Shared Libraries + Unable to Sync

Hi,
I am sure this is obvious but my problem has driven me mad for months.
I have moved all my music to a WD MyBooklive NAS. It resides under a shared folder called music.
When I open ITunes, the majority of my music is displayed as a 'Shared Library'. Anything I have purchaed recently (on my iphone) is shown under 'Music' in ITunes but the old CR ripped stuff residing on the NAS as I said comes up only under 'Shared Library'. Consequently (and obviously to perhaps most of you) when I connect my Iphone to ITunes, it says it needs to delete everything and restore it again. If I click ok, it restores with an old backup but only with the music I have purchased a) recently and b) via my iphone.
When I open ITunes I do select the library from the NAS drive and it plays music from there fine. I have also set the location of the ITunes Media Folder (under preferences) to the the location on the NAS.
All I want to do it get my old music back on my Iphone.. Presently I have about 150 songs compared to many 1000's I have on the NAS. I have tried creating new playlists and dragging from the 'Shared' library but to no avail. I also have no great space left on my Macbook to move 'some' of the music back to the laptop.
As I said this is driving me mad... I cannot be the only person who wants to house his music on a large NAS and also have some of it on his iphone, surely?
Can someone help please???
Thanks

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer.

Without knowing what you have installed or what modifications you have done it is not possible to say what goes wrong. Like I previously mentioned, you may have installed an incompatible version of a core system library. Sorry, I'm not going to read any installation manual to find out what you might have done wrong. You may need to reinstall the complete system or just the popt installation package.
Based on my experience people sometimes seem to misunderstanding the concept of software version requirements, which are always minimum version requirements and does not mean, for instance, software made for gcc 4.1.10 does not work under 4.1.12. You cannot simply upgrade or downgrade core system libraries without affecting the installed system. Using YUM to install software will check this and prevent you from breaking your system. RPM does not check any dependencies and hence can break your system beyond repair.

Unable to sync photos from iPhoto to Apple TV

I am using iphoto5.0.4 and am unable to sync photos. I select the photo album and click on the "apply" button which greys out for a while and then reverts. When I click on "my photos" in Apple TV I get the message that "There are no photos on your Apple TV." The ATV is able to stream photos from my Powerbook G4 just fine. When I go to "Screen Saver" on the ATV it is only able to access Apple Photos. I upgraded the ATV software without effect. What am I doing wrong?

On the tv you should have selected 'settings/computers/connect to itunes library', I think you likely selected 'settings/computers/connect to shared library'. You may have to select your current shared library and unlink it before you can set it up properly but I'm not too sure as I've not had to do it myself.

Shared "libraries"/mltple computers wireless networked to shared hard drive

I really spent some time researching this question prior to posting. My goal is to have three computers (mine, wife's,kid's) all accessing a single hard drive on which all of our combined music is stored with iTunes on each computer seeing our whole library of music, then all of us can create playlists, sync to varous nano's, shuffles, etc. Hard drive is all set up, wireless access is set, all three computers can access various other shared files on the hard drive. All three computers have been "mapped" so that they look at this new Z drive, so I went through Edit/Pref/Advanced/General and changed each computer to look at this new Z drive versus their own C: drive/Music folder etc. Then I went through Advanced, Consolidate on one computer to put all of our music that used to be on one individual computer's hard drive and successfully moved it out to the new shared, wirelessly accessable Z drive.
Now, I want to be able to add new songs to that Z drive, ideally from any individual computer and have all other computers "see" those new songs that are now out on the Z drive. I have gone around the house and tested adding via CD's new songs from each computer to the new shared Z drive and that works. However, each of the individual iTunes libraries do not see the new songs.....is there some way that each computer's iTunes could update itself so that it recognizes that there are new songs out on the shared hard drive??? If so, I can't seem to figure out how to make it work.
Also, on Edit/Preferences/Sharing...I have selected and checked "Look for shared libraries" and also selected/checked "share my library on local network"....and selected/checked "share entire library"....and I have done this on each indvidual computer, but I am not sure if those are the right selections/checks to achieve my goals. Is this what I should do on each computer?? In the blank "Shared name:" I typed "iTunesShared" which is the name of the file that I created on the shared hard drive and I did this on each computer in each individual iTunes program. Is this what I should be doing??
Finally, on one of the computers (the computer that I have been currently using to add CD's to our shared hard drive) under Library, on the left hand column...there is a heading called "Shared" and under that heading it lists two subheadings - one called "Owners's music" and the other called "Susan's music" - and those seem to turn off and on if I have one of the other two computers logged on and its iTunes program launched. If I go to one of the other computers and shut down iTunes on it, one of those subheadings will disappear. Also, with iTunes launched on the two other computers - I see under the "Shared" heading the "iTunesShared" heading and if I click on it, iTunes is then looking at the Z drive with all of the our songs stored on it....but the other two computers can only see this file if the computer that I have been downloading songs from is launched....i.e., the only way all three computers can see the Z drive with our full song library on it is if just one of the other computers is up, running and has iTunes launched.
Again, my goal here is to have all three computers iTunes be looking at the Z drive so that they would have access to our full library of songs...so, any ideas how I can make that happen or what I have done wrong here?? I think I am closing to figuring this out but am now stuck. Any advice or guidance would be much appreciated.
thanks,

Seems like you have things set up right. You may be disappointed though.
Each account on each computer is separate as far as libraries go. Even if all are set to save to the same location, like yours, the different libraries do not see each other. The library files for each user are basically just shortcuts to where the tracks are, so even if 5 users add the file to their own library there will be media file.
What this means is that adding files with one, the others will not know it. There is no setting available to change this behavior. Each user must add the files to their own library using the 'add folder' or 'add file' options.
Is that everything? You had a big post.

