Cannot see others shared libraries

Before I updated my ipad 1 to iOS 5, I was able to view and play not only my shared library, but the other shared libraries on my network through the iPod app. I did this by clicking on the library tab in the upper left hand corner and simply selecting whos library i wanted to access. Since i have updated to iOS 5, I can only see my shared library and no one elses. How can I see all of the other shared libraries??

Hi bltj2000,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
We have a great article that goes over the ways you can share music with iTunes:

    Yes, that appears how Mavericks works right now. However, you can open the Address Panel, select all your contacts, then click the To (or CC, or Bcc) buttons to move the selection to the address field.
    If it is not already in the Toolbar, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize Toolbar…
    Then, drag the address panel up to wherever you want it.
    You may also want to add it to the New Message window in the same way.

  • Other Mac users cannot see my shared public folder

    Other users on my network cannot see my Public shared folder. I can see their public folders no problem. I can connect to my computer from another Mac and "connect as" myself and see folders.
    I have File Sharing turned on. Permissions look copacetic. It says I'm the owner of the shared folder.
    IT's has a profile on this same machine – its Public folder shows up for other users. When I set up a new account profile, its shared folder shows up no problem.
    It may, just may, have to do with me changing my short login name after migrating to this machine. Problem is, I have no idea how to confirm that. Finder shows proper ownership and permissions in the info windows. I think there's something deeper down in the account system level that is wrong, but I don't know where to look.

    If you have admin rights, you can create a new account in System Preferences and see if that shared folder shows up on the network. If it does, then it could be related to changing short name (which I have heard you aren't suppose to do). If not, it may be something in the system. Give that a try and post back what happens.

  • Cannot see home sharing in itunes

  • Can see myself, cannot see others and they can't see me, but text chat work

    I have not seen a generic FAQ on this. Twice i have connected with friends in the US.
    We all have Macs. We can chat with no problem.
    I can see myself. I cannot see them. They cannot see me.
    Would there be a reason for this or solution?
    I have settings on maximum bandwidth.
    if MAC Chat does not work with video, would some other free service work?
    thanks

    iChat to iChat works in Video, Audio only and in iChat 4 Screen Sharing as well.
    Ideally System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab needs to be set at 1.5Mbps
    This is because in Tiger and iChat 3 the Automatic setting is returned to iChat 3 as a 0 (In Leopard and iChat 4 it is set to limit you to 384k).
    Restart iChat if you have to Change it
    Depending on certain suppliers iChat's Own Bandwidth Limit in ichat > Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth Limit drop down can be better if limited to 500kbps
    This can be changed on the fly during a chat and does not need a restart of the application.
    In an iChat to iChat Video chat these are the most likely causes.
    iChat to AIM on a PC is a different kettle of fish.
    AIM Says this about AIM 6.5
    http://www.aim.com/helpfaq/starting_out/getstarted.adp#608
    On the 10th June they issued AIM 6.8 but have yet to add any support pages.
    Some people say they can get it to work though.
    The PC end need s to do this...
    http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page12.html#_Service
    They may also need to find the Preferences for AIM on their computer and set the camera in the Enhanced IM tab.
    MeBeam is a web based application that uses Flash to control your Camera and Mic (it puts up a pop up for you to Agree to the control and it only lasts as long as you are connected - you may have to change the camera type setting).
    There are other options as far as applications go

  • G5 Cannot see other devices in network, despite being hardwired to the AE

    I just don't get this.
    - My G5 is plugged in via Ethernet to an Airport Extreme.
    - I have and Airport Express configured as a repeater and for AirTunes in the living room.
    - I have an iPhone and a MacBook.
    The following conditions are true and as they should be:
    - The G5 receives the internet via the Airport Extreme
    - The Macbook receives the internet via the network
    - The MacBook can see the File Sharing that the G5 puts out
    - The MacBook can see the Airport Extreme and Express with Airport Utility
    - The MacBook can use iTunes to connect to the Express for AirTunes
    - The iPhone receives the internet over Wi-Fi via this network
    - The iPhone can use Remote to control the MacBook's iTunes
    The following conditions are true and, given above, make no sense to me at all:
    - The G5 cannot see either the Airport Extreme or the Express with Airport Utility
    - The G5 cannot use iTunes to connect to the Express for AirTunes
    - The G5 cannot see the iPhone/Remote in its list of devices in iTunes
    I just flat out don't understand how the G5 can get internet from the Airport Extreme and connect to the MacBook over Wi-Fi via the Airport Extreme, but cannot do anything else that the MacBook can do on this network.
    Can someone shed some light on this? I've checked firewall settings and they aren't any different between the G5 and the MacBook.
    Please.... I'm just totally confused.
    P.S. I've left off the complexity of the Laserwriter, but, I often configure this by adding a small hub between the Airport Extreme and the G5, adding in the Laserwriter via Ethernet to the Hub. The G5 can print to it, the MacBook can print to it, but none of the above changes if I remove the Hub from the network.

