ITunes Home Sharing library will not open

When I click on my sisters library ybder Shared it disapears. It does not open or load so I cannot download songs she has in her library. Now, when I open my itunes the shared section of the side bar is not even showing up. Please help!

Hi!, I hope my english still works and helps you: using Home sharing I have same issue on my 2 machines (iMac PPC with 10.5 & Macbook PRO intel with 10.6) and the HDD on first machine was partitioned and iTunes's library was copied on 2nd partition. Well, now the "old" iMac PPC reads and copies all library from Macbook, but not vice-versa so both libraries must be in the Home directory.
Hoping to be a help, I wish you a happy new year!

HT1420 My Itunes Library will not open at all. the icon will spin when i click on it but it won't open

My Itunes Library will not open at all. When I click on Itunes the icon spins and nothing will pull up.

Try resetting your device. Hold down the sleep and home keys, ignoring the red power down slider, and release the buttons when you see hte silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
You won't lose any data, it's juat the apple equivalent of 'control/alt/delete' and often clears up glitches

Itunes Library will not open!!!!! itunes Library will not open!!!!!

Hello,
This is very frustrating that hundreds of people view these questions and only a few people answer. The issue here is that my itunes Library will not open. I'd sure like to know what is causing this and if it's gone forever.
WinXP. Pro.
I have many Mp3 music files under the same playlist names as in my ipod, i:e: Country,Jazz,Blues,Classic Rock, Alternative,vocal,light sounds,etc. When I drag new mp3 music files into my ipod library,then sync to my ipod, Itunes makes a backup of itune music files in their folder..I think. Anyway, those mp3 muic files are still on the Hard drive,but I can not open up my itunes Library. is it Gone????
Sooooooooooooooo...I was slap-happy in upgrading my itunes software for my 80GB fith gen ipod for the kick of it. I downloaded the new updates.then tried to open my itunes library and it wouldn't open...I hooked up my Ipod thinking that may help open up the Library,but nothing.
I tried the system restore,nothing. I uninstalled itunes,then reinstalled the itunes/quicktime download from apple. I clicked on the itunes icon on the desktop a few times and then a few times more,nothing. I guess I'm missing the itunes.ink file to open this up. regardless, I went to the Windows/Start/programs/itunes...nothing again. Windows Explorer/C:/ program files/itunes...nothing.
I was afraid when I uninstalled the itunes software from before,it would erase the itunes Library,but the music is still on my hard drive,I just can't open the itunes Library. At this point,I should buy an external hard drive and transfer all my Mp3 files and the itunes music files/podcasts/photos,wipe the hard drive,reinstall the O.S. and start all over again.
I'm guessing I am out of options with this itune Libray. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jim

Still unanswered. I'm still trying to install itunes so I could use the library. I am removing Mp3 files from my hard drive to free up space,so if I ever do get the itunes setup,I'll have to remove the SYNC and do the manual so I ONLY transfer Podcasts into the ipod and not lose them becuase of the unchecked boxes.
Ok, I uninstalled EVERYTHING that has to do with Itunes/ipod from the computer..Add/remove programs, serch all files/folders,Windows Explorer,Start>All programs,the Itune reference. Turned off all my Firewall,spyware,and anti-virus,,downloaded the new 7.5 version Itunes/ipod...saved to desktop,installed the new software...then NADA! NOTHING! I can click on the shortcut desktop icon, and all the other ways to click the software open, but nothing. peole on other sites reccomend Tag and rename and use the Winamp media Library,because of all the lack of personal customer support APPLE lacks. I guess I was a Big FOOL to spend my hard earned $350.00 for this ipod.

HT2311 Help! iTunes update 10.7 will not open: What to do??

Help! iTunes update 10.7 will not open: WHAT TO DO?
Recently I updated to Snow Leopard from 10.5.8 and then updated to 10.6.8. The recent update to itunes 10.7 has completely failed as iTunes fails to boot up and just send a message to Apple. So now I cannot access my music library. I tried deleting the new iTunes 10.7 and reinstalling iTunes 10.6.3 and also 10.3.1 with exactly the same result. I did the installation after turning off as many background software items as I could like Sophos Anti Virus and Little Snitch. This makes one want to give up on software updates - I have had an increasing number of failures as my machine gets to 5 years old.
Macbook:
Model: MacBook3,1, BootROM MB31.008E.B02, 2 processors, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.2 GHz, 4 GB, SMC 1.24f3
Graphics: Intel GMA X3100, GMA X3100, Built-In, 144 MB

OK - I have found my own fix in an older thread / discussion:-
iTunes 10 for Mac: May quit unexpectedly on launch
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3494
basically from home/Library/Quicktime one has to remove the file: DesktopVideoOut.component
Is this to do with Flip4Mac?

