XAV101 not passing iTunes Sharing
I really like the speed of my Powerline network but the XAV101s are not allowing iTunes sharing. I have my iTunes Library on my iMac office computer and try to stream iTunes to my MacBook laptop in th...
Me again!
I've just tried Home Sharing in my non-powerline environment, ie; WiFi, with my iMac running iTunes 10.2.1 (OS X 10.6.x) as the "Host" of the Home Sharing setup, and an Acer laptop running iTunes 10.x (not sure exactly what version, 10.2.1 is downloading as I type) and Windows 7. The PC laptop could see and access my Library via Home Sharing, so I know the setup works.
When the powerline adapters turn up I will re-test and post my results.
However, whilst researching things, I found this thread on Apple's support forums. I think the OP is the same on that thread and this one, and the key portion is the last post, which seems to indicate a solution to the issue. The post in question is:
Tracy, I would just like to thank you for your input...I got it to work. If the issue comes up again, here's what I did. I made sure the music library sharing was enabled on BOTH machines as suggested. It still didn't work. So after making those changes I unplugged the two adaptors, hit their reset buttons and voila the library appeared on m laptop.
These are REALLY FAST....much faster than wifi. My itunes library which takes several minutes to load over wifi took about 3 seconds. Thank you for all your help it is greatly appreciated.
So perhaps a reset on the powerline adapters is all that is needed?
