Ventura OS Home Share Issue

Hello,


I have a hard time to set up "Home Share" feature in Ventura OS. My another Mac, which still has Monterey OS, can be configured "Home Share" successfully.

Apple's insturction does not work in Ventura OS from other friends as well.

Please share any workaround if you already know.

The activation of Home Share is not even working from Ventura OS. I toggled “ON” on media sharing and it required to sign in my Apple ID, but it stuck on there.

In System Settings -> Users & Groups, create a new user account. Sign-in to your iCloud account. Turn on Media Sharing. If that works then your user profile is corrupted. There's a million little configurations in your /Users/<username>/Library folder tree and something is broken. Since it's iCloud based it could be extremely complex to resolve. You can try contacting Apple Support directly for assistance in fixing it. But migrating your data without the Library files will fix the issue, it's just tedious and time consuming, etc.

No, there's something borken.

I have 3 Macs. 2 running Ventura and 1 running Mojave. All 3 have Home Sharing enabled using the same Apple ID (The Ventura ones have it enabled via System Settings, the Mojave one has it enabled via iTunes).

The library from the Mojave system appears in home sharing on my iPhone, my iPad and my apple TV.

The libraries from the Ventura systems do not appear on any devices.
