Q: Home Sharing error 5507

i am getting same error

I have this issue on my imac, cannot share with iphone, ipad or macbook air   very frustrating and no resolution online

Are you getting this on a PC or Mac?

If on a Mac, are you using El Capitan?

OS X El Capitan is OS X 10.11. You can likely get it for free from the Mac App Store.

If you want to know what it's got, there's http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/

You can check your OS X version by using the  menu and 'About this Mac'

It goes:

El Capitan (10.11)

Yosemite (10.10)

Mavericks (10.9)

Mountain Lion (10.8)

Lion (10.7)

If you are using an older mac with a version of iTunes that is 11.4 or later, try typing your password and the passcode that is sent to your mobile device.

This worked for me.

This has just been annoying me for the last two hours!! Anyway, Here's how I finally got it sorted.

1. Type in your apple i.d and password and hit the 'turn on home sharing button'

2. Box shows up with 5507 error ( as usual)

3. Wait until the 6 digit access code pops up on your iPhone. ( I'm assuming it will pop up on your iPad too???) Mine came through after about ten seconds or so while I was cursing at the monitor!

4.Retype your apple i.d. password with the 6 digit code added to it.

Bingo! Home sharing lives!

Hope it works for you too

YOU GENIUS!!! Thank you. Been spending weeks trying to work out why my phone wouldn't accept my Home Sharing Password.

Thanks Kinhippy, AWESOME, I've spent a week trying to fix this, shame Apple!
