TS2972 How do you get the house icon to come up for the home shared? I can't drag the songs!

I have tried troubleshoot.. How do you set it up to where I can drag songs from other libraries!

I had the most awful time trying to make this work too.
Here's what I did...
1) Turn off the wifi on your mac.
2) Get all your contacts the way you want them on your address book (on your mac) BUT you have to make sure they're all in the same contact list. See... there's a little red ribbon almost in the middle of the address book screen. Click on it and make sure there is only one list. My problem was my address book had created a "On my Mac" list, and an iCloud list, both with different contacts. Once you get them all into one list go to "Export" and create an "Address Book archive". Save this document in a safe place, this will contain ALL your contacts the way you want them.
3) Delete all your contacts on Address Book, and using a web browser delete all your contacts on iCloud. Turn on the wifi on your Mac and let them both (mac and icloud) sync up and make sure there's no contacts at all. If any appear you'll have to delete them.
4) Turn the wifi off on your mac once more.
5) Import the Address Book archive into your address book (on the mac). Make sure they all import to only one list (no more "On my Mac", or "iCloud" list).
6) Turn on your wifi and let iCloud sync to your list of contacts. If it deletes them all try the whole process again... deleting from iCloud and mac, and then importing contacts into Address Book.
Hope this helps.

    I just upgraded to a new MacBook and my wife is inheriting my old MacBook Air. How can I change the her MacBook Air to now be fundamentally hers? That is, so the House Icon under Users folder is her name and not mine? Also the default AppleID for purchase stubbernly remains my own.

    You do not mention it, but I will assume you are running OS 10.9.1.
    Go to: Apple menu / System Preferences / Users & Groups. Click the padlock and enter your password.
    Click the + (plus sign) and set up a new account for your wife. You have to enter a bunch of info. And then create the correct Login Options. Automatic login does not require a password from the selected user.
    When that is done, verify the account works by restarting the computer and login as your wife.
    Make sure that any applications in your own Users folder that will be needed are moved to the Applications folder in your wife's Users folder.
    Now go back to Users and Groups, click the padlock and authenticate, select your own account, and hit the - (minus sign). This step cannot be reversed, so you might want to wait a few days before doing it.
    When your wife is logged in, the App Store will know.

  • My outlook will not open yet all other microsoft packages will.  When I click on the icon, the 'o' logo will come up for a split second but will not open the package - need to receive emails asap!

    You're very welcome!
    I meant holding the "option" (or "alt") key on your keyboard as you click the Outlook icon on the Dock, and continuing to hold it until you see the Microsoft Database Utility come up. Alternatively, you can open the utility by navigating to Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Office and then double-clicking the Microsoft Database Utility app.
    When you rebuild your database using that program, a backup copy of your original database (containing your account info, contacts, mail, calendars, etc) will be created. As a security precaution, you should also ensure you have a backup of your database (which you can find by going to Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/ and copying the contents of that folder onto an external drive).

  • How do you get your contacts icon to show up on your phone

    i got my phone all configured but i can't see the contacts icon.  i can access my contacts by searching for them but how do you set up your icon?

    The icon is there somewhere since it can't be deleted or restricted.  Check all your screens and folders... look under Utilities.

  • How do I get just my icon to come up when I log in?

    I bought this macbook pro used. It is running on lion. I wanted to change my user name so I made a new user and deleted the old one. Now when I log in, it shows my user and guest. I just want it to show mine so all I need to do is type the password and click return. How do I get rid of the guest user? Here is the problem. It isn't a normal guest user that can get onto the desktop. It is one that logs directly onto safari. It is a web user. When I go to system preferences, it says that the guest user is disabled. Is there any way to get rid of the icon when I get to the log in screen?

    It is a very valuable "Find My Mac" security feature.
    It is not wise to remove it.

    The procedure to remove is described in this article.

    You can do that by using an add-on such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2221/ NewTabURL] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/777/ New Tab Homepage].

  • How do you get a Bucket Truck to come out?

    So, here is my problem... I ordered TV and Internet last week and the Rep I worked with told me that my house was "hot" and would be able to do a self-install. I recieved everything in the mail, connected my cable modem and was surprised when another local cable provider appeared in my browser instructing me to activate with them.  So, it does appear that I am not connected to the right service provider at the utility pole, and for the life of me, can not get customer service to recgonize that I only need that fixed, not an installer to come charge me $40. If anyone has the magic phrase that works with customer service that would be awesome! Thanks!

