Why would all songs not 'share'?

I have set up home sharing on 2 computers but there are not the same # of songs showing from my main library on the secondary computer.Why would some songs not 'share'?

Hello there, Tony.
When trying to group various tracks into compilations albums, the following Knowledge Base article provides the steps on how to acomplish that:
Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together? - Apple Support
Albums with various artists
Some albums include songs from multiple artists. Because of this iTunes may display them as separate album as shown below:
You can mark these songs as a compilation in iTunes. In iTunes 8 and later, you find the option to mark multiple items as "Part of a compilation" in the Options tab of the Multiple Item Information window.
To do this in iTunes 7, select all the songs that you want to be included in the compilation and select Get Info from the file menu and select Yes in the Compilation menu as shown below. After clicking OK iTunes will group all the selected songs together.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

HT204406 why do all songs I purchase from Itones show up as duplicates in my song Liabary? One with a cloud and one without.

Why do all songs I purchase from I Tones show up as duplicates in my Song Liabary? One has a cloud and one doesn't.

Did you possibly do the update for new itunes software ? That may be the culprit.To get rid of the entry with cloud,go to Preferences.Go to Store.UNCHECK show itunes in cloud purchases.Click OK..This does not delete,merely hides.Good luck.

Why would a song I purchased from iTunes be ineligible for iTunes match?

Why would two songs I purchased from iTunes be ineligible for iTunes match? Both are part of a total album and the rest were uploaded okay.
Thx

Are they old songs that you may have purchased from a different store id years ago?
If your have old purchased songs that are drm protected and they are not associated with the store id that you are currently using then they will not be eligible.
I would burn to a disc and then rip back to your library.
Burn to the cd. Deletel the old files from your libary and delete the files don't keep them. Rip the cd back.
After you have tested the ripped songs back then empty your trash, or back up the old drm protected songs in a seperate folder.

Why are my songs not completing play?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try restarting iTunes.

Why are my songs not numbered?

Hi,
In advance preferences, you can tell iTunes how to organise your library. Tick keep iTunes organised and copy files to iTunes media folder.
If this I has already been done, you may need to add track numbers from get info.

Where exactly are you looking and what do they look like, there are several iCloud icons used in iTunes.

Why would certain users not be able to open a mail to url from a Flash swf on my website?

Why would certain users not be able to open a mail to url from a Flash swf on my website?

1. Because they're using Android or iOS and can't see the Flash container.
2. Because they have Flash Player, but NOT Shockwave, which works for Interactive content like games and links in Flash containers.
3. ActiveX controls are blocking Flash content in IE.
4. Any of about a dozen other things.
As a web desginer since 2003, I can tell you that these days, it's a terrible idea to have Flash content in a website (outside of games that require it). Video should be HTML5. Navigation, content and other links should be HTML, CSS and/or Javascript ONLY, because placing them in a Flash container makes them invisible to literally half of your viewers or more, since SmartPhones can't and don't see Flash, and tablets don't either without special browsers, which may or may not work with embedded links.

Daughter had to get new iPhone why would we now not see each others text messages?

My daughters iPhone 4S was permantly damaged by update 2 weeks ago. Apple sent her a new phone. Now I can't see her texts and mine to her are shiwingbup in squares that look mor like code than words or she does not get them at all
He new phone was setup , according to her, using cloud by her husband.she says she has no problem with texting anybody but me
The exception is when she texted me 2 times while in the car, we had a whole conversation by text without a problem. But from home or work the problem described exists I should say I have never had a problem texting anybody but her, and only since she got the new iPhone
Any ideas as to why this would be, are appreciated help?

Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure only the phone number is checked.
The best way to resolve this is to not share Apple IDs but the steps above will resolve the duplicate iMessage issues.

Why would a movie not be viewable on .Mac if I limit access to a user?

I'm trying to post a iMovie to my .Mac and make it viewable by a certain user and password as opposed to viewable by anyone.
The movie, per iMovie, indicates that it is published to .Mac yet when I try and view it my browser (Safari) just keeps saying "loading".
Yet when I post the movie and set it Viewable by everyone - it works no issues.
Why would there be an issue when I limit who it is viewable by?
Thanks for any insight and assistance.

SOLUTION: Added a partition on the harddisk via disc utility (leopard install dvd), and installed leopard on the new partition (use same user name as on old partition if your trying to obtain files on old partition in your user folder - it might make a difference I'm not sure just did it as a precaution) after booting go back and access the files from the old partition. The old partition will show up on desktop when you login to the new partition, copy those suckers(files) over to a external or media source.
Finally if you cant figure the next step out you could completely reformat your whole harddisk install leopard over, and copy the files back over from the external, if your copying library files (applications), i doubt they will work the same on the complete HD reformat.
Happy Macing ppl =]
If this seems like all too much work for you, maybe someone else has a easier method, because the thought of installing leopard just to recover files is quite time consuming, but it worked in the end so it doesn't matter for me.

Why are some songs not fully downloading?

Most of the songs that I've downloaded lately are not playing fully. They're stopping less than halfway through and skipping to the next song. I know this is happening to others also, is there any way I can fix this? It's rather unfair, since my mum has payed for all these songs, yet there's no point even buying them if I can't listen and enjoy them. Thus, I was wondering is there anything I can do, or must it be repaired by iTunes? Also, have iTunes aknowledged this problem? Thanks!

Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player or another media player? If it does then it is an iTunes issue. If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt. If you are in a country where re-downloading is possible (iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085), delete the track and download again (Downloading [using iOS or computer] past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519). See tips on downloading in https://discussions.apple.com/message/19097773
Other possible considerations:-
Is your iTunes up to date?

https://discussions.apple.com/message/17382022 - Problem was incomplete files due to poor WiFi connection
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17661693 - issue resolved by re-downloading files or rebuilding library file [note, although the poster says this restored all, my understanding is the .xml file does not retain all the details of the original library file].

Incomplete playback seems to be reported several times a day here. I don't recall this happening before iTunes 10. I would suggest posting feedback to Apple so they aware of an issue.

Why would Safari 6 not cache certain cacheable resources?

In our web application, which uses GWT, we have many Javascript resources. In the case of the GWT module's Javascript, the resource is 790kB (226kB gzipped). All the other Javascript and stylesheet resources are cached, but Safari 6 doesn't cache this one for some reason. Some points that may be important:
- Our server sends this javascript gzipped, and the response does include the header
Cache-Control: public,max-age=31536000
and I can see this response header, along with a confirmation that this resource is not cached, using the Safari developer extensions.
- The URL has a .html extension, as is the pattern with GWT applications (it has to do with bootstrapping the module). I don't know if this is relevant, but it is the only difference I could identify between this resource versus others that are cached.
- This is happening with Safari 6 on Mac OS 10.8.*. Chrome and Firefox on Mac, as well as the IE versions on Windows that we've tested do cache this javascript resource.
- In my particular Safari environment, there are no extensions installed or enabled, and caching is definitely not disabled (and as I mentioned, all the other static resources that have the same Cache-Control header are cached as expected).
Has anyone else experienced an issue like this with a GWT web application or otherwise? Is the .html extension the the cause of issue? If so, why would Safari care about the content type of the resource when it comes to whether or not to cache it, as long as the appropriate HTTP response headers are set? And why would it behave differently from other browsers?
I spent some time searching for a similar question or discussion but I could not find anything here or anywhere else.

Same problems here on that site with Safari 6.0.5

Why would a URL not be formatted as a clickable link?

I run a service that sends A2P SMS messages that provide a link to weekly content. This week, a user reported to me that the URL was displayed but it was not a clickable link. AFAIK, there was no difference in the message except the exact link. I've attached a screenshot the user provided me.
Why would this be the case?
Justin

You may have ActionScript problems that affect the link.
You need to ask in the Flash Professional forum.
Or, the users may not be able to see the Flash Container.
Considering the number of users these days on SmartPhones, who can't access Flash content, the worst thing you can possibly do for navigation and links is to put them in a Flash container and render them invisible to such a larg portion of your visitors.

Why would Shape Builder not allow Selecting (for a join)?

(As background . . . I ran through Terry White's excellent "10 things" for Illustrator video. I even built the Yin-Yang symbol myself, from scratch, after watching his video. So "I have" succeeded at least once in using Shape Builder.)
But, when I attempt to do . . . pretty much anything of my own design . . . I get stuck within the first minute and just have to quit and walk away. I appologize in advance if anything sounds bad . . . I'm FULLY MAXED OUT on both anger and frustration. Its just inconsolably frustrating how easy it is to get into a "mode" that . . . won't let you go any further.
Imagine drawing a cross. (Like if you took real 4" x 4"'s and made a physical one, and then traced the outline around that.)
I thought I'd draw one long vertical rectangle.
Then draw an overlapping shorter horizontal rectangle.
Then join the two together in Shape Builder so its one "bounded box" with no interior "crossing lines" in the central join.
I drew the two rectangles. Even got them centered vertically using the align button.
I select the Shape Builder and . . . . am immediately hopelessly stuck in one of two modes that won't let me continue further.
#1 (From a fresh "web" document) . . . I hover over the vertical beam (cross hatch appears, and the "+" appears because I'm in Shape Builder Add mode) and . . . cross hatch won't appear as I drag over the horizontal crossbeam.
Or . . . click (and hold) on the crossbeam . . . same thing . . . cross hatch appears, the "+" is there and . . . as I drag to the vertical beam to join . . . it won't go to crosshatch.
Or . . .
#2 (When I was originally trying to add this as part of a larger board) . . . I drew the same two rectangles, then upon choosing Shape Builder . . . I get an Arrow and a Circle with a Slash through it and am not allowed to select anything.
And can't find any sign, in any panel, of any "mode" I'm in (or not in) that would account for why selection is blocked.
I wasn't on the wrong layer (there is only one).
I've tried it (#1) from a new fresh drawing, and (#2) from inside a larger drawing (where I actually need it).
It takes less than 30 seconds from start to . . . . hopelessly blocked from proceeding.
Why wouldn't Shape Builder allow two pieces to join?
Why would Shape Builder show "not allowed to select"?
Thanks,
jkh

See, I'm in Shape Builder . . . Cross Hatch appears.
(Its probably too small on the image, but trust me . . . there is a "+" by the arrow.)
It was so simple on the Yin-Yang Cirle to Teardrop join . . . this is an EVEN SIMPLER image and . . . I'm stuck at step 1.

All songs not showing under artists name - even though spelling is the same

I have 8 songs by a particular artist. Only one shows under "artist". I have checked 5 times - spelling-everything is the same for the artist. All of the songs can be found under "songs". I have checked spellings over & over. What could be my problem?

There are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song is marked as part of a compilation or 2) the song has no album name associated with it.
if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. If you are using iTunes 8 and view the multiple items info box the compilations setting is in the "Options" tab. Setting "Compilations" on your iPod main menu prevents you getting lots of single artist entries when you load an album by various artists.
Also if the tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances (for instance I read somewhere that if you have at least two tracks with different album names the rest will appear), however the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
