ITunes is only sharing one way...how do I get it to share 2-way?

My primary computer is a iMac G4 800, running 10.4.8, with iTunes 7.1. My secondary computer is a iMac G3 500, running 10.3.9, with iTunes 7.1.
A brief overview of my network: cable modem to router1. From router 1 to: computer1(PC), computer2(iMac G3 500), router2(vonage phone). From router2 to: computer3(iMac G4 800).
The situation: I am trying to share music between the two iMacs (computer2 and computer3). Both iTunes have been properly set up to share music and automatically detect shared libraries. My iMac G4 800(computer3) can see the shared library of the iMac G3 500 (computer2). The iMac G3 500(computer2) cannot see the shared library of the iMac G4 800(computer3).
Any idea why this is, and is there a way to correct the problem or circumvent this?
Thanks
iMac G4 800 Mac OS X (10.4.8) other computer iMac G3 500 (10.3.9)

The iMac 500 doesn't have a DVD drive, and I don't have a firewire cable to hook it up to the 800 in Target Disk mode.
Anyway, I am wondering if it has something to do with my network layout? The iMac 800 is on a different router than the iMac 500. This doesn't interfere with normal network operations - but does iTunes intentionally block this to prevent sharing outside one's own network? If so, isn't there something that can be installed on one or both of the computers to get around that?

You want to keep the iTunes ID since that is the one that you make purchases with. That should be your primary Apple ID email address.
Go to. Settings>FaceTime>Tap your ID and sign out. Then sign in with the iTunes/Apple ID email address.

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

I just downloaded Firefox on my maxpro and now I have 3 (three) icons on my desktop. if I only need one icon, how do I get rid of the other 2? Thank you.

When I was trying to download, I wasn't certain whether I was being "prompted" to attach the firefox icon to my application folder. When I didn't see the icon in the folder, I tried again - probably a total of 3 times. I searched my application folder and finally found firefox - it was in the form of a piece of paper - when I clicked on the paper the 3 icons appeared on my desktop. I surmised that I had successfully downloaded firefox 3 times...but I really don't trust myself in deleting 2...lest I thereby delete all of the download completely. Further, if it is safe to delete 2, is it enough to simply press the delete button over the icons to be removed or do I have todo something else?

You only need a Firefox icon, which you drag to the Applications folder alias after downloading the Firefox .dmg file.
Once the "Firefox" icon is inside the actual Applications folder, all other icons can be moved to the trash, including the Firefox .dmg installer, which looks like a piece of paper. The Firefox disk image, which looks like an external hard drive or Flash drive icon, should be ejected.
See
[[Installing Firefox on Mac]] for details.

I only want one desktop.How can I get rid of a 2nd desktop?

I have desktops to choose from. I could see where this mught be handy, but riight now I find it downright annoying to suddenly switch desktops because I swiped or did something else to make i switch.
I cannot find a setting for multiple desktops.

* Enter Mission Control (You can do this by pressing a key, e.g., F3 in recent MBPs. See System Preferences, Mission Control for the current keyboard shortcuts.)
* You should see the available desktops as little windows along the top of the screen.
* Hover your cursor over the one you want to delete (hover, not click) until a little x appears.
* Click the x.

Imported song from iTunes but only plays 8 bars, how do I get it to play the entire song?

I Am writing a song and using a instrumental as part of background. I imported to garage band by dragging it. It plays 8 bars then stops. I am missing something very obvious.

You need to change the length of the song section - best set it to automatic, before you add the audio file.
See this help page (assuming you are using GarageBAnd 2 on an iPad - which GarageBAnd version are you using?):
http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/2.0/index.html#chs3c3ef5dc
Change the length of a section
Open the song section controls and tap the section you want to change.
Tap the up or down arrow next to Manual to lengthen or shorten the section incrementally by bars. You can swipe vertically to change it in larger values.
If you want the section to match the length of your next recording (to the nearest bar), turn on Automatic before you record. This is especially useful when recording improvisations or longer parts. The Automatic option is available only for the last (rightmost) section in a song.
Tap anywhere in Tracks view to close the song section controls.
When you shorten a section, any regions extending past the end of the section are shortened. When you lengthen a section, all regions that extend from the beginning to the end of the section now loop to the new end of the section. A section can be any number of bars, and the overall song can be up to 320 bars long.

Is it because the new itunes looks different.

Then it should work just the same as on your old computer.

Take a look at Apple's document for authorizations -> iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization.
You can deauthorize all computers from iTunes. All you have to do is click iTunes Store, click your account name in the upper right corner of iTunes, then deauthorize all.

ITunes will only play one song. I have to hit play to start a new song. I have the shuffle on and I am in a playlist. I am running Windows 7. How do I correct this to randomly play music, by itself?

That's consistent with all the tickboxes to the left of the tracks (in Song view) being unchecked.
Go into Song view and Ctrl-click one of the empty boxes to do a "global recheck".
If you can't see the tickboxes, head into your General preferences tab and select "Show list tickboxes" as per the following screenshot (it's for an earlier version of iTunes, but the boxes are in roughly the same place in the recent versions 11.x):

ITunes can only perform one thing at a time

Ever since updating to the latest version of iTunes on my dual core mac mini, iTunes can only perform one task at a time beach balling the entire time. For example if it is downloading a podcast, and I try and watch something off my apple tv via home sharing on this library, it fails to load. Same thing if it is syncing my iPhone.
Importing new media into my library also seems to take much longer than it did before, for instance importing a 700mb movie takes ~20 hours.
What can cause such a degrade in performance?

Back up your drive now. Slow copying may be one sign a drive is about to fail, because it is having to repeat a lot of actions many times.
What does Disk Utility say about the SMART status in get info? Have you verified the hard drive with DU's first aid?

Screen will only flip one way

I need help!!!
My screen will only flip one way and when I flip it the other way it will not flip. Can anyone help with the this? I tried googling the problem, but didn't come up with a solution. I made sure that my screen isn't locked as well.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Ralph,
When you have ticked the screen sharing option in iChat>video>screen sharing and your buddy "high lights" (one click) your screen name the screen sharing icon will be displayed in black on his end indicating "enabled".
This way he can ask for your permission to share your screen.
When your contact has not ticked the screen sharing option the screen sharing icon in your contact list will be grey.
When your contact has ticked the screen sharing option as well the screen sharing icon in your contact list will be black as well.
Of course all other requirements for iChat screen sharing have to be met.
More important: I wish you a very happy new year!
