Consolidation of Remote Library but can't see files

I have followed the procedure to create a remote library on an external drive. I have consolidated the remote library and all the songs and videos have been copied there. I have check the drive and they are there but when I turn on itunes and change the library location to remote I don't see them. What am I doing wrong?

I can see the Windows PC, but I cant see the drive.
So I only can do a 'Get info' on the PC and it says 'PC server'

  • Can see contents of remote disk, but can't see it's contents

    Hi community.
    My configuration: MBA 13" (late 2010) and a Win7 computer with a DVD drive. Done everything as described in this note: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1777
    On MBA, I see the entry "Remote disk" on the sidebar, i see my Win7 PC in the list.
    But when I expand it, the contents are empty (a dvd is inside and I can see it both by file sharing and by RDP on Windows)
    What do I do wrong? Tx in advance

  • Cifs - need to connect to share server (can see folders but can't see files)

    This is driving me nuts...
    CASE ONE:
    before the upgrade, i could view folders and files on the shareserver (at a company). but after the upgrade, things went downhill...
    we can no longer use "smb://ServerName" so we are forced to use "cifs://ServerName". Fine, fine. but i can only see folders...not files.
    ive looked everywhere on the internets for a solution but find nerdy, tech lingo. I found only one that had the solution, but they simply said "nevermind, i found the solution...".. jesh,,, at least leave a solution for us....
    does someone have a work-around or a solution to this bug?
    CASE TWO:
    Dealing with Outlook 2011 and sharing caledars using the Exchange, i can see my co-workers email and statuses...but i can no longer see their schedules/availability.
    does anyone have a solution to this???
    Rule #1: do not say "its an Outlook issue" cause they already told me to ask you.
    Rule #2: do not say "you are posting in the wrong place". just help, for Pete's sake...
    Rule#3: do not say "$**%()*$ and preliminary connection hub 5583HHFer, BS...." we dont need nerdy lingo...we need help...
    others including myself would very much appreciate your help in the above 2 matters.

  • I have home sharing on but can't see my library on the computers icon. iTunes does display my purchased tunes but not my own imports.

    I have home sharing on in iTunes but can't see my library when I use the computers icon on Apple TV. iTunes does display my purchased tunes but not my own imports.
    I can play my own tunes by selecting them on my iMAC and directing them to Apple TV. I think that I should be able to see my entire library on Apple TV shouldn't I?
    Am up-to-date with iTunes and using Mavericks OS. I am connecting to Apple TV with an Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-FI and a brand new Apple TV.
    Thanks for any comments,
    Roger

    Okay, so HomeSharing is not working.  Most likely due to a network issue.
    Is the ATV and computer running iTunes actually on the same network?  Many new routers create seperate networks for the wired and wireless portions of the local network.

  • I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6

    I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them only as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6

    Did you import the old iPhoto library into the new one? That's not what you want to do because you will import all of the original, modified and thumbnail files as if they were original files. Lots of duplicates and useless small photos.
    Do you have a backup copy of the library that you imported into to?  If you do then bring it in and then use  iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two libraries into a new, 3rd library.
    If you don't then you'll have to try to fix the current one and then cull out the duplicates and small useless photos as follows:  make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
    Fix #1
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #3
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    If this doesn't fix the problem you'll have to start over from scratch and create a new library from the files inside the Originals folder of your current library.  But first you should cull out the small photos that would be the thumbnails from the 2001 library.
    Move the Originals folder to the Desktop, open and do a search for Kind=photo, File size is less than 10 KB.  That should find all of the thumbnail files which you can then drag to the Trash.  You might have to make that less than 50 KB. Then Import the remaining photos into a new iPhoto library.

  • I have just downloaded itunes 10.6 and  in the process my "podcast" option under library has disappeared! The files are still on my laptop. I can also see some of my recorded music in my itunes library but can play them - there is an exclamation mark next

    I have just downloaded itunes 10.6 and in the process my "podcast" option under library has disappeared! THe files are still on my laptop. I can also see some of my recorded music in the itunes library but can't play them - there is an exclamation mark next to each track. Basically I can't use itunes - is the only option remove and replace? Thanks in advance

    Visibility of the Podcasts section is controlled from within the Edit > Preferences dialog.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    Missing tracks
    Typically this can happen because a file or folder is accidentally shunted to the wrong location. iTunes can also get confused if it expects to be talking to an external drive which isn't there. If will often reset the default media folder location and may have trouble finding files in the old folders.
    Select one of your tracks that is missing in action. Press CTRL-I to Get Info. Cancel when asked to try to locate the file, then look at the location given on the summary tab. This where iTunes thinks the file ought to be? Now find out where it actually is. Post back the two locations for comparison. I should be able to give you some steps to reconnect everything once I can determine which of the things that might have gone wrong is most likely in your case.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Apple TV can see library, but can not reach content after adding Roksbox on a Roku in another room.

    I have my iTunes library on a power mag g5 running leopard. I have an Apple TV I have been using to access the content. I have since added an older Roku in a different room. I installed an app called Rokbox on the Roku that is able to stream content over the network. I had to start the web server and create soft links to the music and movie directories where the iTunes content resides. Now the Apple TV can see the library on the network but can not see the content. Please help.

