Library Sharing;but not home sharing

I want to share the iTune files when my computer is on and itunes is on, but not permit any importing of my files.
The itunes help section provides the following instructions for locating shared libraries:
1. Choose iTunes>Preferences.
2. Click Sharing and select "Look for shared libraries."
Unfortunately, neither of my computers include that option.  All that i have the ability to do at that tab is to permit Home Sharing (and, of course, importing).
Any idea why?

i guess the help section hasn't been updated. you'll find the option is now a checkbox in preferences > general

  • I am using version iPhoto'11. Since I installed this version I experience some difficulties. After importation of pictures I can see the pictures under Library/Pictures but not under Library/Events. However I can see the event and the number of pictures.

    Hello,
    I am using version iPhoto'11. Since I installed this version I experience some difficulties. After importation of pictures I can see the pictures under Library/Pictures but not under Library/Events. However I can see the event with the event title, the number of pictures and the pictures itselve as small thumbnails. BUt ounce I want to open the event to see the pictures in full screen the event title annouces 0 pictures and no pictures are visble anymore to mee. I have checked if the pictures are marked as hidden and this is not the case. What's going wrong. All the other events are visible in a normal way.
    The albums with the same pictures into them are visible.
    Thanks for your help,
    Raf

    Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - delete  the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1, #2 and #6.

  • Iphone back up in library folder, but not on itunes - pls help

    using iphone 4 and mb pro..  i am trying to restore from a back up. most recent back up says corrupted, so i'm trying to use the one before that (relatively recent) also.  i'm not using icloud. 
    the back up i want doesn't appear in my itunes preferences choices to select, but the one i want to use does appear in my library/mobilesync folder... can anyone walk me thru how to get the one from the mac folder to appear in the itunes preferences or an appropriate solution?   thank you...

    I backed up my computer - but not my iphone on time machine.  Will the backup file on time machine be from the last iphone backup?  or from my last iphone sync? (I won't have access to my time machine drive for a few days, and am stressing out trying to find another way to retrieve the lost info)

  • After I import an album, it appears in my music library.  but not in the sync pane. Where is it?

    After I import an album, it appears in the music library.  But then does not appear in the sync pane.  Sometimes, other albums will not appear.  Why and how do I fix this?

    I have this issue also.  Lots of fancy features from Apple, but can't get the basics right - should be able to sync an album.

  • IPhone will sync @ work, but not @ home: same PC

    My iphone (3GS) will readily sync with my work laptop at work, but only sync with my work laptop when I am home IF I am connected into my work's VPN. If I am not connected into the VPN at home, the iphone won't sync at home. Why?? How can I get it to sync at home (where all my music is stored on a home server) without connecting into the VPN? Fortunately, when I am connected into the VPN from home, my PC can access my home server, but it is still a pain to take the extra step to log into the VPN.
    Thanks.

    I am also experincing Exchange connectivity issues after upgrading to ios 5.1.1.
    Exchange access was working fine in ios 5.1.
    Now, it will verify connection, but not transfer anthing to the iphone.
    I have deleted the account, rebooted the iphone, and readded it many times to no avail.

  • HT1923 ipod library grey but not black or able to play?

    I have connected opod classic to laptop and it sychs and shows connected and the list of songs.  However you cannot play music becaus the list of songs is grey and not black lighting up the play button.

    QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, when you convert videos in iTunes to iPod format they only show the video and no sound since iTunes (really QuickTime) is not looking for the audio track within the video track and it gets lost.
    iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302588
    One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

    but there are other applications besides MPEG Streamclip you can try as well.

  • Files in itunes music library.xml but not visible in itunes

    I have several files that are visible in the xml file, but that do not appear when I search for them in the itunes library. I've seen what looks like attempts to sync these files to my ipod, but they don't exist any more. The files in question are podcasts created by the product formerly known as ipodderx and were converted to m4b.
    How can I fix this without losing all of my ratings and play counts?

