TS2972 i can only see my homeshare library when i have itunes opened on my lap top. as soon as i close it on my laptop it goes away on my pc

i purchased a new dell desktop. my home itunes is on my laptop. the home share only works on the pc when i have itunes opened on my laptop. as soon as i close it on my laptop it disappears frpm the pc library

Have both computers running and have iTunes open on both computers.
Now, in the iTunes on the computer you want to transfer music to, select the library that you want to transfer music from, as per the following screenshot:
Once the other library loads, go down to the bottom of the screen and in "Show:" select "Items not in my library":
If you want to import all of the songs you can now see, head up to the iTunes menu bar and go "Edit > Select all". Then head down to the bottom of the screen again and click the "Import" button in the bottom-right-hand corner.
If there's a lot of stuff in your original laptop's library, the transfer may take some time.
To get playlist metadata across, see the following instructions:

  • What happened to the option to see all your purchased movies alphabetically?  I can only see recent purchases and then I have to look by movie type.  With over 500 movies purchased this is a huge pain.

    What happened to the option to see all your purchased movies alphabetically?  I can only see recent purchases and then I have to look by movie type.  With over 500 movies purchased, this is a huge pain.  For instance the movie Airport 77 is classified as Drama not action?  But it is action?  I have to look at both types to find the film.  I will stop buying films via AppleTV if this is the way it is going to stay.  I am not searching for films in this crazy manner.

    Same issue here. Might have to do with size of library. I too have over 300 purchased movies. "ALL PURCHASED" folder disappeared yesterday on all my AppleTV's. My son only has 20+ purchased movies and his still shows "ALL" folder. However, I had him log in under my account and "ALL" folder is missing??? I hope Apple gets this resolved quickly. I too do not want to flip through various Genres looking for movies.

    my total library is 680 mb, nowhere close to the 2.08 in the pictures folder. I am obviously messing up.
    Actually you’re not.
    The iPhoto Window reports the size of the library that would result if you exported all the current versions +and nothing else+ to a folder on the desktop.
    The iPhoto Library Folder contains the Original, Modified and thumbnail versions of your pics. It also contains various cache and database files +all of which are necessary+ for the working of the Library.
    Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
    You can run a Library on an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

    Apple doesn't have any built-in ad blocking components in teh OS or in Safari...so what ad blocking program or Safari extension are you using?  It should have the ability for you to change its settings.

    Hi I have itunes UK on my lap top and my daughter has been bought an Itunes USA gift card how can I use this please?

    Gift cards can only be used in the country in which they are purchased - so in order to use a US gift card you would need to have a US iTunes account.

  • Since software update, can't see contents of iPod when connected to iTunes

    About 2 days ago, when I connected my iPod to my pc (iTunes), it said there were some software updates for my iPod so I downloaded them and the iPod rebooted itself. Once it came back up, my iPod showed up in iTunes under "devices" on the left hand sidebar. I got the registration page - I usually click register later, but nothing happened this time. It didn't bring me into my iPod. So I tried to Register. I could get so far, then it asked if I wanted some free movie or something, I said NO THANKS, CONTINUE, but nothing happened. I wasn't registered AND I couldn't access my iPod. I can see my iPod under My Computer. I can see "sandra's iPod" uder devices in iTunes. BUT, I can't get to the content when connected to iTunes. All of my stuff is there on the iPod. I can play my iPod when it's not connected to iTunes - but I can't see the content, manipulate playlists, delete songs, etc. when connected to iTunes. I am almost positive this is a result of the latest software updates to the iPod. I have not updated iTunes - I didn't want to and compound the problem. I'm not a techy person - so please be gentle! Thank you. Sandra

  • How do you close only one window (not tab) when you have two open?

    I can close a tab when I have multiple ones open but if I have two windows open and I close one window it closes all other windows. How can I close just one window without shutting down any other windows?

    Yes, when I click on the red X it closes both windows. I'll try the Ctrl+w

  • Lightroom 4 Bug: can only see photos in Library mode, not develop mode

    This may be related to other imported catalog bugs, but does not seem to be quite the same. In Lightroom 4, with an upgraded Lightroom 3 catalog:
    1. Select a photo in Library mode.
    2. Click on Develop to go to Develop mode
    Screen shows "No photo selected". I cannot edit photos in Develop mode.
    I can see and edit photos that are found in smart collections, but not photos that are simply in my collections from 2012, 2011, etc. folders

    This happened to me, too, after importing a couple older LR3 catalogs (upgrading/consolidating). I could see the photo in Library module but when I pressed "D" (single photo selected) I was getting the "no photo selected" error message--for every photo I tried. I wasn't able to open any photos at all in the develop module. (These were photos that were fine before installing LR4 and upgrading.) Photos were from imported LR3 and LR4 Beta catalogs.
    I restarted and everything seems ok--for now!
    So if you come across this thread with this same issue, restart and see if that helps. (Before restarting LR I optimized as suggested above, which did nothing for the "no photo selected" issue. And this isn't related to the parent folder issue, I left my photos in the same place and didn't have more than 3k photos in any of the parent folders. I read in other threads that people had the issue again after importing other catalogs. I'm about to do that so I'll report back.

  • How come I can't see my iPhoto library when uploading?

    When I want to upload a photo to the internet, craigslist.org for instance. I click upload to browse for photo then go to my photos but the iPhoto library icon is grayed out. I know how to get around it by dragging the selected photos to my desktop then uploading those. It takes forever to open iphoto so i rarely open it, but all my pictures are in there and there is no other way to get to them other than opening them. Is there an easier way? Why?
    Thanks

    With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Unix Style Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.*
    *Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS*
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    I've highlighted the one's that may be of most use to you.

  • Calendar app is not viewable. The window will not resize. Can only see header of the app. Have restarted app and computer.

    This is all I can see. it will not resize the window, full screen mode shows only this as well.

    It really seems like a group policy issue, something like network security, and have you tried to re-map the drives, test the restult again.
    you should post you question in this forum

  • Apple TV 2 G - Can only see a few songs in my library, can't see any Movies

    Just bought the Apple TV. I thought that once I setup Homesharing that I would be able to see my entire iTunes library including music and movies. Thus far I can only see a few songs.
    I have updated my iTunes to 10.2 and checked for software updates on the Apple TV, but get the same results.
    I am able to start playing a movie in iTunes and then select Apple TV from the list of devices at the bottom right corner of my iTunes library and it will then it will play on my TV, but if this is how I need to play every movie I'll be returning the Apple TV.

    when I navigated on my Apple TV to Computers > "My iTunes Library" at the top of my TV displayed some of my music. I did not realize that I had to click on the "My iTunes Library" to get more option. Once I clicked on "My iTunes Library" I then saw all of the media options and all the music and movie titles. Can't believe it took me this long to figure out.

  • How Can I See My Entire Library?

    I created my library from the iTunes store and from my personal CD collection.   I created it on a Windows desktop machine.   Now, when using my Windows laptop, only my purchased tunes show in my library.   How can I see my whole library?

  • HT4527 I tried home sharing between my desk top and my lap top. My desk top is the original computer with my iTunes library. On my lap top I can only see the music I have bought from iTunes. Is this all I should see? Not my entire library?

    I have tried to install home sharing between my desk top and lap top. I can only see the music I have bought from iTunes on my lap top. Is this normal? I thought I would be able to see my entire library.

    Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.
