Homeshare option not showing up in iTunes bar

I just learned how to be homesharing to get my music from my old computer onto my new laptop.  However, while the music and movies were loading on my new computer, someone accidentally closed the other computer that had all the old music that I was homesharing with.  Now, I can't get the homesharing option at all.  I've turned on and off homesharing and tried using my brother's ID instead of mine.  However, the homesharing tab doesn't even appear in the iTunes bar on the top left.  Am I doing something incorrectly?  How can I access the other computer's library again through my new computer?  I know the basics of homesharing, but I don't even know how to access it anymore.  I've restarted my computer and the other computer, logged on and off of my wifi, refreshed iTunes, etc. 
(On the other computer my new computer's tab shows up, but it won't load.  But the homeshare tab is in the iTunes bar in the old computer)

  • Join CD tracks option NOT showing up in iTunes 11.4

    Once again, Join CD tracks option refuses to show up when I am trying to import an audiobook CD.  The tracks are sorted consecutively by track Name, I am selecting all the tracks, and the options menu upper right of the window does NOT show Join CD Tracks.
    I have separately and together varied the following:  toggled the compilation CD box off and on;
    restarted iTunes;
    switched from one CD to another in the same set;
    change the 'type' from 'spoken & audio' to audiobooks to music to unclassifiable
    and still no joy.
    I have used Join Together to join tracks from Audiobooks but if starting from individual tracks, CD by CD, there are always a few chapters out of place.  I need this first step to work.
    Is there anywhere else to look for a variation to make the lost option reappear?

    "The tracks are sorted consecutively by track Name"
    You need to sort consecutively by track number for the Join Tracks option to be available.

  • Movie/TV Show option not showing in Itunes Store

    I have the current version of Itunes and want to dowload some movies and TV Shows but those options are not showing in the itunes store list where music / music videos / podcasts are.
    What do I do?

    how then if I have a 30g ipod do I get movies and tv shows on it?
    You'd have to obtain them from other sources, converting them if necessary. I'm not aware of any legal download site in Australia for theatrical-release movies or US-based TV shows (none that could be used with an iPod, anyway).
    Can I purchase off the I Tunes US Store from Australia?
    Sorry but no. The content owners won't allow cross-border sales. If they would, Apple could sell the content through the Austrailian iTunes Store.

  • HT1349 I have podcasts on my iphone that are not showing up in iTunes. I can't get the delete arrow on the phone and can't delete from iTunes. Any ideas?

    I would like to delete a number of podcasts from my iPhone. They do not show up in iTunes and when I pull the arrow on the phone it does not give me a delete option. I am using a Windows 7 PC. Recently I had to restore my computer, when I first reconnected my iPhone I thought it might sync it and wipe out everything on my iPhone, but it didn't do that. The only thing that seems messed up is the podcasts.  I do have an app called Bookmark that I use to listen to books and podcasts. Thanks for any ideas.

  • Synching i5s to new PC with iTunes; i5s playlists do not show up in iTunes

    I am trying to synch my i5s to iTunes on a new PC running Windows 7 and after synching, the existing playlists on my i5s do not show up in iTunes. All the songs are there but not the playlists. How can I fix this?

    Thank you. You were right. They all ended up being there and I copied them to the new computer and used the restore option etc. But now I have a new problem.
    Even though all the 7000-odd songs show up in my iTunes library, for every single one if I want to play them, it tells me it can't find their location (with the little exclamation mark). What should I do?

  • IPod frozen and not showing up in iTunes, I've tried everything

    My iPod Nano (2nd generation) has "Do not disconnect" on the screen whether or not it is connected to the computer, and it will not show up in iTunes, and I do not think that it is showing up in "My Computer." I think I have tried everything that the support section suggested, but my iPod still says "Do not disconnect" on the screen and iTunes freezes up every time I try to restore it.
    What happened:
    I went to the iTunes store and bought an album, so then I plugged in my iPod to get those songs on my iPod. If it matters, I'm using my mom's laptop for iTunes because my computer does not have XP, and I plug the iPod into the USB slot. My iPod's screen showed the words "Do not disconnect" and I waited for the iPod to show up on iTunes and for it to say updating or whatever it does when it puts new songs on it. Well the iPod never showed up, and iTunes had frozen. I did the good old "ctrl + atl + delete" and iTunes was not responding so I clicked "End task." Then I went down to click on iTunes again and it would not come up. I tried again, and nothing. I clicked on iTunes in the Start menu and it wouldn't come up. So then I decided to restart the computer so that I could get iTunes to work. The computer turned off, but would not turn on. It showed the same screen for about 10 min and nothing was happening. I was afraid to disconnect the iPod since it still said "Do not disconnect" so it was still plugged in. I then switched off the power on the laptop, and tried to turn it back on. It was stuck on the same screen again, and I waited for about 10 min, and I finally disconnected the iPod and the computer promptly started up. The iPod still said "Do not disconnect," and pushing buttons did nothing. I pulled up iTunes and plugged my iPod back in, but iTunes did not show the iPod on the side like it should. So I closed it and tried again, and after about 20 tries of restarting the computer, unplugging and plugging the iPod, and reopening iTunes, I eventually got the iPod to show and it asked to restore it, so I clicked ok. As it was restoring the bar was moving back and forth and then it just stopped, and I moved the mouse and realized that iTunes had frozen again. I was forced to "End task" and I had to restart the computer. I've gone through this cycle about 20 times, and about every 15 min I will get the iPod to show up on iTunes (but it does not recognize the iPod's name or the type of iPod) and no matter what I try to do next iTunes freezes up and I have to restart the computer. Sorry for the long read, I just didn't want to leave out any detail. I've been trying to get it to work for a few hours and I'm getting very frustrated, any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Phone is not showing up in iTunes.  I've tried everything.

