Can't see Shared Libraraies on Network

iTunes latest upgrade. Where has the ability to see who is listening to my library, or for me to see other librararies? It is all gone now, and no where to be found under preferences. I know somebody is listening to my iTunes, but i can't see them, and i can't see other libraries.

I think this will fix it for you ...
In Sharing highlight File Sharing (which is checked)
Then select the Macintosh Internal hard drive in the Shared Folders column
Then hit the Options button bottom right
When that preference pane opens check the third option "Share Files and Folders using SMB" and make sure you have a valid username selected/enabled then click Done
Close the Sharing pane and check again from your Windows boxes ...

  • Replace old router with WRT110 and now I can not see shared printer on network

    Replaced a BEFW11S4 with a WRT110. Now I can not see a shared printer on the network any more. I have not changed anything on the computer that has the printer shared. I can see the internet on all the computers, but not the shared printer. can you help?

    First which you need to check, is your printer is working Offline on your computer. In this case you need to Re-map your Printer on your Computers back again. First check if you have any Firewall or Antivurs Installed on your computer try to disable it and check if you are able to print from your computer. If not then try to Remap the printer on your computer.
    Go to Network connections window and if you are able to see your computer name on which the printer is installed, then right click on the Printer and click on "Connect" or "MAP" once done you will be able to print from your computer. 
    Note down the IP address of the Computer on which you have Installed the Printer. (Click on Start - Run - CMD and click Ok, now in the command prompt type "ipconfig" and note down the Ip address, Then go to your other computer and Click on Start - Run - CMD and click Ok and now in the Command prompt type "ping (IP address of your main computer) and hit enter and check if you are getting any replies. If yes, then again click on "Start - Run - type ( \\ip address of your main computer) and click Ok, and now you will be able to see your printer name then right click on it and click on "Connect" or Map, once done, now check if you are able to print from your computer. 

  • Can't "see" shared music across network

    I have my main iTunes library on the big iMac downstairs, which is cabled into my Time Capsule for it's network connection. I have "share my library" turned on. One of the ports on the TC is connected (via a mains-circuit ethernet extender plug-pair) to my old Belkin router up in the loft. My kids have an old 12" Powerbook and a PC up there, cabled into the router (I've turned off the Wifi, and just use it as a router).
    The iTunes on the Powerbook refuses to see the shared library downstairs at all. Up until a week or so ago, the Mac in the loft was an FP iMac, and iTunes was seeing and playing songs from the shared library, through the same router set-up, with no problem. It's only since I have replaced it with the Powerbook that the sharing has apparently stopped.
    The iTunes on the Powerbook is completely up to date, on 10.4.11, and I HAVE got "look for shared libraries" turned on...
    Any ideas, anyone?
    bestest,
    M.

    After following some advice from a different posting, I loaded the gimp print drivers and recreated the printer in the printer listing using the gimp printer. This worked! The only problem I had was that I had to load the whole Mac OSX base system and then the print drivers. This messed up my system and I had to reset a bunch of user preferences, etc. It took me a couple of hours.

  • Can't see Shared icon

    Hi,
    I have latest updates installed on my Macbook and iPad, but can't see Shared icon. I have tried to search for answer, but it helped not much. I'm new with this "sharing" stuff. I have Home Sharing turned on, but seem to have the same issue like some others, that no Shared icon is visible.
    Also, strangely enough, when syncing, most of the apps from iPad have been removed, so I see them in Apps section in iTunes on my Mac, but they are no longer on iPad.
    Any help please?
    Michal

    Although that was a very helpful hint that I can in fact play Mac's iTune Music on iPad without syncing, it's not solving my primary issues, which are:
    1. I bought some music via iTunes on iPad and I can't get them to Mac, because that Shared label is not present in my Mac iTunes
    2. I want some of my Mac iTunes music to sync to iPad anyway, because I want to play it also when not being on home share network.
    3. When I synced iPad, many apps have been removed from it and are not there anymore, but appear in Mac's iTunes in that Apps section under iPhone, iPod touch and iPad Apps, but are not below in iPad Apps - I don't know how to get them back to iPad and how to prevent this to happen again
    These are maybe trivial questions, but I wasn't able to find answers and don't have so much time to search more.
    Thanks.

  • Printing From iBook To Printer on Vista Desktop, Can't see shared printers

    Printing From iBook To Printer on Windows Vista Desktop, Can't see shared printer on a Vista machine from a Mac, although Windows notebooks find it immediately.
    I have previously always had success sharing printers on Windows XP machines with my iBooks. . However upon installing Vista RC1 on my desktop I find I can no longer find the printer in the Mac's printer setup utility. When I dual boot back to XP everything works fine, but on the same machine when I boot into Vista I am unble to see the printers. The Mac printer setup utility finds the Vista machine on the network, but the printers are never visible. Is their some secret or channge in Vista that prevents Mac's running , in my case,Tiger 10.4.8 from seeing a shared printer on a computer running Vista
    On the Vista machine, if I boot into XP The printer is shared and Windows notebooks can print to it, but neither of my iBooks can see the Printers when Vista is running.

