I don't know if either of these will be helpful to you and might just be
shot in the dark. Firstly, in iTunes preferences in the sharing tab under
advance button, do you have the box to share your iTunes library on the network
checked? I don't know if this is required, but I have it checked on my Mac
Book Pro and Mini. Secondly, are you sure the home sharing isn't turned on
already? I just got a Mini and when I went to the advance menu, home sharing
was already turned on.
