Home Share iTunes Library Not Loading

My itunes library from my old computer will not load onto my new computer. I have home share set up, everything is authorized ,etc. Both computers recognize each others libraries, however my new computer (macbook pro) will not load the library from my old computer (pc). It just says "loading" but never completes the task. I thought maybe it would take some time so i left it alone, but when i came back to it (ive done this three times now) the shared library name has apparently disappeared on its own. The pc loads my mac's library just fine, but my mac wont load up my original library from the pc, which has EVERYTHING on it. PLEASE HELP!

Another I thing I tried recently is using the "change" option (in the Add or Remove Programs section) to fix and reinstall iTunes but it still hasn't made any difference.

Itunes library not loading after upgrading

Please help: I had to upgrade my itunes when I plugged in my Iphone and now it won't sync. No matter what I plug in (Ipad, Ipad2, Iphone or Ipod) the only thing that happens is the Iphotos will pop up and recognize that I have plugged in my device, but the Itunes does not load and sync. I don't know if I did something wrong, put when it asked if I wanted to use Icloud I clicked no. I don't know if that is my problem now or what. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it, as I am lost!
Thanks, Debbie.

johnc86,
Are you following the instructions from this article in the Apple Knowledge Base, in particular the renaming of the .itl file from the Previous Libraries folder?

ITunes Library not loading in other applications

I m unable to access my iTunes music in iPhoto. I have foloowed the advice given by Apple:
To add music to a slideshow:
Hide
If you don’t see your iTunes library in the Source pop-up menu:
Try the following:
Quit both iTunes and iPhoto. Open iTunes first, and then reopen iPhoto.
If you recently installed iLife software, it’s a good idea to open each application in the following order: iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, and then iDVD.
These applications use one another’s media libraries, and opening the applications in that sequence ensures that you see the most up-to-date versions of your music library, photo library, and Movies folder no matter which application you’re using.
If you still don’t see your iTunes library, try this:
Quit iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, and iTunes.
In the Finder, locate your iTunes folder.
It is usually in [Home]/Music/iTunes or [Home]/Documents/iTunes. If it’s not there, search for it.
Open the iTunes folder and drag the iTunes Music Library.xml file to your desktop.
Open iTunes and create a new playlist (choose File > New Playlist).
Quit iTunes and open iPhoto.
You should now see your iTunes library when creating a slideshow.
The same thing happens in both iMovie and iDVD – no iTunes LIbrary available.
There seems to be something fundamentally wrong with my iTunes Library: I dont have an iTunes Media File folder, (which my Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard has).
My iMac (Lion) has the following path: Home/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/and then a list of music which is not what is presently in iTunes, it is some previous state of my iTunes library.
The Macbook pro has the following path: Home/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/ and then a list of music which is as in iTunes.
iTunes itself works OK, although some files, mainly podcasts have become lost files which can't be played.
Any advice?

i have been running out of space on my hard drive because of my itunes library. i purchased an external and found a site outlining how to move it and did so. it calls for moving the main folder but not the album artwork or the xml file.
i open iphoto, create a photo slideshow and when i go to choose a song, it shows me the list but gives an error when i choose it. i had no problems previously, so i assume it's because the program cannot find the songs because the files are now on the external drive. i research and several sites say to delete the xml file and create a new playlist in itunes to redirect the files. this did not work and now i'm not sure what to do besides just moving it back to my hard drive and dealing with the space issues some other way.

ITunes Library not loading

Hello all,
Today, when I opened up iTunes it was loading my iTunes Library but then said there was a problem and said something like it has renamed the Library or file to "iTunes Library (Damaged) 1". This has occurred a few times in the past but this time after iTunes opened up: playlists and applications were missing. How can I get iTunes to work properly again?
I have tried opening the iTunes Library manually by going to File > Import, but it doesn't seem to react, as in doesn't open the library.
I have also tried using "system restore" to see if that solves the problem but the problem still persists.
Any suggestions?

Home sharing on iDevices not loading large library

I store my entire music library (3TB of ALAC files) on a Mac Mini connected to my Time Capsule. I can home share the library flawlessly on my laptop, but it absolutely refuses to load the library on my iPhone or iPad. I'm using all the latest software (iOS7, iTunes 11.1) with an iPhone 5 and iPad 3.
When I try to share my library, the circle starts to load, but never gets past halfway. I've tried EVERYTHING, i.e. signing out of home sharing and quitting iTunes, restarting the Mac Mini, restarting the iPhone, unplugging the Time Capsule and plugging it back in, and several other tips I've found around here and elsewhere online, but nothing seems to work!
I have other apps (such as Audiotap) that will do the trick, but they leave a gap between tracks, so I would prefer to get home sharing working properly. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello Lee,
I have the exact same problem. I have two iPads, one running iOS6 and the other iOS7. iOS6 is able to load the library as expected but not the iPad running on iOS7. The problem has to do with the size of your library.
Have a look at your "iTunes Music Libary.xml" and the "iTunes Library.xml" files on the machine running iTunes. Most likely they are over 20MB in size. Therein lies the problem. Somehow the Music and Video app's both have problems parsing large xml files and in turn will timeout before completion.
You can easily test this. Sign on as a different user and create a new iTunes library, import a few items and start the Video/Music app on your iOS device. There is no need to restart, unplug etc. Home Sharing works as advertised when dealing with small libraries. By the way, the sorting problem is fixed in iOS7.

