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.

My new mac mini does not see usb drives, but in hardware info the usb is visible
my new mac mini does not see usb drives, but in hardware info the usb is visible
i'tried several usb flash drives even brand new ones, they are visible onder hardware info but they are not on the desktop nor in the finder.
what is wrong and doe anyone has a solution ?It does not show up in disk utility, its only visible through systeminformation.
When you plug in the USB flash drive and then refresh systeminformation it becomes visible.
To remove it I shut down the computer because I cannot eject the USB device anywhere.
After starting up again when I have removed the flash drive it has gone from the systeminfo USB list.
By the way my USB mouse and keyboard are working fine, I also changed ports of these and they still keep on working so I don't think the USB ports are defect.
I guess it some kind software problem, and because I'm new to Apple I do not know much about it how to solve this. -
My Mac Mini does not boot, after backing the enire system onto an external drive with Carbon Copy Clone. I had switched the start-up disk back to the original of course. Now all I see is the Apple logo. What should I do? Thanks in advance.
Try disconnecting any external devices, especially hard drives
and try rebooting.
If that doesn't help, then :
If you are running Lion, boot to the Recovery HD and run a
Repair Disk on the OSX partition.
If Snow Leopard, boot to the installl DVD and run Repair Disk.

My new iPad mini does not show under manage devices
I just purchased a new iPad mini for my husband. I removed his old one from the section of iTunes that reads manage devices. And even though his new iPad mini is synced and backed up, now the new one does not show under manage devices.
Can anyone tell me how to get it to show up? I called Apple support and the lady trying to help me did not even know what I was talking about.
Thank you.If you're on Windows read this support article.
If on Mac, read this one. -
My new Mac Mini does not find any VST instruments and also ....
My new Mac Mini running iLife 08 does not find any VST instruments and also does not show all the midi instruments. Does anyone know why this is?
Thanks.Is this a Intel Mac thing only, aka can G5/G4 Macs using GB08 use VSTs?
Ive got some great ones I'd love to use with GB. Seems kind of silly not to support VSTs, a standard for the music industry... ya know? -
Mac mini does not show any external hard rives! How to fix?
Hello,
My problem ist that my mac mini, i bougt in early 2010, does not show me any external harddrives. I had paragon instaled, after the trail version was untdatet my mac did not show any external hardrives.
Do you know how to hel ?
As i found out lately the harddrives i had plugt in to the mac are even not shown on other macs.I don't know what you mean by "doing new concessions on DHCP"!!??? Have you tried using a static IP address to see if it works that way? Have you restricted the range of DHCP addresses available at your router? If you have maybe the other computers have used up the available range. Suggest you try a static IP address first, then we'll take it from there.

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 -
Help - Mac Mini does not boot after re-install of OS X
Hi,
I have a Mac Book Pro and Mac Mini. I needed to reinstall my Mac Mini but lost the install disks. The install disks of the Macbook do not work (machine specific). So what I did was boot the Mac Mini in firewire target mode and installed OS X to it from the Macbook. Worked ok. Except for one thing: The Mac mini does not boot the fresh OS X installation. I get a blinking folder icon with a question mark on top of it.
I booted from the Mac OS X install disk, repaired disk permissions etc. and tried to use the "Startup Disk" utility to select the hard drive as a boot device. But that utility does not offer me to select the hard disk, it doesn't even show up (while DiskUtility can perfectly see it).
Any hints for me? I am pretty much stuck right now.
ThanksWell, see, the fact that it wouldn't let you boot from the MacBook install disks should have been your first clue to not try to do it. There's a reason it wouldn't let you. The MacBook install disks contain a version of the OS specific to the MacBook, in order to prevent people doing what you just tried to do (ie, installing the same copy of the OS on multiple machines).
If you don't have the Mac Mini system disks any more, you'll have to go buy a copy of OS X. You could also ask for help from an Apple Store, if there's one in your area, but I honestly don't know if they would give you new disks. I would think they should (for a small fee), since Mac Mini system disks would be useless to anyone who didn't already own a Mac Mini, but you never know. -
Double clicking a new e-mail does NOT show whole e-mail
double clicking a new e-mail does NOT show whole e-mail unless I go to forward or reply. In other words, I may see a couple sentences, then it's just blank, no scroll bar either. This gets annoying. Anybody else get this or know how to overcome this?
eMac 800mHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)Well, there is no such thing as an AOL type account in Mail. Such an account must be set up as either POP or IMAP. Nevertheless, knowing that the ISP for one of the accounts is AOL is useful because it seems that other people also have this problem with AOL -- see Chuck Coulson's and smackwell's posts in this thread.
I don't think I'll be able to help you with the AOL account other than telling you to try rebuilding the mailbox -- select the mailbox and choose Rebuild from the Mailbox menu. Have you tried that?
The problem shouldn't happen with the POP account, however. Do you experience the same problem with it as well? -
New IPad mini does not share photos using Photo stream
New IPad mini does not share photos using Photo stream. Turned on sharing on both devices and also setup bluetooth both devices and they are connected. have photos on my mini put does not send to my Mac using photo stream
GaryPhoto stream doesn't use bluetooth; only wifi. Photos added to the camera roll on your device are automatically added to photo stream when the camera app is closed, your device is connected to wifi, and it has at least 20 % battery life remaining. Also, only photos added to the camera roll after enabling photo stream are uploaded, not photos prior to enabling photo stream. If the photos appear in your my photo stream album on your iPad Mini, then they were successfully added to your photo stream.
To share them with your Mac, your Mac must be running OS X Lion (10.7.4) or higher, and you must have either iPhoto 9.2 or higher or Aperture 9.2 or higher. If you do, you must sign into your iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud and check Photo Stream in order for the photos to automatically be added to iPhoto (or Aperture). This is explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html. -

I have bought a new iPad mini. its not showing me Facetime Installed. How should I start a Facetime ?
Where did you buy it? facetime is barred from devices sold in some countries, due to the countries insisting upon it. UAE and other middle eastern countries are examples.
If you bought your iPad in a country that banns its use then you'll never have facetime on that device. It's locked out at the most basic level. -
