Duplicate App Updates - Shared Library

I have my iTunes library under Users/Shared/iTunes Media for sharing with multiple users on one Mac.  Everything seems to working fine other than app updates.  I noticed under each user we each have the same amount of updates 94.  I updated them under my account and they were all updated and downloaded, but under the other users it still shows 94 updates. So I updated them under another user.  I see that they are duplicating the downloaded updates in Mobile Applications.  I am trying to find where iTunes stores it's update location so they all share the same database for the updates.  There is nothing located in Library.xml or library.itl from what I can see.
Thanks

I'm new to Apple and that stuns me.  It seems like a basic function (Microsoft has had it figured out for over a decade).  I have thousands of songs, want to play a specific 10, and have to select them one-by-one??!!!!  This makes me want to return the iPad I just bought.  Thanks for the reply.

  • Application Launch Failures after Update: shared library error

    Soon after installing the latest Security and Operating System Updates, I discovered that I could no longer run Microsoft Office. I get the following error message when attempting to open any of the components: Application Launch Failure The application "Word" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "3<Microsoft Word><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_CommonPanels>" I have tried reinstalling the updates but it hasn't helped. I can't reinstall Office because the same error message comes up when I try to open the Microsoft installer. Can anyone help? I'm stuck. Thanks.

    Again, thanks.
    It's somewhat confusing. The folder /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CommonPanels. framework
    contains 3 items, a gray screen marked Common Panels with a small arrow pointing to the lower left edge, a folder marked Versions (which holds folders marked A and Current), a folder marked Current (which has a small arrow pointing to the lower left edge and holds a gray screen marked Common Panels and a folder marked Resources) and a folder marked A (which also contains a gray screen marked Common Panels and a folder marked Resources. When I click the gray screen marked Common Panels, I get a message that there is no default application specified to open the document "CommonPanels".
    I'm not sure what all that means. Are there too many Common Panel screens? Does the small arrow have any significance? I've also discovered that, in addition to not being able to run Office, I can't install any new applications (same CarbonLib error message). If you think I need to archive and install the System, I can try to do so.

  • "Shared library error" prevents app launch

    Did the upgrade to 10.4.10 this morning, via the Software Update panel. Upon restart, attempts to launch Microsoft Word / Excel or FileMaker results in:
    Application Launch Failure
    The application "Word" could not be launched bceause of a shared library error: "2 <Microsoft Word> <CarbonLib> <CFMPriv_CarbonSound> "
    I'm out of my depth here. I've repaired permissions, but no dice. Any advice?
    (Many other apps - browsers & email, Adobe, Macromedia, Digidesign - launch fine.)

    Well, this has blown into a bit of a 'situation,' I'm afraid, mostly because I don't have my 10.4 DVD. (Seems I left it at the office when I left some months ago. They can FedEx it to me, but as they're closed Wednesday, I won't get started until Friday.) The only system disc I have is my 10.1.3 installer, and I suspect I'll open several new cans of worms if I jump that far backward.
    The G5 now won't boot at all. I can start it in FireWire target mode from the G4, and can see all the data on my hard drives. When it's turned on by itself, the panel light and the fans all look and sound the way they should, but I get to a screen that reads Mac OS X and a progress bar that never progresses – i.e. a white strip that goes nowhere.
    I also can boot the G5 into Terminal (or whatever you call it when I open with Opt + Cmd + O + F), but don't know my way around it. Didn't do anything there except remove the CD.
    A friend tried posting me a copy of his 10.4 disc 1 for me to use, but it seems the Apple folks knew we'd think of that. Whatever the technology, I can mount it but can't boot from it. (Or maybe that's Toast? I see that their help page reads, "You cannot make a bootable Mac Volume disc.")
    Repaired & Verified permissions on the G5 before it locked me out. Looking at it from the G4 confirms that it at least thinks that 10.4.10 was successfully installed; I'm now downloading the 10.4.10 combo update. (I hadn't realized until I was already typing this that I should try running it on the G5's system drive, from the G4.)
    I'm just posting this in case someone who's been willing to read this far spots some magic bullet that I'm missing.

