ITunes library not available upon iMac sleep

I have an Intel Core Duo v10.4.8. My iTunes music is on here and I share it on my local network through AirPort Express. When my iMac goes to sleep the sharing is not available on the other computers and I must wake it to continue.
I have the computer set to sleep when it is inactive for 'never'. The display is set to sleep after 15 minutes. I've checked my network settings and have not found anything that would cause this.
I am connected through Built-in Eithernet. AirPort is currently off.

Goth,
You checked it or did you actually perform an SMU reset?
How about the frequency? Does it sleep once a day? Every hour? Every 15 Minutes? Etc?
How about the "Schedule..." settings under Energy Saver? Are both those options cleared?

  • Shared iTunes Library not available

    My iTunes library is located in the "Shared" users account and pointed to by a folder alias in my own "Music" folder. However, when setting up a slide show in iPhoto, my iTune tracks are not available. In fact iTunes does not even show up in the Music pane.
    If I create an actual (not an alias) iTunes music folder in ~/Music/ iPhoto works as it should.
    I have tried creating symbolic links at the command line instead of using the "Create Alias" action in Finder. Doing so does not help.
    iTunes works fine. The problem is only in iPhoto.
    iMac 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    As a work around I have been able to start iTunes while holding down the "Option" key and create a new iTune Library in my ~/Music folder. Then I import whatever song I want to use in my slideshow.

  • ITunes library not available for two computers on shared external hd

    On our home network, using Airport Extreme, we have and external hd, and two mac laptops connected. We have all music in an iTunes music folder on the external hd plus the iTunes Library on the external hd. iTunes will only allow one laptop to connect to it and the says this every time I try to open it, "The iTunes Library file is locked, on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file. How do I get permission for the other laptop?

    yeah you can keep your itunes library file on your local laptops, and keep all your actual music files on the external drive. then like said before, uncheck the box that says "copy files to itunes music folder" in the itunes prefs on the Advanced tab
    this way you each have your own itunes library, but you're sharing the same music.

  • ITunes library not available but library files are still stored on computer

    My iTunes has been acting up since day one when it claimed that i was using a different computer after an update but now it wont let me access my iTunes library. Nothing is there - no purchased history, no music library, nothing.
    I'm logged in using my usual account details and up to the other day everything was fine - i watched a film on iTunes, turned off my PC and then nothing was there anymore.
    I checked my documents folder and all the files are still in there, in fact i can double click on them and they independently load up iTunes and then run but still arent listed in my library. I put another cd on today, rebooted the PC and the cd isn't listed either but is still in the correct folder on the hard drive.
    Am i doing something really stupid or is this another quirk???

    Hm ... I guess I can't edit the post above. Anyway, I seem to have solved it by ...
    Quitting iTunes.
    Going into Home / Music / iTunes, and renaming the file "iTunes Library.itl" to "iTunes Library (corrupt).itl".
    Entering Time Machine, and restoring the "iTunes Library.itl" file from a few days ago. I went back two days, which seemed far enough back to be "before" the problem but not far enough back to have trouble with recent acquisitions.
    Re-opening iTunes - and everything seemed to be back in order.
    So that's fine for now. We'll see if the solution is stable.
    Very, very tentative assignment of blame: I believe iTunes crashed earlier today after I'd synced photos from my iPhone to iPhoto, and then iTunes crashed while iPhoto was closing (and taking its sweet time doing so). If that was indeed the case, that's at least the second time in the past couple of months that trying to sync iPhone photos to iPhoto has caused me significant problems. (The last time led to 80% of my iPhone suddenly being occupied by "Other", and a full restore of the darn thing.)

  • Should I create a new iTunes Library on my new iMac?

    I have been using a MacPro with multiple hard drives. One such 2TB drive has been the location of my MacPro iTunes library and media files. It takes up about 1.5TB of space with all the music, video and books. I use EyeTV from Elgato to record TV shows/movies, then convert them and transfer to iTunes. I also backup my iPhone and iPad to this iTunes library. I don't use iCloud for this backup.
    I then purchased a new iMac with a 3TB Fusion drive. I plan to hang on to the MacPro to use on my home network as a file server, running "headless" perhaps.I plan to continue to use it for recording TV shows/movies in EyeTV and converting the output to iTunes videos.
    Now I don't know what I should do about an iTunes library on my new iMac. When I got my iMac I migrated my User over to it. However, when I open iTunes, it is asking for me to either create a new iTunes library or open an existing one.
    In my mind I have these options:
    1. Create a new library. Setup up iTunes Sharing. This could work for me to access my large library of music and videos. However if I start backing up my iPhone i will then have backups on both computers. I suppose I could dump or ignore the MacPro iPhone/iPad backups and just create new backups on the iMac iTunes? What about new content I want to add? EyeTV will still be adding new content to the MacPro library. My iMac has no optical drive so if I want to rip a CD/DVD I would still need to use the MacPro for this. So from that perspective, this option may work out the best. What am I missing?
    2. Open the iTunes library on the MacPro and make it my iMac's iTunes library. This seems problematic. If I understand correctly, I can't open this library on both Macs at the same time as this would likley cause issues. So I'd have to make sure I close out of one Mac's iTunes before the other Mac can open iTunes. This would be a pain given that EyeTV opens it up automatically when it is converting video recordings to iTunes video. For iPhone/ipad backups, I'm not sure what would happen here. Would it still backup to the MacPro iTunes library? I suppose it would. Another concern is the the MacPro would always have to be mounted on the iMac before I could access and use the iTunes library. So this options seems potentially frought with issues? On the plus I think this would retain the star ratings and other meta data, right?
    3. What about creating a new library on the iMac but then go into preferences > Advanced and selecting the iTunes media folder that is on the MacPro. This is similar to option 2 above but retains access to the existing library I have on the MacPro. However, I'd lose all my star ratings, and other meta data.
    Is there another option? Which way should I go? I am guessing option 1 is the best option. If you agree, please list caveats and downsides of it. If you disagree, please let me know the best strategy I should use and why.
    Thanks.

