Problems connecting iTunes to WD My Book World.

Windows 7.
Western Digital My Book World Edition 1TB networked storage drive.
Current firmware and software (iTunes 11). On a fresh install with old libraries deleted.
New dual-band router (DLink DIR-815) set up with identical permissions and structure as previous.
** When I load iTunes, according to what I've found so far, all I should need to do is to click on the "shared libraries" and select the drive, and voila, music to stream. It either "loads" for a second, then back to current tab (no music) or "loads" indefinitely to no avail.**
WD has software on the drive to stream to iTunes, this feature has been enabled and set to scan for new media every 30min.
Firewall permissions are all set to allow.
All devices are within the same workgroup. (WORKGROUP)
I can access any and all media via My Computer, as well as through Twonky Media Server (also built into the drive).
Bonjour and iTunes services are running and have been restarted, along with the computer itself.
I was able to access all my media via a local library PRIOR TO this version of iTunes.
Also found some discussion on the WD forums concerning this issue but as in this support community, mostly having to do with incompatibility with this drive and Macs.
What I would LIKE to be able to do is to store all my media on the NAS, along with an iTunes library that can be dynamically updated from multiple PCs on the network. I use one of my PCs for managing music, and the other for listening/viewing/syncing w. ipod, etc. so individual libraries on separate PCs does not make sense. Also, with the WD stream running, I should be able to access my library and stream it to other devices on my network, such as an iPad or iPhone.
TYIA for any help & suggestions for what to try next, otherwise I go back to the supremely annoying and inefficient individual libraries.

I hhave this exact same problem. itunes changed a protocol which nolonger works after itunes 10,2.
either downgrade your itunes or, i got WD to reimburse me for the purchase of my mybook because it doesnt work as an itunes server

Problems connecting iTunes PC to recognize Apple TV

I got a new Apple TV 2nd generation but I am having problems to get it recognized through the iTunes installed in my PC. It works fine from my other apple devices: Ipad, Iphone and Mac Air.
The itunes version installed in my PC is 10.5.2.11. I enabled the home sharing in my PC using my Apple id.
I can see the home sharing library from my Ipad, from my Iphone and from my Mac Air using the Remote application.
I can reproduce music and videos from my Ipad, my Iphone and my Mac Air to my Apple TV, in all of them I can choose the Apple TV as a device to reproduce when reproding music or videos locally stored in either device..   I can not select Apple TV when I access the Home library of my PC from any of my Mac devices (Ipad, Iphone or Mac)
Also, when using iTunes from my PC, the only that is not recognizing and not showing the Apple TV is the PC with itunes, where I have the libraries with music and videos that is the one that I use to sync my Ipad, Iphone and Mac.   I can not see the libary of my PC from Apple TV either.   When I select "share libary" in my PC, it shows briefly the shared libary but dissapears again.   I have tried disabling the Firewall from my PC (McAfee), but the problem persists. I have ried to unstill and reinstall iTunes on the PC, but the problem continues. PC is connected to my local network using Wifi by WPA encryption.
What can I do to solve the problem?    How should I connect or set up my PC and iTunes on it to properly be able to share the library, get it seen from the Apple TV , get Apple TV recognized by Itunes and ultimately, to be able to reproduce Videos and Music selecting Apple TV as Output device in itunes from my PC?

Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

I have bought a WD My Book World Edition to use for back-up of my iMac, but when I try and log onto the drive with Apple time Machine (back-up software) or connect in any other way I get the message 'There was a problem connecting to the server "MybookWorld.local" The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem'
It is a brand new iMac and running Lion OSX
Any ideas on how to solve would be gratefully received?

Followed the directions on this page and it worked!
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1102423
Part One - Turn on SSH (in the admin panel)
[1] Go to to http://mybookworld.local
[2] login: username will be admin, password will be whatever you have setup. If you can't remember it should be in your Mac OS X keychain (Utilities > Keychain Access, search for "mybookworld"). If you have not changed if from the default the password will be admin as well.
[3] Switch to advanced mode.
[4] From the System tab, pick Advanced.
[5] Enable SSH Access, and click submit.
[6] Click on the network tab and then the LAN button
[7] Make a note of the IP address
Small, maybe obvious, but nevertheless important point: For the install to work, your NAS needs to be connected to a router with internet access.
Part Two - Install netatalk2.2
[8] Open Terminal.app (Utilities > Terminal)
[9] Enter the following command (substitute in 127.0.0.1 for the actual IP address you noted down in step 7), then hit return:
Code:
ssh [email protected]
[10] When prompted, enter the ssh password (will be welc0me).
[11] You are now going to download the installer. Enter the following command, then hit return:
Code:
wget http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/local--files/netatalk2-2-on-whitelight/install_netatalk.sh -O install_netatalk.sh
[12] Once completed, you will need to run the installer. Type:
Code:
sh install_netatalk.sh
[13] You will be asked a number of question during install, answer yes to all. When asked about the "DHX2 login process", I opted to install the modified version, so I can confirm it works.
[14] Once the box has restarted, you should be able to connect to your afp shares and continue to use Time Machine.