    That might have been the situation for the beta's and first RC's, but I have a final build. Plus the fact that other Windoze notebooks see the printer on the Vista box just fine leads one to believe it is a mac/Vista specific issue.
    If anyone actually has experience with a MAC and Vista , I would appreciate hearing from you.
    thanks,

  • MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5

    After upgrading to OSX 10.8.5, my MacBook does not detect any wireless nertworks. My iPad and iPhone work fine, my router has been rebooted, WiFi is turned on, and the ethernet connection is how I am writing this message to you via broadband. There are a half dozen wireless networks in range (according to my iPhone) but the MacBook cannot find the router I am sitting next to. Any ideas on how to correct this issue?

    It appears an SMC reset was required:
    HT5815 I've just done the 10.8.5 update on my MacBook Pro end of 2008, and WiFi don't work after reboot... Impossible to activate it...
    Here is your other post: MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5
    If you reply to it and marked it "solved", perhaps with a link to that post (copy and paste it, or just say you performed the SMC reset) it will help others find a solution. Thanks!

  • How can I see shared pc with firewall set to allow only essential services?

    How can I see shared pc with firewall set to allow only essential services?
    So far if I set it as above then shared does not show up? I have to set the firewall to set access to specific applications and services to get access to my windows based hard drive.
    Cheers
    Mike R

    Ok I solved it myself. Not an ideal solution as I have to connect it manually each time but it will do... Unless anyone has a way to have it auto connect when I start the mac.

  • I can't see "shared" on sidebar... everything is checked though

    everything is in place for my home sharing however i can not see "shared" on my mac laptop but i can see it on my pc desktop

    Hi Mariah ~
    It's Shaunn, the original poster. Thanks for your posting. I'm glad I'm not the only one that's having this problem.
    Now that you mention it, I'm having the exact same problem on Facebook as well, when I play Family Feud.
    I wish someone would investigate and post a solution to this problem. No-one from Playlist has responded, and no-one "Officially" from Firefox either.
    So Mariah, I appreciate you and your post.
    If you find anything out...from anywhere...would you please let me know. You can post it right here and I'll get an email from Firefox.
    I'll do the same for you.
    Enjoy your day and good luck.
    Shaunn

  • Hi folks, you might know how to fix this: my wifi shows (no hardware installed) then I went to system preferences and deleted the wifi connection, I went also to system information and I can not see wifi listed on Network, how can I create a new wifi ?

    Hi folks, you might know how to fix this: my wifi shows (no hardware installed) then I went to system preferences and deleted the wifi connection, I went also to system information and I can not see wifi listed on Network, how can I create a new wifi or simply solve this, I have tryied shotdown pressing keys like P and R, option, etc. Please help me .

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Can't see shared Airport USB Drive on Network

    I have a AirPort Extreme (5th Generation) with a USB drive attached. I am using OS 10.9.2 on my desktop and laptop. I can see the drive on my desktop Mac which has a ethernet connection to the Airport, but my laptop can't see the shared drive. I used Airport Utility (under "Disk" Tab) to Enable file sharing and share disks over WAN. I have set the "Secure Shared Disks" to "With a disk Password."  On the laptop, I have set Finder preferences to see "External disks."
    However, the disk does not show up on the Finder sidebar under "Devices" or "Shared."
    Any suggestions on how I can make this "Shared Drive" visible?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Also make sure that Finder Preferences is set to show Connected Servers on the desktop.
    Restart the entire network as well by powering everything off, waiting a minute, then starting the modem first, followed by the next device connected to the modem, etc until everything is powered back up.

  • Home network - can't see shared computer in Finder

    I set up a home network between my macbook (leopard) and macmini (10.4) but can't see the shared computer tab in the Finder, could it be beacuase a don't have leopard on the macmini?
    I guess I'm missing a trick. Can anybody help?
    Thanks

