ITunes problems with homesharing!?

I got a new macbook pro for Christmas and I want to transfer my iTunes library from our PC desktop to my laptop. My sister did when she got her PC laptop and homesharing works fine for her. When I tried to do it, it said that 5 computers had already been verified with our Apple account. But the only computers that have used our account are our desktop, my sister's laptop, our old desktop that we don't have anymore, and a computer at my parent's work. My sister deactivated the work computer but it still says that our account has already been verified on 5 computers and will not work for me. What should I do?

check these reads: one and two.
any help ?

How can i copy songs from another library to my itunes library with homesharing?

How can i copy songs from another library to my itunes library with homesharing? I see the other libraries, but cannot drag the songs into my library. The help window says to use the "show menu" at the bottom, but I don't have that menu with itunes 11.

You can do this in 2 ways.
1) You can enable the sidebar and you can drag and drop like you used to be able to. To turn on Sidebar in iTunes 11, go to View > Show Sidebar
2) Another way is to connect to your Home Share from the drop-down menu from the left (where it says Music) and select your Home Share. Once you are connected to your Home Share, select Music and you should see a button that says "All Items" and on the right, you should see the Import button. To copy, select the songs you want to import and then click on Import.

HT1926 (iTunes) Problem with Windows installer package?

(iTunes) Problem with Windows installer package? I try to install the new version of iTunes but get an error "Problem with Windows installer package. A Program required for this install could not be run." Can anyone help shed some light for me as to how to correct this? I have tried to install the program through Chrome, Explorer and FireFox but have had no success. I have included a screenshot of the error. Hopefully it's visable. Thank you for any help.

Found answer for anyone else curious. I love the apple community. Thanks guys for help!

Problems with homesharing since the last 2 updates (4.2 & 4.21)

I've been having a problem where I'm playing movies or tv shows from my iTunes library through homesharing and my ATV(2) will get "kicked off homesharing". The movie/tv show just stops abruptly and ATV goes back to the main menu and stating that it can not find my iTunes library. This occurs at random times as far as I can tell. I can get it to work again if I turn off, then back on homesharing through iTunes on my Mac. I'm not sure if this is an ATV issue or an iTunes issue (iTunes is ver. 10.2.1). Never had this problem before the updates.

Thank you for your suggestion.
I have reinstalled Java 1.5., however I still get a Cannot launch Java application: Uncaught exception in main mehtod: java.lang.NullPointerException.
I have contacted Encylopaedia Britannica, and they have yet to provide me with a solution.

A possible reason to problems with HomeSharing and TV shows

I discovered this bug and it may account for some of the problems people describe having with HomeSharing and TV shows (Shows or episodes missing when accessing a homesharing library).
If one selects one or several TV shows (individual episodes or whole season) in iTunes, only those selected will be visible when accessing the shared library from another mac. To fix it, I have to disconnect from the shared library (clicking eject arrow), deselect the TV shows (in list view using the column browser, select All Genre, All Shows and All Seasons) and then reconnect to the shared library.
This problem dos not occur with Movie or Music files.
The problem do not apply if accessing the library from an iOS device (iPod Touch,iPad2,iPhone4, iPhone5).
The library is shared by a Mac Pro (mid-2010, 10.8.2, iTunes 11.0.1(12)) and the problem occurs when accessing the library from a MacBook Pro, iMac and Mac mini (all using iTunes 11.0.1 under 10.7 or 10.8). All TV shows are home-ripped or home-recorded and do not use any DRM.

If i select music on my machine using the column browser then only the selected music appears under music on in the home share on my wifes machine. If I select the top entry eg Steve's Library then everything shows.
Just tried it for TV Shows and it does the same
Resolved it by removing any selection on my machine, Ejecting the Home Share on my wife's machine. Re selected the Home Share and it reloaded the full list

Itunes problem with windows Vista

ok i bought my touchsmart tx2 1025 with windows vista ultimate 64 bit and well i ve noticed that ..well since this is my third time i exchange this computer and i noticed there was a problem with the speakers when i was playing music that anytime during a song i would get this distorted sound like when u put a lot of volume in ipod headphones that it sounds like a crack. Well that happened in my computer even with low volumes.
However I played two times the same song on itunes and two times on windows media player.
Every single time on itunes the sound came as if the speakers were about to blow... like a crack..
Every single time on Windows media player it never sounded like that.
So i am pretty sure its an itunes problem. Does anyone know how to fix this.. i would rather use itunes than windows media player but i really hate the sound it makes sometimes because it shows about 2 to 3 times during one song.

