Can no longer import shared music in iTunes 10.7

I've been able to do this in the past, but all of a sudden can no longer do this.
two computers.  one Mac Book Pro, and one Mac Pro.  Both on OSX 10.8 & iTunes 10.7.
I can see the MBP library on my Mac Pro, but can't 1) filter to see the items that are not in the main library, and 2) import the new items.
There used to be a filter at the bottom of the iTunes window that was "Show" - and within that, you could click to filter items no in library (a compare tool).
Am I missing something?

I finally solved the problem by connecting the iPad to another Mac (without synch'ing anything). Re-connecting it to my iMac, I was suddenly able to see the options in the right pane again, rather than just being able to un-mount. Here the post from the user who reported this solution first: link

  • I can no longer play my music from iTunes on my computer.  i get the error prompt: The song (name) could not be used because the original file could not be found.  What do I do?

    not sure what to add other than to repeat myself.  ive lost ability to play music from my iTunes library on my computer.  Everything is there but i get an error message that says '"The song (name) could not be found.  Would you like to locate it?   Then it gives me the option to locate or cancel.  i can't do that for 3800 songs!!  i have all my music in separate folders by album and all individual selections in an external hard drive.  i can play from there but thats clicking on one number at a time.  i lost my capability in the process of Microsoft correcting a problem with my outlook program.  Why, i haven't a clue.   help!!

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • Can no longer download purchased music from iTunes

    I keep getting this message: There was a problem downloading. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again.
    My connection is fine and this just started happening out of the blue. Can someone offer some direction here?

  • HT1473 Why after updating my itune i can no longer import LP's from my ion Turntable can sombody help please

    Why after updating itune i can no longer import vinyl to the itunes

    Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
    My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
    They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
    However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
    I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
    Anyways I digress.
    So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
    At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
    All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
    Answers in a postcard :-)
    Much love

  • Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 the capacity guage in itunes shows other as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on it. How do I get rid of the other stuff? other

    Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 a few days ago, the capacity guage in itunes shows "other" as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on my iphone.
    How do I get rid of the other stuff?
    capacity available on 32 Gb iphone is 28.49Gb
    i previously had 21.97 Gb music, over 6 Gb photos, about 1Gb of apps, and minute amount of audio
    now i have no music, 5.4 Gb photos and similar (0.8Gb) for  apps and audio. i have deleted heaps of photos and unused apps to try to make space but obviosly this is a much bigger problem. I also created a smaller music folder on itunes to sync to but at present no music is selected for syncing due to the lack of available space.
    i have 15Gb icloud account now also which is about half full.
    Ive done a little research and heard similar tales but with much smaller other totals than this. Can you help?
    i cant update my apps as i get a message saying i do not have enough available space.

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

  • If I installed itunes and music on a PC that died....can I download/import the music from my IPOD to a new itunes account?

    If I installed Itunes and music on a PC that died --- can I download/import the music on my IPOD to a new ITunes account?

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device.  Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software.  A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • I can no longer manually drag music or podcasts on to my iphone 4. Help?!

    i have a PC. First of all, the other day i opened itunes to discover that all of my music had disappeared from it. I then had to get it to find all the music and my computer and import it. I then discovered I have triplicates of multiple songs and cannot figure out an easy way to fix that. That's Problem 1.
    Larger Problem 2 is that I can no longer drag songs from my itunes onto my iphone 4. I could two weeks ago, but can't now. There's definitely enough memory on my phone for the music. I'd rather not have it automatically sync my iphone music with my itunes library as the latter has 60+ gigs of music and i don't want it all on my phone.
    Someone please help, this is quite frustrating.  (I'm also not incredibly tech savy, so please use simple detailed instructions)
    THANKS!!!

    itunes is up to date. recently updated it. could this be the problem?

  • I upgraded to 10.5.0.142 on windows 7 and I can no longer add any music to my libraries

    I upgraded to 10.5.0.142 on windows 7 and I can no longer add any music to my libaries.
    It makes a notification sound, but there is no message, and it just doesn't do anything.
    How frustrating. Considering apple make excellent products, iTunes is terrible.

    I find a way to add music.
    Make sure iTunes is closed.
    Go to the song file on your computer. If the file has the little black musical iTunes symbol as its icon, just double click the file. It should open up in iTunes and stay in you library.
    If the little black musical iTunes symbol isn't next to the file, right click the file and go to "Open With" and then click on "iTunes". It should open up in iTunes and stay in your library.
    Yeaaa its the long way but that's the only way for now, unfortunately.

  • I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes.  Before iOS 8, movies played fine.  After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive.  Anyone else have a similar issue?

    I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes.  Before iOS 8, movies played fine.  After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive.  Anyone else have a similar issue?

    I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
    According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
    DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
    As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
    I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view.

  • Can no longer import from CD ??

    I can no longer import songs from Cd.
    Before I just inserted the CD, clicked on 'import CD', waited for it to import, and then moved the selection to a playlist.
    Now I import. (Plus I've tried several times converting to AAC just in case that might work, even tho I chose AAC in the advanced preferences. ) Then I drag to a playlist in itunes and nothing happens.
    If I try to drag to a playlist on my ipod I get the error msg
    'Some of the songs ... were not copied to ipod because they cannot be played on this ipod.'
    Recently I had changed to import as wav files, but changed back. I feel sure it's my settings but don't know what to change. The ipod manual is totally useless.
    thanks,
    Judy

    Embarrassing, but I wasn't checking in the library.

  • Can no longer find owners ipad on itunes to download my photos.  ????

    Can no longer find "owners ipad" on itunes to download my photos from my computer.  Have friends who have the same problem.

    Photos are not downloaded from iTunes.
    Import them from the iDevice to your computer as you would with any other digital camera and leave iTunes out of the equation.

  • I just updated my software to maverick and my iTunes to the most recent version and i can no longer transfer songs from my iTunes to my iPod

    i just updated my software to maverick and my iTunes to the most recent version and i can no longer transfer songs from my iTunes to my iPod. The tracks stay gray with a stagnant circle beside them in the left column. Any ideas?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                 
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • I'm having difficulty importing purchased music from iTunes store to my new MacBook Air

    I am having difficulty importing purchased music from iTunes to my new MacBook Air

    What problem are you having ?
    You should be able to copy your library from your old computer : How to move your iTunes library to a new computer. Or if both computers are connected to the same wifi network then you could use home sharing to copy it over. Or copy it from your backup of your downloads/library and add it via File > Add To Library.
    You might also be able to redownload some/all of your past purchases via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage,or by going into iTunes > Preferences (command-comma) and ticking the 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' tickbox - it might then show in the Music part of your library with a cloud icon against it for redownloading.
