Grid View in shared library account

Hello, I decided to share my library with my son so he could use Itunes on his account in my Mac. When I go to his user account and look into Itunes I can see the shared library but I can not select the "Grid view" (on the top right). Only the list view is available and the 3 choices on the "view menu" are grayed, no access to it. Is there possibility to view the music as a Grid View?
Thanks
Thierry

Thierry,
I just ran into this today. I'm setting up 2TB of music and video on a Mac Mini in iTunes that I want to access from the other Macs in the house. It works, but I can't change the view on the client machines. You wrote about importing the shared library. Can you be more specific? I'm not an iTunes expert and didn't see how to do this.
Thanks,
David

Cover Flow view with shared library?

I use iTunes for Windows on my laptop and share my library from my iMac...is there a way to utilize cover flow view with a shared libary?

Since just moving all my music to a NAS I was here researching the same issue. I can see the other three (only when music is specifically selected) but not Cover Flow. I believe it has been disabled. I played around with grid view with 428 albums and iTunes for Windows loads the art fresh evertime you start it and, on the smallest art size in grid view, it took a bit of time to load all the art.
If Cover Flow needs to cache up all the art work in advance then I could see how it would easily take my setup between 45 seconds to a minute to cache them all up.
Perhaps that would feel too clunky for Apple especially if one were to aggressively swipe through a set that wasn't completely cached.

I am unable to re-enable bonjour services to view my shared library on my PC from my Mac

I am unable to view my shared music library from my Mac on my PC (running Windows 7). When I check in the sharing preferences, it says "The Bonjour services has been disable. Bonjour is required to share music with others. Please re-enable the service to use this feature." Yet when I check the services in the system configuration, it says that Bonjour is enabled and running. I have also checked in the msconfig and it says Bonjour services are running. I have also performed a complete reinstall of iTunes and that did not help. I'm looking for a solution. Thanks.

Or you just cant open firefox?

Viewer Builder shared through accounts?

I work in an environment with one parent company that produces several publications. The company has a DPS account and when it was set up, unique log-ins were created for each publication. This works great because each magazine has it's own DPS workspace with only it's respective folio files and members of the development team only have to find articles they're working with for publications they're assigned to.
The viewer builder doesn't seem to act this way. Viewers from other publications appear in the viewer builder regardless of what login a developer is using. Is this correct functionality? Folios are protected by the creator, meaning they can be shared and edited by many users but only published by the creator of the folio, yet it appears that anyone logging in can create and edit viewers. Is there a way to assign specific viewers to specific logins? Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks!
Wes

Hi,
Just got confirmation from the development team that this problem has been fixed and has been deployed to production.
You can open the account administration and hit the 'enable' checkbox for the application account. Now it should be saved and working in Viewer Builder.
With kind regards,

My itunes wont copy and paste from a shared library

I am trying to move my itunes library from one computer to a new one. I can see my shared library, and copy the list of music, but then it won't paste into my new library. My daughters computer with itunes will paste her shared library, and when viewing the shared library she can see a menu at the bottom of the screen allowing her to choose 'all content' or 'content not in library' (or something like that). My itunes doesn't have this option. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes.
How can I move the library to a new computer?

You can drag and drop it into Pages from the Finder but it sounds like you want to either edit it or add something to it.
The pdf will just be an uneditable image in Pages.
If you want text from it you can open it in Preview.app and drag over the text to select and copy it.

LR5 slow performance selecting images in Grid view

LR5 is noticeably slower than LR4 when CTRL-click selecting a group of images in Grid view in the Library module. There is frequently (but not always) a pause of up to a few seconds before an image will show as selected. Also, when I try to grab the selected images and drag and drop into a collection, the images will be deselected if I try this too quickly.
Nothing changed on the computer since the upgrade from LR4.
PC running Win7, 64 bit
i7 processor, 8G RAM
lots of HDD space
LR running off the C: drive
thanks

Trying ticking it and unticking it to see if it is stuck. It works fine on the two systems I've tested.

