Sep 8, 2015 9:06 AM in response to Dantariby banner1124,Has anyone confirmed whether or not Home sharing works with the latest version of iTunes? And I mean works out of the box. No tweaks, no changing settings... does it work? I was never able to address this issue so I downgraded to iTunes 11 and don't plan to upgrade until I can be confident that home sharing will still work.
I mostly use the feature when i'm traveling for work and have zero control over my network so I can't do any sort of router tweaks or things of that nature. And quite frankly, I shouldn't have to. To have home sharing working one day and then not the next after an update is unacceptable.

Sep 18, 2015 10:04 PM in response to banner1124by MB_Vancouver,Spent 3 hours trying to fix this. I tried everything and can't get it to work. Used to work like a charm. This is so frustrating. Wondering if upgrading to windows 10 would help.

Sep 26, 2015 12:25 AM in response to BerettaBoyby StringerBellAD,2 new port Rules (UDP 5353 and TCP 3689) in Windows Firewall worked perfect for me with Win10 Desktop and newest itunes. No restart needed. Works instantly no other changes needed. Typically windows geek sh*t ;-) Love it. Thanks BerettaBoy.

Very simple. -
Oct 9, 2015 11:15 AM in response to StringerBellADby redsox1900,I've NEVER had home sharing working on my ipad, and it's driving me MAD. I don't believe I need to change any firewall settings since sharing works PERFECTLY on my apple tv and an 8 year old windows laptop. I just don't understand how sharing can work flawlessly on an old PC but not at all on an APPLE iPad...

Dec 19, 2015 3:57 AM in response to Dantariby kittynipsuzy,My iMac and Macbook Pro are now sharing. Signed out or iTunes store and turned off home sharing everywhere, powered everything down and unplugged (computers and all routers/modems). Started routers/modems up first, then computers. Signed into iTunes and turned on home sharing. The computers are now playing my music. Haven't solved the problem with home sharing and my iPhone yet.
