Home Sharing in iTunes no longer working with Lion....

Anyone else having this problem?? I have not seen it as a topic.
We have 2007 iMacs so chips do not support Air Drop. However, I would not think Air Drop would be required for home sharing in iTunes.
Moving to Lion has not been a very good experience for me so far with peripherals, but to lose home sharing in iTunes on top of it... I don't even want to finish this sentence.

I just discovered that after the iTunes update and the Lion update, my iTunes wouldn't update anything except what was in the library already.  New songs, apps, movies all equaled bupkiss.  I went into advanced settings and saw that my library location was blank.  I'm using an external drive for my music.  So there's a bug, since it would play everything thing in the library but was unsure where the library was so that it could write to it.  I just relocated my media drive and now sharing and updating the library works fine.

  • My cisco vpn no longer works with Lion

    After installing Lion, my cisco vpn no longer works. If I force boot in 32 bit mode it works fine, so appears to be a cisco client issue. Does anyone know if CISCO is working on  64bit client compatible with Lion?

    Not sure this answer helps me or anyone else. My VPN connection no longer works in Lion. How do I re-set the parameters of my VPN connection to work in Lion?
    Below is what my VPN screen look like:

  • My Quicken no longer works with Lion.  Any suggestions?

    My Qucken no longer works now that I have installed Lion.  Any suggestions?

    Visit Intuit for their solutions or find another application that works with Lion of which there are many. Quicken is supposed to be upgraded this year for Lion, but that's only the rumor.
    You can also downgrade back to Snow Leopard or partition the drive and install Snow Leopard on a different partition provided you can install Snow Leopard on your Mac model
    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • ITunes No Longer Working With iPhoto Slideshow

    I'm not certain, but as I can no longer play music from my iTunes Library along with an iPhoto Slideshow, I think this is related to the new 7.7 iTunes update.
    My iPhoto by the way, is the last version - 6.0.6.
    Has anyone else noticed a new-found inability to have songs in your iTunes Library accompany an iPhoto Slideshow? And better still - how can this be fixed?
    Thanks kindly,
    john

  • I wiped my computer, and now iTunes doesn't work. Does iTunes no longer work with Leopard, or did I do something wrong?

    I wiped the computer using the original OS disk so I could give it to my mom in July. iTunes worked when I did it. I just updated the system and tried logging onto iTunes for the first time since I wiped the memory. I can log on, but nothing appears on the home screen. It looks like I can download files from the internet and import them into iTunes, but I can't access the stuff I've purchased from Apple. Is the iTunes Store no longer compatible with Leopard? Do I have to purchase a newer OS to access my purchases? Or did I do something wrong?

    Hi, likely something else isn't updated, maaybe Safari?
    Is his he version you have, & Safari 5.0.3 or more?

  • Video capture no longer working with Lion

    Does anyone know why USB video capture (XLR8 USB 2.0) would no longer capture audio with Lion.  It worked great at importing old VHS home movies to my Mac before the upgrade to Lion and now, while I can still see the video, I no longer hear audio.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Well, heck.
    I am so sorry you guys couldn't get through to me. you can email, [email protected] anytime for full support.
    On the issue of Lion, and the XLR8 devices?
    Apple did change a number of items, that limited the XtraView's ability (this is the one, with the built-in audio on the older 2820 chipset). Audio, just won't work in 64-bit mode.
    The easy workarounds are to boot into 32-bit mode (hit 3 and 2) on boot.
    To check if you are in 64 bit mode, go to the System Profiler (Apple Menu > More Info > Software (left pane) and see if the 64 bit is loaded.
    If in 32-bit mode you are still having an issue, please check that you are running XLR8 version 1.4.6. You can download new versions at http://XLR8.com.
    You can email XLR8 for a free audio cable (Mac sound jack to RCA audio), or for $25, XLR8 can upgrade you to the new 2860 device that works in 64-bit mode.
    Now, that hopefully, we have you working again... about Daystar. Actually  XLR8 has always developed, built and shipped the devices. Daystar just had a bigger name and was an Apple Authorized Reseller. But, the Apple relationship ended, and Daystar closed.
    XLR8, LLC will continue to support the devices and we will continue to provide great products and good support (sorry, we are a small company, and due to limited time... I can only provide "good" support. Maybe one day, it will be great.)
    We are expanding the website at XLR8.com. You are always welcome to provide feedback and suggestions.
    Oh, and lastly, thanks to Thiago, for sending me an email, and alerting me to the thread...

