TS2972 "shared" does not show up in iTunes even though sharing is turned on

any ideas.  I just got a apple tv and am not able to access my main computer which is a mini mac

Sharing is nothing to do with homesharing, homesharing is set up from the advanced menu in iTunes.

    I tried to rename a file, it gave me an error message (can't remember the number - 43??) and then the file disappeared from the original folder. When I do a search, the file comes up under the new name, but it does not show a path, and even though preview shows the contents, I can't open the document (Powerpoint) and I can't move the document. I tried "Copy" and paste but it doesn't work. I tried "Share" with Airdrop and iChat, but the file is inaccessible. When i try to rename the file, it says the filename is too long.
    When I try to open it, it says the alias is not good, and asks if I want to fix the alias. I'm afraid to do that and lose all access to this document.
    Right now, it feels like a ghost document - it is on the computer intact, but it is in an undisclosed location and inaccessible.
    Please help!!

    I was able to resolve this by repairing permissions, even though no permissions error was listed specifically for that file.
    I could also have recovered it through Time Machine, but I'm interested in knowing how not to have this happen again!
    I was afraid of rebooting and possibly losing track even of the ghost.
    I did not try EasyFind - I'll keep that in mind next time.
    Thanks for all the comments.

  • Iphone 4s not showing up in iTunes, even though I have done everything suggested by Apple

    I have an iPhone 4S and the latest version of iTunes.
    Everything worked fine untile one day, the iPhone stopped showing up in iTunes. I have not installed any other software during that time.
    I have done everything suggested in Apple's support pages and reinstalled iTunes and all Apple software as suggested.
    My iPhone is showing up in iTunes when I connect it to another computer with iTunes installed.
    Any clues as to what may cause this on my computer?
    Thanks!

    the new appletv is not supposed to show up in itunes like the old one did.

  • My podcast does not show up in search, even though I submitted it and it was accepted.

    I think I submitted the wrong feed URL, but it's been over two weeks and I did not receive a confirmation message.
    When I try resubmitting the correct feed though (which  has been checked with a feed validator), it tells me that my feed has already been submitted..
    Is there anyway I can start this process over again so I can just begin with the correct and validated link?

    My feed URL is
    http://www.firepolemarketing.com/blog/category/fireside-chats-with-danny-iny/fee d/
    but I accidentally submitted
    http://www.firepolemarketing.com/blog/category/fireside-chats-with-danny-iny/
    I can find the latter using the advanced search and it is preventing me from submitting the former.
    When I try to "report a concern" to delete the one I initially submitted, it says that I can't because I did not subscribe to the it via the Itunes directory.
    Is there a way to get the feeds deleted so I can add the correct one?

  • Home sharing enabled, not showing up in itunes menu

    I have two pcs and I have enabled home sharing for both and made sure I am signed in under the same apple id for both, but "Sharing
    " does not show up in the menu on the left side of my itunes.  What am I doing wrong?

    I found that switching homesharing off and then turning it back on for me cleared the issue.

  • HT1459 Just bought a new ipod shuffle for my kid and cannot set it up because it does not show up in itunes. Also the charging light does not light up. what could be wrong, as i am able to see both my iphone and ipad on itunes on the same pc?

    Just bought a new 4th gen iPod Shuffle for my kid. Problem is I cannot do the initial set up, as the device does not show up on iTunes on my PC. Also the charging does not light up. Any ideas on what could be wrong, as I am able to see both my iphone and iPad on iTunes using the same PC?

    I also tried manually underlining a few things on the new iPad and when highlighting a paragraph, it would skip a few lines and the line would go through a few as well. Looks like a major iBooks glitch needs to be addressed here.

  • HT1384 My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?

    My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?
    I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.

    Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
    Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(

  • I downloaded an ap on my phone, but it does not show up in iTunes

    i downloaded a game on the phone from the ap store, but it does not show up in iTunes...how do i fix that?

    It might not be compatible with the iPad or the iOS version you're running on your iPad (you can check the app store to find out).  You also have to have the same Apple ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores and have Apps turn to On under Automatic Downloads.

    sharing does not show up on the side column ... tried turning off home sharing then turning it back on ... shared shows up untell i click "done " then its gone.

    Yes, I have also tried and failed when setting up Home Sharing.  I have followed the instruction given on the Support website, but this is all I see:
    Both computers are on the same local network and both allow Home Sharing and are signed in with the same user name. I am not sure what else to do.  Any suggestions?

  • When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone' The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library.  How can I get it into my library?

    When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone'.  This is at the end of all the other tabs like info, ringtones, music etc. The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library.  How can I get it into my library?  It doesn't sync either.

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

  • 80 GB Ipod Classic does not show up in itunes or Win Vista Machine

    Hi, I recently updated my itunes software with ver.8 and since then my 80 GB Classic ipod does not show up in itunes or in my computer. Hence, I am not able to sync my itunes. When I connect my ipod it just shows "Connected - Eject before disconnecting" and just freezes there. Pls help?

    Hi. When I connect my ipod to any microsoft device, sometimes my ipod doesnt connect. I cant charge it, or restore it as it behaves like a useless piece of plastic.. I get a yellow bubble 'Device not recognized or has malfunctioned'
    This problem is bizarre! I cannot find anyone who actually has a solution for this problem! Apples standard answer is for me to reinstall my drivers or update itunes or windows. Done it. No solution yet.
    My ipod works fine.... sometimes. Its a completely unpredictable problem. Ive googled this problem and so many ipod classic owners have asked.. solutions ive tried: the 5r's, updating drivers, It managed to connect once, but now it wont. My ipod normally works fine on my PC, XBOX, laptop and Mac.. but sometimes, unpredictably, it wont be recognized by anything apart from the mac. For a month it would not connect at all and I took it in to an Apple store where they told me it works fine. Its not my PC.. its up to date, and theres no reason why it doesnt work on my XBOX because some times it does.. last night it did, today its broken again, I suspect tomorrow it may work. This is SO frustrating!!
    I have alot of experience in PC's and normally I can solve a problem by process of elimination, updating and reinstalling, but in this case.. everything seems fine. My only idea is that maybe its my Sync cable?? Which also makes no sense because it generally connects fine on the mac - and, why would a sync cable be unpredictable.. surely it either works or it doesnt. HELP PLEASE!!
    Nick.
