Other computers and devices on your network cannot play items on your computer until they are given permission to access your Player library. You can either choose to manually allow only specific computers and devices to access your library or you can choose to automatically allow all computers and devices on your network to access your library.
Do one of the following:
To manually allow specific computers and devices to access your library, click the arrow below the Library tab, and then click Media Sharing. Click Settings, and then clear the Allow new devices and computers automatically check box.
If the Settings button does not appear on the Media Sharing dialog box, media sharing is not turned on. For information about how to turn on media sharing, see Share your media with other people or devices.
When the Allow new devices and computers automatically check box is cleared and the Player detects a new computer or device on your network that has not been allowed to access your Player library, you will be prompted to manually configure the computer or device to access your library. For information about how to configure computers or devices to access your library, see the customizing which devices have access to your library section in this topic.
To automatically allow all computers and devices on your home network to access your Player library, click the arrow below the Library tab, and then click Media Sharing. Click Settings, and then select the Allow new devices and computers automatically check box.
If the Settings button does not appear on the Media Sharing dialog box, media sharing is not turned on. For information about how to turn on media sharing, see Share your media with other people or devices.
When the Allow new devices and computers automatically check box is selected and the Player detects a new computer or device on your network that has not been allowed to access your library, the device or computer will automatically be allowed to access your library. Note that this check box does not override any changes you make in the Media Sharing - Customize dialog box. For example, if you click the Customize button and then deny a specific device access to your library, it will continue to be denied even if the Allow new devices and computers automatically check box is selected.
Warning
If you select the Allow new devices and computers automatically check box, potentially any device on your network will be able to see and play all the items in your Player library. For example, if you have a laptop and you use it outside of your home (such as at work or in location that offers public Internet access), you might inadvertently share your media with other computers or devices in that location. For this reason, we recommend that you only select this check box if you are connected to a secure network (such as a home network that is password-protected) and you trust all the devices on that network. For more information, see Privacy and security considerations when sharing media.
