Unable to copy music between PC's using homesharing

I have been trying to copy my iTunes library from my desktop PC to my new laptop using home sharing. I can see my laptop library on my old PC but cannot see my PC library on the laptop which is where I am trying to transfer the music to. Some of the music has been transfered earlier however using home sharing.

    Assuming you are not manually managing your music, verify the following:
    You are using the latest version of iTunes
    On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
    In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
    There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
    You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize this computer)
    You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
    When everything looks correct, sync your phone.

  • Latest OVI Suite Version - Unable to Copy Music, P...

    I have a Nokia n900 with the latest MAEMO 5 software on it.
    For some reason with the latest OVI Suite update I'm unable to copy Music, Pictures and Videos even the playlists that i make. I did a DROP/DRAG option and also right click and COPY TO DEVICE option. Odd thing though when i do choose the MASS STORAGE options and take a look at .audio folder there is one file that was copied ONLY but its corrupt.
    Just tried the BLUETOOTH connection instead since this wasn't there with prev version of the OVI Suite and then copying those media files and it works but it's a pain since i copy around 2GB of files and takes awhile...
    Whats wrong with the USB transfer capabilities on the latest OVI Suite?
    BTW already downloaded a fresh copy of the OVI suite and reinstalled and still the same issue. Also got a brand new cable and still the same.

    @noside143
    Sorry for the delay in answering but can only say no issues with OVI Suite v.3.1.1.80 on Xp SP3 device copying music from N900 on Global PR1.2 unfortunately:
    Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

  • 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?

  • Can't copy music between Mac and Windows

    Here's my configuration:
    PC: Windows 7, Itunes 10.7
    Mac: 10.6.8, Itunes 10.7
    Both are on the same minor release, 21
    The behavior I'm observing:
    I use Home Sharing from both computers, using the same Apple ID on both.
    On the PC, I can see the Mac's music library, and I can copy items from that library to the PC. I cannot copy an item from the PC to the Mac
    On the Mac, I can see the PCs library listed, but when I click on it, it acts as though it's making a connection, but the connection never completes.
    I have attempted to do this with two separate Apple IDs. This worked just fine before the iTunes 10.7 installation.
    Any thoughts on what might be going on?

    Yes, both are authorized.
    I tried exporting the "Library" on the PC (that's where 95% of the tunes are) and imported them onto the Mac and only the tunes that are resident on the Mac show up in the imported list. It does show ALL the playlists but like I said, only those songs that are already resident on the Mac show up.

  • Copying app between different servers using CopyApp into EPM architectur

    Hi,
    I have Hyperion Planning System 9.3 EPM arch.
    I want to migrate from my dev server to another prod server.
    I have used the tool CopyApp without problems in Hyperion Planning System 9.3 not EPM.
    Anybody knows if there will be any problem using the tool CopyAPP in EPM arch., or if you have to do some another steps to can migrate with this tool???

    I am in the process of copying.
    There are some pre-requisties:
    Create DSN (planning server)
    Create basic planning app in planning using the DSN created
    Please make sure you use uppercase for everything before the = sign on copyapp.properties file.
    copyapp runs and creates the essbase cubes, rdbms tables.
    Also the log files says OLAP data is not copied (need to export/import),
    target application will not be registered with HSS nor have it's users provisioned.
    At this point I am thinking I need to refresh data in planning, register app in HSS and provision users -

  • Copying music between my devices

    My iTunes library on my MacBook is made up of my CD's that I copied to it. I synced them successfully with my iPhone. Now I want to sync them with my iMac. How do I do this?

    You can't "sync" them to your iMac in the same way you sync them to your phone.  You will have to copy them there.  There are many ways to do this, but the easiest way is with Home Sharing:

    Copying them from your iPod is possible, but it requires third party software that costs money.

  • Why do I get a "ITunes can't copy music to the IPad?

    ITunes stopped copying songs to my IPad 1. I'm upgraded to the most recent IOs 5 version, but when I try to copy my music from ITunes (on a Windows laptop) to my IPad it wont work. I get an error message that says  "ITunes is unable to copy music to ___'s IPad because ITunes is unable to copy music to the IPad. This is a first, I've always been able to transfer my ITunes library to my IPad. I'm not just talking about music Ive copied to ITunes from CD's, it won't copy any of the songs I've purchased through ITunes.
    I do have some music on my IPad from ITunes but it wont allow me to add additional music.
    Thanks

    You can try deleting all of the music and then sync it back to the iPad.
    Uncheck the Sync Music heading in iTunes and then sync the iPad to remove the music. Quit iTunes, and then connect the iPad again, launch iTunes and select the Sync Music heading again to sync the Music back to the iPad.

  • Copying music from friend

    is it possible to simply copy some of my mates music from his i-tunes into my own ipod without deleting my own music. Am i missing something obvious?

    You originally asked a different question.
    If you want to copy your music from your iPod back into your iTunes here are some ways of doing it.
    Copy from iPod to PC
    It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
    You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
    Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61148
    If you have an iPod with iTunes Store purchases on it, you can use it to copy your purchases to other authorized computers.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.3/en/2586win.html
    However this is not allowed for other music.
    This MacMuse tip tells you how to copy music from your iPod using Windows Explorer, but it is a bit fiddly:
    http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=797432
    Otherwise you can use third party software to manage the transfer, there are a variety of programs out there, some free and some that will copy ratings and counts as well as the music files. Here is a selection, check them out and see what suits you.

  • How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

    How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

    unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
    i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
    unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
    factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
    connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
    create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
    login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
    add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups

  • HT1203 iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer - I tried to use the instructions to configure 2 different windows users sharing the same iTunes library.  I could not get this to work per the instructions.

    I tried to configure 2 windows users accounts using a single library per the instructions in HT1203.  My iTunes library is on an external drive.  I cannot get this to work.  Any suggestions?

    To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
    If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.

  • Using the same photos and music between two user accounts in the same Mac

    Hi,
    I think this question might have already been asked in the forum.
    1. I have one MacBook Pro and two user accounts (One for me and one for my wife)
    2. We are having two seperate iPhones with seperate AppleIDs
    3. We want to maintain the apps / calendar / mail / reminders / contacts as seperate - Through iCloud (Seperate Apple ID approach) - All this is fine
    4. All we want to have it shared is the Music files and the Photo library without duplicating
    I have tried the shared folder approach for the music and having the iTunes point to that directory for the libary location in the preferences but unfortunately if she adds a folder to the library mine does not get updated unless I do a add folder to library and vice versa.
    Whats the best way to deal with the Photos / Music sharing between two user accounts on the same mac
    Thanks
    Shas

    To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
    To give others selective access to your iPhoto library, you have the option of using iCloud Photo Sharing, if the privacy implications don't bother you. The images will be stored temporarily on Apple servers.
    If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support articles linked below.
