My Mac can't see my shared library in iTunes

Io have a little issue here I set up my home sharing between my Mac and my pc and my pc iTunes can't see my mac 's library in the shared icon but my MacBook pro's iTunes can't see my pc's library help please

We now have the same problem. From our iMac we can see our PC's iTunes library, but cannot load it; the progress bar runs indefinitely. The PC, however, can see the iTunes library on the iMac. This used to work.

Mac can't see some shared Windows subfolders

I'm trying to copy all my pics and music from my old PC (running XP) to a new iMac. I shared both the My Music and My Pictures folders on the PC, and the iMac can see and access both folders. However, the Mac cannot see all the subfolders within those shared folders:
1. The iMac missed (seemingly randomly) 31 of 871 subfolders in My Music while I was using the Add to Library function in iTunes. It tried accessing the missing shared subfolders directly via Finder, and could not see them on the Mac.
2. The iMac cannot see any of the 20 subfolders or 10 files in My Pictures.
All of the share settings on the two shared folders are identical. And there's nothing unique about any of the invisible subfolders within the PC's My Music folder - they just can't been seen on the Mac. I have 3 other PCs on the network that can all see all the shared folders.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

On a whim, I tried enabling Simple File Sharing on the Windows PC (I had been setting up everything manually, so I could customize access, etc.), and this did the trick. I must have set something up that my Mac didn't like, but I'm not sure what it was...
You can do this by opening My Computer, then Tools >> Folder Options >> View >> Advanced Settings >> Use Simple File Sharing.

Can i see Family Shared purchases in iTunes on my Mac?

I'm ones of those people who had a separate Apple ID for iTunes purchases and another for iCloud.
I have successfully set up Family share on my iPhone to allow me to use my iCloud Apple ID in the iTunes store and still access my purchases from the old iTunes-only Apple ID.
Now in the iTunes app on my iPhone, I can see TV shows purchased with the older account when I'm signed in with my Family Share iCloud Apple ID, however I can't seem to figure out how to do this on the desktop version of iTunes.
Is there a way to view all Family shared purchases in iTunes on the desktop?
thanks

If they were purchased from iTunes then connect the phone to your Mac's iTunes and the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases should copy them over. If they came from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then you will need a third-party program on your Mac to copy them back - there are some listed half-way down this page : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
If by 'missing' you mean that you have them listed in the Music part of your iTunes library but get the 'would you like to locate' message when trying to play them then you will need to delete them from there for the Transfer Purchases to work - otherwise that will see those entries in your library and assume that you still have them somewhere and not copy them back.

Can't see home sharing library on new PC

I have a 7 year old Windows XP PC, and a brand new Windows 7 PC. I would like to move my iTunes files from the old PC to the new one, so it looks like Home Sharing is the sensible way to do it. I have made sure that Home Sharing is enabled on both PCs, that sharing is enabled for the whole library on each, and that the latest iTunes is installed on both machines. I can see the library from the Windows 7 PC (3 songs) on the Windows XP PC, but can't see the library for the Windows XP PC (about 4000 files) on the Windows 7 PC. Why can't I see the XP library on the Windows 7 PC?
Incidentally, I also have an iPhone, through which I can see the Windows XP library, but not the Windows 7 library!

OK, I'm not sure exactly how, but I've managed to fix it.
Shortly after writing that post, I renamed the libraries on each PC, and was then able to see both on my iPhone, but still couldn't see the XP library on my Windows 7 PC.
I had done a soft reset on the wireless router earlier, but I decided to try a complete cold restart - turned off both PCs, and unplugged the power cable to my router, left all off for a few minutes, plugged the router back in, turned my old PC back on, loaded iTunes on that, then turned my new PC back on, at which point some message came on about the firewall, and then loaded iTunes. So I'm syncing now - it's worked!
I guess that's another problem solved by turning it off and back on again!

How can i access my Shared Library in Seagate Cental on my Iphone?

I have a Seagate Central which has an itunes Library. I can see the library in iTunes in my MAC, but don't see the shared library in my iPhone. The home sharing is on for both my iphone and mac and they seem to work. I have gone to MORE in iTunes but my shared Library is not coming.
Note: Seagate Central does have iTunes Server in built into it.
Please tell me how I can listen to my shared library in my iphone5.

How are you "seeing" it?
Yuu mean this is the iTunes library you are using?

iTunes on your iPhone is for purchasing items.
Use the Music (and Videos) app on the iPhone to see the Shared library from iTunes on your Mac.

Can't see my win7 library on my mac, yet I can see mac's in windows (itunes 11)

Let me start by saying that I did not use Home Sharing before, It's my first time I tried to use that.
I have 2 computers, one of them is PC, connected to router via ethernet cabel, and the second one is MBP, connected to the network by wifi.
I set up a Home Sharing, and the problem is, that I can browse my Mac library in WIndows without any problems, but my Mac can't see windows library at all.
Any solutions possible? It's not that it does not work; in fact it does, but only in one way.

Purchasing the music only gives you one download for it, but you can move and backup the song files as if they were any other type of file; to locate them, control-click a purchased item in iTunes, choose Get Info, and navigate to the listed location. Drag them into the open iTunes window on the second Mac.

You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.

I can see the shared library, but it will not open, need help

Books from the iTunes Store are intended to be read using the iBooks app on an iOS device.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

How Can I See My Entire Library?

I created my library from the iTunes store and from my personal CD collection. I created it on a Windows desktop machine. Now, when using my Windows laptop, only my purchased tunes show in my library. How can I see my whole library?

Migrate your iTunes library from the desktop, or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device if that is no longer possible.

Changed my Virgin to Sky, now I can't see my Shared Drive. Why?

Hello
Got a Seagate Central as my shared wireless drive.
Worked fine until we got rid of Virgin and replaced with Sky.
Now I can't see the Shared Drive wirelessly. Only works when I connect via Ethernet.
What am I doing wrong please?

You will have to talk to the Sky technical people about this. As you are replacing a previous system (in effect) they should be able to confirm their way of meeting your needs.