    Can you be more specific about the files you're referring to?  Overall, the structure of a "well formed" library is like this:
    The five files listed in the iTunes folder are the four "library" files I listed in my previous file, plus the "sentinel" file (which is normally hidden in Windows) which is associated with maintaining the integrity of the iTunes database.  The Previous iTunes Libraries folder contains date-stamped copies of the library database file - these are generated by the iTunes update process if and when the new version being installed requires a change to the database structure.  These files aren't used by iTunes when in operation, but act as a partial backup mechanism should you want/need to roll back to an earlier release.  Otherwise you have:
    the Album Artwork folder which contains (in an iTunes-specific format) both all the artwork images retrieved from the iTunes Store and cached versions of all artwork images used to speed up display.
    the iTunes Media folder, which contains several subfolders based on the media kinds you have present in your library.  In the "standard" layout (as found when you configure iTunes to organize your library for you) you'll find - within the Music folder - one folder for each artist, each containing one folder for each album by that artist, where each of these contains the actual media files (.m4a, .mp3, etc.) containing your music.  The iTunes Preferences.plist file lurking in the iTunes Media folder determines the actual folder structure in place (this was changed between iTunes 8 and 9, though iTunes will still work if the library is in the "old" layout.
    Does this help?  If not, posting a screen shot showing the files you're referring to would be useful!

  • IPAD WILL CONNECT TO OPEN NETWORK BUT NOT HOME NETWORKS

    My ipad 2 has stopped connecting to my home network  ( Plusnet ) will also not connect to Virgin or Sky home networks but will connect to Asda Walmart
    open network. I have tried reset network,forget network, airplane mode on and off and reset device but nothing seems to work. I have version 8.1.2  and the model number is MC706B/A and would be grateful for any advice.

    When you keyed in your password for your router when you were prompted to enter a password on iPad, what did you enter?  If your router is recognized on your computer as say, Harry's Internet, that's not the password iPad is seeking.  What iPad is looking for is the encryption key from your router.  And that encryption key is often a 13 digit code comprised of numbers and letters. 

  • Video mirroring of Ipad2 using component cable only displays videos but not home screen

    I watched videos online that show that I should be able to view my ipad2 home screen and apps while I'm video mirroring on my television but I can't see anything (only hear the audio) except when I play videos or watch youtube and use apps that have the TV Out function...Is there anyway to fix it?

    I mean I can only view videos that I play on my TV from my Ipad2 but other than that I can't see my Ipad home screen on TV or any other apps that I open, though I can hear the audio. I'm using a component cable. I thought that I should be able to view my home screen etc with the cable?

  • Developer Module only shows blue square with a white cross, images are displayed in the library ok but not im developer Module

    Ive just updated to LR 6 from LR 5.
    The app seemed to launch ok but as I was looking around none of my photos will open in the developer module, they just have a blue box with white cross??

    It seems to be something to do with Lightroom 6 accessing the GPU. I had this problem and under the "Performance" tab in "Preferences" (Edit menu), there's a box that says "Use graphics processor". I unticked this box and now the images are displayed in the developer module. I'll need to investigate further to find out why Lightroom is not working with my GPU but at least I can use it now.

  • I transferred my library to my new computer (old one completely dead!) and the music transferred but not my audio books.  They aren't appearing in my purchased history.  Can anyone help?

    I transferred my library to my new computer (old one dead!) and the music transferred to a new library ok, but not my audiobooks.  My purchased history doesn't show any purchasing in this format.  Can anyone help?

    Audiobooks are a one-time only download from the store, so you won't be able to redownload them via the Purchased link. Do you have a copy of them on your iPod or on your backup of your downloads/library ? If not, and if they are still in your country's store, then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Selecting more than one calendar but not all?

    is it possible on the iTouch iCal application to view more than one calendar but not all? I have one calendar that I would like to have available, but when I check for conflicts, that calendar doesn't matter (if it were included, every day would be a conflict).
    I don't see any way to do this, but I am hoping someone has a workaround or other solution.
    Charles

    Let's say I have three calendars: Home, Business, and Daily Junk. The Daily Junk calendar serves as a type of to-do list (and yes, I know there's a separate todo list -- this is an example). I want to see a view that shows Home and Business at the same time, but not Daily Junk. I can view all -- which gets Daily Junk -- or I can view Home or Business, but not Home and Business but not Daily Junk.
    Am I missing something obvious? When I select a specific calendar, I don't have an option to do more than one -- I get a specific calendar or all of them.
    Thanks much
