HT2688 where is the "show menu" that supposed to be at the bottom of the itunes window?

help menu says when importing items from other libraries it says to "choose 'items not in my library'" which is located in the show menu at the bottom the itunes window.  Anyone know how to get there or where that is?

Hello JHernandez89,
After you have Home Sharing enabled on both computers, you can select the shared library in iTunes, and the Show dropdown menu is in the lower left corner:
The best way to avoid duplication is to use the Show menu located in the lower-left corner. Choose "Items not in my library" before transferring any content.
I recommend following the steps in the section titled "Setting up Home Sharing in iTunes" on both computers in the following article (step 3 in this article states to go to File>Devices>Turn On Home Sharing, but in the latest version of iTunes you would need to go to File>Home Sharing>Turn On Home Sharing):
iTunes: Setting up Home Sharing on your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4620
If you are still having trouble after following those steps, I recommend reviewing this article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

    You may have to drag the image wider in order to see the instant alpha tools etc on the right side.
    There are 2 short cuts:

    First thing I tried. Made no difference.

    Interesting point.  As I said, I have done all this of course,. Hence I doubted my interpretation of the Help Page instructions.
    However I find, even now, that when I drag the right edge of the window over to what would be half way across my second screen if it were connected (it is disconnected right now because the monitor has died and I haven't replaced it yet) still all I can get are the options as far right as the crop tool.  That's it.
    There are 2 short cuts:
    shift-command-\   ( same as command-| )
    shift-command-a
    I found them to be -
    shift-command-\ 
    shift-command-a ( same as command-| )
    But, what the heck, who cares? Neither keystroke made any difference.
    Might be a clue though?
    Again, thanks for taking the trouble to reply, Leroy.  Much appreciated my friend.

  • I no longer see all of my uploaded CD's when I go to iTunes. I am afraid to upgrade because of losing everything I've uploaded in the past?  Where is all of the music that I have previously seen in the iTunes window when I sync my iPad?

    I no longer see all of my songs/CD's in the iTunes window that are on my iPad.  I am afraid to upgrade.  Where are all of the titles that are on my iPad when I sync my iPad with my computer?  The iTunes window used to show everything.

  • When I go to plug in my iPhone 5 to my PC it will charge my phone but it doesn't show up that it's connected to my computer or in iTunes. I have tried just about everything that I can find on the internet but nothing is working. Any other suggestions?

    When I go to plug in my iPhone 5 to my PC it will charge my phone but it doesn't show up that it's connected to my computer or in iTunes. I have tried just about everything that I can find in the support discussions but nothing has worked. Any other suggestions?

    If you have carefully follow ALL of the steps in that article, you are using a USB port directly on your computer and not a USB hub (don't use a front port on a tower or desktop either, as they are an internal hub) and you installed iTunes correctly using an Administrator ID and you have tried disabling your antivirus and firewall then there is no hope of it ever working. Look at the tip again, and go through it carefully, not skipping any steps.
    Note, BTW, that an iPhone will not show up on a computer, only in iTunes. If there are photos in the Camera Roll then it will appear in Windows as a digital camera only.

  • When I view the summary of content on my iphone5, the status bar at the bottom to the iTunes window shows I have 3.90 Gb's of "other".  What is that about and how can I free up that space?

  • Where is the Show button in the itunes window?

    I'm trying to add songs from my library on my laptop to my parents computer. I've already turned on home sharing. But in the helpful tips it says to use the show button at the bottom of the itunes window and I cannot find it.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Gophergirl22.
    Are you sure you have set up home sharing and not sharing.

  • Xcode 3 - Where's the Log window?

    In Xcode 2 NSLog()Used to print text to a log panel. Now it doesn't. Where is the log window? I can't find it and a search of the help files doesn't produce any results. Also I can't find any menu item that would help. Generally I'm very confused by the big changes in the Xcode and Interface Builder GUIs. Most of the programming examples in my books are now FUBAR. Also the bookmarks in my browser to the Cocoa documentation are now invalid. What a bummer.

    Well, it's an all-new application, it can be disturbing indeed.
    However, your log window still exists, and its name never changed, it's called Console.
    So, look into the preferences --> Debugging, look at the "On start" local menu, select "Show console", when you'll build and go your App the console window will appear and display your logs.

  • The drop down view by menu (Song, album, etc) at the right side of the iTunes window is like a ghost. It flashes into view for a millisecond once in awhile but never lets me click on it. Anyone know what this is about and what to do?

    The drop down view by menu (Song, album, etc) at the right side of the iTunes window is like a ghost. It flashes into view for a millisecond once in awhile but never lets me click on it. Anyone know what this is about and what to do?

    Short answer:
    Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
    Long answer:
    iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
    If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
    Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
    To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.

  • My iPhone is not showing as a device  in the itunes window. I authorized the computer but still not showinh

    I am unable to see my iPhone in the itunes window. I authorized the computer but it still will not show. Under devices it is not listed. Any suggestions?

    You do see the devices heading on the left sidebar? If you don't see the sidebar, go to View>Show sidebar in the iTunes menu and then check to see if the device appears.
    If that isn't the problem, go through the troubleshooting steps. It could be the Apple Mobile Device Service issue.

  • Where is the zoom window ?

    Hi,
    I need to zoom into the doc I'm working on, so I can read it. (I want to maintain the current font size.)
    Where does the zoom window hide? The view pull down does not show it.
    But the help window does!!
    I found this type of probem throughout most of Adobe documentation,
    seems to be systemic.

    The Help panel that you're referring to applies to a Book file only and permits the zooming of the included files when opened from the Book. For individual document zoom controls, look at the lower-right corner of your Status Bar for the zoom contrrols.
    See the following Help page: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FrameMaker/10.0/Using/WS77BBA521-94BB-4980-A086-835994532B81.h tml
    Shortcuts for zooming in & out are:
    In one zoom setting
    Esc z i
    Out one zoom setting
    Esc z o

  • HT5096 where is the administrator window when I drag the folder "Backups.backupdb" from the old hard drive on the new one?

    where is the administrator window when I drag the folder "Backups.backupdb" from the old hard drive on the new one? At the moment when I try to do it, the window that appear doesn't allow me to continue. it only says "the volume has the wrong case sensitivity". thanks

    Although the documentation says you can copy Time Machine backups in the Finder, it's very slow and sometimes doesn't work at all.
    Launch Disk Utility, open the built-in help, and search for the term "Duplicate." Follow the instructions. All existing data on the destination volume will be erased. That shouldn't be a problem, because you don't want to mix backup and non-backup data on the same drive anyway. Turn Time Machine OFF in its preference pane while copying the volume.
