Q: Home sharing. Video freezes after a minute on iPhone 4S when homesharing using iOS8

Hi Guys,

I made the dreaded mistake of updating my iPhone 4S to iOS8 on Monday evening. Ever since then it's been either impossible to access home sharing from my iTunes on my MacBook (latest software) or if I can access it, the videos freeze after 1 minute of watching and there is no way to start it again.

Is this an iOS8 bug? It's ruined my iPhone enjoyment and made me think twice about my faith in Apple products.

 

Thank you,

Paul

iPhone 4S, iOS 8.1.3

    Hello PaulCrowd, 

     

    Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 

     

    It sounds like you're not able to view videos using Home Sharing from your MacBook after updating to iOS 8. It can definitely be frustrating when issues occur after an update. 

     

    It looks like you found the right article for troubleshooting this situation--Troubleshooting Home Sharing. Be sure to try the steps 3 - 7 mentioned in this guide. 

     

    After these, one additional step to try is resetting network settings on your iPhone:

    Reset your Network Settings. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you’ve used before.

    All the best,
