Set up home sharing on PC and laptop but it is not showing the owner's library on laptop - on PC it has nothing in it? Has everything in the library above.

I have done everything it says to do however nothing is showing up on my laptop.  It says Miss Kidds library which is the name of my user on the PC so I know it has recognised it.  On my PC it doesnt have anything in the owners library under the shared box, not sure if this has anything to do with it? I have tried copying and pasting from my library to it and nothing has worked.

  • I am trying to set up internet sharing from my macbook air but there does not seem to be an option for this because the air is connected to the internet via wifi connection. Is it possible to still share this?

    It depends upon how the other machines are connecting to your MBA:
    If the the other machines are also using wi-fi, they can connect directly to the wireless access point (router) without going through your MBA
    If the other machines are connecting to the MBA using ethernet you can share your wi-fi connection to them

  • I have registered with and validated click and buy but it is not showing on my itunes account

    I have registered with and validated click and buy but it is not showing on my itunes account???

    In iTunes these should theoretically be available on the iTunes Store home page.
    On the right of that page under Quick Links find Purchased section (if available for your country) and then choose the TV Show category and choose to download there - it doesn't happen automatically.
    If not in US you won't be able to redownload movies (yet anyway).
    If a title is not available there are reasons for this but you'd expect it to be if you've only just bought it.
    Actually I prefer buying in iTunes - I bought some TV episodes on AppleTV but cannot complete my season in iTunes - maybe i can't for that show (support were useless) but I do wonder if it's because the purchase was made on ATV.

    I installed a font (french cursive) into elements 11, and restarted but it's not showing up.  It shows up for other programs.  What am I doing wrong?

    Elements uses the installed system fonts. You install them in the fonts folder. On windows click the start button and type fonts into the search box to find the folder with all your fonts. If you downloaded the cursive fonts in a zip folder you musy first extract (unzip) the files and then copy or drag them into the fonts folder.

  • I just got a new Windows tablet.  I set up Home Sharing between it and my desktop Mac but I can't seem to get playlists from my desktop into the tablet.  Can I do this by plugging my tablet into my desktop via a USB cable?

    I just got an HP Stream 8 tablet with Windows on it.  I have a Mac desktop running 10.6.8.  I set up Home Sharing by making sure both had the same version of iTunes and I authorized the new tablet (desktop already was).  (I haven't exceeded the number of authorized computers.)  I would like to take some of the playlists I have on my desktop Mac and copy them into iTunes on the tablet.  I hooked up the tablet to my desktop with a USB cable but wasn't able to get it to copy.  I do not have WIFI....is there a way to do this by just having the tablet hooked up via the USB cable?  If so, can someone please talk me through the steps necessary to do that?  Thanks!

    Did you erase the machine and set it up with your accounts or is the previous user still on it?
    Please note that Mountain Lion is far from being an app, it is your Macs operating system.

  • Set up home sharing on iMac and iPhone. iPhone app launches fine, play library but only plays on iMac, not iPhone. Why?

    I set up Home Sharing on both my iMac and iPhone. When I launched the phone app and selected my iTunes library, the music played on iMac but not on the iPhone. That was the whole purpose of turning on Home Sharing. What am I missing?

    Anyone? This is really irritating me because it's so simple and worked just fine, but now it just won't work and I need it.

  • My iphone 4s is recognized by itunes and iphoto, but it will not show as a device in finder for macbook pro

    My iPhone 4s is recognized by itunes and iphoto however it does not show up in finder under devices.

    I don't agree - I have two IMacs and two iPhones - the iPhone 4S show up on one machine, but not the other.  They do show that they are charging, and a memory stick will open on the same USB ports.  So, I don't think this is how they are "supposed to work"......

  • I have done al the right things to set up home sharing for mine and my sons itunes lib but i still not getting the icon showing in the menu for us to select can anyne help?

    Hi I have done all the right things to set up the home sharing, turned it on, aurthorised it with the same details, but we still have not got the home icon in the menu to select. can anyone help?

