Hey MaryACNYC,



Thanks for the question. I understand you have encountered error -3150 while attempting to use Home Sharing. This error message usually relates to connection issues with the iTunes Store. Because an active connection is required for Home Sharing, the following troubleshooting applies to your issue:


"Error -3150"


This alert is often related to a lost connection to the iTunes Store.


If you encounter this alert and you have verified you have a connection to the Internet using Wi-Fi, please review AirPort and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference.


If the issue persists, and you're using iTunes for Windows, you may need to flush your DNS and remove pop-up or ad-blockers.


Finally, this can occur due to timeouts caused by security software.



Additionally, you may find the troubleshooting steps in this article helpful:
