ITunes 7.0.1, Still cannot share library

Even with the latest update, I still cannot share my library between my Windows PC and my PowerPC iBook. I've never had a problem with this before on previous versions of iTunes before the nightmare that is iTunes 7.
I have turned off all firewalls including the built in Windows firewall (it was off anyway) and I still get the firewall error message. The Windows version gives me a variety of error codes. The PowerPC version just tells me I need to open the non-existant firewall to port:_. It lists no port number.
(OH, and BTW the first thing my Mac did after installing the new "stability" update 7.0.1 was to CRASH iTunes)
I am using an Airport Express for this....do I need to do something special in my Airport setup?
Anyone fixed this issue?

This is a problem that Apple is not addressing. There are several discussion threads on this. My sharing, like yours, worked perfectly with Itunes 6 and stopped as soon as I upgraded to 7. Version 7.0.1 does not fix the problem. I have turned off the Windows firewall on both machines and still get that error message. For some reason, we are not on Apple's radar. Here are a few threads on this topic:

Cannot share library in itunes

Cannot share Itunes library after switching from ATT 2Wire router/modem to Comcast Xfinity Internet service (Arris TG862G router/modem).

Any advice appreciated.

Fantastic, your information was spot on. I was able to disconnect from the old primary library and then recreate my new Mac as the new primary library as I was wanting to do.
Thanks again very much for making the effort to help me

Cannot share library... "must deauthorize other computer". I don't have another computer to deauthorize?

I recently replaced my Dell desktop, wherre I had originally downloaded my itunes. Purchased a Mac book and authorized to share music... no problem. Just downloaded itunes onto new dell (which holds the main itunes library) and attempted to 'share' library with another home laptop computer but get a message that says 'five computers authorized, must deauthorize computer'. Problem is, I no longer have the original dell to deauthorize and I just have another authorization on the mac book.
How can I deauthorize a computer I no longer have?

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

In imovie 5.0.2 permissions are in the way of me sharing a finished movie to full resolution. i use the disc utility to repair permissions and still cannot "share" the finished movie. i repaired my drive and it is clean. the movie has audio from utube

i am having difficulties sharing my imovie 5.0.2 file. it stops short with the note that permissions or drive space are causing the problem. i repaired the permissions and my drive has 3x the needed space and ran a osx repair of the drive. in my movie there are 50s and 60s audio segments from utube. i have an imac g5. i did the library and put those folders on my desktop also, like the following, com.apple.iMovie8.plist

Morning JJFH,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If after setting up Home Sharing, you cannot access your shared iTunes library over your home network from your Apple TV, take a look at this article:

Best of luck,

I just found that I can't Sync my Iphone either and it gave the same error code.... it must be a ITunes problem.

This is the third time of writing this on your Apple Support Communities!
Not with your current user id.
Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
Let's start with iTunes.
Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

By the way, what does IOS mean? (I thought IO stood for operating system, but am flummoxed by the S on the end.
Really?
OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.

I made a new playlist on ituns and changed the format to MPS, but I still cannot get it moved to my SD in that format...help?

Ok, so you said you've already right clicked on each song and "created a MP3 version?"
If so sort the library's music by "Date Added (if it is not there right click on the other sort bars and add the column "Date Added". The mp4 versions are the ones in the playlist. You will have to find the newly added mp3s by sorting by Date Added. Hope this helps!

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works. Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up. Try them again.
Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp. Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp. Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.
Kep trying.

My problems started with an error 50 message when trying to download bought films. After un-installing and downloading iTunes, a number of times, I still cannot open iTunes on my PC and keep getting the message "you do not have permission to open"

I have removed all spyware, anti virus software and removed all iTunes programs - as suggested by Apple. I still cannot open iTunes on my PC because of the message "you do not have permission to open this file, folder"
I have changed and checked all permissions to allow this but still get the same message.
iTunes is located on my C drive and I now do not have the neccesary permissions to open it.

Hey Chris-
It has been some time since you posted this message and I see you haven't gotten any replies, but I have the same issue and I was wondering if you figured out how to resolve it. Hopefully you were able to figure it out.

Since years, my wife and I are sharing one Apple computer. On this, we both have an individual user account. Each of us has an own iTunes Account and an own individual media library. Why is this setup now blocked by Apple? Cannot download purchased music.

Since years, my wife and I are sharing one Apple computer. On this, we both have an individual user account. Each of us has an own iTunes Account and an own individual media library. Each of us is using an own individual iPhone, which we frequently update with our iTunes Accounts. We have had this setup for years. It was convenient, reliable and user friendly, since we both could download what we wanted, create playlists, etc. without impact on the other. Exactly this convenience has made me and my wife real Apple fans, so that we also wanted to convince our daughter to move from Android and PC to our easier Apple setup.
Since a few weeks, this setup does not work anymore. From Apple Support (online chat on Apple.at) I was not told that this is not supported any more. Every computer is only allowed to be connected to one iTunes account. From one perspective (sharing music across other users as an act or media piracy, etc.) I can somehow understand this. However, since we are using different user accounts on this computer, I do not have access to other user´s iTunes media and could not play, download or copy it. So what is the point in this?
This now means, that my wife and I are only allowed to download individually purchased music with our personal iTunes accounts only with an interval of 90 days, so every on of us 2 times a year!
Was I incorrectly informed by the Apple support? If so, how can I solve the problem? Or is this really a new policy by Apple? If so, what is the reason? Am I expected to purchase a Mac for my wife, my daughter, myslef and for the three smaller kids to follow soon?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, if Apple simply allowed people to log into different accounts and download content, everyone would be using everyone could share everyone else's content and bypass the need to purchase anything. To protect against this, they limit you to logging into a new account to once every 90 days.
If two or more of you, have different accounts and use only one computer, you should each have your own user account on the computer, to avoid the need to log in and out of iTunes.

I - STILL - Cannot connect to the Itunes Store

I am unable to connect to the Itunes store, I could connect to the radio stations, I checked the SSL and TSL setting under Internet Explorer Options, Not using proxy or any Computer based firewall, and on my router firewall I tried opening up ports 53, 5353, 443 and 3689, and even tried DMZ the box, but for no use... I still cannot connect to the store, and frankly, it is getting ridiculous. Can anyone help? maybe the neededs ports or something...

I don't think it is a firewall issue as the connection attempts were not blocked according to the network connectivity report.
These ones have been tricky to solve.
As a first stab, one thing you could try is to create a new Windows account and see if you can connect from there.
P.S. I noticed that the date on the report is not the same as the date of your post. This may just be when your ran the report, but it is worth checking your computer's date and time are correct.
You could also check the Advanced tab in your Internet options. If "Check for server certificate revocation" is checked. If it is, try unchecking it.
