Shared Tab Gone

As of yesterday, the "Shared" tab has disappeared in Finder - the items are there in preferences and are ticked, file and web sharing is enabled and I spent 4 hours with support failing to restore it - even did a reinstall from the DVD. I was able to see my 3 other Win 7 computers before under this tab - but the tab has gone! I see some similar threads in 2008 with Leopard. The network is pingable and I can use network printers and scanners and "sync" with my Windows PC calendars - but no "Shared" item on the sidebar in Finder - strange - any thoughts? Bonjour was installed on the Windows PCs yesterday - after speaking to support - no help. Also got MS Office 2008 installed. Has Apple sent out an upgrade that disappears this?

See my post here, which has links to several other similar posts:

I wonder how long Apple will ignore this? Isn't connecting harmoniously with Windows supposed to be one of Macs selling points!?

NFS Sharing Tab is not found..NFS sharing provisioning fails with error....NFS sharing using command fails in windows 2008 r2

Hi All,
Operating System: Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1
H/w: VMware virtual machine vmx 09
Installed: File server role with "Services for network file system"

But when I try to create an NFS share using the folder properties the NFS Sharing tab is missing.
I tried to provision an NFS share using server manager "New NFS share folder cannot be created"
Noticed Event ID 1015 from NFSserver " Server for NFS was unable to validate licensing information at this time, the server will be nonfunctional until this information can be validated"
Tried to create the NFS share using command line but that too failed.
Request all to kindly assist me in isolating and fixing this issue.
Thank you so much

NFS server is so weak (especially for 2008 R2) and keeping in mind you run that all hosted by VMware ESXi the best thing you can do is to get rid of using Windows as a NFS server completely and spawn a FreeBSD or Linux VM with a decent and recent version
of Samba.

I then found one suggestion that the problem might involve permissions. The suggestion was to right click PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe in its installation folder (which on my computer is at at D:\Photo\Elements 11 Organizer) and run Organizer as an administrator. This also failed.
I don't understand why running the exe from the installation folder would have worked.
I would have simply tried to run that exe from its real location :
Sorry, I can't help you more about permissions...

Have turned Home sharing on in "File", but if I try choose the sharing tab in "Edit", "Preferences", It says Bonjour needs to be activated. Where do I do this?

I'm trying to share my libraries on different PCs. I have turned Home sharing on in "File", but if I try choose the sharing tab in "Edit", "Preferences", It says Bonjour needs to be activated. Where do I do this?

Try updating iTunes on your PC. Hopefully it'll re-install or fix the Bonjour issue.

Where has the File Sharing page gone to in iTunes 11?

Also switch of iTunes and Computer and the switch back on.
Never know it might help certainly wouldn't hurt

Why is the "Partition" tab gone from my Disk Utility???

Why is the "Partition" tab gone from my Disk Utility? How do I partition a disk?

1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc One if you are trying to partition your startup drive and after the installer loads select your language then click on the Continue button. After the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
If you are trying to partition an external drive or a non-startup drive then simply open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

File Sharing tab not working?

Hi,
I am having a problem with iTunes and my iPad today: I have a couple of apps that allow sharing of content, such as iMockups, Pages, VLC, etc.
I wanted to add a video to VLC by using the file sharing tab and adding the video either by the "add..." button or just dragging it into the screen (like I did before), but nothing happened. In fact, nothing at all is showing on the right hand side for ANY app!
So I disconnected the iPad and looked at the apps, and all three apps I tested (Pages, VLC and iMockups) have their respective files still there, so they were not lost or anything.
So I went and reconnected the iPad, and for the time the iPad synchs with iTunes I can see all files! But once the synch completes I cannot?!
Has anyone come across this before? Is there a fix for that?
Thanks for your time
Alex

The issue has been resolved, turned out to be a bad backup of the iPad. Restoring it to a different backup fixed it.