    If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
    If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
    Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • USB 3.0 host controller and USB Root Hub xHCI not showing up on Windows 8.1 laptop

    Greetings and thank you for taking the time to read the following message and 'maybe' attempt to help me with my current plight...
    I have an HP envy m6 laptop running Windows 8.1 and Windows 7. The problem i am facing at current is that i have only 1 out of 4 usb ports working on my Windows 8.1 partition however on my Server 2012 partition, all four ports are working fine. After asking
    around i have come to the conclusion that i'm having a driver issue. I compared what was present on the Windows 7 USB controllers (in Device Manager) to what was present on the Windows 8.1 controllers and i found that my Intel(R) USB 3.0 extensible host controller
    - 0100 (Microsoft) and my USB Root Hub (xHCI) was missing on my Windows 8.1 partition. 
    Now for some background....the problem first occurred when i was trying to solve an external hard drive issue in which none of my external hard drives where showing up when i plugged them into my usb ports, i came across an online solution telling me to
    uninstall all my USB drivers in device manager, restart the laptop and let the computer re install the drivers automatically, the result was that i only had 1 out of 4 ports working. Could someone please point me in the right direction in order to fix this
    problem? 

    Windows 8 has native USB 3.0 drivers which explains why you are not seeing an option to roll back. I do not believe you can make the Windows 7 driver work. Have you tried uninstalling in the device manager all usb items and then rebooting to let the drivers reload? Do that with the computer off the dock and then plug it into the dock. As a general rule you should not do driver updates to a laptop through a docking station.

  • I purchased a movie for my last ipod nana on my last laptop but it's not showing up in my purchased items. Do I need to buy it again? Or what do I do?

    I had my last laptop stolen with the movie on there along with my other itune purchases, but then I had to return my ipod nano bought a new ipod nano and I got back all my other purchases items(songs) but I didn't get my movie. I was wondering is there a way to get it back?

    You should be regularly backing up. You will have to purchase again as there is no way to retreive a movie.
    Music and TV shows can be reloaded (currently US only) as well as Apps and books

  • TS2972 When I set up Home sharing on my computers they dont show up in Itunes on the left tab even though net work and internet are working

    When I set up Home Sharing on my itunes account it still doesn't show up when I open itunes even though network and internet is fine

    You can only share from a computer to another computer or device, so your iPad won't appear on your computer's iTunes but your computer's iTunes library should show under the More button in the iPad's Music app (assuming that home sharing is 'on' on both, iTunes is open on your computer and they are connected to the same wifi network).  Is that not happening ?

  • HT4527 I want to move all my iTunes from old PC to new PC but Home Sharing on both and it works.  At Step 11, I clicked Home Sharing Import button doesn't work.

    Help!  I want to move all my iTunes music, podcasts, etc. from an old PC to a new PC. I set up Home Sharing on both and it works.  I followed the steps in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 to the letter.  At Step 11, I clicked on Home Sharing on my new PC, then Edit > Select All so I could then import everything to the new computer.  No matter what I try, the Import button doesn't work.  There are two buttons on the lower right hand side of the iTunes screen - one for Settings and one for Import.  The Settings button is clickable but the Import button isn't even live.  In other words, I can see it but not click on it.  I have double-checked my firewall and it is not the problem.  How can I get the Import button to work? 

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • TS2972 Right guys, I have set up home sharing on my Desktop and my Laptop.  I can access the Library on each but it won't let me import for one to the other!! What have I done wrong?!!!

    I have set up home sharing on my desktop and my laptop, I can access the library for each on both computers but it won't let me click on import!!  Any ideas why it won't let me import?
    Cheers

    I can access the library for each on both computers but it won't let me click on import!!
    Is the Import button greyed out?
    If so ... quickly doublechecking ... do you currently have any items selected in the screen?

  • I cannot log on to ITunes to set up Home sharing between my new IPAD and AppleTV. Therfe is not even the typical home screen for me to log on to my account at APlle Store or ITunes?

    I have a new IPAD and just bought APple TV. Need to set up home sharing on my account and have followed Support options wherein you log into ITunes, choose advanced, then allow Home sharing. There is no place to even sign in to ITunes as i have always seen before. Cannot start ITunes on  Laptop (linked to IPAD) at all but can from Browser. Trying to share content from my IPAD and APple TV.
    I had no problem doing so on my home PC and APple TV but not IPAD?

    What does "can from browser" mean?
    Trying to share content from my IPAD and APple TV.
    You don't share content from AppleTV (as it contains no content) and you can AirpPlay from iPad to AppleTV, not share content.
    To turn on Home Sharing on the iPad, Settings > Store.
    THis allow soyu to view the content of the iTune slibrary on your comnoputer.
