Trying to share a playlist

I can't find the "show links to the iTunes store" checkbox in preferences that will supposedly allow my to share a playlist via the iTunes store. I want to share a playlist but can't seem to make it happen. I have the most recent iTunes download and I'm running Windows XP. I've searched all the preference tabs. Any ideas?
This is the link to the information on playlist sharing that I'm going off of - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/music/itunes.html#playlists-shareplaylists

I'm having the exact same problem. I am a thousand per cent sure that I'm using the correct username (not email) /password combination to login. (I used the same details to login to my Tumblr account to make sure they work.) It seems to be a spotify issue rather than a Tumblr issue. I have been trying for months to attach my tumblr account to spotify with zero change.

HT2688 How do I share a playlist of old standards with my fathers ipod touch. He has alzheimer's/dementia and one of the things the doctors have suggested is to play music he would have listened to in younger years.

I am trying to figure out if I can share a playlist of old standards from my itunes library with my father's ipod touch, which we purchased for him a few years ago, without erasing the content that is already on his ipod. The current content was put on it by my sister, who does not currently live near here.
My father has mid/late stage alzheimer's/dementia and one of the things that has been suggested is to play music for him from when he was a younger man.
Thanks in advance for any help,

I just discovered what the Project Loop End marker is for. I am no longer frustrated. And, apparently, it IS a problem to set project durations shorter than about eight seconds. I had no problem setting it to ten. Four and five are problems.
So, for anyone else who wants to end a Motion project on an exact fram: Project Loop End. To me, that sounded like it would go back and play the effect over again, but it doesn't.

I am at work and someone is trying to share my itunes library. Is there a way to put a password or lock on it somehow?

i am at work and someone is trying to share my itunes library. Is there a way to put a password or lock on it somehow?

Select Edit > Preferences > Sharing (press Ctrl-B to enable the menu bar if it is not visible). Then either:
Uncheck the Share my library on my local network box so that no-one has access to it. or
Check the Require password box and enter a password value if you want to share the content of your library (either the whole library or a selection of playlists) with selected users.

Installed latest itunes update and computer tried to burn a playlist to CD and realized computer no longer recognizes my CD/DVD drive. This is an APPLE Itunes issue. Help!. HPPavillion DV6 64 bit, windows 7

Installed latest itunes update and computer tried to burn a playlist to CD and realized computer no longer recognizes my CD/DVD drive. After doing some data mining, found out from community this is an long standing APPLE problem- which doesn't get much tech support in terms of fixes. I have an HPPavillion DV6 64 bit, Windows 7 OS . After reading an earlier complaint from 2009 in the support community, I ran diagnostics from ITunes which gave the following result. Can someone please help? (I'm not enough of a techie to know what I'm doing or how to locate /reinstall CD drivers. I am searching for driver disc but cannot locate.)

I'm trying to add a playlist manually to my iPhone 4. It won't let me because it's trying to delete all of the music currently on my iPhone. Is there any way to prevent this from happening in order to start manually updating it?

Are you leaving the box unchecked to Manually manage music & videos? You don't need to to add anything to the iPhone.
Simply drag the playlist to the iPhone to manually add it.

I tunes: when trying to burn a playlist I keep getting the message: the attempt to burn a disc failed. The disc could not be read from or written to. I am using version 12

I tunes: I am using version 12 of I tunes. Ever since downloading it I get the message when trying to burn a playlist it says, The attempt to burn a disc failed. The disc could not be read from or written to.
I uninstalled V-12 and then reinstalled it. This enabled me to burn a disc again but after a couple of tries I received the same error message again. Has Apple put out a fix to this problem that anyone is aware of?
Thanks.

