ITunes HomeSharing Issues

I have some problems with the new HomeSharing feature on iTunes 9. I hooked up my computer and another in my home to HomeSharing. Via a wireless network, I was able to access the other library on my computer. However, when I tried to access my library on the other computer, a pop-up came up with an error. It read: "The iTunes library is not responding (-3589) ... port 3689" HELP!

Tried firewall, reinstalled itunes, turn everything off and on repeated again and again and... no result. I did have it working but I think after the last update it stopped working and now can not share anything. The Icon does not appear
Drives me nuts

Finally copying iTunes from my PC to Mac. It was suggested by Apple that I do this via homesharing. Why is it that 1) PC itunes has 2196 songs 2) Mac itunes sees 2192 but only copying xxx of 2093. Why am I missing 100 songs and no, not a purchased music issue...those are coming over quite fine!

SO SORRY, I Was disconnected in the middle of editing this (said Apple Discussions being updated) After writing above, discovered my PC didn't still have Home Sharing enabled (may be necc to enable after every update)
Corrected response as follows
You should try the following to at least determine which songs are misssing:
launch iTunes on both computers, Make home sharing on BOTH computers
Select your PC's iTunes Library icon on in the Leftside Sidebar on your mac. Give it a moment, till all items appear.
Now click the popup on the bottom left of window where it says "All Items", and choose "Items not on my Computer"
You should now be able to select a song and click "import"
Out of curiositly: try to analyze why those items didn't transfer:
1. Are any of the items in your PC's library missing? (They'll display an exclamation point icon)
2. Formats: Are the missing songs in WAV / WMA format? I don't know if iTunes Mac supports WMA (iTunes PC will gladly convert WMA for you.). I don't think either version does WAV.
To test, on your PC, make visible the "Kind" column (via View Options- control-J)) sort by kind see if there are any WMA tunes
3. Unlikely but possible: The method you used only transferred purchased items.
4. There is something corrupt or wrong about the songs in question (windoze permissions issues?)

Two ATV2 devices and constant iTunes HomeSharing issues

Hi,
When I had just my one Apple TV, everything was just fine.
Just bought another Apple TV and now, I have to close iTunes and restart it each time I want to connect to it.
It seems to go like this...
Connect from my first AppleTV... everything ok.
If I try to connect from the second AppleTV, it doesn't see iTunes until it is closed and restarted.
Go back to the first AppleTV - it loses it's connection again.
They are only losing connection to iTunes - Netflix, etc. still work.
Sometimes it will lose connection to iTunes in the middle of a movie as well!
As I said, everything was just fine until the second ATV was introduced to the network.
... I certainly won't be getting a third with these issues occurring.
Any ideas? I've rebooted the PC of course, but that didn't help.
Thx.

Try going under Settings and making sure each Apple TV has a different name. Your network is probably getting confused if you have more than one with the same name.

ITunes homeshare will not activate with wifi extender

I have a wifi extender which has a different ssid. The problem is that it does not consider that connection as being pa of my home network where my mac is which has my iTunes library on it. This means that iTunes homeshare will not activate.
some reading talks about bridges but I don't know where/to configure such things.
The extender is a d-link power line wifi device.
Thanks

My new iPod Classic will not sync with my new Mac Book. My iPhone 5 does, so does 2nd gen. iPod touch. Apple Store cannot figure it out. Tried different Classics on different Macs, same thing. iTunes update issue ?

The iPod Classic I bought a month ago is not synching with my new Mac Book I bought 3 weeks ago. All the software was immediately updated. My iPhone 5 synchs fine, and so does my 2nd generaton iPod Touch. The original computer I synched all of these devices on was my HP latop. I bought my Mac and Classic to the Apple Store for a 'Genius Appt' and they could not figure out what the problem is. The connected my Classic to another computer and the same thing happens. It says device is not recognized. They also took other iPod Classics and connected them to my Mac and other Macs. The same thing was happening. They took notes and said it probably is an iTunes update issue.
I can manually drag songs into my Classic but I lost all playlists because it cannot be backed up as well and they had to restore it. For now I am holding on to it but it's usless to me if I cannot use it the way I liked too. I used it for the gym and bike riding and my last iPod battery died after 6 years. A charge would last 45 miutes. I love the Classic for what I use it for but it's a $275 brick to me now. At least the renewed by receipt so I can get a full refund.
Is anyone else seeing this issue ? The Apple Store employee said he saw a first generation iPad havng the same issue. As of now the Support Dest is unaware of this. As much as I love my new Mac I am disappointed I cannot sync my new Classic to it. Total bummer.
Any help would be apprecated.