It's possible that the song your playing does indeed have a little audio distortion in it, some media players are capable of filtering it out in a silent way, others play a beep, hence with one song I have, if i play it in windows media player it goes on and then for a split second theres a beep, iTunes doesent seem to do it, so instead of filtering out the missing data, it plays it.
This is more likley a problem with the song than iTunes

Itunes problems with windows 7 64 bit

Hi, i have searched and searched for a solution to my on going problems with itunes on my windows 7 64bit computer.
it started with my backups not being saved when i sync, then any music i add seems to play strangely i.e skips and plays the start of the song in the middle.
updating last sunday to the new iphone os (4.3) was also a disaster, having to try a number of times over 2-3 days as the downloads just seemed to hang and not do anything. At the end on around my 10th try it downloaded and updated in around 15 mins.
I now find myself when i connect to itunes more often than not having to manually delete corupt backups until i get a succesful one as sometimes it works and other times it doesnt.
I tryed a vista computer a friend has and everything worked perfectly!
songs, backups the lot!!
So it clearly seems like a problems between windows 7 64bit and iphone 4.
can anyone please shed some light on these issues??????
Many thanks, gaggie...

I am not sure that I can help with this, but I have seen an instance where continuous backup software cased playback problems.
Also are you using any Norton products?

Itunes problems with Vista

Has anyone run into a problem with Itunes not being able to play audio tracks from cd, and not able to import from a cd? (Using Vista Ultimate)I can play existing audio files, but not from a disc and it won't import.
I have tried uninstalling vers. 7.1 and re-installing. I have tried updating my firmware for my two drives and I have also enabled administrative permissions for Itunes under the, annoying UAC built into Vista. Nothing seems to resolve the issue.

Which versions of each? iTunes was updated to 7.5. iTunes may not support x64.
Did you tell or let iTunes during the install to "use iTunes for playing all supported media?"

Reinstalling iTunes, problem with duplicates

I have an iMac 2GHZ running OS X v10.5.7 which is having multiple longstanding problems with freezing/errors and no significant problems show up after running disc utilities (repairing permissions etc..) or Tech Tool. Also my itunes music folder is full of duplicates that don't show up on my i tunes duplicate or "Dupin" duplicates list. iTunes library shows 43 GB space used and iTunes Music folder shows 95 GB space used.
I would like to start from scratch, reformat my hard drive and reinstall iTunes to see if it solves most of the problems. I am using Time Machine for backup but also can make a bootable clone with Super Duper. I wonder if it would be better to restore my iTunes from an iPod since none of the duplicates exist there.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
B

a lot of people are having similar problems
a temporary solution i discovered is desribed on this thread

Itunes problem with visual c++ runtime

I have not had any problems with my itunes for windows before. But today as soon as I opened itunes, an error message came up with "microsoft visual c++ runtime library" in the window title bar and "application requested runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. please contact the application's support team for more information". Once you click ok in the window, itunes closes and you can't do anything with it. I have downloaded the latest version of itunes and it still states that. a couple of days ago i did download itunes plus but it doesn't seem like that's the culprit. Can anyone help? Thanks!

i do hope so, considering that i can't access any of
my music or account information at all because of it.
I could always try to remove itunes and reload but I
can't remember the songs that I've downloaded since
the last time I made a library backup (last month).
Here is the answer. First you download the latest iTunes and intstall it. You will not lose your iTunes library by doing this. Then, if you get the "can't save iTunes library" error, you follow the instructions on this page - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313 - it worked for me!

Itunes problems with new nano, purchased songs

Hello all. I am having a few problems with my itunes and newly purchased nano that hopefully you guys can give me some advice on. First of all, when i plug in my nano, it does not recognize it unless i close itunes and reopen it. Then, it takes a few minutes to open and acts like it is a new nano every time i open it. Meaning, it asks me to name the nano and asks me to apply all the settings etc. After that it works. I then can eject it. If I then re open itunes, with my nano not plugged in, itunes thinks that my nano is plugged in and says its corrupted. If i attempt to do anything in itunes, it freezes up.
In an unrelated problem, i am forced to authorize my computer to play my purchased songs every time i open itunes. It never remembers when I authorize it.
Thanks in advance for your help i definitely appreciate it!

