Re: Home Sharing
Hi, Yeah, I tried being sneaky and creating a playlist of AudioBooks. Then that playlist showed up in the Playlists section within the Home Sharing machine. No joy though, as soon as I opened the playlist, the Music app on the iPhone said that there was no music in this playlist. Bummer. There doesn't appear to be Home Sharing within iBooks either. It seems like the only way to listen to AudioBooks on the iPhone is to download them from the iTunes Store or to transfer them over to the actual iPhone from your Mac or PC. Later...

I am not sure if this is a Home Sharing problem. Because there is not enough space on either iPhone or iPad, I want to use this feature to listen to some content stored on the Mac. In the Music app on the iPhone, when the library tab is selected, I get a dialog asking, "Looking for music?" I do not use Apple Music and I do not have any of my music on the iPhone. I cannot get rid of this dialog. Earlier in the day, I did not have this issue. During that session, I saw my Home Videos in the Music app. Why there and not in the TV app? I also was looking for my audiobooks. Is there a genre table? Could not find that. Thanks for any help. From E.T.'s Keyboard. . . I have seen the truth and it makes no sense.

Re: Home Sharing
Hehehe. Apple only markets what they believe we want after all. Of course they are one step ahead of us and let us think its our idea. That said, as long as we have choices its ok. If I was on the move a lot I could see using Match. Or if I only cared about new music, then Apple Music might work. I do want to watch those subscriptions. They could easily add up. There are two I will explore. Qello and Netflix I don't think 'resistance is futile' applies to me any more for I have been assimilated.

Re: Home Sharing
Of course? Really? I never ever would have reached that conclusion. (smiles) Syncing something seems to act like a key. iTunes Match, does that allow one to listen to content because its in the cloud? So it can be accessed anywhere anytime? Crazy to pay Apple for that. Maybe I am a Scrooge. But Apple then will know what kind of music I like. In that case, let them pay me to share. Yes its nice to resolve one more thing.

Re: Home Sharing
Yep, Tim has it right. The trick is the categories selector. Home Sharing will appear only when there is a Home Sharing iTunes library, i.e. iTunes is running and Home Sharing was switched on. Now, if Apple would allow the download of material to an iOS device from a home share, that would make it all worthwhile.

Hi Donna, If you have a large media collection on your Mac that just won't fit on your iPhone, and if the majority of this media is not purchased so not available in iCloud without an Apple Music or iTunes Match subscription, then streaming music from your Mac through your iPhone may be desirable.

Re: Home Sharing
Hi, Figured it out. It's not a bug, nor a blocked port issue. They've just changed the way it's accessed. If Home Sharing is set up correctly on your computer and iDevice, then using your iPhone, go to the My Music tab, move your finger to the top of the screen where VO announces "My Account". Swipe right a number of times until you hear VO announce "Category, Songs, button". Double-tap on this button then swipe right until you hear Home Sharing. Double-tap on it then select the iTunes Library you wish to stream content from. The Category button is kind of centred on the screen closer to the top after the Recently Added section. It's not particularly intuitive since you need to swipe past some songs before you can find it. Once you locate it though, you're good to go. Later...

Re: Home Sharing
Hi, According to my research, the Shared button should be available within the My Music tab of Music on your iPad. It's different on the iPhone though. I used to see it as a separate tab, but it's been a while since I used it and without my real home network to test things on, I'm unable to verify what the support articles are saying. Regarding the Apple TV, note that you normally go to Computers, then your specific computer, then you have access to the media. this would be similar if the Share button was there for you. Later...

Re: Mac Home Sharing & Plex
My considered opinion is that Apple offers very poor choices for running a dedicated media server. You need iTunes open and running on your dedicated machine, and you also need remote control over that machine, or keyboard access to it, to update the iTunes database any ways besides adding content (which can be done over the network using iTunes’ "Automatically Add to iTunes” folder). This might be feasible if you are one person and you can be relied upon to perform the management, but there’s no hope of centralisation for multiple users, you can’t download to iOS directly from the server, and unless you know of a remote-control tool for Mac it’s going to be a pain anyway. It’s not going to be the dream experience you’re hoping for, I’m afraid. My resolution has been to avoid DRM content as much as possible (which, naturally, is actually quite hard) and then store the media on a NAS, using permissions to handle it on the file server and having people manually copy over what they need into their own libraries. I have an iTunes Match subscription which means I can put into the cloud whatever collections of music or audiobooks I want access to. Then Apple TV streams wherever possible directly from Apple any content I’ve bought or matched with iTunes Match, and only if I need something on my computer do I fire up and minimise iTunes. It’s a pain, really, but it works. I have yet to try Plex, but I know it handles music. Perhaps if it provides better remote management, a Plex server would make a lot of sense. And it’ll run on the cheapest box, or on platforms other than OS X. When I’ve a mind, and if I don’t begrudge them the money, I’ll take a look. Plex doesn’t need a cloud to work, unlike Apple’s services. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.

