I am having trouble sharing my itunes library with my apple TV.

I can see my computer in the list on the apple TV however when i click on it I get an error message saying that it cannot connect to my library. I have a new mac book pro, new time capsule and a new apple TV 2. I had the apple TV working perfectly with my old windows PC and netgear router but since buying the mac book and the time capsule I have been unable to get it to work.
I have tried powering everything down and powering back up
I have turned all of the sharing off and set it all back up again
I have updated the apple TV software and reset the factory settings
I have updated the time capsule firmware
etc.
any help would be great - very frustrating

I have a friend who had this issue. She tried on
Multiple computers finally she had enough and went to the Genius Bar and they gave her a new phone they said 1 pin in the dock connector was broken

  • Im having trouble launching my itunes library, Everytime i try to launch it an error message appears and says "New Itunes Libraray" How do i fix this? I dont want to lose all my music

    Anybody else having a problem saying "new itunes library"? this happened out of the blue, and i have tried numerous things, but i can not get into my itunes at all.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Having trouble linking to iTunes library on external drive

    I know there have been may questions on this topic but I can't seem to find answer I am looking for. Here is my scenario....
    I have my iTunes stored on an external hard drive that is connected to windows machine. I have recently purchased a MacbookPro. I want to connect to my external hard drive from the MBP so I can listen to my songs on my MBP.
    I have configured preferences in iTunes on MBP to use the iTunes library(songs) on external hard drive. When I open iTUNES on MBP I choose the index file that I have shared on my windows machine. So the problem is iTunes is not displaying all my songs on the iMAC.
    Does anyone have any idea why this happening?
    The end result is I would be connecting to the same library from windows machine and my Mac. Can this be done?
    Thanks and I look forward to your replies.
    ...Bruce

    Tried hooking up my external drive to my Mini. This morning my Mini had all my info listed, but I couldn't play any songs, for obvious reasons. Now, my Mini is hooked up to the external, iTunes prefs are set on the path to the external - but there is no music in iTunes. No lists, no songs, nada. Just a virgin iTunes window. ***?

  • Sharing one iTunes Library with Fast User Switching

    Last year, I started using one MacBook Pro for Office use and Personal Home use, by creating two user accounts on it, and enabling Fast User Switching. I did this when I gave up using two separate desktops macs.
    Now I have two rather similar music libraries, taking up too much hard drive space. Once I enabled Music Sharing in my Office iTunes Library, I realized that I could gain access to that Office Music Library when I am on my Personal Home User account. Since my Library on my Office account is the most complete, can I eliminate the iTunes Library on my Personal Home User account, to save hard drive space?
    If so, how should I do this?

    Since my Library on my Office account is the most
    complete, can I eliminate the iTunes Library on my
    Personal Home User account, to save hard drive
    space?
    Yes.
    If so, how should I do this?
    Move the iTunes folder in Home/Music on the Personal
    Home User Account to the desktop.
    Launch iTunes. Unable to locate a library file, it
    will create a new one, empty one in a new iTunes
    folder at Home/Music.
    Connect to your shared library as usual. If
    everything is working as expected, trash the iTunes
    folder on your desktop.

    My iTunes was created under an admin. user profile that I would like to delete. I created a second profile also with admin privlages but I want to delete the first because I messed up the shortname on the profile. So, if I delete this first profile, will I lose all of my music? Will I lose access to the music?

  • Sharing an iTunes library with another user

    My wife and I both got iPad2's recently.   I would like to add some of my photos from iphoto and some of my music from iTunes to her iPad.
    I have one iTunes account.   I have built it over the years and it recognizes my iPhone and my iPad. 
    Can she sync content (photos, music, movies) from my iTunes account on to her iPad?
    I am really confused about how iTunes deals with multiple users on the same iTunes library.
    Hopefully this is enough information for someone to give me an iTunes 101 lesson on multiple users (with different Apple ID's) and sharing of one iTunes library, and syncing photos, movies, etc.... with each user's devices.
    Both my wife and I are in the cloud, but we really haven't done anything for her to access content in the cloud.  I am fully set up for the cloud with my iMac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV2.
    Appreciate any help offered or references to help me understand the link between one iTunes library and multiple users.

