Can see but not connect to one shared library
On my list of shared libraries on my network in iTunes I can see all of the ones that are capable of sharing. However with one of them when I select it, it loads for a few seconds but then goes straight back to the main library with no error message. All of the other libraries work fine.
Please help.
I'm having this exact same problem. Can initially see a shared playlist/library, and it will even initiate playing, but a few seconds later the connection disappears. I've turned off my firewall and opened up TCP/UDP ports, but still have this problem.
I'm running iTunes 7.1.1.5 and Windows XP SP2.

Can see but not connect to other computers on my home network
New laptop running 8.1 replaces crashed one (also ran 8.1). After setup, can see the other computer on Home Network (uses Windows 7). That one can also "see" the new laptop. ( Both computers appear in the network folder). Neither
will connect to the other. Get "cannot access message, check name etc."
Both computers are in same Homegroup, tried all the tests mentioned in support . . .everything seems set properly. Ran through all the network and homegroup diagnostics fine. Tried connecting with both firewalls disabled.
Is there a solution I'm not aware of? Others seem to have similar if not identical problem.Hi wrkeen,
Please share more details about this issue：
1. Provide the error messages for better analyzation.
2. What solution have you done to test the homegroup?
If we enable the network discovery, we will be able to find other computers or devices on the network.
Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
1. Run the network troubleshooter to exclude the network issues. For more information, please refer to the following article.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/using-the-network-troubleshooter-in-windows-7
2. Go through this path Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings and check if we correctly configure file sharing and other settings.
Please take a look at the following article about troubleshooting file sharing.

Can see but not access shared library
I have a PC running Windows XPsp3 and the latest version of iTunes, and my husband is on a macbook using the latest OS and iTunes. We both have Home Sharing enabled and he can access my library, but I can not access his. I can see his shared library but when I click on it, it thinks for a while and kicks me back to my library. I checked to make sure we were both using the same account info and that we both had sharing enabled. I checked to make sure our respective firewalls where allowing iTunes through. We are using an AirPort for our router; I'm wired in and he is wireless. I've been looking in the community and can't see where anyone has successfully resolved this problem.
BTW, before I recently reformatted and rebuilt my PC, when I encountered this problem I would get an error stating I needed to check my firewall. Reformatting my PC did not correct the problem, only removed the error message.
Anyone have any other ideas?check out these links:

attempted to transfer itunes music from pc to new imac. didn't work. apple suggest using sharing method. main library of music is on pc. did those steps and shared library shows up on mac but when you click on the song to play it doesn't play or maybe ther is no content? any suggestions?
Hi there,
It sounds like your purchased content is not transfering via a flash drive. It may be easier to re-download this contnet directly from iTunes. Take a look at the article below for mor information.

Single account on imac can see but cannot connect over network
This one is driving me crazy:
As of this morning I cannot connect to other computers in our network. Using other accounts on the same imac is no problem, but mine simply refuses.
I can see the rest of the network, connect to the internet, print, etc., but if I try to actually connect to another machine I get the error that it cannot find the original item (the error is in Dutch so I cannot give the litteral version)
Network, firewall and sharing settings seem to be the same as the other, working, accounts as far as I can tell.OK, we found the problem. my permissions were screwed up...

PC seeing but not connecting to extreme base station
Hello! I've searched many forums and done some of the suggested things in some posts related to my topic, but can't find the exact topic that is afflicting me at the moment...
I recently purchased a gigabit dual-band Airport Extreme. I have two computers in my house that connect to the internet just fine, a mac pro and a older laptop running windows XP something...
We are wanting to hook up a desktop PC running windows XP SP2 (I believe) and the wireless-g card (linksys) can "see" the network, but for some reason can't connect. Even if I turn the security completely off, it won't connect. All suggestions I have seen before, people have been able to connect when the network security is off. This is not the case for me.
Any suggestions?Welcome to the discussion area, stacidesign!
First, you have verified that the PC can connect to another wireless network, correct? If it can, then that tells you that the wireless card is functioning correctly.
You'll have better luck connecting to a newer wireless router if you are able to update the PC to Windows XP SP3. Have you tried this?
It's also possible that the wireless card in the PC can connect to a 802.11 "b" or "g" network, but not to an "n" network. To check that out, you need to use AirPort Utility - Manual Setup to make a change in the radio mode of the AirPort Extreme.
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the Radio Mode selection box
Write down your current settings so you can return to them later if needed
Select this Radio Mode...+802.11n only (5 GHz) -- 802.11 b/g+
Keep the Wireless Security set to "None" temporarily
Update to save changes and allow 30-40 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart
Restart the PC
See if the PC can connect now
Please post back on your results

