Can't see shared library

I have a laptop which is new with the latest version of iTunes, running Windows 7, and a desktop computer with the latest version of iTunes, running Windows XP.  I signed in on the new computer with my Apple ID, same one I always have, and password.  I made Home Sharing available on both computers.  However, I still cannot view my desktop iTunes library on my iTunes on the laptop. 
I see the drop down menu and no Home Sharing Library is listed.  Can someone offer any advice, please?  Thanks!

Did you make sure that "Look for shared photos" is checked in the iPhoto preferences setting on the Macbook Pro?
Last time I experimented with iPhoto library sharing, I found it to be a little flaky. Sometimes the shared library would show, sometimes it wouldn't, for no apparent reason.

  • Homesharing- can't see shared library

    I have a laptop with Windows 7 and itunes 9.2. I have turned on homesharing on my laptop as well as my daughters laptop which is running vista and itunes 9.2 using the same account and password. Our media files are shared but while she can see my libary I cannot see hers. I have checked firewalls on both and that is OK. We are connected to the same network.
    Any suggestions on how I cna fix this as it is really starting to bug me.

  • I have home sharing on but can't see my library on the computers icon. iTunes does display my purchased tunes but not my own imports.

    I have home sharing on in iTunes but can't see my library when I use the computers icon on Apple TV. iTunes does display my purchased tunes but not my own imports.
    I can play my own tunes by selecting them on my iMAC and directing them to Apple TV. I think that I should be able to see my entire library on Apple TV shouldn't I?
    Am up-to-date with iTunes and using Mavericks OS. I am connecting to Apple TV with an Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-FI and a brand new Apple TV.
    Thanks for any comments,
    Roger

    Okay, so HomeSharing is not working.  Most likely due to a network issue.
    Is the ATV and computer running iTunes actually on the same network?  Many new routers create seperate networks for the wired and wireless portions of the local network.

  • Can't open shared library .../libnmemso.sl

    Hi,
    I have RAC with 2 nodes of 10.2.0.3 on ASM, platform is HP-UX 11.11.
    On both nodes I've installed EM agent (version 10.2.0.3) by entering command
    ./agentDownload.hpunix -b /opt/oracle -c "node1,node2" -n CLUSTER_NAME -l
    EM shows only some part of information about both instances and no information about OS and platform. Also I see message "java.lang.Exception: No such metric" on page of this cluster.
    Also there are errors in emagent.trc of agents on both nodes:
    fetchlets: Could not load library '/opt/oracle/agent10g/lib32/libnmefos.sl' for reason 'Can't open shared library: /opt/oracle/agent10g/lib32//libnmemso.sl'
    Both libraries are exist and available for reading.
    Is there any workaround or fix about this?
    Thanks in advance.

    can you paste the installaction log

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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,

  • 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

  • Can't see shared iPhoto library

    Computer A can't see Computer B's shared iPhoto library, but B can see A's. Both are running identical versions of iPhoto.
    Both can see each other's iTunes library. Both can connect to each other over the network and transfer files to and fro (they're both on the same home wireless network, same subset).
    Computer B has over 4000 photos, while Computer A has just a couple hundred; could that be a problem?
    Here's what I have done:
    Verified each iPhoto Preferences is set to "Look for shared photos" and "Share my photos".
    Tried requiring a password, and not requiring a password
    Verified System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall has "iPhoto Bonjour Sharing" checked.
    Deleted each computer's iPhoto plist, and reconfiguring iPhoto Preferences as above
    Turned off Little Snitch
    Quit / restarted iPhoto a few times
    Logged in / out, rebooted a few times
    Researched iPhoto Help
    Researched the discussion boards
    Repaired permissions on both (as you can see, I'm resorting to voodoo tactics)
    Googled the problem
    Posted this topic
    That's all I can think of to do.
    So... what haven't I done?
    Message was edited by: John Galt - 4000 photos

    add to the list:
    Created a "test" user account on Computer B, logged in as "test", launched iPhoto, and set it to share / look for shared libraries.
    No change - A can't see B, B can see A. So it's unrelated to the size of the library, probably unrelated to anything iPhoto, probably a network issue. But what?

  • Home sharing - can see shared library but won't pull up songs to share?

    I am trying to share some music with my daughters older mac... I have done it in the past, but it is not working now.  I can share her library on my laptop, but I see my library on her computer, but when I select it no songs come up and it jumps back up to her music library.  Any suggestions?

  • Unable to see shared library

    I searched for and read about a dozen previous posts on this subject but was unable to find a solution. Not only can I not see any shared library but I don't even have a "shared" menu item on either PC as described in the help file. It should show up under the Library>Music heading?
    Both PC's:
    ...can connect to the internet
    ...can transfer files back and forth
    ...can see each others "Shared Docs" directory
    ...have iTunes and Bonjour listed as exceptions in Windows Firewall
    ...have the latest verions of iTunes and Bonjour
    When I point the iTunes Music Folder location on the 'remote' PC to the iTunes Music Folder on the 'host' PC, it finds it, see's it, and then asks if I want to update (the view)? to match? I said yes. Still the same list of songs that are physically on the remote PC and nowhere does it say anything about sharing or give any indication that it is aware of the host library.
    What am I not getting?

    "iTunes Sharing, the built-in feature, has nothing to do with pointing your iTunes Music folder setting to a shared folder on another computer. Those are two separate features/capabilities."
    Yes, I get that - I was just trying everything I could think of to make it see my shared library.
    "do you have Sharing and "Look for shared" turned on in the iTunes Sharing preferences?"
    Yes.
    "you want to have your iTunes library using the shared folder on your other computer, you need to use the Add Folder to Library command to get the tracks into the iTunes library listing"
    Not quite sure what your getting at here. The help file for sharing the entire library gives 3 simple steps and then says "its name appears in the iTunes window (below Shared) on other local computers (in the same subnet) set up to look for shared libraries." - obviously this is not happening.
    The whole reason to share and use the host library is specifically to avoid having to manually add tracks/folders from the remote PC.
