Can't see shared libraries any more...?

I used to be able to see shared libraries on the left hand bar, but now that tab is gone. I've already gone under preferences to make sure the Look for shared libraries preference is checked. I've tried unchecking and checking this repeatedly. I don't know what else to do, because I used to be able to see them completely fine but I can no longer.

Well the first thought is, are the shared libraries you used to see actually currently online?
In other words, if you used that to see the library from the computer upstairs while on the downstairs computer, is the upstairs computer currently running iTunes? Because you can not see the library if iTunes isn't running or if the computer is off or if the computer is disconnected from the network.

  • TS2972 Home sharing is enabled but can not see shared libraries on any devices

    I don't see my shared libraries on authorized computers, iphone, nor  Apple TV. 
    Ran netstat -an
    and see the listener for TCP tcp port 3689
    Also see an entry for udp port 5353.
    I can open a connection to the tcp port 3689 via a java api program and telnet.
    I also used TS2972 to help with thiss
    the only thing I did not do is reset the router but since I can open the ports I don't beleieve it is a router issue
    All devices ere connected to the same router
    All devices are using the same apple id
    Need this to work to get the most out of the iphone and apple tv
    any ideas are appreciated

    I have set the apple ID in the Home sharing setting on windows. Also set it on the iPhone and Apple TV and also shared another library on another windows iTunes application. I don't see any shared libraries on any device. Both the pcs only show the local  libray.

  • Can't see Shared Libraries with iTunes 7

    I can no longer see shared music/libraries since I updated to iTunes 7. My roommate can but she can only see her own music. She has a Windows XP computer, I have a Mac Powerbook running OS X 10.4.7. Also, when I quit sometimes, it says people are connected to me. But I can't see that. Anyone know how to fix this?

    hmm - this really sounds like your network is screwy - but that should affect iTunes 6 as well as iTunes 7. Let's do this quick test.
    Download this software:
    http://www.tildesoft.com/Files/BonjourBrowser.dmg
    And double click on the application it puts on your desktop (Bonjour Browser).
    It will put up a list of all the network services it can see. Look for the one called: "iTunes Music Sharing" & click on the little grey triangle beside it.
    It should then expand into a list of all the iTunes Music shares it can see.
    What is in the list? Anything? Do you see your roommate's computer? I assume you are in a dorm. Do you see other iTunes shares?

  • Can't See The Wife Any More

    We have an iMac 24 (Intel) with built-in iSight in our kitchen in the house. I have a G5 (no camera) in the office (same network). We're both on Tiger.
    For a couple of years my wife has been able to call me up via Bonjour and I can see her in the iChat window. Just recently the connection still works for audio but I can't see her any more. She can see herself in the iChat window and I get an iChat window but mine is just a blank white space – no darling wife.
    I've checked the preferences but can't see that anything has changed.
    Help appreciated.
    Bob.

    Thanks but no that didn't work. However I've established that it's 'my end' i.e. it's the G5 that's not playing ball.
    I also have a MacBook Pro in the office (Leaopard) and tried a one-way-video from that machine to the G5 (after setting the preferences and re-starting iChat as you suggested) and the result is the same.
    It sounds like it's going to work, I get the dull chime when I accept the Video Chat but just the same shortened white screen.
    So I tried a video chat (two way) between the iMac and the MacBook Pro and that works fine. (I thought I'd also try a one-way-video chat form the iMac to the PowerBook but there's no option for this – the little devil must know the PowerBook has a camera.)

  • I can't see my Library any more!

    I wanted to create a new calander for 2014, so I created a new catalog and started to import 25 images which were in my library in various folders. once I was done with the selections I could see that there are several catalogs set up from each folder of origin.  if I click on library to get out of the "catalog" mode nothing happens. I can no longer see any of my library folders on the left panel, unless I try to import more images.
    How do I delete or cancel this request to add a catalog and get back to my original library?
    also, in hind sight, I believe I wanted to add a "collection".  please confirm the difference between a collection, smart collection and a catalog.
    Thank you

    I would recommend you have a look at some of the videos here: http://jkost.com/lightroom.html before you end up with a bigger mess and possible loss of files.

  • Can't 'see' firewire HD any more.

    I've had a sleep/freeze problem, for which I'm working through advice on old threads, but in the meantime my G5 has lost the ability to 'see' my LaCie FW drive on which I have lots of backups. I've disconnected it, reconnected it, switched it on, off, rebooted in various combinations, but nothing. The drive doesn't mount and can't be seen in System Profiler.
    I have no other FW deviced attached.
    Any ideas?

    First thing to do is reset the FW chip set on the mother board. Unfortunately, when you power down the computer there is always a bit of power still applied to the motherboard to keep things alive and this usually includes the ports to do stuff like detect when a device wants to wake up the computer. The downside of this is when a bus/port chipset goes into a weird state, power cycling the computer won't work.
    So first thing to try is resetting the chipset and to do this you have to power down the computer and completely unplug the computer from the wall power (unplug the power cord to your Mac). Also unplug everything from the Mac's ports (USB, FW, Ethernet, etc.) to make sure no parasitic power is still there to keep the chip alive. Now let it sit for ten minutes (give those big power caps in there time to discharge). Now plug it back in, start up the Mac and see if your FW ports and the drive work any better.
    If that doesn't work, next step it to plug the drive into another computer and see if you can read it there. If not, could be something wrong with the drive (I know Lacie had an issue with power supplies for their drives sometime back).

  • 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.

  • 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.
    please help.

    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 ...

  • 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

    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.

Now I can start LR 5 and I can watch/modify pictures, but as soon as I try to import new pictures LR 5 stops and gives the message "your LR 5 64-bit does not work correctly - searching for solution". I have not changed anything in my computer since lasttime LR 5 worked properly, only the registry was optimized by Norton 360.

  • Can't see or play any videos on websites!

    Hello,
    All of a sudden, I've lost the ability to see or play any videos. On youtube, I can't see or watch any videos. On websites like Scifi.com, I can't see any videos, visit the forum or see of their flash-enabled content. I know that I have Adobe flash installed, but I don't know what else to check for. Please offer any suggestions. Thanks.

    Ditto here.
    No video content is viewable on my iMac G5. This started happening after startup.
    But I can view video content just fine on our other iMac G5, and on a G4 powerbook, both under Safari 3 & MacOS 10.5.6.
    I have reset Safari, run Cocktail maintenance tasks, repaired permissions, etc. all with no change.

  • My ipod touch can´t play some music any more

    my ipod touch can´t play some music any more. iTunes don´t transfer it to my ipod touch but the capacity is taken. Can someone help me please?

    My problem is a bit different, but I suspect not really unrelated. With very few exceptions, my entire music library on my iPod Touch is mixed up since updating to iOS 5. Albums display with incorrect album artwork, and contents of the albums is a jumbled mix of unrelated songs (could be any song from my library). And they won't play. The library is fine on my computer.
    I removed all of the music from the iPod, then re-synched it with no improvement.
    I also removed all apps other than those that come with the iOS, thinking it may be an incompatibility. Also no improvement.
    My next attempt was going to be restoring to original settings, but it sounds like folks have tried that with no luck.
    I hope Apple is reading these posts and looks into what sounds like a myriad of issues with the new iOS!
