Why is home sharing showing up on one computer but not the other?

My homesharing is showing up on one computer but not the other! They are both under the same account and both iTunes are up to date. Unfortunatally, of course its showing up on the computer that I dont need it on. Please help me! Thanks!

It could be a firewall issue. Try disabling the firewall and see if that helps.

Home sharing shows up on one computer but not the other. Help

I am trying to use home sharing it shows up on my older computer but no home sharing on my new computer. Using the same apple id for both. I need help.

Home sharing library loads on one computer but not the other

I have turned on Home Sharing (using the same account for both) on two computers. One of them loads the other's library, but the other either continually says it is attempting to load, or immediately reverts back to the normal Music library screen.
I have spent several hours searching the Internet to find suggestions but nothing seems to be working:
I have downloaded the newest version of iTunes
I have tried setting up a new account, de-authorising the computer on all accounts except the new one
I have turned off the sharing located under the Preferences tab
I have made sure that iTunes is not blocked by a firewall
I have checked that the Bonjour service is running
I have tried turning everything off and starting all over again
I would welcome a new solution! Thank you!

TS2972 Homesharing shows up on one computer but not the other one.

Homeshare shows up on my desktop but not my laptop. I can acces the laptop library from the desktop fine but the desktop does not even show up on the laptop. Both iTunes versions are the most current. I have tried turning Homeshare off and back on and closing and reopening iTunes. No luck. I have checked firewall settings. Desktop has windows vista and laptop windows 7. Any suggestions?

EDIT:
After turning homesharing on and off, closing and reopening iTunes, and waiting, it finally connected. Oddly there are two libraries showing up. Anyway, problem solved for me! If only I could delete this question now, haha.

Home sharing between accounts works one way but not the other

My husband and I each have separate user accounts on my Macbook.
I have turned on Home Sharing in each user's iTunes, and I can see my husband's library (which only contains one song) but he cannot see mine.
He's just got a new iPhone, and I want to sync it to his contacts and calendar etc on his account, but that'll mean he'll have no music.
Any idea where I've gone wrong?

I'm having the same problem - my Mac mini, which I bought to act as an iTunes server, can see my MacBook Air's library, which has hardly anything, since it has hardly any storage, but my Air can't see my mini!

Screen Sharing/File works on one computer but not the other???

Two computers, both running the exact same version of Snow Leopard.
One is a Unibody MacBook Pro 2.66, the other 27" iMac i7. The MacBook Pro can't connect to the iMac, but I can get the iMac to connect to the MacBook Pro to pull files and screen share (pull files from MacBook, while on iMac).
My settings seem to be exactly the same. I've gone over them again and again (in sharing) is there something I might be overlooking?
Is there a firewall that might be enabled on one? Something else?

HI,
The MacBook Pro can't connect to the iMac
Just checking... open System Preferences / Sharing. Make sure File Sharing and Screen Sharing are selected.
You may have to click the gold padlock icon bottom left corner of that pane to make changes. You will be prompted for your admin password.
Firewall on or off shouldn't make a difference.

Homesharing library shows up on one computer but not the other

So tonight I just connected my two computers, a Windows Vista and a Windows 7, with homesharing. Although it worked at first, I turned off the computers, then returned to them, wanting to homeshare again. I noticed the Vista connected but the 7 did not. Instead, it kept saying on the top bar "Checking [username]'s library for new purchases". If I click on the libary's name in the left panel, it disappears. I went to Advanced settings; the view of shared libraries was checked on; I turned the view of the library off then back on, then returned to the left panel. I was able to click on it but the list was simply empty and it just said it was loading. It has been saying that for the past ten minutes. I've tried many different solutions but nothing has helped so far.
Sharing is on, checked, viewable, but nothing happens.
Tried turning Homesharing off and closing iTunes on both computers.
Tried resetting the wireless router.
If there's any other suggestions, please explain them clearly so even a noob like me would understand. ^_^; Thanks!