Library Not Loading in Home Sharing

I recently purchased a macbook pro and am trying to transfer my iTunes library via homesharing from an old dell inspiron laptop to the new mac. Both computers have the most recent version of iTunes, are activated for the same homesharing account, and the library names appear under the "sharing" section of iTunes. I can transfer the few songs I have on the macbook to the PC with no problem, but for some reason when I click on the name of the PC's library on my macbook, itunes says that the library is loading for a minute and then the screen goes back to the mac's itunes library without loading the shared library. I have been trying to figure out for days now what the problem might be with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

more often than not, this is due to security software and/or firewall settings on the winsloth side. check these support articles for a possible solution:

Itunes will not load on my ipad. Icon is there. When I open "Music", it shows itunes with no content briefly and then takes me back to home page. What to do?

itunes will not load on my ipad. Icon is there. When I open "Music", it shows itunes with no content briefly and then takes me back to home page. What to do?

Quit the app and restart.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or reset the iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

ITunes will not load certain mp3s into my library

all of the music i have has been tested as working mp3s both on and off the computer; i had a zune for about a year til a rainstorm destroyed it, and the song collection i have plays just as well through winamp/zune/wmp as it did on the zune. however, itunes will not load songs into the library and doesn't give any sort of error or message about it. my primary example is the three bloodhound gang albums i have, only one (one fierce beer coaster) will load in itunes whereas the others (hefty fine and hooray for boobies) don't show up, regardless of adding songs individually, adding folders, or drag+dropping from explorer. any ideas why itunes is hatin on my music?

i can't seem to find a "itunes music library.itms" file, or indeed any .itms file in the program files folder for itunes. currently there is no music in my itunes library; i removed it all to try directly dragging files from explorer to the music section of my ipod, which still results in files not loading/synching. after it finishes i'll put files into the library and see if it creates such a file

Could not connect to " home shared iTunes library name "

I'm having an issue with iTunes/ Apple TV. Actually it has been ongoing. I have a particular iTunes library shared on a private subnet (together with the Apple TVs) from a Mac Mini. I can connect and play content any time with iTunes on another computer 100% reliably. But around 60% of the time when I try to connect to it from any of my four Apple TV (2's) an error comes up saying "Could not connect to "<home shared iTunes library name>" ", "Make sure the computer is on the same network as your Apple TV. the iTunes version is up to date and iTunes is running". The answer to those questions (as always with such messages is obviously 'yes':
Yes of course we are on the same network. If I wasn't, the library wouldn't have even shown up in the first place before selecting it
Yes iTunes as always is the latest version thanks to Mac Software Update
Again 'dah'. See response #1
If I restart the offending iTunes library the error is resolved (although sometimes it does require reboot of the Apple TV) but could reappear as early as within the next 24 hours. This issue has been occuring for a very long time however appears to be increasing in frequency. It occured as well on the Apple TV (v1).
Anyone with clues on what's going on here?
Thanks
Greg

I agree that the first debug point should be the network. Though like Greg, I use a Mac Mini to serve up movies to a couple of Apple TVs. From the 'problem' Apple TV, I could see other iTunes movie libraries on other Mac(s), and those would work/play fine. It's only when I try to connect to the iTunes Library of the Mac Mini that I have this issue. It's almost like it's asleep, and doesn't respond. Though I can mount the library folder, and play movies from other Macs w/o a problem while the Apple TV still has the problem.
As Greg mentions, closing and re-opening iTunes on the Mini solves the issue (though only temporarily).
The only difference that I have (non-consistency) is that my Mac Mini is an older model, and cannot be upgraded to run Lion (10.7.x) like my other Macs. The Mini is running 10.6.8, and iTunes 10.6.1 (32-bit). My Macs are running 10.7.3 and the 64-bit version of iTunes 10.6.1.
Is it possible it could be a 10.6 vs. a 10.7 issue? Greg, which version of OS X are your Macs running?

I converted a heap of music using 'switch', when i try and add this music to library iTunes will not load it??

Unless the MUST be AAC, try FreeWMAtoMP3Changer: http://www.wma-mp3.com/free-wma-to-mp3-converter/
The ONLY caveat with it is: You CAN'T drag & drop files on it to open them. You MUST use the browse function to select them. If you drag and drop, it multiplies the output files. A 10 track album will produce 45 converted files.

How to fix CUPS corrupted (Dyld Error Message:   Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libcups.2.dylib)?

Hello,
After trying to change my printer settings on CUPS administrator area to allow to share my wirelless printer to my VirtualBox environment (somehow virtualbox doesn't detect my wirelless printer) I notice that this area stop to work. After it I try to update the CUPS by installing a new version. I admint that I am a newby in unix environment and I downloaded the CUPS v1.6.1 and installed through the terminal,
./configure
sudo make
make install
After restarting apple site no longer opened like also my home page. Other programs also stopped working and always warn about the same error described bellow. I posted my last try which was reinstall my system Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6.8). Does anyone deal with this problem before? How can I reinstall at least the operation system or just fixing this library will solve the problem?
Note: The reason of using virtualbox is that I need to use a prescribed software that only works in windows environment and since I need to make work in other places the wireless printing is the only viable way to do this.

Here is another option.
I had the same problem with my Mac OSX System 10.8.4 after update cups from 1.6.2 to 1.6.3.
I have a MacBookPro with the same system version and copy the libcups.2.dylib file form /usr/lib/ then replace the error file in my other Mac.
1. Install cups 1.6.2 again
2. Replace the file libcups.2.dylib in /usr/lib/ directory with this one libcups.2.dylib
Note: I added the link if you dont have an other mac in the same version available.
This works for me.
