Home Sharing error 5507

I had i.e. HAD the same problem. It was pure luck that what I did turned out to be another step, not quite the 'message on my mobile/iPhone' rather something else. When I attempted to login using my MacBook Mountain Lion, I would receive the 5507 error. Then when I went to my iPad there was a message there indicating someone was trying to login to my Apple Account near Toronto, Ontariol/Canada. I'm 3+ hours away from there via Air Canada. SO, i ticked Don't Allow. When this repeated itself, I reckoned it had to be me that was being attempting the login SO... this time I ticked ALLOW and Bingo up popped the 6 digit code, which I inserted immediately after my pswd. This allowed me to turn on Home Sharing.

Thanks! It does work!

Same thing, but my error message is 5599... apple help is really no

help at all!

to implant personal share

home sharing error 5507

OMG! Cmon Apple??? Fix your sh*t!!! I pay all this god d**n money for your products..... I expect them to work!

Your work-around is great.

@Apple should be mortified by this error. It's bad enough that it happens, but throwing an effing content-free, numbered error message!? Jeez, I might as well be using Windows!

Adding my thanks and a razzie to Apple too.

A further question: Now I am unable to add a family member. When I go to icloud prefs and try to add a family member, I get a request to enter my password to make changes to the account. When I enter my PW the same window pops up again.

This may be due to the fact that I am running Yosemite?

I've tried this numerous times. When I enter the password with the verification code, I then receive a message that states the password is incorrect. It isn't! I can access my other devices using this code. I am unable to set-up Homesharing and Apple TV. I've been at it for about 2 hours, and I am ready to call it quits!!!! I am hating Apple Support right now! ARGGGGG!

I was having trouble connecting home sharing with the apple tv for weeks! Completely fed up! Everything was authorized, logged into the same apple ID, and on the same network (Wifi), yet I wasn't able to see my library on the tv. The apple tv was logging in with the apple ID but when I went to turn on home sharing on the computer I would get the error message "home sharing error 5507." So I decided to check my apple account. I opened safari and went to appleid.apple.com and logged into my account. Scroll down to the security section and check if the two-factor authentication is on. If so, turn it off. Once you finish the steps to turn the two-factor authentication off. Try turning home sharing on, with all your devices. You might have to restart your devices. Very important to make sure that all the devices are authorized and on the same Wifi network. Hope this helps!

See Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support. Perhaps you need to set/update your list of trusted devices.
