Some music files are not be shared using Home Sharing

Has anyone had the problem of being on Home Share and not all music files, audiobooks and podcasts are being shared with my other computer?  None of my playlists are being shared either.  Please, I need help.

    Cyndi6858, help is here! We'd be happy to help figure this out. Just to be sure though, the Droid Maxx should not have an SD card. Is this the Droid Razr Maxx? How did you add the music to the device? Are you able to see the files and folders located on the SD card or device when plugged in?

  • How to transfer music from iPhone to iPhone when music files are not on computer?

    Dear all,
    I'm having trouble trying to transfer music from one iPhone to another (iPhone 4 to 5s if it matters), when the music files are NOT on my Macbook Pro, which as far as I understand prevents me from transferring music using the iTunes library sync method.
    Is there a way to do this? Like transferring the files to the Macbook Pro first?
    Many thanks in advance.

  • Accessing music files on external hard drives with Home Sharing

    I use my iMac as a computer and music server.  I have it connected via USB and SPDIF to my audio system, and access my music files with the Remote app on my iPhone.  It works fine except when the Remote app occasionally wants to take a brief break.  The problem is that I have a LOT of high-res music files, and my IMac's hard drive is filling up and slowing the processor down.  Is there a way to access music files located on external hard drives (I have two) AND the files located on my iMac using Home Sharing and the Remote app on my iPhone.  I'd like to move some of the files off of the iMac's HD to free up space.  Thanks.

    The best thing to do is to get an external drive that is large enough
    and has sufficient room for growth and move your entire iTunes
    folder to it.
    Then start iTunes holding down the option key and when the dialog
    box comes up, select choose library and navigate to the new iTunes
    folder location.
    This way, nothing will be lost, confused, or otherwise messed up since
    the entire library will be intact.

  • Some PDF files are not displayed in Bridge

    Hello,
    here is the problem: I use Adobe Bridge CS2 to browse my large collection of PDF files, and unfortunately some files are not displayed in the Filmstrip View mode; instead a generic icon is shown (bridge1.png). Most PDF files, however, are displayed correctly (bridge2.png). Is this the problem of Bridge or of certain PDF files, and how should I fix them to make them being displayed by Bridge?
    Thanks.

    In fact, all files have similar type of content (research papers). However, I found out that all files which are not displayed are "protected" by the publisher such that they only can be viewed and printed, but not modified or disassembled. Apparently, this causes the problem with Bridge not displaying them. It's a pity that Bridge cannot handle them...
    Thanks for the help, though.

  • Music files are not opening in itunes.

    Hi
    My music files will not open in itunes and is not recognised in the library. I have the files in the 'My Music' file however when looking at the music file it say the file is locked? is there anyway I can get my itunes to recognise the music files?

    I finally removed those audio and video files from iPhone, although it will be tough to add them back to iPhone, but at least I saved the phone spaces.
    I used software something like iTools, delete everything under File System / User / iTunes Control, then restart phone, that simple, usage count, spaces used are all correct now.

  • Unable to drag and drop mp4 movies into itunes but the file will import and play using home sharing

    Strange problem with my brothers MacBook.
    The movie files were converted to mp4 format ready to be played on an iphone and I imported them into my iTunes on an iMac with no problems.
    Files were also saved onto a flash drive which I passed on to my brother.
    My brother was unable to import files by drag and drop and also by "add to library", we even copied and pasted files from the flash drive to the desktop but that also didn't work.
    Using "home sharing the movies imported and played with no problems.
    Any ideas why this is happening?

    This appears to be a long-standing bug:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634720
    and the accepted workaround is stated in comment 11.
    Oddly, it's possible to do the reverse, i.e. drag multiple eml files from Explorer to a TB folder.

  • Art work not matching when using home sharing on ipad

    it seems as of recently the video art work is not matching when i use home sharing on my ipad 2. i seemed to notice this about a week ago, up till then the art work matched. the art work is correct on my apple tv 2. it seems to be an ipad issue. i have tried resetting the ipad but all that does is shuffle the art work around again.
    any idea as to how to fix this? many thanks in advance.

    I figured out my own problem. Thanks dmule you're a genius. All I had to do was turn off home sharing on my iPad and then turn it back on. Now all the video art work matches their proper movies.

  • After recent Verizon upgrade, my music files are messed up.  Used to be able to see all artists.  Now only some artists display and there's one giant file of "unkown".  Why would that change affter the upgrade?

    Prior to March, 2015 upgrade, all my music appeared by Artist.  After the March, 2015, upgrade, about half of my music appears by Artist and then there's one giant "unknown" file.  Why would this change with the upgrade?  Makes my music unsearchable unless I want to search by the song name or album name. 

    You can try an app like Album Art in the Play Store and it will take any tag info and find and sort music.  Should work unless the music files were altered during update, in that case you'd need to remove those files and re-add them to the phone.

  • When importing files from desktop to laptop using home sharing, files fail to copy "An unexpected error occured (-50)"

    So I'm trying to copy my library from my desktop computer to my laptop. I'm using the import feature when browsing the other library through Home Sharing. Some files wil copy, anywhere from 6-150 songs then it will fail. I have 6000 songs to copy, so I really don't want to babysit my way through this. I'm having to use my wireless network (no external drive available), but it is pretty sturdy. It hasn't been giving me any grief to stream the music, just to copy Is there any fix for this?

    The following comes from the LaCie web site but is applicable to any other external drives whether home brew or commercial.
    Getting error -50 when copying data in OS X.
    Some drives ship out formatted FAT32 so they will be ready to use on either a Mac or a PC. If you are getting error -50 when copying to a drive formatted for PC, it is because of the following:
    Certain characters that can be used in a Mac OS X filename are not allowed in MS-DOS filenames. This can prevent the file from being copied, and can occur when a filename contains non-printing ASCII characters, or any of these characters: ? / \ < > " | > *.
    Either copy the data off of the drive and use Apple's Disk Utility to erase the drive in Mac OS Extended format, or change the filenames of the documents that cannot be copied.

  • Unable to copy music from Mac to Windows PC using Home Sharing on iTunes 12

    Hi all,
    I use both a Macbook Pro and a Windows PC.  I am trying to copy music from my Macbook Pro onto my PC within iTunes 12 using HomeSharing but seem to be unable to do this.
    When I connect to the Mac library on the PC, I can play the tracks without any issue.  But when I try to drag the song to the side to copy to the PC , nothing happens.  I don't get the window that should pop up on the left of the screen and there is no option for Import at the bottom of the screen either.
    I am however able to copy music from the PC to the Mac without an issue.  The window pops up on the left when I drag the track within my Mac, and the Import button shows up on the bottom of the screen.  It is only when I want to copy from the Mac to the PC.
    I have checked the Sharing tab in preferences, and on both systems it is enabled.  I tried disabling and then re-enabling.
    I am also unable to using the download Purchased items in iTunes, as my Mac and PC are connected to different iTunes accounts.  Both machines are authorised to play both accounts though.
    Any advice?

  • How do I transfer music from one PC to another using Home Sharing?

    I've read the article but I'm having some issues.
    I've set up home sharing on both of my computers, but on both of them, when I click on the home sharing button on the sidebar, it is completely blank. I see no music and I don't see any "Import" button. Can someone tell me what is going on?
    Thank you.

    Don't bother with HomeSharing.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
