Will iTunes 10.6.1 on a 2005 iMac be able to home-share with iTunes 7 on a 2008 iMac and a new iPhone 5?

On the iPhone page I was told the iPhone 5 will work with iTunes 10.7, so maybe I shouldn't upgrade to iTunes 11 since a lot of people don't like it. Nobody here seems to know how to combine my two iTunes libraries on the same account but different-aged iMacs.
So the question is, if I upgrade my 2008 Intel iMac to Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion and iTunes 10.7, will it and my new iPhone 5 be able to access the 80GB library on the 10.6.1 version of iTunes on the older white 2005 iMac?
I appreciate any help anyone can give me.  I currently have home sharing via a WiFi network, to rephrase in case my previous unanswered questions haven't been clear, I'm wondering if I will be able to home-share between 10.6.1 and 10.7, and if an iPhone 5 would be able to access a home-shared library on the older 10.6.1 version?

Thanks for the link, Niel.  I'm kind of disappointed with Apple that they're making us buy an upgrade to her OS to get all of her Apple products to work together.  It seems weird that we could have any old Windows machine and this would work great, but the fact that she has a MacBook is screwing this up.

    If you have been using the mac.com Apple ID to make iTunes purchases recently, then there should be no issues continuing to use it with the new iPhone. I would abandon the new ID as you will never get Apple to merge the two IDs. I have had a mac.com ID for years and continue to use it with my iPhone 4S.
    Tell us the issues that you encounter trying to set up the iPhone with the mac.com account.

  • IMac 10.6.8, Snow Leopard with iTunes 11.0.1. loss of wifi speed when connecting a Bose Sound System via bluetooth

    Hello, I have an iMac 10.6.8, Snow Leopard with iTunes 11.0.1. When connecting my Bose Sound System via bluetooth the wifi downloadspeed goes from snappy to a crawl, disconnecting the bluetooth connection, the downloadspeed goes up again. Don't have this problems with the Sound System when connecting it to my iPad. I like to mention too, that the downloadspeed of my iPad is always better than of my iMac. Are there any experiences concerning this problem? Thank you in advance.

    UPDATE - PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!!
    You can thank me later - after an hour on the phone, I finally got through to a Senior Engineer.
    Apperently the issues lies with GRID VIEW.
    Open your Itunes, Click on TV SHOWS, then quickly change your view from GRID VIEW (Defaults to this) to List View and Viola!
    We tested it out on the phone just minutes ago, my problem is solved and I suspect if you guys try this yours will be too.

  • How to Home Share on Itunes

    I have a windows 7 OS and I amd trying to "Home Share" with my wife's windows 7 OS computer......
    I have read a few tutorials and they all describe the steps to achieve Home Sharing. The 2 problems I found when following the tutorials is first they all mention selecting "Advanced" drop down menu. I do not have an "Advanced" menu item???? Second, after I appear to have the home sharing functional, I do not see both of our 2 libraries on the left side panel of the Itunes app as shown in all tutorials. I am able to switch from one computer's Itunes library to the other computer's Itunes library. Because I can't see both libraries at the same time, all the movement of songs between the 2 libraries can't be accomplished as decribed in the tutorials. They all depend on both libraries being visible and accessible at the same time.
    What do I do to get both libraries visible on the left panel in Itunes in the windows environment.
    I have checked and I have the latest Itunes on both machines (11.0.5.5)
    I can use any help......Robert

    You won't see 2 shared libraries.
    You will see 1 (from the other's computer).

  • Quicktime movie wont share with iTunes

    When I try to share my movie with iTunes it appears in music as a  .m4v but not in movies.  Audio plays fine but there is no video. 
    I have tried creating the .m4v via the menu and short cut icon from QT.  I have tried using import to library and drag and drop to get the file into iTunes.
    The movie is a home recording.  Edited in FCE and then exported as a QT movie.
    I am running OSX 10.7.5, QT Player 10.1 and iTunes 11.0.4
    Any ideas?

