Hard crash when transferring film over Home Sharing

I've discovered an issue with my late 2010 iMac and Home Sharinh
When, using Tunes (10.4) and transferring a film from my Mac mini's shared Home Sharing library, the iMac always experiences a hard crash (OS X locks up telling me I have to power off and on again).
At first I thought it was an issue with the iMac's OS, but found it's specific to my iMac itself. I discovered this as:
    Issue occurred when using a Lion OS on external hard drive on iMac (OS 1)
    Issue occurred when using iMac's hard drive's OS (OS 2)
    Issue didn't occur on MacBook Pro (OS 3)
    Issue didn't occur when using the Lion OS from external hard drive on MacBook Pro (OS 1)
As you can see the issue seems specific to the iMac as when trying a different machine (using either that machine's OS or an external hard drive bootable OS that had issues on the iMac), the issue doesn't occur.
All machines are using OS X Lion and fully up to date.
Copying large files over AFP and FTP doesn't have this issu.
Just when copying larger files via Home Sharing, and only on my iMac, no matter if I use it's own OS or one that works fine on other hardware that's on an external hard drive.
Any ideas on what to do?

Here's the crash report, seems to be the Airport that's causing the issue:

PC crashes when transferring songs to ipod or using itunes..

1) Issue: When transferring songs to IPOD through the use of a PC(itunes or real player), a blue faulty screen will eventually show with some error and then my computer restarts. I have a bout 3800 songs for a 20GB IPOD and it seems to always stop around 4G when transferring. I tried using the IPOD on another computer and it seems to be fine.
2) Also, when I play music using iTunes, it causes the PC to crash as well, without the IPOD connected.
During the error report, it usually says there is an error with the Hard Drive(Western Digital 250 SATA 2 hard drive; hard to use a jumper to adjust to the SATA 1 settings of this motherboards) and it couldn’t’ read it for a second. It advises to to a ScanDisk?CHKDSK run, but when I do this(during reboot), it stops in STEP 4 out of 5 at 20-30% and does nothing. Did this for 1 day! Other error reports supposedly report a faulty device driver error and advise to update drivers, but I’ve updates Apple iTunes.
Contacted Hard Drive manufacturer, Western Digital, and they believe it is a controller device driver issue or something related. Tried updating the bios. Tried installing the VIA 4 for 1 drivers and other drivers in the Motherboards Installation CD. Running a Disk Tools before Microsoft even shows itself, reports no errors. However, when you are partially booted and the computer is scheduled to check the disk, there are errors(won’t move.) I see no update for controller device drivers
A3) lso, if I have a USB hard drive connected to the PC(such as an IPOD or external usb hard drive), sometimes the computer switches boot devices(hard drives) and thinks that the IPOD/External Hard drive is the boot device. This is also reflected in the BIOS and the USB connected hard drive replaces my main SATA hard drive(western digital) and my computer doesn’t completely reboot unless I go under the BIOS and change it. It’s weird because I DO NOT CHANGE THE BIOS. For some reason, it changes on its own.
I have no idea what’s going on. Please Help Me.

I'm having exactly the same problem. I transfer a folder of songs to my itunes library and i choose to transfer them all and only a few get transfered and then the error message comes up.

TS2972 When I set up Home sharing on my computers they dont show up in Itunes on the left tab even though net work and internet are working

When I set up Home Sharing on my itunes account it still doesn't show up when I open itunes even though network and internet is fine

You can only share from a computer to another computer or device, so your iPad won't appear on your computer's iTunes but your computer's iTunes library should show under the More button in the iPad's Music app (assuming that home sharing is 'on' on both, iTunes is open on your computer and they are connected to the same wifi network). Is that not happening ?

On home sharing, how can i share all of my music? It only shares the purchased songs from itunes.

I just got a new laptop, and need to share my itunes account from my previous laptop to this one.
Both laptops have updated Itunes accounts and are authorised and home shared.
However, on the new one it has only transferred across my Itunes store bought songs, not any of the other 800 songs from downloads or cds that i have put on.
How can i get these onto my laptop without using an external drive?
Thanks.

Unless you subscribe to itunes match, icloud has nothing to do with music. Are you syncing music from a computer's itunes to a device?

In ITunes when I'm using home sharing if I play the songs on another computer it cuts the songs off maybe 10 seconds plus from the end why is it doing this?