Mac Home Sharing & Plex
Hello group, I have been exploring various options on streaming music to our 4th Gen Apple TV. Home sharing is working pretty well, though it’s a bummer my MBA needs to be open & awake. Is it the same case with Plex? Is Plex in the cloud or does my MBA need to be open & awake as well? In related to this topic, has anyone turned an older Mac or use a Mac Mini as a dedicated iTunes home sharing system? I can visualize a Mac Mini always on, preferably without a display, but I know that opens up an entire other can of worms. ;) Thanks for the words of tech wisdom. Traci PS. Personally, since they have created the Apple TV with 32gb or 64gb storage, I don’t get why we can’t store our media on it. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.

Home sharing?
Hi list. I'm trying very hard to understand home sharing. I have a MacBook Pro and iPhone 5, both sharing in Apple ID, but I cannot get to home share anything over Wi-Fi or USB. Also, my girlfriend's iPhone 4S should be able to sync with My mac and iPhone 5, but I cannot figure out how to do this. Can someone please walk me through the steps to shut up home sharing? I have home sharing over Wi-Fi turned on on my MacBook. Thanks a lot. Hope everyone's weekend is great. :-) Sent from my iPhone Messengers and Skype: BurningHawk1969 My home page: http://MarkBurningHawk.net Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/markburninghawk.baxter -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Home sharing?
Hi Mark, HomeSharing is a method of sharing media between devices using the same Apple ID within the same subnet. Therefore, this HomeSharing is done via ethernet or a WIFI connection within that network. You must first ensure that HomeSharing is turned on on each device. You can confirm this on your iPhone from within the Music pane of your Settings, just make sure that it has HomeSharing attached to your Apple ID. On the Mac, it is done from within iTunes itself from within the File menu. From your iDevices, you can access iTunes Libraries on your Mac or Macs to play media stored there. The reverse is not possible as far as I can tell. To access media stored on your Mac from your iPhone using HomeSharing, do the following: • Make sure that your Mac is turned on with iTunes open. • Open the Music app on your iPhone. • Open the More button in the bottom right corner. • Navigate until you find the Shared tab and open it. This is where things are not as accessible as they should be. VO will read the label for your iPhone as My iPhone but will not properly announce the HomeSharing items. I checked with my daughter and it appears that the HomeSharing choices are there alphabetically so as you swipe right, you will ascend through any HomeSharing choices. Now, for ease of explanation, I will assume that only one iTunes Library is available, so double-tap on the first item that VO stops at but does not announce and wait a few seconds as the Library is loaded. After it has loaded, you will be presented with a list of available playlists. Double-tap on the one you wish to gain access to and then you can play the music from that playlist. The limitations of HomeSharing from the iPhone prospective is that it seems that you only have access to the music from your HomeSharing Mac whereas when you do this between Macs, all media is sharable. Regarding your girlfriend's iPhone, the only way that you can sync her device with your Mac is if you either set it up from your Mac or if it has never been connected to any other Mac thus the initial pairing is performed to your Mac. Now, if all you wish to do is give her access to your iTunes Library on your Mac, then you can accomplish this by having her iPHone connect to your HomeShare with the same Apple ID as your HomeShare. This will allow streaming of music from your Mac to her iPhone but does not allow for copying of this music to her iPhone. Hope this makes sense. Later...

Re: iTunes (Server, Home Sharing AirPlay)
Hi Neil, I would agree with your first observation. In order to access items using Home Sharing, the computer must have iTunes up and running. Home Sharing allows both streaming and copying of your iTunes media between devices that are registered within the same HomeShare. I've not actually personally experienced the iTunes Server service that you mentioned, but I've read up a little on it. It appears that the iTunes Server sets up a Shared Library on the NAS which can be seen by other devices running iTunes within the same subnet. This is a Shared Library scenario not a Home Sharing scenario. As far as I know, Apple TV requires Home Sharing to be enabled in order to access the iTunes Library of another device. Therefore, I don't believe that you'd be able to use the Shared Library on your NAS to connect an Apple TV. The Shared Library works great between machines running iTunes but the Apple TV is set up a little different I'm sure. This is my best educated guess from what I've read and understand. HTH. Later...

Re: Home Sharing question
Hi, some NAS devices have a iTunes Server. Qnap does have this. But I haven't used it yet. This is a interesting thread since it is what I wanted to do myself as well. I want to access all the movies, audiobooks, music, etc via the NAS on the ITv. But if I cannot control what is seen by who. Then I might have to look at another solution.

