Why can't I import songs from iTunes Home Sharing?

I have two Macs - mine and my dad's. Both computers have Home Sharing on and we are using the same iTunes Account.
We are able to see and play each other's music, but cannot import any songs.
Where other people seem to see a Home Share icon (the house), we only have blue playlist symbols.
Any ideas?

Restart both of your computers, and restart your Internet modem. Then try again. It may just be a glitch.

Why can't i sync songs from other sources in my library into my iPhone?

why can't i play songs from other sources in my liberay that i sync in my phone

Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

Why can't i delete songs from older i-pod touch, delete feature greyed out and right click or holding control and clicking do not offer delete option

Why can't i delete songs from older i-pod touch, delete feature greyed out and right click or holding control and clicking do not offer delete option in I-tunes. I've tried using both a Mac Book and PC with newer and older versions of I-tunes.

It sounds like you are try to delete the songs by connecting the iPod to other than the computer from which the songs were synced. You can only delete songs synced to an an older iPod (pre iOS 5) by connecting the iPod to its syncing computer and unsync them.
If you want to change syncing computers see:

Why can not I transfer songs from my computer to my iphone?

Why can not I transfer songs from my computer to my iphone?
The songs are on iTunes And I try to add them to my iPhone And it fails!
have tried many times, what am I wrong?
Thank you in advance!

Are you manually dragging and dropping files in an attempt to move music from your client itunes to your idevice? And seeing the process hang and potentially locking itunes?
I have been having similar issues, but recently found something that works for my ipad air. Not sure if this will help you but...
In your itunes client music library:
Right click on one music file
Hover over the Add to Playlist option
Select a playlist from your iphone in the side popup window
See if that helps move the music file over. If it does, test out the original drag and drop on a new file. The move to playlist option seemed to clear whatever blockage I had and I'm not dragging and dropping with ease.

HT1848 why can't I transfer songs from my itunes account to my ipod?

On my computer I have tons of songs on Itunes, how can I transfer those songs to my Ipod? I have already sync my Ipod. I also owe money to itunes, could that be the reason why I can't transfer purchased songs and burned songs from cds to my ipod?

You can transfer itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
Why not copy them from your old computer, ro your backup copy of your old computer?
No need for such a gross over reaction.

Why can't i import photos from a different user account?

Why when i import photos to iphoto from my user account it works fine. If i try importing them from the other user account it the photo it shows the event folder in the events page but when you go into it there are no photos, and when you close the app it dissappears completely. I dont understand why it is doing this? The iphoto library is actually from the other user account so there shoudnlt be any sharing issues. The only thing is that i iorignially installed on the other user account but it all started when i updated it to iphoto11 and installed it on my account. that shouldnt make a difference though??
Also if it is not possible to be able to import from both accounts how can i change it so that the other account is able to import only and not from my account?

I have the same iphoto library selected for both user acounts
How?
and share my photos is checked on both accounts from preferences.
If they use the same Library, why are you sharing this way?

Why can't I import songs into my iTunes?

Accidentally deleted all of my music for iTunes and stupidily emptied the trash but whatever, that's why Time Machine is great.
Simply put, got ALL my songs back from Time Machine and yet, iTunes seems to ignore anything I ask it to do. Can't drag and drop, can't "Add to library" (Command+O). No dialog box comes up or anything. Tried moving full folders and single song files and nothing happens whatsoever. Tried googling this, and everything is for Windows. I don't use my Mac all to often but my music is a must. I need my metal.
Using:
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
iTunes 11.0.2 (22) 64 Bit
Any ideas? Because this is weird. I've already been complaining that you can't simply drag and drop crap into an iPhone and now THIS? What's wrong with Apple? I'm seriously debating a virus filled world or stick with constant irritants like this crap. I mean c'mon. My music is RIGHT there, why can't I just drag them into iTunes? Why? They were all there JUST a couple hours ago, so it can't be an issue of whether I'm using MP3 or whatever... Right? Ugh..

