Home Sharing works, but not able to transfer files between PCs.

I have two laptops at home, one is an old one I keep dedicated to my Apple TV 2nd Gen. (so I don't have to have my laptop on, or my wife can use the ATV if I'm at work w/ my laptop, etc.)
Anyway, I sync all my media between both computers so when my laptop is not home, ATV still has full media function (as does my laptop).  Used to be able to connect via Home Sharing and there was a drop-down menu with an option at the bottom of the Library to show only those files not in my library.  I would use that function to transfer all recently added media to the ATV laptop.  Since upgrading to iTunes 10, that dropdown menu is nowhere to be found.  Any ideas?
I can still connect and play media through Home Sharing, but if my primary laptop leaves the range of the network, the new media content on it can't be accessed on ATV.  Primary laptop is Windows 7, ATV-dedicated lap is on Windows XP.
Was the ability to transfer files through Home Sharing lost between iTunes 9 and 10 or did this feature just get moved somewhere else?  If it was lost, how can I revert back to iTunes 9?  If nothing else, I can just transfer via an external HD, but was just very convenient and easy through Home Sharing...
Thanks for any input!

    What do you mean by "won't pick up the songs"?
    You can only sync with one iTunes library. However, you can manage mauic and videos among different computer by:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    You can transfer iTunes purchases to a computer by:

    To avoid that I would recommend deleting the folder first the copying won't be an issue or deleting all the files in the directory. I know this is an extra step but just like the warning on plastic bags someone somewhere did something they shouldn't have
    Sorry, I have been there.
    So generally it will ask you if you want to do this for X number of files
    IT SHOULD ASK ONCE AND ONLY ONCE
    I SAY YES AND GO AWAY AND I HAVE TO COME BACK AND HIT YES AGAIN

    The tech tool diagnostic software (as part of apple care protection plan) stops in the middle of scanning.

    First, know that if you have any old PPC-only applications they will no longer work. You should uninstall them completely. Secondly, applications that don't work may require upgrades for compatibility with Mountain Lion. Thirdly, you may have a dysfunctional upgrade for which you should try this:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • ITunes 10.5.2 Snow Leopard: home sharing works but what has happened to "show items not on my computer"

    Question says it all: I can still see and play music from another home shared Mac, but in this latest iTunes version the option dialogue (to limit the items displayed to those not already on the viewing computer) at the bottom of the window is no longer there. Why not? This is a very useful way of syncing libraries between shared computers,and it is still mentioned in the Help file. Has Apple not noticed it has gone?

    @Dr-House:
    Dude this worked!!!
    this was really bothering me!

  • Home Sharing Works, but no Devices Shown

    Should my iPhone show up in iTunes Home Sharing. Or ATV2 for that matter.
    I have Home Sharing set up in iTunes and on both AppleTV2 and iPhone 4. All are running the latest software. Both ATV2 and iPhone are able to stream my iTunes Library without Issue.
    What does not happen is either device show up in iTunes as a Sharing device. I don't even see Sharing when the devices are actively using the Library. I have Shared Libraries selected in Preferences.

    I had the same problem and fixed it yesterday. Atv2 kept killing my internet connection but only when I tried streaming music or video from my itunes library to atv. I could watch netflix or youtube all day with no problem but within a minute or so of attempting to stream from itunes, our internet connection to the whole home network would die, requiring a reset of the router/modem to fix.
    After reading of people with mostly the same problem and trying a few fixes, I finally called Apple support. They had me try two things, neither of which worked but ultimately helped me figure out what to do. They walked me through a restore operation of my atv2 unit and they said if that didn't work, exchange my unit for a new one. Neither the restore operation or the new unit fixed the problem.
    What ended up fixing it for me was a firmware update to my Linksys WRT54G router. After updating to the newest firmware and changing nothing else about my network, I fired everything up and can now stream itunes library music and video all I want and my internet connection remains connected. I do notice a little slowdown browsing the internet when I am streaming HD video with Dolby Digital sound, but it is only somewhat noticeable and to be expected.

  • Compressor opens but am not able to transfer files from FCP studio?

    Help! I have tried installing FCP Studio (6.02) 2 to 3 times. I have tried removing Compressor from the Applications list under the library preferences.
    When I open Final Cut and highlight the sequence and then send to to Compressor, I see the Compressor title open up at the top but my files do not appear. I don't know if its corrupt or if there is a reset to cause all the windows to appear. I am able to use the drop down list to make the inspector and other windows appear but cannot find my files.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Golfhacker

    That signals a problem with QMaster, which is most likely something you didn't remove prior to your reinstall. Apple published a document to help troubleshoot this problem, which has been linked to numerous times on this forum.

    Just hooked up new apple tv for first time. able to connect to internet (netflix, youtube) but not able to connect to my itunes account via home sharing. apple tv tells me to make sure computer's itunes has home-sharing enabled, which it does. any advice?

