Why are certain songs being transferred over to my laptop over and over again through Homesharing even though they are already in my new library?

So I recently bought a new Windows laptop and tried using homesharing to transfer my songs from my computer, but I got really frustrated and confused. Certain songs keep being transferred through homesharing to my new library even though I already have a copy of the song in the library. I checked to see if I had the actual file in my media folder and it was there, so why do the songs keep being copied? And, if possible, can someone also explain how to transfer playlists? I know Apple said to export/import playlist but what does that mean?

Yup, same issue.
Playlist - Right-click on the playlist and select export, it will create a .txt file.
On the other computer File/Library/Import Playlist, select the txt.file.
Or, just select the Playlist in homeshare and select it and hit import.
For some reason when you select "Items not in my library" it is does not show files correctly, if you purchased it in iTunes, they show correctly, or if you loaded them, they don't.

  • I have setup iCloud on my PC (running Windows 7 64-bit) but when I attempt to setup my iPhone 3GS and iPad, both running 5.0.1, I receive an incorrect user name and/or password error message even though they are the correct ones.

    After receiving the error message, the iPhone locks up while the message " veriffying" is displayed.

  • Why do I get message that Flash player is in use and can't be installed even though I have uninstalled it?

    Using Windows7, attempting to install Flash Player version 17.0.0.134
    I download the installer, specifically from the site for Firefox, and uninstall previous version and yet I get this message.
    Have tried several times to update and now to do new install and it is impossible. I am without the previous version, which didn't work on
    Firefox anyway, and now can't install new version. Please help.

    Hi Norman,
    lease try the following:
    Download the uninstaller from Uninstall Flash Player | Windows
    Download the Flash Player installer for Firefox, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page in the 'Still having problems section.
    Run the uninstallerThis will remove all versions of Flash Player installed on the system except for the ActiveX Control for Internet Explorer
    Reboot your system
    Install Flash Player using the installer downloaded in step 2
    After installation completes, launch Firefox, navigate to Flash Player Help and click the 'Check Now' button.
    Results should indicate that you have the latest version, 17.0.0.134, installed.

  • Why users are not able to see certain printers even though they are in the Airgroup server table

    Q: Why users are not able to see only certain printers even though they are in the Airgroup server table ?
    A: In certain scenarios  we may notice  printers come up under the server /cache entries on the controller.
    However when an airgroup user does search for printer, they may not see all the printers, certain printers may be not visible .
    This is because the service IDs sent by the user in the MDNS query are not broadcast by these printers 
    In the below capture the Ipad sends query for service id "_universal_sub_ipp_tcplocal" and "_universal_sub_ipps_tcplocal" and hence the controller will 
    respond with the printers that broadcasts these service ids.

    In order to learn other printers we may need to use specific app provided by printer vendor on the client or configure the printers to send these service IDs.

    The net 451 issues made it not work after a while but it affected the entire RWW site not just remote access:

    Careful if you try and uninstall it, you'll need to put back net 4.0 and reconfigure some stuff.

  • Why is it that some songs get listed on their own even though they are part of an album?

    Why is it that some songs get listed on their own even though they are part of an album? They are always songs that I had on my computer not imported from a cd using iTunes. I have verified that all the info is correct and matches the other songs in the album. Sometimes I can check the "compilation" box on all the songs in the album and that will put them in order and in the same listing. I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure this out.

    Good One CL.
    What I did in this case is select all the songs in the album and select Get Info and see if  Album Artist and Album and Sort Artist and Sort Album Artist and Sort Album are the same.

  • Why are many tracks in my library now just labeled "track 9" etc ?

    why are many tracks in my library now just labeled "track 9" etc ?

    If they have the cloud icon then they are in the cloud, not on your iPod. You can turn off the showing of iCloud music via Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music (under 'show all' heading) 'off'.
    But if you have never bought/downloaded those songs then they shouldn't show in the cloud for streaming/redownloading - the U2 album was an exception, Apple automatically added that to everyone's account whether they wanted it or not. It's your account that shows as being logged in in Settings > iTunes & App Store ?

  • Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the Itunes Media file directory

    Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the itunes Media Dir.  I have spent hours trying to find out why so I moved the songs out of the Music/itunes/itunes media and uninstalled itunes.  I then restarted my pc and re-installed itunes.  When I opened itunes the same songs are still there (but cannot be played as cannot find location) even though I have not put anything back in the itunes media dir.  To me there seems to be a refreshing problem as itunes is not looking at the directory even through the advanced preferences area is mapped to the correct area.
    Help please.
    Thanks

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.
    See also Make a split library portable for some thoughts on best practice when it comes to organizing the library and media files.

    I am unable to transfer my songs from my ipad to my iPhone even though they are both registered to the same apple Id

    How are you trying to accomplish this? You can't transfer media directly from one iDevice to another. You should be transferring your purchased items to your iTunes library on the computer you sync them with, then syncing them from there.
    You should be able to re-download media from the iTunes store using the same Apple ID used to purchase it to begin with.

  • Why does Indesign say I have missing fonts even though they are in my packaged document?

    I use CS4 on my pc at work, and always package my files, as I have always done on my mac at home, to keep the links and fonts together so that when I send someone a folder, all of the fonts and images work.  For some reason, the packaged graphic designs (created on a mac) that are being sent to us from our graphic designer, all of my fonts are lost - even after having purchased the main one that we use - Gotham - to prevent this from happening.  This also occurs with any designs that I package and send out to others in our office.  I always have to relink the Gotham fonts, and I cannot retrieve the formatting for the fonts that we don't have, even though they are packaged. 
    We are considering purchasing a mac for me to use in the office, but I'd like to make sure that it is not user error before we proceed.
    Any ideas would be wonderful.  I never had this problem with my mac at home with packaging, and it has me confused and frustrated at work.
    Thanks!

    Since CS6 is the current release, upgrading to CS5 is a near impossibility, and EVERYONE will need to upgrade in lockstep or you'll be worse off than you are now with users of your newer version creating files that cannot be opened by users of CS4 (and your CS4 packages won't automatically install the fonts in the documents in the later versions without manually changing the names of the packaged fonts folders).
    As far as font formats, if you are going to collaborate cross-platform, the font of choice is OpenType, which is 100% cross-platform compatible, and second choice is Windows TrueType which also can be installed on Mac OS X (so, essentially, also cross-platform). Last choice would be to use Windows Type1 which can be installed in the private InDesign Fonts folder in the Mac applications folder and will work in ID, but nowhere else. Any of these would allow everyone to use the same fonts, presuming you all purchase the same versions. Purchasing Windows versions and Mac versions of the same font usually works, but there may be little surprises, and you probbly don't want that.

    I was not complete clear.
    Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section.  If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
    If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
    But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
    In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.