"printer is offline" appears on one computer but not the other (both windows 7)

printer is offline" appears on one computer but not the other (both windows 7)

This is pretty common to see when your firewall kicks in and blocks certain communication paths the printer takes.
Here's a list of ports and programs that when allowed through the firewall, will restore communiction.
Ports to open:
UDP ports: 427, 161, 139
TCP ports: 9200, 9220, 9290, 9500
Programs to allow:
hpiscnapp.exe
hpoews01.exe
hpofxm08.exe
hposfx08.exe
hposid01.exe
hpqkygrp.exe
hpqste08.exe
hpqtra08.exe
hpznui01.exe
hpzwiz01.exe
SLP_Service (also known as UDP 427)
Have your security software provider walk you through allowing these items through your firewall.
If this does not fix your issue, it is most likely an issue with the driver configuration. Your router may have assisgned the printer a new IP address and this can be changed in the properties of the existing driver.

Ipod works on one computer but not the other?

Can someone please help me? My ipod works on my laptop but not the desktop. When I plug the Ipod into the desktop it sometimes shows up in Itunes but says it's corrupt. Which it obviously isn't because it works fine on it's own when not plugged into a computer and it works fine when I plug it into the laptop. Also when I looked in my computer the Ipod would show up as drive j and it would flash on and off. Well, I tried plugging the Ipod into a different port and that worked as far as drive j stopped flashing on and off. I tried changing the drive name and it wouldn't let me because it always went back to drive j even after I changed it to drive z. Itunes is playing music and is up to date. I have Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit. Please help.

Well start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

I am able to access home sharing on one computer but not the other

Both computers have updated versions of iTunes. I am able to access my brother's iTunes, which is on hard wire as well as mine, but I am unable to access my mom's laptop which is on the Wi-Fi. Does that make a difference for they are all part of the same network. I am able to see her home share on the left bar, but it just loads for a while then disappears. Also, she is able to access my home sharing from her laptop which just baffles me even more.

Power cycle the router and try 192.168.1.1 instead.

How do you get the sharing taskbar on iTunes? I have it on one computer but not the other and need it to transfer songs! Help!!

Whilst transferring songs from computer to computer, I went onto the old computer and enabled home sharing so that now both computers have home sharing and I 3was about to select which songs I wanted to tranfer, but I do not have the sharing taskbar on the left side of the iTunes page! I don't know where it is and whether I used to have one, but I really need help finding it!

ICal Subscription Works On One Computer But Not The Other

I subscribed to a web based iCal subscription. The subscription refreshes on my Mac Mini but not on my desktop, which is connected to my iPhone. The iPhone therefore doesn't get the subscription contents either. I've tried deleting and resubscribing but nothing works.

Hey Valenz0711,
That definitely sounds frustrating. There are a few different reasons it may not be working on the iMac (iTunes is not up-to-date, Firewall Settings). The following article may provide more information on a resolution:

Why have my mac mail sent messages disappeared on one computer but not the other?

My mac mail account on my Air is not showing my sent messages other than the one I just sent. To find the variables, I checked my mac mail on my iMac and my sent messages are there.
Not sure what the problem is but I look forward to some help.
Thanks.

I note that I just found all previous sent messages in the separate sent messages folder on my sidebar (minus the message that appears in my regular Sent Mailbox). I just moved these to the Sent mailbox and will wait to see if they appear there (in the sent mailbox) once it has processed this action.

How to have iMessages show up on one device but not the other?

So I have an iPhone, a MacBook and an iPad that I own and use, this year my school "gave" (we pay for it but it belongs to the school and have to give it back, go private education!) each student an iPad so now i have one from them as well. I use a different Apple ID for my school iPad than I do for my personal devices so that information from my personal devices doesn't end up on the schools iPad which has a massive amount of spyware on it so they can literally see everything we do. I have it set up for iMessage so my 3 personal devices are all synced and use my phone number from my iphone to iMessage, but my school iPad only uses the email from the Apple ID I made specifically for that iPad. I was wondering if there was a way that the iMessages I receive on my school iPad (via the email) can also be received on my other personal devices, but NONE of the messages or other data received on my phone (via my phone number) also be received on the school iPad. So in essence a sort of one way channel. Thanks in advance!
P.S.- I don't just use the messages to text my friends I use it for professional purposes also as I am on the executive board of several charities and also a high ranking member of my fathers company.

No, the scenario you describe is not possible. Sorry.