If you have followed the standard Apple troubleshooting processes (see user guide )
probably a trip to the local Apple Store Genius bar is called for before warranty runs out
Assuming the iPad has been released in your Country if not you may have to take it to a
neighbouring Country where it is available
This page will tell you ,via the drop down menu Countries that can support iPad

"There was a problem connecting to the server" in iTunes after migrating to new mac

I have a problem that is driving me crazy with my brand new iMac. I see many other people posting similar issues, but none of the other solutions seem to work for me.
I had a MacPro and bought a new iMac, on which I used Migration Assistant to set up. So the new iMac is virtually the same as my old machine in terms of appearance and installed applications. Both machines have Mountain Lion 10.8.2. All software on both machines has been through Software Update and is fully up to date, as are the connected devices (iPhone and iPad).
The problem is with iTunes. Every time I start iTunes (I think at the moment it checks my two connected devices) I get a pop up dialogue saying:
There was a problem connecting to the server "MacPro".
The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
This dialogue continues to pop up constantly as long as iTunes is open, interrupting my work and frustrating me no end. The old machine is of course turned off and indeed is not available -- but I can't find what on the new iMac is so desperate to connect to it.
So far I have tried completing erasing my iTunes library, deleting all the preferences, reinstalling iTunes from a fresh download of the dmg, safe rebooting several times with no peripherals connected at all, and deleteing other preferences like the Login Items, iPhone config and iPhoto. I have also cleared Recent Items from the apple menu and opened "Connect to Server" in the finder and cleared all servers from the dropdown menu.
Last night I also completely restored my iPhone from scratch to see if that would clear away the issue and I have connected both iPhone and iPad to go through any apps that have permission to write content to my computer and deleted all of them completely from the devices.
Nothing has changed at all after all that, and I have run out of ideas. Clearly there is something somewhere that has my old machine's name hard coded in it but I can't see any way to search for it. I would grep my Library folder but I think a lot of the files are binary so I'm not sure that would unearth anything. I've seen many posts saying that Apple phone support (which I would qualify for) can't help with this issue and so I have put off phoning them to simply run through all the things I've already tried.
Any advice that anyone could offer would be extremely helpful. I can't use iTunes at all like this as it disrupts everything I try to do on the new machine.
many thanks!!

Nothing at all? Can't anyone help with this issue at all? I would be grateful for any suggstions as it is driving me crazy. It happens every time I open iTunes and also every time I open Mail.

Your advice did not help me. I also installed 10.7.4 combo but the situation is the same.
my internet connection is ok, mail is ok, but app store after 3 resets does not recognize my ID and it says "connection is not possible". Why? I have the same problem in both my mac mini late 2009 and mac book air 2010? Is it a problem of 10.7.4 update? I have to solve this problem and how can i return to 10.7.3 if my last backup was not with 10.7.3???thank you for your kind collaboration...

Hi, I have a Power Book G4 Tiger 10.4.11 and my problem concerns iTunes 9.2.1(5). I have changed my Apple ID and password recently. Since that, I am told when I try to buy something in iTunes Store that my "session has expired". Where does this come from?

I have a problem with iphoto (have a mac book pro): the icon in the dock appears with a question mark, and the application is gone!!! Can someone tell what's going on? Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes: I downloaded the last version (it's free), but I cannot do the same with iphoto, and more important: I need to know what is happening!!! Please help me!

Applications should not disappear all by themselves.
If they are then that coud indicate serious problems with your hard drive.
Backup everything up as quickly as possible.
Using Disk Utility verify your system disk.

Hello, i am having problems with itunes store. it wont connect almost as if its hanging, any ideas how to fix this problem

hello, i am having problems with itunes store. it wont connect almost as if its hanging, any ideas how to fix this problem

BOB we need you urgently
Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
I want to test 2 other things:
1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect.

Hello Makiaveli,
It sounds like you are getting this error code when you are trying to access the iTunes Store.
I found this article with this error listed in the symptoms section, for you that should help troubleshoot the issue named:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123
Resolution
The cause for these issues is a program that monitors the Winsock protocol for Windows conflicting with Apple software. These programs usually use a Layered Service Provider (LSP) that can help identify the particular program installed. The programs that monitor this protocol have a variety of purposes, including security software, content filtering, and optimization of network traffic.
To find the LSP:
Download Autoruns for Windows from Microsoft
Look for Autoruns.ZIP and open the compressed folder.
After reviewing the contents and the license, drag autoruns.exe to the desktop.
Open Autoruns.
Click on the tab that says Winsock Providers.
A list of items should appear. A column showing the publisher should be available.
For items other than Bonjour, which is from Apple, check with the publisher for updates to resolve the conflict between their software and Apple software.
If the publisher is unfamiliar to you, you may be able to use the table below to find out more information about the origin of the modifications to Windows.
Some of the publishers and programs that are known to have versions with a conflict are listed below:

Once you've identified the third-party software that installed the LSP, you should check for updates. If the software is your security software, see iTunes: Troubleshooting security software issues for additional information.
Bytemobile is usually associated with cellular data connection software. You may want to check if your provider has instructions to disable or uninstall that portion of the software, such as these instructions from AT&T.
Note: If unsure on the origin of your LSP, you may try to locate vendor information to determine which software is responsible for the non-default value here.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
