Not all libraries appear on Home Sharing

Hi All,
Short version: My Win7PC has home sharing on but will not show up on any of my mac computers, but it does appear on my iOS devices. Any fix ideas?
I am trying to completely connect our home computers to Home SHaring and am having weird results. I have 2 desktops, 2 laptops, and some iOS devices.
Desktop1 is a Windows 7 PC with a lot of free HD space I want to use as a music server as well as other things.
Desktop2 is an old MDD G4 PowerMac
Both Desktops are connected via Ethernet to the main router.
Laptop 1 is a Macbook running 10.6.8
Laptop 2 is a MacBook Pro running 10.7...
Both Laptops are connected via WiFi
All computers are on, running latest version of iTunes (except the G4), and logged in to Home Sharing with the same ID
I see all 4 libraries on my iOS devices
Desktop 1 can see everyone (Desktop 2, Laptop 1 and 2)
Desktop 2 can see Laptop 1 and 2, NO DESKTOP 1
Laptop 1 can see Laptop 2 and Desktop 2 NO DESKTOP 1
Laptop 2 can see Laptop 1 and Desktop 2 NO DESKTOP 1
so, the PC can see everyone, but nobody can see the PC (Desktop 1) I spent an hour turning off all firewalls I can find, and allowing all rules I could which allowed it to see the other computers, but I still cant get it to show up on the other computers.
But again, I can see everything on all the iOS devices (2 iPads and 2 iPhones)
Any ideas appreciated
Thanks,
Joey

On a Contacts search, not all contacts appear

Hi
I have iphone 5, ios7.
Seemms very odd recently, not using groups - all contacts are displayed. But when I use the 'search' in the Contacts App, not all contacts appear. Dispite the fact that if I scroll through manually, I can see and access the very contact I was searching for. This applies to quite a few contacts without any apparent consistent link between the tricky ones.
Any ideas folks?
Many thanks

Thanks for the quick reply :)
The search doesn't work even if I put in a name exactly as its listed. It used to be for example if I typed 'A' then all the names starting with 'A' would list but now I get nothing.

TS2972 I've done all these steps and home sharing is still NOT showing up on my approved devices.

I followed all the steps in iTunes Home Sharing setup and I am still unable to view sharing in iTunes.
Using MacBook Pro and iPhone 4.

Okay... so what does this have to do with iTunes for Windows?

How do I go from using a single Apple ID with multiple libraries to using home sharing?

Until now my wife and I have opted to share our iTunes/Apple ID and use multiple libraries to manage our iPhones. This has become increasingly difficult...with issues such as having apps I've downloaded that she doesn't want automatically downloading to her library and even her phone. Now, add in the fact that I want to continue to manage my iTunes library from our PC and allow her to manage hers from her new MacBook Pro and we have good reason to move to home sharing with separate Apple IDs for each of us.
My question is the logistics of doing so. Not only do we need to replicate her existing library on a new Apple ID, but then we need to migrate all the necessary files over to her MacBook Pro. Quite honestly, I don't even know where to begin. Is it possible to associate her existing library with her new Apple ID without having to create her library from scratch? Then is there anyway to migrate only the items in her library over to her MacBook Pro as opposed having to move all of our music & apps? Where do I begin?
Thanks!

Okay...I misunderstood and thought we needed separate ID's...but I see we actually need to use the same ID which simplifies things in my mind a bit. But still some followups...
1) What do you mean by restore the library on her computer? Simply open her library file in iTunes?
2) On our current machine...media is actually split between a couple folders but all under the My Music folder. But there are multiple subfolders (iTunes, Her iPhone, and Amazon MP3). I presume as long as I copy over the entire My Music folder there shouldn't be any access issues when the library is opened on her machine?
3) Is there any easy way to get rid of all the extra files that she doesn't have in her library? For instance, all my music and apps that she doesn't actually want, is there any easy way of separating those out from the files that are actually linked to in her library? Vice versa for me...once we've go her library set up on her machine, any easy way to purge all the extra files from my PC that aren't actually in my library?
Thanks!

.pdf files created in Photoshop - Not all layers appear in Connect

So I have created a marketing flyer in Photoshop that contains images and text. I save this out as a .pdf file and upload to Connect. When I open the file, many of the layers, usually the text layers, are missing. I've tried saving the original Photoshop file a number of different ways, like flattening, etc, and the .pdf file a lot of different ways. But it still appears in Connect missing some of the text layers. BTW, the original .pdf file is fine.

Understand that not all Adobe PDF features will translate completely in an Adobe Connect meeting if using the Share Document pod.
When you upload a Powerpoint or PDF file using that pod, the document is converted on the fly to Adobe Flash format so it can be streamed very efficiently. Not all features in Powerpoint and PDF files will convert to an equivalent look and feel when converted. If you see inconsistencies, then try using a different font or font size. Some features just won't translate. Of course as new versions of Adobe Flash are released then more features will convert. So, beware that if you must have a document look exactly as it does in the native application you always have the option of screen sharing where no conversion takes place. Just beware when you use screen sharing you are using a lot more network bandwidth. It's a trade off but you do have a choice!

