Problem seeing shared music

For the past few months I have not been able to see any shared music from other computers on my network in the iTunes source list. I have followed instructions in other postings yet none have seemed to work. I even opened up new sharing ports, disabled my firewall, returned all my firewall settings to their defaults, and upgraded to the newest version of iTunes...nothing seems to work. My virus program is Symantec and I have been able to share music while using this program in the past. Is there anyone who may know how to help me fix this? Other students on my same network are able to share music, so I know that it's my computer specifically that's messed up. Thanks for your help!

Hello altotoni!
You can locate your Mac's shared library in the music app on your iPad just going to the ...(More) tab at the bottom of the app. If your Mac is on, and iTunes is running on it, you can see the Mac's library. Just check it, and all your stuff will be accessible from your iPad. Enjoy!
Note: if you turn  off your Mac or just iTunes on it, the sharing stops working.
I hope this helps.

  • Can't See Shared Music (Not radio button problem!)

    I haven't been able to see Shared Music on my college network since I reinstalled Windows XP (around iTunes 4.8). I don't know what settings have changed.
    I now have the latest iTunes, the radio buttons are on. I heard about opening up a port, and bonjour service. I'm not sure how to execute those solutions.
    Thanks for your time,
    Connie

    Although that was a very helpful hint that I can in fact play Mac's iTune Music on iPad without syncing, it's not solving my primary issues, which are:
    1. I bought some music via iTunes on iPad and I can't get them to Mac, because that Shared label is not present in my Mac iTunes
    2. I want some of my Mac iTunes music to sync to iPad anyway, because I want to play it also when not being on home share network.
    3. When I synced iPad, many apps have been removed from it and are not there anymore, but appear in Mac's iTunes in that Apps section under iPhone, iPod touch and iPad Apps, but are not below in iPad Apps - I don't know how to get them back to iPad and how to prevent this to happen again
    These are maybe trivial questions, but I wasn't able to find answers and don't have so much time to search more.
    Thanks.

  • Upgrade problems with shared music and airport

    I recently upgraded my itunes to v 6.0.3 and now I can no longer see shared music on my network (although people can see my music). I also can't see the option to connect to remote speakers through the airport. I have tried the obvious stuff (e.g. reinstalling, restarting, checking and unchecking shared music and airport preferences) but have had no luck. Any suggestions? This is beginning to drive me nuts...

  • Can't see shared music, but can see servers!

    Hiyas
    I had to reinstall OSX last week. Everything went fine, but now, on iTunes, I can't see my music that is on another Mac anymore. Inside iTunes, I can see the other Mac and I can connect to it without an error. But once connected, iTunes doesn't let me browse any music.
    I know that music exists there since I can easily connect to the iTunes server running there with my Soundbridges or even with Windows, just not with the Mac. I don't have a Firewall set and the problem appears both with WiFi and with wired ethernet. I can see the server in iTunes, I can connect to it, but thats it. I don't see any music there.
    Does anyone know what's going on here?
    Best regards, Fuggs

    Both to varying degrees.
    The idea is that iTunes Match puts a list of all your content on your device, but not the content itself. As you choose to play from the list it is then downloaded as required.
    You can see which content is actually on your device by turning the ’Show all content' button I mentioned before to off.

  • Why can't I Share or see shared music???????

    recently downloaded latest itunes version (7.1.1.5). I have the settings set to share music and look for shared music. I am on a network with hundreds of people and I can't see any folders but other people can see each other. Why can't I see anything? I checked and my firewall is not on either...

    It could also be that no one else has their library opened up for sharing.
    If that was the case then the other people couldn't see each other.

  • Can't "see" shared music across network

    I have my main iTunes library on the big iMac downstairs, which is cabled into my Time Capsule for it's network connection. I have "share my library" turned on. One of the ports on the TC is connected (via a mains-circuit ethernet extender plug-pair) to my old Belkin router up in the loft. My kids have an old 12" Powerbook and a PC up there, cabled into the router (I've turned off the Wifi, and just use it as a router).
    The iTunes on the Powerbook refuses to see the shared library downstairs at all. Up until a week or so ago, the Mac in the loft was an FP iMac, and iTunes was seeing and playing songs from the shared library, through the same router set-up, with no problem. It's only since I have replaced it with the Powerbook that the sharing has apparently stopped.
    The iTunes on the Powerbook is completely up to date, on 10.4.11, and I HAVE got "look for shared libraries" turned on...
    Any ideas, anyone?
    bestest,
    M.

    After following some advice from a different posting, I loaded the gimp print drivers and recreated the printer in the printer listing using the gimp printer. This worked! The only problem I had was that I had to load the whole Mac OSX base system and then the print drivers. This messed up my system and I had to reset a bunch of user preferences, etc. It took me a couple of hours.

  • Since upgrade to iTunes 11, I am having problems seeing my music in iCloud.