  • Shared Library Errors after updates

  • Remote app on iPad2 not showing iTunes interface on ATV2 shared library

    I have an AppleTV 2 that's sharing an iTunes library via home sharing over Ethernet from a Mac Mini. Running Remote App on my iPhone 5S, I can control that library as expected. Running Remote App on my iPad2, however, I'm unable to see the main iTunes-like interface that lists songs, albums, artists, etc. on the shared library. While I can see the currently playing song at the top of the screen and have access to the Back, Pause, and Forward buttons, the main pane below that only shows the icons for Home Sharing and Using Gestures. Under Home Sharing, where it says "Tap the Apple TV button in the bottom left...," there's not Apple TV button, only "Devices." I can use the gestures interface in Remote App on the iPad2 to control playback, but I never see the main library interface. Any thoughts you have for remedying this would be really appreciated!

    Well the response I got to the above post was outstanding!
    Shall we put this in the bracket along with "If a tree falls in the forest with no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?"
    If anyone is wondering, for my party I ended up using my Mac as the server for the iTunes DJ. And I discovered that if more than 5-7 people try to get onto it, it crashes the whole system and the music stops. Glorious.

  • Problem with JNI (custom shared library) on App Server

    We have a custom built shared library (.so) we want to use with the app server (a webapp). The .so is wrapped with java class and works to spec when tested outside of app server (webapp) environment with test stub. When wrapper class is introduced to App Server (webapp) & embedded function is invoked we recieve java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError(). We've looked to make sure $LD_LIBRARY_PATH is correct but still recieve this exception. Any suggestions? Running nm against the .so shows undefined symbols but these should be resolved by $LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Any suggestions?

    what version of appserver are u using...if 7.0 then try using their common class loader as per this docs:

  • Updating itunes library occurs with sharing an iTunes Library

    Hi,
    I have two macs, one of the macs has the iTunes library on a hard drive connected to it, lets called it "Mac1". I have another mac called "Mac2" which I mount the hard drive from "Mac1".
    So I go about and make sure iTunes is not running on "Mac1", then go ahead and start iTunes on "Mac2". After I'm done and shutdown iTunes, if I restart iTunes on "Mac1" I get the message "updating itunes library" which takes a while since I have a large iTunes library.
    Any ideas? I'm very careful to shutdown on iTunes on one computer before starting it up on another.
    Thanks for any input, this is driving me crazy

    I think I may take your suggestion and just have separate libraries.
    you can use _*Home Sharing*_ to keep them in sync.
    also, there are 3rd party tools such as
    PowerTunes
    TuneRanger
    Syncopation
    however, a "one-iTunes-library-with-multiple-computers" approach is doable. click here for information.

  • Using the Remote App and playing iTunes from a shared Library

    I have a playlist set up in my main iTunes library on my iMac.  This is a shared library on my local network at home.  I can access and play the library remotely from my MacBook.  I want to move my MacBook outside with external speakers for a party.  I want to be able to access the shared library from the iMac inside the house from my MacBook and be able to control it with the Remote App.
    My problem is that when I use Remote and the MacBook outside (I've set up the iTunes passcode with that computer and my iPod) it will only recognize the library on that computer, even if I am logged in to the shared library and it is visible in the MacBook.  So basically, remote is doing what it is suppose to do in a normal situation, but I need it to recognize and play from the shared library.
    When I turn on home sharing on the iPod I can access all the libraries on the various macs in our house, but the music will only play out of that particular machines speakers.
    I don't have wireless speakers, so I can't think of another way to do this.  Is there?
    Thanks, Sandy

    Well, I've got it to work although not ideal. 
    1. On my main computer (iMac) I created the playlist that I want available to control at a party.
    2. I went to iTunes settings/Sharing and selected "Share selected playlists" and checked the playlist I made for a party.
    3. I Linked my iPod to MacBook (which is outside with external speakers) using the 4 digit code
    4. iPod, Home Sharing Off
    5. Select the Library on iPod
    6. Select "More" (bottom right of iPod)
    7. Select "Shared" from the list that appears
    8. Select the computer that has the shared library
    9. Select the playlist (or lists if you created others)
    This setting is allowing me to use my iPod "Remote App" to play an iTunes playlist (or the entire catalogue) from a shared library on my MacBook WITH the sound coming from my MacBook and NOT from my iMac where the original iTunes catalogue is located.
    Not sure if this is the easiest way, but it's working.

