Homeshare not appearing under Music/Film/TV

I have recently purchased a new Windows 8,1 laptop PC which is in addition to an existing Windows 7 desktop PC which runs Itunes.
I attempted to set up a Homeshare arrangement for the Itunes library. This worked brilliantly and i was able to play music on Itunes in the new laptop. I then shutdown the laptop as I needed to go out, The bad news started on my return.
When I switched on the laptop and went into Itunes, it started upoading when i went into Homeshare so i thought good grief I am going to have to wait for the entire library being downloaded every time I open the laptop. Then I reconciled myself to that and looked on the positive side that at least I would have an itunes library once it completed,
Then came the really bad news. When i came back to the laptop and clicked on the Music/Film etc arrow, there was no sign of Homeshare, just Music, Film and TV. I checked in File/Homesharing that homesharing was still on and it was. I tried switching it off then switching it back on but still no sign of Homeshare,
Can you suggest any solution to this problem 

I perhaps should have mentioned that the Itunes library and other data being homeshared are definitely available on the laptop and can be clearly seen in file explorer,
What may contribute to the problem is that my existing Itunes library is held on the F drive because the C drive is SSD and is mainly reserved for software. This probably has absolutely nothing to do with the problem but i thought i would mention it anyway
How does Itunes decide whereabouts on the Homeshare folder it's going to look for the Itunes library?

  • Music and sounds folders not appearing under "music and sounds" tab for approx 5 min after launch

    So every time I launch fcpx, under the "music and sounds" tab, all that is appearing is my iTunes folder, with the other folders (iLife sounds, FCP sound effects, etc) not appearing for about 5 min or so...anyone else experiencing this? Is there a fix?

    Nothing ever shows up under the "Music and Sounds" tab for me. I can wait an hour and nothing "appears." The dropdown menu is blank and can never be used to select anything: It remains blank.
    I've deleted preferences, rebooted, logged-in as a different user and reinstalled the application. None of that has made the "Music and Sound" section work.
    If I drag a folder to the top area (after pulling down the gray bar) the icon changes to show a green plus sign and the top area is outlined with green. After dropping the folder nothing happens; it does not appear in the list. I've tried several different folders from iTunes and other locations, all to no avail.

  • Songs not appearing under artists

    Hi,
    I'm going to try and explain this the best way I can,
    On my Ipod (30GB), some songs do not appear under the artist.
    Example:
    I have two songs by Christina Aguilera, A is from the album "Stripped" and the other one (B) I haven't listed any album name (therefore it is Blank). So on my ipod when I go into:
    [ Music -> Artist -> Christina Aguilera -> All ]
    only song A is shown.
    But if I go into [Music -> Songs ] I can find A and B...
    So you see my problem,
    If you have any idea, please answer,
    Regards,

    "the other one (B) I haven't listed any album name (therefore it is Blank)."
    There is the problem.
    See: Some songs don't don't show under artist on my iPod.
    From what I understand, once you add a second album name for that artist even for a single song, ALL the rest of the songs should now show up under that artist, even those without album names.

  • Podcasts in Itunes appear under Music Genre Podcasts

    Does anyone know how to get podcasts downloaded/subscribed to using iTunes to appear on their iPod under PODCASTS instead of appearing under Music > Genre > Podcasts ?
    Thanks

    They should appear in both places. Do you have a "Podcasts" entry under "Music" on the iPod? If not, make sure your synching options include Podcast updating in iTunes ("iPod Options" while the iPod is visible to iTunes).

    I had a new hard drive replaced in my imac. Now my 1st generation apple TV does not appear under devices in itunes. How do I get my apple tv to connect to my computer? My OS is 10.6.8

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can't doing anything abouty this, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

  • TS5181 iTunes radio does not appear in "Music" on my iPod Touch, Why?

    iTunes radio does not appear in "Music" on my iPod Touch. How can I fix this?

