Problems with Home Sharing - works with some users but not all

Hi all,
On our Mac we have 3 different user accounts. Among the three, home sharing seems to work for two of them, but not three. For example, if I'm logged into User A's account, I'm able to access the library for users B & C. However, B & C are able to see user A's library, but items do not play or transfer. B & C can use each other's shared libraries without a problem.
Previously, all three users could use the other's libraries. I've done the obvious: restarted the computer, made sure sharing was turned on on all 3 accounts and synced the Apple ID and password on all three iTunes so that they're runing on the same Apple ID account.
The error I get when trying to transfer songs from A to either B or C is: "There was a problem downloading "[song name]". The URL "" could not be found on the server."
We're using iTunes 9.0.2.
Thanks all in advance

  • Home sharing works on primary wifi but not via Access Point

    I have two wifi routers set up at either ends of the house.  The primary router (Netgear DGN2000) is connected to an Access Point (Edimax EW-7416APN) via a D-link Powerline ethernet connection.  Both are configured with identical SSID names/passwords meaning I get seamless switching between the units when walking from one end of the house to the other.  Internet connectivity works fine when connected to either unit on laptop, phone and ipad.
    The only issue I am having is with itunes Home Sharing.  My main PC is connected to the primary router via a further D-link Powerline ethernet connection.  When I am within the wifi signal of the primary router, the Home Sharing library from the Main PC shows on my ipad2 and I can access all music no problem.  However, if I walk to the other end of the house whilst playing a track then as soon as the wifi connection switches to the AP then the track will stop.  When I search for libraries then the Home Sharing library doesn't show.
    The Access Point is set to be in AP mode. The latest version of itunes is installed.  The PC is running Windows XP
    Any pointers anyone can give with this issue would be very welcomed as our main entertaining room is in the range of the AP wifi.

    Do the old "forget this network" while on your home wifi, then reconnect to it.    If that doesn't fix it, it's prob a router/internet issue at your home.    Would need some more info to help futher troubleshoot.

  • IMessage works for some numbers but not all

    Hello all!
    So I've run into a bit of a problem with my iMessage recently.
    Currently I've been able to fix it for some of my iphone friends but there's one that I just can't seem to get to work.
    So basically the rundown I did to fix it for the majority of my friends #'s was I
    Turned off Imessage and Facetime
    Restarted my phone
    Turned on imessage and facetime
    And that seemed to fix whatever was wrong with the majority of my friends.
    However, there's one that just won't work..I know that he doesn't have texting on his iphone because where he lives he doesn't get service so he relies on wifi to use imessage..It was working fine until a couple weeks ago when I couldn't send anyone an imessage..and then randomly it started sending from my email. So upon searching the internet I got it to go back to my number but now  I'm unable to text him anymore... It worked while on my email but once I got back on my number it didn't.!
    I'm not quite sure if it's on my end or his..but I hope I can get some answers here!
    Thanks!

    Hello hwestphal, 
    Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    It looks like you were not able to send iMessages to your contacts, and you've solved it by turning iMessage and FaceTime off and on again. It sounds like after this, your friend is not receiving iMessages because they are sending from your phone number. 
    Next, I'd suggest the steps in this article to make sure that your phone number is linked to your Apple ID (email address):
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
    Your friend may also want to try these steps on their iPhone when they are in range of cellular service. 
    Best Regards,

  • Citrix XenApp 7.6 & VDI Plugin works for some users but not others

    I have a customer with XenApp 7.6 and Lync 2013 SE. They have two users homed to the same pool, both with the same VDI client policy however on one account the VDI pairing works fine over Citrix XenApp, but the other the pairing fails. On both accounts I
    get prompted for the credentials, however the second account will not authenticate. I have tried domain\username, domain.local\username and [email protected] but all fail then I get the red cross through the VDI icon.
    This is all from the same Windows 7 machine, all user accounts are within the same AD domain.
    If anyone has seen similar before any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I am banging my head against the wall!

  • My iPhone4 docks correctly with some devices but not others, please help!

    Hi,
    Firstly spologies if this is old news but sometimes its easier to 're-ask' than trawl thousands of pages!.....
    I have a 3-year old iPhone 4 that has developed a problem which i'm trying hard to solve;
    *Phone used to dock fine with anything and everything - this was about 1 year ago.
    *for no apparent reason it ceased docking with my Bose Soundock and a Logic3 accessory dock (connected to a hi-fi) at home
    *symptoms were; it would charge and operate as normal whilst docked but would not play music through either (the Logic3 dock did not acknowledge it was docked). Otherwise it would sync and connect normally with iTunes, etc. and connected fine when plugged into my car.
    *I reset it, restored it from back-up, updated/reinstalled iOS (this has since updated at least twice) with no other effects. Also checked and reset all settings.
    *I subsequently bought a Pure Contour dock as I was able to try it in the shop and my phone worked with it, plus it has Airplay anyway. I have since, in an attempt to find a bedside DAB radio/alarm dock that works with it, found that it works fine with some devices but not others with no rhyme or reason as to which.
    *2 days ago I changed out the docking port myself using a cheap replacement bought from Amazon, to see if it would cure.
    * now the problem is reversed! The Bose and Logic3 docks I have, that it wouldn't work on before, it now DOES....and the Pure dock and my car, which it DID work with before now fail to connect with it!
    *just to reiterate this, my wife's gen3 and gen5 iPods dock and work faultlessly with all devices mentioned....and mine had done previously.
    to my knowledge it is NOT;
    - a compatibility issue. The phone used to work fine on everything I had. Then it stopped. How's that?!
    - a connector issue. The male connectors on all docks haven't changed.......and the female connector in my phone has changed from liking selected devices to then liking the others!! (it is female after all ;-) !)
    -a software issue. iOS has been updated and the phone wiped and restored and all sorts so many times I can;t see how it can be!
    could it be a problem with the data exchange between phone and device when it is docked??
    or do I really need to try changing the port for an 'official' one??
    or is it just broken and that's that?!

