• Is it possible to stream DVD of ICloud instead of iTunes home sharing via my computer?

  I would like to be able to download my DVD somehow so I can play them all Apple TV (gen 4) instead of airplaying them or having to maintain the computer to share the home of my iTunes (latest version). As it is, if I want to watch a DVD, downloaded on my Apple TV I must select COMPUTERS and go into my library to select the movie and then keep my computer over time. I managed to download a DVD on my Icloud player hoping to be able to stream the DVD from there nothing doesn't. I do not understand why this is the case and am unable to find any resources that explain the case however, I'm rather new to all this and perhaps, I not looking in the right places. Second of all, why can't I just go to the MOVIES on Apple TV and find them there with the rest of my movies as opposed to strictly buy films he and others else where; they are all good movies? Put them in the category FILM (it is more a problem of Apple, I guess). Is it possible to stream my DVDs to iCloud instead of iTunes home sharing via my computer? Any information or guidance would be appreciated thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

  When you look at the top row of the applications the homescreen are apps from iTunes Store.

  So the only films - purchased are one you purchesed from iTunes. It is the same for other applications in the same row.

  Focus on Plex to broadcast your own films as an alternative to the use of computers on the Apple TV.

  In your help document, they propose to close the router, then restart. It worked I finally got my link with the library in home sharing on both. This problem is solved.

  In the older version of Itunes, we had a 'show menu' at the bottom and we can select "Items not in my library" and import. Neither on my PC or my MAC I see this menu downstairs.  Spin the latest version on the two which is 11.0.2

• 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!

• 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.

• 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 home sharing does not (10 Windows, iTunes 12.4.1.6)

  I have two 3rd generation Apple TV in my house and home sharing used to work perfectly on it when the contents of the copy of iTunes on my desktop Windows 10 streaming. But since than do a clean install of Windows 10 that has not worked.

  I search online for the solution and have tried everything... but nothing works.

  It is not the firewall on the computer or the router by turning off both makes no difference

  Running iTunes in mode of different compatibility does not help

  Change the name of computers do not do...

  Someone at - it any other ideas?

  AirPlay works perfectly, it's just the sharing House that doesn't.

  Thanks in advance

  For home sharing work, ATV and iTunes must be on the same Apple ID This does affect airtime. Check the ID on your iTunes. You can find information here for help with home - sharing Apple support. Moreover, the firewall of the router, which focuses on internet traffic has nothing to do with it. The Windows Firewall must open certain ports to allow communication between different machines.

  Yesterday I bought a new iMac. I discovered that I had 5 authorized computers when I tried to configure it. I found myself meet my MacBook Pro, which I will give my child once I'm done transferring data, in order to allow the new Mac.

  How can I find out what other Mac my ID Apple is on? Is there another way out remove all to clear the computers I no longer use? What is the difference between the home sharing and family shares anyway?

  Thank you

  Home sharing allows another iTunes (on another computer) to access your library.  If we could watch a movie from your desk at home on your laptop at home.

  All devices must be signed on the same identifier Apple to use the function.

  Family sharing allows different apple ID (family members) to share purchased content.

• 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.

  My macbook since a former apple ID, then I changed my name and my iphone has the new id apple - how can I change apple id name my macbook to match my iphone for home sharing?

  Thank you

  Welcome to the Apple community.

  You need to disconnect your old ID in System Preferences > iCloud > sign out and then sign in with your new code.

  You will also need to do this for iTunes, App Store, Messages, FaceTime, and books.

  To change your sharing settings go to iTunes > file > Colocation.

• 4th generation Apple TV doesn't appear in itunes sync window cannot have content. Home sharing is on.

  4th generation Apple TV doesn't appear in itunes sync window cannot have content. Home sharing is on. Can not download music from my itunes library on the apple TV. Had a previous 1st Gen Apple TV. Any help would be great. Thank you

  The Apple TV is a device of broadcast rather than a storage device. You would home sharing and local stream your iTunes library via share house or stream content providers online who have released apps the App Store, such as Netflix, Hulu, Crackle, HBO etc would allow you to icloud photos and stream iCloud. But you won't actually store all personal data on the device ATV4 himself that the feature was available on the first generation...

• Home sharing a fall of Apple TV 3 rd gen.

  I have two devices. A MacBook Air 13 inch (2013) and a new iMac 27 K 5 in. end 2015 (OS 10.11.6). The iTunes is the last 12.1.5.21 and once on the version previous home sharing would be cut at random on my Apple 3rd GEN MacBook Air TV is never a problem, just this iMac. Yesterday I fixed in signing off everything, leave iTunes, restarted my iMac, reboot of the Capsule of ancient times - not sure of the model, then by restarting Apple TV. He was working back. Then I just tried this and failed. Then, I am registered on the sharing House Apple TV and iTunes from iMac, restarted the router and voila it worked. Now while typing this it just cut off again. This is while watching videos streaming on Apple TV, the main reason I bought the thing.

  Now I try the same procedure to see if it will work. Why - what is falling all the time. I am registered on iTunes, but Apple TV says that I am not connected. This is getting very frustrating.

  HI T - dude,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. From what you have said, it seems that for Apple TV streaming home sharing is cutting.  Looks like you already have a troubleshooting. There are a few things that we can do that you mentioned not try again. I recommend you read these articles, since this seems consistent throughout a few Macs, maybe it's a problem with the AppleTV.
