Error when attempting to play shared iTunes library

I have two iTunes Shared libraries on my network, coming from seperate machines. I am using a Mac Mini as a media server.
Both of my shared libraries show up on the list. When I attempt to view one of the libraries I get the following error message...
"iTunes is not responding. Press the Play/Pause button to return to the desktop"
Please note that one of the libraries (the much larger one) plays fine via the share.
Any ideas?

Do the shared libraries have passwords? If they do, then try leaving iTunes open when you go to Front Row with the library you want to use selected with password entered as if you were going to listen to it directly from iTunes.

  • AirPlay error 15006 when attempting to play from iTunes

    I am using a 2011 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.7.4 an iTunes 10.6.1.
    My wireless network consists of a Xfinity/Arris TG852G/CT modem/router and a AirPort Express (firmware v 7.6.1).  I have firewall turned off on the router and on my Mac.
    Whenever I attempt to play via AirTunes from my iTunes on my MacBook Pro I get the following error message:
    An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “AirPort Express”.
    The strange thing is that I am able play music via AirPlay from my iPad or iPhone with no issues. 
    I've tried resetting the AirPort Express multiple times and rebooting everything (Mac, Router, AirPort Express).  Still this issue persists.  (I have also tried using different AirPort Express, same results).
    Any suggestions?

    Doesn't work for me, still get this and then everything you described:
    Never get Orange home broadband is my advice!

    i just fixed this for my setup
    I am running macOSX 10.8.2
    my airport utility is 6.1
    I have an Airport extreme connected through ethernet to my modem
    i then have my aiport express downstairs bridged to my extreme through wifi
    first go to your airport utilitie's "internet" tab
    Then click advanced
    I just set both of my airport devices to "configure IPV6 Automatically"
    with the IPV6 mode of "Native"
    Make sure they are both set up this way
    thats it, it works now
    Good luck

  • Error when adding some albums to iTunes library

    I get the following error message in iTunes:
    "iTunes could not save to your Music Folder because you do not have write access. Check the permissions on your music folder and folders in your music folder, then try copying this file again"
    Background:
    - My Music Folder is on an external hard drive.
    - The problem appeared after I conducted a fresh install of Mac OS X 10.5
    The Problem:
    - does always occur when trying to import a new album of an artist that existed before.
    - sometimes occurs when trying to import a new album / artist.
    Steps taken:
    - updated read/write rights in the music folder, all folders above it.
    - used the "apply to enclosed items" when updating read/ write rights for my music folder, but it didn't update those rights in the enclosed folders.
    - tried renaming the library
    - wanted to fix permissions but this option is grey in Disk Utility, even when I run it from the installation CD.
    - repaired the disk in disk utility (many errors were found and it took ages)
    Steps not taken:
    - didn't update read/write right in all the folders within my music folder. (performing such a manual update on plus 350 folders shouldn't be considered a solution, there must be some other way)
    Question: How to fix this problem? I understand that there is a problem with my old admin (from the previous install) being in charge of my external HDD. I can't remove that admin (it's listed as "unknown").
    Thanks in advance for help. I see that I am not alone with this issue.

    Select your external drive in finder.
    press CMD and i
    an info windows will open - what is reported as "Format" ?
    anyway scroll down to the very bottom: "Sharing & Permissions"
    set everyone's privilege to "Read & Write" and choose to "Apply to all enclosed items"

  • I have a -1202 error when attempting to connect to itunes windows xp is up to date

    I have a -1202 error and can not get onto an itunes account

    OK, I see what happened. I had the 10.2 client installed with the connections configured via the tnsnames file. When I then installed the DB (with it's own tnsnames file), SQLDeveloper starting pointing to that instance of the file, with none of my tns connection entries. So, I copied the tnsnames file from the client directory to the database directory, re-created my connections, and everything was fine.

  • I get a runtime error when attempting to search the store in Itunes.  I unistalled and reloaded. How can I fix this?

    I just began getting a runtime error when attempting to search the iTunes store.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled but, it's still happening.
    How can I fix this so I can start to buy music again?

    I have the same error, but I think we will get no solution for this problem.
    You've get no answer here and the Apple support also doesn't send an answer how to solve the problem.
    BTW I have also Windows 7 and the newest version of iTunes 64-bit.