    I should have said that previously I have been able to import home movies into iTunes.
    You used to be able to import AVI wrapped movies into iTunes also—but not any more. Basically, iTunes has become more and more a "funnel" for mobile files compressed specificly for mobile device (iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch) and TV playback. You used to able import almost any non-muxed format to iTunes that was compatible with your system's QT codec component configuration and it would play in the QT 7 based version of iTunes. Unfortunately, as part of the transition from QT 7 to QT X technologies, iTunes itself has been modified to limit what it will accept. For instance, I just ran a fiew quick tests and found that DV/DV (DV), DVCPRO/PCM (MOV), MJPEG/AAC (MJPG or MOV), and PNG/AAC (MOV) files no longer import to the latest version of iTunes under Mountain Lion. So, to say the least, Apple is continuing to refine what iTunes can and cannot import in terms of compression formats and file types. That is probably why they added and expected users to employ the "Share with iTunes" export option—i.e., to not only send files to iTunes indirectly but to also ensure that the file received is in the default H.264/AAC (M4V) compressed data format and file type that iTunes expects to play, sync, and/or stream to other devices and/or computers.
    How would I do this?
    As always, that depends on your specific fork flow and needs. If you are saving your edited FCE content to a QT (MOV) file in its current (but as yet unstated) compression format because you need it for some other application in that compression format, then simply open the file in an app like the QT 7 or QT X player and share/export the content to iTunes or a specific iTunes device-compatible (iPhone, iPod, TV, Podcast, iTunes, etc.) preset and import the new file to iTunes manually or import automatically. If the sole use of the file is iTunes, then you can export an iTunes compatible file directly from FCE.

    Are you using the same ID for homesharing on all devices.
    By the way shared libraries don't show up under either 'Music' or 'Libraries'.

  • Secure link to itunes store failed computer not connected to internet tried ununininstalling everything to do with itunes no joy also error code coming up E0000225 anybody out there got any ideas

    Secure link to itunes store failed, (computer not connected to internet tried uninstalling everything to do with itunes,no joy also errror code E0000225 appearing. Have turned off windows firewall and also my Bullguarg security settings.Can anybody out there please help me thanks.

    Hi,
    You could be right that the response to clicking on help is a symptom of an entirely separate issue, but nevertheless the secure link to itunes is definitely failed, and I am unable to log into Itunes on either PC.
    I also noticed that even if I click on the link to create a whole new Apple ID, I cannot do that either, presumably because the secure link is not working.
    After I noticed that there were weird things happening this morning, I did change my Apple ID password in the hope that this might resolve it, but it seemed to make it worse.  Now, all of my apple devices keep constantly prompting me for the apple ID password, and randomly either accepting it, or telling me it is wrong.  I know the password is correct because I can log onto the apple Manage My Apple ID screens in a web browser with it.
    I was starting to think that this is an ISP issue (BT Broadband), but I have not seen anyone else posting with the same issue.  Does Apple use a different security protocol to everyone else?  I'm asking because all other secure services seem to be working fine, but anything related to apple that requires a secure connection or authentication is having issues.
    I have also seen reference to making sure that Itunes is listed as an allowed program in Windows Firewall.  I cannot seem to do this because it says that my Windows firewall is being managed by McCafee.  I have checked the settings in McCafee, and it appears to me that Itunes, Bonjour, and many other apple programs have been granted "Full" access.  As said before in any case I have tried temporarily disabling the firewall and even this did not solve the problem.

  • Why doesn't my imovie project for ipod touch go to my computer's iTunes when i hit the option "share with iTunes"? I need iTunes to have the project so I can format it in a video converter. Can anyone help?

    I downloaded Imovie to my Ipod touch (I don't have a Mac computer/laptop) so that I can edit a project for school video assignment. I have editted the video, but I can't figure out how to make it go to Itunes. I need it there so that I can put it into a video converter for projection to my class. The problem is, I don't know how to get Itunes to recognize that there is a project made. Imovie (at least the mobile version) has a "share with Itunes" feature, which I found. When I use this feature... nothing happens on the itunes end. Does anyone know why this is and have a solution?

    This is what the iMovie Help says:

    Is that the procedure you've been following?
