Sharing issues

We have 1 pc, 2 PC different logins and 2 ipods. I have the itunes folders in a "public" folfer..accessible to both of us (I think). When my husband adds a cd via his pc login, it does not show on mine. And my downloads from itumes do not show on his. Help!

Kappy, this is helpful and I'm making progress but still not there yet. I've reviewed the articles you suggested but have not found the answer there yet. Can you walk thru the following points for me?
"In order to connect to the "server" (THE COMPUTER I WANT TO ACCESS) from the "client" (THE COMPUTER I'M WORKING FROM) you must log in to the "server" machine. This is done when you use the Connect to Server option of the Finder's Go menu. (THIS IS NEW TO ME) Click on the Browse button to locate the "server." (GOOD) When you then make your first attempt to access the "server" you are prompted to log in either as Guest or Registered user. (THERE WAS NO PROMPTING. I CAN SEE THE FOLDERS BUT THEY HAVE A "NO ACCESS" LOGO ON THEM. I WENT TO COMMAND-I AND TRIED TO ACCESS THAT WAY. IT SAY UNDER SHARING - "EVERYONE - NO ACCESS". WHEN I CLICK THE "+" IT ASKS FOR THE NAME OF THE USER OR GROUP TO ADD. I PUT IN THE NAME OF THE NEW ACCOUNT I CREATED ON THE LAPTOP (SERVER I AM TRYING TO ACCESS) AND I ALSO PUT ON THE ADMINISTRATOR NAME THAT I FOUND ON THE LAPTOP WHEN I ORIGINALLY SET IT UP. NEITHER OF THESE WORK. THE ERROR SAYS "THE NAME YOU ENTERED IS INVALID". I'VE TRIED EVERY COMBINATION, PASSWORD, USERNAME UPPER LOWER CASE COMBO I CAN IMAGINE. THIS IS WHERE THE PROCESS BREAKS DOWN.)
ANY HELP AT THIS POINT?
For full access to the "server" you want to log in as a Registered user. To do that you must have a valid (WHAT'S VALID - I SET UP A NEW ACCOUNT) user account on the "server." This could be the existing admin account on the "server" or it could be a separate account you've created on the "server" for the "client" to log into. The latter would be preferred if the "client" user isn't you - and the account should be configured as a standard or restricted account. (I'VE GOT BOTH BUT NEITHER SEEM TO WORK) APPRECIATE ANY ASSISTANCE. CRAIG
Your username and password are those associated with your admin account.

Crystal Report Application Sharing Issue

We are receiving the following error message when trying to open up Crystal Reports from within our application.
Unable to load Crystal Report user function dll:
e:\Program Files\Centricity Practice Solution 90\Client\mlcrwlib2.dll.
The report may not run correctly.
Here is an explanation of our current environment:
We are utilizing Crystal Reports XI R2 SP6 using the ActiveX Designer control, craxddrt.dll, to open up Crystal Reports within a Visual Basic project. I did not see a VB forum so I'm posting here in .NET.
We are including the 4 Crystal Merge Modules in our InstallShield Project when installing our application so we feel we are installing correctly, but there appears to be a Crystal Reports sharing issue with another application. When we attempt to open up our Crystal Reports from within the application, we get the error message above. If we click OK to the error message our report opens. I would like to eliminate the error message, but I'm not sure why we are even calling the file in the error above.
I'm assuming that the other application has created a user function or something that is registered within Crystal Reports, but we do not have access to or cannot load it. We have not been able to reach anyone from the other software application company to ask questions so I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction as to what is going on here.
I have verified that the Business Objects folder was created with the run-time files needed to run Crystal Reports. I also see a previous version of Crystal Reports run-time files on this server since a Crystal Report folder exists. I have utilized Process Monitor to see that the correct craxddrt.dll is being opened, but I cannot figure out how the file in the error message above is being called.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Marlon,
I worked on a Centricity (GE Medical) issue with the Report Designer Component (RDC) a number of months ago. As part of my troubleshooting I discovered that their application uses an atypical deployment of the Crystal runtime files for their Centricity application. The "short" version is that the way they implemented the RDC would not have been supported by SAP Support.
I was never able to resolve the Centricity issue, but proved that their implementation of the RDC was the root cause of the issue. The mlcrwlib2.dll is a Centricity DLL that seems to control how/where the craxdrt.dll / craxddrt.dll file is loaded (location A in one work stream in their application, location B in another work stream in their application).
One of the side effects of this DLL is that it "took over" how the craxdrt.dll would load for any other application that also used the RDC (craxdrt.dll / craxddrt.dll). I proved the issue by sending them a simple sample application that was written in CPP. Using CPP allowed us to eliminate the need to reference any other dependencies besides the Crystal runtime files. This sample application consistently failed with a reference to their mlcrwlib2.dll - which I knew wasn't referenced in my CPP sample. At the time Centricity wasn't able to explain why their mlcrwlib2.dll was being picked up by my sample. I expect that their issue would be resolved once they discovered why mlcrwlib2.dll loaded erroneously, but they were still working on the answer to that question.
Because we couldn't determine how and why the mlcrwlib2.dll was behaving as it did I'd suggest not trying to use a "side by side" installation of another RDC application. I know it's not much of an answer, but it might help explain why all the regular troubleshooting steps aren't working for you.
Sincerely,
Dan Kelleher