    Yes. Just copy all your music to a folder on your external. Then delete the music on your computers hard drive.
    It is not quite that simple. If you do that you will end up with many broken links and will have to re-create your library from scratch .  iTunes does not like it when you move or rename files or folders and doing so between drives is guaranteed to result in exclamation marks indicating you have broken the links to all your media files.
    If you are content with moving the whole library to an external drive (usually the best thing for most people), try:
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

  • I have an iMac, an iPhone, and a MacBook Pro.  My full iTunes library is on the iMac and iPhone, but only a handful of songs are on my MacBook.  They are all associated with the same Apple ID.  How do I get all of my music on the laptop?

    I have an iMac, an iPhone, and a MacBook Pro.  My full iTunes library is on the iMac and iPhone, but only a handful of songs are on my MacBook.  They are all associated with the same Apple ID.  When I try to sync, I get a warning message stating that I will lose songs on my phone which aren't on the laptop.  How transfer my music from my phone to the laptop?

    Hey kbert73
    I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

  • How do I maintain a single iTunes library for two separate iMac user accounts?

    How do I maintain a single iTunes library for two separate iMac user accounts?...without having to manually do something every download?

    Pardon me, I am brand new at using an iMac.  I understand the concept but I don't know exactly how to "move" the library.  I found a shared folder under users on the hard drive.  If I move it, won't I have to redirect each iTunes user to the new shared location?
    If I point iTunes to anything other than the music folder under that user name, it shows as a "shared library".  Preferences still shows it as that users library, regardless of where the advanced gear button says it is pointing to.
    Am I asking for too much to have each user control the exact same music files, apps and playlists?  I just want the two different itunes sessions to mirror each other without any frequent updating or copying.
    We use the same id for itunes music and apps so we could just sync all devices under one iMac user id and not use it under hers.

    Thank you for your responses.. To Sjazbec, At least you guys in Germany and the Netherlands have some kind of  posters from Apple to let you know that the feature is not available.
    There is no such warning on the Irish Apple site.!
    My point was that, I would not have even considered trying to reorganize my itunes library had I known that the feature is not available in Ireland.
    And that falls into the domain of Apple Ireland advertising.. which I"m sorry to say is false and misleading.
    There are no "posters" telling the Irish customer that icloud / itunes music is not available!
    I"m not blaming Apple for not "having the feature" in Ireland.. I am upset at them for falsing advertising a feature that they cannot for whatever reason deliver to Irish customers..
    To Keats 2010 LOL... Trust me there were lots of clouds in Ireland today!.. It's a long time since we've seen the sun!.. As for getting your head around the basics.. I could talk you through everything that doesn't work in Ireland if it's any help lol

  • ITunes Library not visible in iphone/ipad/appletv

    I have a 2013 mbp, and 2007 imac. An ipad Mini, an iphone 5 and apple tv 3. All are updated to the most recent versions.
    Both my mbp and my imac can "see" each other's itunes libraries and play them. So home sharing works.
    My iphone, and ipad can see the mbp and imac libraries in their iTunes, however they cannot see them in Music.
    The itunes remote works on both the ipad/iphone when looking at the mbp and imac.
    The apple tv can happily mirror what is on both the mbp and imac. I can play itunes music happily on the apple tv from both.
    The apple tv cannot see the itunes library of either the imac or the mbp in "Computers"
    The apple tv happily mirrors the ipad and iphone.
    I have duplicated the problem with different routers.
    So home sharing sort sort of half works. It is weird. Suggestions?

    Have you tried clicking on "Music" in iTunes?
    Yes and that is where my purchased music shows up but not my 6900 other songs.
    My Itunes library is on an external hard drive. Maybe that has something to do with it....

  • HT4889 How can I transfer my iPhoto photos and iTunes library to my new iMac?

    How can I transfer my iPhoto photos and iTunes library to my new iMac?

    If the Migration Assistant won't do it, move them over as you would any other folder; they're located in the Pictures and Music folders of your home folder by default. The iPhoto library needs to be transferred via a drive, partition, or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended or through an AFP network share.

  • Can I sync the same iTunes library on both my iMac and my MacBook Pro?

    Can I sync the same iTunes library on both my iMac and my MacBook Pro?  I've been connecting my iPhone to each and it's causing problems for me with them being different, despite my purchases always being under the same Apple ID.

    The easy way to do this is to keep the library on an external drive which you can plug into either computer.  Of course this isn't always the desirable solution.  You can try routinely copying the library from computer to computer though this gets tiresome. 
    Of possible relevance:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202 - You can manage your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers as long as you have set the device to "Manually manage music."  -  e.g. adding music from a second computer to an i-device.

  • Since I have iTunes match, why does my iTunes library not appear in iPhoto music options for slideshow?; only songs purchased or placed on iTunes over a year ago appear in the iPhoto library under the iTunes or purchased option.

  • Some of the items in the itunes library not were not copied to the itunes phone because you have not authorized them for this computer

    I'm getting a "some of the items in the itunes library not were not copied to the itunes phone because you have not authorized them for this computer" error message for some of my songs when I'm syncing to my iphone to my laptop.  I've authorized the computer, but I still get this error messge.  Any suggestions?

    Were these items purchased with a different Apple ID than the one you normally use?  If so, authorized the computer for that Apple ID.
