ITunes Sharing with Vista, Handbrake movies

I have two machines, a 10.5.7 Leopard, a fully updated Vista, and fully updated iTunes on each.
I am sharing music and videos via iTunes sharing from the Mac to the PC. The music works, the video does not, except for one. That single video was exported from Final Cut Pro as I recall, the rest were ripped with Handbrake. I suspect an issue with atoms. I don't want to copy any media to the Vista PC, I want sharing to work flawlessly.
Can anyone help?

Well, I think that's ridiculous, especially since I have a legitimate use for this app. I have unencrypted student films that I made with other film students and have every legal right to possess as per the agreement the University of North Texas has with its students. Each member of my class was given a DVD, I watch everything on my Apple TV and computers, so what did I do, I ripped each of these 10 minutes shorts with Handbrake, because I love the H.264 codec. We shot our five films on 16mm and it is glorious on my Apple TV.
Commercials I was paid to make and had the original files to in Final Cut Pro were exported with Compressor, Apple TV preset. These play in Vista just fine.
Apple clearly thinks we have the right to use OUR OWN FILMS with iTunes, iMovie and Final Cut Pro both have export options for iTunes/iPhone/ATV.
So again, I implore the help of the forum. Can anyone help me get this junky Vista machine to play my films?

  • Help with iTunes Shared Library (Vista and OS X)

    I am trying to share my Vista-based iTunes library with my new iMac. I have an issue now that iTunes does not let me select the shared iTunes library that resides on the PC. The following is how things are set up
    1) I've moved all of my PC-based music, my iTunes Library (.itl) file and the cover art to an external HD on my Vista PC.
    2) I've set permissions on all of the Vista files (music, library, art) to be read/write for available to all connected users.
    3) I have also mounted the PC-based external drive on my iMac. Permissions seem to be ok, as when I view files via the Finder, they are visable and accessible.
    4) However, when I try to open iTunes on iMac to change the shared library (using the OPTION key), the iTunes Library.itl file on the hard drive is completely greyed out. No matter how I change permissions or sharing on the Vista machine, I cannot seem to select the shared library.
    5) Interesting that I HAVE successfully accessed the same library through another Windows-based machine (Windows XP). In that instance I can access the network drive and select the iTunes Library.itl file no problem. Music streams fine after I do that. Also, from my iMac I am able to create files in the same directory where the iTunes files reside (using program like Text Editor) so it seems I do have write access and permissions to the directory.
    Any clue why this is happening? It seems like iTunes is the one program that is not picking up the permissions from the iMac, but other Mac programs are. It's driving me a little nuts at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thx

    Bump. Same issue. Help please.

  • ITunes sharing on Vista non-admin account

    I've looked fairly hard and can't find any reference to exactly this problem. Any ideas?
    Setup is a home network of 3 macs and 2 pc laptops, based around a NetGear DG834Gv2. 2 macs running 10.5.4, other mac running Tiger, PCs running Vista. All updates applied.
    All iTunes sharing works across all machines except that the Vista laptops won't access the shared music on the other machines when using a non-admin account. They work fine when logged in as admin but give "can't access shared library (-39), Check firewall allows access to port 3689" etc. when logged in as normal user. The Windows Firewall is off and I've tried turning off the Norton firewall that was pre-installed as part of the security setup - no different.
    The macs can see the music shared from the PCs - just not the other way round.
    Help!
    Thanks,
    Pete

    I have the same setup as yourself (standard user for everyday use, admin user for software install and system settings change) and I was able to set up FMM in the admin account with no problems, except some pre-requisites: while logged in to the admin profile you have to 1) install the Lion HD Recovery Update, 2) enable location services in the Security & Privacy PrefPane and 3) enable Wake For Network Access in the Power Adapter section of the Energy Saver PrefPane.
    I didn't want to set up iCloud sync in the admin profile but Apple made me to. Anyway, it seems I don't have to stay logged in to the admin account for FMM to work. You'll notice that, even though FMM has been configured on the admin account, it will still appear as "authorization required" in the standard account.
    I hope this helps.

