ITunes 10.5 does not load shared library files

Since today's update to iTunes 10.5 from 10.4.1. iTunes can no longer access the shared music library I have on my iomega NAS disk. It sees the disk and lists it as a shared library, but when I click on the library it goes into an endless loading cycle. In the past it might take a minute or so to load the library, but since the update, iTunes never actually does load it.
There is no error message, not even an operation time-out. I can't see anything rrelevant in the console. It just goes on for ever trying to load the shared library.
It was loading the shsred library just fine until this evening when the update downloaded.
Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem with a Buffalo Linkstation LS-WTGL/R1-V3 NAS and iTunes 10.5 on both Mac OS X 10.6.8 and Windows XP.
It's not quite an endless loop, though. It takes about 20 seconds, then the song listing flashes briefly on the screen but goes immediately to the local Music listing in the Library. If I right-click on the NAS's entry and choose "Open in a New Window", the window opens, shows the barber pole throbber for about 20 seconds, then closes, again going back to the local Music listing.
There's about 117GB in the iTunes Music folder on the NAS.
This worked fine under iTunes 10.4.x.

  • ITunes help page does not load

    Greetings,
    Ever since updating to iTunes 10, the help page does not load. It's blank. If I click the home menu, I can switch to another app's help page just fine, but when I switch back to iTunes, it's blank.
    Also, if I enter a search term on the blank help page, it willreturn hits, but when I click on them, I again am left with a blank screen.
    BTW, the gear menu is a sticky menu (one click and it stays down) but the home menu I have to hold the mouse down. Not sure if that's normal behavior, but I thought I'd throw that out there too, just in case it's helpful.
    Help (with help)!

    It happens the same to me. But also when click in the topic link a warning shows up telling me I need internet connection to view that help topic.
    Of course I'm online and my connection works pretty well.
    I tried rebuild help files with Onyx but no help.
    Anyone resolved this issue?

  • Apple tv 3 does not see shared library with itunes 11.1.3$, apple tv 3 does not see shared library with itunes 11.1.3

    Hi,
    Since I have installed itunes 11.1.3 on my mybook with OS 10.6.8, my home shared library is not visible in the aoole tv 3 anymore.
    However, I can see it on another macbook with maverick installe on it.
    the apple tv 3 and the 2 macbooks are connected on the same networ. The apple tv3 and the mackbook with OS 10.6.8 are even directly connected with a a cable on the same router.
    Thanks for your help since I am 100% sure it came with this useless uograde of itunes.
    Thanks
    Jean-Pierre

    See this post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23934504#23934504
    The short of it all is that iTunes and/or Mac OS X Mavericks has broken some functionality in IPv6 or how iTunes home sharing is using it (I am leaning towards the latter as the iTunes team has a very bad habit of releasing bugs in the past).
    Disabling IPv6 will also fix this issue with iTunes 11.1.2+ on Windows.

  • ITunes does not load my library

    Hello I have MBP and I also have a Windows work machine that I built, I copies my itunes library from my MBP to my Windows machine (Windows 7). I recently upgraded my work machine with a 120GB SSD as a boot drive and kept my 1TB 7200RPM HDD as a data drive. When I reinstalled the itunes application and whent into Edit>Preferences>Advanced>F:\Users\[User name]\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media. Then I clicked "Organize itunes media" however once I close the prefence pane the library does not show up. Some more information is that F: is my data drive, and when i navigate through windows exploror to my media library and manualy play a song [by clicking on it in its folder] it opens in itunes and plays just fine, however since I have quite an extensive library and I do not want to to this for every song. Thank you.

    1. What version of Mac OS X is running on the Macbook. iOS is not a computer operating system.
    2. The iTunes app is in the Applications folder on the computer's hard drive.
    3. Double click the app in the Applications folder.
    When iTunes is running click Store in the menu bar. This will show a dropdown list. Select what you want from that list.

  • Ipad does not open shared library

    I have set up home sharing on my windows pc and ipad 4. I can see my shared library on my ipad but when I select it nothing happens. The icon changes into "thinking" and next itunes shuts down. So i cannot view and play the content of my shared library on my ipad. Also, my apple TV does not recognize my Ipad. The pc works fine with apple tv. Can anyone help me?

    This is a common problem. Using a different USB port may resolve the issue.

  • ITunes v8.1 does not export music library in plain text w/proper CR/LFs?

    Just an FYI...I can recreate this every time. Has anyone else tried and seen the same issue with the new v8.1? I never had this issue with the previous iTunes release. Thanks!
    The new iTunes v8.1 released yesterday does not export the music library in plain text with proper CR/LFs.
    To recreate this bug:
    Select Music from your library
    Go to File -> Library -> Export Playlist...
    Save as a Music.txt and view the output file.
    You will see a continuous single line that contains correct tab separations. However, the correct end of the subject headers in addition to each song (which should be it's own line) is missing proper CR/LFs to format the file correctly.

    Seeing it with 8.1 under 10.4.11 too.
    I was really hoping that 8.1 was going to fix the problem with text export mangling accented characters, not to keep that bug and add a major new one on top of it!

  • Itunes on iphone does not load

    Hopefully someone can help me with this issue I am having with my iPhone 5 and iOS 7.  When I first upgraded to iOS7 my iTunes would not load up on my phone.  I went into the restrictions, turned them all on, then back off.  I then tried iTunes on my phone again and it worked.  Now, after using iTunes on my phone everyday since, as of today, it is doing the same thing.  When I open iTunes on my phone, it shows the load icon at the top for a second, then stops.  Nothing will load.
    Any thoughts?

    Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer
    iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download

  • What do you do if itunes 10.7 does not load properly?

    i recently got the new Ipod touch 5th generation and i need to update my itunes for it but it wont let me update?? it downloads so far and then a message pops up that says "An error has occurred during the instalation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT.type="win32", version "8.0.50727.4053", publicKeyToken="1fc8b9a18e3b", processes Architecture="amd64" Pleas refer to Help and Support for more information" Any sugestions as to what i should do?

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

  • I have lost my iBooks and iTunes and iBooks does not load plus I cannot download anything from my app icon.does anyone know what the problem is.

    I cannot use iTunes or iBooks and my iBooks library is blank although I have purchased books in the past.  Also I cannot download anything from my app icon.  Has anyone experienced this and if so how do I correct.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
     Cheers, Tom

  • ITunes Store Interface does not load.

    Is anyone else seeing this in the iTunes Store? It is like all of the HTML in the interface has bad or broken links.

    "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. You do not have permission to access the requested resource.
    There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
    Same problem here. I've done the following things and had these (interesting) results:
    Things that have not gotten access to the store----------
    -Disabled firewall
    -Bypassed router and plugged PC right into DSL modem
    -Reinstalled iTunes
    -updated everything through my manufacturer's update program, windows update, and apple update
    -removing, then adding iTunes to firewall exception list
    -rebooting PC
    -launching store via a weblink
    Things that have gotten access to store-----------
    -used laptop over my home WiFi (same connection as desktop)
    -made a new Vista user and opened iTunes store with that user
    I cannot find anything useful on Apple's support portal. What really gets me is that my podcasts have stopped downloading!

  • Itunes 10.4 does not load properly..

  • ITunes festival 2012 does not load on Apple TV 3, Mac, iPad or PC.

    Apple support via email is no help at all. Anyone else have a solution for me please? I click on the concert on any device and nothing happens. Software is up to date, (that was all I got out of the Apple support team), thanks alot
    Can I just say that its pathetic how many people are having issues with the festival, and not getting support. Seriously Apple, get it together!!!
    Anyone got a suggestion please?

    if you pull the power to your modem and just have a LAN setup not connected to the internet then
    it's perfectly save to disable the firewall 100% and if it works then you know for sure that mcafee is the cause
    and then getting info about how one get it to open ports will likely have higher success rate at macafee's forum

  • Firefox 3: QuickTime Poster Movie does not load QT media file when clicked

    I have a video podcast website (thomasbrin.com) that uses the the Apple-provided JavaScript utility and the QTWriteOBJECTXHTML function call on each of my podcast episode webpages to automatically generate the proper object and embed tags. The page loads with a poster movie which, when a user clicks on, should connect to the podcast media file and begin playback.
    This coding technique works fine in Safari and IE but fails in Firefox. Instead, when a user clicks on the poster movie, nothing happens. No errors are generated, the webpage just remains unchanged.
    This issue came to my attention from a viewer of my video podcast. I loaded Firefox 3 and am having the same issue my viewer reported.
    You can visit this page to see the issue directly: http://www.thomasbrin.com/GOT3mov.html Load the page in Firefox 3 and click on the poster movie.
    I've verified that on my system the QuickTime plugin is properly installed and Javascirpt is enabled in Firefox.
    I have searched the Firefox and Apple support forums but have come up empty. Any ideas?

    Okay, problem solved. And, of course, it was a very simple solution.
    Baby Boomer, if you read this post would you please retest this page (http://www.thomasbrin.com/GOT3mov.html) in Camino and let me know if it works for you now.
    The issue with the Camino browser got me thinking about the differences between the Gecko rendering engine (used by Firefox, Camino, SeaMonkey, and more) and the WebKit rendering engine used by Safari. I realized that Safari may be better at inferring MIME types than Firefox et al. In other words, since the target file in my Javascript script is clearly a QuickTime file (it has a .mov extension after all), Safari implicitly assumes the correct MIME type. On the other hand, Gecko-based browsers may be more strict and require an explicit reference to a MIME type for certain media files (like QuickTime) to load properly.
    So, all I did was add an attribute pair to my script that declares the proper media MIME type and it works.
    Here's my old script (without the script tags):
    QTWriteOBJECTXHTML('BrinPoster2.jpg','640','376','',
    'HREF','http://www.thomasbrin.com/QTEncodings/GOT3NS.mov',
    'TARGET','myself',
    'CONTROLLER','False');
    Here's my new script (without the script tags):
    QTWriteOBJECTXHTML('BrinPoster2.jpg','640','376','',
    'HREF','http://www.thomasbrin.com/QTEncodings/GOT3NS.mov',
    'TARGET','myself',
    'TYPE','video/quicktime',
    'CONTROLLER','False');
    The explicit MIME type made the difference.

  • Itunes does not recognise my library

    I have my itunes library on a NAS. This morning I have tried to open Itunes and it does not recognise the library - it is asking me either to create a new library or to choose another library. When I try to link it to my existing library, I cannot select the library as it is greyed out.
    This very same thing happened a few weeks ago and at that point i decided to rebuild the library. I wondered if anyone knows if they have had a similar experience, or why it is happening?
    thanks

    I also am having this problem. It seems Apple has decided what's best for us, and your system will automatically switch the library location back to your hard drive on the MAC if it is unable to find the NAS library or if the NAS is turned off. This causes EXTREME frustration, because when you have TONS of music on your NAS, you then have to re-direct the library location back to the NAS manually, and it takes a LONG time for the MAC to reorganize the library. Plus if you inadvertantly loaded new music into your library after the location was moved back to your hard drive, you'll now have music in two different locations and consolitdating them is another huge time suck.
