• Home sharing turned on with a PC to transfer music?

  I am trying to find a way to transfer my music files on my iPhone.   I have a MacBook 2.1 (OS X 10.6.8) I'm currently using to synchronize with my iPad (3rd generation) and two iCloud backup devices.  I recently inherited an iPhone 4S of my son and I would like to put my music on the iPhone file.  Apparently, the iPhone requires the latest version of iTunes on the MacBook one because iTunes doesn't recognize iPhone or it syncs music to the iPhone.  I also have access to a Windows laptop that recognizes the iPhone when I connected via USBport I could use as a substitute for the MacBook.  The only question is: can I use home sharing to place my music library and playlists on the PC, so I can sync the PC to the iPhone and there at - it a step by step procedure how to set up the House sharebetween two computers?

  I don't know which update borked... my home iTunes 12.3.3 or El Cap 10.11.14 sharing capabilities. House share used to work before each update. I've tried everything. Does not appear in iTunes, my ATV4 or one of my iDevices. Sharing used to be an option on my iOS devices, but even this is no longer an option because it does not have access.

• Home sharing on iPad not available

  I just upgraded our iPad OS 9.  I turned on home sharing on our Macbook and connected to iTunes on both devices.  There is no button for selection of home network or other devices on the iPad in the music app.  The only available buttons or my music, Playlists, Radio and Connect.  How can I connect iPad to the music on the Macbook?

  You have home sharing enabled on your iPad (settings > Music), using the same account that you have enabled on your Mac iTunes, iTunes on your Mac is open, and the Mac and iPad are connected to the same wifi network?

  With iOS 9 you access your shared library via the button on the top middle of the page of the application of music, where you can decide whether to view your content by artist, album, songs etc. - If a shared library is available, it should show below the display on the popup options.

• Intermittent home sharing - TS suggestions?

  I've read numerous reports online with home sharing being super intermittent. I'm usually pretty good when it comes to troubleshooting, but have found myself confused on this issue. Sharing home worked a lot in the past, but as of recent it has gotten to the point were the video I watch will drop every 5 minutes or so and I have to re connect to the server.

  The installation program looks like

  • Mac Mini Late 2009 (2.26 GHz with 8 GB ram) connected by ethernet an Airport Extreme CA (setting for PPoE)
  • 12 iTunes (the latest version as of 26 September)
  • Mac OS X 10.11.6
  • iPad 2 Air with iOS 10.0.1
  • iPhone with iOS 10.1 + 7
  • All of the devices in question have a static iP (at the lower end of the scale)
  • Also running Mac OS Server on the mac Mini however this has always been the case even when the home sharing works.
  Signed and off home sharing on all devices and the problem persists on the iPhone and the iPad that makes me think that it may have something to do with home sharing. Don't forget that I can access my Mac Mini remotely via google remote desktop without interruption since the iPad in the same exact place it is de-energized. Internet abandon, however home sharing does. She also is de-energized at random points in the video, if I had to watch the video again, it would be a different point, so doesn't seem to be a problem with the file.

  OK so I solved my problem, the issue seemed to come from my mac sharing the iTunes Media folder. I turn off file sharing and it seemed to have solved the problem.

• Apple TV in error 'enable home sharing '.

  Years, I got an AppleTV on each of our 3 TV.  I have them, then connect via "Computers" to my iMac which is running iTunes and my library of movies more than 2,000 movies.  I've never had a problem with the part 'Computers' on the AppleTV not just have all my movies, music and TV he meet and watch.  However, I just moved and since then almost every time I want to watch a movie on my computer to the AppleTV article it says that my home sharing is not enabled.  Which is not at all the case.  Sharing my house is ALWAYS on.  And I let my iTunes always run continuously (I learned that when I set all this up - it won't work without being on my iMac iTunes).  I had this running correctly for years and now it does not work.  If I go on my iMac and unsleep-so I quit iTunes, then open it again - then everything rises.  It's very embarrassing and I know that's not the way it is supposed to work.  Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.  Thank you!

• Apple TV 9.2 using the keyboard to type the first few letters in library home sharing

  Hello community,

  Someone managed to use the keyboard to type the first letters of a movie/tv/music show in their home sharing library?

  I was able to do this on the old ATV but can't make it work on the new ATV.

  To explain more in detail - the reason why I want to do it is to spend in that capacity that I'm looking rather than slowly scroll down the list of titles. It is a useful time saver.

• Home sharing television series records/seasons mixed up after update to tvOS 9.2

  After my 4th Apple TV update area generation 9.2, I discovered that TV Show records have been added for sharing home function 'my computer '. I love! Waited a long time for her! However, the sorting criteria has changed and he is no longer sorted by Show title, season and episode. There are a few other considerations of metadata corresponding to a use and it is completely found toward the top of my collections of show:

  

  Of course, I have about half of my TV collections were stolen in a DVD purchased and metadata laboriously added manually by myself. And as upsetting as it is for this effort to be thrown, it would be useful to know which metadata fields (existing or new) that Apple TV engineers are using to build their pages. Also, there is garbage metadata directly from the iTunes purchases to my friends that are causing problems in sorting as well. So it seems that I have to clean in order to display the content in a coherent order - at least through sharing of my house. It seems not unreasonable to use iTunes as a content management system for items not purchased through Apple. Any other 'home Brewers' and iTunes TV Show observers having similar problems with the last update and home sharing?

  Yesterday I described my version of this in a post, but stupidly did not include the screenshot that you did.  I have the same problems.

  There must be a problem with the TVOS because two other previous ATV running iOS earlier is fine, as the iPad and iPhone...

  Sorry that is not a solution, but your problem is shared!

• Home sharing the problems of photo (4 AppleTV + iMac)

  Hello

  I have the new AppleTv 64 GB and an iMac with public funds, Mac OS X and iTunes.

  Both devices are on ethernet using DHCP.

  I have set up home sharing on iTunes with sharing pictures and videos (30 photos of k). Also, the AppleTV is configured to use the home sharing (even apple ID).

  Once, I managed to see the image as an element under computers library, but can when loading never completed. Now, I don't see my music.

  The strange thing is that he has appeared after a reboot of my iMac, now helps you no more.

  What is a good strategy to identify the root cause of the failure or repair? Is there a special order of commissioning,... to make it work?

  Thanks for any help!

  Ralf

  Welcome to the Apple community.

  Go to iTunes > file > sharing > choose Photos and check that the correct source is selected in the menu drop down and you have selected a few photos.

  If this is all correct them, make a slight change and click 'Apply', check on your Apple TV to see if pictures have reappeared.

  If this help you can reverse the light changes and again click 'apply '.

• Home sharing switches off after 30 minutes and must be returned to service before it stays on for another 30 minutes

  I use laptop aToshiba and iTunes sharing House on Apple TV.

  Turn on home sharing allows me to listen to my music or view pictures for 30 minutes on my TV before home sharing goes out and requires running through iTunes library

  I have reset the Apple TV back to original settings and the problem persists

  The only changes I made to my laptop computer is upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 that I don't like and I was wondering if I'm going back to Windows 7 would solve my problem?

  Maybe your settings on the laptop energy saving bring to close network services after 30 minutes. Choose a different savings plan or set options can help.

• Use home sharing on iPad if iPad library is empty?

  Hello!

  I would like to use home sharing to listen to music from my iTunes to my iPad (MacBook Pro 2013) library. I have no music, videos or whatever on my iPad. Unfortunately, it seems that the button to access the sharing home from the music application ( here described in the iPhone/iPad) only seems to be available if you have at least one song on the device. Am I missing something or am I seriously have to record a song randomly useless on my iPad just to listen to music using home sharing?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  What makes you think that.

  I have home sharing with no music on my device.