OK, could not resist. I did go ahead and put my old run history back into the new & now restored Nano. No problems. Everything is fine. (Be remember, this is not something that is supported or approved by Apple or Nike.)
There may be no connection between adding the old run data files to the new Nano and the sound & freezing problems. Others have already complained about those.
However, what I will say is that you should never mess around with the Nike+ xml "Preferences" file or the "Best" file. These are invisible for a reason. You can put your old xml run data files into your "latest" folder and thus get them on your new Nano, but you CANNOT change your Totals on your new Nano no matter what you muck around with. However, if you try it and things go wrong, doing a "restore" should save the day.
And it should save the day for sound problems and recurring Nano freezes unless you have a defective Nano.

ITunes problem with speakers

This only started recently, but when I play music on iTunes, it starts off fine but every once in a while, sound will stop coming from one speaker (or sometimes both). I thought it was a problem with my speakers at first, but then I realized that pausing and resuming the song would fix the problem. So I tried playing songs with other programs and tried the audio on websites and they work fine. Not too sure what the problem is.

Some have posted issues using the Apple TV with extended networks.
Is it possible that it is some sort of interference to your network that is causing problems rather than distance. Have you tried using a different wifi channel.

IPhone sync to iTunes problem with version 10.3.1

I've just upgraded to iTunes 10.3.1.55 and my iPhone will no longer sync to iTunes. I've tried downloading and reinstalling but this made no difference.
I get the following message:
"iTunes cannot read the contents of the Iphone. Go to the summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings"!
I picked up elsewhere that there was a problem with 10.3 which was supposed to be corrected with 10.3.1 but it seems that this update had not cured the problem.

Thanks for the info, Tom.
I've gone thru that Interoperating guide but I'll go thru it again. I don't see any error messages in my server logs. This is a single instance although the database does have multiple server instances connected to it. The data source name would be the same for all the server instances. Mine is the only one using the MDBs & WLS 10.3.1, others are using the stateless session beans. I'm using XA drivers & connection factories but I don't have any specific transactions defined in the Java code. Initially I didn't have the auto-acknowledge specified initially but thought maybe that is the problem. I have not knowingly specified any non-transactional config - if I did it would be via an omission.
So, if there is no problem in the WLS 10.3.1 supporting this acknowledgment then I'll keep reviewing my configuration.
Thanks again. I'll try to remember to post my solution.

ITunes - Problems with Audio Configuration

I have been an iTunes user and Apple lover for years and have used these products for years. On my Toshiba laptop I have run iTunes for years without problems. HOWEVER, when I installed the latest iTunes, I get the following error: "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration." What the BLEEP does this mean. Never before have I had an issue. Please advise. Thank you!

I was bitten by this one too, and this fix worked for me too.
This is about the 3rd time that a new version of iTunes has caused me problems - the 2nd time it's been a serious one. Not a great record.

Problem with homesharing after Itunes update

Update Itunes yesterday (10.4.1) Now AppleTV can not connect anymore.
Can not start home sharing in latest version.
Can anyone help please?
Erik

Just as a follow up: creating the "dummy library" mentioned in the above did not solve the issue ... it was worth a shot, though...
In the meantime, I'm getting more and more convinced that it's the ATV2's firmware that's the culprit, not iTunes itself. Like some others I've read about, I have Virus Barrier X6 installed, which did initially block traffic from the ATV2, due to "exessive" queries, but even putting the ATV2's IP on the white list did no good to the problem as a whole.
I've now started loading my iPad with the movies I want to watch and sending them to the ATV2 via AirPlay, which seems to work just fine (as a work around until some other solution becomes available). Am also going to rebuild my wirless network and try connecting the ATV2 to a closer AE base station via Ethernet in an effort to get even better wireless reception. For some reason, however, my iMac, which is only 3 meters from the TC base station is only registering 55% reception (using iStumbler to get this info).
If anybody hears of any improvements in the pipeline (from Apple or through the community), PLEASE post them!
Many thanks and here's hoping for a solution SOON.
