Only 5 users a day - sharing issues

I'm using iTunes 6.0.5 (20) on my Powerbook. Others on my network can see my shared music, but they get a message indicating that only 5 users per day can share my music. This happens even when I just get on the network and have someone check right away.
My firewall sharing ports are set properly. Sharing is set properly in iTunes preferences. I can see and share/listen to others' music on my network (although some of them give me the same error message).
I would like to share my 8676 songs with others, and I've been able to in the past. Any ideas?

This problem clears up when you trash your iTunes preferences.
User->Library->Preferences->com.apple.iTunes.plist
Then restart iTunes. You'll have to go through the start-up panes, but sharing works after everything is set.
I figured this out back in September, but forgot to post the solution. The same problem just reared its head, perhaps with iTunes 7 upgrade.

How come only 5 users a day can access shared music?

I just moved into the dorms, and all the other people's shared music keeps saying that it will only allow 5 users a day to access others' shared music. How can we change that so we can all share each others' music?

Sorry, but you can't change it. That limit was incorporated into iTunes by demand of the record companies and is not user-settable.

Only five different users each day. Please try again later!!!

I use a miniMac server as a iTunes library and connect via home sharing today for the first time I got this message "The shared library “Library” accepts only five different users each day. Please try again later."
But I haven't access the library with 5 different users!!!! Anyone any ideas?

I think you are connected via Sharing Not Home Sharing. How did you enable your sharing?
Here is an article explaining the differences

My last Time Machine back-up is 45 days old and only of User Account files (not entire HD) and I must now reinstall Lion (via internet) without performing a new back-up. Will any new User Account files, since my last back-up, be lost when Lion reinstalls ?

Reinstalling OS X doesn't affect user data, provided nothing goes wrong. But it would be very unwise to assume that nothing will go wrong, especially if you're having (unspecified) system issues. You should try to back up all data before you reinstall or do anything else. There are ways to do that, even if you're unable to boot.
If your backups include only user files, you won't be able to access them in Setup Assistant.

Firefox will not open for other users on a shared computer with individual accounts one day after installing Firefox

On a computer that is shared with multiple users(3),two of the users cannot open Firefox,only one user can. It shows the blue circle (Windows 7) but it disappears and does not open. Task Manager shows its running,but after closing,it won't open. Are there settings to adjust in Windows,or on Internet Options?
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate with SP1 installed.

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

thanks Meg
I understand you are not Apple but i was presuming that some logic or technical reason i miss was behind this.
I really do not see any logic business pratice. If i understand i can be agree or desagree but as minima i know the rules and why.
to sumarize...my story
my id was with XXX and i bought Itune match one year with this account and 4 device are conected with the same account.
on Ipad device i change my ID to YYY then .... because i need to update some apps and connect to itune match i came back to ID XXX then no problem to update apps but .... no way to come back to itune match.
.... no way to use itune match anyhow with Ipad and account XXX linked with account XXX. WHYYYY ??? no clue.

ATTN: APPLE ; iTunes will not open. Many customers/users with the same issu

First of all, I know I am not the first person to post about this nor will I be the last. However SOMETHING needs to be done about this ridiculous problem.
I was using iTunes 8.X prior and I upgraded to 9.0.1 a couple of days ago. Ever since then I have had nothing but headaches when attempting to get iTunes to work so I can work with my iPhone.
I followed previous instructions by other users on this forum. Here is the list of steps I took.
1. Uninstalling iTunes + Quicktime completely. Reinstalling shortly therafter.
2. Ensuring no codecs were interfering (mpcstar, et cetera).
3. Cleaning the registry.
4. Cleaning the SC Info.sidb and SC Info.sidd files from \ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info
5. Turning off different services or restarting them. This includes Bonjour, Apple Mobile Devices, iPod Service. There IS an interesting note about this later on.
6. Running 9.0.1 on a fresh install of Vista Home Premium on a notebook.
+** No errors were ever given for this issue on either system inside of event viewer or when attempting to execute iTunes. The iTunes.exe will show as active in Processes at 13-15mb and does nothing. At times a smaller, and SECOND process of iTunes.exe will appear at 2-3mb then disappear after a few seconds.+
All of this and it goes nowhere good.
Generally, after rebooting my computers iTunes will start once if at all. However this is not guaranteed. The fact that I have to restart constantly in order to have a small attempt at getting iTunes to execute correctly is absurd.
I noted in 5. that messing around with the services produced one interesting event. When I stop the Apple Mobile Devices service iTunes will load. Although when doing this it will of course NOT detect my iPhone. Even if I load iTunes and start or restart Apple Mobile Devices it of course will not see it.
As aforementioned I am not the only customer and user to have this issue. There is clearly a problem with 9.0.1 and many others will agree. It might not be happening to everyone (lucky for you lot) however it is nonetheless unfair that we who are experiencing difficulties are not seeing a resolution.
If anyone has ideas about what else could potentially be done to remedy this I would greatly appreciate your help. As I am sure others will also.
Thank you for your time and help.

Password self-service errors - Password can be changed only once in a day

Hi experts,
We've been using password resets without issues for several months. Recently we upgraded from version 5.3 SP12 to SP14.
I've read the CUP release note that explains that how password resets now validates against the ABAP system parameter for login/password_change_waittime.
The errors we are experiencing happen even when the users' password is reset for the first time in a day.
Error message:
X Unable to reset password in the following system(s): ECDCLNT100. Password can be changed only once in a day
Please advise if you have experienced this error, if there is a resolution, and/or if there is a way to disable the parameter check.
FYI - We are only using password resets in our non-production systems and are not concerned with multiple daily password resets.
Thanks.

How to : only one user in a branch can do the batch process at a time ?

dear gurus,
In ADF web application, accessed by multiple branch (20), there is a
batch process to create invoices from orders. There are 3-5 users in a
branch. one user can process about 30 - 50 orders to become
invoices.
Business rule is : In one batch process, each users must produce
invoices with gapless invoice number. e.g : user_1 create 30 invoices
no.001 - 030, user_2 create 40 invoices no.031-070 ... and so on...
So we want to protect that at a time, in one branch, only one user can
do the batch process. User_2 must wait until user_1 is done to start
the process.
We use the table below to maintain the latest invoice number created :
CREATE TABLE doc_number
DOC_TYPE VARCHAR2(6 BYTE) NOT NULL,
BRANCH_CODE VARCHAR2(6 BYTE) NOT NULL,
DOC_NBR NUMBER(12) DEFAULT 0,
CONSTRAINT "DOC_NUMBER_PK" PRIMARY KEY (DOC_TYPE, BRANCH_CODE)
The question is :
I think of locking a spicific row of the doc_number table (select ...
for update wait 10) at the beginning of the batch process stored
procedure.
But what if the session/connection left orphan and the row is lockde
forever before the dba kill it ?
So is there a better approach to limit the user execution of the
process ?
Thank you very much for your help,
Krist

Forget it. See http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:4343369880986.
However, if you are dead set on doing this old fashioned thing of trying to emulate paper invoices from a numbered tablet, you could always just let everyone generate all of their invoices with no invoice number whenever they want, then at some time ( say 21:00 every day), take a lock on the table and apply invoice numbers to all of the records with a null invoice number -- which will take only a few centiseconds at most. And let the users/system print only invoices that have numbers assigned. This way, you pretty much eliminate the concurrency issue of various branches generating invoices only in their time window -- yuk, what an awful way to have to do business.
And completely forget about users or branches having their own range of numbers. That is completely nuts. Your database already knows which branch owns which invoice, right??

Potential Solution: Home Sharing issues with iTunes 10.6

TL;DR: On a hunch, I changed the power settings of the ATV to never sleep. Since then, I have not had any issues. Granted, it's only been a couple of days, but it seems to have done the trick.
Folks,
Wanted to share my experience with Home Sharing issues after upgrading to iTunes 10.6. These forums a rampant with reports of the issue, so I'll defer to the search field above if you don't know what I am talking about. In short: iTunes 10.6 seems to have busted Home Sharing.
For those who do, here's what I found:
For some reason, is saw a very large number of established sessions from my Apple TV (ATV) into port 3689 on my Mac. This is the port that ATV uses to query iTunes to see what's available via Home Sharing (e.g.: what movies, songs, pictures, etc are available for display on the ATV).
A sniffer cap and some observation of the power indicator on the ATV indicated that while it was sleeping, the ATV was querying iTunes. It would power on for a sec (wake on LAN, maybe?), issue some queries, then sleep.
When this happened, the TCP sessions created were never town down. As such, I would eventually see 200+ established sessions on port 3689. I don't know exactly how many it took to make this happen, but when I saw this, iTunes stopped accepting new connections.
Of course, bouncing iTunes would remedy the issue for a while, but it would return.
On a hunch, I changed the power settings of the ATV to never sleep. Since then, I have not had any issues. Granted, it's only been a couple of days, but it seems to have done the trick.
I would be interested to hear if it works for others.
Happy viewing,
Chris

Thanks for posting this.
I've been searching for an option of how to approach this problem.
I picked up the new AppleTV when it was released, but it has made iTunes fairly useless from a Home Sharing standpoint.
I also observed the massive number of TCP connections being opened against iTunes, but never closed.
As expected, I could manually kill a few of these connections, and then could connect again, even without closing iTunes.
I performed most of my testing with Windows 7, but while troubleshooting I had the same issue with iTunes on an old Mac Mini I had sitting around.
I will try your solution, which makes a lot of sense, but it would be nice if Apple fixed the real problem.
Thanks again.

Killing users Dedicated server / Shared Server

Hi,
I have a Web Applications that connects to our Oracle database and I can see a lot of users
stuck in the server and I have to manually kill these users.
To do this I´ve set a idle time to the conections , and using this script I´m able to kill these users :
sqlplus system/xxxxxx@instance <<EOF
spool $tmpfile
select p.spid from v\$process p,v\$session s
where s.paddr=p.addr
and s.status='SNIPED';
spool off
EOF
for x in `cat $tmpfile | grep "^[0123456789]"`
do
kill -9 $x
done
rm $tmpfile
I´ve also configured dead conections detection.
But unfortunatelly This machine has limited resources and the number of users will grow a lot in near future. So my only option is to change the database to shared server. In Shared server I cannot use my script anymore, because it kills all the connected users of that shared server , and dead connections detections is not working very well too ...
Anybody have a similar problem ? What could be done to clear the users that have already disconected from application and still use shared server mode ?
Whn users Log off the application it works ok, but sometimes the user closes the browser or we have blue screen in windows, etc and the conection remains forever
Thank you in advance,

Really think this should be application issues rather than database issues. Application or application server should have a way to handle idle sessions. It's not a clean way to kill session in the background like that.
In my environment, after developers changed application we don't have this problem any more.

Outlook sharing issues

I have 2 users with Outlook 2013. One is trying to send a shared task to the other. Other people in the department are able to view it with no issue. When the user receives the invite it says: "This sharing message is not valid. All action buttons have
been disabled." Then below: (Sender not verified) Microsoft exchange tasks. I've been googling the error for a way to resolve this and I can't seem to find a compatible answer. This also happened with 2 other users involving sharing a calendar, they were
finally able to share but only through another user's computer. I'm sure there must be a setting somewhere that needs to be changed, but I don't know where.

Hi,
According to your description, I understand that there is a Task sharing issue between two specific users. But the task can be shared in another user’s computer.
If so, the issue should be related to the Outlook profile in the problematic user’s computer. Please create a new Outlook profile to check whether the issue persists:

If it doesn’t work, restart Outlook in safe mode (Start > Run >type “Outlook /safe”> Enter) to have a try.

Multiple Users One Computer sharing photo's

Hi,
I have two user's on my computer, both with different log on's etc. How can another user look at my photo's that are currently in iPhoto with out having to move folders around.
Can this also be done with iTunes so that we can share music without having to make duplicates?
Thanks.

Hi Fancy,
The first group of links will tell you how another user can view your iPhoto Library.
SHARING IPHOTO LIBRARIES
Sharing libraries between users on the same local network
You can also share a library on the same machine between users the same way.
Sharing libraries between users on the same machine...
-both users must have sharing enabled in their iPhoto Preferences
-both users must be logged in and have iPhoto running
-Remember that you can only view the other library. You can't edit the photos or play the saved slideshows or view the made books or burn them to CD or DVD. The books and slideshows will show up as an album. You can play that album as an "on the fly" slideshow. You can drag images from the sharing library to your library in the source column to import them to your library. You can then edit, add to albums, books, slideshow, etc.

Looking for shared photos
SHARING ONE IPHOTO LIBRARY BETWEEN USERS ON SAME MACHINE
You can try one of these three methods:
1- Use iPhoto Library Manager-the paid version
The documentation page will give instructions on how it is done.
2- Sharing one iPhoto library between several users on one machine
3- Share an iPhoto Library in tiger Using ACL's
4- I have also read about ShareAlike
There is no other info on the site about how it works.
I strongly urge anyone wanting to try any of the methods for sharing one iPhoto Library folder among more than one user to backup all iPhoto Library folders before attemptin anything.

How do i move only my library from a shared itunes account to my new account

How do i transfer only my library from a shared itunes account to my new account

I am confused by terminology, not knowing what you mean by "iTunes account". You have a computer account which is your user area on a computer. You have an Apple ID that you use to buy items from the iTunes Store. You have a media collection which is an iTunes library. So what is your "iTunes account" and what exactly do you want to do?
