Q: Home Sharing not working - iTunes 11.1.2 / iOS 7.0.3

For/If somebody who uses iTunes Home Sharing - has home sharing stopped working for you after updating to iTunes to 11.1.2 or OS X Mavericks? Both of those updates were released and applied on the same day. Before these two updates, it was working fine. Just trying to figure out which is possibly the problem and how to fix it. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

 

BEFORE

OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5

iTunes 11.1 or 11.1.1

 

AFTER

OS X Mavericks

iTunes 11.1.2

 

Devices on the Network

(Device ... Operating System ... Network Connection Type)

Mac Mini ... OS X Mavericks 10.9 … Wired

MacBook Pro(MBP) ... OS X Mavericks 10.9 … Wi-Fi

iPhone 5 ... iOS 7.0.3 … Wi-Fi

iPhone 5 ... iOS 6.1.4 ... Wi-Fi

iPad 3rd Gen … iOS 7.0.2 ... Wi-Fi

 

The Home Sharing is still working fine between the OS X devices (Mac Mini and MBP). But none of the iOS devices detect either of the Home Sharing Libraries (Mac Mini and MBP library). Also, since all three iOS devices are running three different iOS versions, i dont believe it is not an iOS problem.

iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.3

    Diabling ipv6 will fix your problem.  It s another network protocol (not sure what it is used for but the original protocol we have been using for years is ipv4).  Once you disable this on your network card, your home sharing will work again.  I spent over a week in January with Apple Support and the Netgear support staff (I have a netgear nighthawk router).  They all had me uninstall and reinstall iTunes, reload the firmware on my router, reset and reload my Apple TV multiple times.  None of this things fixed the problem.  The problem began when iTunes 11 was released.  i found an obsure post on my own after exhausting every option with Apple Support and Netgear support - the post said to disable ipv6, which is normally enabled along with ipv protocol on your network card.   As soon as I disabled ipv6 - home sharing was up and running and I could access movies on my Apple TV again.  I started this post about this simple fix as soon as I found it.
