Cannot access shared music from iBook on Windows PC; both updated to 7

I just updated both my PC and my iBook to the iTunes 7 and I can only access my PC music library from my iBook and not the other way around. It was working perfectly both ways until I updated the iBook. The message appears on my PC: The shared music library "X" is not compatible with this version of iTunes. They are both updated and I tried temporarily turning off my personal firewall and it still doesn't work. Please help me
Thank you

Hi,
Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
1.
Disable simple file sharing on the Windows XP computer:
How to disable simple file sharing and how to set
permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP
2.
On the Windows 7 computer, go to “Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings” and ensure that the
following items are turned ON:
Network Discovery
File and printer sharing
And this one is OFF:
Password protected sharing
3.
Temporarily disable or remove all the security software (firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc.) on the computers and check if it works.
In addition,
I would like to share the following with you for your reference:

Hope this helps. Thanks.

My Ipod touch just downloaded IO6 but when I press the music button it goes to an entirely white screen for about a minute then reverts to the main ipod screen. I cannot access my music or podcasts. Have restarted both. What should I do?

Computer and Ipod have both been restarted. Video has the same white screen problem. THIS IS NOT THE WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH - just when I press the music or video button.

- Try connecting to comutr and then try to restor.
- If still white screen, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the reset and restore again.

Apple TV crashes when accessing Shared Music

_Short Description:_ Every time I try to access Shared Music on Apple TV, it crashes.
Detailed: I have a Windows 7 PC running iTunes. My music library is very large (1 TB), so it is on an external drive, and I have just added that folder to iTunes. Apple TV is connected to my network, and shows as a "speaker" in iTunes or Remote, and I can stream music TO it fine, but every time I try to access shared music from the Apple TV, it crashes. Initially, I thought it might be due to fact that my iTunes library is so large, so I tried creating a small playlist of iTunes songs, and only sharing that playlist, and Apple TV still crashes when I select SHared Music from the menu. I have been searching the web for months to find a solution, but can't. Any assistance would be appreciated.

The physical size of your library is not relevant (mine is closing in on 4 TB - but the vast majority is video). What is important is the number of items since this will determine the size of your itunes database, if your 1 TB is all music you may well have in excess of 100,000 items and this may be your problem.
Since you are talking about shared music you must have a secondary library, but you don't get an option to share playlists with a secondary library, so I'm a little confused. Assuming for a moment your nomenclature is misleading me and you have a primary library, then you are likely talking about syncing playlists. Syncing a playlist will not change the size of your database since all unsynced content remains able to be streamed.
If you are using a primary library, try checking the only show synced items and resyncing.
(Please excuse my unsupported nomenclature)

Moved iTunes library to an ext hard drive to make space on my int drive... Followed steps from apple. Now I cannot access my music... It says: "File could not be used because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it?"

Moved iTunes library to an ext hard drive to make space on my int drive... Followed steps from apple. Now I cannot access my music... It says: "File could not be used because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it?"
I moved my iTunes library to my external hard drive some time ago and I followed the directions listed here on the apple support page. It did copy my library and now is on my hard drive... I can open iTunes and use it to sync all of my devices but I would like to play my music... I can see all of my music files but can not play them if I click on an album or song it says the following: "(file name) could not be used because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it?" I click locate but do not know where to go from there? I need a way to access all files and not to hunt down one at a time on my hard drive... I am pretty sure I deleted the original library to make space on my internal drive which was the reason for moving it. I have tried and tried to fix it and do not have a lot of time to do so with a one and two year old at my house who do not like it whenI sit down at my computer. What to do??? Any help is much appreciated!!!

See Make a split library portable. Move all of the bits of the library together in the the correct shape and it should work. Or undo exactly what you did and then start over.
If you're a former Windows user don't try merging two folders together that have the same name by dropping one into the same folders as the other, as that goes badly on a Mac.

How do I access the music from my Mac drive while booted into Windows?

How do I access the music from my Mac drive while booted into Windows via Bootcamp? I tried using MacDrive but it's not supported for Vista 64-bit edition. Is there another program out there that I can use? I just want to be able to access my music that's on Leopard while in Vista. Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Your best bet is to move the music on the Windows side since Leopard will be able to read and play the music from the mounted Windows drive (Leopard will not be able write anything to the Windows NTFS partition).
In your case it won't work the other way around.

[SOLVED] VBox: Access shared folders from Windows Server 2008 Guest

Hi,
I have installed virtualbox v4.2.4 on Arch and I launch a WIndows Server 2008 guest. I want to access shared folder from guest. How to do it?

Hi,
I have done this but it does not work.
My network is configured as a NAT in virutalbox.
Also from WIndows server 2008 guest I do:
net use z:\\vboxsvr\mySharedFolder
Do I have to install additional software in host or do I have to configure something in Windows server 2008 guest?

SRS Browser Role Cannot Access Shared Data Sources

I've created some reports using VS and shared data sources and deployed. I can run reports (I'm a domain admin), but users I've given system administrator roles within SRS cannot access shared data sources. However, if I embed the data source, everything
is fine. I'm pulling data from three different servers, so the shared data sources are somewhat important. I'm using SQL Native userid/passwords not windows authentication. Anybody got any ideas? I'm new to SRS. Thanks.