    I am running at setup whereby I have no music stored locally, until I want to play it.. Since the upgrade, itunes is not detecting ANY of my music in Icloud (tried logging out of the store, restarting itunes, restarting Match etc..). Nothing works..
    I know that my music is in icloud because I can play it from my Apple TV box and my iphone. Itunes just cant see it , though. Please help !

    ? Anyone have any suggestions?

  • Sharing Music: Some Songs Don't Show Up on 2nd Computer but Playlist Does

    I am sharing songs using iTunes between my Powerbook and my G3 B&W. On the Powerbook, I see all of the Playlists that are on the G3 but if I open SOME (not all) Playlists, there are no songs inside. The songs ARE on the hard drive, however, in the iTunes folders. Any suggestions?
    Info: The "missing" songs are all legitimate imports from purchased CDs.
    More info: The G3 music is on an external hard drive.
    More info: The G3 music was originally on the Powerbook, I copied it to the external drive and then I exported/imported the Library and Playlists onto the G3 to use the second machine as the music server. Did I mess up the import of the Playlists?
    Even more info: the G3 is one version of iTunes older than the Powerbook (which is up to date).
    Thanks.

    I'm having the exact same problem. My library on my G4 tower has 17 371 songs, but it only shows up on the PowerBook as 16 991. (Both machines are running iTunes 6.0.2 on Mac OS X 10.4.4.) I first noticed this problem months ago, and it's persisted through several new versions of iTunes, as well as several complete nuke-and-rebuilds of the iTunes library on my tower.

  • Trouble sharing Music and Photos on new Mac Book Pro

    I am loving my new Mac Book Pro. Front Row seems quite promising, but I'm having problems with shared music and photos.
    I have an airport network in my home and have most of my music and photos stored on my desktop (Dual G4). When I open iTunes on my new MBP the shared music works just fine. Similarly, iPhotos shows the shared photos from my desktop on my MBP.
    But, when I try using Front Row, I get an error message saying that there is no shared content. I found a work around that seems to work most (but not all) of the time. If I open iTunes first, start playing a song (shared from the desktop) and then switch over to Front Row it shows that song as now playing and then the rest of the shared music is available.
    I have used Software Update to download the latest version of all software on both computers and for my airport network.
    Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    David

    Heya David,
    If you haven't already please update to 10.4.8. If issue persists then try the following:
    Remove the following files to the trash (do not empty until you test for function):
    ~/library/caches
    ~/library/preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist
    ~/library/prefernces/com.apple.iphoto.plist
    ~/library/preferences/com.apple.frontrow.plist
    - Repair your permissions - > http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh17.html
    - Restart your computer again
    - Test and see how its working
    Hope that helps!

  • Can't see Shared Libraries with iTunes 7

    I can no longer see shared music/libraries since I updated to iTunes 7. My roommate can but she can only see her own music. She has a Windows XP computer, I have a Mac Powerbook running OS X 10.4.7. Also, when I quit sometimes, it says people are connected to me. But I can't see that. Anyone know how to fix this?

    hmm - this really sounds like your network is screwy - but that should affect iTunes 6 as well as iTunes 7. Let's do this quick test.
    Download this software:
    http://www.tildesoft.com/Files/BonjourBrowser.dmg
    And double click on the application it puts on your desktop (Bonjour Browser).
    It will put up a list of all the network services it can see. Look for the one called: "iTunes Music Sharing" & click on the little grey triangle beside it.
    It should then expand into a list of all the iTunes Music shares it can see.
    What is in the list? Anything? Do you see your roommate's computer? I assume you are in a dorm. Do you see other iTunes shares?

  • Problem Shared Music

    Hi,
    The Shared Music option in iTunes is not working when using Norton Antivirus from Google Updater. I mailt Norton but they can't help me. I don't know which option to select/deselect in Norton Antivirus. Tried them all but not a result. I can see other Libraries but other Libraries can't see mee. This is not really an iTunes problem but it's worth trying
    Can anybody help me?
    Regards,
    Pim

    yeah i have the same problem. I am hoping by me replying to this that hopefully someone who knows how to figure this out will acrtually write something. I think the more replies the higher it goes up in the search, it is really ******* me off. I have a mac mini that i use purely to play wirelessly from my iMac but now it has just started doing what you described. Someone reply with an answer....

  • I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

    I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

    What fixed it for me:
    On your computer, open iTunes > My iPhone (or whatever name you gave your iPhone) > "Music" page
    Uncheck "Sync Music"
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
    Let it run and finish
    Uncheck the box for every song, playlist, etc.
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right) (This step may be unnecessary, but I did it and got the result I wanted.)
    Let it run and finish
    Check the boxes for the music you want on your iPhone
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
    Let it run and finish
    See if that doesn't work for you.  I tried a lot of things that did nothing, but this seems to have fixed it, and quickly.

  • 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.
