ITunes keeps disconnecting from shared libraries

I use iTunes on Windows to play music shared from my mac version. I can connect to the library just fine but sometimes I just get frquent disconnects. It happens when I play from windows only. If I use my other mac to play I can access the share always and never disconnects.
The disconnects are short - I can immediately connect to the share again but it's pretty annoying having to do that. Any suggestions?

Seems the issue was elsewhere. It started workign again for no obvious reason

  • HP Mediasmart server keeps disconnecting from shared library

    Hi
    Just move to an Imac from a windows machine so I hope someone could assist me?
    I have a HP mediasmart server that stores my music and under the shared headings in Itunes it recognises it, clicking on it shows "loading HP mediasmart server" for about 10 seconds then it disappears and keeps looping round.
    My Macbook pro has not trouble connecting to it and it remains connected
    Can any one point me in the right direction
    regards

    Resolved. If anyone has the same problem its because there is a corrupt song that crashes the fire-play server running on WHS. Remove the song a it all works

  • Why does my computer keep disconnecting from my wifi?

    Why does my computer keep disconnecting from my wifi?

    Some users with various Wi-Fi problems have reported that they were given the following instructions by Apple Support, sometimes with success. After completing the procedure, you'll have to recreate all your settings in the Networkpreference pane. Make sure you know how to do that before you begin. Taking screenshots of the preference pane may be helpful.
    Step 1
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot and recreate the network settings.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 2
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 3
    Reset the PRAM.

  • Messages and FaceTime keep disconnecting from my MacBook Pro.

    iMessage and FaceTime keep disconnecting from my MacBook Pro. I’ve never turned either of them off on my computer, but every time I turn them back on, they work for about a week, and then I start getting messages and phone calls on my iPhone and iPad but not on my MacBook. Is anyone else having this problem?

    I'll ask the hosts to move this post to Yosemite.

  • Dates not coming with photos imported from shared libraries

    My partner and i both have macs, we both use iphoto. Usually we use the shared photo library features to exchange photos so that we both have all the photos we want.
    The problem is that the dates don't follow. I'd actually like to see all the metadata imported (faces etc) but i'll live without that but the dates is a real problem.
    I'm pretty sure they used to come with the photos imported from shared libraries, not sure why they stopped... Ideas?

    How are you sharing the Libraries? How are you reading the dates?

  • Why does my macbook pro keep disconnecting from the internet?

    For whatever reason my Macbook pro 15in keeps disconnecting from the internet everytime it goes to sleep. And sometimes when I wake it up, I have to turn wifi on and off a couple times to get it to detect the right signal. This does not happen with my playstation or my phone so it has to be a problem with the Macbook itself. Can anyone give me any information on how to fix this problem? Anything would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello, amal111.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here is an article that I would recommend going through when experiencing Wi-Fi connectivity issues.  Also, make sure all firmware updates have been processed on the router and the settings have been adjusted to the recommended settings in the second article below.

  • Songs in My iTunes got disconnected from songs on hard drive-can't sync

    For some reason, all the sudden, the songs in My iTunes got disconnected from the songs on the hard drive and now when I try to sync a playlist, I get an error and it won't work. How can I connect the songs again all at once instead of having to go through and do them individually one by one?

    From iTunes File menu choose
    "Add to library ..."
    then select the folder that contains all your audio tracks.

  • Smart Watch 3 keeps disconnecting from phone

    My swr50 keeps disconnecting from my motoG phone. I haven't figured out the circumstances for this...it seems random...I realise that I haven't had any notifications for a while, and none of the "OK Google" stuff works.My phone app says that it's connected, but it clearly ain't! 

    I wonder why it would disconnect that much,no problem like that on Z1. Do you have any task killers or antivirus?
    What about stamina?

  • Time capsule keeps disconnecting from the internet

    My MBP was previously connected to the internet via my sky netgear router, with no issues.
    I have recently purchased a 2TB time capsule and connected that to the sky netgear router via an ethernet cable.
    I then set it up as its own wifi network.  Now it keeps disconnecting from the internet every 5 mins or so.  I know that the internet is fine as I can hook up with my netgear router with no issues.  I cant seem to find any settings to play with.  Earlier posts seem to suggest firmware issues, but since this is a brand new MBP and TC, I can't understand what the issue could be.

    Give us the full blown picture of the network.
    What modem? Is it a router?
    Is the TC in router or bridge mode?
    Can you test with ethernet.. does the same disconnect happen when wireless goes down?
    ie is this a router issue or a wireless issue?
    If wireless can you try setting all that is now auto, to manual settings.. wireless channels.. unfortunately I think wireless mode is no longer accessible. Different names for 2.4ghz and 5ghz.
    There are no new drivers.. That would only be relevant to AC wireless anyway.. or the firmware of the TC.
    But you are running the latest firmware.. 7.7.1 which does mention some (rare) disconnections.

  • HP Photosmart Premium C310a printer keeps disconnecting from my network.

    My HP Photosmart Premium C310a printer keeps disconnecting from my network. I have tried disconnecting my Firewall and AVG virus software, all to no avail. Can anyone help?

    This is an issue I have seen multiple times, and telling people to check their network settings, or to fix wireless settings does NOT address the root cause of the problem.   For those who are English-impared, here is a very clear explanation of what is going on:
    The printer is REMOVED from devices and printers, seemingly at random.    This is NOT a problem with "The printer is not printing", where fixing the network or resetting IP addresses will fix it.   The printer is GONE, and needs to be added again.
    I know networking, and at no time should a loss of connection cause the printer to just be removed from Printers and Faxes, Printers, or anything like that.    If the connection is lost, the connection is lost, but the printer SHOULD still be set up in Windows, just pointing at the wrong place(if the IP address has been changed).
    I suspect that it is more likely that the HP Update software is the culprit, and will test that theory today with a customer who has this problem.    It also seems to be limited to the HP Photosmart line of printers, since the Officerjet line does not seem affected by the bug.  

  • PC keeps disconnecting from home hub.

    Got a very annoying problem, for some reason my computer keeps disconnecting from my home hub. Its got much worse recently and I have no clue what is doing it. Sometimes it can stay disconnected for a couple of hours and when you finally get the connection back it says it cant connect to the Internet. Also my network adaptor cant find my hub but it will find my neighbours even though the hub is just down the stairs from my PC. Signal it good-excellent. There are 2 other computers using the same hub but the are totally unaffected by this.
    Would really appreciate some help.

    from your comments I assume you are using wifi 
    you can try downloading inssider3 (istumbler if MAC) and then run it. This will show the broadcasting networks round about you and their channels including your own. If you then enter your router and change your wireless channel to a free or less congested channel.
