ITunes not showing shared libraries?

Since coming to my school, I'm not able to share my shared library with the other kids on my floor, and I can't see theirs. I have music sharing enabled (I haven't changed any of the settings since I left home, where I have had no problems sharing and viewing shared libraries there or anywhere else up to this point). Even when I turn my firewall off, it doesn't work. Every now and then I will try to quit iTunes and it will say 1 user is connected to my account, but only rarely and I can never see anyone else's libraries, although when I use my roommates' laptops, both Mac and Windows, I can see that there are plenty of people sharing their libraries.
What other steps can I try? I was able to check out other peoples' playlists when I was here a few years ago and I miss discovering new music/meeting my neighbors (in a way)!

Solved it myself

  • ITunes on new Mac Mini does not show shared libraries on network or songs on NAS drive

    iTunes on new Mac Mini does not show shared libraries on network or songs on NAS drive
    The latest version of iTunes on a 3-month old Mac Mini (8 gig RAM, OS 10.10.2) does not see any of the shared iTunes libraries on a  MacBookPro (MBP) (OS 10.9.5) and a 14-month old Mac Mini (OS 10.9.5). And a network shared drive/media server does not appear as well. I have a Gigabite Ethernet G4 and on it, the MPB and the "old" mini I can see the various shared music libraries and NAS, but not on the new Mini.
    The little house with a music note inside it that I see on the upper left corner of the iTunes 12.1 window on my MBP does not appear on iTunes 12.1 on the new Mac Mini. I have gone through all the iTunes preferences and can not find where I can turn on this feature. The new Mac Mini is on the local network and I can reach the internet successfully.
    I have been using iTunes since its beginning (still have a PowerTower Pro with a working copy of SoundJam), so I am not a newbie, but this has me baffled.

    May I add, that I gave full rights to the user at the Mac Mini to access and change data on the server drive for ITunes Media.

  • ITunes does not show Shared libraries

    I have a Mac, my husband has a PC. We both use iTunes. We have shared music just fine for years. A few months ago, my iTunes started to act oddly. The shared libraries vanished, and I cannot play to external (or multiple) speakers.
    My husband can see my library, but when it is selected, it comes up blank, and then vanishes in a few minutes.
    We both have our libraries set to share, we are on the same network and share files, etc, without issues. What can I do?

    To anyone who is having problems with Home Sharing an iTunes Library from a Windows PC,
    turn off syncing over Wifi for any devices (iPod, iPad, iPhone) that sync with that Library.
    I beleive this is causing interference with "Home Sharing" functionality.
    FYI,
    I also deleted iTunes Configuration files, but am not certain that is a necessary step

  • ITunes not finding shared libraries

    Does anyone have any references for this?

    We'll need a lot more detail about your setup and the exact problem before anyone can be of much assistance. If you are indeed running a Mac as your profile indicates, you'll probably want to start over in the iTunes for Mac area.
    Regards.

  • ITunes 9.1.0.79 No longer shows shared libraries.

    Hi all. If you install this version and you no longer see any shared libraries on the network anymore, then do the following.
    1. Go to Start>Settings>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs
    2. Uninstall Bonjour (this seems to be the problem with sharing)
    3. Then, if you can get hold of it, install the previous version of Bonjour (the one that came with iTunes 9.0.3)
    4. Restart iTunes and your shared libraries should now be showing.
    Good luck, this is the only solution I have at this stage.

    Hi, just follow the steps above, it should bring it back. Alternatively, after installing this version and rebooting your PC sometime solves this problem.
    Good luck

  • Why does the iTunes not show "Photos"

    Why does the new iTunes not show "Photos" after it is synced, and why does iCloud not show Photos also?

    Ralph9430 offers a good suggestion.  But you may need to do this before taking his advice:
    Check in iPhoto's Preferences (which you can open from the iPhoto menu).  Look in General, and make sure "Connecting Camera Opens" is set to "Image Capture").
    If it is set to "iPhoto", you won't be able to get to Image Capture easily.

  • ITunes won't show shared libraries nor will it show iPhone as a device

    This is baffling me and I would welcome some assistance. ITunes doesn't show any Shared Libraries/Devices
    1. iTunes will not show 2 shared libraries that can be seen by another computer (PC) running iTunes on the same home network
    2. Using my iPhone I cannot get the Remote app to work; iTunes doesn't seem to recognise my iPhone, although they are both on the same network (verified)
    3. When running 'Bonjour Browser' I can't locate "cciphonethings.tcp" as per the 'Things' support site for iPhone/iMac sync
    4. iTunes will sync OK with my iPhone when I place the iPhone in it's cradle
    I've followed the advice in Apple support and also followed the checks suggested by the Things support site. I've also reinstalled iTunes. No change.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    To answer your question, the cpu speed is 550MHz.
    Thought so. It seems like PowerBooks from about that era (550, 667) are the most likely to have this problem. I've never seen any definitive explanation, though. If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say it's a combination of hardware and software and how iTunes interacts with the CD drive.
    One thing you could do is send a bug report to Apple via their online form.
    best,
    charlie

  • ITunes not showing content on iOS devices

    So I have an iPhone 4 and an iPad, both running iOS 4.2.1 under iTunes version 10.1.1. For some reason, whenever I click any of the content tabs under each device (Music, Books, Videos, etc.), iTunes shows that there is nothing on the device even though I can clearly play and view the content on the device itself. I know there have been some issues with 4.2.1 and content not showing up on the device, but has there been any sort of fix on content not being viewable through iTunes? Thanks!