Hi rossfrombluffton,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The resource below provides some general things to consider when burning a disc with iTunes. I would also try burning a music CD and a data disc from a different application in the Windows OS and trying a different brand CD just to confirm the issue is not with the optical drive.
Can't burn a CD in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-ae/HT203173
Find out what to do if you can't burn an audio CD using iTunes for Windows. Sometimes an audio disc may not burn as expected. Here are some things to check.
Update iTunes
Download and install the latest version of iTunes for Windows.Check for unauthorized songs
iTunes will stop burning a disc if you purchased one or more of the songs in a playlist from the iTunes Store and the songs aren't authorized to play on your computer. This message should appear: "Some of the files can not be burned to an audio CD. Do you still want to burn the remainder of this playlist? For more information on why some files can not be burned, click below."
To find out which songs aren't authorized, play each song in the playlist. Songs that play are authorized. Songs that don't play aren't authorized. You'll be asked to authorize any unauthorized songs.Make sure your playlist will fit on a single CD
If there are too many songs in a playlist to fit on a single CD, iTunes should ask if you want to burn multiple discs or cancel the burn. This message should appear: "The songs in this playlist will not fit on one Audio CD. Do you want to create multiple Audio CDs with this playlist split across them? This will require more than one blank CD to complete."
If you click the Audio CDs button, the burn will continue and you'll be asked to insert blank CDs until the playlist is completely burned. If you click cancel, the burn will be canceled.
To make the playlist shorter so that it will fit on a single CD, select a song to remove from the playlist and choose Edit > Clear. Repeat this step until the duration of the playlist is between 60 and 80 minutes. The duration appears at the top of the playlist window. Most CD-R discs can hold 60 to 80 minutes of music.
Check how many times you've burned the playlist
An unchanged playlist that contains songs purchased from the iTunes Store can be burned no more than seven times.Additional steps and submitting feedback

I am trying to share calendars with my husband (using Google calendars). He can see my calendars, but I am having trouble seeing his. We both use iPhones.

I am trying to share calendars with my husband (using Google calendars). He can see my calendars, but I am having trouble seeing his. We both use iPhones. We both have company email addresses. I have had to install and uninstall my gmail info on my iPhone multiple times due to errors sending and receiving emails from my company email address on my phone. For some reason, all of my emails are getting stuck in my outbox when my gmail account is installed on my phone. When I delete it, my emails get sent automatically. This is really annoying! I would do without the gmail account, but I need to share calendars with my husband. How do I fix this?

If you have two-step verification turned on in your email account, you'll have to log in with a browser and turn it off.

In trying to share music with multiple user accounts on one comp, I quit itunes, located my itunes media folder, moved it to a publicly accessible location. Problem is it didn't work and now I can't get it all back to the way it was.

In trying to share music with multiple users on one computer, I followed the directions on "iTunes:How to share music between different accounts on a single computer" (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1203). I did something wrong because i lost iTunes
Tried to put files back, but it is not the same. Plugged in my ipod and it is not recognizing my computer.
Can someone tell me where iTunes should be, and what sub files should be included with it. Thanks!

If you are seeing the "Connect to iTunes" logo, then your device is in Recovery Mode, and you will need to restore it:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

IPhoto 9.5.1 - Trying to share 1 libary

Using iPhoto 9.5.1.... Trying to share one libary on a home network between 2 imacs, a mini mac server and a laptop (and two iphones) - I am organised and my husband is not - It would be great if we could share our family photos in one great master area on our home network - Sadly I hear this has been discontinued? If not please help

That is not really a feature of iPhoto - it can be done - sort of - using an external disk with ownership ignored - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198

