OS: Ventura
I follow the instruction on how to turn Home Share.
After input all the settings, I was prompted for Apple ID and then password.
As I submit the password, it just stuck and won't a tiny spinner in the Apple ID field keep spinning. Any help appreciated!

Ok I managed to make it work, this is definitely a bug somewhere.
Apple support didn't get back to me as they promised, very disappointing.
So it seems like there are 3 settings that have to be "On" in order for Home sharing to work.
The 3 settings has to be turn on in the order above. Also, I experience time lags between steps for it to work, so if you do the 3 steps in quick succession , it will not work.
Here is what seems to work for me.
This worked for me, hopefully for you as well.
Good luck!

Sign out of iCloud and back in again...compare your results.

Sign out of iCloud on your... Mac - Apple Support
Two things, first a BIG THANK YOU to oduj0okg for this. I was converting from a 2018 Mini to a new 2023 Mac Mini and everything was working except this. Frustrated and bummed all day (and night) until I found your post.
Second, In case this happens to someone: I followed the steps and waited 20 minutes between each step. When I tried to activate media sharing the darn thing kept spinning, I waited 20 minutes then force killed settings. I figured I would backup what I had so far, and while doing that I figured I would try turning media sharing on and let is spin while backing up. Lo and behold it was on! So, if you follow the steps above and it still spins a long time, kill it and check again.
Thank you so much for taking the time to post this. I do the same thing from time to time when I found a solution.
I've had the same issue several times. Some times a new Ventura installation worked. But last time it didn't. homesharingd wasn't present. Tried to copy one and start it from terminal - no luck. I had to install Monterey and start homesharing from there and then upgrade to Ventura and this works but a clean install does not.
I get the same result. Endless spinner after entering my password. Tried signing out of iCloud and rebooting.
Same result, I wish it was that easy.
I have talked to Apple support and they did collect data on my machine. They promise they will get back to me in a couple of days, I'll post update when I get it.
Please share the answer! I have completely the same problem.
It looks like it is a bug of Ventura.
Everything works grate on my old Mac with Monterey OS
It works!!!
Many thanks to you =)
Any update?
Cannot turn on Home sharing?
