Shared Library Doesn't Display Events

I want to share my iPhoto library with another user on the same computer. So in Preferences I turned on sharing. When the other user logs in and selects the shared library they just get a panel with thousands of loose photos unlike the original library that has them separated into Events. How do I fix that? Thanks!

There's nothing to fix, you can't share the Events. What you can do is share Albums. You can quickly create albums from Events simply by selecting all the pics in an Event (command-a) and going Shift-command-n (or File -> New Album from Selection)

Home Sharing Library doesn't include all music that's in main Music Library

Sorry if this has been answered previously. I haven't been able to fashion a search to find the answer.
I turned on Home Sharing in the Remote app on my iPhone 4. It readily found my Home Sharing Library from my iMac (that contains 1306 items). After entering in my Apple ID and password, I tried to search for a recently purchased song using the Remote app and it didn't find it. I went to the iMac and immediately found the song in the Library and in the Purchased playlist. I also noticed that the Library on the iMac contains 2781 items.
Question #1: Why wouldn't the Home Sharing Library on my iMac not contain the same songs that are in the Library on the same iMac?
To solve the problem, I just synced the iMac to the Remote app (not through Home Sharing) and was able to see my entire library.
Problem/Question #2: Since my Home Sharing library doesn't show all the music, when my wife's MacBook Home Shares, she too does not see all the music available for streaming. They are all on the same wi-fi network. The reason I use Home Sharing vs. Sharing of the library is that I automatically transfer iPhone apps across the network as she syncs her iPhone to her computer (she wants no music).
Hoping someone can help me troubleshoot.
Thanks.

i'm guessing you used more than one iTunes store account to purchase content.
if that's the case, try authorizing your Mac to play/use the content purchased from the other iTS account(s).
that's basically very easy. all you have to do is +log out+ of one account (click on the account name in the Store window and select +sign out+ from the pop-up dialog) and into the other, and then they will both be authorized. when done, sign back into your usual account. you'll have to do that one time only.

Music from shared library will not display by artist or album.

How do I set up home sharing to display music from shared library by artist and album?

I am not sure if the fix that cuatro476804 suggested is the issue here. I have also been experiencing freezing issues with my Apple TV since the latest Apple TV/iTunes updates. Here is the bug report I just submitted to Apple:
Since the last update to Apple TV or the last updates to iTunes (not sure which is the culprit) Apple TV freezes when trying to play music streamed from iTunes on a Mac.
I have an iMac running iTunes [11.01 (12)] and a 3rd gen Apple TV running the latest OS release as of 12-20-2012. Since the last software update for iTunes and Apple TV, the Apple TV will freeze when playing a song after about 10 - 20 seconds. This happens whether I am using my computer directly or when using the "remote" app on my iPhone 5. I can restart my song again by pressing play, but the song will freeze again after another 10 - 20 seconds.
I can temporarily cure the bug by unplugging my Apple TV for 5 seconds to cold start the gizmo, and then both iTunes and Remote seem to be able to stream without any issues.
but when I try to play music the next day, the same freezing issue occurs again like clockwork.
I thought this was just a rare buggy issue, maybe even a WiFi or other communication problem, but I have been playing tunes on my Apple TV for a couple years streamed from my iMac with not problems. This only started happening after the last software update. Again, not sure if this is the Apple TV update, or the iTunes 10.01 (12) update causing this.
Daily rebooting of the Apple TV is not an acceptable solution. Were this a Microsoft product, sure, but Apple product... its just supposed to work :-)
I hope others will report the same issue so this gets repaired soon.

Account Dim in Shared Library doesn't have CustomXTopMember or EnableCustomXAggregation Properties

We are upgrading from 11.1.2.1 to 11.1.2.3.500. We use the Shared Library for our HFM application. In 11.1.2.3.500, there are no options for EnableCustomXTopMember or EnableCustomXAggregation (where X is the number of the Custom dimension IE Custom 1, Custom 2, Custom 3, Custom 4).
In the local account dimension in the new version, it does have these properties.
In the shared account dimension in the old version, it does have these properties.
In the shared account dimension in the new version, it does not have these properties.
In the new version, I had to copy the account dimension from the application to get the Dimension Associations to create in the Shared Library, but even with the Dimension Associations created, we still do not see the properties in the Shared Library.
We do have our Custom dimensions setup in the Shared Library.
We have tried importing via LCM and Import Profiles, but LCM gives us errors and warnings that it cannot associate the property with the dimension:
"There was a error processing the dimension association for the base dimension 'Account', target dimension 'Custom1'; please make sure that the target dimension exist or is included in the dimension section of the import source. Member properties for this association will not be processed."
Any ideas on why the properties do not exist in the Shared Library and will not import or copy into the Shared Library in 11.1.2.3.500?
Here are some screenshots:
Thanks,

Hi Steve,
I have encountered the same problem too.
As a workaround, start creating a dummy application with the shared dimensions of the new version. This will create the associations. After that, you can delete the application.