Apple TV Home Sharing Issue (SOLVED for me)

I had been having problems with Home Sharing while other functions (Netflix etc) worked fine. My setup is wireless using Time Capsule. My network was "open" (password not needed). I had tried everything from recycling my DSL modem and Time Capsule and turning Home Sharing off and on (on my computer and the Apple TV) without success.
My Time Capsule has the ability to connect at 5GHz or 2.4GHz. Additionally, my networks may or may not be password protected. I finally changed to a network that required a password and my Home Shareing issue ended. Since that network change everything works fine.

I was going crazy trying to play music from my Itunes library and watch slideshows of my photos as, once started, the application would quit within a minute of starting. I called Apple Support and tried everything they sughgested - restart, restore etc. Finally, I turned my router off and let it reset. When I turned it back on. everything worked. I could have saved a lot of aggravation had I been instructed to do so originally.

Potential Solution: Home Sharing issues with iTunes 10.6

TL;DR: On a hunch, I changed the power settings of the ATV to never sleep. Since then, I have not had any issues. Granted, it's only been a couple of days, but it seems to have done the trick.
Folks,
Wanted to share my experience with Home Sharing issues after upgrading to iTunes 10.6. These forums a rampant with reports of the issue, so I'll defer to the search field above if you don't know what I am talking about. In short: iTunes 10.6 seems to have busted Home Sharing.
For those who do, here's what I found:
For some reason, is saw a very large number of established sessions from my Apple TV (ATV) into port 3689 on my Mac. This is the port that ATV uses to query iTunes to see what's available via Home Sharing (e.g.: what movies, songs, pictures, etc are available for display on the ATV).
A sniffer cap and some observation of the power indicator on the ATV indicated that while it was sleeping, the ATV was querying iTunes. It would power on for a sec (wake on LAN, maybe?), issue some queries, then sleep.
When this happened, the TCP sessions created were never town down. As such, I would eventually see 200+ established sessions on port 3689. I don't know exactly how many it took to make this happen, but when I saw this, iTunes stopped accepting new connections.
Of course, bouncing iTunes would remedy the issue for a while, but it would return.
On a hunch, I changed the power settings of the ATV to never sleep. Since then, I have not had any issues. Granted, it's only been a couple of days, but it seems to have done the trick.
I would be interested to hear if it works for others.
Happy viewing,
Chris

Thanks for posting this.
I've been searching for an option of how to approach this problem.
I picked up the new AppleTV when it was released, but it has made iTunes fairly useless from a Home Sharing standpoint.
I also observed the massive number of TCP connections being opened against iTunes, but never closed.
As expected, I could manually kill a few of these connections, and then could connect again, even without closing iTunes.
I performed most of my testing with Windows 7, but while troubleshooting I had the same issue with iTunes on an old Mac Mini I had sitting around.
I will try your solution, which makes a lot of sense, but it would be nice if Apple fixed the real problem.
Thanks again.

