• 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.

  

• 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?

• How to transfer music from a computer to a new computer using windows media player?

  Windows Media Player

  Hello TMorrison,

  Thank you for your message.  There are two ways that this is possible, however, there is no way to transfer music using Media Player.  You can listen to the songs on another computer through another computer but no transfer.  In order to transfer music you perform one of the three methods suggested below:
  1. use an external drive to copy music to a computer that can be postponed and copied to the other computer.
  2. transfer music on the network, is if you have a workgroup configuration.  If this is not the case, let know us and we will help you with that as well.
  3 record your music CD or DVD and transport records to your new computer and copy.
  Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.  We can't wait to hear back on your part.
  See you soon

• ATV 4 Home sharing not showing upward after 10.11.14 / iTunes 12.3.3

  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.

  Can anyone help? I can't look at one of my home movies, etc..

  Thanks in advance!

• I need a very simple guide to implement 'Home Sharing', please help?

  I found the link on Apple's site, but I use Safari and in Yosemite, so I can not copy the link. Anyway, Yes, it is this page. (Stupid Yosemite)

  Anyway. My family has 3 accounts apple - all connected. I see a point on a map where my wife is constantly, but there is absolutely no way to share the music as much as I can say. My wife bought an album 3 years ago and I have never seen it written anywhere...

  The instructions on this elusive page say to do:

  • To take advantage of the shared music on your iPhone or iPod touch through home sharing, open the music application and tap my music > library. For iPad, type just my music. In the screen that appears, click on the category near the middle of the screen. Tap on Home Sharing, and choose a shared library to connect to.

  However my music application has nothing and said "don't not to Miss a Beat.

  Here is the useless link:

• Internet bandwidth economy with home sharing

  Hello

  I did some quick research, but has not been able to find an answer to this...

  I have an Apple TV 4 and I buy and stream iTunes movies and television on a regular basis. In an effort to save internet bandwidth, I wonder if I download movies / TV shows to my iMac and activate home sharing, will be my Apple TV then disseminate these to my iMac or will he continue to stream from the file iTunes servers?

  Thank you.

  Hi there Antonio0279,

  Yes indeed you can save bandwidth by using home sharing to view media on your computers! You must go through the computers rather than the streaming app to say that iTunes and this article has more information on this topic:

  • To find shared libraries, go to the main menu, select computers, and then choose a library.
  • You can also view photos from your computer to your Apple TV: open iTunes on your computer. Then go to file > home sharing > select the Photos to share with the Apple TV.

  From: use the share of the House to share content with other devices iTunes

• 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.

• Why a home sharing started everything leaving iPhotos to show. I have been using Photos for several months to share on my Apple TV.

  I use your Apple TV (3rd generation) to display photos for my artwork. I use the Photos app and not to use iPhoto.

  My photos are organized into Photos in special albums. Over the last five months, I can choose Photos when I turn home sharing.

  My only option is now iPhotos. I need to use photo albums.

  How can I change the option of iPhotos Photos?

  I rebooted several times home sharing.

  My software is up to date for iOS 9.2

  Try again one thing that worked for me tonight.  Under the file Menu for home sharing, there is another selection to choose photos to share with the

  Apple TV.  He missed in iPhotos library, but can be changed to the photo library.  Then restart iTunes.  I disabled the home sharing and then he turned back and Photos using the Photos finally shown at library.

• How to transfer music from Iphone to computer without using ITunes

  I have so many beautiful songs in my iPhone and I want to transfer to my new PC... and I know that the iTunes library can do... but there is something wrong with my PC and I don't like this... are there other methods to do this? THX...

  Hi shin men,.

  Unfortunately using ITunes is the best way to transfer music from Iphone to computer.

  However there are some third-party programs available online that can also help.

  You can communicate with ITunes to check if they have an easy way to transfer music from Iphone to computer.

• Transfer music from old PC to MacBook

  I'm about to replace old Windows with a MacBook Air computer.  The PC has a "iTunes Music" folder rather than a file "iTunes Media.  Is this going to cause a problem when I try to transfer the contents to the new computer, and if so, how can I deal with it?

  It is an older file structure and should not be a problem.  iTunes 9 [and later]: understanding iTunes Media organization - http://support.apple.com/HT201979 - more information on the Organization of the new structure https://discussions.apple.com/message/26404702#26404702

  Page 6 of Apple, exhaustively meticulous instructions step by step: how to move your iTunes library to a new computer - https://support.apple.com/HT204318 it is convenient if you think that all your materials are not in the standard location.

  My resume in a sentence if you use preferences by default iTunes settings: copy the folder integer iTunes (and to ensure that all of its subfolders and files) intact at the other disk, hold down the option/alt key (shift on Windows) keys to start iTunes and on request to select a library select iTunes Library.itl file in the copied folder (open a different iTunes library file or create a new one - https://support.apple.com/HT201596).

  When it comes to a new car/computer put the iTunes folder copied to the default location of Macintosh HD > users > * user name * > music (or home > music) so you don't even have to start with the down option, iTunes will automatically look it there.  (Make sure that it is no anything already in the iTunes folder it that you want to keep because you will replace it with the one you are moving).  Don't forget to authorize computer in iTunes to your Apple ID if you use it to synchronize with Apple devices or play multimedia DRM protected (e.g., movies).

  Some elements used in iTunes related activities are not stored in the iTunes library folder, but in special folders.  If you move a library to another computer, you can copy these too:

  -Music files Apple cache: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/2015/09/new-flush-apple-music-cache-files/ - ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iTunes/SubscriptionPlayCache/ file, which is a bit like a "iTunes Media" folder for music from Apple
