Itunes 11, can't find shared library

Have to say.... so far I'm not very happy with itunes 11. A lot of what used to be intuitive is now cryptic.
I guess along that line...
I have a sizable library of music & vids on my main system that used to be easily accessible from my macbook's itunes. It simply showed up in the sidebar as a shared library. Nothing on the main system has changed. It's still set up for sharing....
How can I get itunes on my macbook to do what it used to do... to display shared libraries??????
Thanks.

  • ITunes 10 can't find my library

    Okay, I downloaded and installed iTunes 10 a coupla weeks ago.
    I am looking at my library via the List View. Everything is listed, however when I try to right-click and play something, it says that iTunes cannot locate the music and wants me to direct it to where the music is located. Problem is, I don't know where it is or why it was moved or why iTunes can't find it.
    Thanks for any advice you can offer.

    see if this can help:
    _*iTunes Track CPR v1.3*_
    This script attempts to locate the files of so-called "dead tracks"--iTunes tracks designated with (!)--that you assume are not actually missing but are still located in the iTunes Music folder in their "iTunes File Order" (Music -> Artist -> Album -> file.xxx)."

  • ITunes Home Sharing help - can't find shared library

    1st-time setup.  Enabled Home sharing on "old" and "new", and successfully imported 7 songs onto "new".  Now Shared menu item on left-hand panel is gone.  Apple help says to turn off/on sharing - doesn't help.

    If the other computer you're trying to access has timed out or off you cannot access it.  I'm not sure if that is what is going on just thought I would offer that help.

    I have updated with pacman -Syu and installed libsasl. I tried enabling the testing repositories, but I don't think it found a newer version (not 100% sure about this but it is still broken). pacman -Qi libsasl returns:

    Seems to me samba's looking for an older version of libsasl, but I'm not sure which one to downgrade to - or if that's even the right solution.
    I found some info in this topic but I still can't figure out how to get so.2: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1272906 I did notice that my libsasl was built a day after the one in that thread; maybe they changed something?
    Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    But smbd is linked to a lot of libs from smbclient. If one of those libs is linked to libsasl2.so.2, you would get this same error.
    Check it out, smbd isn't linked directly to libsasl at all. objdump -x /usr/bin/smbd | grep NEEDED

    You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
    You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
    There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.

  • I installed the upgrade and now itunes can't find my library and doesn't recognize my devices. Using Windows 7. Any help?

    Help!!! I installed the 10.5 update and now itunes can't find my library or recognize my devices. Running on Windows 7.

    For moving your iTunes library, I recommend this method...
    Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
    If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...

    If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location.

  • Itunes can't find music library on computer

    Somehow I've moved my music on my computer and itunes cannot find any of it. I can't play anything on the computer, an exclamation point is next to it and the computer tells me itunes cannot find the music. Help! What did I do and how do I fix this? Where should my library be saved? It's currently under itunes folder in my music... is there somewhere else it should be?

    I have the exact same problem and came here looking for an answer. Does anyone have one?!? I am so frustrated. All my music is on my computer and has not been moved yet iTunes suddenly can't find it and I am so mad right now!! When I went to update my iPod with the one new song I bought from iTunes it deleted EVERYTHING except my purchased music and now it can't find anything. WE're talking 500+ songs and I am really upset so I hope someone here has an answer!!

  • Hard drive packed up, but had Time Machine backup. I installed new sad and upgraded to Mountain Lion., but I can't find iPhoto library and photos or iTunes songs? Is there an answer to this?  Graham

    Hard drive packed up, but had Time Machine backup. I installed new ssd and upgraded to Mountain Lion, but I can't find iPhoto library and photos or iTunes songs? Is there an answer to this?  A backup run did not install either photos or songs. Graham

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
    Thank you for your help and replying to this.  Guess I made my own issue!

  • I am trying to sync songs from itunes to my ipad and can't find my library on my ipad.

    I am trying to sync songs from itunes to my ipad and can't find my library on my ipad.  Can you help?

    Where are you looking on the iPad ? Your synced music (and that which you download from iTunes directly on the iPad) should go into the Music app

  • I've downloaded an audiobook from my local public library and have already listened to it.  It still shows up on my IPod, but when I sync with iTunes, I can't find it our delete it.  Please advise?

    I've downloaded an audiobook from my local public library and have already listened to it.  It still shows up on my IPod, but when I sync with iTunes, I can't find it our delete it.  Please advise?

    Sometimes simply restarting your iTunes, the computer and the iPad is all that it takes to correct an issue like this so try that. Quit iTunes, reboot your computer, and restart the iPad. Then try the sync again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Remote can't find the library

    Hi everyone,
    Have the same problem since I updated iTunes to version 9 (and sup.) and iPhone OS to versi

    Sorry my post has been cut...
    So, I have this problem since I updated iTunes to version 9 (and sup.) and iPhone OS to version 3 (and sup.).
    I can enter the code on iTunes, then after telling me I can remote control my iTunes from my iPhone, I cannot connect and allways have the same message "can't find the library".
    What I've already done :
    completely reinstall my computer
    deactivate Windows firewall and Base Filtering Engine, then restart it
    deactivate my router firewall
    deactivate any filter on my router, then reboot it
    delete Remote from my iPhone, reboot it, then reinstall Remote, and reboot again
    activate library share on iTunes
    activate public folders share on Windows
    remove sim card to be sure to use wifi, and only wifi
    enter the 4 digits code on iTunes (worked)
    still the same message on iPhone : can't find the library
    I've seen many posts saying that the computer needs to been wifi connected, and not via Ethernet. Is it true ??? It perfectly worked with older versions of these programs, why would Apple have made a change like this ??
    Anyone with an idea?
    Thx

    It sounds like you essentially have a new computer and unless you restored from a backup your iTunes library would be empty.  You can transfer your iTunes purchases from your iPod to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    SInce you changed syncing computers. after you move the stuff you need to restore the iPod to factory defaults and sync the stuff back to your iPod.  If you had the iPod backup file you could restore from backup.
    If you have non-iTunes pruchases you can copy them to your computer by using one of the third-party programs discussed in this previous discussion:
