Not seeing entire library

I have my itunes library with home share enabled on my maxbook air, running last itunes and mountain lion. My apple tv3 can connect and see the entire library. However my ipad running the remote application to control the library only sees a subset of the songs. I noticed if i went get info on the macbook air then that particular song would then appear in the remote library on the ipad? Any suggestions, looks like an indexing issue of some sort?

You select the photos that are shared to your Apple TV from the advanced menu in iTunes.
Apple TV 2 is not intended to show up under the devices list in iTunes.

HT3819 How do I share just one movie (not my entire library) from my itunes library with an authorized computer using home sharing?

How do I share just one movie (not my entire library) from my itunes library with an authorized computer using home sharing?

many thanks.
That should be possible.
From his library connect to your library via Home Sharing.
Select the name of the shared library in the source pane of your itunes, and click on the wee disclosure triangle to the left of the name of the library. Does "Films" appear beneath the name of the library?
Here's a screenshot of what I mean.
Select "Films". In the right-hand pane you should see the item you want to transfer. Just select that item, and click "Import".
Use the same basic technique to get one or a few songs from your library transferred to his library. (The only difference is that you would have "Music" selected instead of "Films".
If you don't want him to have access to other items in your library, you could just switch Home Sharing off on his library after you've done the transfers.

HT4914 If I subscribe to iTunes Match, can I download onto my new iPhone 6, just my music playlists and not my entire library?

If I subscribe to iTunes Match, can I download onto my new iPhone 6, just my music playlists and not my entire library? I have over 100 playlists and even more music not in playlists and I don't want to download all of it to my phone.
Thanks

First read this: FAQ: Why iTunes Match Can Not Be Used as a Backup
So, before you sell your Mac make sure all your personal data is backed up to an external HDD then put that HDD in a safe place. When you return you will be able to use it to restore your data to the new Mac.
Before you sell your computer you must restore the original version OS X that was installed on it when you bought it. See this Apple KB article for how to prepare your Mac for sale: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5189.

I only want to apply iMatch/iCloud to one of my iTunes playlists, not my entire library. Is that possible?

Hello efisch81,
As far as I know, this is not currently possible. It matches the entire library or none of it. For specific playlist syncing, you'll still need to sync traditionally through iTunes for now.

HT1751 I have moved my library from an external hard drive into my laptop music file but I am not able to open i-tunes when holding down the shift key as advised in step 4 and thus not seeing the library option box - any tips please??

I have moved my itunes library from old computer to portable hard drive and then on, into new laptop, in music file. However I am then unable to open I-Tunes when holding down the shift button as directed in step 4 - this means I am not seeing the library choice box and cannot synch the tunes into ITunes library - any tips please?........Alan

Close iTunes. Click the icon to launch iTunes and immediately press and hold down the left shift key. Keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library. If iTunes opens normally, close it, and try again.

2nd gen apple tv not seeing entire iphoto library

Here's something weird - anyone know why I can't see my entire iPhoto library on my 2nd gen. Apple TV?
I have my entire library shared in iPhoto
I have home sharing turned on in iTunes and am signed in using my Apple ID on the apple TV
I see my whole iTunes library and am able to stream movies etc to Apple TV
What's weird is only certain (two) events show up in the Photos section under "Computers" but when I select computers/photos it says "my iTunes." ALSO, when I go to iTunes/devices on my computer, I don't see my 2nd gen Apple TV listed - only my 1st gen Apple TV...
Any ideas out there, Apple Gurus???
Thanks!!!

HT4527 I tried home sharing between my desk top and my lap top. My desk top is the original computer with my iTunes library. On my lap top I can only see the music I have bought from iTunes. Is this all I should see? Not my entire library?

I have tried to install home sharing between my desk top and lap top. I can only see the music I have bought from iTunes on my lap top. Is this normal? I thought I would be able to see my entire library.

Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

ITunes not seeing the library on a shared drive

Greetings,
I recently upgraded to iTunes 11. I upgraded the application on 3 computers. All computers (2 running Snow Leopard and one running Lion) have been authorized for iTunes and access a networked library. The upgrade was successful and and all computers "see" the correct shared library.
My problem is with the unit running Lion. That computer has 2 users, myself and my wife. I generally do not use the computer, but I set up all the computers in the home, so I automatically create an account for myself. Early on I created and configured my wife's account to use iTunes.
Recently, (after upgrading) I decided to configure iTunes for my account on that computer. (My regular computer is older and I need to start using the iPhoto application on her computer, mine has run out of space.) When I tried to run the new iTunes, my account would not "see" the iTunes library.
Do I need to authorize (to use iTunes) this account, even though my wife's account on this machine was authorized awhile ago?
Why would my account library be different from her account library (I have confirmed that the library file path is the same.)
Ultimately I want to be able to use my wife's (newer) computer to sync our (3) iPads. Right now, under my account I am unable to do that.
Any suggestions?

what exactly have you put on the external ? the entire iTunes folder or just the iTunes music (or media) folder ?
On my iMac I can select the itunes folder on the drive in itunes advanced preferences and my music shows up in the itunes window an I can play it. But on my MacbookPro although I can select the folder, nothing shows up in the itunes window.
this leads me to believe that you consolidated the iMac's library to the external but kept the library files local. pointing iTunes media folder location to a new spot tells iTunes where to put new additions to your library, but not where the current content is.
what you need to do is to copy the entire iTunes folder to the external, then (on each Mac) launch iTunes while holding the option(⌥) key, click on choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder you copied to the external.
note only one Mac at a time can access the library !

