AppleTV2 doesn't see entire library after adding second user - sameID

My wife and I have separate logins on our iMac, but use a shared library for iTunes for storage space reasons. Unfortunately, that introduces subtle differences over time since Apple doesn't really sync between the two logins. For example, she has country music active in her iTunes, I don't. We recently got two AppleTVs and did home sharing. With one of our iTunes doing the share it worked fine to the AppleTV. Once we tried to share both versions of the library to the AppleTV, though, it started missing things. My podcasts don't show up now, and there is a mixture of music now. It is the same on both AppleTVs, so it appears to be something on the Mac itself that needs updating.
I've tried rebooting the systems, enabling and disabling home sharing on all systems, and so on.
What file does the Apple TV use to look at the iTunes Library, and how can it be forced to update it.

Make sure the computer is authorized in iTunes for each login account.

TM doesn't see its backup after migrating to new iMac and restoring system.

TM doesn't see its backup even though it still exists on the HD. I just migrated to a new iMac. After using OS X disc to 'Restore System From Backup' with TM backup it was showing the latest backup attempt had failed. The same disk was highlighted under TM Preferences too. But once I reset it TM began to make a new backup under a new folder/computer name (adding a number to the end). Is there a way to make TM see the existing BU and continue on?

I'll try to recall to the best of my memory what I did... It's been stressful, frustrating, trying to deal with it.
Computers:
1) iMac6,1 (Late 2006) Intel 2.16 GHz Nvidia OS X 10.5.6
2) iMac8,1 (Early 2008) Intel 2.8 GHz ATI OS X 10.5.4
Perform final backup of iMac #1 with TM and SuperDuper!
Shut down and disconnect.
Hook up iMac #2 and power up.
After OS X intro select 'Transfer from another Mac' with Set Up Assistant (note: this was from the SD! backup).
Everything was selected for transfer; Users, Apps, Network,..etc. (I assumed it would update OS X too).
Transfer complete.
Restart.
Log in.*
* I have both Admin and User account. I noticed things weren't performance was off; log in was slow (Menu Bar items took longer to display, clock too), and generally overall apps,..etc seemed slow. Apps were asking for license and reg info too.
Second attempt (restore system from TM backup):
Startup from OS X 10.5.6 disc.
Erase HD with DU.
Select 'Restore System from Backup'.
Select TM backup.
After that completed, restart computer.
And that brings us to now. Well, sort of.
So what is the proper way to migrate as it were from between two different Intel iMac's? I have to assume I transfered over system files that caused a conflict with the new iMac's HW, correct? What can I do now? I've already performed new backups of both SD! and TM. I didn't think it mattered since either way the backups come from my old system. I'm guessing I should have updated OS X first on the new iMac and only selected User files, Apps, Network settings,.. etc., for transfer, or maybe installed apps fresh. I thought I was doing it correctly.
The new iMac still seems off with performance to me. I've tried performing multiple 'Repair Disk Permissions' too. There are about 32 differing permissions but DU doesn't seem able to repair them as they come up again and again. Here are some examples;

My final attempt to straighten this out is to install from OS X disc fresh (erase/install). Transfer only User files, Network settings, anything pertinent to my Users (email, browser, keychain,..),... and nothing else. Reinstall 3rd-Party Apps. I had to do this before after updating from Tiger to Leopard because it didn't take well.
Any help/insight appreciated.

Can't see backup library after accidentally deleting library

In trying to free up some hard drive space - it was almost empty - I accidentally deleted my entire iPhoto Library, emptying it from the trash. Thankfully I do back up to an external hard drive, and have moved the backed up library back to my Pictures folder. However, I cannot see the library in iPhoto, even when i Option-start the app and "Choose" that library. I only get 95 photos that i have imported since the accidental deletion and moved to that back up folder after re-copying it.
Any ideas why I can't see the Library in iPhoto even after choosing it? I'm not going to have to go through and import every photo am I? (I hope not as they are stored by year/month/day in hundreds of folders).
I would also like to know how to get this to work as I have ordered a new iMac today, and will want to choose the same Library on it too.
Thanks.

HI roger,
Navigate through the iPhoto Library folder and see if all your photos are in there. I just want to make sure that the backup library does indeed have your photos in there. If it does, and iPhoto still can't see your library, maybe a data file got messed up.
In that case, you can create a new library and import from the old very easily by following the next instructions below.
Close iPhoto
Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
Drag this library to your desktop
Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
This is the window you will get
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library
Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
Go to File>add to library
Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "import" button.
iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
This is what to expect:
Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
Good luck!

ITunes doesn't "see" my library

Good morning.
I recently purchased a G4 iBook. I used iPod Rip to move my music from the mini to my iBook. The music was put into folders under an iPod Rip folder. I moved these folder to the iTunes Library folder, however, iTunes doesn't see them.
How do I get this music to show up in my iTunes library?
Thanks.