So I have ITunes Home Sharing on my desktop computer on. When I go to another computer and play the songs from the Home Share computer the songs get cut off maybe 10 seconds + at the end of the song. In other words it will not play the last 10 seconds of the song sometimes it's last 5 seconds sometimes its the last 15 seconds it seems to vary. I can't really find a pattern on the timing but I just don't understand why this is happening please help!

Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

The message that came up at the end was there are 6 problems. Can anyone help me?

Hello sherron13
Check out the first article to check out issues with your Home Sharing connection. If that does not work, then try to copy the songs using a different method from the second article.

Home Sharing - how to get music files to transfer from one computer to another...

I have two computers in my home authorised for Home Sharing - I have no problems locating the other library on either of my computers. However, when I am on iTunes in Computer A and I click onto Computer B's music library (so that I can transfer music file to Computer A) I am unable to move Computer B's music into Computer A. I have both iTunes open on each computer and ther are both using the same Wifi connection.
In iTunes Help, it says:
     - select the music files that I want to share into Computer A. (this bit I can do).
     - in the 'show' menu at the bottom of the iTunes window, select 'items not in my library'. This is where I run into trouble - there does not appear to be any such menu!
     - select items I wish to import, then click on 'import'. - again, no such button appears to exist!
I have updated my iTunes software to the latest version available on both computers. This is very frustrating for something that should be quite simple - I would very much appreciate any suggestions or solutions...

Hi arastis10,
If you are having issues transfering songs between computers set up for Home Sharing, you may find the following articles helpful:
Apple Support: Understanding Home Sharing
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819
With Home Sharing, you can stream music and video from one authorized computer to another, or simply drag music between computer libraries. You can also choose to have iTunes automatically import purchases you make on any of your Home Sharing computers to your own library. To do so, select the library and use the Settings button at the lower right of the iTunes window to check what you'd like copied.

Transfering Music using Home Sharing with iTunes 9.2.1

I used home sharing on many occasions in earlier versions of iTunes just for playing music. The shared libraries had a small house icon next to them. Everything was fine and dandy until I decided to step it up a bit, by attempting to transfer music from my main library (on my iMac with iTunes 9.2.1) to my PC laptop (running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with iTunes 9.2.1). A cryptic error message was shown when i tried to drag a song from my shared iMac library to my hard drive library (on my pc), following the icon for the library changing to a blue stack of music notes. I then tried the reverse, attempting, on my imac, to change the home sharing settings so that my library would sync with my pc's library, after which the icon changed to the blue stack of music notes. In both cases, the "Settings..." button and "Import" buttons disappeared as shown in the following graphic:
http://km.support.apple.com/library/APPLE/APPLECAREALLGEOS/HT3819/HT38195-en.png
Both computers now will play each other's library music but will not allow for me to change home sharing settings nor transfer the music.
If anyone knows how to rectify this issue or can better explain why iTunes is acting this way, please respond to this post. Your responses will be greatly appreciated.

in order for home sharing to work
(a) iTunes on all machines must be authorized for the same iTunes store account
(b) all machines must be on the same network
(c) all machines must have access to the internet.

I have many devices with itunes and want them all to have the same music in same location without home sharing, I have many devices with itunes and want them all to have the same music in same location without home sharing - how can I do this?

I have 3 ipads and 2 iphones in the house. Each one was set up on a different computer.
How can I get it so I have all the music in one location without having "home sharing" to switch back and forth with?

Hi,
Itunes match is one solution. You must use the same apple ID on all computers.
Start match on one computer and once match has completed its process, add match to the second computer. Match will scan for music in that computers itunes library and once complete you will see all the music in cloud from first computer - this will be available to download on second computer.
When you go back to the first computer, you will now have second computers music avalable for download. Continue process on other computers.
Alternatively to could use home sharing to move music from one computer to another by using "Not on this Computer Option" when viewing shared libraries.

This problem, for reasons unknown to me, has resolved itself on its own. After several attempts finally everything decided to work. How does stuff like this happen? Thank you.

Home Sharing - How the **** do I contact Itunes support?

On the contact page it's very specific about email support covering certain topics, phone support covering others, Express lane... etc.. And I don't know where to go about home sharing.
I cannot get home sharing to work between my home mac and my dell laptop. When I try to log onto home sharing on my mac, it says: "An error occurred."
I just want to talk to someone at the itunes support about it but I'm don't know how. It's very confusing. :/

To contact iTunes Support go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'. You will see a link to 'Express Lane', which will guide you eventually to some contact options.

When transfering songs in home sharing how do i also keep my individual song settings?