    I've done some additional troubleshooting and things seem to be related to the G5...
    - I tried different users on the G5, same results: G5 cannot see AirTunes or the iPhone, and the Airport Utility doesn't show either Airport Express or Extreme
    - I tried putting the MacBook on the Ethernet network, disabling the Airport on it, same results: MacBook can see the Airport Express and Extreme with the Utility, and can see Airtunes and the iPhone
    I also tried enabling File Sharing on the MacBook. It takes 7 seconds for the G5 to open a connection the MacBook via AFP file sharing, and it takes two minutes for the MacBook to open a connection to the G5 via AFP file sharing.
    I think my next step will be reinstalling the OS on the G5, but I wish I understood why two machines with the same OS on the same network, on the same position on the network, have such a difference in what they can see and what they cannot see.
    Does anyone have any insights to share?

  • Front Row Doesn't See my Shared Libraries

    Pretty simple problem, front row doesn't display any of the many shared libraries on my network. I have both Mac and PC's that are sharing and can see me but I can't see them in Front Row.
    Furthermore, they are visible in iTunes...
    Mitch

    Mitch,
    I had been experiencing the same problem. MacMini Front Row 2.1.3 (and earlier) not "seeing" shared iTunes libraries from iMac, G4, or other PC's on my home network, yet iTunes on the same machine was always able to see and connect to the shared libraries. All machines are at the latest versions of iTunes and Quicktime and there were no unusual file formats involved (Mp3 and Mp4). Since this had been going on for eons and no updates from Apple seemed to resolve the issue, and searching these forums offered no solutions I decided to spend some time today working on the problem.
    I created a new account on the MacMini and when I fired up Front Row it was able to see the other Sources (I would suggest you try that as a first step). Since this validated that the problem was not with Front Row but rather with some other settings on my regular user account I began removing plists from my ~/<UserName>/Library/Preferences folder and rebooting after removing each plist before and testing Front Row Sources again. When I removed the com.apple.iTunes.plist and rebooted I was able to see the other sources through Front Row.
    This has fixed the problem for me. I did need to reset my iTunes environment (preferences, music location and iTunes Store information) when I relaunched iTunes but other than that there were no changes.
    I would not imagine that it is a recommend practice to delete plists in this way but I was getting very frustrated with their being no solutions to the problem. I hope this solution works for you.

  • While installing Clusterware cannot see raw shared partitions

    I have made 4 extended logical drives from EMC shared storage to be visible from my two nodes on 64bit windows 2003 server. During Clusterware installation while selecting the disks for OCR and Voting file, I cannot see the raw shared volumes.
    The following is the output of cluvfy utility for component shared storage accessibility,
    # runcluvfy.exe comp ssa -n node1,node2
    Verifying shared storage accessibility
    Checking shared storage accessibility...
    Shared storage check failed on nodes "node2,node1".
    Verification of shared storage accessibility was unsuccessful on all the nodes.
    I also get exectask.exe encounter a problem and needed to close meassage aswell.
    [email protected]

    The issue is resolved. I formatted the shared disks with NTFS file system. Then deleted the partition and recreated extended logical volumes and now the shared storage is accessible from the clusterware instalation for the selection of ocr and voting files.
    #cluvfy comp ssa -n node1,node2
    The above command on 64bit win2003 servers gives error. This is due to bug 6007675. Base Bug number is 4714708. So the solution is to continue with the installation and ignore the error message.

  • Cannot see other PCs on the network

    I'm using Leopard 10.5.6 on the new Macbook connected to the internet via Belkin router. the problem is I cannot see the other machines on the network which normally can be seen when i was using a PC.
    I've already turned my SMB in System Pref/Sharing
    additional information, sometimes, i was able to but see sometimes i wasn't, depends on my luck.
    router ip 192.168.2.1

    Welcome to Apple Discussions:

    That won't do anything. That only allows sharing From Mac To PC.
    additional information, sometimes, i was able to but see sometimes i wasn't, depends on my luck.
    Maverick says Luck has nothing to do with it
    router ip 192.168.2.1
    target PC 192.168.2.2
    Can you ping the PC? That's the first step. In other words, can you see it on the most basic level?
    Open a terminal and enter
    ping 192.168.2.2
    if that's the PC in question.
    If you get a non-null response you are half-way there.
    On the PCs, be sure you have file sharing turned on and also be sure you choose simple file sharing.
    On the Mac, in the Finder Go menu, enter the IP of the PC where it says "Connect to Server" and you should get a login window. Enter the user id and password for an existing account on the PC.
    That usually takes care of it.
    pls help.

