Music home sharing no longer available after ios 8.4 update?

When I had 8.3 installed on my iPhone 5s. I could wander around the house and listen to my iTunes library via my Bluetooth headphones and life was good. The only thing missing was iTunes Genius.

Bring back Sharing, or tell us which of your competitor that can support this.

This is upsetting!!! 😠

Apple simply goes the wrong way !

Okay - Feature request:

We demand private streaming from itunes worldwide. More that before killing the family share option, not less.

A itunes server app - one that can stream my own music, audiobooks and videos to any of my apple products (where technical possible).
YOU guys from Apple know my products. I would not stream to half of the world or to piratetistan (left of robberland).
Because you know how much of your products i own, you know where i am, you know the serials. You could limit MY streams to ME.

And i agree with this, if it works.

You are locking Messages and Facetime in a similar way - the Hackintoshs have several unsolved problems with it.

I do NOT want a Apple music - a streaming radio - because i HAVE several local stations for free, in digital quality, with news and comedy and new music i like. I don't need this and i do not buy this. There is no benefit worth 10 dollars. Simple.

There a possibilities as described in the "other world" - the "bad world" - let's call it "Android".

I do NOT want to pay less bucks for a Samsung and have less problems with MY stuff.

I liked Apple, but they are losing the focus and that is the customer.

Apple is losing it's top place for features and stability.

I own music. Enough PAID music. And Apple ignores this. So, Tim Cook, can you tell me, why a user shouldn't ignore YOU ?

Paying 3 billion dollars for a third class music service and some headphones - okay, your problem. But what about 100k dollars for developing

a itunes server app ? I would like MY stuff everywhere and to do it in a centralized (iCloud) way would NOT be the right way.

You have fraternized with the "music industry". They want to steal now the music we bought from them. Do not help them.

So, please let me access MY music worldwide with my Apple products or my actual Apple products will be the last.

Other mothers have nice daughters, too.

Tempily, I'm a huge fan of Plex, but it is almost useless for a large library of iTunes Classical music. It doesn't let you sort by Composer, or see groupings (which is what Classical music listeners use to group together tracks of multi-movement works). Plex is totally awesome for video as it plays (and streams), just about anything on anything, (even outside the home, if you buy a Plex Pass), but it can't even begin to replace Home Sharing in iTunes (or won't be able to until they understand how to read iTunes' metadata better).

This is horrible news. Apple has been making it increasingly more difficult to share or stream legitimately owned music. It started when they disabled the ability to move files from a computer to any ipod. Then they disabled the ability to easily share/transfer a playlist. Now they disabled the last essential feature that I value in this paternalistic ecosystem; the ability to access and stream a music collection from a central source. They main reason I drank the Apple Kool Aid was to organize, share, and stream my music. Now that this has been removed, I will no longer support this company. For a company that utilized Orwellian ideology to promote their product, they ironically have assumed the role they supposedly mocked in full force.

Works fine for me -- I've found it's better from Plex Media Server on a Mac than Windows. Sorry it's not working well for you :-(

I will be downloading Music Bee as my music manager as well as making the move from the iOS "walled garden". Phone contract up soon, not soon enough apparently. Thanks to good resell value, I will do alright making the switch. Hey, that was an older Apple slogan! Make the switch. I am not sure this is what they had in mind.

...bye then... 😁

i downgraded to iOS 8.3 a few minutes ago,

restored a backup and now it's working again.

Do it NOW or Apple closes the signing window in the next days.

A downgrade will not be possible after Apple denies the signing !

Google for "Downgrade 8.4 to 8.3",

ℹ Keeping in mind that lots of security fixes are also part of they upgrade to 8.4.

Usability versus security.

No, let's say: less security because of poor quality assurance processes.

And less usablitly because of ..uh..poor quality assurance processes ?

See other bugs, like the audiobook-ibooks-title-issue.

No. Apple has lost competence in quality in it's software division since iOS 7

8.4 is a step backwards again

They should focus on the problems, not on new features like that "We, too"-Music-Service and whiter - whitest - magical UI.

This fix worked for me -- I updated my (Early 2008) Mac and checked to make sure my Apple TV had the latest software. (the ATV reported the software was up to date)

In the "General" menu I scrolled down to RESTART on the Apple TV.

Waiting for the Apple TV to reboot completely, opened iTunes on My Mac. (made sure Home sharing was turned ON on both the Mac and the Apple TV)

Main Menu of Apple TV, clicked on Computers, all my Music and Video was ready to play.

Hope this helps.

By your definition every OS on the planet has 'poor quality assurance processes'... lol 😁

Especially the ones Apple knows about for years like "Freak".

i don't like your way to communicate. You don't have any solutions but praying for the next update.

I"m not interested in paying to listen to my own music.

Bad move apple, big fail.
