Networked Macs can no longer see iTunes 7.6 shares

Since installing iTunes 7.6 (29) I cannot access my library from any of the Macs in the house. I keep getting a firewall blocking error message.
The only way I can gain access is to switch off the Leopard OS 10.5.1 firewall altogether! Nasty.
I deleted the 7.5 iTunes app from the Firewall preferences and attached the latest 7.6 version...Rebooted.
I deleted the iTunes Shared folder from Sharing preferences and re-attached it...Rebooted.
Neither had the slightest effect; only switching off the firewall will permit network access.
Anyone know what is causing this problem and why switching off the firewall is the only way I can share my iTunes library over the network?
Additionally, This latest iTunes is also stalling for seconds at a time every once in a while.
iTunes is slipping from bad to worse...
I just want a comprehensive music library database which will work sans the bloody iTunes store.
I'm beginning to think iTunes needs re-writing from the ground up as a fully relational database with the option to connect to the Apple iTunes store

My MacBookPro is totally up to date: runs OS X Snow Leopard and the update 10.6.2. The iPhoto is version 8.1.1, iTunes version is 9.0.2. and iPhone has software version 3.1.2.
Up to a few days ago all worked perfectly but since yesterday iPhoto doesn't see my iPhone.
I've reinstalled Snow Leopard and checked for software updates for all ... no solution!
I've seen NUMEROUS guys with the exact same problem but I saw NO answer to solve the problem (except for deleting photos from emails etc which is bollocks!).
Can Apple not help by fixing the glitch in their software, which it obviously is.

Mac can no longer see network

Up until a month ago, I was able to see the two PC's (running XP) on out home network from my Mac Pro, and vice versa. I am no longer able to see or be seen by the two PC's, yet I can successfully ping from the Mac to the PC's, and the PC's to the Mac without any problem. The PC's have no problem seeing/sharing with each other.
Is there a way to re-initialize the Mac's networking settings, so I can redo from scratch? I'm guessing a setting/file got corrupted.
Thanks in advance

I'm back up and running, .... for now :~). It looks like it was firewall issues, but on the Mac. I haven't made any changes in this area since setting the original setup - don't know why it changed. Hadn't locked out for these settings, but the machine is in a secure location.
Thanks for the guidance to check the firewall settings.
The following is a list of what I checked/modified - for anyone else who is in the same boat and looking for possible things to check.
I disabled the firewall on the PC with no change in results. I also ran netstat from the Mac and saw the IP addresses for the two PC's. Ran netstat from one of the PC's, and only saw the other PC - no Mac. Looked at the firewall logfile on the mac and saw that the Mac was denying nmbd data from the PC's. the firewall was set to "Allow only essential services". I changed it to "Allow all Incoming connections" and was able to see all machines. I then set it to "set access for specific services and applications", which is what I thought was it's last setting - all seems back to normal.

HT4759 After updating I can no longer see iTunes or iBooks, what do I do to see them again?

After updating iOS, now I can't see the iTunes app or iBooks. The buttons are still there, but when you click on it, it comes up blank. How do I get it back?

Try this
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).

I've updated to the most recent version of iTunes and I can no longer see any of my old music on my mac. All the music is still available on my ipad. How can i download the music on my mac?

First, are you positive it is really not there? Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup. Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

ITunes + Vista = my computer can no longer see my DVDrw drive...

I just downloaded iTunes 7.6.2.9 onto my Dell Inspiron E1705 - and when I restart my computer, the computer can no longer see my Optical drive (DVDrw). I contacted Dell support, and they changed something in the regedit limits or something(I'm not a techy lol), and my optical drive was back.
But the next day when I opened iTunes I got a message that says:
"Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
So I reinstalled iTunes.
I restarted my computer, and it could no longer see my optical drive AGAIN. My DVDrw drive gets an error that says "This device cannot start (Code 10)." When I check for solutions it says "Could not load driver software."
I go back to Dell support and tell them my optical drive isn't working. They do the exact same thing to fix it (deleting some limit with regedit) and it works. I open iTunes, and I get the iTunes Warning (Setup Assistant Error).
I asked the Dell tech what the deal was, and he said iTunes isn't compatible at all with Vista.
But according to Mac's website it is...
Anyone know what's going on?!?!

I am having the exact same behavior as xhollysue!
It goes like this:
1. Install ITunes, lose optical disk drives hardware (they don't even show up in Windows Explorer).
2. Use RegEdit to disable Upper Filters at HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE1 0318}, optical drive hardware re-appears.
3. iTunes requires a re-install to permit CD burning, and your back to square one.
I got the above fix NOT from a Dell technician, but, instead, from a Microsoft technician, which cost me $70.
I would strongly urge Apple to research this issue and come up with a more reasonable workaround since (1) the iPhone is being adopted by many traditional MS users and the use of iTunes is an integral part of the iPhone technology architecture; (2) iPhone 3G is just now shipping and will bring even more into the Apple camp; and (3) iTunes is clearly a better media player.
Come on Apple. Let's get some enthusiam and take advantage of this opportunity!

