Why won't Apple TV Home Share with my iMac?

Why won't Apple TV Home Share with my iMac? I have no problem Home Sharing with MacBook Pro. I have set up all Sharing settings on my iMac exactly the same as my MacBook Pro. The operating system on my iMac and MacBook Pro is the same (OS X Mountain Lion - 10.8.4).

shared lib was around long before appletvs
in the form of computers on the same network being able to access eachothers shared lib in itunes
if you can do that from your macbook pro as in access the shared lib of the imac
then the problem is with the appletv somehow
if you also can't access the shared lib of the imac from the macbook then you setup something wrong
or have a firewall blocking it or are not on the same network with the 2 devices
if the later when you fix the shared lib between computers chances are if will also be fixed from the appletv

Why won't Apple admit the problem with 6th generation nano power button?

The power (sleep) button on the 6th generation nano is obviously faulty and poorly designed. Why won't Apple step up and make it right and issue a recall to fix or solve the issue so many people are having? Apple, do you hear us? Make it right! You know it's wrong! If a power button fails after a couple of years, that's a sad design. Shame on you!

No, they don't hear you posting here. My button is working fine after 3 years.
This is primarily a user-to-user technical support site. You've wasted your time here.
Go down to Contact Us at the bottom right, get Apple's address and right them a letter.

Why won't Elements 9 Organizer share with SmugMug ?

The Elements 9 Organizer doesn't want to share with SmugMug. Any attempt at sharing an Organizer photo brings up a SmugMug log-in screen every time. If the log-in information is entered, the photo is then shared with SmugMug. This has never been an issue and I don't want the hassle of entering log-in information with every sharing attempt. I've tried several possible solutions without any success. I'm wondering if upgrading to Elements 10 will be necessary. Any ideas would be appreciated.

See if following steps help:
1. Open Organizer preferences.
2. Navigate to 'Adobe Partner services' and click on 'clear online service date' button.
3. Right click 'PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe' located at 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 9 Organizer\' and select the option as 'Run as admin'.
Please revert if issue is not resolved.

Why won't iTunes 10.7 work with my iMac OS X?

I can't get my iPhone or my Ipad to sync with my iMac. I am running OS X. It won't accept the new version of iTunes

Devices purchased recently will require iTunes 10.7. check the side of the box for exact system requirements (if it says iTunes 11 it should work with iTunes 10.7). iTunes 10.7 requires OSX 10.6.8 or higher which in turn requires an Intel Mac.
1) Make sure your computer meets Snow Leopard technical specifications - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575 This mostly means making sure it is an Intel Mac and has at least 1GB RAM (at least 2 GB is recommended). Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Does it mention "PowerPC" (not Intel), or Intel? To check RAM continue to "More Info...". It should say you have at least 1GB of "memory".
2) Buy a Snow Leopard disc from Apple online
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard - USA
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard - UK
or telephone Apple. In the USA: (800) 676-2775 (contact information for other countries: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57)
Alternatively you can buy from online retailers but anticipate paying much more than the original price which is the price still charged by Apple
3) Backing up your computer before upgrading is always a good idea.
4) After installing from the DVD, update your Snow Leopard installation using Software Update or manually downloading and installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v.1.1 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
If the above does not seem to apply then you need to post back with complete information this time as to exact model computer (iMac is not enough since there's like 30 models), system software version, exact model information of the devices, iOS version running on each device.

Why won't my mac file share with my network?

I want to share my files throughout my home network, but my mac computer is the only one that is causing trouble. My other windows computers and the USB drive connected to my router is working fine. Whenever I try to look for these devices through the network folder on my mac computer, it just sits there and no other devices appear. On any other computer, they will show up within 5 seconds. I have let it sit for 5 minutes and I nothing has found up.
How can I get these computers and usb drive to show up. This mac has been resisting me the whole way when it comes to network.

OS X: How to connect with File Sharing using SMB

Why won't an external drive connect with my iMac?