Library in shared folder - users can see, but not change?
We have or music library saved to the shared folder so all of the users in the family can access the music. However, only the original user can make changes (change genre, mark don't include in shuffle, etc.). Is this by design, or should everyone be able to make changes to the music?
This still does not fix it... If you cannot R&W over the folders and the library, you cannot even open the library. I've been looking into the same issue, and have not been successful. I might try what I used for iPhoto and worked beautifully; I have not done so, because if I remember correctly, it was posted that this does not work:
sudo fsaclctl -p / -e
sudo chmod +a "<other user> allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,\
addsubdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directoryinherit" <path to directory> -
ITunes able to see but not connect to Remote Speakers
I currently have an issue with connecting to my remote speakers from my Intel Mini within my house.
The Mini is running OS X Server 10.5.6 with all updates, and the latest iTunes.
It is able to see the Remote Speakers, but on attempting to select them, it defaults back to "Computer"
If I play music, it will play with the attached speakers via the headphone jack.
The AP Express is at the other end of the house, joined to the wireless network and is able to be connected to from my MBP either cabled into the Time Capsule like the Mini or via Wireless on either the TC or Router.
Using the iPhone, its possible to select the Remote Speakers on the Mini but it won't play, however selecting the Remote Speakers on the MBP will allow it to play
See the below diagram for an overview of how things are setup.
The Mini has been rebooted, cables checked and I have repaired the permissions.
It is also able to connect into the AP Express via the Airport Utility and reconfigure the device.
Any Ideas?

!http://img.skitch.com/20090423-x7x2iwa5ae9y52qwi58ipmfixs.jpg!Same prob today while making some network changes... 1st thing i did was connect an old time machine drive to my airport extreme, then realized 70 GB should be transfered through USB cable instead of the network. In the same process was trying to implement an old NAS hard drive on the network through my Airport Extreme as well... so i made a few configuration changes and started uploading files through the USB cable in Time Machine... That is when i noticed the same problem everyone else is dealing with. It seemed like I had a very slow internet connection and some network congestion. I spent hours reconfiguring the Airport changes I had made and investigating this problem on line.
Here is the good news! I waited for the Time Machine backup to finish and I also removed the NAS drive from the network and it seems to be working again. Back to square one with the hard drives but my Airtunes work again and my network congestion is gone! I hope this helps some of you. -

Can see but not save/modify files on external drive
New Mac user. I have an external drive for all photos/movies that I've used wth a PC.
Bought the Mac. I can pull files from the drive but I can't access the drive to delete/modify existing files or save new files.
It's treats whole drive as "read only".
How can I modify stuff on the external drive and save new files to the external drive?
thanks.You can't withdraw the question/thread only close it by marking it as solved.
NTFS was the "problem", right ?

Can see but not browse to Airport disk, also cannot print in Bonjour

I have not had any issues until I updated to the latest version. I have tried all the suggestions on the support web page and nothing has worked. I am hoping that this version of ITunes is the issue and that Apple will release a fixed version, Any suggestions?
Ok, here is the fix per Chad at Apple. Just did it and it worked.
Open the Control Panel
Uninstall *in this order*:
1. iTunes
2. Apple Mobile Device Driver
3. Apple App Updater
4. Bonjour
You may need to reboot after uninstalling Apple Mobile Device Driver, and ok if it still shows in the Control Panel.
Next, go to Apple.com, then download and install the most recent version of iTunes. -
I have 2 problems, i have 2 external drives connected to my new iMac.
Both are formatted to FAT 32, one I can see but no one else can and I can write to that drive,. The other can be seen by all but not written to by me or anyone else (This drive was used on PC but is FAT32 (have been back to the PC & told it to read write).
Permissions are correct on both that I can see. Thats the extent of my knowlege.Please helpWhilst it may not be your fault I am afraid it appears that your post is on a forum which is not the best for your OS.

After updating my OS, I couldn't get onto my gamecenter account. I created a new nickname to see what would happen. Now I can only access my new nickname, but not my old one. However, my old account has all my scores! I want to delete the new nickname and re-access my old (i.e., original) nickname. Interestingly, my friends can still see my old nickname.
Any suggestions would be VERY appreciated! Thanks.This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

My ipod screen does not light, you can see the icons, connects to itunes but it does not even light up the brightness of the screen. I made him the restoration of production and did not work.
Please I need to know what do I have to do.
RegardsIf you can't enter the passcode then you have to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes. For ecovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Note that this requires using the sleep/wake button. If you are not successful then there is nothing else that I know you can do.
