Computer sleeps when iTune library is shared

Hello:
Running a G5 and PowerBook on Airport Extreme Wireless network.
I use the G5 to make all my iTunes Store purchases and often like to share the library with the PowerBook so I can listen to tunes in the other room.
The G5, however, will go to sleep even though the music library is shared. While I want the G5 to go to sleep whenever possible, I would consider library sharing one of those times NOT to sleep. I don't want to change the sleep schedule on the G5, simply prevent it from sleeping when it knows a library is being shared.
Is there a way around this? I have searched the forums for an answer.
Thanks,
Mr. B.

Manage the settings in the Music tab of the device menu in iTunes and check the box for Sync Music and select the music you want transferred
Hope that helps

please help me on this, what happened was that i connected my ipad to the computer and the itunes library was empty although a week ago i had 48 apps on the itunes library

see my main ques was that i have an ipad 2 in which i have 48 apps and i hv made an itunes account in my computer in which i can backup my purchased apps and i had backed up36 of them so that i can delete them from my ipad if the memory is full but recently when i opened my itunes account in the computer it tells that you dont have any app on this account whereas on my ipad i still do have them, so cant i get all my backed up apps on the itunes account on my computer again?

Unfortunately I have deleted my entire itunes library and back up from my computer, is there any way I can copy my ipod nano back onto my computer into the itunes library? and re-download all the tunes I have purchased from I tunes.

Hello bigali,
Your options are kinda limited. I would use this first:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and ...
Then check here for the non-purchased items:

You want to rebuild the library first, then sync the ipod.
Here is a good idea for when your done:

Removing computer file from ITunes Library

I accidentally added a folder on my computer to my ITunes Library in error. I can't seem to find where I'd go to "de-select" it. Every time I try to sync my IPod, it looks in that folder and locks up because it can not upload the file inside the folder . Can anyone help? Oh yeah, my computer is Windows Vista.
Cheers,
Mike

Find the track in iTunes. Right-click, Show in Explorer, and delete the file. Back in iTunes, highlight the track and hold Shift while you press the Delete key.

It's no longer possible to add music from my computer to my iTunes library, It's no longer possible to add music from my computer to my iTunes library

Problem: I can't add any music from my computer to my itunes library anymore!
Hey there!
As I explained above, I can't add any music from my computer to my itunes mediacentre since one week. There is no error indication or any other message in which it is mentioned that the music I tried to add has not been added. It is just not in my library.
Even if I delete some music it is not possible to add music.
I just downloaded the new itunes in hope that the problem would be solved, but there is no change.
Perhaps you can help me!
That would be great!
Thanks..

Ok so you are saying that if I had photos stored there, I would have had an account. By the fact the site said it cannot create one, means I could not have photos there. That is how you can say with certainty that people in that position have no photos stored. It's that correct? If so, thank you for the clarification.
Also I originally sent this answer as a reply to your email above, but it came back as:

even tho it said in the email that I could reply or post a response. Just wanted you to know.

I plugged my iPod touch (4th generation) into my computer and when iTunes popped up, there was a notice that read "The iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". What does this mean and what do I do?

I cannot add music from my computer onto my itunes library.

I cannot add music from my computer onto my itunes library. I have tried dragging the songs, importing them, going to Add files and Add folders, copy and pasting. They just won't turn up in my itunes library.

You don't say where you are having problems. The best answer will depend upon what exactly you are trying to do. If you are trying to add one or two files, copy them to a flash drive, then drag them from the drive to an iTunes playlist. If you are trying to move your whole library that requires a different answer.
Note .wma files will work with iTunes on a PC but cannot be added to a Mac iTunes. Convert them to another format on the PC first (but I don't think you can do that if they are protected format).

I have a new computer but my itunes library has none of my playlists and no songs that i've downloaded from cds. Why?

Because putting them onto the computer is a separate process.

ITunes library Home Sharing when original computer dead

Hi, my original iTunes library is on my old HP Laptop. When I want to access my iTunes library from my MacBook Air (through Home Sharing) I need to have iTunes open on my HP or iTunes on my MacBook won't find/recognise my library; however my old laptop is about to die so how do I access my iTunes library once this computer is dead (recently had the HP in for fixing and therefore couldn't access iTunes library). Can my MacBook access my iTunes library in the smae way as my iPhone 5 does i.e. not through Home Sharing?

OK thanks, I've been trying to use my iphone to transfer purchases but i keep getting the error message that this computer is not authorized to play these songs although i have authorized it. ive even deauathorized and reauthorized with no luck

Prevent computer sleep when Apple TV is streaming from iTunes ...

Hi,
Is it possible to prevent my computer from going to sleep when my Apple TV is streaming from my iTunes library ? I was told that I can watch a port to see if there is data streaming through it.
What is the port used for this ?
Regards.

Hi Chris,
My computer does not go to sleep in response to the system preferences's setup. It has always been like that since I bought my iMac. I have submitted this problem to this forum many times and was never able to find a clue.
I don't have any other problem with my iMac and it works great. I also didn't want to go through a full reinstall. In order to get it to sleep, I wrote a little handler script that monitors my computer's activity. It looks at specific apps or processes and monitors their activity. If none of these apps or processes have been active for a specified amount of time, the script forces my computer to sleep.
When streaming is pushed from iTunes to my Apple TV, iTunes is then acting as a server. I can see if it is using CPU. I monitor it's activity and put it to sleep when the delay is expired. When streaming is pulled from my Apple TV, iTunes does not use my CPU and I don't know how to monitor this specific «pulled streaming». I hope that this better explains what I am trying to do.
Thanks in advance.