  • Using one iTunes library with Vista and XP on a single PC

    Since I have converted my whole CD collection into AAC, my iTunes library
    is quite large. I have now installed Vista on a second partition as dual-boot
    with my old XP. I would like to access my iTunes library with both OSs - but can (and how) this be done ? I already changed the location in both Itunes to the same path, but the second iTunes running under Vista isnt able to import the songs.
    Any hints?
    Thanks in advance,
    Andy

    It's the "itunes library.itl" file in Windows, and the same thing without the itl file extension on Macs.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660
    You might be able to get it to update both copies in each partition with something like TuneRanger or SuperSync. That would run into some money, esp a Tune Ranger license for both Mac and Windows.
    Why not put your ITL file on a USB stick or external hard drive, and run your itunes library from that? You can tell the Mac to use the .itl for iTunes by changing properties on it. That's what I did so I can sync my iPods from either my XP PC or Mac and not get that dratted message about "iPod synced to another library".

  • Itunes sharing with Photoshop Elements?

    I have Photoshop Elements 9 on Windows 7.
    My wife has an iPad 2. I'm getting an iPad 3.
    When I set up iTunes syncing for my wife's iPad I created a folder of some special
    family pictures and I just sync that one folder to her iPad.
    I'm the photographer and PSE user in the house.
    For my iPad I'd like to be able to share more of my PSE images.
    I have about 8,000 and 32GB of images in PSE.
    I have made extensive use of tag keywords to identify all the people, pets, places, events,etc. in the picture.
    So I don't have a lot of albums. But I can find any picture by selecting the right keyword tags.
    My understanding is that PSE stores the tag information back into the actual image.
    I saw in iTunes on my Windows PC that there is a selection under Photos for Sharing with Photoshop.
    What are my options there? For my new iPad. I think my wife's is ok as it is.
    What I'd really like is to get a lot of the images from PSE onto my iPad.
    And have that same keyword selection ability on the iPad so that I can find pictures easily.
    If there is a better way to do that than through iTunes syncing then I'm open to that as well.
    Thanks for any thoughts or advice. We love these iPads!

    While I haven't heard a solution to posts I've made to both Adobe and iTunes sites, I have found a manual workaround.
    The catalog files that iTunes uses are of the format "catalog.pseXdb". 
    In my case, the new catalog is "catalog.pse13db" and the old is "catalog.pse9db". These files are found in catalog folders like: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\Elements 9 Catalog
    With iTunes and PSE closed,
    1) copy the catalog.pse13db file to the "Elements 9 Catalog folder. 
    2) rename the old catalog.pse9db file to keep it and deactivate it
    3) rename catalog.pse13db to catalog.pse9db
    iTunes will continue to use the older catalog file, but it now has new catalog contents.  The manual part is that this will need to be done prior to each time you want to sync new catalog content to your devices.
    Somewhere around PSE version 7, the catalog file format changed, so this technique may not work for upgrades from about v7 upward.

  • Does 32-bit itunes work with Vista 64-bit ?

    will the latest 32-bit version of itunes install and run properly on the Vista 64-bit OS ?
    this is my last attempt to get itunes to work on my machine, tried everything else and frankly disgusted thus far with the freezing, etc.

    i'm curious....if previous versions of itunes were installed, and i run the updater or do a full uninstall of apple software on my machine, does that completely wipe everything that was installed ? for example, the Gear drivers, USB drivers, etc ?
    after numerous times trying to use itunes, it binds up (randomly), and eventually binds up windows. i can't shut down itunes, even with taskman. only option is to hard shut down my machine. up until yesterday i had not had a problem doing this, windows booted up fine. but last night i corrupted my OS, i finally got it back up and running, but there were problems after the repair. so i chose to wipe the raid array and start from scratch.
    if a fresh, first time install of itunes 8 x64 will work fine, i will do it, but before i load any apple apps on my machine, this time around i'm backing up the entire partition just in case.
    if i still get the problems i had before, i am reverting back to the pre-apple state, and going with wmp.
    the logic here is: if a company goes on tv and bashes it's competition (Apple bashing Vista), then it's a no brainer that the problems inherit to windows users are 'seeded' by Apple. I cannot accept that Apple doesn't know what they are doing when they write software, because they are bright enough to write such software that does so many fantastic things for Macs, how is doing the same for windows that much more complicated ?

  • 'iTunes has stopped working' error message on iTunes startup with vista

    Today i downloaded iTunes 7.1, i opened it and all seemed well, i played a few tracks etc.
    but, when i plugged my ipod in i was told that iTunes has stopped working,
    i tried to open it again, but the same message pops up.
    so i restarted the computer, tried again, with and without the ipod in, still no success.
    So i re installed itunes. Noting, i even re-dowloaded it, but still nothing.
    i can't even open it, let alone sync my ipod.

