Import media using Home Sharing in the Apple TV app on Mac

When you have Home Sharing enabled on multiple computers, you can import purchased, downloaded movies and TV shows from the media library of one computer to another. You can import from up to five different libraries.

1. On the Mac you want to import from, turn on Home Sharing and open the Apple TV app .

2. On the Mac you’re importing to, make sure Home Sharing is on, then open the Apple TV app .

3. In the sidebar, move the pointer to the right of the Library heading, click Edit, select Home Sharing, then click Done (next to Library).

   Note: If you’ve previously added Home Sharing to the sidebar, you can skip this step.

4. In the sidebar, select Home Sharing, then click a shared library on the right.

5. Click the Show pop-up menu at the bottom of the window, then choose “Items not in my library.”

6. Choose a shared library category on the left (Movies or TV Shows, for example), select the items you want to import on the right, then click Import.

Any time you download an item you’ve purchased to a computer in your Home Sharing network, you can have the item download automatically to the other computers in the network as well.
