Shared libraries appear but fail to connect.

On both my iMac and iBook I have installed Leopard and iPhoto 08. I have "look for shared photos" enabled on both computers. On either computer, the names of either library appear normally under "Shares" grouping in the left hand pane.
The problem occurs on my iMac when selecting the name of the iBook library, I will get the spinning beach-ball for a few moments before the name of the library disappears from the left hand pane. iPhoto does not crash or anything, the rest of the application continues to function as usual and I am getting no error messages or logs in the console. I do not have a password set for either shared library (although I did try putting one on just to test, no dice).
On both machines I have tried deleting iPhoto .plist files, restarted the applications, restarted the computers etc.
Oddly enough, sharing works perfectly going from iBook to iMac.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Any solutions outside of reinstalling iLife? do you even think that would even do the trick?
I don't think this is warrants a reinstall. I don't think that it will help because the issue is in this iMac library.
Try
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Remote speakers appear but fail to connect

    [Also posted in the AirPort for Windows discussion forum.]
    I have had AirTunes running for over a year, requiring only the occasional reboot. We rely on it for music throughout the house. The setup:
    wired LAN of multiple Windows XP Pro computers, Windows Firewall configured for iTunes and Bonjour and File Sharing ->
    Linksys WRV54G router wirelessly connected to ->
    AirPort Express (latest firmware update 6.3.0.1 didn't fix the problem) configured as a relay on the same wireless network.
    The AE appropriately lights up steady green (or flashing amber when I reboot the router) and the remote speakers appear appropriately in the iTunes speaker menu (iTunes v 6.0.4.2). Obviously, the box to look for airtunes speakers is checked. Music plays out of my computer's speakers just fine.
    THE PROBLEM IS that when I select the remote speakers I get the "Connecting to [remote speakers]" dialog, which ultimately times out in a failure, repeatedly. Ditto for checking the box next to the remote speakers when I select "multiple speakers."
    I believe I checked internet access through a powerbook wired to the AE and that worked fine (powerbook ->wired to AE ->wireless to router ->to internet).
    Anybody else with this problem recently? So many iTunes updates came out so quickly that I can't tell if this is the problem. Any ideas of what else to fiddle with?
    Homebuilt Windoze   Windows XP Pro   Linksys WRV54G router, AirPort Express

    I have been running into similiar issues with a few AirPort Express units I have put in for other folks lately in both MAC and PC networks.
    AirPort Express units are all running version 6.2 firmware.
    AirTunes works fine, then you can not longer connect to the remote speakers after some period of time. The AE has has a Green LED lit. Unplug the AE for 30 seconds and life is good, for a while.
    I am planning on changing the AE from DCHP to a static IP address to see how things work.

    I'm at a loss. and I've googled my little heart out.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the forums - and thanks for a great initial post, all the needed information seems to be here.
    Specifically, the following error from wpa_supplicant will most likely be best to dig into:
    wlp3s0: failed to initialize driver interface
    I see several results of this error in a google search, but none of them quickly translated into solutions yet.  To get some more information on it, could you run the same wpa_supplicant command, but with the verbose debugging flag "-dd" and post the ouput here?
    I don't have a intel wireless card, so I don't know what the diagnostic signs are for the problem addressed in the wiki, but you may want to try the modprobe options shown in this section of the wiki.
    EDIT: there is a similar but unresolved thread on these forums here which points to using the -D flag for wpa_supplicant to specify other drivers.  I was thinking this too upon my first reading, but I don't fully understand what these are so I was reluctant to suggest it.  It certainly can't hurt anything to use the command in the wiki to see which drivers are available, then try each one.
    EDIT 2: and this thread seems to indicate that the -D flag driver specification is the right solution.  So start here with the -D flag and only if that fails follow up with my initial debugging suggestions.