Since upgrading to Lion i can no longer see other computers in my network and vice versa. What has gone on?

As the title suggests! I can no longer see any of the computers in my network, Mac or otherwise.
I have checked sharing permissions on all required computers and all seems to be good and have disabled firewalls.
I notice a few people have had similar problems with screen sharing but I am not even seeing another station to pottentialy share a screen with!

What content are you wanting to copy of the iPad ? You should be able to copy off anything that you've purchased from Apple (films, music, ibooks, apps etc) by connecting the iPad to your computer's iTunes and doing File > Transfer Purchases. If you want to copy off music copied from your own CDs or purchased from other sites then you will need to find a program for your computer that can copy them off – iTunes won't copy them off.
For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit or saved from emails/websites then you should be able to copy them off via the Windows camera wizard.
For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
Content in third-party apps (documents and files etc) then how you copy that content off will depend upon what the apps that they are in support e.g.either via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

My ITunes gift card I brought, the Reemdem code had bin wide out so I can no longer see that code what do I do

My ITunes gift card I brought, the Reemdem code had bin wide out so I can no longer see that code what do I do?

"bin wide out"?
If you mean you cannot read the code on the back of the card take it back to the store you purchased it from. If the numbers are not visable because you scratched them out I don't know if the store will replace or refund that. If you can read some of the numbers you could just keep trying a combination of letters and numbers to replace the missing ones. This will take a while depending on how many inputs are missing. You will have to use 0 through 9 and I am guessing A through Z.

In the latest verision of ITunes (downloaded yesterday) I can no longer see how large (in GB's) my music library or playlists are. This is a very valuable function and it seems to have disappeared. Anyone know where it is?

Go to the View menu and turn on the Status Bar. If you don't see the menus, go to the small icon with the arrow at the extreme upper left and select "Show Menu Bar":

I can no longer see the account balance on my iTunes gift card. Why?

Where can I find the account balance from my iTunes gift card, on my macbook pro, in the iTunes store?

Thank you responding. (you're the only response I received). I did, and was doing, as you suggested. Before the latest iTunes update, I was able to see my account balance (a whopping $9.98), but can no longer see the amount. I've tried logging out and back into iTunes to no avail. Same goes on my iPhone and iPod, and iPad. The system keeps asking for credit card info, but I'm hesitant to do that. (That's why we purchase iTunes gift cards, isn't it ?) !
Anyway, Thank you for your assistance. Next stop is the local Apple Store and see what the Genus bar can do. !!

I have 3 iTunes libraries on my one one computer and since I updated to the new version I can no longer see who's library I am in. It used to show at the top of iTunes the name of the library I was in. Is there a way I can tell which library I am in?

No. Frequently the apps take up more storage space on the iPod that the file download size.

HT201322 itunes 11.0.3 - in my iTunes library I can no longer see purchased TV shows and Movies that are not downloaded to my computer. also In my Itunes account i have no hidden TV shows or Movies

I'm running itunes 11.0.3 -
in my iTunes library I can no longer see purchased TV shows and Movies that are not downloaded to my computer.
In my Itunes account i have no hidden TV shows or Movies
I used to be able to view all cloud and downloaded content. I no longer can.

There used to be option to show items that are in the cloud in your library, but I can't find where that now is (unless it's been removed). You should be able to see what items that you can re-download via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (at the top right of that there should be a 'not on this computer' button)
Edit : Just seen your reply, though I don't appear to have that setting on mine.

HT1399 I just downloaded the newest version of itunes, and when I connect my ipod nano (3rd gen), I can no longer see my playlists (on the left hand side). I hate the new format...any way to revert back to the old one?

I just downloaded the newest versionof itunes. Now when I plug in my ipod, I can no longer see my playlists (listed on the left hand side). The new format is very confusing! How do I drag and drop songs into specific playlists I have? Is there a way to revert back to the old itunes?

I had the same question. Someone answered perfectly here post https://discussions.apple.com/message/20575126#20575126
The answer was click View > Show sidebar. Devices and playlists will display in the left sidebar once again.

I can no longer see the top menu bar in itunes. where you see the status of syncing. where you have the option to click and move a song you are playing to the middle of the song, etc.

It's iTunes screen menubar:

When I synced my phone with my mac, the music that I had in my phone got transferred to my mac. 140 songs to be exact, however I can no longer see the songs on my phone, only the purchased album I have appears. How can I get the songs I had back?

Connect your phone to computer, and sync like this. Check the boxes for the playlists, artists, albums you want to sync. Then click Apply. If you have enough space on your phone, you can choose Entire music library.
