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?

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 Music (Not radio button problem!)

    I haven't been able to see Shared Music on my college network since I reinstalled Windows XP (around iTunes 4.8). I don't know what settings have changed.
    I now have the latest iTunes, the radio buttons are on. I heard about opening up a port, and bonjour service. I'm not sure how to execute those solutions.
    Thanks for your time,
    Connie

    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 music, but can see servers!

    Hiyas
    I had to reinstall OSX last week. Everything went fine, but now, on iTunes, I can't see my music that is on another Mac anymore. Inside iTunes, I can see the other Mac and I can connect to it without an error. But once connected, iTunes doesn't let me browse any music.
    I know that music exists there since I can easily connect to the iTunes server running there with my Soundbridges or even with Windows, just not with the Mac. I don't have a Firewall set and the problem appears both with WiFi and with wired ethernet. I can see the server in iTunes, I can connect to it, but thats it. I don't see any music there.
    Does anyone know what's going on here?
    Best regards, Fuggs

    Both to varying degrees.
    The idea is that iTunes Match puts a list of all your content on your device, but not the content itself. As you choose to play from the list it is then downloaded as required.
    You can see which content is actually on your device by turning the ’Show all content' button I mentioned before to off.

  • 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 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 ...

  • HT4527 I tried home sharing between my desk top and my lap top. My desk top is the original computer with my iTunes library. On my lap top I can only see the music I have bought from iTunes. Is this all I should see? Not my entire library?

    I have tried to install home sharing between my desk top and lap top. I can only see the music I have bought from iTunes on my lap top. Is this normal? I thought I would be able to see my entire library.

    Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

  • 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 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?

  • 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've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

    I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

    What fixed it for me:
    On your computer, open iTunes > My iPhone (or whatever name you gave your iPhone) > "Music" page
    Uncheck "Sync Music"
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
    Let it run and finish
    Uncheck the box for every song, playlist, etc.
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right) (This step may be unnecessary, but I did it and got the result I wanted.)
    Let it run and finish
    Check the boxes for the music you want on your iPhone
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
    Let it run and finish
    See if that doesn't work for you.  I tried a lot of things that did nothing, but this seems to have fixed it, and quickly.

  • 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.

  • Can't see my music!!

    how can I see the music that I bought, i dont know how to find it. I want update the iOS4 software and it says that I have to transfer the music that I bought in the past. I just want somebody to explain me how to transfer my music so I can update the software.
    PS. it's ok that I update iSO4 software. I've been heard it drains iPod's battery and stuff. thoughts?

    HP iPods... I know they did this awhile back. Not sure if they still do it?!
    When you select your iPod, and the songs are greyed out, its becuase of security and stealing protection. Although there is plenty of software that allow you to "un-grey" the songs.
    You cannot create a new playlist directly on your iPod. It has to be done on your iTunes Library, then synced to your iPod.
    The new 5G iPods are a little bit larger than previous models, but thats because of that nice 65,000+ color screen... (the screen is bigger)

  • When i plug my ipod in i can't see my music or playlist?

    I just got a new used ipod and I transferred music from my library to my Ipod and now I can't see my music list or my playlist so I can't add or delete music.

    Can't see it in iTunes or on the iPod itself?  To view content that is synced to your iPod via iTunes, click the small black triangle next to your iPod from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes to reveal a submenu of content.  Click the appropriate playlist or content category to view what content has been synced to the Nano.

    Hello,
    There are no files like that in that folder (com.apple.safari).  They all have long numbers with .jpeg or .png at the end.  That's what I meant by I cannot find any files like those mentioned in all the helps I read today.  BTW-it's still crashing - no particular pattern to it at all.
    The only two things I have downloaded recently is a new version of Flash and a Mac-driven update to Office.
    Thank you very much for your attempt to help us.