OneNote prevents my computer from going to sleep when I have a shared notebook open. Suggestions?

Hello,
The issue is that my computer will not go to sleep if I have OneNote opened with my shared notebook loaded.
Background: I'm currently running Windows 8 Pro on a desktop machine with Office 2010 Home and Student installed. I log into the OS under my outlook.com internet account. OneNote, which I always keep open, has my main
notebook shared on my SkyDrive.
Scenarios: The computer will go to sleep if I reboot the machine and do not open OneNote. The computer will go to sleep if I close my shared notebook, reboot the machine and open OneNote (with no notebooks open). The computer will go to sleep if I open
OneNote with my shared notebook, close it, AND exit OneNote from the icon in the system tray.
The scenarios I ran lead me to believe that OneNote is continuously polling my shared online notebook, thus preventing my computer from going to sleep. The is a regression from the behavior in Windows 7. Are there any configuration changes I can make to
fix this?
Thanks.

Try modify the settings under:
Control Panel --> Power Options --> Multimedia settings --> When sharing media to Allow the computer to sleep

How do I sync my itunes library on one computer with my itunes library on another?

I have bought music from iTunes on my home computer. When I open iTunes on my laptop, it has my entire library there shown, but I can only sync songs that I have bought from my laptop's itunes even though it shows my entire music library there. Any idea on how to sync up one itunes with another even if they are on the same account?

You can only sync music and videos for an iTunes library other than the one you synced with normally if y use the manual method of syncing

Iphone and ipod losing sync with shared itunes library - home sharing not working

I hope this can help some people who have had problems with syncing their IOS devices to their shared itunes library.
Having had a lot of trouble with syncing and sharing my itunes libraries from two PC's to an iphone 4 and 4S via "itunes home sharing", I decided to try and find a solution using typical search engine search phrases. I found a number of issues similar to mine that pointed toward local network protocols such as media serving, and the ability or lack of ability to use these protocols by DSL routers.
My solution was simple, change the DSL router. My ISP supplied DSL router was the problem, not being able to identify that the PC's hosting my itunes libraries become media servers when itunes home sharing is switched on. My DSL box is a Tesco Broadband branded/firmware Thomson TG580. As a test I tried out a box from my previous supplier, an O2 branded/firmware Thomson/Technicolor TG582n. Although this wont work with my ISP connection, it will work as a wirless/wired router. As soon as I connected this all together, it worked first time without any hassle. I was mirroring my shared HD videos via the itunes home shared library to my 4S perfectly.
I know this may not help most people, but if you have the chance to test another wireless router, give it a go. Having had a good look, I can't find an Apple compatibility list. Maybe this is something they could do, or maybe someone can point out a site that may have this info?
I am by no means an Apple Fanboy, but I have to say that a lot of the complaints about the home sharing between itunes, ipods, iphones, Apple TV etc. may simply be the router and not itunes or the IOS devices.
My setup is PC's running the latest itunes with Win 7 32 & 64 bit and my IOS devices on 6, I also tested an iphone 4 on IOS 5 that worked perfectly. My 4S is now a perfect HDMI media player/streamer for my itunes music and videos encoded to H.264 using Handbrake.

Assuimg you have the latest ATV firmware, at the bottom of the general settings menu on your apple TV there is an option to reset your apple TV. Try that and then reset it up back on your network.
Before testing ensure the correct time/date/nearest City is setup in the ATV settings and re-enter your apple ID/password and turn on home sharing. You can connect to your network either via wifi or cable and see if it then works.
Resetting the ATV and then checking and re-entering all my settings worked for me.
I guess if not, then the next step is to disable any firewall on your PC and see if that works after the PC is rebooted.
Hope this helps.

Can't get the new computer to recognize iTunes Library

Dear All,
I've made progress in that I "organized" all my music into an iTunes library on an external hard drive, connected that hard drive to the new computer, authorized the new computer, and pointed it to the f:\itunes\itunes music directory on that external hard drive in the preferences. But itunes on the new computer isn't "pulling in" all the music. Instead, it found a few mp3 files on the new computer and it's going with that.
Given it's vast size, I'd prefer to keep my itunes library on that external hard drive.
Why can't I get iTunes to go with the library on the external hard drive?
Thanks!
Jeff

Dear Turing,
If you live anywhere near the Chicago area I'd love to buy you a beer for all your excellent help!
What screwed me up was, when I moved the old computer's iTunes library to the external drive, all I had to do was tell iTunes point to it because it was the same library as before. However, to the new computer, it's a completely different library requiring the steps you so eloquently outlined for iTunes to see it. But there is one more thing I don't understand.
Per our previous discussion, I "organized" and "consolidated" the old iTunes library on the external drive (after removing quite a few folders to make it fit!) to solve the separate ITunes and Amazon music folders issue. Then, once you helped me out and I got the new computer to look at the library on the external drive, it still has a problem with the 6,000+ pieces of Amazon music. ITunes says it wants to "see" the original files.
I'm copying that folder to the drive right now, but I though consolidating the library would mitigate the need for iTunes to have access to the original files. Am I stuck with my two folder system forever?
Thank you so much!
Jeff
