Home sharing and trying to copy song from another library not working.

Trying to copy or drag a song from one library to another in the new Itunes 11.0 is not intuitive.   The Help comments suggest there is a show button "at bottom of itunes" that will display "songs not in my library"  but I don't see that.   Anyone else have a clue?

If you want the old way of copying and dragging, you can enable the sidebar by going to View > Show Sidebar from the menu.
Without the sidebar, you can still copy by mounting your Home Share (although, it's not dragging) and select the item you want to copy and click Import at the bottom bar on the right.
Does this help?

  • How can i copy songs from another library to my itunes library with homesharing?

    How can i copy songs from another library to my itunes library with homesharing?  I see the other libraries, but cannot drag the songs into my library.  The help window says to use the "show menu" at the bottom, but I don't have that menu with itunes 11.

    You can do this in 2 ways.
    1) You can enable the sidebar and you can drag and drop like you used to be able to.  To turn on Sidebar in iTunes 11, go to View > Show Sidebar
    2) Another way is to connect to your Home Share from the drop-down menu from the left (where it says Music) and select your Home Share.  Once you are connected to your Home Share, select Music and you should see a button that says "All Items" and on the right, you should see the Import button.  To copy, select the songs you want to import and then click on Import.

  • I have a new iMac and i created two libraries on iTunes. how do i copy songs from one library to the other?

    I have a new imac. I created two libraries, one for me, one for my kids. how do I copy songs from one library to the other library?

    Not easy unless you're just content with adding some files to the other as new files but lose playlists for those files, and playcount, and ratings, etc.  If you're okay with that, you can drag the media folder from one library to the other. If you use default settings and want to duplicate the media, just drag it. If you want to add the media but leave it where it is currently located, hold down the option key while dragging to the library window.

  • Error while trying to copy template from another application

    Hi,
    I am getting this error while trying to copy template from another application:
    report error:
    ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
    This report is located here:
    Home-Application Builder-Application 150-Shared Components-Templates-Replace Templates
    best regards,

    It is usually a permissions issue.. you have read but not write permission. Why it would suddenly change is one of those Apple Mysteries... but it happens.
    Open the directory (folder) where your media files are.. and check the permissions.. see if you can fix them.
    The problem is the folder on the TC might have lost your ownership and you might not be able to change it.. Apple do not provide anyway to regain permissions because you would need low level access to the TC firmware.
    I would just as a matter of course reset the TC to factory and redo its setup.
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
    Do the setup via airport utility using different names.. short, no spaces and pure alphanumerics. Make sure passwords are also pure alphanumeric mixed case and numbers.. 8-20 characters is usually plenty.
    Mount the disk in finder and see if you have the same issue.. I am not expecting a change.. but it is worth a try.
    No luck you can copy your files off the TC.. wipe it .. and then copy them back.. no bad thing unless you already have a backup of your files at the moment. In which case you can just wipe the TC and copy the files now.

  • Can't manually copy song from iTunes library to iPod Touch

    I just purchased 2 songs from the iTunes store. I've alway set my iTunes to allow me to manually manage my songs. When I drug the first song from the iTunes library to the iPod Touch, it went fine. When I drug the second one across it, it said it was copying the file and then when it got to the very end the beach ball came up and it never finished. I had to force quit. The second and subsequent times that I have tried to copy the song, I just get the endless beach ball. This is on a 2011 iMac running 10.7.5 and iTunes 12.0.1.26.

    OK, I got it to work. I updated iTunes to 12.1. Rebooted the iMac, reconnected the iTouch and tried dragging the song from my iTunes library to the iTouch again. This time it copied OK. I'm not sure why.

  • In ITunes when I'm using home sharing if I play the songs on another computer it cuts the songs off maybe 10 seconds plus from the end why is it doing this?

    So I have ITunes Home Sharing on my desktop computer on.  When I go to another computer and play the songs from the Home Share computer the songs get cut off maybe 10 seconds + at the end of the song.  In other words it will not play the last 10 seconds of the song sometimes it's last 5 seconds sometimes its the last 15 seconds it seems to vary.  I can't really find a pattern on the timing but I just don't understand why this is happening please help!

    Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

  • HT1212 i have forgot my passcode and tried to erase the device but its not working

    i have forgot my ipod passcode and tried to erase the device but it wont work

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Workflow does not start on a event: document copied in from another library's workflow.

    I'm using SharePoint Online for Office 365.
    I have a workflow that initiates as soon as a new item is added to a folder. That workflow gets approval from a group of people. Then copies the document to a new folder and deletes the original.
    I have another workflow set to initiate as soon as a new document is created or changed that gets approval from a second set of users and moves the document again.
    Problem: Both workflows work great on their own. The problem i'm having is the second workflow doesn't initiate when the document is moved. There's apparently no way to trigger a workflow from within a workflow. Is there a way to edit the data in the current
    item after it's moved to trigger the second workflow?
    Also, I tried to nest the second workflow within the first but it didn't link the document to the second workflow.
    Any help is appreciated.

    From what I'm told, this is purposeful. It's to protect the user from firing a million workflows on accident. I believe you can run an impersonation step (requires 2010 workflow) on the document moving part and it will then successfully fire.

  • I am trying to drag songs from iTunes library to my iPod and I keep getting red circle like it's telling me it's not possible. Help please.

    I'm trying to help a friend who has a PC. She bought some songs, put them in her library and then tried to drag them to her iPod, but she keeps getting the red "NO' circle. Why is this happening? I thought all she had to do was drag the song to her iPod?

    Hi there,
    It sound like she may have automatic syncing enabled. I would recommend reviewing the process for syncing media with iTunes.

  • Copying links from published forms - not working for all!

    I currently have two web based forms open.  I am trying to allow others to view the results and feedback and have therefore published both forms.  I have then copied the links from each forms and created links to them via a Sharepoint site.  One of these links works fine whilst the other states 'That URL is not in the correct format for an Acrobat.com document link.'.
    Any advice on how to fix this?

    Hi;
    When you paste the URL directly into a web browser does it display the results correctly?  If it does then it seems it would be related to how the link is embedded in the sharepoint site.  Double check that you've copied and pasted the URL correctly.  Is the Sharepoint site a public site you could share the URL with me to take a look at it?  If so you can email me at [email protected]
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • I forgot my macbooks password and i cant do it from terminal its not working what am i goingto do?

    Actually i didnt forgot my password i just wrote it with another keyboard language and i changed the keyboard now i cant find the password i tried from terminal but it says its a service error what am i going to do now ?

    If you know which keyboard layout is active, tell us the characters you need to make and I may be able to tell you how to make them.
    When you do have access to your machine, go to system prefs/users & groups/login options and check the box for Show Input Menu at Login Page.
