Playlists not showing up in shared library

I just set up the iMac on which my entire music library resides in an upstairs room and want to share via my home network with the iMac downstairs which is hooked up to my hi-fi. Unfortunately most of the library doesn't show up. The majority of the library is single album playlists ripped in Apple Lossless. What is showing up is the remainder - various folders and their contents which were ripped in AAC.
Other contents are fine - podcasts and iTunes U materials - but most of my music is missing.
I could of course stream from the upstairs machine via an Airport Express to the hi-fi. But then I would have to go upstairs every time I want to change the playlist.....
Wonder if anyone else has encountered this problem. Could it be related to the fact that the source iMac is running 10.5.8 and the relay iMac is running 10.6.2?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Apologies - the problem was that there are two user accounts on the source iMac and I had set iTunes on the wrong user account to Sharing on the network. All fine now.

Front row (with itunes 10) does not show moves from shared library

I have two computers. My office computer contains all of my iTunes content, running iTunes 10. I have a mac mini connected to my television, and my intent is to use Front Row to access the shared library from the office computer. The problem is, when using front Row only a small number of my TV shows and none of my movies appear. I have checked the sharing settings on the source computer.

Exact same problem here.
It has been working fine doing this for years, then around a month ago after no changes to either machine that I know of, about half the content vanished when viewing a shared library.
I seem to have also worsened the issue by trashing and rebuilding the iTunes library from scratch. Since at least before doing this I had some of my Movies and TV shows show, but not all, now I seem to have a tiny amount of movies and none of the TV shows listed.
Checking on the source computer in front row shows all of them present as expected. Completely baffled by this. None of them are showing under odd sections (Say in Music rather than TV Shows) either so I know the meta-data isn't at fault.

HT201272 I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else.

I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else. My phone is not syncing properly, I wanted to add another playlist to it that I created on my Mac. I pluged in my phone and made sure the playlist I wanted to add was checked to be on my phone when I synced.
The playlist I wanted to add was "Country." It is clearly checked. I also wanted to add the "Recently Added" playlist, which I also checked before sycing. Currently, my phone only has the "Purchased" playlist and my "All Songs" playlist on it. When I hit sync, iTunes added another playlist automatically added another playlist to the list above and checked it. It was titled "ALL SONGS 1" and had ten fewer songs in it than the playlist I had created, "ALL SONGS" had. This playlist, however does not show up on my phone after syncing, nor does "Country" or "Recently Added." (Every time I sync, another playlist is created as "ALL SONGS 2, 3, 4, etc.") One of the songs (I have not, yet checked the other songs) that I purchased from within iTunes Radio shows up in the "ALL SONGS 1" on this screen:
But does not show up anywhere else. This playlist does not show up anywhere but the two screens above. The ALL SONGS 1 or 2 playlists do not show up here:
When I search for those song in my library, it shows that I do not have them:
But if I go to the iTunes store, I get the play button and not the price of the song:
This is what things look like from my phone's side of things:
"Summertime Sadness," one of the songs I bought from iTunes Radio, does not show up in the iTunes store under purchased "All" or "Not on This iPhone"
But, it does show up under "Recent Purchases"
Also, this is what playlists are on my phone after syncing a million times:
Only what was on there before I started any of this. "Summertime Sadness" and the other songs I bought from inside iTunes Radio, do not show up in either of these playlists. Please, help me.

I have songs on my iPhone but they do not show to my iTunes library. How do I get them to show?

I have an iPhone 4 and have songs on it that do not show on my iTunes library. Everything is up to date, but I cannot get these songs to show to make my playlists. Some of these songs were from CDs I had. How do I get these songs to transfer from the iPhone to the iTunes library?

I just bought music that is not showing up in my library.

I bought music in the iTunes store but it's not showing up in my library. It is showing up on my devices though. What the...?

Do you see it in your Recently Added playlist and do you use iTunes Match?
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4543259 - delay of several hours (for some people overnight) for new additions to iTunes to appear in the main library window as a result of using iTunes Match. Things to try:
1) Turn off Match, see if the items appear, then turn Match on again.
2) Drag the items from the Recently Added playlist to the library.
3) Wait until they do appear.

I rented Argo in iTunes on my iPad, it downloaded, yet it does not show up in my library.

I rented Argo in iTunes on my iPad, it downloaded, yet it does not show up in my library. I have the most updated version of iTunes on my laptop and Apple TV. I logged onto my computer (Windows) and tried renting it again, iTunes store told me 'you have already rented this movie'. Is there an issue with rentals today? Help!

