    I am trying to use home sharing in itunes to keep my itunes library on my imac and on my pc laptop up to date with each other. I have an eircom wireless router and am connected to it on each of the devices. However they cant seem to find each other. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Any help would be really appreciated.

    I am using Snow Leopard on my imac and vista on my pc. I dont know why it doesnt work because there was no problem when i was jus using my mac to create a wireless network. the pc recognised it no probs.

    There's a troubleshooting guide here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972

    Assuming you've enabled Home Sharing in iTunes on both machines and they're both configured with the same iTunes account, I'd guess a firewall is blocking the connection.

    If you turn off Vista's firewall, does it start working?
