Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are receiving an "error 5506" message when setting up Home Sharing, make sure that iTunes is authorized with your Apple ID:
How do I authorize a computer?
- Open iTunes on the computer you want to authorize.
- Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You might need to show the menu barto see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu. - Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still use it to authorize your computer.
If iTunes asks you to authorize your computer again, it won't use a new authorization. iTunes uses the same authorization for the same computer.
From:
Authorize your computer using iTunes
Best Regards,
Jeremy