    I have windows XP, iTunes 7.0.1.8, and a Motorola SLIVR.
    When I connect my phone to my computer via USB, it sometimes does not show up in iTunes. if it does show up, anytime i try to transfer songs, or delete songs, or access the phone's music files in any way, i get an error message that says "The mobile phone "SLIVR" cannot be updated. Thre required folder was not found." and no changes are made.
    Here is what I've done to attempt to correct:
    1. Reinstalled iTunes with the latest download from their site. no luck.
    2. Checked my USB settings on phone, it is set to Memory Card.
    3. Un-plugged and restarted my computer and phone.
    4. Tried re-formating, but the option wasn't there. I went to Settings>Phone Status>Storage Devices>Card, which took me to the Details page on my card. I hit the menu key, and there is no option to format. The only thing in the menu says "Copy All Text".
    5. Plugged a different SLIVR in, and it still did not work.
    6. Plugged my SLIVR into a different computer, and it works (had to re-sync and erase all my files, but was able to transfer songs to my phone).

    it could be the cord. i have that same issue with my phone and it was the cord. you're not supposed to store the usb cord (or any other electrical cord) in a bunched up manner. anyway, i played around with my cord by bending it in different directions and now the cord works and my phone is recognized again. if all else fails, best to buy a new cord.

    hi, my 120gb ipod classic is not showing up in itunes, and everything is gone.
    how do i format it on microsoft ' format portable audio player ' ?
    the device has just installed necessary drivers to microsoft upon plugging in
    like a say though, not showing up in itunes still
    before it recently had this failure, it had shown up as corrupted and that it needed restoring (but i was holding off, as i manually managed all music and was hoping for a way to back it all up, to no avail)
    first time posting here, would appreciate a quick answer because tempted to just click the 'restore device defaults' option
    Many thanks

  • Nano intermittently not showing up in iTunes with 12:00 AM Time in Title

    After I updated my 2GB Nano with Updater 2006-01-10 from my eMac running MacOS 10.3.9 and iTunes 6.0.2 using USB, it ran for a while, but then it got hung and I had to restore it. Since then, it is intermittently not showing up in iTunes or on the desktop when I plug it in, even though the iPod shows the do not disconnect message. I have enabled the "Time in Title" setting to display the time in the title bar and when the iPod does not appear on the desktop, the time displayed is 12:00 AM. The iPod is not in disk mode.
    Does anyone else see this problem?

    From iPod doesn't appear in iTunes or on the Mac desktop:
    "Your iPod has a faulty port
    Make sure that nothing is in or blocking the Dock Connector or FireWire port on your iPod.
    Check the connection to make sure the Dock Connector or FireWire cable is completely plugged in."
    Since the Nano is USB-only, I am not sure that this applies, but there was a piece of fuzz in the Nano's port for the USB cable. It has been removed. Now I will wait and see if the intermittent problem with the Nano not appearing in iTunes goes away.

  • Another Apple TV not showing up in iTunes...

    Ok, this is the config: Apple tv Software 1.1, iMac Intel 07/2007 with OS X 10.5.1, iTunes 7.6. All of a sudden the Apple tv did not show up in iTunes anymore (after working perfectly before). I have another MacBook and a Windows Vista System, both have no connection problems with the atv.
    The atv can be pinged from the iMac, who does not show it in iTunes, without lag or packet loss. There is no firewall enabled. The atv connects perfectly to the internet and to the other computers (MacBook and Vista PC) via WLAN.
    I did anything described on the support page to try to resolve the problem. I resetted the atv, I re-installed itunes... i upgraded to Leopard (after the problem showed up)... not resolving this issue.
    Any clues?

    My ATV mysteriously disappeared from iTunes today as well. I'd been using it all weekend to play music. Today I come home form work and it has disappeared from iTunes.
    I restarted everything including the ATV. It will show up in iTunes at first but then I get a message that I might have a firewall enabled because iTunes can't communicate with the ATV. It gives me port umber to stop blocking. Then the ATV disappears again.
    No firewalls turned on (Leopards Firewall is useless anyway since you can't specify numbered ports to allow communication through.) Nothing has changed in my setup.
    I tired linking the ATV to my Macbook Pro Core Duo (G networking) and it kind of works. I got it to start syncing files but the progress bar in iTunes doesn't update. It stays stuck on one file. But the ATV is copying the files because after I lost patience I canceled the sync and found that some of the media had been copied over. When I tried to sync again I got the same error about a possible firewall blocking the port. After a few iTunes relaunches I got ATV to show up in iTunes again and it resumed trying to copy files over. Again the progress bar just stuck on one song.
    The only thing I can think of is some kind of major interference that is nearby and out of my control. The ATV shows full strength in the Wifi Signal. It can connect to the internet and YouTube. But its iTunes connection is just plain flaky. I've switched on interface robustness in the AirPort base station. Still nothing.
    Sorry I can't be of any help. Maybe more squeaky wheels get grease faster.
    I'm so glad this thing broke right before "Take 2"