    You most likely have two drops coming into the house, normally the drop is not shared between the Comcast's and the overbuilders system.  It might be as simple as checking around the outside of the house where the ground blocks are, and connect your inside coax cabling to the proper Comcast ground block and remove it from the overbuilder's ground block.  The ground blocks are the demarc's between your inside coax wiring and changing between one or the other would be something that would need to be done.It is one line dropped to the house, it appears there are 3 service providers on the utility pole and I am assuming that needs to be switched. Luckily I do have someone coming out, but I am trying to avoid paying the money if possible. 

  • How do you get of hold of anyone at Adobe for help?  Cannot download Photoshop CC.

    I could not update Photoshop CC from Creative Cloud desktop or online. I need Raw 8.3 to be compatible with Lightroom.  It is impossible to get a hold of anyone at Adobe for help.  Found their chat link once after much searching, someone finally answered then told me they were closing for the day and to call back the next day.  Could never find the chat link again.  Tried uninstalling PhotoshopCC because I saw that somewhere in the forum but still cannot download Photoshop CC.  Got error code U43M1U49 and said to retry or contact customer support.  Yeah right!  Totally frustrated with Adobe.  Anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi Triste,
    If you're having difficulties getting updates for your tools using the Creative Cloud Desktop app, then you can try downloading them without it by using the direct links for the CC updates on Windows or on Mac OS, for all CC apps.

    Hi. I have a MacBook Pro with OS10.6.8 and cannot get internet pages to load on my WiFi network at home.

Can anyone suggets how I can fix it, as the MBP appears to be fine, its updated with all the latest versions of software and the WiFi network is also fine....just not with my MBP??

  • How do I get a word documewnt in Downloads under "Tools" to open? I can't find the original document.

    My wife opened a word document from her e-mail but didn't save it. I see it under Tools-downloads but can't get it to open. Does anyone have a suggestion? I think she deleted the e-mail and it is not in her deleted Items nor in Word under recent...

    The Downloads folder in the Downloads Manager only shows a list of files that you have downloaded, but this doesn't mean that the file is still stored on the hard drive.
    If "Open" and "Open Containing Folder" in the right-click context menu in the Download Manager window are grayed then that means that the file is no longer in the original download location and they may have been removed by Anti-virus or cleanup software or otherwise.

  • How do I get albums out of "compilations'?  On one of my machined I can go to individual songs, "get info" and uncheck "part of a compilation", but that does not work on my office machine.  I would also like to be able to do this in  a group for an album,

    I don't know how so much of my music got lost by being labled "compilations"?  I would like to go back and catagorize it as it should be but the screens are gray and will not let me alter them as to the catagory I wish them to be in (or even the genere they are already labled?  On my home machine I can (by individual song) "get info and uncheck "part of a compilation" and when this is finished the album goes to the genere as it is listed?  Frustrating bit of hous keeping.  Help and Thanks  Chuck

    The Get Info. fields show up gray if the files is locked and iTunes knows it can't edit the file. Make sure the files are not marked as read only and, if necessary grant both your account and system full access to all files and subfolders of your media folder.
    You can set Part of a Compilation for multiple tracks from the Options tab of Get Info.
    See Grouping tracks into albums for tips on getting iTunes organized.

  • We have three computers in the house--2 crashed before I could deauthorize home sharing.  Now, with my new MacAir, the total computers in our household is 3 but home sharing will not allow me to add the other device.

    We have three computers in the house (iMac, MacAir and the new MacAir I just received) in addition to 2 iPhones and 2 iPads.  2 Macbook Pros are no longer in use (both crashed before home sharing could be deauthorized) but now I have reached my maximum device allowance (5), even though only 2 computers are currently active.  How can I reset the authorized computer numbers?

    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. Otherwise you can "deauthorize all" from your iTunes account.
    Open iTunes on a computer
    From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
    Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
    Under "Computer Authorizations" select "Deauthorize All".
    Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "deauthorize all" your authorized computers, authorize each one as required.

  • I set up home sharing but can't access the music on my iPhone

    My Iphone was out of storage so I deleted downloaded music and set up home sharing where I supposedly could access music stored on my computer.  It is supposedly set up correctly on my computer and my Iphone 4.  Both have latest software.   Instructions say to open music and then press more but when I open music app there is no "More"  It just says "no content" and a link to Itunes Store.   How do I get "More" to show up in my music app?

    You need to configure computer iTunes to share. not just your computer.
