Itunes and network

I have a network, a PC desktop and a macbook. I have used my desktop to download shows from the itunes store. I have successfully imported my music from the desktop to the macbook, but the shows won't play. I have authorized the macbook to play content, but it won't play any of the TV shows. Any one have ideas?

This might help...Before you start iTunes, open the hard drive that has your music on it though windows explorer or my computer. Once you get windows to 'see' the hard drive with the music, that might stop iTunes from resetting your music folder.
Good Luck, and post back to let me know if that worked.

  • Itunes and Networking

    I have an issue where I want to take itunes and it's library of music and apps from PC windows 7 A to pc windows 7 B, but instead of burning through a bunch of discs backing up the library I was wondering since they are on the same network, if there is anyway possible for me to do a type of transfer from PC A to PC B. I gave PC A to my boyfriend and he's constantly on it making my time to sync and add new apps limited when it would be so much easier to just do everything on PC B, the new computer with nothing from my IPOD TOUCH 2nd Gen, non MC model, with IOS 4.2.1. I'm pretty pc savvy but networking isn't my strongest area, I could use all the help I could get when it comes to this. Perhaps an email with step by step instructions sent to [email protected] or maybe even a phone call if someone is feeling kind enough to take a moment. The mechanics of this should work, but I could be wrong, just human Thank you so much for taking the time, who ever is reading this.

    basically, all you should need to do is to copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from PC A to PC B, replacing the iTunes folder in place on B.

  • ITunes and Network Folders

    I keep all my music on a Shared Folder (mapped drive letter e:\) on my NAS device. I am able to set it as the default location for my music in iTunes however, everytime I restart iTunes it defaults to my "My Music\iTunes" folder on my desktop.
    How can I make this perminent so that I am not storing music to a local machine vs my network share?

  • ITunes and Network Storage Issues

    I have 3 computers, all Vista, and have my ITunes Library on a NAS. When downloading music fron the ITunes Store on each computer, the new files are downloaded to the local machine, not to the NAS. What can be changed so that when anyone purchases a new song or app they are downloaded to the NAS, not the local machine, I know that each library is showing different song counts as the are not syncing properly with the NAS so we are all missing songs that each has downloaded.

    iTunes copies purchased tracks and ripped CDS into the iTunes Music folder as designated in the local computer's iTunes preferences.
    You could set the location of the iTunes folder to the NAS drive. This would copy the tracks there but not add them to the other PCs library database. That would have to be done manually from each PC.
    However you could take a look at a third party utility such as Tune Ranger:

    Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine.

    Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    when i try to update itunes and quicktime, it stops me and says " The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" please help.

    Before trying the update again, use Microsoft's Fix it solution at http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall. Use it to uninstall iTunes and Quicktime. It bypasses this not uncommon problem. When the solution finishes, the selected program will be uninstalled. It can take several minutes and I have seen as much as half an hour.
    After iTunes & Quicktime are uninstalled, try the update again.

  • I am trying to update iTunes and am getting an error message The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable

    Hi, I am trying to get help with an update install of iTunes. When I opened iTunes the other day, it told me there was an update to version 10.6.1. When I tried to install this version I received the following message " The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. I tried to uninstall iTunes, and it would not uninstall. It gave me the following message " The path C:\documents and settings\network service\local settings\application data\apple\apple software update\iTunes.msi cannot be found. I tried running Windows fixit, but this did not solve the problem. Can anyone tell me how to finish uninstalling the old iTunes file, so I can reinstall the newest version? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
    Regards, Paul