File->Add to Library and choose the folder of music.
That should do the trick.

HELP! Doesn't see wi-fi after an insertion 4.1

Forgive for my English!
Has stitched the iphone 3g, with an insertion 3.1.x on an insertion 4.1, iTunes 10, has ceased to work WI-FI, at all doesn't see networks, to an insertion worked!
Became periodically will be switched off!!!!!!!! I will repeat to an insertion iPhone 3g worked perfectly!!!!
How to return an insertion 3.1. Х?
In what there can be a reason?
How I can correct it?
I start to trust hearings which go on the Internet that it is made specially that would buy iPhone 4g

If no change after resetting network settings on your iPhone at Settings > General > Reset and selecting Reset Network Settings which will erase all wi-fi networks from your iPhone that your iPhone has previously connected with and will require re-joining each wi-fi network you have access to, try restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
If no change after these steps, your iPhone has a hardware problem likely with the wireless card.

Not seeing entire library

I have my itunes library with home share enabled on my maxbook air, running last itunes and mountain lion. My apple tv3 can connect and see the entire library. However my ipad running the remote application to control the library only sees a subset of the songs. I noticed if i went get info on the macbook air then that particular song would then appear in the remote library on the ipad? Any suggestions, looks like an indexing issue of some sort?

You select the photos that are shared to your Apple TV from the advanced menu in iTunes.
Apple TV 2 is not intended to show up under the devices list in iTunes.

HT201250 My current tax program doesn't see last years after I installed new drive

The year before software is on time machine but I had to install a new hard drive and the existing program doesn't see it,high light when searching, how do I get or import my taxes from previous years.

A little more info would help.
"The year before software is on Time Machine."
Do you mean last year's TurboTax app is in a TM backup?
When you installed the new hard drive did you restore the previous drive's contents from the TM backup? Including applications?
"How do I get or import my taxes from previous years."
What is it specifically you need to import?
If you restored completely to the new drive from Time Machine, everything should be there.
I am still confused on your specific problem.

Cannot start AdminServer after adding weblogic user to OID

Hi.
We have two OIDs: one is used in the production env, the other in dev.
I succeeded in configuring SOA-dev and OID-dev so that worklist users get authenticated against OID-dev.
Moreover I added the weblogic user to OID-dev following this guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/integration.1111/e10224/bp_worklist.htm#insertedID2), so that weblogic can login and administer the worklist.
I repeated the steps in PROD env (for SOA-prod and OID-prod) but after adding weblogic to OID-prod I cannot start AdminServer-prod:
<Mar 10, 2011 5:31:01 PM CET> <Critical> <Security> <BEA-090404> <User weblogic is not permitted to boot the server; The server policy may have changed in such a way that the user is no longer able to boot the server.Reboot the server with the administrative user account or contact the system administrator to update the server policy definitions.>
<Mar 10, 2011 5:31:01 PM CET> <Critical> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000386> <Server subsystem failed. Reason: weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationException: User weblogic is not permitted to boot the server; The server policy may have changed in such a way that the user is no longer able to boot the server.Reboot the server with the administrative user account or contact the system administrator to update the server policy definitions.

Truncated. see log file for complete stacktrace
Anyway, configuring SOA-prod to use OID-dev (simply switching OID ip address) makes things work.
If I enable SSL between SOA-prod and OID-prod I can start the servers but I cannot login into the worklist. The same in DEV: enabling SSL between OID-dev and SOA-dev does not influence server boot but I cannot login into the worklist.
I think the problem is related to SSL configurtaion in OID-prod but since it's 10g there is no orclsslinteropmode to disable (required to worklistapp).
SOA is 11.1.1.2 and OID 10g.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your precious help,
Michael

Hi Anuj.
Thank you very much for you help.
My situation is a bit different: we do not want to use two OIDs at the same time.
In PROD the order of auth providers is
1. OIDAuth-prod
2. DefaultAuthenticator
whereas in DEV it is:
1. OIDAuth-dev
2. DefaultAuthenticator
Id DEV server boot and worklist login are ok.
OIDs are v10.1.2.3 but OID-prod is updated with the latest security patches (of Oct 2010). I will raise a SR.
Thanks again,
Michael

Multiple computer users sharing one library...second user doesn't show library

I have a XP machine set up with 3 users.
On the master user, I installed Ituens and changed the library location to an external hard drive (for space reasons).
I closed Itunes, switched users, opened Itunes and pointed the library to the same shared folder / drive.
I have restared Itunes and the computer. The second user does not see any music / apps / playlists from the main drive. What did I do wrong or miss?
Thanks

i use my files from a central hard drive and I don't check keep copies because I don't want it, needs it, require it...it wastes lots of hard drive space.

Can't get around this error after adding second dataset...A scope is required for all aggregates used outside of a data region unless the report contains exactly one dataset

I added a dataset to an existing report and broke an aggregation. In the old (i.e. single dataset) report, this expression below worked fine. I wanted to get a distinct count of the vst_ext_id field when my educated field was like "VTE1*"
= CountDistinct(IIF(Fields!educated.Value like "VTE1*", Fields!vst_ext_id.Value, Nothing))
After adding a new dataset, this no longer works and I get the error " A scope is required for all aggregates used outside of a data region unless the report contains exactly one dataset". Having done some research online, I found that I
needed to specify my dataset explicitly and I thought this new expression might work, but still no success...
= CountDistinct(IIF(Fields!educated.Value,"DataSet1" like "VTE12*", Fields!vst_ext_id.Value,"DataSet1", Nothing))
Am I missing something? Based on online responses, this explicit dataset naming convention seems to help most people, but it isn't working for me.
Thanks in advance!
Brian

I found the answer. Apparently, my expression syntax was off. This expression does the trick...
= CountDistinct(IIF(Fields!educated.Value like "VTE12*", Fields!vst_ext_id.Value,Nothing),"DataSet1")
I just happened upon this particular syntax searching online. I was trying to specify the dataset name after each .value, but I never got that to work. This is the only time I have found this particular syntax online.

Migration assistant added second user did not merge data: iTunes

I set up my new mac at the store then came home and connected my OLD iMac to the new via Firewire. I used Migration Assistant, and the migration took about 90 minutes. When it was done I had two parallel usernames; my old username with the old desktop look and stuff and the new computer's username I set up with the clerk at the Mac Store. Now I have two separate users on my computer, complete with two separate iTunes. When I look in the finder under Macintosh HD/Users, I see an icon for the new user (the little house) and a folder labeled with the old username but it has a red "negative" circle over it (like a push icon on an iPhone, but with a minus sign in the middle), plus a Shared folder.
The weird thing is that all the documents and stuff merged, but I have to go to the old user to use iTunes. My old computer did also have 2 users (why? I have no idea) and it brought the iTunes library I did not use in, but not the massive library I do use in. I teach a fitness class and have about 100 unique playlists and ALOT of music on that thing - but the wrong library was brought in. Now I have to switch back to the old user to use iTunes and that just seems silly. I have tried 'add to library" to try to bring the stuff over but it can't see into the other user I guess.
Any suggestions? It is so frustrating that my whole library is there but I can't access it on the new user after spending all that money.
Thanks!

ITunes doesn't see Aperture Library - iMovie doesn't see Aperture Library

Issues:
Nearly all of my videos in the Aperture/iPhoto library do not show up when I select iPhoto library option in iMovie and iMovie is unable to locate them in any other way. Sometimes the option to select the iPhoto library is completely missing.
iTunes does not recognize my Aperture library, and I get the following message:
"Your Aperture Library could not be found. Open the preferences window in Aperture and enable the preference to share previews with other applications." After reading through forums and multiple Genius Bar appointments here is most of what I have done:
Created multiple new Aperture libraries, selected them in Aperture, rebooted, switched back and forth - Note: iTunes DID recognize the new blank libraries
Booted Aperture with the Command + Option keys and run all three options to repair permssions and even rebuilt the database
Booted Aperture with the Option key and selected the library I was using all along (this worked for someone in a forum)
Opened iPhoto (not Aperture) and selected an option to share photos
Run "Verify Disk Permissions" many times under Disk Utility
Run "Repair Disk Permissions" many times under Disk Utility
Reinstalled OSX
Reinstalled Aperture
Reinstalled iTunes
Reinstalled iMovie
Run a virus and malware scan (no issues)
Verified that Aperture was set to share previews and had a Genius go through all of my options to ensure they were correct in iTunes, Aperture, and iPhoto
Have ran "Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs" from the Command + Option + R recovery partition multiple times. Each time it just hangs for hours, the latest attempt ran for over 24 hours before I finally stopped it.
Oh yes, and I found and deleted the file com.apple.iApps.plist
None of these things fixed either of my issues. According the the Genius at my last appointment, now I have to call Apple Care and pay to get support. I must have misunderstood what the Genius Bar was about when I bought my Mac and why I purchased the One to One training. Before I call Apple Care, I was hoping someone might have run across this and can help me.
I asked the Genius if I now need to just create a new Aperture Library and move all of my content to it (that was the last resort for someone in a forum); however, he was concerned that even if this might work that I probably have deeper permission and/or other issues that need to be addressed and that doing so would not fix the root cause.
Thanks for taking the time to read through this issue.