How do i put one playlist on my ipod and not the entire library

I have recently purchased the newest ipod nano and downloaded the newest itunes and I cannot seem to find out how to select one playlist to go on my ipod. I don't want the entire library but only 1 of the playlists. How do i do this?
Thank you!

If you are using iTunes from version 7 onwards, then when you connect the iPod the summary screen should automatically open.
If you click on the 'music' tab, you will see the options to:
"sync music" with either "all songs and playlists" or "selected playlists".

Apple tv 2, can not see my library on a pc runing windows 7, my mbp same setting can.

I have all softwares uptodate on my mbp and my pc running windows 7.

I can see the library on my pc and play everything from my mbp and the other way around too.
My apple tv2 can see the mbp but not my windows 7. I check firewall and all and nothing.
Any ideas please.

Users using Outlook 2013 not seeing entire public calendar.

I have two users that have same access as all other users. They can get into the public calendar but they can not see the entire calendar. They don not see anything from about the last month.
Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2013
Thanks in advance.

That sounds to me like they have a partially synchronized copy. Look to see if they've tried to synchronize the folder, and if so, delete the cache and download the content again, or switch it to be used online. Shared calendars should
generally be used online anyway to avoid ugly race conditions where users wipe each other's changes out.

Apple TV does not see iTunes Library as on

I have been using ATV for a few months now, I sync photos to ATV and stream music from my computer using iTunes. When I go to sources, I see my library in a greyed out letters and all attempts to connect tell me to turn on the computer and launch iTunes, all the above are on.
This is a new problem after update of software.

I've updated both iTunes and the ATV software. I can now do the uTube thing fine.
I want to sync photos and stream music from same computer. This worked until I did the above updates.
From the ATV, I see my computer to sync photos, but when I want to stream my music from the same computer, the library appears in ATV as a source but it is GREY, as if the computer is not on. The computer is on and running iTunes. When I change my library name in iTunes, the ATV shows the new name, but still greyed out. This is new behavior in the new software. I was able to both Sync photos and stream music from the same computer in the past. Now do I have to turn off sync to stream music from the same source?

ITunes not seeing music library on external drive?

I recently moved my iTunes to an external hard drive. I read the instructions on the apple support site on how to do everything. It said, down at the bottom of the article, that the hard drive must be opened before you launch iTunes in order for iTunes to see the library. Although I did everything instructed my iTunes, when launched, is not seeing any of the files that are on my external hard drive. They are still on the hard drive and I am scared to do anything more without some help for fear I may lose the data on my hard drive. Help!!

If you copied the music to the external drive yourself, you did not do it correctly.
Do you see any music when you open iTunes?

IPOD/comp not seeing old library.

Hello, I have an issue with my ipod. Recently, two new computers were brought into the house when the one that originally had iTunes died. Hooking the Ipod up the the new computers, I expected to be able to access the old library, but for some reason, the newer versions of iTunes that came on these machines is not recognizing the old music as music files. It also will not sync to add any new music to the iPod. I have the 'Manually Manage music' option checked in iTunes, but have been afraid to uncheck it (something about music that was added w/out being purchased from iTunes.) because when I go to uncheck it, it says that my old library will be wiped out and replaced with the few new songs that are now on my iTunes. I do not want my library stored on the iPod of 831 songs to be replaced by the few new ones. Is there anything I can do to get the new iTunes to read the old songs? Are they a lost cause that I need to redownload and add to the iPod all over again? Please help!

Funny, I am having the same trouble. My iPod mini was updating fine yesterday and now iTunes doesn't even show that it's connected.
I tried disconnecting all other FireWire devices as well as plugging the iPod directly into the computer instead of going through the hub as I usually do. Both had no effect. What's going on??
** EDIT **
OK, I just restarted my iMac and now iTunes recognizes the iPod mini again with no problem. I would suggest all who are having this problem to simply restart the machine. Good luck!

Why can I only see my purchased songs and not my entire library when I use an ipad?

Why can I only access my 'purchased' songs when I sign into an ipad with my AppleID. How can I access my entire itunes library (purchased, playlists and downloaded music)?

If it's iTunes purchased music then you might be able to re-download it on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app - it will download into the Music app. If you want your other music from your computer's iTunes (e,g. music copied from CDs and playlists) then you will need to sync it from your computer's iTunes to your iPad's Music app.
