Import Button Gone

I used to be able to connect to another computer on my network with Home Sharing and drag and drop songs from one machine to another, or I could hit an import button. I haven't done this in a while but today this functionality has disappeared, I can't drag, I can't find the import button. Both computers are authorized and Home Sharing is active. If I recall there used to be a window that looked like this (not my pic): http://gigapple.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/home-sharing-2.png
But I can't seem to get the lower controls to open. What gives?

  • I'm having trouble transfering bookmarks from Safari to Firefox. File, "Import" button is grayed out. I've gone through your trouble shooting, the database for imports is no longer current.

    I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have the latest version of Firefox 5.0. I'm over Apple's Safari, and I'd like to transfer my bookmarks into Firefox. I've gone through your help and support section and found an article that could help me. However, when I click File, the "import" button is grayed out. Which prevents me from importing bookmarks into your browser. So I drug the Firefox icon into the recycle bin, and hit empty trash, then re-downloaded the firefox software from your site, and it seemed to remember my old bookmarks from a year ago. The file, "import" button was still grayed out, so I couldn't update my entire new list of bookmarks onto your web browser.

  • Since downloading iTune10.4.1 I can't import from shared libraries. The import button is gone.

    The show menu and import buttons are no longer at the bottom of the iTunes window when i am accessing a shared library since the last iTunes upgrade. Has any one else had this problem and, more importabtly, how do you fix it?

    I have the same exact problem! I can go into between the shared libraries and see them, however there is no "Show" dropdown menu on the bottom or Import button on the bottom!! Why is this???
    Thanks
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

  • HT4527 There is no import button at the bottom right corner of iTunes 11... please help as this is really frustrating

    I followed the instructions, the account is authorized, I can see the tracks from my iMac on my MacBook, and I can play the songs, search the songs, etc...
    But once the songs are selected, there is no "Import" button at the bottom right of iTunes.
    What do I do from here, in order to transfer tracks from iMac to MacBook?

    Do you see "Home Sharing" on both your iMac and MacBook?  Is Home Sharing all set up?  Have you gone through each one of the ten steps in the "Home Sharing" section of the article you attched?  Are you looking for the "Import" button on your MacBook?

  • Import button not showing for home sharing

    We have home sharing turned on.  I have made sure all computers have home sharing turned on.  I've downloaded the most recent versions of iTunes to all computers.  I've turned home sharing off and on as indicated through "help".  My iTunes will show the other Library, however, the import button is not visible and there also used to be a button that would show only what was not in my library, which is gone as well.  Also, in "help" is says you can drag songs from one library into yours.  Also, not working.
    Surely, someone else has experienced this problem.  How do you fix it???

    Are you sure you are using Home Sharing and not Sharing.

  • Having a problem with "open" and "import" buttons!

    Hello all,
    I am having some trouble with a basic function in Logic. When I go to "file" and select "import," the window of options appears. However, when I select a file and click the "import" button, literally nothing happens. I have had a similar problem, when I go to the "file" menu and select "open." A window will appear for me to browse to the logic file I want to open, but when I click "open," nothing happens. However, if I manually go to the file and double-click it, then the file will open. The drop-down is set to "All logic document types," though I have tried "all Logic songs" with the same problem. Please help!
    Best,
    Jon

    you know whats funny, this project has to do with arrays of objects and not inheritance. We learned inheritance last week but the lab we are doing which is this, is for arrays of objects. sorry for the confusion lol. so you can completely ignore this, it actually has it in big bold letters at the top of the web page for the lab.

  • I am trying to home share with my sister. I have it down to where I can copy the songs, but I just don't have the "import" button. So it won't allow me to do anything with the songs from her computer. What should I do now?

    I am trying to home share with my sister. I have it down to where I can copy all the songs I want, but it won't allow me to import them because my iTunes doesn't show the "import" button at the bottom. So what do I do now?

    I have reinstalled the drivers. I watched it install the realtec and cirrus drivers. Hovering the mouse over the speaker icon says 'speakers: HP'. They are actually 'Creative'. 'Properties' indicates 'IDT High Definition CODEC' and 'This device is working correctly'.
    Driver details gives 'c:\Windows\system32\drivers\dmk.sys'.
    There is still no sound, although the little level meter on the control shows a green bar rising and falling.
    Obviously, it thinks it's working, but there's no connection to the speakers. They're not muted, either. I checked that too.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks.

  • Where on earth has the wish list purchase button gone?

    Where on earth has the iTunes wish-list purchase button gone?

    There is no "buy" button.  It only lists sharing with a friend or posting it on social media.  I have no idea how to buy songs in my wish list.
    It does not actually say "Buy."  You just click on the price.

  • When I use Home sharing, I can see the library I want to copy, but when I highlight the library, the import button does not show up. Also, it will not let me drop and drag. How do I get music from one computer to the other computer?

    When I use Home Sharing, I can see the library I want to copy under Shared, but I can't get it save on the computer under the regular library. I go to edit and "select all" but there is no import button that is in the right hand corner. Also, it will not let me click and drag the music. How do I get it from one computer to the other?

    Since both computers are connected via the network, you could simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from one computer to another via the network.
    If both computers are running Windows, use the Easy File Transfer Utility built into Windows to move iTunes and all other user media/data.

  • HT4527 I want to move all my iTunes from old PC to new PC but Home Sharing on both and it works.  At Step 11, I clicked Home Sharing Import button doesn't work.

    Help!  I want to move all my iTunes music, podcasts, etc. from an old PC to a new PC. I set up Home Sharing on both and it works.  I followed the steps in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 to the letter.  At Step 11, I clicked on Home Sharing on my new PC, then Edit > Select All so I could then import everything to the new computer.  No matter what I try, the Import button doesn't work.  There are two buttons on the lower right hand side of the iTunes screen - one for Settings and one for Import.  The Settings button is clickable but the Import button isn't even live.  In other words, I can see it but not click on it.  I have double-checked my firewall and it is not the problem.  How can I get the Import button to work? 

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

    Do you have scroll bars enabled in the System Preferences > General tab (MacOS X 10.7 or later)?
    Try, if setting this to "Show scroll bars > Always" will bring your scrollbar back.

    I have been using Lightroom 5 for 2-3 months now and all worked well, up until today's effort to import a new set of photos. I am working on a Mac with Yosemite 10.10.1.

    Go to the bibliothec module, select the folder, right click on the folder and hit synchronize

    There is no need to import anything or use Home Sharing.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer, everything will be exactly as it was.

  • I'm trying to import some Hi8 into FCPX via a Canon GL2.  Although the footage shows up in the import window, it says "Camera not controllable".  The manual import button does activate, but footage is not actually being imported.  Any ideas?  Thanks

    I'm trying to import Hi8 into FCPX via a Canon GL2.  Although the footage appears in the import window, it says camera not controllable.  The manual import buttons activate, but the footage is not actually importing.  Any ideas?  Thanks so much.

    What Tom said.
    Or you may be able to import using a different program - try with Quicktime Player, "New Movie Recording". If the camera appears as an option, it should work.
