Hey, guys! I'm having some problems with home sharing and the questions submitted in the forums didn't adjust to my case precisely, and I followed the instructions on the troubleshooting site and everything was good.

I've never been able to use home sharing before, nor now either. I have a MacBook Pro (13", mid-2012) with OS X 10.8.4 running iTunes 11.1, an iPhone 5 with iOS 7 and an iPad 2 with iOS 7 as well. I tried to connect via home sharing before from my iDevices (running the latest iOS 6 then), to be able to access to my MacBook's music library, but to no avail.

Being a little more descriptive, when I was trying to connect from my iDevice I always got the error message "Cannot activate 'Home Sharing'" —or, in spanish, "No se puede activar 'Compartir en casa'"—. Maybe I should also say that the Remote App doesn't work either, neither with the Home Sharing way nor the 4-number-code way. Is it maybe a network issue? My devices are connected to the same network, and iTunes detects the iPhone trying to control the music with the Remote App (I even put the 4-digit code, and it says it's connected) but doesn't work either.

Well, I hope I've made myself clear and you guys could help me out. Thanks in advance!