By the way, I totally restored everything. It was ok. It starts to 'unrecognize' my iPod Classic when it comes to synching with iPhoto. After this happened all the menus disappeared from my iPod (music, Podcasts, movies synched fine). It seems to be a problem when synching with iPhoto. It was the same thing before.

When is Apple going to fix this iTunes update issue? I can't open or re install my iTunes.

Is there anything they are going to do so I can add more music to my iPod? Let alone access my iTunes library.

IPad and iTunes Capacity Issue/Application Install Issue

I've just spent the past hour trying to figure out why iTunes 10 is reporting I have 17.9GB of video although the iPad itself is saying I have 0 videos.
I am not syncing any music videos, movies, TV shows, Podcasts or content from iTunes U.
The iPad Free Space indicator is reporting I have 8.9GB avail, but counting video as using 17.9GB of my iPad's total capacity.
Anyone else?
I'm also trying to add Photogene to my iPad via iTunes and keep getting an error message indicating I need a newer version of iPad software to install, although I do have the most recent version. Seems like iTunes 10 issues.

There seems to be some reports that iTunes is reporting the wrong numbers for the free space, thought that's not happening to me (as best as I can tell) on my iPhone and iPad.
As for Photogene, my guess is that you're trying to install the iPhone version on your iPad. The iPhone version only works on iOS 4.0, so can't be installed on the iPad. There is an iPad version, but you have to buy it separately.

Itunes update issue

I updated iTunes but receive the following message: AVCFPlayerItemDurationChangedNotofication... Now iTunes will not run. I even tried the repair option on the iTunes download website. Any suggestions?

Does this happen if you start iTunes in safe mode, hold Shift and Control while launching it?

ITunes storevconnection issue

I am experiencing connection to iTunes Store issue since 12:00 AM PST April 12. It happened on all of my devices (Macbook, iPad, iPhone). I have connection to the internet and can go to yahoo/google fine.

I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!
what i did was plugged my iPod back up, then when iTunes pops up, drag your 'music' section to your iPod. (you have to be in your library, not in the iTunes store)
mine synched automatically, and i had no problem ejecting it or anything.
no error messages either. and all my music is now on my iPod!
i hope this works for you!!

IPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues (3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1)

Please feel free to inform me if this inquiry might be better posted in a different section of the discussion forums.
*iPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues*
(3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1.8 running on a Dell PC w/ Windows XP Pro Operating System)
With the newest 9.0.1 version of iTunes...
When you synch your Windows XP Pro PC with your iPhone (3G) device & instruct the software to synchronize your iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" with your PC's Internet Explorer "Favorites," should there not be a bi-directional transfer of the information?
(from iPhone to PC and also from PC to iPhone?)
I synched my phone yesterday & it appears that there was a successful transfer of Internet Explorer "Favorites" into the iPhone. However, neither were my iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" retained on the iPhone nor were they transferred over to the PC (& into Internet Explorer).
Do I need to also install Safari on the PC to get a successful bi-directional transfer? OR am I simply not looking in the correct place on the computer to retrieve all the Bookmarks that were apparently removed from the iPhone?
Furthermore, I've been experiencing difficulty with getting PodCasts that are already sitting in my iTunes account to transfer over to the iPhone 3G.
When I launch the synch operation, commonly the iTunes progress meter will seemingly go to completion. However, the iPhone will ultimately disappear from the left-side iTunes windowpane & the actual iPhone screen will continue to state: "Sync in Progress." The iPhone will remain in this state for HOURS & HOURS, until I ultimately slide the button to cancel the operation. I have literally left the iPhone connected to the synch computer while the iPhone's "Sync in Progress" status message remained the same for *17+ HOURS. This can not be normal*.
Any insight would be helpful.

Note: I resolved the issue by uninstalling and reinstalling itunes with this procedure;-)

I can not deauthorise my computer . Itunes store issue " Can not deauthorise " I think i chose some wrong items . Please help me !

click on the store tab on the top left of iTunes. Scroll to where it says "Authorize this computer...". Click on that and enter your apple id and password then click authorize. The reason iTunes says that your computer needs to be authorized is because it is to be sure that iTunes knows can trust your new computer

ITunes/AppleTV issues

Hello,
I'm trying to play iTunes music from my iMac on my Apple TV.
The iMac is running OSX 10.6.8 (Intel core 2 duo)
I have just upgraded iTunes, believing this to be required in order to connect with AppleTV. Since the upgrade, I am unable to open iTunes on the iMac. I icon bobs three times and nothing happens.
Figured that perhaps the OS needs updating, but unable to download Yosemite either.
Not sure what my next step should be. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Hi BrianMktg,
Oh man, that definitely sounds frustrating! Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like iTunes is no longer responding/opening on your iMac. Let’s see if we can troubleshoot this issue before moving on to the AirPlay issue. To begin, you can attempt the steps in the following resources:
