Cannot see shared libraries

I have a 1st gen iPad (ipad1) running iOS 5.1.1
Ipad1 is connected to iTunes 11.0.1.12 on my windows 32 bit laptop (laptop1) using my Apple ID (ID1)
I have just bought a new iPad retina (ipad2) running iOS 6.0.1 for my partner
Ipad2 is connected to ITunes 11.0.1.12 on my partners' windows 32 bit laptop (laptop2) using his Apple ID (ID2)
We want to share content, including apps, books, films and music so we tried to set up home sharing over our wireless Internet home network
We have authorised ID1 and ID2 on both laptop1 and laptop2
We have set up home sharing using ID2 on both laptop1 and laptop2
Both laptops have the firewalls switched off
But we still cannot see each other's libraries on iTunes on laptop1 and laptop2
We have tried rebooting, shutting down and reopening iTunes, turning home sharing off and on etc. but still cannot get it to work and it is driving us mad. Many posts suggested this was a problem with iTunes 11 so we even tried reverting to iTunes 10.3.1 and still could not see each others libraries.
Could someone please help!

I couldn't see shared iTunes libraries. Apple Support could not help, "...it's a network issue..."
Here's the answer (...at least for me...).
We have 4 Mac's & 1 Windows machine. Network is a DSL modem to a Links router, to an Apple Airport (2 hard wired & 3 wireless computers).
With above clue and the techie mantra RTFM (Read The F..ing Manual) I noted the Airport manual says that when connected to a router the Airport should be configured NOT to issue it's own IP addresses; in this mode it acts as a 'bridge' to the router who issues all IP's. Problem solved.
Everyone can see everyone else.
Hope this helps someone!

Cannot see Shared Folders from xmlpserver - OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.5)

Hi All,
I have got a an issue with the permissions i.e. I can log in to http://hostname:7001/analytics and open a report that is stored in "Shared Folders" but if I log in to http//hostname:7001/xmlpserver with same user I cannot see Shared Folders.
How to fix this issue? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your quick response Kishore.
The user is the Admin user. This user is part of XMLP_ADMIN group as well.
I can create a file from http://hostname:7001/xmlpserver in the shared folders but cannot see. I can see the same file from http://hostname:7001/analytics. any idea?

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.

Skype for Business - Cannot see shared screens, bu...

I just started a new job and am required to use Skype for Business. I downloaded Skype for Business 32 bit. My PC is 64 bit but because I already have other Office 32 bit programs, I cannot install the 64 bit version.
Everything in Skype for Business appears to work properly, except for the fact that I cannot see someone else's screen when they've shared it with me. When someone shares their screen with me, all that I can see is the empty white box where their desktop should be. When I share my screen with others, they can see my desktop correctly.
What other information is needed to help diagnose this issue? I really need this functionality in order to do my job properly.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I was using Lync as part of the offerings found on Office 365 and I was prompted to "upgrade" to Skype for Business and so I did per the suggestion. Lync had screen sharing, Skype for Business currently does not have screen sharing! This is a major dissapointment. Who is the product manager and why the premature roll-out? This is incredebly frustrating as most all my clients leverage Lync (their own install on their servers... have not upgraded yet.. lucky for them) and screen sharing is an important part of my interaction. It took many of my clients a long time to master Lync and therefore, it is incredebly challenging to teach them how to use an alternative tool over the phone. I feel incridebly duped. My clients can share with me however, I cannot share with them. What is the current timeframe for enabling (re-enabling) this functionality? How can I get back Lync? Is there a beta release of the next version? Finally, how can this be called "Skype for Business" when a core aspect of the tool to conduct "business" had been stripped away without warning?

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?

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.

Our team cannot see shared and sync'd files in our Creative Cloud account. How can we fix this?

The team members are logged in, have loaded a test file in the Creative Cloud Files directory, uploaded them to the Cloud and made the files public, but we cannot see them in the web browser under "Creative Cloud Files".
The files seem to be there because we can send an email with a link to the files and can see them through the linke, just not in the browser.
What might we be doing wrong?

Folder sharing is not available yet. It is being worked on.
So currently a file is owned by one Adobe ID. That Adobe ID can create a public sharing link to that file. Anyone can access this link whether or not they are signed in with an Adobe ID.

Urgent: Cannot see shared volumes while installing Clusterware

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.
Thanks anyways.