Hi Janetb,
I’m confused about the meaning of “cannot access shared data sources”. Are you saying the user cannot see the Shared Data Sources in Report Server, but he can render the report well? Or the user cannot render the report well because he have no permission
to access shared data sources?
If in this first scenario, means that the role of the user have no permission to View data sources. To fix this issue, we can add View data sources task to the current role in SQL Server Management Studio.
If in the second scenario, it is so strange. In my test, I add Browser role of the report to one user which has no permission to access the shared data sources, but he can render the report which retrieve data from the shared data sources very well.
To troubleshooting this issue more efficiently, could you tell us the scenario you occurred and the error message you received? So that we can make further analysis and help you out.
Thanks,

Hello MacBook Pro Musicians- I cannot read sheet music from the ipad. It is too small. I want to connect a large monitor, hopefully wirelessly to my 13 inch macbook pro. what would I need to connect ? Any suggestions on how to keep monitor from falling?

Hello Macbook Pro Musicians--I cannot read sheet music from my 13" macbook or from an IPad. The print is too small for these aging eyes! So I need to get a large monitor to attach to the Macbook. I want the monitor to be connected wirelessly or using a blue tooth. This will eliminate alot of potential mishaps
when playing out. Also I am having a time figuring out how I am going to safely keep the monitor on somekind of music stand without falling!!! Can anyone help me with this?

Hi Julius,
As you can see in my profile section, my MBP is older by 5 years, 2GB RAM and with regards to question 1 (Q1), has no problems with having all those programs open at the same time with the possible exception of Photoshop since I use Gimp instead. With twice the RAM and much overall much better specs, Photoshop shouldn't be an issue. But you listed some other activities that might need that additional RAM. But the advise most give is to not get it from Apple but from a third party.
Q5 - I always get Apple Care. Only had to use it once but it paid for itself that one time.
Sorry, can't help you much with the questions you really want answered since I won't have a new MBP until (hopefully) next week but for Q4, I believe it depends on the peripheral. My current monitors are too old to allow them to be hooked up in a chain. Supposedly, if the monitors do have the ports, you could via the MBP Thunderbolt port. The speeds are also dependent upon the peripheral. If the external hard drive is using a USB 2 port, you are limited by that speed (480 Mb/s). If it has a Thunderbolt port, then from what I understand, we, my friend, are in for some great times because I believe your RAM will have the ability to access data as fast as it can take it at 10Gb/s (and if will need those kinds of speeds, the 8GB of RAM may be the way to go). The Thunderbolt demos on YouTube where they are accessing four video files from a Raid drive, then sending them back out via Final Cut Pro to a monitor are amazing. I'll probably never push this machine to anywhere near it's limits but I can't wait to see what others do.
Peace,
Jeremiah

Cannot access shared folders anymore....

Hi,
We have a naughty problem at the office for accessing shared folders .
We use G5 Xserve + Xraid serving home access to 12 macs.
Our problem started when we updated all machines to 10.5.2 (nor did we have a problem with 10.5.1 or with 10.5.0).
All machines login correctly, fetch their folders with their home accesses located in the Xserve, as allways did, BUT :
·Almost all the machines running Leopard (except two) CANNOT access shared items. They get Error -5002
·The old machines running Tiger (G3 Imac's) acess shared items without problem.
So after many weeks doing multiple tests, we got the following conclusions:
·Problem is not server related.
·Problem si related to Leopard clients , although not in all
·Problem is not related to the machine, but with the account (accounts that can access shared items do it on any machine, and accounts that can't, don't do it on any machine)
·It seems that the trouble is related somewhat with Kerberos authentication, but it's not related to tickets (renewing them is no use)
·If we create new account with new name, it can access shared items
·If we create new account with same name that of the faulty one (renaming the later), it CANNOT access shared items.
We have got a problem in the office, and no clue of solving it.... Have read all over apple discussions over the internet, and although some people have similar issues, they are not as close as ours....
And none of the solutions proposed have solved the problem.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, cause we are starting to get desperate
Thanks everyone.

new update:
we are able to connect to remote shared folders with a different remote server (dual G4) from every machine
machines who can connect to local server are INTELs, the one who can't are PPCs
makes any sense to anyone?¿

Accessing shared pictures from a NAS

Hello,
I have read many topics of this support before asking this question. I didn't find the answer but I found that many users are very helpful.
_So, my problem is:_
I have a NAS (network attached storage) connected to the airport extreme, and I have my MBP. The NAS is a Lacie UPnP compatible and compatible with bonjour, afp, etc,etc. I would like to see the pics in the NAS as shared pictures when I open iPhoto. I enabled the "search for shared libraries" on iPhoto and have some pictures on the NAS, however I can't see them. Some people mentioned in other posts that they see the name of the NAS...I don't. However, I have to add that this sytem works perfectly with iTunes, i.e. I can access shared music on the NAS from my MBP.
_So the question is:_
Do you have any idea to fix it?
Thanks
Yann

I have reset my Apple ID & Password but I still cannot access the music I purchased using another computer, ID & PW. It keeps saying that my computer is not authorize to play the songs. I have tried everything and nothing seems to work. Help!

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?