Outlook sharing issues

I have 2 users with Outlook 2013. One is trying to send a shared task to the other. Other people in the department are able to view it with no issue. When the user receives the invite it says: "This sharing message is not valid. All action buttons have
been disabled." Then below: (Sender not verified) Microsoft exchange tasks. I've been googling the error for a way to resolve this and I can't seem to find a compatible answer. This also happened with 2 other users involving sharing a calendar, they were
finally able to share but only through another user's computer. I'm sure there must be a setting somewhere that needs to be changed, but I don't know where.

Hi,
According to your description, I understand that there is a Task sharing issue between two specific users. But the task can be shared in another user’s computer.
If so, the issue should be related to the Outlook profile in the problematic user’s computer. Please create a new Outlook profile to check whether the issue persists:

If it doesn’t work, restart Outlook in safe mode (Start > Run >type “Outlook /safe”> Enter) to have a try.

I am having major Home Sharing issues (disrupting WiFi)

Have done a lot of research on the particular issues Im having and can only find discussions on problems slightly tangential to mine.
Beginning about a week ago whenever I would use home sharing on my iPad or iPhone (streaming through my Mac Pro desktop an an Airport Extreme) the file I would be playing would pause erratically and then start up again. It would get really bad if I listened to one of the larger files (I download radio show podcasts) and try to jump to the middle of the program - every time the file would just pause and not play and then jump to the next file on the playlist and just hang.
Furthermore, it totally screws up my WiFi....I would have to reset my extreme to get the signal to stop behaving erratically. I read through tons of posts and tried earlier versions of airport software, resetting my wifi settings, reste my router etc...but all to no avail.
Im a little surprised that Im the only one having this issue since it seems so basic....I turn on home sharing, start using it and bam -- all these wifi issues just start happening.
Anyone able to point me in the right direction for a solution? Because it is driving me crazy....

you could be suffering from wireless interference.
perhaps one of your neighbor's wireless networks is interfering with yours. download iStumbler and note the channels other networks in the vicinity are broadcasting on.
change the channel your network is using as far away as possible from those.

Partial home sharing issue between 3 devices...

i have an old mac computer, an iPad and new macbook pro. I activated home sharing but only the music from my old computer is on the new one, so everything i bought on my iPad recently is not shared. How can I update a central library and access my ipad and old computer music so I can share all on each device?

ITunes 7 - 2 user accounts 1 music folder sharing issues

I just downloaded iTunes 7 this afternoon. I imported some music from my CDs into my account. My wife and I have a shared music folder. I then logged onto my wifes account and added the music to her library. Her accound moved the music files from the original folder to an Unknown Artist folder losing the file information. Does anyone know why this is happening?
I apologize if this is topic has already been posted.

If you have a folder on the hard drive called anything you want (Shared Files for example) and leave it in the root directory, anyone should be able to access it. If one of the user accounts doesn't have administrator access, writing to that folder may be an issue.
To fix this, control-click (right click) and select get info. Go to the permissions tab. Use the little arrow next to 'Details' to make sure it shows the details. Select the group 'everyone' and allow them to 'Read and Write'. Click on the checkbox 'Apply to enclosed items'. You'll need to do it from an administrator account.
Should sort you out.