Mac cannot see shared windows 7 pc or printer

Recently upgraded to windows 7 (from xp) and now I'm having issues networking with my iMac. The PC can see the Mac just fine. On the mac, 0 items show up under network, even though file and print sharing are enabled on the PC. If I "connect to server" I am able to mount the shared windows folders. I am also able to stream my itunes library from the pc to the mac. However, I cannot add the shared printer connected to the windows 7 pc to the mac. I also have a laptop running windows xp and it can see both the mac and windows 7 pc just fine. It can also use the shared printer.
Basically I need to know why my shared windows 7 pc and windows xp laptop are not showing up as shared computers in finder, and why isn't the mac recognizing the shared printer?

I've contacted both Apple and Microsoft this morning. Apple says that since I can force the connection it must be a MS issue.. something they've changed in windows 7. MS says that since the windows 7 computer can browse files on the mac and because the xp laptop can print to the shared windows 7 printer, this issue is beyond their boundary for support, ie.. it's a Mac issue.
I don't care to point fingers. I just want things to work. As a last resort, i'm going to physically connect the printer to the mac, share it, and see if the windows pc can use it. However, that is not a desirable option for me because of the location of the computers/space in my home.

My iTunes does not see shared libraries and is not connectable

I am using Comodo Firewall on Windows 7 x64. I have a mac mini with no sharing and an iMac with sharing of iTunes libraries enabled.
The mini is able to see and read the library of the iMac, while the iTunes on Windows 7 isn't able to see any library at all.
The mini is also not able to see nor read the library of the Windows pc.
I have opened ports 3689 and 5353 on Comodo firewall and iTunes is a 'trusted application'. ICMP is also not blocked (not sure it is allowed).
The mini and the imac are on wireless, the windows pc is wired.
Does anyone have an idea what I am missing?

Try to turn both the computer and phone off then turn them both back on..once the computer starts, try to go to iTunes first then connect your phone to it. If it still doesn't pop up, u might have to uninstall iTunes then reinstall it. This happened to me before.

Cannot see shared comments in Acrobat Pro Extended

If I use Adobe Reader 10 to look at a shared review PDF, I can see a screen asking me to CONNECT. And when the PDF is open, I can see all the comments with the "Check for new comments" button at the top left side of the PDF file.
Now they installed Acrobat Pro Extended for me the other day. When I open the same review PDF in Pro Extended, I do not see the CONNECT screen, and I do not see any comments. What's wrong with Pro Extended? Why is it not working? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian

Ok. Perhaps the option 'Check for updates' has been blocked by your IT department. Ask them to get the patch for you if you dont find an option.
As far as seeing the comments in the review is concerned, if it is a review file, you should be getting a yellow bar when you open it in Acrobat/Reader. If you dont see it on opening the review file, or you dont get the Connect/Welcome dialogs, probably it is no longer a shared review file. Try with some other review files and see if you can get it working.

Apple tv cannot see All libraries on Mac.

After my latest holiday I have put all my photos onto my Mac, I can browse and view them all in iPhoto and have downloaded them to my iPad, but when I try to view them using apple tv, I can see all the other events/folders but the latest holiday event/folder is just not there, spent hours trying to solve it but I am lost.
Please help.

Have you restarted AppleTV and iTunes?

ITunes shared libraries not showing in Mac OS Lion (but OK in Win7!)

I have recently bought my first Mac and so far everything is great. Except iTunes.
I'm still using iTunes on a Windows PC and I now have my iTunes Media all on a D-Link DNS-323 NAS.
I want to be able to listen to the same music (stored on the NAS) either on my PC, or my MacBook, or anywhere else in the home. So I'm using the NAS iTunes Server.
iTunes on Windows can see and access the NAS iTunes server no problem, but the MacBook (Lion) cannot even see it.
I also tried sharing my both my libraries on Windows (where my main iTunes Music Library was made over the years - now referencing media stored on the NAS) and on my Mac (the library is empty even though I've told it all my media is on the mounted NAS!). However, whilst Windows iTunes can see the (empty!!) Macbook iTunes library, the Mac again cannot see the Windows Shared Library.
So it seems my Macbook has a problem seeing shared libraries, regardless of whether they are on my Windows PC or the NAS drive.
Both the PC and the Macbook are running latest iTunes (10.6 on the Mac) and for the sake of testing, I have disabled ALL firewalls on the router (Huawei), Mac and Windows. So there should be nothing blocking the IP traffic across my home network (which is very simple!).
Any ideas on:
1) How I can get iTunes 10.6 on Lion to see my DNS-323 iTunes server
2) Or how I can get all my media in my Macbook's library without it fighting for control over my library with my PC
many thanks

I have the same problem. REading some other threads, there is no obvious solution, other than perhaps that apple silently is suppressing Windows to enable more mac sales? I know, a bit rude to say, but that is the impression one gets if there is no simple/obvious solution despite the "Mac just works" reputation. If am wrong, I apologize, please direct me to the thread or faq that gives the solution, thanks.