  • Sharing iTunes library between two Macs on Time Capsule

    Hi there
    I've just about persuaded my fiancee to get a MacBook, which would give us a mac-only household. If I got a Time Capsule, could we share an iTunes library? We each have an iPod and it would seem like a pain to have to recreate two entire libraries on the Time Capsule, much of which would be the same music.
    I'm also assuming we could both use the TC as wireless Time Machine backup for our Macs - is this correct?
    Finally, does anyone have a view on the likely range of TC relative to a standard Linksys 802.11g wireless router? The Linksys doesn't quite reach to the other end of my apartment and I'm wondering if the TC is likely to be better.
    Very many thanks in advance.

    Hello
    You will run into pain. I just tried every found solution on Internet. Whatever you will do, it ends up in a hack. Fact is: iTunes administer your library only local. You CAN share your iTunes library on one Mac by menu settings in a network, BUT the Mac sharing its iTunes library MUST run all the time you want to listen to music from shared iTunes library even if the shared library (music files) is on the Time Capsule. It even wont work turn on "Wake up on LAN activity". The shared library will only be available as long as the Mac sharing its iTunes library is up and iTunes opened. That way it makes no big sense to have the music files in library physically on your Time Capsule. Another problem might come up when you stop listening shared iTunes library: As soon as the sharing Mac goes into StandBy mode (time depending) you can't access its library again. Standby must be stopped.
    The other "solution" is also to have the whole library on a shared drive (Time Capsule) and to import it on both Macs. You will run quickly into Sync problems, beside its a pain to administer the song library that way: You have to import further songs twice, on both Macs to hear them on every one.
    And of course, there are third pary hacks around nobody really wants to use.
    After implementing Time Machine into Lepoard Apple wanted to make money out of it and offered Time Capsule mainly for storing data and backups (what both works great, also WLAN works fine).
    I hope Apple will find a way in iTunes not to handle the music libraries so restrictive, so it can be accessed f.e. on Time Capsule while the Mac sharing its library must not run all the time.
    Hope I could help.

  • ITunes shows time out error when trying to play on Airport Express.

    Time out error when trying to play on Airport Express. This started with an iTunes update, problems has to be with iTunes, Airport Express appears to be communicating fine, even shows when speakers are not connected.

    Same here, though on XP. Have tried cleaning registry, reinstalling, deleting preferences. Created a new user with no library and I have the problem there, too, so it's not the library.
    Is there no one to call about this??

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • My shared iTunes library shows up fine on my Apple TV, but when I try to access the same library on my iPad to view the shared TV Shows everything jumbled and all over the place. There does not seem to be any order and many shows are missing.

    When trying to access the shared iTunes library of my Macbook Pro on my iPad(iOS 5.1) the TV Shows are all mixed up. Some shows are not even displayed. The same library display normally via my Apple TV. It appears that iPad using iOS 5 has lost the ability to recoginize that TV Shows have a main show title followed by a number of episodes eg., 'Top Gear', Season 17, Episode 1 to 6, and 'Modern Marvels', Vol lll, Episodes 1 to 16. This has to be a glitch with iOS 5 as it was working fine in previous OS versions.
    Does anyone know if Apple is aware of this anomally or is there a work-around? Thanks

    Perhaps you should ask over in the iPad community, you may get better answers there.
    It's actually my fault that psoon ended up here ... s/he intially posted over at Home Sharing, and I tried a relocate request to Apple TV rather than iPad.

    Hello Ceeclass,
    I suggest this article named iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408.
    It should help you locate the media that is not playing in the iTunes library.

    Yes you can drag and drop music to the iPiod if you select Manually Manage Music and Videos in  iTunes.

    You do not drag the music to put it on the iPod, you click into the iPod tab and sync it with your library.

  • ITunes crashes when attempting to play purchased tracks

    Hoping someone can help me here. iTunes crashes when attempting to play tracks purchased from the iTunes store. Music imported from CDs still plays fine. They have played preiously but not since downloading and installing 7.0.2.16. QuickTime is up to date and I only have 1 PC authorised. Help!

    There's another thread on here that suggested re-installing iTunes. That works for me (in that the videos play), but I have to re-install iTunes every time I want to watch them which is a pain. So if anyone has a more permanent fix...
