can I do?

My iPhone 5 screen is completely black. I can hear it working (you can hear Siri if you push the home key) but I can't see anything.

My iPhone 5 screen is completely black. I can hear it working (you can hear Siri if you push the home key) but I can't see anything. I've tried a hard reset but that hasn't worked. Any other ideas? I have a call in to get a replacement but it won't come in until next week so until then I don't have a working phone!

Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts. This usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons.

So, I have created my home sharing from my base computer to my laptop. On my lap top I see the tab for home sharing but it will not let me connect to my computer to share my music over. I have done everything iTunes has told me to but it still won't work.

I got some more info that may help.
I put a cd on my laptop, and was able to share it to my computer... So the problem is only from my computer to my laptop. I tried the firewall thing and it did not help. I read the rest of the trouble shooting page, and nothing else applies. iTunes is an execption and already was. I can not think of anything else being my problem. Do you think I should re-install iTunes or would that be a waste of time? At this point I am about to just call Apple for some help because I am getting to stressed over this.
Thanks

I have an external hard drive with a shared music folder, which I can access (from Home Sharing) and play music on my Windows computer. On my new Mac, I can see the drive in Home Sharing but not play any music. What's the solution?

I have an external network hard drive with a shared music folder (WD MyBookLive), which I can access from Home Sharing and play music on my Windows computers. On my new Mac, I can see the drive and the music in Home Sharing but the tracks will not play. All the other authorized computers in my home network show up in Home Sharing and I can play the content. What's the solution?

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

I can't see the other person when using facetime but they can see me just fine, how can i fix this?

When I use facetime with my fiance on my brand new macbook air she can see me but I can't see her. Please help me remedy this problem, I have verified that I am logged into facetime and connected it with both my ipone5 and my email but haven't seen any changes. It is a 1 week old macbook air and I'm assuming it has the latest iOS installed but don't know how to check as this is my first Macbook. Thank you for your help

MacBook Air does not run iOS. It runs OS X (pronounced as in OS - ten). You can check which version you have by clicking the Apple logo in the upper left of the menu bar, then "About This Mac". The current version is OS X 10.8.4. If you do not have that version, you can click "Software Update" just below the "About This Mac" entry under the Apple logo.
Anyway, typically, the reason for the FaceTime behavior you're describing is a less-than-robust internet WiFi connection.

I am running Snow Leopard and on my seperate windows 7 machine I can see and connect to my mac. However I cannot get the Mac to connect to the Windows 7 machine. Even home sharing is not working on itunes.
Can anyone help?
Maybe
On the Win7 machine,
1. Ignore everything to do with Homegroup.
2. Go > Computer > Users > User; right click on User and chose Share with > Specific people; and Set to share with a specific individual or Everyone—both with Read/Write permission.
3. Go Control Panel > Network and Sharing Options > Advanced sharing Settings, and Turn on network discovery, Turn on file and printer sharing, Turn off public folder sharing , and Turn off password protected sharing (unless sharing won’t occur without turning it on).
4. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).
On the Sno machine,
1. Go System Preferences > Sharing > Check File sharing > Go Options > Enable SMB sharing.
2. Go System Preferences > Network > Select Airport or Ethernet depending on what you are going to be using. I am assuming you will be using wireless below. Let me know if not true.
3. Having selected Airport, select ask to join new networks and show Airport status in menu bar.
4. Click advanced > click remember networks this computer has joined > Click Wins > Enter the ip address of your Win7 machine in the WINS server box > Enter the Win7's workgroup name in the workbook box unless it already is there (look in the drop down menu too). In all likelihood the name is workgroup, but check on the Win7 machine.
5. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).
Try to connect to your Win7. Use Go menu > Connect to server. In trying to connect, type smb://ipaddress (of the Win7 machine). If, for some reason, you are asked to, input a user name and password, then use you user name and password for the Win7. Don't save anything to Keychain now and actually never for making network connections.

HT202213 I'm trying to set up "Home sharing" but i can not get into my old computer because of a virus. The old has Vista and an older version of iTunes. The new has Windows 7. Also this is my sons computer however I have made a new user account for me. H

I Have 2 issues;
1. I can't transfer my iTunes library from my old computer which I can't get into due to a virus. I'm trying to transfer my iTunes folder to my sons computer in which I now have a user account. Old is Vista and new is Windows 7. Therefore home sharing is impossible, right? Wrong?
2. I found my purchases from iTunes on my iPhone 4S. I can't seem to download them. There is no button to tap "download". Also, I'm unable to sync to iTunes because my phones default is to sync to my old computer which will not open!

Contact Apple customer support, they can reset your authorizations.

I can't get the audio Playhead menu to appear so I can trim an audio segment in a secondary audio track. I see others are having Trimming Issues, but I can't even get the menu to appear.....

I need to trim off the front and back of audio segments (pulling from iTunes)
The instructions seems quite clear on how to do this, but the Playhead Control does not appear when selecting and item in the secondary audio track. It seems pretty basic, but how do I even get the Playhead to appear?
I'm in hurry to finish a slideshow for a wedding (why I bought it to begin with) - any help will be appreciated.

That's the for the secondary track. But how do I trim the primary audio song from itunes. I did find a work around.
select the song in itunes.
command + I to get the information screen.
Under one of the tabs there is a "start" and "end" timer. Trial and error will put allow you to start and stop at the time specifed.
I renamed it " trimmed" so I knew it was a timmed version...then I inserted it into aperture the normal way...
A pain, but it works...

i was wondering if it is possible, this person i believe uses a Android or Iphone, for the camera to be turned off for video chat? I can never see the other person but they can see me - and i can see myself during the video chat. My video which they see i also see takes up the whole screen. This issue also is the same for when i use Windows and video chat with this person.

Hello pfierrobb:
You have to enable it in SKYPE. Open up Sykpe click on tools then select options . When that windows opens select video settings. Then you well see select webcam click on White box select your web cam choices. Windos 7 HP computers it is called HP web camra filter. I just close out the filter stuff if I am not using it during chat session. Some HP computers call it cybrlink web cam. If your web cam isn't listed yet the web cam still works in other applications your Skype software might be corrupted. Just uninstall Sykpe and reinstated it back with a new copy download http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-computer/ If you are still having issues please let us know. Thank you frrw.

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