HT4352 I have followed all the instructions on home sharing and it used to work perfectly. With the new apple OS upgrade my apple TV now longer sees anything, even though I I applied all home sharing settings again. Anyone know how to fix this?

I am trying to get home sharing to work on the applie tv and its not working after a Mac OS update. It has not worked for about a month and use to work fine. Has anyone else experienced this problem. Is Apple working on a fix for the problem? Is there a work around?
Thanks,
Anthony

A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports

Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them.

My Apple tv has connection problems. I receive not connected to internet or home sharing not on even though it is

Apple TV is allways asking me to turn on home sharing, home sharing is allready on so I have turn it off and then turn it back on. Also it is telling me that it is not connected to the internet even though I entered my network key correctly and all my other Apple wireless devices are working perfectly. Any ideas please ?

Having reread your post, i note you say you connected the thernet cable to a wifi extender, are you by any chance using the wifi extender when trying wifi and by extender do you mean a WDS extended network. I have seen quite a few reports that networks extended using WDS have problems.
Although it may be a weak signal, are you able to temporarily disable WDS to see if this resolves the connection issue.

Remote not working on iPod touch, Home Sharing

I returned home to school over winter break and tried to play music from my laptop (Windows) in my iTunes library, like I did normally with school. The only change that would affect this was the wifi network.
Anyway, I clicked on the Ramote app on my iPod, and it had a blank scren and read "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV" using my account. It was already on, and enabled, but turned it off, and back on again just to make sure. Still didn't work. On the blank screen on Remote, I clicked the Settings symbol on the top right, and it prompted me to "Add an iTunes Library" so I tapped that. Next I had to type in a passcode, and it said I would need to type it in in iTunes after selecting my iPod under the devices list. I selected my iPod on the Devices list in my iTunes, but nothing popped up for me to type the numbers into. So, I typed the numbers with the iTunes window open, which obviously didn't work.
I looked on the forums and tried closing and reoppening iTunes, turning on and off the wifi on both my iPod and laptop, deleting and reinstalling the Remote app, turning off wifi sync, repairing Bonjour, doing a hard reset on my iPod, going to edit-->preferences-->sharing and turning it on and off, under preferences under devices I selected to only allow paired remotes but when I went back to it the check mark was gone, I don't have iTunes match on, and under my "Devices" only my iPod shows up (not one with the remote button). I'm clueless. I have the mose recent version of iTunes, and iOS 6 on my iPod.
Help please?

Under Edit > Preferences > Devices, did you check "Allow iTunes audio control from remote speakers"? I checked that and "Share my library" under Edit > Preferences > Sharing, I'm not sure which one worked but it did. I opened the Remote app on my iPod, and the name of my iPod showed up on the iTunes list on the left, with a little remote icon. I clicked on that and it opened up the spot where you can input your 4 digit code from the remote app.

Copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

Not all pictures appears in my screen saver

How come with my screen saver picture from my photos flux only the last three appear.
I have 175 photos in my flux and only the last 3 one's appear.

As I said the photo stream will only have access to photos from the last 30 days. You cannot change that.
If you want to choose photos from your computer then make sure home sharing is enabled on Apple TV and iTunes. In iTunes select file - home sharing - choose photos to share. Keep on mind it only caches a small amount for the screensaver, typically around 100 photos.

Not all songs appearing in Artist view

I have an issue where under Artist view, which is what I normally use to browse songs on my iPod, not all of the songs that are stored on my iPod appear. So far, it appears that if I have an artist with songs under only one album (and tagged as such) and also a few miscellaneous songs that aren't tagged with album name information, then when I select that Artist under the artist view, it automatically opens the album and only shows those songs. When I hit menu to go back, it just goes back to the listing of all artists I have, instead of giving me an "All" option that will allow me to see the additional songs that I have. If I want to find those songs, I have to scroll through the list of 3500+ songs under the all songs listing, which obviously takes forever, even scrolling quickly.
I have verified the tags on all 3500+ songs, and have reset/reinstalled and deleted/reloaded all software and songs, multiple times.
Is this a bug? If not, how can I get these songs to show properly under the Artist view?

There are a couple of things you could check out that might explain what's happening. Usually two things contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
If tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album.

Not All Applications Appearing in iTunes

Some of the apps that I have purchased appear in iTunes, but not all of them. How do I get all of them to appear?

I too am having this same issue. Purchases made on my 16GB iPhone do not transfer back onto my iTunes.
- I only have one Apple Store account.
- I have tried the Transfer Purchases option in iTunes and that appears to do the work of copying the applications, but after all is said and done the applications still do not appear in iTunes.
I am using a new unibody MacBook running OS X 10.5.6, iTunes 8.0.2. iPhone is a 16GB 3G running 2.2 (5G77) firmware.

Not all photos appearing in ipad when synching from mac?

Not all my photos which I have synched from my MAC appear in the IPAD. Any ideas why?

Do you get any error message ? Have you tried deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-trying the photo sync to see if they then copy over ? The location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