    Ok, I have resolved this issue myself. I contacted Apple support but they had no clue.
    The resolution is this, bring Siri up and say "radio". Radio comes up and you touch "now playing". Believe it or not the radio icon appears and remains.
    I hope that helps other folk.

  • How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad? Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the 1st generation.

    How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad?  Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the first generation ipad.

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972

  • My downloads are not appearing in music

    After adding music (either by CD or by itunes purchase) my songs are not appearing in Music.

    I'm having the same issue.  Just downloaded two songs and they show up everywhere but the iTunes music library.  No matter what I try, I can't make them show up there.  Never had the problem before today.

  • Not appearing under devices

    When I connect my iPod Classic, it does not appear under devices.  I do have it on my iMac desktop, so I think the USB is working properly.  The iPod also will connect to my PC with no problem; I synced yesterday evening.  I have the latest iTunes on both computers.
    Any ideas?

    See here: iPod does not appear in iTunes or iPod updater in Mac OS X
    And here as well if necessary: iPod not recognized in iTunes and Mac desktop
    Did it ever show up previously? If so, what has changed then? Have you recently installed any third party software/plug-ins/etc.?

  • Software updates do not appear under Updates

    Software updates do not appear under Updates in the Mac App Store.  So far, I have not been able to select or install the newest Yosemite update (10.10.1) and the latest iTune update.  What could be the problem?  Third party software shows and will update, like Evernote, but Apple branded updates do not appear.

    Hello JAKE3POINT0,
    After reviewing your post, I have located the page which includes the download of the 10.10.1 update. Applying the update may address the issue you are experiencing:
    OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 Update
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

    Hello popsicles,
    This first article should be helpful in getting iTunes to recognize your iPad once more:

    If the device is still disabled once it's appeared in iTunes again, please reference this second article:

  • The option "Build-in Output" does not appear under my Sound preferences

    The sound stopped coming out of my built in speakers.  The sound does come through headphonse.  The option "Built-in Output" does not appear under my Sound preferences.  How can I restore the Built-in Output option under my Sound preferences.  Currently the only option that displays is "Digital Out".

    Please stop sticking things in your audio ports. you can very easily damage the switch. There is a simple procedure that usually will switch your mac back to internal speakers.
    1. open the Audio MID setup app in your utilities folder.
    2. Select 'built in output'
    3. try the 'source' pull down menu. probably it will read 'digital out' with no other options.
    4. control click the 'built in output' option on the left and select 'configure speakers' from the pull down menu.
    5. a drop down window will open. Make sure 'Stereo' is selected and click 'done'
    6. The Source pulldown menu should now read 'internal speakers'
    7. Close the Audio MIDI setup app and get back to work

  • Remote disk doesn't appear in my finder.  also cd sharing option does not appear under preferences

    remote disk doesn't appear in my finder.  also cd sharing option does not appear under preferences

    Hi i also had a recent problem with a stuck cd in my 12" powerbook slot loading drive. I would suggest attempting all the operating system problem solvers first that are covered in other discussions on this site, such as holding down alt + command(apple logo thingy) + F + O straight away when starting up your computer. This brings you to the open firmware where you type "eject cd."
    My problem seemed more physical than a glitch in the operating system The CD would try to eject several times each time failing with a horrid grinding unhealthy sound as if something was blocking it. After a while the computer seemed to disable the act of even trying to eject the disc and the cd would not be recognize on my desktop or anywhere else.
    After days of suffering and failed attempts I managed to get the disc out by getting another cd that was not important, and placing it in the mouth of the slot loading drive and carefully bending the cd gently in a wrist swiveling manor so that the slot got pushed wider. This sounds foolish behavior I know, but cds have a nice flex to them which softens contact with the soft aluminum metal. After a slight widening I tried ejecting once more and it thankfully worked. The disc that came out was incredibly scratched so I came to conclusion that the drive had been squashed a little bit down the line.
    Any way hope this works and sorry about the essay.
    Pete
