Unable to turn on home sharing - have tried it all
Hi all,
As I pull the last remaining hairs out of my head trying to fix this, I throw it out to the Apple community to hopefully help me here.
I cannot for the life of me, get home sharing to work between my Mac Mini (late 2012 model) and any iOS devices on my wifi network (iPhone 4, 4s and iPad 2).
And when I say I've tried it all, I mean I've tried it all:
* made sure my router settings were set as per Apple's requirements (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US);
* made sure my router wasn't using ipv6;
* deauthorised/reauthorised my machine;
* reset network settings on my iOS device;
* a plethora of other fixes on these boards from people who have been more successful.
You name it, I've done it.
I've ensured all devices are on the same network.
I've even tinkered with NAT and Firewall settings in my router as experimentation.
The problem seems to be network related. It's only when I turn wifi off and then on again on my Mac Mini, that the sharing option will appear on my iPad.
However when I select it, (ie Mac Mini Library), it attempts to connect, the spinning circle stops half way and then alerts me "Unable to turn on home sharing".
It's like something is preventing the connection.
Help me Apple Community, you're my only hope.
Mac mini (Late 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