Home Sharing issues with Windows PCs

I've had an Apple TV2 for over a year. It has been working fine with no issues at all. I use an old laptop running WinXP as my "media server" and it has worked fine up until the last few of months.
Progressively, over the last 2-4 months it has become less reliable when trying to access content on iTunes on it. The laptop itself has otherwise been reliable. It is just the Apple TV talking to it that has been not. Sometimes it works fine, other times as I go through the menus I get 'Loading "library"...' for up to a couple of minutes and it then drops out.
The first time it started becoming unreliable was shortly after a Windows Update. I rolled back the update with System Restore and it went back to working well. I didn't have another problem until I applied the latest set of Windows Updates (a month or so later, hoping the issues had been fixed). Again, it broke, so I rolled back. Last week after it has been running well, Windows crashed and when it recovered AppleTV/iTunes wasn't working again. I tried applying Windows Updates again. No luck. I rolled back to before the crash. No luck. I tried updating to iTunes 10.6. No luck. I uninstalled iTunes (and all the other Apple software) and reinstalled. It was still flakey. Disabling the firewall makes no difference.
I then blew the whole machine away, restored to factory configuration, and installed iTunes again. It is still unreliable.
I have MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.6. It works with the Apple TV with no problems at all. All my content plays fine. So I don't believe it is my Apple TV or the network. (All three devices, Apple TV, MBP and Windows laptop are on a wired Ethernet network 100Mbps.)
I just installed iTunes on my Acer Netbook which is running Windows 7 Starter and it has the same unreliability issues as the laptop.
These seems to suggest it is an iTunes/Windows problem – but why am I the only one?
I should add that I can play some content on the Apple TV from either the laptop or the netbook. It might work the first time, even the second time but eventually it just fails. For example, last night we started to watch something on the Apple TV from the library on the WinXP laptop. It played fine for the first 4 minutes and then it just dropped out.
It doesn't matter what content I try. Sometime music works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes iTunes purchased TV shows or movies work, sometimes they don't. Sometimes home made content (FCP X) works, sometimes it doesn't.
Additionally, the laptop and netbook show up in the SHARED area of iTunes on the MBP. I see similar results form there. I can sometimes connect to the laptop or netbook and play content but eventually it fails and the device disappears from SHARED. It eventually comes back, though.
Interestingly, iTunes on the laptop and the netbook don't show any other SHARED devices, even though I have "Share Libraries" ticked in preferences on all three. I also don't see the Apple TV sharing icon on iTunes on the laptop or netbook but I do see it on the MBP (and my iPod and iPad).
I also have a Windows 7 64-bit laptop and I installed 64-bit iTunes 10.6 on it, but I can't even log into the iTunes store form it (unknown error 0x80092013) which appears to be a common problem of late.
I have tried everything I can think of to get it working and am hoping someone might have some ideas on how to debug the issues.

Solved - at least all good so far.
I had to add rules to my firewall software (Symantec Endpoint Protection) for Bonjour (UDP 5353) and DAAP (TCP 3689). Once I did that, the other librares were shown in SHARING and the Apple TV reliably connects.
What I don't understand was why it worked at all without the rules in place.

Family Sharing Issue: Problem with child account not having access to parents purchases.

I created a family sharing network consisting of my me, my wife, and my 16 y/o son. I can see/download my wife's purchases and she can see/download my purchases. I can also see/download my sons purchases. My son can see my purchases, but when he attempts to download them he gets the error message "Unable to Download: To download shared content, your Family must have a valid payment method."
There is a valid payment method and the account and it was verified when sitting up my son's account for family sharing. I'd note that my son is the only one in the family that doesn't have a payment method associated with his personal account. However, I don't think that's anrequirement to set up family sharing.
Hopefully, this issue will be addressed quickly.

Ical sharing issue

I have an icloud account that i share calenders with my work collegues just fine, i wanted to share just my home calender with my wife, but there is where the issue starts. My home calender on my Imac is shared via a me.com icloud account. When i type my wifes me.com email address to share it does nothing, in so far as it sends her no invitation direct to her icloud calender or her email address via the share link. If however i send it to her itunes based address i.e a yahoo.co.uk address it goes through as a link on the email and via a browser she can see the shared calender, also after doing this its visable on her iphone 4S, however no matter how i change her settings its just does not come on to her mac. Both the iphone and macpro icloud is logged in under the me.com account not the itunes account so why would this be?
Its really making me scratch my head.
Just for info...both my ical and hers are running mountain lion and both iphones are updated to the latest iOS.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you checked her mail rules and filtering, the email may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted.

