Inspired by OtherJuicyStar07's video "Juicy Jabber: iMac, TV, Dear John, and Your Help! " This video will teach you how to use iTunes' Homesharing feature which lets you transfer music from other iTunes libraries.

  • home sharing doesn't show up... help please....

  • @joshdawall

    The first thing I would try is to go to Advanced and check to make sure that one of the options is "Turn off Home Sharing." If, instead, it says "Turn on Home Sharing" then click that.

    If that doesn't work then go to Edit then Preferences. In the tabs at the top, click "sharing" and make sure that the boxes for "Look for shared Libraries" and "Share my Library on my local network" are checked. Click ok.

    Another thing that could be the problem is that there are no other computers on your network that have itunes open and homesharing turned on. So you could try repeating the steps above on those computers. And make sure that all the computers have itunes open.

    Hope that helps and if you're still having problems then just tell me and I'll try to figure out what's wrong.

  • ok cann u share w. anyone in the world? like a person tht lives lke a couple minutes away from u? or no?

  • @jellyxoxo1

    Sorry, you can only share with people that are on the same network as you are. So you could have like a friend come over and have to them connect to your wireless network and share with them. But remember you also have to connect to the same iTunes Account.