  • Can connect with AE but fail on connecting with internet

    For some reasons I needed to re-conflict my AE and changed the wireless name. 2 of my Mac computer and my iTouch could connect with no problem. But my PC (XP2) could connect with this AE but failed on internet with error message "limited or not connectivity".
    Had to Restore my PC one day back (using the System Restore), reset my AE to previous name. Now everything is ok ... what's the reason behind ???
    Thank you

    I finally get the answer :-
    The XP only works for WEP 128bit with 13 characters password and not 5 characters

  • I Have 15 inch G4 that can not acquire wireless net work, I can see other wireless but failes to connect

    The air port is on and it is asking to join the network that is available, I type in the passcode and every time it comes back connection failed.
    I havr trird the same set  up on manyn other of my apple devices, ( Ipad, Iphone 4 & 4S, Mac book pro 15" & 13" they all work fine with the same passcode)
    I cant figure out why this power book is failing to connect to the wifi and or ethernet connection. I also tried to connect to a hard wire conection LAN and it still stated that it was not connected to the ethertnet.
    please help

    Since it doesn't connect via wifi or ethernet, something is not setup correctly. Don't know if Safari in OS 10.5 works the same as Safari in OS 10.4, but open Safari. When Safari doesn't connect to the internet, you should get a message that will walk you thru the setup. Do this first when connected via ethernet.

  • Lost shared network visibility but not internet connection

    4 days ago I brought my i-mac osx 10.6.8 to the office, plugged in the network cable and was immediately connected to the shared network. This morning the network showed up but was not accessible. It showed an error when I tried to access a network folder. I restarted the computer and the shared network disappeared but I am still connected to the internet. Noone else is having problems. Any ideas? 

    If it's not you, have you checked with the folks that are maintaining the local network?
    What was the error that was reported when trying to access a network folder?
    If you're connecting to a server of some sort, your client may have to be added and reconfigured to allow access to the server(s) and the local security, or potentially to the network itself.  (If this is a moderate- or larger-sized office, virtual LANs and the managed switches are fairly common, and can cause your system to be treated as a guest system, for instance.)

  • LT1423P (wireless) - Conneting but fails to connect

    I've yet to have a stable connection my LT1423P for over a month now.  I raised a support case about not being able to connect to it via 5Ghz and was sent a replacement.  when I tried that one it also didn't connect at 5Ghz.  Since then, I can't connect at all via wireless!!
    I just get Connecting... in the Lenovo control panel, the LT1423P connects, displays the screen (but not touch sensitive), then after about 10 to 15 seconds it disconnects, then reconnects, then disconnects etc.. for a few times, then no connection.
    It works fine when connected via USB though, and it worked before I tried connecting via 5Ghz.
    I've tried uninstalling everything and re-installing but still no luck (everything = Lenovo control panel, displaylink, RTLink wifi drivers) - I've even gone into device manager, shown hidden devices and deleted the ones that appear to be to do with Lenovo or RTLink.
    Any ideas on how I can sanitise my system of all the Lenovo software (files, devices, drivers, registry etc..) so I can start again?  and before you suggest - NO, I'm not rebuilding or reinstalling or repairing my Windows 8.1 as there is far too much on it and I don't have the time to do that.
      Many thanks

    I got the problem too.
    This comes from the fact the the monitor does not support recent DisplayLink drivers in wireless mode.
    To use it in wireless mode, you have to stick with displaylink driver version 7.4 M4, and not above as far as I can tell.

  • HT5783 My MacBook Pro (Mid-2009) digital output has stopped working. It turns on the red light at the other side of the plug, but fails to connect with my receiver. Output from Airport works fine.

    It was working fine until now, and now suddenly, the sound is gone. I've tried PRAM and SMC reset. Nothing works.
    Using the same cable with my airport express, through airplay, the sound comes out fine.
    It wasn't working when on Mavericks, nor now, on Yosemite.