At a total loss on a file sharing issue

I have been using file sharing for years and have never had a problem. Tonight that streak has come to an end and I feel stupid!
I have built myself a PC for work. However, I want to be able to share files with my Mac on it. Here is my setup... On my Mac, I have a hard drive that I have made into 2 partitions. One partition is a FAT32 format, specifically so that I can share files with my PC. I have gone into file sharing and set it up so that drive will be shared with my PC. From my Mac, I can connect to the PC and the My Documents folder on it.
However, when I get on the PC I can not see my Mac unless I connect using the ftp://ip address format. Even then I do not see the drive I am trying to share. I see my Documents folder on my Mac, which is not what I want to share.
I have done searches on here as well as Google throughout the day and can not find anything that addresses this specific issue. Can anyone give me some things to look for? I am fried!

Home Sharing Issues iOS6

I'm having an issue it seems with Home Sharing on my iPhone 5 after recently upgrading to iOS6 v6.1.2. My network setup is as follows: I have a 1TB TimeCapsule which is my WiFi access point in addition to storing my iTunes library. My iMac is connected to the TC via Ethernet. Wirelessly I have two Windows-based laptops, ATV (2nd gen), an iPad2, a BlackBerry Torch, iPhone 4S and iPhone5. Until recently, all of my Apple devices were able to access my iTunes library over the WiFi using Home Sharing. As of now, only my ATV and iPad2 are able to. When I try to connect with the iPhones, I get an error stating "Cannot Connect to Media Library" about halfway through the connection attempt (little progress circle fills in halfway then stops). My version of iTunes is 11.0.2.
I have tried resetting everything on the entire network including my cable modem, the TimeCapsule (upgraded to latest firmware), even going so far as to do a restore on the iPhone 5 in an effort to get Home Sharing working again. Nothing I have tried has worked. I've siged out of Home Sharing on the iMac and all devices...rebooted...no change. The option to select my shared library is seen in the iPhone 5 but it just won't connect. This is extremely frustrating as I often have my iPhone streaming from my iTunes library while I'm in other areas of the house. For now I've resorted to using Pandora but would really like to have access to my music library.
Is anyone else having this or very similar issues? I see several posts about Home Sharing but most are older and don't seem specific to the iPhone 5 or iOS 6...regardless, the suggestions in any of those posts didn't solve the problem either.

I am having the same issue. Same hardware, same OS, same circle stopping halfway through. When I do get it to connect it doesn't last forever. I ran an experiment and found that the connection drops when I try to use my bluetooth speaker. If I am streaming from Pandora the connection is fine, no drop. But apparently it doesn't play nice with the shared library connection? Does bluetooth interfere with wifi?

Home Sharing issues with iPhone 6 Plus

Hi guys,
I'm having problems with streaming music and video on my iPhone 6 plus from my Macbook Pro (mid 2010 model) using iTunes' Home Sharing . I am able to stream without any issues using my iPhone 4S and my Apple TV, however.
I am using iTunes version 12.0.1.26, iOS 8.1.2, and OSX 10.9.5.
Using my 6 plus, I am able to connect to my iTunes library, both music and video. Album art shows up for music but no cover art for the videos. So, all in all, I am able to see the contents of my library.
However, when I try to play songs, a couple things may happen. First, nothing plays for about 10 seconds; then a second or two of the song plays followed by silence again, appearing as if it's buffering. Second thing that may happen is that a second or two plays immediately followed by silence. If I press next to play the next song, what usually happens is that nothing plays, although the song title does appear.
As seen in this video, I don't have any issues with my WIFI connection or internet speed, as demonstrated using the iPhone 4S and Apple TV.
I have no clue as to why this is happening.
Hopefully someone could shed some light with this issue. Please feel free to comment. I'm open to and appreciate any suggestions while Apple tries to find a solution. Thanks.