  • VMWare Fusion - Cannot see other computers in the Workgroup

    For some reason I'm unable to see or access other machines in my Windows Workgroup from within Fusion 1.1.3. Alternatively, I cannot see or access the VM from other WinXP machines in my workgroup. The other WinXP machines in my workgroup CAN at least ping the VM. I cannot ping anything outside of the VM other than OS X and my gateway/router. And yes, I've tried disabling the firewall on both the VM and other Windows machines in my Workgroupto no avail.
    I am currently using a Bridged network configuration in Fusion. If I open an explorer window in the VM and type in the UNC path to OS X I can access it, but not other Windows machines on my network... why?
    Perhaps someone can at least confirm whether they can access/see other computers in their Workgroup from Fusion?
    Maybe this simply isn't possible under Fusion and I'm just going around in circles here...
    Thanks

    How did you resolve this? I am about ready to toss my month-old macbook out the window over this.

  • Can't see other sharing computers in network

    I have this issue with a Macbook Air running Mountain Lion, that it can't show any other sharing computers in the network except another Macbook when using wireless network. I have the following setting:
    Firewall is off
    SMB file sharing is on
    Workgroup is set to WORKGROUP in WINS tab
    Location has been saved rather than Automatic
    Other computers (that are sharing) can be connected using the tool opened using Cmd+K
    Seems to be able to see the other computers some times when connecting using Ethernet
      I have relaunched Finder and restarted the laptop, nothing is making the sharing computers show up.
      The problem occurs to this laptop only. My laptop, a Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard, have no problem finding these computers in the same wireless setup.

    I figured it out awhile back. There was a glitch and when I upgraded to the next version (From when I posted this message), my other hard drive reappeared in the network.

  • Lion and others Mac 10.6, I cannot see Screen Sharing on the network

    Hello all,
    Since I've install Lion on the Mac Mini I cannot acces (and see) on the network in Screen Sharing. I can access all other Mac on 10.5.8 and 10.6.x easily. In the prefs all is exactly like before I upgrade this OS...
    Is someone can give me an issue.
    Thank and have a great day!
    Paul Dionne

    I'm not sure what you are and are not seeing from which computers on the network.
    Note that whatever your prefererences were before has no bearing on fixing your problem.
    Which computers can you see, and from which computers.
    What type of file sharing do you have enabled on the 10.5.8 and 10.6.x computers, AFP or SMB?

  • Cannot see home sharing via iTunes 10.6.3 on Windows 8

    Good morning!
    I have the latest version of iTunes installed on two iMacs, as well as on a PC running Windows 8 Consumer Preview. I am able to turn on home sharing on all three systems. The two iMacs can see each other's music libraries and playlists, but not the music or playlists on the Windows 8 PC. Furthermore, the Windows 8 PC does not acknowledge the existance of either of the iMacs. I have made sure that the Windows firewall settings include the iTunes and iTuneshelper executables, as well as turned off the Windows firewall completely, but this has not helped.
    Is anyone else experiencing a similar problem with iTunes 10.6.3 on Windows 8 Consumer Preview? Any ideas or suggestions on how I might make this work?
    Thank you,
    Geoff

    If you have a firewall on your router, which you likely do, the Firewall on your computer is not a great loss. However you should be allowed to just allow communications over certain ports and keep your firewall on.

  • Cannot see my shared USB hard disk's connected on my Mac-mini on my Macbook

    As you all can see, I'm a Mac user since 1989, i've don't like working on a windows-computer.
    But i've got a problem since I'm using Mac os X 10.5. If i try to make a connection with my Macbook pro to my Mac-mini (my Mac-mini has two USB hard disks) i cannot select the USB hard disks. But my WIDOWS computer has no problem to approche these disks???? Can anyone help me????

    Hi WillemH777-NL and welcome to the discussion forums.
    On the MacMini open system preferences-->sharing
    then select 'File Sharing' from the Service column. Then under Shared Folders make sure your 2 usb drives are listed, if not click the + sign and add them.
    then click the 'options' button
    make sure Share files and folders using AFP is checked
    make sure Share file and folders using SMB is checked
    Then switch on the names of the users and the mac can use the smb service.
    then click Done
    Now see if you can access the mini's sharepoints.
