Sharing music stops working after iTunes 6.0.3

I have a Maxtor network storage drive with a bunch of music on it. With iTunes 6.0.3, the server shows up automatically on my list of Playlists and I can play any of the music on the drive. No fuss, no muss, works brilliantly.
My wife upgraded her laptop to iTunes 6.0.4 and then to 6.0.5 and on HER machine, she can't play the music. The server still shows up on the list of Playlists, but clicking on it only gets a quick "barber pole" in iTunes and a message "Loading Server" that quickly goes away. The focus then immediately goes to Library.
If I double-click on the server playlist, I get a brief separate window, which then goes away, once again back to the main window, defaulting to the Library.
Sounds like Apple changed something after iTunes 6.0.3 that disallows connecting to the server...but iTunes can still SEE the server and put it in the playlists.
Any ideas how to fix this, short of downgrading everything to 6.0.3? Right now, I'm worried about losing this functionality for good if there's a new, needed update. I guess I'm hoping that maybe it's an incompatibility on some of the other machines?

I have exactly the same problem - never been able to get this to work. Maxtor NEVER replies to any support questions... So i guess I bought this thing - and it doesn't work - and Maxtor wont support it. please - if anyone has this working - post.
thanks

Itunes stops working after itunes match runs.

After I open Itunes and it does the Itunes Match it stops working. I have the most recent version, I have ran all the diagnostics I can on my end. Any clues? Extremely frustrated right now.

I'm going to ask the hosts to move this to the windows part of the iTunes part of this forum. YOu'll stand a better chance to get an answer there than you will here.

Win 7 Drag and Drop stopped working after iTunes update

I really hope that this is the right sub-forum for this.
Here goes:
A few days ago I finally upgraded to 9.1.1.12 and today I was in for a nasty surprise: I can't move MP3s from windows explorer into the iTunes window any more.
I often create playlists and then drag files I get from a few bands I follow directly into those playlists. This is an easy and painless process. My FTP client downloads the files into a prearranged folder whenever they get a new song up, and I then open said folder and drag and drop the file into iTunes.
I just got a new song to listen to today, wanted to drag it in an... Nothing. Just the black, crossed-through circle of "No".
It worked last week. It worked the week before. It worked the years before.
I got Win7 64 in April. It worked on it since then.
It stopped working today.
And no, I won't let iTunes consolidate or organize my media. It only organizes files bought via the iTunes store, nothing I rip from CDs or obtain otherwise, as those files have to be playable by two other players as well. But, again: Until this night it worked without a problem. And after the new update... Stopped.
Is there a new option I'm missing?

I was able to fix it.
I simply stopped running iTunes in Admin mode. For some reason, running it in administrator mode makes it behave "worse" than not doing so.
When I ran it as a normal program, I was able to drag files into it correctly again.
Which is weird, as the last version was also running in admin mode, but worked perfectly.

My 3rd party 30-pin adapter stopped working after iTunes update

Although I've been getting warning messages ever since my iPhone was updated to iOS7, I was still able to charge my phone with the 3rd party 30-pin to lightning adapter. But suddenly yesterday the adapter stopped working. the only thing I can think of was that I plugged in my iPhone 5 to iTunes to sync my music, and my PC updated my iTunes to v11.1.3.8. Can anybody offer any help as to how I can get my cable to work again?
Thanks,

That's because the adapter was produced illegally using stolen Apple patented technology. It does not have the proper authentication/DAC chip in it. Buy a legal 30-pin to lightning adapter.

TS1702 some of my music stopped working after i got a replacement phone.

Ever since i got my iphonne 4 replaced random songs stopped working and an error saying " could not locte original file" comes up. How can i fix this problem?

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

Apple wired keyboard stops working after iTunes sync

I have an imac running snow leopard. When I sync old ipad, iphone 3gs or iphone 4, the wired keyboard stops working. The only solution seems to be to turn the IMac off and turn on again. Have tried resetting permissions with no success. Any ideas?