Understood. I thought perhaps the period meant that I was finished and just needed to call Apple Care and fork out the fee.
The formats are primarily .MOV straight from the iPhone. Since going to a Mac, I have pretty much given up on using my Sony Handycam for family videos due to the pains of having to locate, identify, convert, and export AVCHD video to watch on Apple TV. It is just too easy to take video with my iPhone and import it and immediately watch it, although the quality is nothing close to a dedicated video camera, especially indoors and in lower light. All of the video formats in Aperture are supported and most all of my older home videos and Sony Handycam videos are sitting on an external drive (hoping that one day I will have the time to figure out a decent workflow to access them after I work all of the bugs out of iMovie). Great thought though.
All my content is managed. After a handful of One-to-One sessions at the Apple Store, I finally learned that you could not reference videos in iMovie and had to either have them in the iMovie Events directory or in iPhoto (at least that was what she said). Their solution was to import the videos into iPhoto so they could be easily accessed in iMovie. After I had issues mentioned in this post their solution was for me to purchase Aperture that could handle larger libraries. This was supposed to fix the issue and allow iMovie to see my videos. When that didn't work they said that I needed to purchase Final Cut Pro. I'm just a Dad who wants to make a few memorable home movies for his family and I don't think that I should have to purchase a $300 application, especially after paying a premium for my Mac and the iLife software, which I am deeply regretting. But I digress.
I have repaired permissions again and am in the process of repairing the library and will rebuild it again if that doesn't work. It is taking longer so I won't be able to post the results until a later time. Definitely worth a shot to try this again.
If this doesn't work I will take the time to create a new Aperture library. Like I previously mentioned, this was the last resort for another gentlemen who had a similar issue. After doing this it might explain why the "Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs" from the Command + Option + R recovery partition is getting hung up and not working. I'll post the results at a later date. If I could save just one person the time, gas, and stress I've experienced it would be worth it.
One additional question? I read a gentlemen's post that passionately argued against ever using iPhoto, Aperture, or iMovie to ever manage video files. He suggested using folders and a file naming system similar to what I used when I was on a PC using Adobe Elements. Do you have any thoughts on that?
For my situation, I have two concerns:
I'm afraid this would not allow me to watch the videos on Apple TV as simply as I can now (although I don't know this to be the case for certain). If the videos aren't in my photo library, I'm not sure how I would be able to access them through Apple TV.
Since I'm a proud Dad I have hundreds of video files spanning many years, so I also don't want to lose the ability to quickly peruse my event library and find content that I want to import into a project in iMovie. At one point I imported some video files to edit that weren't stored in iMovie, and I could only see the file name and date and had to guess if there was content on it that I wanted. When you have hundreds of clips like I do that isn't practical.
He argued that these programs were never meant to manage content and worked much more efficiently using this method. I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts.
Thanks again.

ITunes doesn't recognize entire library...

Hi Everyone,
I recently had a problem with Snow Leopard on my MacBook and ended up having to wipe the partition. I have XP installed through Boot Camp and backed everything up onto an external NTFS formatted drive. I copied my entire iTunes folder to the drive, and now I'm trying to move it back.
The iTunes folder copies just fine, it's around 78GBs and copies the correct amount. I can look through the folder before opening iTunes (I deleted the existing iTunes folder since nothing was in it from the clean install) and all my music, tv shows, etc. is there. Upon opening iTunes everything is listed correctly, but around 3/4s of the songs have the exclamation point next to them asking me to locate the file.
Going back to the iTunes folder under Music shows that most of the media files disappear - I certainly didn't delete them and they were there before iTunes opened.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
-MRCUR

Yes, right after the copy finished I looked through the Music folder (it seems like movies & tv shows are unaffected) and only the As and Bs (of artists) are there. Everything else is gone, but the folder size (of 77.17GB) stays the same throughout the copy and after the files disappear.
That's all very strange isn't it.
I will see if I can do that and re-import all of the music. Is there any way to save my playlists doing so? At this point I don't really care, I'd just rather have the music back on my MacBook.
When you add music to the library in this manner, the playlists are unaffected. The playlists are contained in the library database documents in the itunes folder, which should still be intact. When you add to the library, the library database is updated to reflect new music, but that's it.
That said, if you've tried to play your playlists without the music in the music folder, the playlists may no longer be what they once were.
If you have your library database documents backed up to the external drive you might be able to retrieve them from there if those on your Macbook no longer function. But this would need to happen after you get your music back.
This is tricky stuff that should serve to remind us how important a good backup is.

Doesn't load entire library

I can't get itunes to load my entire music library. I don't know if there is a size limit, but the music folder that I have selected is just over 200 GB. The total size across the bottom of my itunes screen says 30.7 GB. I have the folder selected by going to the following: Edit > Preferences > Advanced > iTunes Media folder location. Is there something I'm missing?

iTunes doesn't detect media automatically. You need to add the contents of the folder into iTunes. You can use File > Add folder to library... or a tool like iTunes Folder Watch.