Shared library will not load

My Shared library will not load. I see it in the list, but when I click on it the status indicator runs for a while and then it just goes back to the local library.

I also have this problem. I have a mac running os snow leopard and my dad has a pc running windows vista. he has no problem taking my music via home share, but I cannot load his library. I click on his library and it loads for a little while and then bumps me back to my local library.

Itunes document manager pro will not open a document with .cwk extension. It will catch the document then error message states that it cannot open document. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

Itunes document manager pro will not open a document with .cwk extension. It will catch the document then error message states that it cannot open document. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

Forgive my ignorance but I have never hear of iTunes Document Manager Pro. If you mean Document Manager Pro, i was able to find that. Back to your problem, have you tried opening one of those files in the iOS iWorks apps? Form the quick read that I did about this, .cwk files can be opened by Pages, Numbers or Keynote, depending on what type of document that it is and those files can be read by Document Manager Pro, after properly saving them. I don't see that you can go directly from the .cwk file in Document Manager Pro without converting them first.
I took a very quick look at the app, so I may be a missing something about its capability.

I am trying to open some *.avi files in quicktime, they are from my security camera at home. It will not open them, would anyone be able to help me? It says I need a plugin but it does not tell me which one.

Basically your player is telling you that you need to install the codecs that will play the compressed data within the AVI file.
AVI is a legacy file container in which the tracks of data are interleaved to maintain synchronization. This data can be encoded using many different audio and video codecs. Your problem is to determine which codecs you need for the player you are trying to use and install them if they are available. Failing that, your will either have to play the files in a different player which has the codec support your require built into the app or convert the content to a compression format that is natively compatible with the player you wish to use.
Since you have not stated what platform, operating system, and particular player you are targeting for playback, it is difficult to provide precise instructions for fixing your specific problem at this point. Suggest you try alternative players compatible with your system and platform to see if they will play the files, use a dedicated media information utility to determine the codecs needed for playback, or post a sample file for analysis.

My aperture library will not open after restoring my whole computer after a kernal panic. I can not get the Aperture troubleshooting menu to open...any help?

My aperture library will not open after restoring my whole computer after a kernal panic. I can not get the Aperture troubleshooting menu to open...any help?

Leonie,
Fisrt let me thank you for your reply and assistance! So here is the problem with so more detail...I was not sure I was going to get any replies ; )
I restored from a time machine back up.
History of Failure:
I was trying to launch Aperture when the kernal panic occured. My computer had been closed, and asleep and the battery was dead. I plugged in charger and it was restoring/waking up after being asleep/shutting down from dead battery. I launched Aperture from the dock and as soon as it opened the kernal panic occured. After that the computer would not turn on. It would try to boot then it would shut off. I even tried to safe boot to no avail. I went to the Apple store and they told me that the only thing I could do was restore whole computer from back up. So thats what I did.
Since then my previous aperture library: "2011" will not open. I have created a new aperture library "2012", and it runs fine. I have added new photos for about the past month...no problems.
When I launch aperture with 2012 library then try to switch libraries, I get the following prompt: "The selected library is from an older version of Aperture and requires a relaunch to switch." I choose "Relaunch" and I get the following warning prompt: "There was an error opening the database for the library “~/Pictures/Aperture Library 20111.aplibrary”." The only option is "Quit"
Both libraries are version 3.2.3
Computer stats: 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo, 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM, OS X 10.6.8
I have tried to launch aperture troubleshooting by holding option+command from both the aperture icon and from the library file, neither will launch the troubleshooting feature.
I am ok with computers, but not a whiz (mechanical engineer)...to me it seems as though there is a corrupt path or file or some sort of "check" that is failing, becuase the failure occurs so fast after trying to launch aperture. Maybe that doesn't make any sense but just a thought.
I hope that you may be able to provide some insight. Thank you again for you time and I hope that you have a nice day!
Mike

My shared library will not show up no matter what I do.

I have tried everything, even apple support and they couldn't fix it. My shared library will not appear on my computers. I want to share stuff on my desktop with my laptop and neither will show a shared library.!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Which Apple TV do you have.

Itunes 10.4.1 will not open. I am using Lion.

I am using Lion and Itunes 10.4.1 will not open. It goes into an ongoing loop that only allows a force quit. I repaired permissions but it didn't help. The only way to upgrade my OS for ipod is through Itunes on the computer!

It looks like the iPhoto window but stays on a blank white screen with the spinning ball. I have to force quit to stop it.