    I can no longer see my MacPro from my MBP in the
    finder's "Network" window.
    I can still connect using "Connect to Server" and
    typing the IP manually.
    From the MacPro I can see the MBP just fine.
    I repaired permission, ran cocktail etc...
    Any ideas?
    Apple uses a service called "Bonjour" to discover devices on a network. Bonjour piggybacks on the mDNS service, meaning it broadcasts on port 5353. Apple is sensitive to being called "chatty", because it's past device discovery methods were indeed chatty. Bounjour has built in some passivity, and devices will delay their broadcasts if logic detects they're not needed. Sometimes all it takes is clicking on the Network tab.
    It all boils down to 1 of 3 things:
    1) The MacPro is not sending out Bonjour discovery packets.
    2) The MacPro is sending out Bonjour discovery packets, but the discovery packets are not reaching the MBP. This is highly doubtful, since the process is working in the opposite direction.
    3) The packets reach the MBP but it's not responding to them.
    There's a great (and free) utility called Bonjour Browser, and it's available on versiontracker. If you run it on the MBP, you'll have a much better ideas as to what's happening.
    My best guess is that the MacPro is not sending out packets. This would either be due to not having anything to share (File Sharing turned off) or logic which dictates that it's been sending out these packets for a long time so they're delayed for 30 minutes to reduce chattiness.

  • Can't see files on a network Hard Drive

    So I have a new airport extreme and I wanted to put a drive on the network. I have two HDDs: one is the time machine that I normally have connected to my computer and another is a Hitachi that I just have Movies on. Both of them will show up under the APE in the shared, but none of the files that are on the drives show up as being there. I also tried backing up when my time capsule was on the network (I could see the shared drive icon on the desktop) but it said the backup volume couldn't be found. When I look at the disks in the airport utility it says that they have things written, but I can only see the empty free space when I open them from my MB. Can I access the files that are normally on the drives from the network without having to reformat them?
    The Hitachi is formatted under the Journaled Mac OS as well.

    I had the drive on a user password, but changed it to just be accessible if you were connected to the router. With this setting I can see the files on my movie drive, but when I try to do I time machine backup, it just sits on the "making backup disk available" and never is able to start the backup. Is there some trick to allowing the disk to backup from the airport?

  • Can't see HDD on airport network

    Until recently my home network setup was organised like this: internet modem (Sierra aircard) with wireless turned off, connected by ethernet to Apple Time Capsule set up as a router. Wireless connection to various computers and to an Airport Extreme which, in turn, was connected via ethernet cables to a Mac Mini functioning as a music server, and to a Synology DS 213+ for music file storage. This allowed me to connect from any computer to both the Mac Mini and the Synology NAS, which was useful for managing music downloads etc from my usual work computer.
    Unfortunately, for some reason using the Time Capsule as a router interfered with the functioning of the internet modem. So I switched on the router function for the Sierra Aircard and changed the Apple hardware configurations so that the Time Capsule and Airport Extreme now simply 'join' the wireless network established by the Sierra. But what this means is that while internet functioning is better, the NAS is no longer shared across the network. It's visible to the Mac Mini and I can live with that if necessary since I can still access it through the screen sharing facility. But screen sharing is a bit clunky and not the most convenient way to go about things like downloading albums and organising music files on the NAS.
    Does anybody have any suggestions about how I might make the HDD visible across the network again?
    On the basis of suggestions elsewhere I tried connecting the  Synology to the Airport Extreme with a USB cable but all that achieved was to make the NAS disappear altogether. It obviously only functions with a LAN connection via ethernet.
    I'd appreciate any comments or ideas or, better still, solutions that I'm obviously just missing.

    ...as I mentioned in my initial post.Don't get upset. Many times people use the lingo but haven't done the proper configuration. It is always to ensure the configuration is correct before proceeding to far.It's my two Appletalk laser printers that have the problem."AppleTalk" is the magic word. See Henry B.'s post for why you are having problems.

  • Upgraded to 10.5.8 and now can't see either of my networked printers

    Hello all, I just upgraded my G5 dual 2.5 to 10.5.8. I have two printers that are both connected to separate Airport Extremes. My G5 ethernet port is connected to a linksys WET11 wireless ethernet bridge, which is in turn connected to the wi-fi network of the main airport. Here is my problem. I can surf the web just fine, so clearly my G5 is seeing the Airport. However ever since upgrading to 10.5.8 I can't add either of my networked printers in the printer setup. It just doesn't see any printers. I've reset the printing in the OS (control clicking on the print prefs and resetting followed by reboot) I've rebooted both the printer and the airport separately and I've double checked that the printer is set as a shared printer in the airport admin software. My laptop (an ibook g4) also running 10.5.8, has no problem seeing both networked printers and printing to them. I'm flummoxed as to why my tower suddenly can't. (It could see both with the exact same setup running 10.4.11) Any ideas? Your help is greatly appreciated, since this is very frustrating! thanks,
    -Andrew

    Your network setup is a little complicated. Can you explain it a little better and confirm that there's only one DHCP server in it - all devices get IP addresses from one of the Airport Extremes, for example?
    It sounds like maybe you have two or more separated subnets.
