Hi everyone,
I have my Remote app set up on my iPhone to work with my Apple TV. This was easy because my Apple TV is linked with my Apple ID Account (which is obviously identified with both my phone and my computer). When I went to set my wife's Remote app up on her iPhone, I get a message that says "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV using the account [Name of Wife's Account]."
On the Apple TV, Home Sharing is on and I still get this message.
The apple webpage for homesharing states "Once set up, all the libraries from these computers will show up in the Shared area of iTunes:"
The webpage says "...you will need to turn on Home Sharing on each computer using the same Apple ID. Once set up, all the libraries from these computers will show up in the Shared area of iTunes:"
My wife does not have an Apple computer. Only an iPad. She does not use iTunes at all.
I king-of understand why Apple wants this device (her iPhone) to be linked up with the Home Sharing network (in my house). But how does this work if she does not use iTunes? I am trying to figure out the message I first stated at the top... "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV using the account [Name of Wife's Account]."
Again, Apple TV has Home sharing turned on.
I just want to link her phone up. How do I do this and why do I have to? Shouldn't there just be a way to use her phone as a remote without making it a part of my Home Sharing network?
Thanks guys.