Have a company based itunes account, trying to share itunes on bank owned devices. can't get all devices to keep our shared password on them without requesting user to enter password (which i am not giving them)

i am an IT manager for a bank. we have several company owned iphones. WE have also implemented a mobile device management system to manage our iphones.
We setup acompany based itunes account, trying to share itunes on bank owned devices. This way i can add bank approved apps to the devices through our itunes account and push out to the iphones, and no one can download any other non bank approved apps.
it has been working ok. but recently i had one user who came in. He went to enter in his itunes account on the phone and didn't work. So then came back and my staff and myself have (as much as we can see) removed his email account itunes login from all sections in settings. and entered in our itunes account information, but when you go to the app store, and hit upgrade, it still shows his email account for itunes. I feel like i can't get all devices to keep our shared password on them without requesting user to enter password (which i am not giving them)
How can i troubleshoot his device. i tried changing password 5 times today, rebooted device, and no change.
Jenn McGlynn

i have an MDM application, and i push out the apps i want them to have with our IT apple id account. for some reason when two approved apps needed updating last week, they prompted him for our password. (which i told him to bring phone in and i would enter password).
but somehow he went to try to enter his personal to make it work (don't know why)
somewhere it's keeping his personal email. i went into itunes/apps and our apple id is in there.
there is nothing in icloud b/c we do not allow icloud, so that's clear.

How do i get rid of "homecomputer" that is trying to share with me?

I think someone may be trying to share something with my computer, but I have no idea who would do this and do not wish to share. In Finder, on the left, underneath SHARED, there is an icon of an old looking computer that says "homecomputer." Every once in a while the eject symbol shows up next to it, but when I click it nothing happens, and the eject button disappears. Clicking the "homecomputer" once, a file shows up on the right that says "SharedDocs." On the top it says Connected as: Guest. The file contains several other files such as AOL Downloads, some songs, sample pictures, etc. Its possible a neighbor accidentally connected, but I wish to delete this for security reasons. However, I can't delete it. Please help me get rid of this!

If you have a Network listed under Devices or Shared in the Finder's sidebar, then click on it to open the Network window. If you see an icon for "homecomputer" displayed, then CTRL- or RIGHT-click on it and select Eject from the contextual menu or simply drag it to the Trash.
If no Network is listed, then select Preferences from the Finder menu, click on the Advanced icon in the toolbar, then check the topmost box, Computer. Now in the Finder's sidebar you should see an entry under Devices labeled Computer or your computer name. Select it, and you should now see a Network icon displayed.
If this doesn't work, then check your settings in the File Sharing panels in System Preferences. It may be helpful to turn off file sharing, wait for it to stop, then restart it.
If your wireless network is not protected, then I suggest you configure your router to turn on WPA2 security and assign a password to access your network.

How do I share a playlist from my itunes library with another user on the same computer?

I would like to share a playlist with another uuser on the same computer. We have separate itunes libraries on the same computer. How do gey my playlist from my library to hers?

I'm not sure, but maybe if you activate home sharing. It should also share playlists, not only files.
The only other way I can think of is to export the playlist and import for the other user.

Trying to share a printer attached to a PPC Mac Mini

Hi all.
I'm reinsterting an old Mac Mini running OS X 10.5.8 as a headless print server. I can interact with it via other computers to share the screen, so my network protocol with the computer is sound. My problem is, I can't seem to print to any printer attached to this computer--this is obviously a problem, as that's the whole reason I've revived this device.
Sharing setup for all computers is complete and the client computers don't seem to have any trouble seeing the printer. But when I print to it, the job is sent VERY quickly (suspiciously so) from my clients (a Mac Mini Intel in the living room and a MacBook), and the PPC mini shows no indication a print job was ever delivered.
Any brilliant ideas? I'm sure it's something really basic I'm not remembering or thinking about, and I'm sure someone has already asked this question; feel free to direct me to that solution, as my searching efforts didn't produce anything that I felt was helpful--but I've been wrong before.
Thanks!

OK then, please post a brand new question in the OS X 10.5.8 "Leopard" forum:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.5_leopard
I no longer have a Leopard system to test and I used my one brilliant idea for today.
A new question should solicit more interest. Hopefully one of the old guard can think of something. Reference this thread so they can read what you did so far: Trying to share a printer attached to a PPC Mac Mini
Edit: Before you go, can you print to this printer while directly attached to the other computers too? Make sure it's not a simple driver problem. Good luck!
