Why can't I get iTunes to work on my parents' wifi network?

I am home for the holidays, and I cannot play any of my music through the cloud, or preview songs in iTunes using my parents' wifi network. I can connect to the internet through their wifi network to search using safari, and I can browse and search within the iTunes store. Nothing happens when I try to preview songs in the store, or listen to music or watch TV shows in my library, though. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be going on? Thanks!

    This article is vague and unhelpful. My iTunes needs help from a pro.
    I have over 120,000 songs -- NO movies, TV, radio, or books...
    I have other programs which efficiently run things which are not audio-based.
    So why can I not get iTunes working well?? It now takes at least 10 secs for any operation to be completed!
    That is just plain evil. But I am sure I could do something to help.
    All the music is on an 2T external drive.

    TS1717 as noted in the thread title...
    Brigancook, is the library database on the external or just the media? iTunes reevaluates smart playlists and rewrites its database after every action on the library. I've found this can make a library half that size, with a lot of smart playlists, quite sluggish. That said I'm aware part of my problem is aging hardware. Having the database on the internal drive may improve performance if it is currently on the external.
    I'd expect to see an exponential relationship between size and response time which may explain what you see. Cutting down on the number of smart playlists might help. If we're really lucky the long awaited iTunes 11 might have streamlined some of the background processes as well as cleaning up the front end.

  • Why can't i get it to work on any of my MAC products?

    why can't i get it to work on any of my MAC products?

    If you mean that your iPad is not appearing in iTunes then have you got the latest version of iTunes (it needs version 10.2 +) and is your OS X version 10.5.8 + ? There is further troubelshooting help here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591

  • A Playlist idiot. Why can't I get this to work?

    In iTunes I have music Playlists set to shuffle (blue double arrow button) and audio books Playlist set no shuffle. I have been unable to get my iPod to follow these settings. A suggested work around is to use the iPod Settings to set the shuffle function to "songs" when playing music and then switching to “off’ for audio books. There has to be a better way. How do I set the Playlists on my iPod to function the same as it does on iTunes?

    LeftyLucy,
    Using your process are you able to set your iPod to shuffle then listen to the audio book without it shuffling the chapters? I have tried your suggestion with the iPod setting set to shuffle and the chapters shuffled. This is the issue from my original post. I want to listen to music with the shuffle function and listen to audio books (no shuffle) without having to change the settings every time I switch.
    Keep in mind that is not a purchased audio nor a imported book.
    Using a tip from the following post:

    I have attempted to make the audio book file into an authenticate file but that did not help.

  • Why can't I get actions to work? BAFFLED

    Hi, I'm a graphic designer, really not up to speed in the web world. I made myself an idiosyncratic little website using edge animate, learning from the built it lessons (I would appreciate any feedback concerning as I'm stumbling around here, if anyone can be bothered )
    I wanted to add an email link to the end of it, also, some kind of 'skip to the end' feature that appears from the beginning, and eventually a link to a portfolio site. But I can't get ANY actions to work.
    However, when I make a new file, I can do all these things. I can draw a rectangle, and make it clickable so that it jumps to the end, or opens an external site. It does this as expected, when I 'preview in browser'. But my main animation that I've spent hours mucking around with, does nothing. Mouse clicks do absolutely nothing...
    So, I'm baffled, and any help would be appreciated greatly.
    Here's my site, its a simple html thing with the edge animation embedded. I'd never offer these services for a client, but I thought I might be able to cobble something together for myself. As I said, any feedback would be welcome, as I'm stumbling around a bit. Ok a lot.

    thank you!