Re: Home Sharing question
That's the same reason I first figured it out was to keep the kids from messing up my wife's laptop when they were watching movies and such. I also did the parental controls stuff to keep them from accidentally deleting things. CB On 2/6/12 6:42 PM, Scott Howell wrote: Well I answered my own question and thanks a lot gents.

You'll want to turn on Show fast user switching menu in the Preferences Users Groups Login Options. Then you'll have a new user menu to the right of the clock in the menu bar (VO-M twice and the VO-right a couple times). You should be able to pick each user in turn there to switch back and forth.

Ricardo, I thought about that, but here is a question that perhaps you will have an answer for. So, I have to use my APple ID to setup the Home Sharing.

Re: Home Sharing question
Hi Tim, As I said to Ricardo, this idea crossed my mind, but I am not sure how to tell the APple TV once I use my iCloud/iTunes ID which library needs to be used. I assume the first order of business it is to simply create the library by holding down the option key at startup and setting up the library should be no problem. In fact I could put it on the external drive with the video content. So, just need to know how to get the APple TV to only see that library and especially since it will be on the same machine. Of course I'm sure this will be a ah moment once I hear the solution. :) Thanks, On Feb 5, 2012, at 7:25 PM, Tim Kilburn wrote: Hi Scott, I've only been able to restrict things when using the Sharing pane of iTunes Preferences, not when using Home sharing.

Re: Home Sharing question
Hi, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to use the same apple ID your using now in the new library. I'm not 100% certain of this but, I would think your Apple TV would share with whatever library happens to be active at the time.

Re: Home Sharing question
Hey Tim, Well for now I scrapped the entire idea and just have to accept that everything is exposed. I wish I could use my NAS device for this, but apparently it will not work because the APple TV 2nd generation has to authenticate back to a running version of iTunes. Apple really needs to do a bit of work on Home Sharing in order to ensure a little bit more control. After all you might have small children that you would like to have access to some content and not other content. Of course you are correct in that I could run a VM and I could avoid running windows by instead running Linux and setting up DAAP, but this seems like a lot of workaround for no good reason. :) Of course any other ideas I'm more than happy to hear them.

Re: Home Sharing question
Chris, Yes I understand that is possible, but unfortunately and unless I am missing something here, the issue is I would have to log in as that user and launch iTunes. THis means I could not be logged in as myself because it would not be possible to effectively have two instances of iTUnes running.

Re: Home Sharing question
You can be logged into one box multiple times as different users, each running a copy of iTunes. Each instance of iTunes has it's own library and preferences. So I was logged into my laptop both as myself and an account I called Test. Each one ran iTunes and had sharing turned on. Then on another Mac I pulled up iTunes and saw both Chris Blouch's Library and Test's Library as choices. You'll want to turn on Show fast user switching menu in the Preferences Users Groups Login Options. Then you'll have a new user menu to the right of the clock in the menu bar (VO-M twice and the VO-right a couple times). You should be able to pick each user in turn there to switch back and forth. As a new account you'll need to turn voiceover on again along with any other favorite preference changes since it will all be stock.

Re: Home Sharing question
Hi Scott, If you turn Fast User Switching on in system Preferences, then you can actually have two users logged in at the same time. You should then be able to run iTunes from both accounts like Chris mentioned. When using Fast User Switching, you can just go between the various logged in users by selecting them under the Users menu which is accessed in the Status menu, VO-M-M. Very ingenious idea, much better idea then using up so much memory running a second OS. Later...

Re: Home Sharing question
Hi Scott, The Username of the user account is immaterial to the Apple ID. If most of your media content is tied to your Apple ID, and in order to use Home sharing properly, you'll probably need to use the same Apple ID. This will not use up a computer authorization as that is already handled via the MAC Address of the machine. You may, though, need to make copies of the media you wish in the second library which will use up HD space, but I think that's the best option. Later...

Hey Tim, Yep it works and the way I worked around the issue of the media was to keep it on an external drive and do not let iTunes import it. Since this is what I wanted to do from the beginning, I got what I intended accomplished. The whole idea was to put the movies and other video content on a drive that was available to the APple TVs.

If most of your media content is tied to your Apple ID, and in order to use Home sharing properly, you'll probably need to use the same Apple ID.

Home Sharing question
Hi all, I am trying to figure out how I can share specific content via Home Sharing. I do not want to expose my entire music catalog, but only specific videos etc. I have not found a way to do this. The idea is to share these videos so they can be played on the Apple TV. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can just share the content I want instead of everything?