    It's either a problem with the connector on your phone (dirt, lint, bent pin, corrosion) or with its connection to the motherboard inside. Cleaning the connector is a good place to start; either a dry toothbrush, air blast can or wood toothpick. Next inspect it carefully with a good magnifying glass or jeweler's loupe. If nothing turns up it is probably damage inside, which will be difficult to fix. Aren't you due for an upgrade about now? Your iPhone 4 is 3 generations out of date!

  • How do I troubleshoot installation/distribution of a LabVIEW .exe which processes data using Matlab when it works on some computers but not others?

    I've been given the unenviable task of troubleshooting and installing/distributing software written by a former co-worker. I've modified the LabVIEW code and built an .exe file. I've successfully installed the Labview .exe file on several computers, but it won't work on some others. What's more baffling is that I installed it successfully on one computer, uninstalled it, and tried reinstalling it with no success. In fact, it's a new error (Dr. Watson for Windows NT application error). It doesn't help that I have different versions of LabVIEW and Matlab on the target computers. Some have LabVIEW 5.1, some
    have 5.0, and some don't have it at all. Some have Matlab 5.2, some have 5.3 (R11) and some have 6.0 (R12). It's also not clear to me where the Matlab m files should be located. I'm not sure if it's a LabVIEW Runtime Engine problem, or if it's a Matlab problem. I've also wondered how LabVIEW and Matlab talk to each other. When LabVIEW calls Matlab, it seems that Matlab is running in the background. In other words, clicking on the Matlab Command Window and typing "whos" or any other command/variable doesn't work.

  • Airplay works for one user but not for another on the same machine

  • Migrate SOME apps but not all?

    Is it possible to use migration assist to migrate SOME Apps but not all of them? If so, how?

    No. Migration Assistant will transfer the entire folder but you cannot selectively transfer individual applications. However, you can simply copy items from the Applications folder to the other computer via Target Disk Mode without the use of MA. Although this will work just fine it will not automatically include any other associated files needed by the applications transferred such as Applications Support files, preference files, or other installed files. Therefore, it would be better to simply reinstall the individual applications or transfer all of them, then delete what you don't want.

  • Magic Mouse One-Finger Swipe Works for one user but not the other

    For the main account on my iMac, I can use a single finger swipe to move back and forward within Chrome. However the second user (also an administrator) cannot use this setting and must instead use the two finger swipe in settings. Both settings are identical but the Chrome browser wont recognize the single finger swipe for the second user. The gesture works fine in Safari, but not Chrome. Any suggestions?

  • How do I delete some history but not all without it crashing?

    I remember that Firefox used to allow deleting of only some history but not the most recent. For example, I was able to go into Options and under the Privacy tab, I could choose for Firefox to remember the last 7 days, 30 days, etc. Now, it seems that I can only choose "Remember history", "Do not remember history", and the custom option does not allow me to choose how long I want Firefox to remember the history while deleting everything else.
    When I press Ctrl-H to open up the history on the side, it shows all the history from a very long time. I remember I used to be able to right-click on a folder (say several months back) and delete it all. Now if I try to do the same thing, it takes a long time and essentially crashed.
    I do not know why these features were removed but Firefox is very difficult to use as a result of that now. Could you please help me out with this?
    Thanks.

    If you have problem with deleting the history in the Library then you can delete the places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.<br />
    Note that this will remove all history (you can copy/paste or drag history items to a bookmarks folder).
    Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

    Current Firefox versions do not have a time limit for the history.
    Firefox determines automatically how many pages can be kept without affecting the performance.
    You can see the current value via the read-only pref places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages on the about:config page.

I want my grandchildren to be able use the old iPad to play their games I have already downloaded and/or paid for but do not want them on my new iPad? Thank you.

    Hi ballingeruk,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you purchase a new iPad Air, you can choose which apps you want to put on the new device by downloading them from the App Store to the iPad Air.
    Use these instructions to download apps you've previously purchased on your iPad Air:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Apps
    Tap App Store.
    Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    Tap Updates.
    Tap Purchased on the resulting screen.
    Locate the app in your Purchased tab.
    Tap the download icon.
    The app will begin downloading and you'll be taken back to your home screen.
    You can find the full article with detailed instructions for downloading purchases, along with screenshots, at this link:
