Computers not showing on home share

I currently have 3 computers all on the same home share network. Two MacBook pros and a desktop pc. One MacBook shows each of the other computers. The other two computers only show the first MacBook and not each other.
I am at a loss for how to make all computers see one another. Any ideas?
Thanks!

1. Try turn Off Home sharing one at a time and turn it back On again.
2. If it doesn't help, switch internet security Off and do step 1 again.
3. If you still have Sharing problem, see links below

IPad & iPhone not showing correct Home Share (Apple TV is!)

I have setup Home Sharing in iTunes and have enable it across iPad & iPhone and they are both using the correct Apple ID
The problem I have is that my Movies and TV Shows that I have recently added are not showing up on the Home Share on iPad or iPhone.
The Home Share is setup for Apple TV and everthing is fine.
I have:
Disabled Home Share and re-enabled it
Restarted iTunes several times.
I have deleted one file that was visable on iPad and that now no longer appears - So there is a connection but I'm not sure where the iPad is looking?
On iPad I have two different TV Shows displayed but multipe copies of them are showing: See image: When
Eg, Series 1 Episode 1-10 are showing 5 times if not more
I have now reset my iPad and the issue still exists.
Any idea's appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
sure i can. The automatic correction is an enemie to me.
My last sentence based on the menu from iTunes->File->Library->Oraganize Library.
More Details:
1. Make a screenshot from your iPhone or iPad with the duplicates
2. Click in iTunes on your pc in the tv shows section an choose the duplicate tv shows.
3. Right click-> Show in finder
4. Copy the file to an external hard drive
5. Delete the entry in iTunes
Repeat that with all duplicated tv shows
6. Choose in the menu file-library-organize library.
7. Close iTunes and reopening it
8. Check on your iPhone or iPad if u have some duplicated shows.
9. Copy the removed tv shows back in the library. But only one by one
10. Testing after ever tv show if the are duplicated.
That's all.
Hope it works for you.
Best wishes

My computer is not showing up in share monitor

Hi
I was happily creating and sharing files to Vimeo from Final Cut Pro x - When I had a kernal panic - Hard reset and now "My Computer" does not show up in share monitor - It says no clusters found - When I goto share a file to vimeo now nothing happens ..
Any clues - I am going mad....

There is nothing to fix, it is not supposed to show up there. It will only show there as a 'camera' if there are photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc which you might want to then copy to your comptuer.
What do you want to do with the iPad via My Computer ?

Follow the prompts for setting up your iPad with iTunes on your PC.

Connect the charger and let it charge for at least 30 minutes before you try to turn it on. Then let it charge untill full. The iPhone (or iPad) need at least a little charge before you can turn it on.

Apps Not Showing in Home Sharing

So I have two computers on the same network, both with home sharing on, both authorized to use the other's iTunes account. When I got to use home sharing, everything shows up EXCEPT for Apps. This isn't the case of "Did you click the triangle?", everything is showing up fine except Apps. I have 9 apps on one laptop, and 97 on another, so this isn't a matter of not having Apps in the library to share.
Do I have to set up something specific to share Apps? Is this an iTunes bug?

Is it the same apps or do they change? If it the same ones - it may be a developer issue
Do you know if an app that is not showing in the notification center of your phone shows up on someone else's iphone notification center?

Apple TV Purchases Backed Up In Itunes But Will Not Show In Home Sharing On Ipad

This problem is bizzare.
Basically I have had Apple TV for a while but really only made some purchases from the interface on the TV the other day. (Besides Rentals)
Normally I buy the movie directly on my macbook and download it. Then go watch it on my Apple TV.
This time I bought on Apple TV then went to Itunes and downloaded it off the cloud. Any movie I have purchased from the Apple TV will not show up on Home Sharing (Sharing from my Macbook to my Ipad2) Even though it was purchased with the same apple id and the movies are physically downloaded to itunes on the macbook.
If I pull up Sidebar in Itunes 11 and click itunes store and then purchases my movies show up. (That's how I downloaded them to itunes) Although, if I click "purchased" from the Sidebar (Under Itunes Store) the movies purchased from the Apple TV do not show up. It's almost like Apple Tv let me back them up but did not associate them with the itunes account.

I agree with what you're saying. I just bought Skyfall through my Apple TV because it would allow me to download 1080p (my PC wouldn't) and I specifically recall it saying that this media would be sharable...yet when I'm on my iPad Mini it doesn't show up in Videos > Shared along with all my other non-Apple purchases. This doesn't seem right.
I tried copying the m4v file to my desktop, renaming it and tried to then import it back into my iTunes library but it didn't do any action. It must recognize the DRM protection.
I realize now that using my iPad going to iTunes > Purchased I only have the option to download from the cloud, and not to home share it from my PC. I agree that filling up my HD space on my device is not a reasonable solution.
I see it listed in iTunes on my PC and I right-clicked and selected "download 1080p". Now I have the movie file sitting on my hard drive but I still have the same condition.
When I checked "Get Info" it shows up as a "Protected MPEG-4 Video File. I wonder if this has something to do with it. Frankly I find the whole purchase/library system very confusing. I never am sure which device to purchase it with or how it will be sharable. Very frustrating. It should be much simpler across all iOS devices. I think DRM issue have a lot to do with the problem.

I need help troubleshooting computers not showing up on network

seriously, everything was fine until xmas eve. Now I can't see the computers on the network on a mac or a pc.
Now, when I go to Start/My Network places on a pc the share points do not show up.
Also when I go View Workgroup Computers - it returns an error. In the error it mentions permissions. I've propogated permission, restarted SMB services and restarted twice.
OSX 10.5.1, Xserve, standalone server, SMB services are running, one username and password for everyone with r/w permission, even guests access is turned on, ...
AT&T Netopia dsl modem (bridged mode), Linksys wireless router with ip's assigned to all computers, to a switch that routes to users and two more switches.
note - I can see a few macs on Mac OSX Tiger and Leopard but nothing on the pc's. I can, however, see a unix sever that's on the network by typing \\ServerName in an explore address bar. And at one time I could type in \\Xserve on both macs and pc's but no longer.
Thanks,
ctrent

Any relationship to what works and what doesn't?
no
Could there be a bad cable or bad switch port?
I've thought about that - checked and rechecked
Do you know how to see if there are two momputers with the same ip connected to a network?
Tried swapping a working and a non-working box to see if it's the connection that's stuffed?
no
but I just did
I tested an imac using the same connection. It was able to browse the entire network.
I noticed that MacBookPro had tld-internal.com in the Search Domains entry box.
I entered TLDMacserver.com as the search domain and was able to browse the server share points and read and write. (hoorah!)
I think that this is where the problem is - Is there a domain that needs to be set up or is already setup? I don't know of a setting on pc's to Search Domains - is this just a mac thing?
Now, seeing the other computers is the issue. I can only browse 4 macs and the Xserver on a mac but nothing on the pc's.
Is there something in the Advanced TCP/IP Settings that I should know about?
My server name on the left panel in Server Admin is TLDMacserver-com.local.
Under Settings/Network the computer name is TLDMacserver-com
Computer Name - TLDMacserver.com
Local Hostname TELDMacserver-com
Network Interfaces: Ethernet 1
IPv4
192.168.0.32
DNS Name: TLDMacserver-com.local
Anything interesting in the SMB-related server log files on the Mac OS X Server box?I'm not really sure what to look for.
That's one of those cases where digging through the logs looks for oddities.
I would probably have as much luck digging for gold.
Also, probably related to my problem - my logmein.com remote conrol no longer works. I tried deleting the machine from my list and reinstalling Logmein on the server, but it won't install.
It says:
Istaller is damged
Installer is unable to open the package.
This is likely due to install framework's runner executable not having he proper ownersip &/or persmissions.
Definitely seems that something got stomped on. Mayhap the disk?
What's the state of your data archives?
for those machines that can browse it's working fine.
Your backups current?
yes. A firewire drive that's swapped out. They both are backing up right.
Next step would be to boot the installer DVD and verify the disk and verify the disk protections.
it's just a download file from LogMeIn.com
As soon as it downloads that error pops up and when I manually try to run the .pkg the error occurs.
Up until now I've been able to log in just fine from anywhere.

Purchased film on iPad but its not showing on Home sharing after downloading to iTunes?

