I am unable to access one of the iTunes libraries through home sharing

I have 3 computers in my home and we all share music. However suddenly I am not able to access one of the libraries from the other computers. This was never an issue before. What happens is when I click on the library that is giving problems it shows like it is loading the library and then it goes back to the library for the computer that was trying to access the other one. The home sharing is enable and the latest version of iTunes is running. Any suggestions?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

  • I have 2 itunes libraries on my macbook, but can only access one. The itunes library file for the inaccessible library is subdued and won't open. Help?

    When I select "Choose Library" the itunes library file is subdued.  I copied the library file off of Time Machine and put it back in itunes, but it remains subdued.  I'm running OS X 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.4.1. Help?

    I too had this problem and have solved it. After upgrading to iTunes 10.4.1 (Running OS X 10.6.8) I could no longer select library files. Previously, I would launch iTunes with the option key down to trigger the "Choose Library" dialog box. I have three libraries, each of them stored in separate iTunes folder within my user:music folder. I would then double-click on a given folder to open it and then double-click on the library file. After the 10.4.1 upgrade the library files were grayed out (not selectable). The problem was resolved by changing what and how I selected. When the three iTunes folders were displayed I clicked once on a folder to select it (instead of double-clicking to open it) and then clicked the "open" button in the dialog box. This resulted was iTunes launched with the library file contained in that folder.

  • HP Envy dv4t (Windows 8) can't pick up Dell's (Windows Vista) iTunes library through home sharing, but the Dell can pick up HP's

    I just got an HP Envy dv4t and it runs windows 8. My desktop, which is a Dell windows vista has all of my music on it. I'm trying to use home sharing between the two, but my HP won't pick up my dell's library, but my dell will pick up my HP's. I've tried everything imaginable and still no luck. At first, my HP would pick up my Dell library but it wouldn't load. Now it doesn't even have the library under Home Sharing. Please help!

    I have been having exactly the same problem with my Fujitsu vista running desktop and my new Toshiba running windows 8

  • IPhones can't access Home Sharing w/ One Computer & Multiple iTunes Libraries

    I have a Mac Pro that I am using as a iTunes media server for my home entertainment network. This computer has two user accounts. Each user account has it's own iTunes Library. One is for my kid's movies and the other is for my wife and I's movies. I have both of the libraries setup for Home Sharing and for the most part this works perfectly for viewing with Apple TV and the laptops that we have. Both libraries are available for use on these devices.
    Where I am having trouble is with iPhones. My wife and I have iPhone 6s and when we open the Videos app it shows that only one library is available. Her phone might show the kid's library as available and mine will show the other library or visa versa. The libraries are not available at the same time on our iPhones. As I stated, our other devices are fine and are able to access each library when desired.
    As an example, Jack's Library & Jane's Library are available under shared, seen in the inserted image. In my situation, only one of the libraries would be available even though both libraries are setup for Home Sharing.
    I have tried the following (none resolved the issue):
    Close/Re-Open iTunes
    Turning Home Sharing off/on for each of the iTunes Libraries
    Turning Home Sharing off/on for each of the iPhones
    De-Authorize/Re-Authorize my Mac Pro
    Reboot Mac Pro

    Home Sharing is for something else - sharing media between 2 computers, not one.
    There aren't any instructions for home sharing for two accounts on one computer, because you can only have itunes open in one windows user account at a time.
    What you need to know about is *How to share music between different accounts on a single computer*

  • I am unable to access information from the internet as I am unable to install the lastest adobe flash player that is now required.  Can you please help?

    I am unable to access information from the internet as I am unable to install the lastest adobe flash player that is now required.  Can you please help?

    I fould a hack that makes the sites think you have the latest (Intel) version of Flash installed. So I installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari. Here's the info.
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • Unable to access one or more accounts message

    I keep getting an alarm sound with the message displayed on the main unit that said "Unable to access one or more accounts" . I got it about 3 or 4 times a day, and don't know what it was about. Could someone help me on this. I would appreciate it very much.

    t this too from my email account. I'm not surprised as I've never managed to get this email account to actually work from the device!
    Come to that the best I've ever done is get it to down load mail, think that was the N900 not the N5800, have never got it to send!
    Sorry no help to you OP but at least your not alone!

    Reinstalling might not have reset Preferences, so try that.

  • HT5498 Using the 30 pin adapter unable to access music on the car

    Using the 30 pin adapter from mini iPad unable to access music in the car

    30 pin adapte connected to what exactly?
    Also iPads are not normal MP3 players, as such they don't have a regular file system the car media center can read to get music files.
    You may be able to play the music through bluetooth if the car supports it. Or have the iPad send the music, but the Car media center will likely not be able to actually index the files in it.

  • Unable to access calendar, because the web service is configured incorrectly

    When attempting to access my web based calender I recieve the following error, "Unable to access calendar, because the web service is configured incorrectly." I have both the web service and iCal server configured to use SSL.
    Thanks for any help

    I have the same problem, with a temporary solution :
    http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=111059
    In the Server Admin - iCal Server Settings page there's a place where you specify the ports to be used, 8008 without SSL and 8443 (? out of my memory, not sure) for SSL.
    The issue was caused because left of the SSL port I selected "redirect" instead of "use".
    After I changed that it worked right away.

  • Can you access and store two itunes libraries on one computer?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes but you may run into issues if you want them both to run iTunes Match or automatic downloads.

  • Can't access one tab in iTunes U account

    We have an instructor who is using iTunes U to have students submit files in several different categories. Her site has tabs for each category, and as of yesterday evening, no one can access one of the tabs. Clicking on it produces the "Could not complete the iTunes Store request. The store may be busy." message. I found an old discussion (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2026539?start=0&tstart=0) that makes me think a student may have uploaded a file that is causing the problem, but as I can't access the tab, I can't see what's been uploaded. Our iTunes U admin is in training all day, but she did indicate that when she checked last night, she could see all of the files for the tab in the Upload/Manage area, but she can't tell which file might be causing the problem.
    Does anyone have a suggestion for what might be causing this behavior, or what we can try to do to fix it?
    Thanks!

    When you select the Apps tab for your iPad sync preferences, nothing is available below even the option to select Sync Apps?
    Was this available before and this is a recent change? It must have been available before if you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPad sync preferences which is the only place where you can select Sync Apps for your iPad sync preferences.
    Do you have Restrictions enabled on your iPad and if so, is installing apps selected as a restriction?

  • HT5699 I forgot the answers for security questions, how can I reset them and get the access back to the iTunes store?

    Need help to get access to iTunes store. I bought an iTunes card bor buying on iTunes store.
    I forgot the answers for security questions, how can I reset them and get the access back to the iTunes store?

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