    Hi All,
    Same issue here. Just upgraded (?) from the previous version of Apple TV, to the new Apple TV2. Like others here, my main problems seem to be with unreliable streaming from iTunes 10 on my PowerMac (Quad G5, Leopard OSX).
    My original AppleTV had no issues w/the wireless network, or synching w/my PowerMac.
    The network connection from the ATV2 are fine, and have no issues accessing the Apple Store (for movies, TV shows), or accessing Netflix. The access to the internet from my ATV2 is quite robust.
    My problems are with keeping a constant, reliable wireless connection to my PowerMac, via an Airport Extreme wireless router.
    I have tried multiple restarts, reboots, reset ATV2 to original settings, tried different wireless channels on the Airport Extreme, verified I have Home Sharing properly enabled in iTunes,etc, but no luck so far.
    What I'm seeing is when I access my iTunes on my computer, I can see my library, and then if I start to "shuffle songs" I may get 1 to 3 songs to play fine, but then the music stops, and I can no longer access the music/movies/etc in iTunes any longer. When I then go to my PowerMac, it has lost most bars of signal strength on the wireless network (although all other devices show strong signal strength), and I have to Turn AirPort Off, then Turn AirPort On and I then am reconnected to the wireless network with good signal.
    I then go back to the ATV2, connect to my iTunes, start my music, and then 1-2 songs later it again stops playing, and I go through this all over again.
    It seems as though there is something on the wireless network between the ATV2 and my PowerMac that causes it to lose connection, and I have to manually start again. The problem is that the connection is not robust, and only lasts a few minutes.
    Hope this gets solved soon.
    Regards
    Tom

  • Shapes are already on Ai CC Library but can't drag them to the canvas, why?

    I created some images on Adobe Shape and saved them for Illustrator CC; I can see them on the Ai Library but can't drag them to the canvas. If I double-click on one thumbnail this message appears: This item isn’t directly editable in Illustrator, but it can be placed in a document. To place the item, drag it into an open document.
    - I thought that it CAN be editable in Ai.
    - Drag doesn't happen.
    Can you please tell me what to do?
    Thanks.

    Hello sarahginax,
    You may need to enable 'manual mode' in the iPhone, then drag these songs to the iPhone. At that point you should be able to remove the songs as desired.

  • I purchased a new MacBook Pro and when transferring files iphoto did not transfer.  I have a question mark in the place of the icon.  My pictures are in library but can't properly access iphoto.  Thank you

    I purchased a new MacBook Pro and when transferring files iphoto did not transfer.  I have a question mark in the place of the icon.  My pictures are in library but can't properly access iphoto.  Thank you

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

  • Can't See Files On Remote Server

    Wondering if anyone has a fix for not seeing files
    on remote server... It's even got my host stumped. I have a fairly
    large static site which I CAN SEE files via my host's "File
    Manager" 90 Folders 3090 Files 52,336.74KB
    But I cannot see files and folders when connected FTP via
    IPSwitch or Dreamweaver 8.
    I have followed IPSwitch's troubleshooting steps for this
    issue, with no resolve. Emailed them a week ago, still no reply.
    I have other sites at the same host (sub-domains of the site
    I cannot see), and thoise subdomain sites files and folders show up
    fine. With the primary site, even though I cannot "see" the files
    and folders, I can still ftp to and from the server (get & put)
    from DW or IPSwitch...

    No... I am looking at the correct folders, etc. The host is a
    commercial host for Fortune 500's, I fairly confident in their
    abilities. They think it might have something to do with long file
    names. There is one clue, in that at one time I could view the
    files and folders. Since that time it is possible I added a page
    with a file name that is too long and is causing the issue. I will
    probbaly need to temporarily delete these long file name pages to
    see if it's the issue or not. I just thought someone here may have
    experienced this. Not being able to view files and folders (even
    though you can connect and transfer okay) is a pretty common
    troubleshooting topic at the FTP software companies.

  • Apple TV can air play content from my home library but can't connect to share?

    I unwrapped the present, set it up, updated and start playing with it. I have a home library on Windows xp using iTunes 11. I can AirPlay from that library to Apple TV but can't see Apple TV in devices or see my library from Apple TV in shares. Anyone has any suggestions?

    That's normal. You can't see Apple TV as a network device on PC.
    You can only see your pcs iTunes library on Apple TV but your PC doesn't see Apple TV as a device.

    You can't view your back up files at icloud.com.
    You can't view your camera roll and you can't view your Photo Stream files at icloud.com.
    The icloud back up plan allows you to "restore" your iOS device from the files you backed up at icloud.com.

    I am trying to delete pages I have crated in numbers, but can only see them in print preview. Without print preview I do not see them. How can I delete these pages, but keep others before and after?

    Hi Crushed,
    Numbers doesn't have pages. It has a canvas that holds objects such as tables and charts.
    Drag the objects from the bottom of the canvas onto the white space above. That will reduce the number of "pages" (sheets of paper) that will print.

    When I have video clips on my timeline, they do not play in the monitor screen. I hear the sound track but can not see the image. To test if my new files are somehow the problem, I went back and used video files that I used successfully a year ago, and they no longer play in the monitor window. I hear the sound track, but do not see any video. Have I changed some setting that controls video playback in the monitor window?

    Thanks for the follow up.
    Missing in this equation were the version of Premiere Elements that you were using and the computer operating system on which it was running. But...
    The deed is done. But.....Until now and after you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what version of Premiere Elements you were using. We still do not know the computer operating system involved.
    You just said Premiere Elements 10. Premiere Elements 10 is hit by a serious known display issue if the computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card. In this issue, the only remedy is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. The description of the problem and how to do the roll back are described in one of the Announcements at the top of this forum. What video card/graphics card does your computer use?
    On another front, Adobe will be releasing a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. No one but Adobe knows the feature set for the new version. That type of information is announced at the moment of release of the new version.
    So the remedy to the problem that you presented in this thread could have been...
    1. Rolling back the NVIDIA GeForce driver version to about May 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, may not be possible)
    2. Move to another version of Premiere Elements (which you did)
    I offer the above for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that Premiere Elements 12/12.1 works for you.
    Please do not hesitate to ask questions and ask for clarifications, but remember that the answers are in the details.
    Best wishes,
    ATR
