Home Sharing troubles on a new windows computer

So we just got a new computer and I am trying to sync my iTunes library to this computr via Home Sharing. Everything works fine until the end of the import when it says that there were 216 errors in downloading the songs (216 is most of my library). The other part is that all of the errors say that I do not have the authorization to import the songs. No matter how many times I authorize the computer and re-import the songs, the 216 errors come up again.

    can I use home sharing to transfer iTunes from old computer to new computer?

    You are trying to use home sharing, you are logged into the same account for sharing on both computers (and they are connected to the same wifi network), and what happens when you try to copy your library ? Can you update your iTunes so that they are the same on both ?

  • Home Sharing-Copying Album in new iTunes

    My husband and I each have our own PC running windows 7.
    We have the latest version of iTunes installed on each one.
    In previous versions it was easy to copy an album or song from each other as we have Home Sharing set up.
    I can remember dragging and dropping and cutting and pasting, but in this new version I'm lost as to how I do it.
    Please can anyone help??

    Hi ruffordjane,
    Happy Holidays!  To answer your question about how to use Home Sharing with the new iTunes 12, I've included the section from the online help manual for you below:
    Use Home Sharing to import items from another iTunes library - iTunes Help
    http://help.apple.com/itunes/mac/12/#/itns56cd6f5
    Use Home Sharing to import items from another iTunes library
    You can use Home Sharing to import items from up to five iTunes libraries on other computers. To use Home Sharing, you must have an Apple ID.
    Any time you download an item from the iTunes Store to a computer in your Home Sharing network, you can have the item automatically downloaded to the other computers in the network as well.
    Turn on Home Sharing
    Follow these steps on each computer you want to include in your Home Sharing network.
    Choose File > Home Sharing > Turn On Home Sharing.
    Type your Apple ID and password, and click Turn On Home Sharing.
    If you don’t have an Apple ID, click “Don’t have an Apple ID?” and follow the onscreen instructions.
    Import items from other libraries using Home Sharing
    Click the Sharing button near the top left of the iTunes window, and choose a library from the pop-up menu.
    Click the button for the type of content you want to import (Music, for example) near the top left of the window.
    Click the Show pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes window and choose “Items not in my library.”
    Select the items you want to import, and click Import.
    Automatically import new iTunes Store purchases from another computer
    Click the Sharing button near the top left of the iTunes window, and choose a library from the pop-up menu.
    Click the button for the type of content you want to import (Music, for example) near the top left of the window.
    Click Settings at the bottom of the window.
    In the window that appears, select the types of items you want to automatically import.
    Click OK.
    Turn off Home Sharing
    On each computer, choose File > Home Sharing > Turn Off Home Sharing.
    Tip: If a shared computer doesn’t appear when Home Sharing is on, turn Home Sharing off, and then turn it on again.

  • ITunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64

    iTunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64.
    Getting the following error message:
    Home sharing could not be activated because this computer is not authorized for the account "iTunes account." Please authorize this computer and try again.
    This is a bug since my computer is authorized in iTunes and there is only 2 computer authorized for my iTunes account, so I have 3 more left till I should get this message.
    I've just upgraded my iPhone to OS 3.1 using it this morning.
    Please advise.
    Environment: Windows 7 x64, HP TouchSmart tx2-1020us Notebook

    <edited by host>

    I am using Windows 7 x64.
    I am running iTunes 9.0.2.25
    I am running Mcafee.
    I can see and play music from the iTunes installation on my Windows 7 machine, but I CANNOT access the library to copy songs from this computer to other computers on my network.
    YES, I have enabled "Home Sharing" using my iTunes account. NO, I have not authorized more than 5 computers on this account.
    I believe this to be a Windows 7 related issue, as Home Sharing worked as advertised when I was using Vista (before I upgraded to Windows 7).
    I CAN set up Home Sharing on two other (host) computers in my home network and it works. These computers are XP and a MacBook Pro. I CANNOT access my Windows 7 machine x64 to COPY music from one autorized library to another. Please help!!!
    P.S. - I have attempted to get this to work by turning OFF my McAfee firewall. Windows firewall is disabled.

    Hi, I'm an ipod newbie, and unsure of what product i have-i believe it's an ipod nano, but can't seem to find any info on itunes that will identify my product.

    I recently had to get a new windows computer, old one crashed. My tech guy got all my itunes library over to the new one, and all my songs are there. However, some won't play and ask me for the password for the apple id they were purchased under. 2 of these ids are obsolete and I have no access to those accts. The songs all played on my old computer without prompting me for a password.
    Any ideas how I can get around this hassle and get them all to play? We're talking about 800 songs that are being obstinate. The new computer is authorized under my "new" Apple id, which I have used for years.

    You don't import photos from the iPhone to your computer using iTunes.
    See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Note this only applies to photos taken with the iPhone. Any photos you previously added to your iPhone using iTunes should be copied from old computer to new computer.

  • HT5085 purchased music on new windows computer

    cannot find pervious purchased music on new windows computer.  Logged in, purchased, all albums    ---   nothing

    You are looking in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage, and do the artists that you've bought music from show on the left-hand side of that screen ?  If you've changed countries since buying the music, or if the rights-holder has removed the music from the store, then you won't be able to redownload it - it also won't show if it's hidden : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.
    Or if you go into the Store tab in Edit > Preferences  and click on 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' do they then show in the Music part of your iTunes library with a cloud icon against them for redownloading ?

  • I have an old Ipod and am trying to sync the music from it onto my new (Windows) Computer. When it links us it says it must remove and sync the music. Does this mean I will lose the music from my ipod forever?

    Does this mean I will lose the music from my ipod forever?
    Yes, that is exactly what it means.
    The right way to do it is to first rebuild your library on the new computer, and then sync the iPod. 
    You can rebuild your library by copying the library from the old computer or from your backup.
    If neither of those options is available, you can extract the songs from the iPod, although the process is a bit hairy.  See this guide for the procedure, written by Forum member Steve/turingtest2.

    That's Adobe for you!
    No matter how much we request, beg and/or complain, nothing is done about the miserably small interface.
    We're still left with the three inadequate choices in preferences:
    Other than that, you can change your monitor's resolution.