No sharing tab:

can you help. On my PC running windows 7 I have the 'SHARING' tab in itunes but it does not show up on my mac. I have the latest update to itunes and I have sharing in itunes and under system preferences turned on. can anyone help?

i understand this is an old post, but i recently had the same problem, so thought i would share how i fixed it for future reference. Once i made sure i had it set up right (turned on in preferences etc) and the sharing tab was still hidden, i went in itunes to advanced>turn off home sharing(my email address). then turned it back on again, input my user details and BOOM it reappearered. Hope this helps someone!

Home sharing section gone from side bar

when I activate home sharing and sign in to my icloud account the home sharing tab from the sidebar disappears. I am still able to share to a certain extent but I am not able to completely browse all my libary from other devices like I could previously, this happend after performing a fresh install of ML 10.8.4 and problem persists after updating to 10.8.5.

Have you tried rebuilding your iTunes library.

The 'Shared' tab disappeared from my sidebar

That's basically it - the 'shared' tab [which should be impossible to remove] disappeared from the sidebar. According to Finder preferences it should still be there.
Also the Network icon [globe] will not let me connect to any other computers/servers on my network [doesn't even show them anymore]. At first the old G4 could still connect to the iMac running Leopard, but even that stopped now.
Internet works OK, though.
How to get 'Shared' back ?

Assuming you don't have the button on the top left that says Inbox, a force quit out of Mail may work but I think you should reset your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

The Shared tab in Photos is empty

The Shared tab in the Photos app is empty for me. (Well, it has a "Start Sharing" button. When I click it, I am invited to create an album, although that doesn't actually do anything.) The shared iCloud streams I have that are visible on my iPhone and iPad, and that are visible on my family's devices, are not visible in the new Photos app. Anyone else having this problem?

Your screenshot is for setting up the library to share.
The next step is to select the photos for sharing and click on the Share button and select iCloud Photo Sharing:
Click on a new shared album or an existing one.
Now give the shared stream a name and either make it public or add email addresses for a private shared stream:
After clicking on the Create button go to the Shared section in the left hand pane of Photo and select the shared stream you just created:

After updating to 4.2.1 and restore backup... apps,ipod info, sync tab gone

I decided to resync from a PC in work. I managed to set it up as a new phone and put on some podcasts no problem. So maybe the problem is with my itunes on my home PC ?
I might try to re-install it at home.
Good idea, but be aware that all media content will be erased again because you're syncing to a different iTunes library.
If you have things to keep, back up manually by right clicking on the phone in the device list and choosing "backup".
Make sure to have at least one contact and event set up on your PC to be able to merge your data during the first sync.
Purchases can be transferred by right clicking and choosing "transfer purchases" without the sync process.

Seen this tech note?
iTunes: Understanding Home Sharing - Support - Apple

Shared tab has vanished

The shared tab in my iTunes has completely disappeared and I have no idea how to get it back.
To clarify the shared tab being referred to is the section in the left menu under which shared libraries appear as seen highlighted here: http://www.mactalk.com.au/articles/lacieethernet_disk/itunesshared.jpg
Also of note, the shared tab in my finder windows has also disappeared.
http://www.metzener.com/switcherblog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/desktop-finder-w indow.png
Devices, Places, and Search For are the only tabs that show up there right now.
I'm on my college's network and used to be able to see around 15 shared iTunes libraries and 40 shared computers at any given time. The shared tabs disappeared from my computer a couple of days ago. I don't recall changing any settings on the computer at that time and have also tried restarting iTunes as well as the computer to no avail.

Just to be on the safe side, grab your restore disk and check the boot disk for errors ...
Restart the Mac while holding down the C key, pressing the power button and inserting your restore disk all at the same time. An Installer window will open, but do not proceed with any installations. Instead, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities > Disk Utility. In the Disk Utility window click First Aid, and then click Verify. If Disk Utility reports errors, click Repair. When Disk Utility is finished, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Disk. Select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.
