Why is the import button missing on Home Sharing?

I just got a MacBook Pro and when I open Home Sharing the import button is missing on my Mac but I am able to see it on my PC. I checked and I authorized both computers and have the same accounts on both also. I have turned Home Sharing "on" and "off" on both computers and there still isn't a solution. On my PC, by the Home Sharing tab is a house with a music note but on my Mac it doesn't look like that. I also checked and when I go to Preferences>Sharing, it says my Home Sharing is on but I don't have any devices connected to it. I don't want to re-download over 1,000 songs. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi lexipuppy,
I dont know if you have your music on your other computer was on itunes, but if it was, make sure that you signed into your itunes account on your other computer. If you are signed in then your music should show up in your library.

Why is the Flag button missing in the new iPhoto

I ugraded to iPhoto 9 and I really don't know why the flag button is missing in the bottom bar (beside share, edit etc.). It was there all the time before and one could easily flag any open photo (and I did it very often). And there is enough free space for that. These kind of "improvements" are beyond my understanding (( (or am I missing something ?)

iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
Alternative: Click on the top right hand corner of the photo or use the keyboard short cut (command-period)

Why is the share button missing for videos in photostream?

HT4527 Why is the import button not allowing me to click on it?

I am attempting to use home sharing to take all of my music from my PC to my new MacBook Air. I followed all of the directions listed on here about setting up home sharing, and everything seemed to be working fine until I got to the actual importing, which it will not allow me to do. Any suggestions?

Nevermind, I seem to have fixed the problem.

Why is the "overview" button missing from Preview scan?

When I try to scan something with Preview, the "overview" button no longer shows up in the menu. To the left of the scan button there's an empty button, but it doesn't function as the overview button. It functions the same as the scan button.

Why is the Refresh Button missing in the Firefox upgrade I just got??

There has always been a Refresh button in the toolbar at the top. It is not there anymore and I want it back. Please supply it.

If you look at the very end of the address area, after the star, you should see a reload button. Actually, it changes depending on the page status: after loading, it's reload, during loading it's stop, and if you start typing into the address box, it turns into go.
If you prefer separate buttons, you can use the Toolbar customization feature to move the combined button away from the end of the address box and/or split the reload and stop (change the sequence to prevent them from recombining).
View menu > Toolbars > Customize
If you have the orange Firefox button, tap the Alt key or press F10 to display the classic menu bar.
In some cases, it is easier to press Ctrl+r or the F5 key than to find the little button.

I am trying to home share with my sister. I have it down to where I can copy the songs, but I just don't have the "import" button. So it won't allow me to do anything with the songs from her computer. What should I do now?

I am trying to home share with my sister. I have it down to where I can copy all the songs I want, but it won't allow me to import them because my iTunes doesn't show the "import" button at the bottom. So what do I do now?

I have reinstalled the drivers. I watched it install the realtec and cirrus drivers. Hovering the mouse over the speaker icon says 'speakers: HP'. They are actually 'Creative'. 'Properties' indicates 'IDT High Definition CODEC' and 'This device is working correctly'.
Driver details gives 'c:\Windows\system32\drivers\dmk.sys'.
There is still no sound, although the little level meter on the control shows a green bar rising and falling.
Obviously, it thinks it's working, but there's no connection to the speakers. They're not muted, either. I checked that too.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

There is no need to import anything or use Home Sharing.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer, everything will be exactly as it was.

check the lower right corner of the iTunes window
if you don't see this while the homeshared library is loaded, home sharing hasn't been set up properly.

no.
that's expected behavior.

Home sharing wont let me click the import button when I try to import songs from one computer to another.

I can see the import button but it wont let me click on it.

The above article did not help me, I was having the same issue. The import button was "greyed out". But this article did help...mostly:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
I successfully moved my music from my old computer running Windows XP to a laptop running Windows 7. I could never get the import button to be "active" but I randomly tried selecting all the music I could view from my old computer on the new computer using Home Sharing and dragging it to Library on the new computer. It immediately starting copying the files, and then, and only then, the Import button became "active" i.e. not greyed out. But I did not need to click on it at that point because the files were being copied to the Library of the new computer.
I then followed the article I mention above to get my playlists transferred as well. All is good after a very frustrating morning of research. There are many posts on forums about the "greyed out" issue; none of the answers I could find worked for me. This did. 3,000 songs and all in their proper playlists!

Do you have scroll bars enabled in the System Preferences > General tab (MacOS X 10.7 or later)?
Try, if setting this to "Show scroll bars > Always" will bring your scrollbar back.

HT4527 I completed all of the steps to transfer my library from one computer to another through home sharing, but the "Import" button is faded like I cannot use it and it won't let me import and complete the final step. How do I fix this?

Its in the title.

Nothing in the instructions about transferring via "HomeSharing" states to use the Import button.
Have you actually read the instructions?
What specific step are you having an issue with?
The article from which your question was posted provides details on how to transfer the iTunes library multiple ways, did you try one of the other methods?
