Shared Folder not showing up, no option in preferences to "look for shared libraries"

I have followed all of the instructions to set up sharing of my iTunes library with my daughters' computers and am unable to get it to work. The Shared folder is not present in iTunes and in the preferences menu, it says that sharing is on but no computers are connected. Is this a problem with an iTunes update? My sharing has worked in the past, but hasn't worked since the latest update!

Anders,
To narrow down the problem, take the external drive and hook it up to different mac and then share it. Compare the results. If it works from the other mac it's a problem on your mac, if it doesn't then it's a problem on the removable drive.

No Mirroring in Ipad 2? I have IPAD2 and Apple Tv 4.3. I can airplay videos/music from Ipad2 to my HDTV via ATV, but I cant mirror it. When I select airplay to switch from Ipad2 to Apple TV, Mirroring does not show as an option. What am I missing?

Smart Folder not showing files

Hi guys, i'm trying to save a search on folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub/, but the smart folder is not showing the files even when i'm looking at those files, can any one tell me what am i doing wrong?
Thanks!

I have bad news for you. There appears to be a problem with the [Contains Attachments] condition in smart mailboxes. For smart mailbox purposes, Mail does’t realize a message contains attachments until you view its contents. I don’t think there is anything you can do about it other than reporting the problem here:

HT204053 my mac is updated but icloud is not showing up in my system preferences...

my mac is updated but icloud is not showing up in my system preferences, only MobileMe which looks like it charges a fee. Are icloud and mobileme the same? i thought they were different. if they are different why can't i see icloud on my mac?

Your Mac is 3 versions of OS X out of date, current release is 10.9.1, minimum required for Lion is 10.7.4, you have 10.6.8.
Download 10.9.1 (Mavericks) from the App Store

I downloaded lion and cloud does not show up in my system preferences. Not sure how to get started without finding icloud., I downloaded lion and cloud does not show up in my system preferences. Not sure how to get started without finding icloud.

I just downloaded lion and cloud does not show up in my system preferences. Where is it hiding so I can set up icloud and see what lion is offering that is different from snow leopard.

I purchased Lion on the app program but that did not seem to update my software or my operating system. Curious. It showed up on my menu bar saying it was downloading then disappeared. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Suggestions where I should look to make sure it is installed (which clearly it isn't)
Thanks Roger

System files are hidden by default in Finder now, search for what you want then click the little + button on the top right of the bar that appears when you do a search. A new bar comes up and click the first box (that says "Kind"), change it to "System Files". Then change the box that says "aren't included" to "are included" and your file should show up.

I am using iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2 but can not use iCloud with it. I've looked for updates in iPhoto and iLife'11 but no luck. Suggestions very welcome.

No you won't necessarily lose your photos when upgrading but it's very very unwise not to back up first. Backing up is like using a seat belt in a car. You can drive without one for years and have no issues, but if you do have a problem the outcome will be a lot worse. So, too, with back ups. And upgrading is one of those times when the risks of a problem are higher.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

I am looking for software to store photos with. I am not a fancy photographer, and really am just looking for the digital version of a photo album. iPhoto is not cutting it, mainly because it does not back up and restore easily on an external HD.

I am looking for software to store photos with. I am not a fancy photographer, and really am just looking for the digital version of a photo album. iPhoto is not cutting it, mainly because it does not back up and restore easily on an external HD.

That's how Time Machine and iPhoto now work. Restore the library to one of the external HDs, check it for the photos you want, export them to the boot drive and delete the restored library.
If you know the file name of the photo you're looking for you can search for them in the TM backup using Find Any File.
My workflow allows me to do that:
1 - upload new photos to a folder on the Desktop.
2 - name the folder to represent the contents and date: 01/03/10-Toads Bday
3 - use a file renaming app to sequentially rename the photos in the folder to: 2010-01-03-Toads Bday-001.JPG, -002,JPG, -003.JPG, etc.
4 - import the folder into iPhoto creating an Event with the same title as the folder.
Now I can search for those file by file name with any app of my choosing.

Problems with images greyed out. Downloaded folder not showing up in Left Panel

Downloaded folder and it showed up in Lightroom. Next day images greyed out Folder doesnt show in Left Panel. Lightroom says no images to Import. What do I do?

Thanks so much dj for your response. Unfortunately I did start in the Library module and the folder wasn't there to click on. It was really strange, but the usual 'Previous Import' link wasn't showing anything! That's why I tried to reimport.
If the folder doesn't show in your Library module, then you probably (accidentally) imported the photos using the MOVE option instead of the ADD option. You have to search for the desired photos by file name, and NOT by folder. Perform all of the following 4 steps, and you will find your photos
Go to the Catalog Panel on the left in the Library Module and click on All Photographs
Turn off all filters (Ctrl/Cmd-L once or twice)
Expand all Stacks (Photo->Stacking->Expand All Stacks)
Search by file name

Pdfs and MP3s in iTunes Folder not showing up iTunes Library - Please Help

Hi, I am running iTunes 10.7 on a 15 inch MacBook Pro 2.4 Ghz Intel Core i7 with 4 GB of RAM using OS X 10.7.5.
My problem is that when I bring the latest set of pdf and MP3 files I added do not show up in my iTunes library. If I go through the finder they are in the iTunes folder, but they will not display or play.
Thank you
Nucleus

They will not play or display even outside of iTunes? Not with Quicktime Player (for the mp3s) or Preview (for the PDFs)? If that's the case the files are probably corrupt.
Adding items to iTunes and not having them appear in the library is a recurring problem with newer versions for some.
Try restarting iTunes.
Check your recently added playlist. If they are there, try temporarily editing an item in the name, then restart iTunes and see if it appears.
Start iTunes, immediately hold down the option key and create a new, test library. Add the files to it. Do they add? If yes, then they are readable by iTunes. Go back to your old library using hte option key thing again.

Drop Box folder in the Public folder not showing on the network

Hi everyone,
I am running a MacBook Pro 2010 running OS X 10.8.3 Mountain Lion. We have an office and multiple mac computers connected to our network. For us to transfer files we use the Drop Box folder inside the Public folder (We do not use the dropbox website/service). We would use the finder and click on the computer on the sidebar, open the Drop Box folder and drag files in with no hassel. However my Drop Box folder is not showing up when other users are trying to access my computer via the network.
My file sharing is on and I have attached an image with the settings I am using. I have compared these settings to other macs in the office that have a working Drop Box folder and they match. Hope you guys can help me.

Contact Drop Box tech support.