    Thanks!
    I'll past the code below, but actually it think this eror relates to a symbol I created when I was trying to get an email link working, and I forgot to delete it. Though it didn't work, I'm not sure it has much to do with WHY I couldn't get actions to work in the first place, as nothing else I tried, very simple things like a link to an external webpage worked either. Yet they did when I attempted it with a new animate project. Not sure.
    the whole project is here as a zipped file.
    http://www.antenna.net.nz/animatebafflement/published.zip
    and here is that code as mentioned. And thanks for your help!
    (function($,Edge,compId){var Composition=Edge.Composition,Symbol=Edge.Symbol;
    //Edge symbol: 'stage'
          Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "${_arrow}", "click", function(sym, e) {
             // insert code for mouse click here
             sym.stop();
    (function(symbolName){     
    })("stage");
       //Edge symbol end:'stage'
       //=========================================================
       //Edge symbol: 'Symbol_1'
       (function(symbolName) {  
          Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "${_email}", "click", function(sym, e) {
             // insert code for mouse click here
             var emailer = window.open("mailto:[email protected]?subject=Are you my designer?");// sym.$("name") resolves an Edge Animate element name to a DOM
          //Edge binding end
       })("Symbol_1");
       //Edge symbol end:'Symbol_1'
    })(jQuery, AdobeEdge, "EDGE-20179367");

  • I can't get itunes to load on the computer at all! I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing! Why can't I get itunes to open??

    I can't get itunes to open from my desktop. When I click on the icon nothing happens. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing. Why isn't itunes working??

    On my PC I had a problem where the iTunes store would only display a blank white page, I managed to display my account settings, but nothing for music, etc
    I treid this and it has immediately sorted it out...

    then simply enter 'netsh winsock reset' and return
    after restarting the PC and loading up iTunes the store was there fine  ;-)
    I posted this on some other threads and it has been successful for the other people that have tried it

  • TS4062 Why can't I get iTunes to sync with my iPad over wifi?

    After doing everything suggested in the troubleshooting guide, I still cannot get iTunes to recognize my device (iPad) unless I use direct USB connection.  I even selected the wifi checkbox in iTunes when my USB cable was connected.  This happened after I downloaded the latest version of iTunes (it worked fine before).

  • OK about as far as I can go with getting iTunes to work

    I have about 60k songs, 9k TV episodes and 2k movies.
    All the video is in native H.264 format.
    I have been struggling to get iTunes to run without constant lockups, timeouts and stalls for up to 20 minutes all of which can be caused by selecting an item and selecting info or changing the Playlist to Random.
    I have moved every machine to Mac
    I have replaced every wireless device to Apple
    I have removed all non Apple products off the network.
    I have upgraded my main Mac to an i7 3,4GHz iMac, upgraded the memory to 8GB
    I have moved all the media from USB DAS boxes to Firewire800 DROBOs
    I have moved the 300GB Music collection to the boot HDD.
    And still it stalls, splutters, locks up and dies.
    Most annoying and really embarrassing .......
    I have rebuilt the iMac, I have rebuilt the library
    I have nothing else running, iStat reports no network, HDD, or CPU activity and a big bunch of spare memory
    The only conclusion left is.....
    iTunes cannot handle it and to break the library up.
    So my next question is it better to run all the different iTunes libraries in different logins or should I look at running multiple VMs when Lion comes out and allows me to do it?
    Ideas, thoughts, observations all welcome, although comments like 'mine works fine' without definition are of little value....

    Well Lion seems to have fixed most of the perfromance issues with iTunes!!!
    First evidence is a massive performance improvment.
    Right click/Info used to take 20 seconds to get a result now instantaneous
    Right click/Delete used to take 1-2 minutes now instantaneous
    ATV2 would 8 times out 10 hang when trying to get TV Shows from iTunes, now takes 20 seconds, doesn't hang and allows very rapid journeys into and out of Show Seasons where it would normally stall then hang.
    Not conclusive but very good indicators none the less.... :-)

  • HT3529 why can't I get iMessage to work on iPad1?

    I can't get iMessage to work on iPad1

    Close the Messages app, then turn it off in the settings, reboot your iPad and after it starts up, turn Messages on again and see if it works.
    To close messages completely - Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the rhe messages icon. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Why can't I send e-mail when connected to some WiFi networks?

    At times when I can connected to other WiFi networks, I cannot send e-mail.
    I'm not sure if this is something in the settings for my e-mail, or related to the WiFi network.
    I am able to receive e-mails at that time.

    Check that you have set up the OUTGOING server as well as the incoming server. Follow the instructions in this technical support article to get to your outgoing server configuration. If none is configured, use the instructions to add the outgoing server according to your email provider's instructions.  If one is configured, verify that it is set up correctly.
