Cant see or share music over iTunes within my network

Hi everyone,
I'm behind a router/firewall at my residence and I cannot view or share my music. Which ports do I have to open to fix this problem?

Hi,
If you want to share your music on your LAN, you shouldn't need to modify the settings of you firewall router. Have you also activated your OSX firewall? If so, go into the system preferences under sharing; you will see there a check box to allow iTune sharing but you should not need you OSX firewall if you are behind a router in your residence.
Make sure you also that you have properly set the iTunes sharing option from the Sharing tab of the iTunes preferences. "Share my library on my local network" need to be activated on the iTunes you need to share the library and "Look for shared libraries" on your other computers.

    23 GB  of other indicates a corrupt file(s).  A restore should resolve.

  • Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer

    Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer? My kids iPods are under my account now with all of our shared music but they want their own iTunes accounts. I would like to transfer the music and apps that they purchased under my account to their new accounts... Is this posible?

    Did you enable the display of system files and hidden files and folders?
    by the way, how can i stop this from happening another time.
    Make a backup!
    i had music there for over 6 years.
    Well you must have updated iTunes once or twice in that time. Do you have some sort of "tidying" app that is supposed to clean "unnecessary" files. If so perhaps it is too aggressive.

  • How do I share music in iTunes between different iTunes account on the MacBook Pro?

    How do I share music in iTunes between different iTunes account on the MacBook Pro?

    If it's in a single iTunes library, it's already being shared. If it's in separate user accounts on the computer, move one library to the /Users/Shared/ folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down, point it there, and import the music from the other library to it.

  • I see all the music in itunes but when I "explore" the drive many subfolders for my individual albums are missing. Help

    On version 10.5 and was trying to move my itunes music to a larger drive. I had issues and moved it all back to the original drive. Now I see all the music in itunes but when I "explore" the drive many subfolders for my individual albums are missing. Help

    really??
    Yes, really, I'm sorry to say.
    is there anything i can do about it??maybe create another account?
    Sorry, but there is nothing you can do about it. There's no place where you could create "another account" that would give you any greater access to media. The content owners do not allow cross-border sales, so you cannot open an account in another country's iTunes Store. So until such time as Apple is able to obtain the necessary licensing and decides that it's practical to open an iTunes Store on your country, I'm afraid that you will not be able to purchase music, videos, or movies from an iTunes Store.
    There is only one possibility for you: if what you're looking for are only podcasts, you may be able to find the podcast you want directly from a web site. Apple doesn't host the podcasts, they only link to them, so the podcast you want may be available from another source. You'll have to do a web search and see if the podcast turns up.

  • HT4914 How does the family sharing allow members to share music in iTunes Match?

    Same as title, How does the family sharing allow members to share music in iTunes Match?

    Yes, you can stream or transfer music ripped from CDs to other computers via Home Sharing.

  • HT1203 I have done everything on this list.  How do I see the shared music in iTunes?

    I have done everything on the list "to share your music with multiple user accounts on one computer" on Windows.  Now, how do I see the shared music?

    Tones is the new name for Ringtones. If the entry is missing in the left-hand column of iTunes then enable it from Edit > Preferences > General tab.
    If your existing tones are not syncing properly to your iOS device then uncheck the option to Sync Tones from the Tones tab when the device is connected, sync the device,check the option and sync again.
    A properly constituted .m4r file (<30secs AAC at 128k) thrown into the Automatically add to iTunes folder should end up getting added to the correct section of the library.

  • Can't seem to share music in iTunes 6.0

    When I was using 5.0 I was able to view other peoples' music. I'm currently using a LAN for school. and I am connected to the LAN through an airport express. originally I could share music whether I was hard wired to the wall or just through my airport express, now the only way I can view shared music is connecting directly to the wall... which might I add is a pain in the butt! any ideas as to why it suddenly doesn't work? the only thing I can think of is they updated it so I can no longer use that feature. in that case can someone please send me the installer for 5.0? because I really don't need video at this point.

    Do you have more than one Apple ID on more than one geographic iTunes Store? If so make sure you're signed into the iTunes Store that the apps were purchased from.

  • Cant see the buy button in itunes when making a ringtone???

    When I am in iTunes, making a ringtone, the bottom right portion of my iTunes screen cuts off at the button that says "Ca" - I cant see or get to the right of that button (which I assume says cancel) and I am unable to create ringtones for my iPhone. I have tried everything from resizing the window to uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling. It is always the same and very frustrating. Can anyone help?

    Try increasing your screen resolution.

    i cant see my voucher code how can u redeem the voucher?
    can any body help please?

    If you've scratched off the code and the page that you posted from doesn't help then you will need to try contacting iTunes support (you will need to give them as much of the serial number and activation code from the card as you can read) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

  • Cant share movies over itunes

    Hi, interesting situation where a wife and husband are sharing two iTunes accounts on several devices each. iMac, MacBook Air, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad and mini iPad.
    The accounts are held in different countries, 1 being in the UK and the other in the USA.
    Both the husband and wife can see each others iTunes libaries and the contents. Music is played easily over the shared devices (all of them share each others libaries) and plays perfectly. However TV Shows and Movies will not play. They will load to the movie player but will not actually play (just a blank / black screen)....
    I've trawled through the settings backwards, upwards, inside out, and back the front to no avail.... Anyone else experieced or experiencing this? Looking forward to some suggestions.
    Many thanks,
    WiFi Guy Hong Kong

    Is the movie in a supported file format?
    Any errors?

  • Can you share music between itunes accounts

    I just currently purchased an Ipad for my daughter to use at school.  I need to set her up for her own account, but in doing so she will lose all of her music when she syncs her ipod up to that account as well.  Is there a way for me to have her Ipod sync or download the music from the cloud and then have both her ipod and ipad on her own itunes account? 

    An iTunes library can hold media from multiple accounts. iPods and iPod devices are limited to protected content from up to five different accounts. Apps and movies are generally protected, most music won't be unless it was purchased quite some time ago. Ideally I'd suggest you make a clone of your library for your daughter to take with her, then see can keep what she wants, discard what she doesn't and start using her own account here on out.
    In the event that she is using the device independenly of an iTunes library see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • HT5622 can you still share music on itunes with different apple id?  My daughters and I share the same itunes account but . . noticed this is not a good idea.  Both our contacts get merged.  sometimes my pictures end up on their phone!

    Is there a way to share the itunes music with different people in your household without having to share the phone contacts?  Do I need to have a different apple id?

    It's ok to share the same AppleID for iTunes.  Use Separate ID's for iCloud, iMessage, and Facetime.