Re: iOS 4.3 to Launch on March 11th: HotSpot, Faster Safari, iTunes Home Sharing
I want a braille pen!!! From what I read they are nice, and the focus 40 blue, when I tried it at least, had one of the worst keyboards I've ever used - even worse than some phones! Just my oppinion, but if I'm paying for something at that price I want it to feel somewhat pricy, as well - the plasticky feel of the focus didn't impress me much. The buttons on said keyboard felt like just that, buttons. There was hardly any movement to them, it was as though I was pressing the on off button. So my fingers cramped quite quickly.

the hello, I'm just curious you mention that they been deal with Bluetooth Trail, from what I understand it varies by display you support to an IOS when it comes to Bluetooth braille. So my question is what kind of braille display you have? Just curious. Cheers Maurice.

Re: iOS 4.3 to Launch on March 11th: HotSpot, Faster Safari, iTunes Home Sharing
What, exactly, is broken about bluetooth braille? I have a BrailleNote Apex and use it several times a week. Aside from the initial pairing process, which I have only had to do a couple times, things could not be easier. The one major problem I have is lack of computer braille and/or a better translator, but if you type quickly it is really not a problem. Of course there is always room for improvement, but I have not yet found anything that needs fixing (aside from the translation trouble).

Re: iOS 4.3 to Launch on March 11th: HotSpot, Faster Safari, iTunes Home Sharing
I see. I did not realize there was a problem with some displays; my Apex does not do it, and I had not seen it on the aiphone list. Well, hopefully that gets fixed; pairing is such a painful process, especially with the time limit of about two seconds!

I think I need home sharing?
Hi guys, I've got to teach ITunes pretty soon. I'm dreading it. anyway, I have to bite the bullet and force myself to do this. So, for my first trick, I need to install ITunes for windows, and then I need my libraries on the windows and mac machines to be exactly the same so that I can plug my ITouch into either one without wrecking things up. Is this what home sharing is for? If so, are there tutorials or podcasts or something to tell me how to make it work? I'm looking at this from a teaching standpoint. Some of my clients will want ITunes for mac and others will want windows and so I need to be able to test using both without the thing complaining about how many computers it's being plugged into and threatening to wipe my data. Thanks for any help.

Re: I think I need home sharing?
Hi Eric, If I'm understanding you correctly, then the short answer is No. Home Sharing gives you the ability to share libraries within your subnet. That is, if you have multiple computers, you can access each computer's library from the other as well as copy items between them. It can automatically add new purchases to each library as well. It is possible also to, for example, maintain one library on one computer, then simply access that same library from the other without actually needing to place any media files on the second computer. In this case though, you should always use the first computer as the computer that you would purchase media on so that you can maintain which library is complete. There are ways around this within the Settings but it would be more reliable doing this as I mentioned. The Home Sharing is not only limited to two computers and although I don't have a PC in my network, I'm sure that as long as you're using the same iTunes account, Home Sharing is available between all the machines. I believe the limit is five machines within one Home Sharing group. So, I believe that you would still get the message about connecting your iPod to more than one Library as this is more an iPod thing than a Home Sharing thing. HTH. Later...

Re: Can't Get Home Sharing Working
Hi, Home sharing is for iTunes only. Once you've turned it on for all computers attached to the same iTunes account, you'll find the other computer s in the Sources Table within the Shared section. This section is just after the iTunes Store and/or Devices items if you have them enabled or something attached. You must have iTunes on for any machine you wish to access, otherwise, it won't show up in the list. Also, once you select the other computer from the list, there are settings options you can set to control what is automatically brought to each computer. HTH. Later...

Re: Can't Get Home Sharing Working
Did you go to finder and press command shift K? That should open network and then you can see your shares with the arrow keys.

Re: Can't Get Home Sharing Working
Hi Mark: Be sure that home sharing is enabled on both computers, with iTunes open on each. Now, if you interact with your osource list, you should be able to see the library of the alternate computer there. I think it will give some indication that it is a remote library.

Re: Home sharing
Hello Julie, I am catching up on email so am sure this question has been completely answered but, just in case it has not, the answer to your question is yes; one can not only play media from one Mac/PC to another using Home Sharing but one can actually import the media to another Mac/PC also. I have done this several times. It may not be as straight forward as many would like you to think but it can be done and once done, it is a proverbial piece of cake.

RE: Home sharing
Hi Julie, What I found confusing when setting up home sharing was that for some reason, when typing in the password box, VO didn't make the accustomed secure text clicking sounds. So, even though there was no feedback indicating that text was being entered, it was in actuality, happening. How long have you been a Mac user now? I think many of us are in the same boat in terms of the learning curve. I've only begun to seriously immerse myself in the environment over the past few months, and am really enjoying it thus far. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of 504a...@gmail.com Sent: Sunday, August 01, 2010 12:21 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Home sharing Hello Nice to meet you too All help would be greatly appreciated.