Shared Libraries Not Working

This problem has just come up recently and for no apparent reason as far as I can tell.
I'm at college and a lot of people in the dorm, including myself, have our iTunes libraries set to share. This has worked fine for months now until a few days ago. For whatever reason I can no longer see shared libraries and mine isn't being shared.
Topics I've seen before talk about the iTunes store, and that works fine with me. I do have the proper boxes checked. It isn't being blocked by the firewall, and the problem occurs even with the firewall off.
I haven't done anything to my iTunes recently other than adding a few cd's and syncing my iPod. I haven't done anything major to my comp. at all either. Can't figure out why it isn't working recently.

Quite possible it could be a firewall issue maybe? I've had firewall software update itself and then start blocking things that had previously been allowed. Just a thought...

Shared libraries in Photos 1.0

My wife and I have traditionally shared a single library in iPhoto (stored on an external drive). Can we continue to do so in Photos? Are there any complications when it comes to shared libraries and iCloud Photo Library? (I could just plow ahead and try it out, but it'd be my head if I did anything to compromise our existing library of family photos.) Tips from more adventurous upgraders most welcome.

You can certainly create a library on an external drive or have multiple libraries, though only one (system library) will sync with iCloud Photo library, though I assume that is per user - not sure how it might affect things if you are using differernt iCloud credentials.

Shared libraries / home sharing and iPod touch

i have never had nor used an iphone or ipod touch, but am considering an iPod touch. i would really like to be able to see, organize, and play shared libraries. eg:
- use my touch to access the Mac upstairs that has all my music on it's itunes
- build or choose a playlist
- play from that machine to my airtunes, viewing the playlist through itunes on the touch
is this possible?
thanks!

Setting up Home Sharing
Note: To stream your iTunes library to your iPod touch, you will need iOS 4.3 or later.
On your iPod touch, tap Settings > Music.
In the Home Sharing section, enter the same Apple ID and password you entered on your computer (or computers) and tap the return button.
Playing Home Sharing content
To watch shared videos on your iPod touch, tap Videos > Shared and select a shared library.
To listen to shared music on your iPod touch, tap Music > More… > Shared and select a shared library.
Note: If your iPod touch does not have a locally store library, you will enter your shared library in the Music and Videos apps immediately when you open them.
Additional Information
If you receive an error message saying that your device was "Unable to turn on Home Sharing", then you may have entered your password incorrectly. Tap OK and try again.

Shared Libraries and personal security

Have there been any security issues with Shared Libraries?

Not sure if this will help. But here is my story. We have home network with my spouse's IMac and my HP Elite Windows 7 64 PC on the network. The IMac detected the ATV and sync'd with it. My Win 7 PC would not detect it.
Call/chats with HP, Microsoft, Apple and Costco Concierge all failed to solve this problem. HP and Apple wanted $70 to have their "experts" diagnose it.
After fiddling with this for weeks, my spouse said "don't you know only one PC can be connected at a time?!! I learned that Apple TV can only detect or sync with one PC at a time. When the IMac was disconnected to the Apple TV, my Windows 7 PC did detect the Apple TV when I Tunes was launched. Simple solution. Glad I did not pay HP or Apple TV $70-80 to diagnose this problem.
I told all four support lines that we had a IMac on the network and it did detect the Apple TV. But NONE of them seem to know that the ATV can connect to a local area network PC one at a time. Amazying. But now it is solved.

Can't enable shared libraries in Parental - grey checkbox

Hi to all.
After the reinstallation of Leopard, I've found out that I'm unable to use shared library feature in iTunes. The checkbox in the Parental, saying Disable Shared libraries is checked and inactive (grey). Just as long as the Radio one. There is no way I can uncheck it (lock is opened, tried everything). What could that be? I reinstalled again and noticed that Shared libraries works OK on a brand new-installed system. After the installation of any update (Airport, iTunes, QT) the situation in the iTunes Preferences becomes just as i've described above.
I'll appreciate any suggestions. Googling for several hours gave me nothing.

Hi,
This does not answer your question.
I have updated to the newest OS 10.6.5, I want my daughter to be able to have her music on her iTune set up using Parental controls. I don't have a check box for shard libraries. There must be a way to port her music to her iTunes site. Any answers out there?

I think that he probably updated my version of iTunes to 10.5.0.56, but can't say for sure. Now I am unable to sync my 3G. My first thought is that my 3G isn't compatible with iTunes 10.5.0.56. Thank you in advance for any input.

Thanks for the reply.
That's not the answer because it synced fine at work with the same version of Aperture. I restored my iPhone at home to sync with my home machine, but it won't see Aperture libraries at home.
Just to be clear, Aperture shows up as a sync source, but when I tell it to sync Aperture photos, no libraries show up. It's as if I didn't have any libraries in Aperture.