  • Apple's Videos App on iPad won't load my shared library

    Hi,
    I've been looking for an answer to this problem for ages!
    Symptoms/context:
    You have all your movies onto one big drive
    You have uncheck Preferences|Advanced|"Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library"
    (this way all titles will be linked to your big drive, not copied)
    You have drag/drop those movies from your big drive in Finder into your iTunes Movies library
    You have enabled Home Sharing (File|Home Sharing|Turn On Home Sharing)
    You have disabled the old way of sharing (Preferences|Sharing tab|Uncheck "Share my library on my local network")
    You have proudly added a very nice artwork for each of your movie so that you'll get nice thumbnails in iTunes
    by using Identify.app
    or by looking on the web for the best artwork (i.e. flickfacts.com), saving it locally, then drag/drop on your movie in iTunes (Get Info|Artwork)
    You're using Apple's Videos app to load your shared library on you iPad
    (Start Videos app,select your Shared library,wait a while,then all your thumbnails are displayed fine)
    Then as the days go by, you realize that loading your library is taking more and more time, up until that day when all **** brakes loose and you get stuck at the small round clock progress bar, and you wait and wait but no thumbnails is coming up anymore. You reset everything to no avail. What happened?!!
    Well here's what I had to do to fix that problem:
    Everything is about movie thumbnails!
    In my case I had an overhead of 0.5GB of thumbnails for 650 movies! That's an overhead alright! By overhead I mean that the sum of all my thumbnails was 500MB, so the Videos app had to load this (maybe not entirely at once but...) every time you start the app and select your shared library. This explain  why the app get slower and slower has you add new movies, thus new thumbnails/artworks.
    But this doesn't really explain why ultimately the Videos app stops loading all of a sudden!
    I realize the iTunes doesn't like:
    Movie that doesn't show the correct icon preview in Finder
    Invalid movie formats - I'll explain later
    Big thumbnails
    Read all 3 steps and don't forget the last paragraph at the end.
    Movies that doesn't show the correct icon preview in Finder
    Ultimately, I think that was the main problem of all my 3 steps
    In Finder, enable the Icon Preview:
    View|Show View Options|Check "Show Icon Preview"
    You should now be able to see you thumbnails like this in Finder:
    VALID:
    INVALID:
    But if you see any of these icons, the Videos app on the iPad might stumble a bit when loading the library
    or
    If that's the case for some of your movies, you'll have to make sure that ALL your movies have a proper thumbnail.This can be achieve:
    by using Identify.app - see (note1)
    or by looking on the web for the best artwork (i.e. flickfacts.com), saving it locally, then drag/drop on your movie in iTunes (Get Info|Artwork)
    Once the thumbnail is corrected, it should display fine in Finder and iTunes
    Invalid movie formats
    There might be some cases where even after correcting the thumbnail in step 1., this icon still remains invalid.
    If that's the case, you'll need to:
    Either delete the movie altogether and rip it again
    or reconvert it. For example with iSkySoft iMedia Converter Deluxe has a "Speed conversion" option that allows you to reconvert a 2.5GB movie in about 5 min. After the re-conversion I just had to do step 1. and all was fine, and the thumbnail would show well in Finder/iTunes.
    Big thumbnails - may be optional
    To speed up the loading of the movie library you have to reduce the size of the artwork that you insert into each of your movie's metadata:
    Get the artwork on the web (i.e. flickfacts.com) and preferably a .jpg format,and save it locally
    Open your movie file with Preview (Apple's preview app)
    Tools | Adjust Size
    Fit into: 640x480 pixels + OK
    Save As (press Option before Saving) and save it in another folder (I called my folder "Reduced to 640x480")
    Note: if you want to do this on a bunch of files at once: select all your files in Finder, right click and select Open. All you .jpgs will be opened in Preview. Then Ctrl-A to select all in Preview, then you can resize them all)
    You'll noticed that a 1.5MB artwork can easily reduced as small as 50K-200K.
    For example, I went from 500MB to 72MB for all my artworks. Much smallest overhead wouldn't you say?!
    Now comes the part you'll all love : you need to remove ALL your old big artworks for ALL your iTunes movies:
    in iTunes | Movies
    Right click on a movie|Get Info|Artwork tab|Select the artwork|Delete
    Drag/drop your newly reduced .jpg to that same window
    Click OK to save.
    You can't do that in batch, you have to do each manually like this (if anyone has a better idea, I'm all ears)
    See (note1)
    (note1) Important: If you use a program like Identify.app to retrieve the metadata/artwork, I'm pretty sure the size of the automatically retrieved artwork is quite big by default (around 1.5MB-2MB) so you might wanna be careful here and use it to retrieve the movie's metadata, but after that do step 3. to replace the artwork with a smaller one.
    VERY IMPORTANT
    Once step 1, 2 are completed (and I had already completed the optional step 3) you have to remove all movies from iTunes (see note, next sentence ) and drag/drop them all back from your drive to your iTunes Movies window. BEFORE REMOVING ALL MOVIES FROM iTUNES, make sure that the option (Preferences|Advanced|"Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library") was uncheck. If it was checked, I'm pretty sure it will delete all your movies on disk, not only in iTunes!!! - you'll have to investigate this yourselves or make sure you have a good backup copy of your movies first.
    Since I've done all this, my iPad's Videos app is taking about 10-20 sec to load my over than 600 movies library
    Pfew!!
    Have fun gang,
    Jean