    Have done both suggestions, still not working. Could it have somehting to do with my local network? I am using a wireless Internet provided by my apartment building so not sure if apple tv and my computer are not technically on the same "local network?"
    apple tv and main computer are connecting to Internet fine. Just cannot see my itunes on apple tv.
    any other advice? My itunes is turned on to home sharing. i entered the same apple itunes account into aple tv. but appletv keeps saying my computer's home sharing is not turned on...but it is.

  • Home Sharing - works in WiFi, not Ethernet: Help!

    Hi all -
    I've had an Apple TV happily working with Home Sharing from a Mac Mini when both were on the WiFi network from my Time Capsule router.
    However, I've just installed Ethernet cabling at home so all three are now connected on a wired network, and Home Sharing is no longer working on the Apple TV.
    The Apple TV simply says that it can't find the Mac, and to check that it is on the same network. However, there's only one wired network / LAN in the building - just two CAT5 cables running to the Time Capsule, which is then getting the Internet from a cable modem.
    Any idea how I can resolve this?

    This is a user forum. Lotsa folks asking questions, few sticking around to give any answers. Just depends who is around to see a message and whether they have any ideas to help. Could take days, not minutes or hours.
    +I have created and tried this with three different accounts, but they all fail to enable Home Sharing.+
    I'm confused why you're trying 3 different accounts. Try it using the same single account and two different PCs. Does that work? Can you download and play a free song of the week using one of those itunes store accounts?
    Going forward, I hope you decide to only use one account. They can never be combined later. You'll have to forever remember the login credentials of each itunes store account if you move stuff to a new PC.
    I tried 3 accounts, because none of them work for Apple TV. Yet, all three of them DO access the Apple store and forums and music and everything on this website.
    Did I say anything about combining these accounts? Not even remotely helpful.
    It's the same for me, as it is for rlongfield22(above).
    I am absolutely serious: Apple is the most difficult, ridiculous, illogical interface I have EVER seen in 18 years of computing and using the internet. I use both MACs and PCs daily, so I can easily compare the experiences on many levels.
    I know what I am doing on a PC and I rarely make common errors. I know my Apple ID and pass by heart(all three of them). I know my PC and network name by heart. My network and PC have the passwords blank.
    So,...I should be able to have my Apple TV work, by simply activating Home Sharing on this network(done that successfully) and then activating it on my Apple TV(doesn't work).
    I have tried activating Apple TV network first and tried activating Home Sharing first, but neither one works. When I plug in the Apple TV, the blue light flashes and then stays on.

    i am not able to hear any sounds of games on the speaker. Though the sounds function on the head fones. The speaker works perfect in other applications except games.Have checked all the settings but not able to fix it.

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound. Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and its the icon; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If that doesn't solve it then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Apple TV - iTunes Home Sharing - Mac mini - Not Working!!!

    Hi everyone, I am in urgent need of help here!
    I use the latest Mac mini to hold my iTunes Library to stream it over to my Apple TV with Home Sharing; however, there is a problem - it doesn't work anymore!
    If I use my iMac or MacBook Pro, the Home Sharing works great to the Apple TV, without a single problem. For the past week and a half now though, my Mac mini just doesn't want to stream anything over, despite still appearing under the "Computers" column on the home screen of the Apple TV interface.
    When I select my Mac mini, I get this seemingly endless loading screen:
    http://goo.gl/s0Qg1
    When that loading screen does end though, I get this:
    http://goo.gl/xj3eY
    It says "Could not connect to the Mac mini Library - Make sure your computer has iTunes open, and that it's on the same network as Apple TV."
    I always verify that my iTunes is open on the Mac mini and that both the Mac mini and Apple TV are on the same network, and still nothing works.
    Is there just some kind of issue with streaming the iTunes Library to the Apple TV via Home Sharing that I'm missing? There shouldn't be, but it's a very consistant problem that has come and gone away at random times, but now it seems to be a permanent and upsetting problem.
    If anyone can help me on this matter, please send your helpful words because I would like to fix this problem and not deem my Mac mini as a waste of money. I actually bought the Mac mini for the purpose of streaming my iTunes Library, rather than to bog down my iMac with lag and memory being chewed up, because I need it being fast for my work.
    Thank you!

    I've got the same problem. Bought a second Apple TV2 a couple of weeks ago and set it up to work with both my iMac and MBP - no problems. Both Apple TV's worked perfectly from both computers until... after a long night at work, the newest one decided to display a message telling me an update was available. Yes, you guessed it! I updated!
    Now, although this new Apple Tv displays the libraries from both machines, I get the messages in the original post when I try to access my iMac account - no problem though with my MBP account. Both machines have the up-to-date versions of iTunes. Thank goodness I did not update the older Apple TV2 box!
    I echo the sentiments of all the other posts - it is about time Apple pulled their finger out and sorted this mess.
    I wonder how many other people have the same problem?
