    When will Apple fix the iTunes Home Sharing?

    I can't get my iPad to reliably play movies and tv shows that are in my iTunes library through home sharing. I get a 'timed out' statement, or, if the program starts it will only play for a few seconds. It seems as if the entire program needs to download to the iPad before it will play - but I...

Apple basically has us in their pocket, with the exception of a Google Home, which will be replaced by a HomePod or Sonos One (unsure still). We're also big music listeners...soooo, it...

    Install older versions of apps with iTunes

    So I hate the new version of iTunes, specifically how Apps, Books, and Ringtones are not managed the way they were in the past. I've got a pretty good handle on how to transfer books and ringtones over, but here's my app issue. I like getting updates for apps. But I don't like automatic...

    I have number of songs in my iTunes iCloud Library stuck with in the "waiting" status. Not sure what the cause of this is as some songs are uploaded and some are not, there doesn't appear to be a visible pattern for which ones get stuck as they are a mixture of different file types (MP3 and M4A)...

    Streaming 4K Files to the Apple TV

    Hi All, Is it possible to play a 4K Movie file on the Apple TV? Can you do this by adding 4K mp4s to iTunes, and stream it the conventional way in full quality? If not, can you use some other service like PLEX? Thanks all, Chris

    Send a notification if server app crashes?

    I have iTunes running on an old iMac as a server, sending content to my Apple TV. Every now and then, iTunes crashes and the Apple TV, obviously, can't find it as a result. Is there an app out there that will detect when iTunes has crashed (or simply isn't running) and send a notification...

    Selling music, books and movies

    Hi, If I buy a book, CD, DVD etc. I can sell it again if I want to. In theory, the same could be possible if I buy an iBook, some music and movies in iTunes. I can understand why Apple doesn't have the feature to sell items bought in their store, but is it actually legal? Shouldn't I have the...