    This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
    I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
    Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
    Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
    Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
    Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
    Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
    It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
    Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
    Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
    Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
    Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

  • App's are not appearing in iTunes on Shared Library

    I have Mac and had the iTunes library stored on my profile. I then moved the entire library following Apple's KBASE to the shared folder, and pointed mine and my girlfriends iTunes preferences to the shared library.
    Everything on my end seems to work just fine. But with her library, when she syncs her iPad or iPhone, none of the App's are stored in iTunes. It will say they are syncing, every time a device is connected, but the Applications tab that appears for each device is blank, as well as the Applications directory on the top left of iTunes.
    In the Directory ~Users/Shared/iTunes Music/Mobile Applications I can see all of my App's, but none of her App's appear. I have tried spotlight searching for an App name that is specific to her devices with no luck.
    I have ensured her iTunes account is authorized on her profile. All of her app purchasing has been done from the device itself, so she needs them to sync back to iTunes. I am able to go to File>Add to iTunes library, and import my Apps into her library. But even when downloading an App, directly from the iTunes store on her account, they do no appear in her iTunes Library.......I can't seem to figure out what piece of this puzzle is missing????? Any suggestions would be much appreciated
    Message was edited by: bmensing

    I solved the issue. Her profile permissions on the Mobile Applications folder for some reason was set to read only. Once I set the permissions for her user account to Read and Write, I was able to download an App and sync her devices, with the Apps syncing back to her iTunes library

  • Shared Library Error after software update

    After a software update check, I downloaded all recommendations which were the following: Java for Mac OS X 10.4 Release 5, iTunes 7.1, iPhoto Update 6.0.6, Security Update 2006-008 (PPC) 1.0, and Mac OS X Update (PPC) 10.4.9.
    But upon restarting, I get 2 popup windows entitled Application Launch Failure. The first says: The application "(null)" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "5>HP Communications><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_CarbonSound>". The second reads: The application "EEventManager" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "1<EEventManager><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_CarbonSound>". I also get one when I try to launch AOL from the desktop. It also has the string with CarbonSound in it.
    I tried reinstalling all of the updates and the Security update didn't work at all - which didn't seem to matter since it was an older version (I think??). I then reinstalled the OS update again, but this time I did the combo version. Still no luck. I looked into CarbonSound, but I haven't found anything current or relevant. Any suggestions? Thank you.

  • Duplicate Photos and iPhoto Library Sharing

    My first question is about sharing my iPhoto library.  I would like to buy a Time Capsule to back up all of my computers.  I've been told not to use that to store all of my pictures, only to use it for backups. I wish there were an easy way to share my iPhoto library between users on the same computer, and combine libraries between computures.  If you know of any easy solution to this please let me know.  Most of my pictures are on my iMac with one account.  My macbook pro has two accounts set up.  I'd like to be able to put them all in the same place, or at least select many to have in just one account for all users to access. Is there an easy way to do that? Could I connect a USB hard drive to my Time Capsule soly for iPhoto? My other question is, when I put pictures in my account iPhoto, and then put the same pictures into my wife's account on the same computer (because she'd like to see them also,edit them ect.) am I using twice as much space on my hard drive?

    I wish there were an easy way to share my iPhoto library between users on the same computer,
    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.
    and combine libraries between computures.
    You can merge Libraries with the paid version ($20) of iPhoto Library Manager
    Could I connect a USB hard drive to my Time Capsule soly for iPhoto?
    Yes... but.
    Would this be a wired or wireless connection to the Library? WIred is fine. Wireless is fine for viewing.
    However:  A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.
    when I put pictures in my account iPhoto, and then put the same pictures into my wife's account on the same computer (because she'd like to see them also,edit them ect.) am I using twice as much space on my hard drive?
    Yes.