    Also note, this isn't just movies... it happens with music, TV shows, and books as well.  The remote devices can see and play them, but it will not show up in the local iTunes list.
    Additionally, in the "shared" libraries section for iTunes on other computers, the items also do not show up in that list.

  • PDF's in iTunes Not Showing on Other Computers

    I put some PDF's into iTunes so they show up on my iPhone and iPad. That works fine. But my other computers do not have the documents showing in iTunes even though they are all "authorized". I suppose I could start "sharing" libraries at home but what about my computers at the office? It seems as though they are in the "Cloud" and so should show up on all computers.
    aehaas

    PDFs can't be synced to other computers, so you have to add them to the iTunes library of each PC in order to have these documents on those computers. PDFs aren't uploaded to iCloud, so that's the reason they don't appear on your other computers

  • TS2972 Home sharing is enabled but can not see shared libraries on any devices

    I don't see my shared libraries on authorized computers, iphone, nor  Apple TV. 
    Ran netstat -an
    and see the listener for TCP tcp port 3689
    Also see an entry for udp port 5353.
    I can open a connection to the tcp port 3689 via a java api program and telnet.
    I also used TS2972 to help with thiss
    the only thing I did not do is reset the router but since I can open the ports I don't beleieve it is a router issue
    All devices ere connected to the same router
    All devices are using the same apple id
    Need this to work to get the most out of the iphone and apple tv
    any ideas are appreciated

    I have set the apple ID in the Home sharing setting on windows. Also set it on the iPhone and Apple TV and also shared another library on another windows iTunes application. I don't see any shared libraries on any device. Both the pcs only show the local  libray.

  • Front Row not displaying shared libraries

    On my 13" MBP I can't get any shared libraries to show up under Sources. I've got it narrowed down to my specific account because on my fiance's 13" MB they do show up. Same if I create a new user on my computer they show up as well. I've disabled firewall and WaterRoof (unix firewall) to no avail. I've searched the internet over and while this seems to be a fairly common problem I've found no answers. I'm guessing some .plist somewhere is bad. I've deleted the FrontRow folder in Application Support under my user and no luck there.
    For some background I'm running a MacMini with iTunes sharing enabled. Again a new account on my computer or my fiance's MB can access this source no problems. Anyone have suggestions on where I can focus on this problem? I checked Console and Front Row is tossing up no errors for Front Row. I'd really like to get this working. Any one got ideas? Thanks.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I did enable sharing and looking for sharing on both machines. I also have disabled the OS X firewall and the unix firewalls on both machines. I also uninstalled Flip4Mac and Perian on both machines. Still doesn't work. And again it does work OK if I create a new account on my MBP and also works on my fiance's MB with no modifications. Something is set up somewhere on my specific user in OS X on my machine. I'm at a loss what that could be.

  • TS2972 my new computer does not show shared from my old computer. how long does this take??

    My new computer does not show share from my old computer how long does this take?

    I'm having the same problem. I have my main Library on a WXP machine and a new W7 laptop. My iphone 4 sees the library from the W7 machine, but neither the laptop nor the iphone see the big library on the WXP machine. I have configured firewall settings, tried the network wired and wireless, using same apple id on all devices, restarted itunes on all computers, turned sharing off and on on all computers. Nothing works.

  • ITunes not showing songs that are on the iPod Touch

    I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation.
    I use iTunes 11.0.
    I usually connect my iPod Touch to iTunes and play songs from there because I do not put songs in my itunes library.
    I was doing this as usual and today when I connected my iPod Touch to iTunes, songs did not show up on the music tab of "On This iPod".
    Just the previous day, I opened iTunes and there were all my songs.
    Today, iTunes does not show any of my downloaded songs that were not bought from the iTunes Store.
    The iTunes Capacity Bar shows that I have songs on my iPod Touch.
    But when clicking on the iPod and going under the music tab in "On This iPod", there is no music other than a few songs, which were purchased from the iTunes Store itself.
    I also tried third party software just today to check if I can get the songs off my iPod.
    I tried using SharePod and it did not detect any songs, not even the purchased songs from iTunes.
    There are songs on the iPod Touch only. I can play all the songs from the iPod Touch just fine.
    They are simply just not showing up on iTunes.
    How do I get iTunes to show the songs on my iPod Touch? The capacity bar says there are songs.
    I tried SharePod a few times long before this happened, and it showed the songs on the iPod Touch.
    I don't understand why all of a sudden the songs all disappeared from iTunes itself only.
    (I would say this is similar to other issues where iTunes DOES show songs while the iPod itself DOES NOT. Mine is the opposite.)
    Thank you for the help in advance.
    Message was edited by: j_leongg
    I tried backing up the iPod Touch.
    Now all the songs on the iPod Touch (except for the purchased ones) are turned to blank names and are skipped.
    There is no name for each song or artwork, they all are called 'unknown'.
    Only the purchased songs are left unharmed. Everything else is corrupted now.