Hi all, I have recently purchasd Men In Black from itunes using my iPad 2 and downloaded it to my Mac. However when i went to watch it on Apple TV 2 its no where to be seen. I've checked the movie folder and its there above Men In Black 2, its still on my iPad and plays ok and it also plays ok on my Mac. What I don't understand is:
1. Why can't I see the film on Apple TV 2 despite it being in the same folder as my other movies?
2. Why doesn't the film show up when i plug my iPhone 4 in to put it on there?
3. The film doesn't show up on my iPad 2 when plugged into iTunes either even though its already on the device?
The only difference I can see is that the file is .ite and not .m4v , but then wheres the file i downloaded to my ipad or have I just wasted my money on a film with limtied sharing on my own account?
Cheers

Hi OP
Did this sort your problem? I have the same one too. Purchased tracks on my iPad not showing up on MBP or iPhone. Itunes wants to charge me for it againa dn again!
Anyone?

Sharing Files Over Network and computers not showing up in sidebar

I am trying to figure out how to share files over the network. Now when I click onto the computer in my shared items, I do not get access to the home folder that I used to see. Instead, I am getting a folder image with the user name below it, but it says Sharepoint. However, when I click on the folder I get another folder that says dropbox with a down arrow. However, when I click on that it says it cannot be opened because I do not have privileges.
What happened to being able to being able to get access to the home folder from the users on the computer that you are trying to retrieve files from.
Are there settings I need to adjust to allow me to get access to the files on the other computer.
The other computer is an iMac G5.
My next issue is that my wife's iBook G4 doesn't even show up in the shared items in the sidebar.
Again, are there settings on this computer that have to be adjusted.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Henry, and a warm welcome to the forums!
While you may get help or a solution here, It's quite acceptable to start a new topic of your own, certainly feel free to start a new topic to attract more helpers to your particular situation, here's a link if as is often the case, it's hard to find out where to do it...

It asks me to loggin I dont remember ever setting a login and password for it.
You need to add a User to the PC, or try with the PC's username & PC's Password.
My Main Problem is that my PC can see my Macbook...
On the Mac, did you enable Windows Sharing in System Preferences>Sharing>Services ?
I want to be able to use my printer that is hooked up to my Windows 7 PC with my Macbook
That has to be set first on the PC.

Files not showing on windows shares

Hello.
I have a windows XP desktop machine and an OS X Tiger macbook.
I've enabled sharing on a folder on the Windows XP machine and can access the folder, but certain folders show as empty, when they are most definitely not.
This share works just fine with a Linux box and with other windows XP machines.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance,
Lior Cohen.

I had similar problems. I could always mount the directory but couldn't see any of the files. I finally tracked the problem down to the user name I was using to login from the Mac being in a different XP security group than I had assumed. Once I changed the group membership, it worked as it should.
The solution took awhile to find because my XP laptop is also used on my work LAN and therefore uses "professional" sharing not "simple" sharing. Professional sharing is much more complicated to troubleshoot. You have professional sharing on your XP machine if you see a "permissions" button on the share tab when you click properties on the file/directory.
Here a two good links that might help.
If you have professional sharing:

If you have simple sharing:

Good luck. My apologies if this is too basic for you but I've been working with computers since the early 1970's and still find networking a pain to configure.

Import button not showing for home sharing

We have home sharing turned on. I have made sure all computers have home sharing turned on. I've downloaded the most recent versions of iTunes to all computers. I've turned home sharing off and on as indicated through "help". My iTunes will show the other Library, however, the import button is not visible and there also used to be a button that would show only what was not in my library, which is gone as well. Also, in "help" is says you can drag songs from one library into yours. Also, not working.
Surely, someone else has experienced this problem. How do you fix it???

Are you sure you are using Home Sharing and not Sharing.

Video is not working in home share, music is!

I have a pretty new macbook pro running snow leopard with itunes 10, connected to an airport extreme and a windows machine running xp connected to the same airport using wireless g. It runs itunes 9.
Sometimes I want to stream from my mac to my pc so I turned home sharing on and did the whole authorize thing, music works but tv shows do not, they show up just fine BUT when you double click they do nothing. XP does have quicktime installed also.
This occurred the same way on the old pc I had but I thought it might just be too slow for it but same thing now (the pc is over 2GHz)
Everything find online does not seem to help this, it is always how to set it up or it is not working at all. Like I said music streams just fine and videos (tv shows and movies) show up just fine in the list but double clicking does nothing, it thinks about it for a second and then nothing.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