  • Surf stick no longer working with Lion

    Hi all,
    first time I had a bad experience with apple products:
    I have installed Lion straight away and unfortunately my 3G USB surfstick is no longer working. I have the T-Mobile Internet Manager 03 and no connection is available at all.
    Seems it has something to do with the Novamedia Disk Suppressor. No longer supported???

  • My photoshop no longer works with lion, any solutions?

    my photoshop and microsoft office no longer works since i upgraded to lion, and suggestions plz?

    Lion doesn't support Rosetta PPC based programs, you either need to FIRST check with your third party software before upgrading a operating system or have a easy means to revert to a earlier OS version.
    You can look though my extensive post here and find various ways to go back to Snow etc.

  • HT3775 AVI Home Video no Longer Works with Lion

    Hi Everybody,
    I have quite a few hours of AVI files (family footage dating back to early 70's transfered to avi from Super-8). This worked before I updated to Lion. Now I get the message "The document xxxxxxxx.avi” could not be opened. A required codec isn't available."
    I don't understand why this now doesn't work. When I click on "Tell Me More" option avi is one of the files listed for Quicktime so...
    Can anyone help with this?
    Cheers

    As Ogelthorpe above mentioned, the Free VLC Player works fine for that:

  • Shared Canon MP390 no longer works with Leopard wirelessly

    Please Help. I previously had Tiger on my new Macbook and setup a Canon MP390 through Windows SMB. The Printer is connected to a XP machine and shared. Once I upgraded to Leopard, the printer is gone, and I cannot re-install it. I have connected it directly to test the Leopard drivers and the printer was detected and printed right away. I have called Apple Support. They had many suggestions, but none of them worked. If anyone has successfully setup a network printer in Leopard that is physically connected to a windows xp machine, Please Reply. Thanks.

    Fixed. Add the TCP/IP print server service on the windows XP machine. Set the service to start automatically. Share the Printer. Then go to IP Printing in Leopard Print Setup and put the desktop's IP address, Printer name, & driver. It worked right away.

  • Keychain passwords no longer work with lion

    When browsing after upgrading to Lion, many of my passwords don't work any more.  When resetting a password for a site, I usually get a dialogue box to the effect "that password has been used recently, please select another."  The next time I log into the same site, I'm likely as not to get the same message "password incorrect," and must reset to a new password.  It gets old, and keeping track of the new passwords is a hassle.  I believe (but don't know) that key chain is responsible, but ...
    Any ideas?

    Had the exact same issue with my mini. I just reset the keychain. Basically removing all keychaines or saved passwords and starting over with having saved passwords for websites and system applications. If you go to Keychain Access in your Application's utility folder (easy: spotlight search keychain) then select File in the Menu Bar and then Delete Keychain. Those alerts for passwords will now go away.
    **Added Note** This will delete all saved passwords. You just have to save them by entering them again.
    Hope this helps.

  • Microsoft Word No Longer Works With Lion?

    It says something like "You can't open Microsoft Word Because Power PC Applications are no longer supported."
    This just happened after updating to Lion. Is there anything I can do?

    Return to Mac OS X 10.6.8, or upgrade Office to 2008 or better, or use a third-party product such as OpenOffice, or run Mac OS X Server 10.5 or 10.6 through a program such as VirtualBox.

  • ITunes Home Sharing No Longer Working Under Lion

    Home Sharing is no longer working between Lion and my Apple TV or iPhone. I am able to watch Netflix through my Apple TV (2nd Gen) so I do have connectivity. I have restarted both devices, and updated iTunes to 10.4. Under "Advanced" in iTunes, Home Sharing is turned on. In Preferences in iTunes under Sharing, it says Status: On, no users connected, even though my Apple TV is connected to the network.
    Is this problem isolated, or are others experiencing the same issue?

    I'm up and running. Spoke with Apple and they had me go to : preferences, network and create a new location. That seems to have reset something. I had to reset all my devices back to my main network that had stopped working. The guest network will not let Home Sharing work, only the main network.
    Others have been able to use Home Sharing without clicking "Done" after typing in their password. After you click "Done" the Shared disappears in iTunes.
    Apple help people were GREAT!