Some images not selectable in grid view

Have recently installed Lightroom 5.6 on my Mac after deciding to ditch Apple Aperture. I have an issue where certain images are not selectable or do not highlight when moving the mouse pointer over them in grid view in the library module. The images have been imported only once direct from the camera & there is no issue selecting them in the filmstrip or accessing them in the Finder. I've found other posts with users experiencing similar issues but no one has offered an answer

Um, I can't seem to find it on the server, which can't be a good sign ) - :
Have no idea why it's not appearing where it should but if I can get a link to work I'll send it to you.
Thanks for your help

Front row (with itunes 10) does not show moves from shared library

I have two computers. My office computer contains all of my iTunes content, running iTunes 10. I have a mac mini connected to my television, and my intent is to use Front Row to access the shared library from the office computer. The problem is, when using front Row only a small number of my TV shows and none of my movies appear. I have checked the sharing settings on the source computer.

Exact same problem here.
It has been working fine doing this for years, then around a month ago after no changes to either machine that I know of, about half the content vanished when viewing a shared library.
I seem to have also worsened the issue by trashing and rebuilding the iTunes library from scratch. Since at least before doing this I had some of my Movies and TV shows show, but not all, now I seem to have a tiny amount of movies and none of the TV shows listed.
Checking on the source computer in front row shows all of them present as expected. Completely baffled by this. None of them are showing under odd sections (Say in Music rather than TV Shows) either so I know the meta-data isn't at fault.

Mass update of Title in grid view not working

I am currently using Lightroom 5.6. Previously I was able to select multiple photos in grid view in the LIbrary module and change all of the photo titles to the same title. Now this procedure does not seem to work. It changes the title of only the first photo in the selection.
Please suggest a procedure to accomplish this.

Make sure Metadata > Show Metadata For Target Photo Only is unchecked.

List view only for shared library?

Could someone help please, i have a imac with all my content on it and i am using a mac mini in my living room, i have itunes9 and home sharing turned on but when i am viewing my imac library on my mac mini it only lets me view my music in list view no cover flow or column view, is this something i am doing wrong or does itune9 not allow this option thanx.

As soon as I finished typing my last reply and hit send - I realised that there is a workaround for your problem.
First, go into your iTunes preferences on your Mac Mini, and change the settings to NOT "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised", and NOT "Copy files to ITunes media folder when adding to library".
Now, share your iTunes folder through File Sharing on your iMac. Access this file share (not through iTunes), on your Mac Mini, and drag all of your content into your Mac Mini iTunes library.
This will add everything into the library as a shortcut, but not copy the actual files. This way, you can scroll through them all with Cover Flow, or Grid, as iTunes will think that they are local files, rather than a shared library.
I hope this makes sense?

How can another account holder on my Imac view my Iphoto library

How do I set up my imac so all account holders can view my iphoto library.

Move it to a disk image in the /Users/Shared/ folder, select the mounted image, choose Get Info from the File menu, and set it to ignore ownership or permissions.

Working on a single computer with multiple users, I have set things up to allow each user to view and listen to the others' music libraries under the "Shared Library" function. Can you then connect an iPod touch and copy music from a shared library?

Was your wife logged into the libray at the time you tried to log in? I have had a similar problem and it was because another user was logged into the library when I attempted to. I got the permission denied banner.

How do i move only my library from a shared itunes account to my new account

How do i transfer only my library from a shared itunes account to my new account

I am confused by terminology, not knowing what you mean by "iTunes account". You have a computer account which is your user area on a computer. You have an Apple ID that you use to buy items from the iTunes Store. You have a media collection which is an iTunes library. So what is your "iTunes account" and what exactly do you want to do?

After selecting an image in Library mode (grid view), my selection of image jumps to another image.

Through several versions of Lightroom, I have encountered this problem. I choose an image in Library mode while in Grid view and the image jumps to another that I have not chosen. This happens about 75% of the time. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know of a remedy. I am using a Mac.

You are using the Option key to access the Library under the Go finder Menu?
Click in the Go menu the hold the Option key and you will see Library appear, otherwise is is hidden.

In Lightroom 3 I am in Library mode in the Grid View and need to rearrange images, but it is not allowing me to move them.

In Lightroom 3 I am in Library mode in the Grid View and need to rearrange images, but it is not allowing me to move them.

I don't do a lot of dragging to custom arrange my images. But the custom order is right at the bottom of the list of sort orders on my computer.
Added later: But don't worry about the custom order. It doesn't make any difference on my system. Are you sure you are dragging the image itself, and not the border around the image?