    Hey marcalc,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with the digital output of your MacBook Pro. The following resource may provide a solution:
    OS X Mavericks: If you can’t hear sound from your speakers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13841
    If you’re trying to listen through a digital receiver
    If you’re using your computer’s digital output port (not available on all computers), choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Sound, then click Output. Make sure Digital Output is selected.
    Make sure your computer is connected to a digital-ready receiver using an optical digital cable, and that your receiver is set up for digital input (see the information that came with your receiver).
    Try adjusting the volume on your receiver. You can’t use the computer’s volume controls to adjust the volume while using digital output.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • HT201269 hello, i have a new i phone and required to connet but fail to connect please help

    hi i have new phone and it is required to activate i tunes and other features

    Wifi and 3G are totally separate. 3G is covered under your cell plan; data over wifi is always free. You can view and connect to wifi networks that are either open or that you know the password to, without cost to you.

  • I think I have a shared libraries problem - but not sure...

    Ok - when I installed itunes on my computer and pointed it at where I keep my music on my computer, the software asked me something along the lines of "do I want to add all the files from all locations" - to which I said yes.  Unfortunately I didn't realise it would then grab all the music files from every computer on our home network (and my husband has LOADS of stuff I don't want!).
    So anyway -- I have all these tracks in my libraray - is there any way to take them off my libraary without having to go through and delete them all individually?  To effectively remove everything which isn't on *my* pc?
    I hope that makes sense - it is kindof difficult to explain!
    Thanks

  • My HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m failed to connect wirelessly to my router

    When setting up my printer to connect to my wireless router, the printer can see the network Name (SSID) but failed to connect to it using WEP password.  The Wireless Network Report shows the printer Authentication Type is "Open System" while my router is configured as "Shared".  How do I change the Authentication Type on my printer to match the Router? Thank you.

    WEP is not at all secure.  It can be broken in about 10 minutes with freeware.  It is also known to cause printer connection issues.
    Change to WPA or WPA2 with a 13+ character passphrase consisting of numbers, letters, upper and lower case.

  • FaceTime fails to connect snow leopard imac

    The setup is a home network with ethernet to an up-to-date snow leopard iMac and the WiFi on the same subnet, running off of a Linksys wft54g with the latest firmware. uPnP is enabled on the router.
    From a Macbook Air with Lion on a network at work, I can call and receive FaceTime calls to the iPhone on the home WiFi network.
    However, FaceTime rings but fails to connect on the iMac.
    So, Facetime to/from iPhone is going through the same home router over the same network using the same DNS, etc.. and it works.
    But Facetime to/from the iMac does not. I've tried with the firewall on/off on the iMac as well as google DNS, etc., with no luck.
    If the Lion MBA is on the same network, all works fine.
    Any ideas? What is different about Facetime btw iPhone and snow leopard iMac that causes this difference?
    Much appreciated.

    HI. I have a macbook air 1.3 ghz intel core i5 / 4gb 1600 mhz ddr3, and i use OS X mav 10.9.4.
    Today i tryed to conect facetime either to another same macbook air or iphone 5 and i cant see my camera image.
    Facetime opens and i can get audio but no image at all.
    Preferences are not available on menu. if i click, it goes gray (notjing shows up) then its impossible to see it.
    I have tryed reinstaling os x and also reset smc and nothing worked so far.
    I open photo both and image not showing also. open skype and camera preview not showing.
    Could it be a problem with my camera? if so, why cant i log in my facetime preferences??

  • LAN connection, PC, signal received to laptop but can't connect

    I am visiting my parents who have a LAN connnection and a PC running Windows XP. I brought my Airport extreme, (coned version) with me so that I would be able to use my laptop while here. When ever I connect the Airport (LAN box? into Airport, Airport into PC) both computers show a connection to the interent but fail to connect to the internet. I have also tried plugging the ethernet cable directly into my laptop and I have no luck there as well.
    I have tried to look through help on the pc and there is no help to be found.
    If anyone out there should know how I can fix this problem it sure would be great.
    thanks

    Is this a DSL connection or cable modem connection?
    If it is a cable modem connection you must power off the cable modem whenever you switch the Ethernet output from one device to another. This causes the cable modem to forget the device that it was talking to. The cable modem will then discover the new device and communicate with it.