    how to share music between different accounts on a single computer

  • Sharing my iTunes library with other computers on the network

    Hi Everybody,
    I have an external hard disk with about 125 gigs of music on it, and I've spent a year going through it and categorizing it, and rating the songs. The hard disk is plugged into my Aiport Extreme, and communicates with my iMac just fine. My plan was to use my old windows laptop w/ iTunes, plug it into my stereo in the other room and have it pull music off the hd through the Airport, so I could have a jukebox for my stereo.
    I have the windows machine communicating with the Airport and hd, so I have access to the music. I thought I might be able to get the library information if I Exported the Library to the external hd, but it did't work. Next I Exported my playlist from the Mac's iTunes, and Imported it on to the pc's. This shows my playlists, but they are all empty and there is no My Rating information.
    What I would love it to do would be to have mirror playlist information on each computer, and any changes in the playlist would automatically get updated on the other computer's iTunes. for this I would think you would need your Library information at the source of the music, so on the external hard disk, and it would be shared by each computer. It'd be great if all the album covers did this too. I really don't want to have to go through all that music again on the pc, and would probably just use my iPod with my stereo if this is not possible. Any suggestions?
    Forgive me if this has been written about already. Seems like someone else would have run into this too, but I couldn't find any searching through the discussions.
    Thanks, -Victor

    Start iTunes holding the Shift key and select *Choose existing library* then pick the iTunes library file you moved into the Shared directory.
    In iTunes 7.5, you'll need to hold the Option key and then pick the /Users/Shared/iTunes/iTunes Music
    Quit iTunes and log out of your user and let her log in.
    Start iTunes holding the Shift key and select *Choose existing library* then pick the iTunes library file you moved into the Shared directory.
    Now she needs to File -> *Add folder to library* and pick *My Documents*/My Music*/*iTunes*/iTunes music*.
    This will add all her music to the common library.
    Once this is complete, she can delete *My Documents*/My Music*/*iTunes.
    Do this for all users. Any changes made by one will be seen by all.

    ...hi guys! Nice to find this friendly commumity!
    I wonder if any of you have worked out how to share the library across other users on the computer yet?

  • Sharing Mac iTunes library with Windows PC (I want to be able to read/write)

    Greetings from a new Mac user. I recently purchased a 27" iMAC running OS X 10.7.3. This iMac is now connected to my home network/workgroup.
    - I want to build a new iTunes Library on my 1TB internal Mac HD.
    - I want my 3 non Mac Machines (1 XP Prof and 2 Windows 7 Home) to be able to view the contents of my new (not yet built) iTunes Library resident on my iMac and of course be able to
    - play that content.
    - have play counts from my Windows-based be saved back to my iTunes Library.
    - be able to rate a song from any computer (Mac or Windows) within this iTunes Library and have that rating saved back to this iTunes Library.
    I don't want to have to rely on iTunes "Shared Library" function. In other words I want all PCs to be able to read/write to the same iTunes Library file.
    Before I purchased my iMac, my iTunes Library existed on one of my Windows-file system external drives. The pre-requisites for allowing multiple Windows PCs to access/share/write to the same iTunes Library was to:
    - share the Windows folder on the external drive in which the iTunes Library file was stored (allowing network users to be able to change the files), and
    - make sure all Windows-based PCs ran the same iTunes software version.
    Assume: I don't want to change the version of Windows iTunes software from the currently installed 10.5.0 version.
    Question 1: Can my Windows PCs access and utilize the same iTunes library file that I plan to build on my iMac hard drive?
    Question 2: What older version of Mac iTunes software should I install on my iMac in order to allow the Windows PCs to access and use the iMacs iTunes library file?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Hmmm...  thanks for the reply.  This of course, yields another question.  When you say 'you could format to FAT32 which both can use'; do you mean format the iTunes Hard drive on which my iTunes music now resides?  If so, this would mean I would need to copy the music off the internal iMac hard drive, then format the drive to FAT32, then copy the music back.
    Is this what you meant?

  • Sharing an iTunes library with multiple user accounts

    I have a large music library (>200GB) and I want to have the library accesssable to myself and my 2 sons. We each have our own Windows account and I set there iTunes instances up to not copy files to their iTunes music folder. Music is working ok, but podcasts are a problem. When I log into iTunes, there are exclamation marks next to all moyt podcasts now.
    Is there a way to do this that will allow us to share all the music, and have our own podcasts? If not, how can I at least have a common podcast directory for all 3 of us.
    TIA

  • HT1926 Having Trouble Updating to iTunes 11 getting error Apple Mobile Device faiil to start

    Can't get iTunes 11 to install. I keep getting an Apple Mobile Device Failed to start error

    The frequently suggested repair steps listed in comments athttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926 did not work for me yesterday when I attempted for an entire day to fix this commonly reported problem with the newest iTunes update. I now realize that I overlooked one step listed in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
    My computer has a Windows 64 bit operating system. I should have  paid attention to this instruction:
    "If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, you'll need to confirm that the following folders have been removed:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Bonjour
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iPod\  "
    Tonight, I removed those previous version files from the Program Files (x86) directory and executed the rest of the steps listed. Success resulted. If you are struggling like I did to install the iTunes newest update on a Windows 64 bit operating system, you might benefit to recheck that you followed the instruction listed above.
