Hello CrzyBoy777,


We understand that you don't see the media sharing option when trying to set it up through these settings: Set up media sharing on Mac


Is the account that you're using an administrator account? Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac


Also, has this worked in the past or was this the first time that you were trying to use it?


Thanks!

Home Sharing works when both source and destination device are active and on the same network. For Mojave and earlier iTunes needs to be running. (In Catalina and later shared libraries are still available when Music is closed.) You can use Home Sharing between computers on your network to both play and copy from one library to another. iOS devices can play from a home shared library, but you cannot copy content to the device, you would need to sync from the library to copy the files such that they can be played when you're away from your network.