Try resetting the NVRAM

Try another BK. Maybe a KB problem.
Try booting to Recovery and see if it works OK. Maybe a software problem with Yosemite

Internet sharing has stopped working after 10.8.2 upgrade

Hi. So, for the past year, I've been receiving WiFi internet on my iMac, and sharing it via ethernet and sometimes FW800. Lately, mostly just ethernet. As of 10.8.2, this has stopped functioning. I have heard many rumors about internet sharing issues in the update, but it seems I am in the extreme minority in terms of sharing internet via ethernet rather than sharing it via WiFi.
For the record, what I have tried so far is, enabling and disabling all options, trashing preferences, creating a second administrator account on the iMac and trying from that one, switching multiple ethernet cables just in case, and even switching to a different wireless network (we have two in my home on different wavelengths). It's always the same: devices recognize that they're connected to the ethernet port on the iMac. The iMac recognizes it's connected to them. They can obtain their own IP addresses through DHCP, but they cannot, under any circumstances, actually connect to the internet.
Please help! I'm tearing my hair out over here, as this was crucial to my setup. Updates shouldn't work this way.

As with other situations where a window is not visible, it is likely just off-screen where you can't see it. If your main "Final Cut Pro" window becomes inactive (close, minimize, and zoom buttons turn grey) when you attempt to open the "Background Tasks" window, this indicates that the window is definitely opened, it's just offscreen somewhere.
You can solve this problem by forcing FCPX to gather up all of its windows without having to delete your preferences:
1. Attempt to open the Background Tasks window in FCPX,
2. Switch to System Preferences->Displays and change your display resolution,
3. Switch back to FCPX and verify that you now have your missing window back,
4. Switch back to System Preferences and change your resolution back to its previous setting (likely the "Best for display" radio button).

DVD READER STOP WORKING AFTER ITUNES IS INSTALLED

FINNALLY GOT ITUNES AND QUICKTIME TO WORK BUT NOW MY COMPUTER WON'T RECONIZE MY DVD BURNER. IT DOES RECONIZE A USB EXTEROR BURNER. IF I UNINSTALL ITUNES AND QUICK TIME MY INTERNAL BURNER WORKS. PLEASE HELP

After reading this it looks like you can either use your optical drive in iTunes but not for anything else or if your change the Registry as the document implies you can use your drive on your computer but can't burn in iTunes. Hardly seems like a fix to me. Am I missing something here?

Home Sharing suddenly stopped working from iTunes

I've been running Home Sharing from iTunes so that I can watch movies on the Apple TV for months now without problems. Within the last week, I noticed that the two were no longer connecting despite the fact that both products indicate that Home Sharing is enabled. I came across a possible solution when I discovered that if I connect my desktop to my router using a wireless connection, I'm able to see my shared library on the ATV and my iPhone. Once I disable the wireless connection, going with a wired connection instead, the shared library is no longer accessible.
I'm running XP, iTunes 10.6.3 and using the router that came with my Verizon Fios service.
While I can use a wireless connection to use Home Sharing (for now), I'd prefer to switch back to a wired connection if possible. Anyone have any ideas whats wrong?

No. This has been an ongoing issue and restarting the the computer or the router has no effect. Reinstalling iTunes didn't help either.

USB hub and internet sharing stop working after sleep

Hi,
I have a relatively new Bluestork USB hub I purchased to connect multiple USB devices I have at the same time. It used to work correctly under Leopard, but now it stops working each time the computer wakes up from sleep. I have to restart the computer for it to start working again. Both link and power LEDs stay on, even when the hub is not recognized.
My second problem is related to internet sharing. It stops working after each sleep/wakeup cycle and the only way to make it work again is to restart the computer. It used to work correctly before Snow Leopard as well.
I have all the Mac updates installed.

Thanks Barry.
The hub is on its way to the manufacturer for after sales service...
But the issue with AirPort remains the same, even after resetting SMC.
Some clarification:
* It happens just after computer wakes up from sleep. Restarting solves the problem and the issue doesn't arise until computer goes standby again.
* The whole WiFi card becomes unresponsive. It is not only the Turn Off button, but the whole functionality is stopped. The card can not be activated/deactivated and it doesn't connect to any network. If it is used for internet sharing, clients are unable to connect.

Home sharing no longer works after up-dating

After the last up-date several weeks ago, Home Sharing has stopped working. Have tried re-booting WiFi server, Reset and Restore Apple TV, re-loaded iTunes and nothing works. Any suggestions ?

I had this problem and do have have this same problem every time iTunes updates. What works for me is this.
1: reset windows fire wall to default which removes all apple software for the list of allowed programs. 2: go to programs and features on the control panel, select bonjour and click the repair button to reinstall it. 3: restart your pc. 4: once up and running go back to your firewall and re ad all apple programs(iTunes bonjour iCloud etc.)to the allowed list for your private home network. Exit out and open iTunes. I did this this morning and every part of home sharing is now working flawlessly for me across all devices.