Shared Library Doesn't Come Up in Source

Basically, it's just not there. I'm in Halls of Residence, and I know that all my mates have their shared libraies working fine. But I've ticked "look for shared music" and "share my library".. But it just doesn't come up! And my library isn't coming up on any of their machines either.
Also, my iTunes seems to lag. Say I haven't got it as the top window, and it goes through a couple of songs. I go back to iTunes, and the speaker thing, which shows on the playlist which song it's playing hasn't moved from the last time iTunes was on top.
It's really messed up, I dunno what's wrong with it. Could it just be my computer? Or is there something wrong with my iTunes? I just downloaded the new version yesterday as well..?:(
Somebody pleeeease help me!

If you're the only one running iTunes 5.0, that would do it. They need to be upgraded too.

Linked objects in shared library doesn't work

Hello.
I have a linked Smart Object in my library and I'd like to share that library with my colleague. Well, I've shared the library, my colleague is able to use it's content in his Photoshop, but all linked Smart Objects are marked as broken (red sign).
That's seems to be right, because there are no original psb-files on colleague's PC (they are stored in my Google Drive). But it makes libraries almost useless for collaboration.
So, is there a way to share linked Smart Objects? It seems that storing them in CC folder won't do much to help - I still can share files, not the library.
Thanks.

IPod library doesn't display on computer

Hi,
When I plug in my iPod now, I get a summary but I can't see the contents of the iPod. I use windows, is there anything that I need to do differently?
Thank you.

Click on the triangle next to the iPod in the source pane until it points downward.
Then click on music. There's your iPod library.

FCP X doesn't display iMovie clips correctly in Event Library

I have 10 years of clips that are setup by year/date in iMovie. Although I had imported most of the media in 2009, iMovie seems smart enough to read the actual file metadata and find the media recording date, which is prior to the import date. As a result, the clips are diplayed correctly in iMovie Event by Year/Month of actual recording.
However, the Event Library in FCP X doesn't do that at all and lists the events by "Content Creation" date, which is simply reads from the system file date, and NOT the recording date that is embedded into the file.
Bottom line is that Event Library is semi-useless as it doesn't all at display my clisp in the correct order, unlike iMovie that was doing it correctly.
Any ideas?

I went into Finder and discovered that FCP X created a directory structure where the files are in the correct Year/Month directory structure (as an exact mirror directory structure as the iMovie one), so it's even more weird that the Event Library doesn't display the events correctly???

I have Windows 7 main library, iMac with additional library and Apple TV that I want to use home sharing, but windows library doesn't show as a computer on Apple TV.

I have music and movie library on an external drive connected to a Windows 7 machine. I also have home movies and other content on an iMac that I use. I want to turn on home sharing for both and connect them to Apple TV for display, music and podcast. They are all on the same wifi home network, but the Windows library doesn't show up on the ATV device.
I turned off all Windows firewall and I tried to configure port forwarding, but that didn't help.
I will say that this did work at some point, so a patch or an update, or some configuration change has caused it to stop workin at some point in the past six months to a year.

When logging into iCloud in Safari, Calendar doesn't display any events. They are displayed on the iPad, iPhone on even the iCal. What is wrong ?

When logging into iCloud in Safari, Calendar doesn't display any events. They are displayed on the iPad, iPhone on even the iCal. What is wrong ?

:S,
Sorry, missed that fact. My memory is good, but short.
Try moving the "Calendar Cache" file to your Desktop. Quit iCal, and find the "Calendar Cache" file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars. Move that file to your Desktop. After that, (I remember that I recommended this before), as long as you are moving files to the Desktop, repeat the plist removal procedure once again, log out/in or restart.
You should also consider removing the "To Do's" from Mail before restarting iCal. When you open iCal turn off "Show Birthdays calendar" in iCal>Preferences...>General.
Are you syncing any data? If so, what method(s) are you using?
;~)

IPhoto 9.6 doesn´t display any pictures from library, upgraded

iPhoto 9.6 doesn´t display any pictures from library. I have upgraded from an old iPhoto. I upgraded the Library also.
Everything is inside the Library I can see but when I run iPhoto I get only a yellow note on the screen and no pictures?

Everything is inside the Library I can see
Do you mean by looking into the library using the Finder?
but when I run iPhoto I get only a yellow note on the screen and no pictures?
Then iPhoto has probably opened a new, empty library, because it could not find or access your iPhoto library. What happens, whiny double-click the Library to open it directly?
Where is your iPhoto library stored? Is it in the Pictures folder or on an external drive?

I cannot access Content Library in iMovie - Content Library doesn't show on the iMovie screen and is greyed out when accessed through "windows" tab at the top. Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question).

I cannot access Content Library in iMovie - Content Library doesn't show on the iMovie screen and is greyed out when accessed through "windows" tab at the top. Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question). I haven't had this issue before, I have always used the content library on the screen but haven't used this for about a month. How can I make the Content Library available?

Thanks so much! I am backing up the entire computer now with an external hard drive - this should be fine right? And surely if I am backing up the whole computer these projects/videos will be backed up too? I wasn't sure how to do this any other way and I am clearly not great with tech issues. Once this is done and I am sure my projects/videos are safe I will do the delete and reinstall bit. Thanks for taking the time to help

Bugs in IOS7. My iPad3 doesn't connect to my shared library at home

I think this has to be a bug because with IOS7 my iPad doesn't connect to my shared library. It worked very well with IOS6.
I have also discovered that I have no keyboard when I look for a contact!. Is that also a bug?
Thank you for your help
Best Regards.
Juan Pedro

Try going to [Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings] Once that is done, connect to your wifi router.
