Unable to share iTunes from macbook pro to mac mini

I have a Macbook Pro and a Mac Mini both running 10.6.8. They are connected wirelessly and I can open the Macbook Pro from the Mac Mini. However I cannot share the iTunes from the Macbook Pro to the Mac Mini. No Shared item comes up in the Library list. Any solutions?

make sure this checkbox in preferences > general is ticked.

IPhoto "sync" from MacBook Pro to Mac Mini

Hello all,
Looking for some creative advice. We have a Mac Mini as a media server where the family likes to view iPhoto stuff as well use them for the screen saver. But my wife (the family iPhoto Manager) must have the iPhoto library local on her MacBook Pro (it is large and slow to load from a remote drive). I see the multitude of ways to share the files with the Mac Mini but as soon as she closes the lid on her MBP they are no longer accessible by the media server.
Any suggestions for a good simple Apple or third-party file sync utility that may work? Any other creative ideas?

There is no way to sync libraries. What you can do is mirror your wife’s Library on the Mac Mini - to do this, simply use a back up utility like DejaVu Chronosync to back your wife’s Library up to the Mini. Then share the Mini’s Library.
The advantage of this is that after the first back up, these apps will only copy the changes to the library on the Mini, and so it will be quite a fast process.
Regards
TD

Created three new users without Apple IDs and they can't log into either of my Macbook Pro or Mac Mini running Mountain Lion.

I have created three new users without Apple IDs and they can't log into either of my Macbook Pro or Mac Mini running Mountain Lion. These accounts are for my kids and originally were setup with parental controls and time constraints. Thinking this was the problem I removed the time constraints, removed the parental controls, deleted and re-added them, and made them standard users. I have reinstalled, used disk utility to repair permissions, and made them admins. Any help is appreciated.

Users don't need Apple ID's. That's not the issue. Have you tried repairing permissions their accounts?

Repairing User Permissions in OS X Lion
You’ll need to reboot to perform this, and then use the same resetpassword utility that is used to change passwords in Lion, but instead choosing a hidden option.
When you use the Disk Utility app and Repair Permissions — it doesn’t actually repair the permission settings on folders and files in your Home folder where your documents and personal applications reside.
In Lion, there is an additional Repair Permissions application utility hidden away. This tool is located inside boot Repair Utilities. Here’s how to access it.
Restart Lion and hold down the Command and R keys. You will boot into the Repair Utilities screen. On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
The Password reset utility launches, but you’re not going to reset the password. Instead, click on the icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the drop-down below it, select the user account where you are having issues.
At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled ‘Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs’. Click the Reset button there.
The reset process takes a couple of minutes. When it’s done, quit the programs you’ve opened and restart your Mac. Notice that ‘Spotlight’ starts re-indexing immediately.

After upgrading to Yosemite, I am unable to share screen with Macbook Pro

After upgrading to Yosemite 10.10 on a 2008 MacBook Pro I am unable to "Share Screen" using my authorized user account. It worked fine before I upgraded to Yosemite.
I can access "Share Screen" by "requesting permission", but of course this doesn't work unless I am sitting right by the MacBook Pro to give myself permission, which defeats my original purpose for using "Share Screen".
I attempted to add another authorized "Share Screen" user account, but was unable to access the list of add "Groups and Users" on the host MacBook Pro from the "Share Screen" dialog box. The dialog box pops up, when I press "+" to add another user, but the list of users fails to appear. I assume the list of authorized users for screen share has somehow become corrupt.
All other ways to access "sharing user" accounts appear to be working properly. I can add and remove other "sharing users" without problems. For example, I can add a new authorized "file share" user and share files without problems.
I ran Disk Utility in Recovery Mode and normal mode and corrected all errors, and user permissions on both machines. I also ran "resetpassword" from Terminal in Recovery Mode and "reset" user permissions. I am not an experienced Terminal or Recovery Mode user though.
I also tried turning the Firewall off, to no avail.
I am attempting to access "Screen Share" on the MacBook Pro via a Macbook Air 13" manufactured mid 2013 also with Yosemite 10.10, however, I also attempted with an older MacBook Air which experiences the same problem.

Thanks for the idea but it did not work, I do not know why it is asking me for a password which I never needed before for a guest to use the computer? I have tried everything and I do not know which password it wants? I do not see any option for a password for the guest account, to create one or delete one or modify it? Maybe this bug\problem will be addressed in a future update?

How can I transfer pictures from Macbook Pro to Ipad mini

You would need to have your photos in iPhoto. Then in iTunes select your iPad, and under the Photos tab select which photos that you want to send to the iPad.

Noob? Need to make Macbook primary iTunes (from Macbook Pro)

Ok, here's the deal. Work has supplied everyone with a Macbook and my phone is set to use my Macbook Pro as the standard iTunes account.
On my iPhone I have podcasts, some images, recorded notes, and of course, eight (8) pages of applications. Now, I know you can have just one computer synched with the iPhone (is there software, legit or not that will bypass this? Just curious). What is the proper way to take everything on my phone and synch it to my WORK macbook as this is the computer that I will use 90% of the time.
Thank you.

iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content from an iPod or iPhone that was purchased from the iTunes store, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only.
With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
You should authorize the MacBook with your iTunes account with iTunes first.
If your iPhone includes any music or video that was not purchased from the iTunes store, you need to transfer your iTunes library from your MacBook Pro to the MacBook. Transferring the iTunes named folder in the Music folder will also transfer playlists, etc.

ITunes from Macbook Pro not connecting to iTunes Match unless external hard drive plugged in Macbook Pro?

Hi,
I uploaded my entire iTunes library from an external hard drive connected to my MacBook Pro and now it seems anytime I want to play music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro the same external hard drive has to be connected? What am I missing so I can play my music library on my MacBook like I do on my iPhone?

How do I use iSync to share info from MacBook Pro to Nokia 6822 (TMobile)?

Hello! I just got a new MacBook Pro and a new cell phone - a Nokia 6822 (currently I have TMobile Cell Service). I saw at this address: http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html
that the Nokia 6822 is an iSync compatible device.
Sorry for such a novice question - can somebody direct me what this means for me? Can I keep a To Do List & calendar appointments on my MacBook Pro that transfers to my phone? If so, HOW DO I DO THIS?
Can I update To Do list using the keypad on my Nokia 6822 and then sync that data back to my MacBook Pro too? How?
I'd love comments from people who use this technology and what you think of it, too.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1.83 GHz Processor, 512MB DDR2 SDRAM Memory

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
In Mac OS X, contact information is maintained in the Address Book and event and task information in iCal. iSync is used to synchronize this information with a mobile handset like your Nokia 6822. To enable this service, you must pair your mobile handset with your computer using Bluetooth, accessible from the Bluetooth pane of the System Preferences application.
Once paired, you enable synchronization by launching iSync and selecting the Add Device… option under the Devices menu, then configure your synchronization parameters by pressing the mobile handset icon—which appears in the main window of —to drop down a pane in which you select the individual synchronization parameters for your device.
There is a Help file accessible in iSync which explains how all of this works.