Yes, it was all there, but as I said. iTunes acts like it isn't, and we're talking about thousands upon thousands of songs sitting in their respective folders.
I had talked to my brother in law and he did mention something about iTunes having it's custom file that saves the information for everything it has into one, and to find that one if possible. But how can I locate it if using Time Machine to restore all of my music did nothing? I restored any iTunes related (all in one folder honestly), so what's the deal?
Sorry for the very late reply, this is still a very concerning issue that needs to be desperately resolved, I have just been very busy.

I am using a macbook leopard why can't i bring songs from my playlist to my ipod i get an error message saying ipod can't be synced disk not found this just started happening

i am using a macBook Leopard and suddenly I can no longer ring my songs from my playlists to my ipods. I keep getting the message Ipod can't by syncd disk cannot be found. this has never happened before and I have 4 ipods that cannot be upedated or changed.

This happens with ALL of your iPods? So, it's probably not a problem on the iPod side of the connection.
If you have not recently (at least since this problem occurred), be sure to restart your Mac. At the same time, you can also Reset your iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
A Reset just restarts the iPod (it is not a Restore). Then try it again.
If that does not help, select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, on the Summary tab, if Enable Disk Mode is currently NOT checked, see if checking it and clicking Apply makes any difference. This is more of a test. If that setting makes a difference, it may provide a clue for the actual cause.

Why can I not buy songs from iTunes Music Store?

Earlier this year I moved from the U.S.A. to Sweden... changing my 'Mac.com' account address while doing so.
Last week, I tried to purchase some songs from the iTunes Music Store with my American MasterCard (a debit card) which is listed with my Swedish address at my U.S. bank. As I had never purchased at the iTunes M.Store before I was instructed to 'review my account'... which I did. It had my present Sweden address and my Mastercard listed as method of payment. Upon submitting the form, it was rejected, saying that my MasterCard was 'invalid for Sweden'! So I then go to the Apple-Sweden Store and purchase an iTunes Music Card which I receive in the mail the following day. Now I follow the Apple advice posted for purchasing music by redeeming an iTunes Music Card without listing a credit card (http://www.apple.com/se/support/itunes/store/giftcard/#GCA)... except there is no selection for NONE as indicated in these instructions.... So once again when I submit the form it is rejected, meaning that this time I have already spent money for the iTunes Music Card that is now worthless to me!
Is there another way I can redeem this card without going through that 'review account' window...?
I don't care to set up another account by setting up another e-mail address just to do this... as I want all of the Apple business to go through my Mac.com account as it should be configured to do so!

O.K. Everything seems to be in order now!
I don't know what happened but this is the results....
After attempting to edit change the information on my iTunesMS account at least 7 times, I posted the above question, logged out of iTunes, closed down all my apps and turned off my computer.
A few hours later, I thought I would give it one more try and when I turned on iTunes, went to the Music Store and then 'reviewed' my account... it had my old American address on it with the country listed as Sweden... I just left it alone, as it didn't have my credit card info listed at all... Curiously, I'm clueless about that (though I did send this same complaint to Apple during the first posting... did that have anything to do with it?) When I clicked the continue button (without changing any info) it prompted me that I was finished setting up my iTunes Music Store account and I was immediately able to download some songs....(using the iTunes Music card--- I have not tried my MasterCard!)
So basically, I did nothing except close iTunes, turn off my computer and later rebooted it and opened iTunes! Strange... does that seem like a fix or what?

HT3951 Why can't I purchase songs from other countries?

I am currently residing in Singapore, however there are artists releasing songs from the US and I can't seems to purchase them as my account is only limited to local purchases. What can I do about it??
Please assist.
Thank you,
Jason

Why? Licensing from the media companies. If an agreement hasn't been set up then Apple cannot sell the media. You can probably bet that if Apple can sell something they will because they are probably very happy to take your money.
You can see if another vendor in your country does sell the item.

Why can't I buy songs from Blutengel in Belgium?

Are you in Italy with an Italian iTunes account ? If not then you won't be able to buy content from its store, you need to be in a country with a billing address and account in that country to be able to buy from it (content is licensed to Apple to sell on a country-by-country-basis). If there are particular songs that you'd like to buy then you can try requesting that they be added to your country's store, but ultimately it's the record company's decisionas to whether they can be sold there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