Roaminggnome - Thanks for your reply, you made my day! This is my first time renting a video, so I didn't realize you had to go into a different app to watch it. Enjoy the rest of your weekend

My wife purchased some songs from itunes for her iphone. If I go to sync her ipphone with our itunes library will her purchases be wiped out. They do not show up in our library on my computer.

My wife purchased some songs for her new iphone from itunes on the phone. They do not show up in our library on my home computer. When I go to add new songs to her iphone from my computer are her purchases going to be wiped out.

Is the computer authorized for her iTunes account? If not, sign her in in iTunes and then go up to: Store>Authorize this computer. You say "our library", does that mean she does not have her own computer login? Has she ever synced to this computer/iTunes before? Once she is logged in & the computer authorized for her account, you can transfer purchases on her phone without syncing. With her phone connected, iTunes running: File>Transfer Purchases.

When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone' The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library. How can I get it into my library?

When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone'. This is at the end of all the other tabs like info, ringtones, music etc. The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library. How can I get it into my library? It doesn't sync either.

The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.

I had iTunes on my old computer and I am trying to get all of the same music on my new computer. I have download iTunes and signed in, but it is not showing up in my library. How do I get all of my old music back?

It does not magically appear in a new place. It will only be where you put it.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

Network devices not showing up under "shared" in finder bar

Ok so i have a network that consists of a maxtor nas device, 2 win xp pc's, 1 win7 pc, d-link 524 router, and my macbook pro. I would like to be able to transfer files between my mac and the devices and use the printer attached to my maxtor. My issue is that none of the computers show up under the "shared" section of finder or under network. I use to have this issue with leopard but it resolved itself. Now under snow leopard for a couple months and i have yet to get it work. I can access my mac and other pcs from a pc. Anyone know how to get my network to show up on my mac?

Your problem is very common under Snow. At first my shares did not show up under shared in finder windows. I, then, of course, used "Connect to Server" to connect to the shares--both Mac and PC. I found that the more I kept the shares active the more likely they were show up under shared. Then, I discovered that if I kept the computers from sleeping during the period of needed access they would tend to stay in shared without nearly so much keeping the connections active.
If you do not like the above work around, then there are two other possibilities. You can elect to show mounted items on your desktop. Do that and connect to each share. Then, go > users > unlock > + login options > try dragging the mounted shares to the login item window. If successful, then the shares should be available at login.
Another approach is to mount and connect as indicated above. Then, making an alias to the share should at least make things faster.

I bought a CD and it charged me for it and said it downloaded it but it's not showing up in my library...I tried to check for available downloads and it says it is all downloaded but the songs are not in my library

You must not post here because you have a portable. The problem is related to iTunes so you should post into the iTunes for Mac section and you may also have better luck in answers as iTunes specialist are there.

Importing songs from CDs - not showing up in my Library

I am aving trouble importing songs from CDs. I completed the process as instructed - using the "import this CD" button (I have done this many times successfully).
The import process ran OK. When the Import process completed, I looked in my music Library and the songs were not there.
I repeated the process - same result. Nothing in my music library.
What should I do?

Re: [iPod classic] - Re: Importing songs from CDs - not showing up in my Library
Thu, Feb 09, 2012 08:01 PM
When I load the CD, iTunes recognizes it and asks me if I want to Import the CD.
When I click on "Import CD", the song titles are retreived and show up. The iTunes bar at the top of the screen shows "Importing track 1" or "Importing the song by title". Each song is imported, and I can see each song being impotrted via the iTunes bar at the top of the screen. iTunes shows that the CD has been imported, and the system dings when the import is done.
This is exactly the same as every other time I've imported CDs. The only difference is that the songs do not show up in the library.
Thanks

Error Message: Your content will not stream. Runtime Shared Library preloader will require...

Please help. I am receiving an error message and I don't know what I need to do to fix my file. I'm working in Flash CS5.5. I've created an animated web banner. When I go to test movie, I receive the following error message:
Your content will not stream. Runtime Shared Library (RLS) preloader will require all of your content to download before the first frame will play.
To prevent this you can change the Runtime Shared Library Library Settings in the Advanced ActionScript 3.0 Settings dialog which can be raised from the Publish Settings dialog.
The Runtime Shared Libraries being preloaded are:
textLayout_2.0.0.232.swz for TLF Text
I don't know what any of this means or what I need to do to ensure that my web banner will load correctly once it's uploaded to a website. Please help. I'm fairly new to Flash. Thank you in advance for any advice you can provide.

Mr Benrud,
This window means you've used TLF Text Format and before all of your content download, it requires to be proloaded. To get rid of this message, just remove TLF Text Format (if you really don't require it) or else goto Publish Settings -> Flash -> Actionscript Settings and just remove it.