  • Itunes sharing with own icloud setup for family of 5

    Hi, we currently have 4 iphones, 1 ipad, 3 ipods, and 1 pc all under one itunes account id.  However, we are now running into storage problems and my daughter just go a macbook pro and leaving for college.  So my question is how can we all still share purchased content but have our own storage? Is this possible and if so how do I go about setting this up? I don't want to set up a different itunes account for each person because my daughters often want the same songs and apps and I don't want to purchase them twice. Thanks in advance for any help!

    To avoid sharing and merging your iCloud data, you will need to put each person's devices on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID.  You can continue to all share the same ID for iTunes; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.
    Creating separate accounts will keep everyone's iCloud data separated, and give each person's devices their own 5GB of free storage for their device backups, and a separate iCloud email account/address.  However, Find My iPhone (iPad, iPod, Mac) is tied to the iCloud ID so they cannot be tracked together on the same map.  You will have to sign into each iCloud account separately (on icloud.com or the Find My iPhone app) in order to locate devices using that iCloud ID.

  • 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.
    Voyagerman

    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?"

  • ITunes Sharing With Windows 7 Starter

    I have 3 computers in my home. 2 run XP, 1 runs Windows 7 starter. All 3 have iTunes on them. I have sharing turned on for all of them. The 2 XP computers have no problem sharing a library. The 7 Starter netbook shows the library, but when I click on it to show the contents, it flashes on for a split second, then the shared library disappears from the menu. Any help would be appreciated.

    Doublechecking bill ... what's the display resolution on the netbook? (In particular, is it at least 768 vertical?)
    Checking because although iTunes will run on Starter, you might have some trouble changing preferences on a netbook with, say, a 600 vertical display, as per the following document:
    iTunes: May not display all options at low screen resolutions

  • ITunes sharing with home PC

    I want to have some of the music from my iPod on my home PC. I heard I can share iTunes with my home PC by sending via AOL IM, is this true?

    No, to the best of my knowledge, it's not true, at least not other than by using a file-transfer feature (if such exists in AOL IM) to copy the track. The only way to share tracks with iTunes is by using the built-in sharing feature (which only works when the systems are on the same network) or by copying the tracks to the other computer.

  • Need help setting up a file sharing with VISTA

    Hi,
    Can somebody help me with setting up a connection to a Windows Vista computer. I followed all the instructions from this forum but still it doesn't work.
    Here is what I'm doing:
    1) Sharing -> File Sharing -> enabled
    2) Sharing -> Options -> activating SMB
    3) Network -> Options -> WINS -> "WORKGROUP"
    4) Network -> Options -> 802.1X -> activating 802.1X
    Under Sharing I see a lable which tells me that Windows user can access my computer via the address smb://x.x.x.x
    In Windows this address doesn't work and I cannot see my Mac computer nor can I see the windows computer on the mac.
    It worked so well with TIGER.
    Do you have set the DHCP to automatic address on both, Mac and windows or do you use a static ip address?

    In windows when you do "map network drive" you need to enter "\\server\share" (without quotes).
    In Vista, go to the Windows Button > Computer. The "map network drive" option is in the bar in the top of the window. You may need to enlarge the window or click on the little expand arrow to see it.
    smb://server is used when you're connecting to a windows share from the MacOS.

  • ITunes sharing with multiple users on one iMac

    I have a sizeable library that I would like to consolidate on our new iMac and allow four users (my family) to use the one library in their respective iTunes. There was a post last year for a solution to use aliases to accomplish this and I followed the steps as best I could. It sort of worked but I must have started with my iTunes library in a different location because it didn't work out as easily as the article shows.
    http://discussions.apple.com/post!reply.jspa?messageID=10283304
    In order for the music to show up in iTunes even for the first user account, I had to "add" the music to library from the new location (the alias) essentially creating a new library. I guess that is due to the location of the extra files (e.g. library, extras, etc.). For the above method to work, where exactly do the library files (not the actual music files) need to be? Also, is there a way to use that folder called "Automatically Add to iTunes?" And lastly how do I reset some features, like playlists, using Time Machine? There doesn't seem to be much info into the advanced use and trouble shooting of iTunes.
    I appreciate any help someone can provide.

    Thanks but that doesn't really answer any of my questions. That method does not allow you to add songs from any account. You still have to manage multiple "library" files, add songs to the library manually for each user, and you end up with duplicate songs. The method that is linked in my previous post is a great one, I just need to know where the library files go in relation to the actual songs (meaning inside or outside of the iTunes folder). I guess I need to know how iTunes is set up "out of the box" since I have moved some stuff around and the data files and the music files are in different folders than they were (or would be) in a new installation.