I recently tried to connect a Seagate Backup Plus 5TB external to my iMac and every time I try starting up, I get a message "You need to restart your computer". (This message shows up in 4 languages.) I tried this previously with the same type of drive and Seagate told me to send it back because it appears the drive is corrupt. I traded it in for another drive but get the same results. I currently have another Seagate drive attached to my Mac and it works flawlessly. I have had NO problems with my Mac to indicate the computer is bad. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you in advance.

Is the OS on your daughters system where the drive works the same as on the iMac where it causes the OS to crash? You used the same cables when you ran it on the other system, correct? If you still have access to your daughters machine it would be interesting to se how the drive is formatted. Not sure it would tell us much but it would be nice to know.
At this point if it were me I would reinstall the OS and see if that makes a difference. It's relatively easy and to be honest if you had Apple look at it it is most likely what they would do first. We could go back and forth with crash logs and all but an OS reinstall is really your next best step. As long as you do not do an erase of the disk before the reinstall you'll not affect your data, only the OS bits will get rewritten.
Having said that things can always go wrong so having a backup before doing this is always a good idea.
regards
BTW your system and OS version was never stated. Just noticed your profile says 10.6, is that true? What model is your iMac? The drive is USB 3 and while USB 3 is usually backward compatible with USB 2 if you are really running SL I'm not sure how that fits into the picture. What was the OS Version of your daughters system?

I am trying to home share with my sister. I have it down to where I can copy the songs, but I just don't have the "import" button. So it won't allow me to do anything with the songs from her computer. What should I do now?

I am trying to home share with my sister. I have it down to where I can copy all the songs I want, but it won't allow me to import them because my iTunes doesn't show the "import" button at the bottom. So what do I do now?

I have reinstalled the drivers. I watched it install the realtec and cirrus drivers. Hovering the mouse over the speaker icon says 'speakers: HP'. They are actually 'Creative'. 'Properties' indicates 'IDT High Definition CODEC' and 'This device is working correctly'.
Driver details gives 'c:\Windows\system32\drivers\dmk.sys'.
There is still no sound, although the little level meter on the control shows a green bar rising and falling.
Obviously, it thinks it's working, but there's no connection to the speakers. They're not muted, either. I checked that too.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

You have to all be signed into the same Apple ID and on the same WiFi network, but yes you can do it. You have to sign into her Apple ID on your iPad in the store settings.

Why won't Apple do not manufacture keyboard with combined trackpad?

So why won't Apple do not manufacture keyboard with combined trackpad?
Same size like numeric keyboard, but without numeric buttons and model with wire or wireless, i'm just curious why they haven't manufactured this kind of product yet.
I have iMac Early 2008 (Upgraded with 128 GB ssd) and Macbook air 2014, sometimes i feel odd carrying separately keyboard and mouse if i want to plug my macbook with IPS display, so it would be lot help if they were combined.

Have a look at this (I've not used it and have no idea whether it's any good):

Why won't Apple Mobile Device Support install with itunes setup??

Why won't Apple Mobile Device Support install with itunes setup?? I keep trying to reinstall, and installs everything but Apple Mobile Device Support. How come. will someone please help me?? I updated windows, and thoroughly removed everything before i reinstalled itunes. I don't know why it's Apple Mobile Device Support isn't going on there. HELP! Is there anyway i can just download and install Apple Mobile Device Support by itself???!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if a component such as Apple Mobile Device Support won't install normally.

HT3819 Not able to use home share with new apple TV from my PC

I have set up all, i think correctly, at on my iTunes on my PC, also I have added my appleID to my new Apple TV, but my PC and Apple TV doesnt want to communicate anyway.... have tried to turn off home share at both places, doesnt help. Still cant access my iTunes (at the PC) from my Apple TV (1080p).
Some suggestions to what I can try ?
Tanks !
Borgeny

Hi, and thanks for your feedback,
No, I have tried the suggestions there. restarted all Router, PC, Apple TV re-started home share with my user ID and all, but my iTunes library wont show up on my apple TV anyway... just telling med to use the same uaser ID.....

