Home Sharing Problem: Import Button & "Show" Dropdown menu are missing?

Hi Everyone,
My wife and I are both running iTunes on Macbook Pros and we are both logged into eachother's iTunes libraries through Home Sharing accounts. However, the Import button on the bottom has disappeared, so has the "Show" dropdown menu that is typically to the left of the Import button on the bottom of the screen when you are in the other person's Music Library. The Show dropdown memu typically displays the options: All and Not in Library. We can play and listen to each other's music, however we can't Import songs. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this problem??
Thanks,
Patrick

To clarify as I have this problem repeatedly here is the description and the cure.
Sharing is enabled in the sharing tab. Other computers can see this computers library but cannot import. The icon for the home sharing doesn't show the "house" - it just shows some musical notes.
This means that home sharing is not enabled. JUST SHARING.
In Itunes 11 use: File/Menu/Home Sharing/Turn on Home sharing.
But you are not done.
When home sharing shows up now in the left panel - click it. The right panel will present a sign on for your apple ID. Sign on and enable home sharing.
Then you will be able to import form the target computer again.
It gets disabled with OS upgrades and sometimes with iTunes updates.

Home sharing problem: I have never set up home sharing but I feel I the concept and how it works. I recently (last 2 months or so) deauthorized, first time ever, all computers with my iTunes account. I have 3 computers authorized. I am trying to set up home sharing but get iTunes says:
"Home Sharing could not be activated because this computer is not authorized for the Apple Id "#########@###.com". Would you like to authorize now?" I click "authorize" and get the next error " You cannont authorize more than 5 computers. You have already authorized 5 computers with this Apple ID. To authorize this computer you must first deauthorize one of the other computers."
Can someone help or shed more light on my problem?
Thanks,

Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet. It's not designed to. if the work computer was on the home network it would.
iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2. Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.

IPhone Home Sharing problems

Here is my home sharing problem. I have 3 devices, a MacBook Air, a PC running Windows 7, and an iPhone 4. All software is up to date. ITunes is installed on both computers, and the exact same Apple ID and password have been entered for home sharing on all devices. The iPhone's music library will NOT show up in any of the Home Sharing folders in the other computers. However, the Mac and PC libraries DO show up in the iPhone, so the password is correctly entered. All computers have been activated and reactivated, restarted, iTunes reinstalled, my router has been reset, firmware up to date. Music from the other computers can be played through Home Sharing on the iPhone, but the iPhone library will not show up in the other computers.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

TS2972 Since a recent Itunes upgrade I've lost the settings facility in home sharing to import tracks not in my library. When I check for updates I'm running the latest version. Any ideas how to resolve this?

Sadly, the iPhone 3G can not be upgraded beyond iOS 4.2.1.

When using home sharing, will my messages show up on the other devices?

I added another device to my I Tunes account, but I want to know with Home Sharing, will my messages show up as a new message on the other device? And will my alerts for my games show up there too? How can I stop my phone from ringing when someone is facetiming the new device?

We want to share the iTunes account, but when his son calls him on FaceTime, I want that to be just on his device. I want him to have all his own stuff and not be bothered by my candy crush notices or other game notices... Or when I get a message? I have my own IPad, and iPhone. He just has an IPad. Is that possible? I created an Apple ID for him and his own email address so far.

Hi,
You could try to create a list with as template Pull Down Menu.
Make sure that you create parent-child relations to get the pull down menu options.
It also depends on the theme you pick up.
Hope it works for u

All networks in Airport dropdown menu are locked. Help

All networks in Airport dropdown menu are locked. They have the closed lock symbol beside them. How do I unlock them so that I can change the security settings. They are currently WPA Personal. I need them to be WPA2 Personal and can't change them.

I'm using a linksys wcg200, so "passphrase" doesn't work for me with apple using a different algorithm to generate them. I have to use the actual WEP key. If I prefix the WEP key with 0x, it still doesn't work. I just bought this machine today, and it came with 10.4 installed. I was able to connect to the Linksys before I did a clean install, but now I can't provide the password (it doesn't like the WEP key as the password).

My new Apple TV won't be recognized by my IPhone Air-Play. I made sure the home sharing is on and that both Devises are I the same network..

My new Apple TV won't be recognized by my IPhone Air-Play. I made sure the home sharing is on and that both Devises are I the same network. The IPhone see the other two Apple TVs at my house, but for some reason it won't see the third one I just added.

Check to see if AirPlay is actually turned on. (in Settings on the ATV)
Also, make sure it's not sitting directly next to your router; interference

The TOOLS menu & HELP menu are missing (not the whole bar)

the TOOLS menu & HELP menu are missing (not the whole tool bar, but only these two menus), I can see File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks but not Tools and Help (on Firefox 3.6 on windows XP)

I suspect that you installed an extension that hides some menu items thru user settable preferences.
Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

Dynamically populated dropdown values are missing when instances are added

HI Team
I have a subform which is repeatable have a drop down as one of the field which is dynamically populated from the web service call(short lived process) from the DB.On initialize event of the subform the data connection is executed .Dropown is populated with the values but when an instance of subform is added the dropdown values are missing.
Only in the first instance of a subform dropdown values are showing up , when instances of subform is added the drop down values are missing.
Please let me how can i solve this issue,
Thanks in Advance
Bharathi

I've tried this option by adding some value (hard-coded) during initialize event of the subform and all values are populated in the newly added instances as well.
Not sure why it's not working for you.. Can you try adding some sample values without calling web service and confirm if it's working?

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Play and pause button and control bar are missing below xfinity player

when I want to watch a video noticed play and pause button and control bar are missing below xfinity player.

For the two soundchannel sounds you have, you will need to keep track if and which one is playing so that you can use some logic to stop the sound right after you mark where the sound was (position) so that you can resume playing it again when the play button is selected.
So if the stroke sound is started, you could assign a boolean variable named something like 'strokeplaying' to be true (setting the other sounds similar boolean false). Then, in your pause function you would test to see if strokeplaying is true and if it is, store the position property and stop the channel playing.
When play is selected, similarly, you test if that sound is true and if so you restart it using the position value you stored as the starting point. You do the same for the other sound... remembering that it is possible neither is playing when pause it clicked.
