ITunes compatability v 10 + v11 in shared NAS

I have moved all my music files to a Western Digital Network drive. This drive runs as a iTunes server.
I have sourced the files from a Mac (OS 10.5.8) running iTunes v10 , and a Mac (10.6.8) running iTunes v11, two Windows 7 PCs running iTunes v11. I have followed the instructions as to copying files to the correct location on the WD drive, and set iTunes server "ON".
When I start either versions v10 and v11, only the v11 music files can be found in the "Shared" sidebar, under the network drive name.
I cannot update iTunes on the mac (OS 10.5.8) as there is no updates available.
Does this mean that v11 music files have been altered to work with the new version, and the v10 files are now orphans????
Or maybe a problem with the WD drive iTunes server????

I now have a Mybook live where Itunes from both mac and PC runs OK to Itunes server in HDD. However it took about 7 days for Itunes server to publish Itunes 10 music files.
My Mybookworld just spins and spins when trying to connect.
I contacted WD and got this response.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, we will be more than glad to assist you with this issue. Please keep in mind that in order for you to use the iTunes server on your My Book Live you must use the iTunes version 10.2 or earlier, please see the links below for more information:

  • Finder doesn't display contents of shared NAS

    I recently upgraded my NAS to the latest version and since then I cannot access the NAS in the usual way from any Mac. The Macs are Macbook Pro 2.4 duel core OSX 10.7.5 and iMac 3.2 i3 10.6.8. The NAS is a STORA 2110.
    I can connect using the Stora application or using Go - Connect to server - smb://STORA then choose the partitions to mount and I can see the files on MyStora.
    If I select Stora from the left hand side of the Finder window under SHARED, I says status is connected but it doesn''t show any files. It spins and spins.
    I think this is something to do with how apple speaks to linux/windows...
    You may wonder what the problem is as I can see it, well I have 27,000 songs on the Stora that have been added to iTunes from the old way, the shared connection, and iTunes cant see them when I connect using the Go - Connect to server... connection. I think because the path to the Stora is different for each connection.
    I'm happy to have a work around if it is the path?
    HELP!

    As it turns out, spotlight indexing for some strange reason has been turned off for my HD.
    Is it really possible, that "sudo mdutil -avE" only deletes the file, and that a new one isn't automatically created? Anyways using Spotless revealed that indexing was actually turned off for my HD, and enabling was just a click. The throbbing dot and all that came to life after e few seconds.
    Actually I think it may have been turned off every since i upgraded to 10.6 - and I've just lived with it, and concluded, that Spotlight had become slow in 10.6 and instead I just used Quicksilver. No wonder it was slow when it didn't have an index!

  • 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.

  • How can a parent restrict a child's access to a PARENT'S PRE-EXSISTING iTunes account via iCloud's Family Sharing Program?

    How can a parent restrict a child's access to a PARENT'S PRE-EXSISTING iTunes account via iCloud's Family Sharing Program?  To explain further... I have a young son who is on my iCloud family sharing program... I am excited to be able to share SOME of my music in my iTunes library, but there are some songs and music videos that are not age appropriate for him and currently there is no way to restrict him from viewing and downloading anything off of my iTunes library.  Yes, I suppose I can delete the songs he shouldn't have access to, but I don't think I should have to do that... I paid for them and still like them and listen to them while I work out or am without my kids.  Is there a way for me to personally select which songs/videos I would like to "hide" from my children in an effort to shield them from inappropriate content?

    Hello ggg39,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you have some content in your iTunes library that you would like to restrict access for the child set up on Family Sharing with you. To do this, you can set restrictions on the child’s device as described in the attached article. 
    Family Sharing - Apple Support
    Now kids under 13 can have their own Apple IDs. As a parent or legal guardian, the family organizer can create an Apple ID for a child and add the child to the family group automatically. Ask to Buy is turned on by default, and the organizer can also limit the content kids have access to on their devices through Restrictions on an iOS device or parental controls in OS X and iTunes.
    For more information on restrictions and how to set them up, please reference the next attached article. 
    About Restrictions (parental controls) on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Have a great day,
    Joe

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • I SET UP THE HOME SHARING ON MY COMPUTER, AND i CAN STREAM MY PHOTOS AND SEE ALL THE VIDEOS AND LISTEN SONGS IN MY ITUNES, BUT CAN NOT DO HOME SHARING, ON THE TV, ALWAYS SHOWS "TURN ON HOME SHARING ON YOUR OMPUTER WITH YOUR ID WHICH I DID BUT NOTHING HELP

    I just bought my apple tv yesterday and SET UP THE HOME SHARING ON MY COMPUTER, I CAN STREAM MY PHOTOS AND SEE ALL THE VIDEOS AND LISTEN SONGS IN MY ITUNES, BUT CAN NOT DO HOME SHARING, ON THE TV, ALWAYS SHOWS "TURN ON HOME SHARING ON YOUR OMPUTER WITH YOUR ID WHICH I DID BUT NOTHING HAPPEN. WHAT'S WRONG? WHAT SHALL I DO NOW?

    I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem.  The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6.  (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
    So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
    You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
    Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

  • I store my itunes library on an external drive shared between 2 computers and itunes on computer A isn't seeing or showing the songs I added using itunes on computer B.

    I store my itunes library on an external drive shared between 2 computers and itunes on computer A isn't seeing or showing the songs I added using itunes on computer B. How to fix this?

    I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
    it is.
    is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
    i wouldn't - at least not until i
    mount the external
    point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced
    consolidate my library via file > library > organize library
    The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
    in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

    I cannot find the video that I added to the iPad. I looked in iPhoto and the camera roll. Any ideas? (BTW, this is a video which I previously had on the iPad but deleted and now I want to add it back.)

    Thanks for your reply. I looked in the Video app but it is empty. When I connect the iPad to iTunes on the iMac and look in  Apps > File Sharing > iPhoto, the video that I added is in iPhoto on the iPad but I cannot actually find the video in iPhoto on the iPad.

  • Where do photos go when shared to iTunes on iPhone on Windows?  iTunes under Apps shows somethings been shared based on the size, but there is nothing in the iTunes photo section, and it says 0 photos???

    I'm new to iPhoto, and I'm trying to figure out where sharing a photo to iTunes goes on the iPhone4 and/or Windows 8?
    The Windows iTunes App section indicates something was shared and has an appropriate date and size, but the photo part says 0 photos, which makes it a little hard to delete.
    Running the latest versions of iPhone, iPhoto, iTunes, and Windows.
    Thx

    Sharing to iTunes means the item is stored in the Individual app's file sharing area.
    When your iPad is connected to your computer and selected look for the Apps tab. Select that then scroll down. First there will be a list of all your apps. Scroll down below that to find a list of your apps that support file sharing. Select iPhoto and you'll find the files you have shared to iTunes. Copy or drag them to your computer and move them where you want them.
