Home Share on my laptop isn't picking up other devices that have Home Share turned on.

With both the family computer and my laptop having my iTunes account on them i have turned the Home Share but only the family computer will pick up my laptop while my laptop does not pick up the family computer and it is annoying me cause i need my purchases on my laptop not the computer. So how do i get my laptop to register other devices AFTER Home Share is turned on?

Hey FoxMiiRURU,

In order to get Home Sharing working on all the relevant devices on your network, follow the steps in this article -

iTunes: Setting up Home Sharing on your computer - Apple Support

Of particular importance is - Be sure to use the same Apple ID when enabling Home Sharing on all computers you intend to share with.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Be well,