HT202636 How is it that apple allows you to permanently delete photos, but not books. Some books are a blight, and one has buyer's remorse, and they should be obliterated? Why won't Apple allow this to happen? We can do it with photos? And iI think music?

I want, for whatever reason, to be able to permanently delete, not just hide, books and PDFs from my iCloud? Why won't Apple let me? Beg pardon from Apple if I'm mistaken, but don't think so.

I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
Also see this , -> Download past purchases
and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
Actually, no it does not tell you that.
FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.

Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the contract was honored and I am still an AT

Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the 2 year contract was honored and I continued to be an AT&T customer with an iPhone 4. I wanted my old 3gs unlocked so my daughter could use it overseas when she is deployed. AT&T service over there *****, the international plan was not worth it. The individual SIM cards per country are much more reliable and cheaper. Teslestial in Iraq and Afghanistan, Telecom in Croatia,Vodafphone in Germany and Italy. Why Apple will not unlock these phones for our military to utilize is incomprehensible to me. These young men and women are fighting for these Apple people to go to work every day, safe, to live lives they have become accustom to yet releasing a phone to use on another network they can't do at least for the military.... WHY APPLE?? WHY? A good excuse not some of the many lame excuses I have received on the phone many times. AT&T states it is Apple that will not allow them to unlock the phones... Please tell me why? All I want Is my daughter to have a phone I trust, to be able to call me when she is given the free time to do so and I trust the apple phone.
Apple, please reconsider your stance on this issue. I am having a hard time understanding why you will not unlock the iPhone.
A simple code could allow me to talk to my daughter while fighting for our country the Great USA. Apple should be on the front line and enabling those fighting for our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness to use unlocked phones on reliable local GSM networks.
I honestly hope that someone who has some sort of authority to begin allowing the release of unlock codes, and not forcing people to unlock their phones with some program produced by some hack just to be able to use your wonderful phone. That is is in a nutshell, People love the iPhone so much that they want the ability to use it on the most reliable GSM carrier available to them. That should be a major compliment. Even men and women on the front line want your phone. I agree, my service is not the best where I live either, love the GSM technology so stay with it, but if I had the ability to change to the other GSM network that has much better coverage in this area of the country I would change. To change now I would not have my iPhone and that I will not part with.
Apple, please reconsider opening up the lock code and allow your gem of a phone to be used by many more people in many more areas and most importantly overseas fighting for our country. I know if this is really thought about Apple would understand and come to the conclusion to release the unlock codes, and stop the people from hacking in to use the iPhone on other networks.
I would love for my daughter to be able to use my iPhone 3gs while fighting for our Free country.
A response would be appreciated.
Thank you.
An Apple customer for 10 years, phones and computers.

Defiled:
I did sign a two year contract and completed that contract. The 3gs is no longer in service. My daughter is going overseas to protect you and your family. I was attempting to find a way for her to have a reliable phone that could offer her some connection with home as she travels through the middle east. She travels in missions all over.
At&T unlocks other phones of theirs why not the iPhone? AT&T says that Apple will not give them the code, it is not the carrier. If I would have known this situation would have come up I would have bought and unlocked 3gs phone"Deggie" . My main complaint is that Apple has not good excuse as to why they will not allow their phones to be unlocked from services well, AT&T . I bought the phone full price, completed the contract terms, even went for and iPhone 4 with another2 year contract, along with owning an apple computer... I love the product. My main issue is give me a good answer as to why you won't allow a phone to be unlocked. It doesn't hurt Apple, People still have to buy the phones from them, and use their App store and iTunes.
Sorry, just upset about my daughter heading over there, boots on the ground, and just pray she will be safe. Would have liked to facetime her while she is in the airports and in specific areas allowed for that.
Please don't come down on me for asking this question. I understand all the contracts etc.... but to single out the iPhone specifically to not unlock after contract is over does not seem fair.
Thank you for your responses.