UPDATE
So, after working with the guys at Apple, they we were to provide a solution. Now I have no problems using Home Sharing with my iPhone 6 Plus!!!
(I should add that I have the Linksys Advanced Dual-Band N Router (E2500))
The issue was fixed by giving one of the wi-fi channels a different name, thus splitting the channels into 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Then, I connected my iPhone to one channel (2.4 GHz) and my MacBook Pro to the other channel (5GHz). In this configuration, I have had no issues streaming my music and video.
It seems that the problem is some kind of interference between both devices when using the same channel (i.e., when both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channel share the same name).

Itunes 12.0.1 home sharing issues

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone else was having problems with home sharing and iTunes 12.0.1?
My whole house pivots around home sharing, so this was a bit annoying when I couldn't get it to work after installing Yosemite and itunes 12.0.1. I have apple TV, iPhone 5 (iOS 8.1), iPhone 6 (iOS 8.2) and MacBook Air (OS X). First noticed this on my iphone 6 trying to play a song from the Mac and I couldn't see the library. I tried the iPhone 5, couldn't see it as well. But the apple TV I could see 2 libraries on my Mac (both the same name). Eventually after turning off and back on home sharing on the iPhones, nothing happened, I could use the remote app to change the TV. I could even see the Mac library on the phones but, it kept saying I couldn't get access to it.
I quit itunes. At this point I then lost the ability for Apple TV to gain access to my Mac's home sharing. Again 2 were being shown, and neither worked. iPhones still not working.
Then I did an AirPlay from the Mac to the TV and it sprung into life. TV works and both iPhones, I can see the shared folder in the More section in Music App, wasn't there before. Also can see the Shared folder in movies, which wasn't there before.
If there is a better way of getting this to work, it would be nice to know.

Lion server file sharing issue with windows API read/write ini file (GetPrivateProfileString)

Hello,
I try to config lion server as file server for a windows application we use at work. All other computers are windows 7 or XP, lion server is the only mac. I choose lion server because it's size, quality and personal love of apple products.
10.7.2 lion server's samba file sharing works almost perfectly with all my windows machines, I can copy, delete, modify any text files or office files without any issue, but the most important windows application for my business doesn't work with samba file sharing. After some digging, I found it is because windows program can't read or write INI file stored on lion share. Windows API GetPrivateProfileString always returns empty if the INI file is store on lion share.
You can download a small application for read/write windows INI file from codeproject.com to test this problem:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/files/ini.aspx
I can open/edit the in file using any text editor without any problem. The only problem is with those windows APIs. ACL is turned on for my lion share and assigned "delete" rights to samba users.
I install samba3 on the same server; it works perfectly with windows API. My windows program also works. Looks like there is something wrong with lion server's sambax.
I'd prefer to use built-in samba even I have samba3 working. Built-in samba is very immature right now, but considered how young it is, I will give apple some time to make it mature.
Does anyone have same issue or knows how to fix it?
Thanks,
Michael.

All the memory is fine. The server rarely if ever goes down when there are only around 10-12 users connected. When there are 20+ users connected and working heavily it goes down often. When I say working heavily, I mean they are transferring huge files to the SAN (100GB+), sometimes 5 at a time per user, and there are a bunch of others who are reading large video files at a minimum of 220MB/sec from the SAN.
Though this worked on Snow Leopard without any issues, Lion just doesn't seem to be able to handle it. The odd thing is, on Snow Leopard there was only a single 1GB ethernet connection to a NAS system, whereas with Lion we have a much more powerful machine with a 6-port 10GB ethernet card and a 4 lane 8GB fiber card to a true SAN. You would think that the newer scenario with Lion would handle far more users with ease.
So far, very disappointing with regards to Lion's file serving performance.
