Not able to get Sharing iTunes btw accounts on a single computer to work

I read the Apple support post on how to do this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203
I followed the instructions. I even went back to the iTunes Music directory in the original account where I had the music and changed permissions so that Everyone has read/write access.
When I am in iTunes on the new account, all the songs in the directory: Macintosh HD/Users/Shared/iTunes Music do not show up.
I've done the iTunes/Preferences/Advanced/Change Folder Location.
I hope that somebody can help.

You need to click on File > Add to Library and wait a few minutes for iTunes to organize the files.
Your music will not be copied, just referenced from the new location.

HT1551 I'm not able to get in iTunes to set up my AppleTV.

I'm not able to get in iTunes to set up my AppleTV, I enter my Apple I'd and the password but it keep telling me that iTunes is not available or that I need an Apple iTunes I'd. I keep resetting and start all over again but I'm still unable to configure, keep trying for hours. Someone please help!!!!!!!!!!

The helpfulness of answers is limited by the details provided. Which AppleTV do you have? Why do you keep resetting? iTunes has no ablity to setup AppleTV. It can AppleTV can connect to iTunes to share you local content. If this is a new AppleTV have you enabled home sharing in iTunes? Are you actually tring to access iTunes, or the iTunes Store?

I am not able to open my itunes store account in my apple iphone.What is the security code? Where can i get the security code to fill in the form of apple itunes store account?

iphone 4 32 gb
version 7.1.2 (11D257)
when i open the account itones store asks a security code. I purchased this device from another person. i dont know the security code to fill in the format.

The security code is the Apple ID of the person who setup the account. You will need to have the person you purchased the iPhone from remove their information from the iPhone.

Not able to get Shared Server Mode to work in XE

The server is an HP Dual CPU Xeon, 4 GB RAM. 120GB HD.
Oracle XE reports the following:
SGA 768 Target, 768MB Current.
PGA 256MB Target, 55MB current (when there are a small number of client connections)
The application and database work properly with a small number of connections, but
memory usage goes way up on PGA when I start to add more connections.
I have tried to set up the Oracle server in "Shared Server Mode" , but it appears
that I was unsuccessful.
From what I can tell, the oracle listener does not seem to be fowarding the incoming requests to the shared server dispatchers, but
instead it is deciding to kick off a dedicated server process to handle each client request.
In other words, it is working in dedicated server mode.
I am stumped as to what needs to be done next. From what
I can tell from reading documentation this should be working.
Please advice as to what else I can do to get things working.
Here is additional information:

I don't think it is supported because of XE multiple cpu usage limitations but "shared server" is not documented in the XE documentation - http://www.oracle.com/pls/xe102/ranked?word=%22shared+server%22
so you may want to follow this guide for setup and try -

Sharing iTunes between accounts on a single Mac

Hi
I had this working a while back... but (I can only think it's since I upgraded to iTunes 8) this has now stopped working...
1. I have moved my iTunes Music folder to /users/shared...
2. I go into iTunes preferences and change the location of the Music Library...
3. Restart iTunes...
4. Then I go into iTunes and it works - it's reading songs and movies from the shared location fine...
When I login as a different user (any admin user), repeat steps 2 and 3 and nothing - the library is empty when it's restarted
I also tried this hack from another site around 18 months ago...
http://www.macworld.com/article/5857...eslibrary.html
The instructions are pretty much the same, although this involves creating aliases of the iTunes music library.xml file - but didn't seem to make any difference to the outcome
Anyone got any ideas please?
thanks!

did you check
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203
(see the last part, about accessing files)
Telly

I am not able to connect my itunes store

i am not able to view my itunes store account or download updates since last month please suggest me.....
thanks

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES>Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Could not connect to " home shared iTunes library name "

I'm having an issue with iTunes/ Apple TV. Actually it has been ongoing. I have a particular iTunes library shared on a private subnet (together with the Apple TVs) from a Mac Mini. I can connect and play content any time with iTunes on another computer 100% reliably. But around 60% of the time when I try to connect to it from any of my four Apple TV (2's) an error comes up saying "Could not connect to "<home shared iTunes library name>" ", "Make sure the computer is on the same network as your Apple TV. the iTunes version is up to date and iTunes is running". The answer to those questions (as always with such messages is obviously 'yes':
Yes of course we are on the same network. If I wasn't, the library wouldn't have even shown up in the first place before selecting it
Yes iTunes as always is the latest version thanks to Mac Software Update
Again 'dah'. See response #1
If I restart the offending iTunes library the error is resolved (although sometimes it does require reboot of the Apple TV) but could reappear as early as within the next 24 hours. This issue has been occuring for a very long time however appears to be increasing in frequency. It occured as well on the Apple TV (v1).
Anyone with clues on what's going on here?
Thanks
Greg

I agree that the first debug point should be the network. Though like Greg, I use a Mac Mini to serve up movies to a couple of Apple TVs. From the 'problem' Apple TV, I could see other iTunes movie libraries on other Mac(s), and those would work/play fine. It's only when I try to connect to the iTunes Library of the Mac Mini that I have this issue. It's almost like it's asleep, and doesn't respond. Though I can mount the library folder, and play movies from other Macs w/o a problem while the Apple TV still has the problem.
As Greg mentions, closing and re-opening iTunes on the Mini solves the issue (though only temporarily).
The only difference that I have (non-consistency) is that my Mac Mini is an older model, and cannot be upgraded to run Lion (10.7.x) like my other Macs. The Mini is running 10.6.8, and iTunes 10.6.1 (32-bit). My Macs are running 10.7.3 and the 64-bit version of iTunes 10.6.1.
Is it possible it could be a 10.6 vs. a 10.7 issue? Greg, which version of OS X are your Macs running?

I have a 100 credit in my iTunes account and I am not able to log in to my account because my email is no longer active can a get a credit for amount i have in my account?

I have a 100 credit in my iTunes account and I am not able to log in to my account because my email is no longer active, can a get a credit for amount i have in my account?

Why can you not login into the account ? You should be able to if you remember the account's password, if you can't then you can get it reset e.g. by answering your account's security questions : http://iforgot.apple.com
If you can't reset it via your security questions then contact Support in your country, they should be able to reset your password (and security questions) for you (after they've verified your id and that it's your account).
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5699
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
You can then change the primary email address on your account e.g. by logging into it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com

HT1203 iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer - I tried to use the instructions to configure 2 different windows users sharing the same iTunes library. I could not get this to work per the instructions.

I tried to configure 2 windows users accounts using a single library per the instructions in HT1203. My iTunes library is on an external drive. I cannot get this to work. Any suggestions?

To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.
iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.

I purchased an audiobook in Nov 2012 using iPhone 4S and then upgraded to iPhone 5 in Dec. Now I am not seeing the audio book in purchase history in iTunes. This means I am not able to get the book in my new iPhone. Please help.

Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store. If you don't have it on your computer (audiobooks go into the Books part of your iTunes library) nor on a backup, then if it's still in the store you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

Are you sure it was error 0604 since I never heard of that error, it does not appear in the list of errors in the following and a search of Apple's support site gets no hits. However, error 1604 is list and users have reported that error number. If 1604 is the error number the following tell yu wnat to do when you click on that error number:

No it doesn't. Sometimes it make a sound that it should when connecting but that is it. Never actually charges or syncs. And it is a brand new cord.
