Windows can see iTunes Library, Mac can not see Windows library

All,
I'm having a bit of a dilemma here.. I think the following issues are sourced by the same root cause.
First i can't not get my iphone remote.app to be recoginized by my Mac OSx desktop, it works fine with my windows desktop(they are plugged into the same router and settings look good here so I'm discounting the router as the cause). Yes I have made sure to give access to itunes in the Firewall settings
Second, My windows machine can see my Mac's shared itunes library, yet my Mac machine can see my window's shared itunes library.
Any suggestions will be appreciated!and thankyou!

I had this problem recently, and it was because I had both the XP firewall enabled and the firewall included in my F-Secure client. Check your Windows machine to make sure you don't have such a firewall conflict.

  • Error - iTunes Library .iti file is locked on a disk or you do not have permission for this file. I can open itunes in the compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 3 ???

    In Windows 8 I received the error iTunes Library .iti file is locked on a disk or you do not have permission for this file. I can open itunes in the compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 3.
    I've tried changing permissions and sharing - nothing seems to work. mat be a Windows 8 issue???

    You also need to make sure you have both read and write permission for the file, or for the whole iTunes folder for that matter.  That's also done in Get Info for the file or folder concerned.
    Read the part about changing permissions on the iTunes folder in: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11583914

  • Itunes / mac mini not seeing ipod

    When I plug my ipod into the mac mini (usb) my mac doesn't recognize or see it. That means I can't update any songs on my ipod from my itunes library. I've tried:
    - resetting the ipod,
    - uninstalling and reinstalling itunes,
    - plugging the ipod directing into the usb port on the mini base and the monitor usb port,
    - putting the ipod in disk mode and
    Still my mac does not see the ipod.
    Upgraded to iTunes 7.2 a few weeks ago. It's been working fine the last couple of weeks.
    Please - help!!!

    All I can think of:
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    I had the same problem after I gave my old iPad to my parents and tried to install Netflix. This is what you have to do:  Open iTunes on your computer, the one you sync your iPad to. Then go to iTunes Store and search for and download Netflix app. After you download it, if your iPad is set to download new purchases it may start downloading on your iPad. If so, tap and hold to delete the app (because it is trying to install the new version on the iPad) Next step, go to the App Store on your iPad and find Netflix and it should say install since you already purchased it on the computer. Tap to install, and it will say the version is not compatible, tap to download a previous version. Click that and it will install the older version!    One more thing, if and when you sync to your computer again it will say something like " Unable to install Netflix on your iPad" Just click the box to never remind you again, because it's trying to sync the newer Netflix app to your iPad, but it doesn't work so it displays the message. The old app will remain on the ipad. Hope this helps, good luck

    Hi Dcee3,
    Acrobat Standard has not been developed for Mac platform so Mac version is not available. It can only run on windows machine.

  • I have license for photoshop CS5 extended for windows , I have switched to mac , can  I install the same license copy on mac ?

    I have license for photoshop CS5 extended for windows , I have switched to mac , can  I install the same license copy on mac ?

    Unfortunately, no. the CS programs are platform specific. You have three options. Upgrade to CS6 and request a platform swap, in which case you will give up the Windows serial number. Second, you could buy a second serial number for Mac outright. Third, you can buy the subscription to Photoshop CC, which can be used on both Windows and Macintosh..

    if the printer don't support that then you need to find a printing app in app store
    which will act the role as printer driver for the device to speak with the printer

  • Itunes 9.2 does not see my iphone 3GS

    I have now reinstalled itunes 9.2 3 times in order to download the new software verion for my iphon. First it kep saying there were files missing so I reinstalled and reinstalled. Now I can see my library in itunes but it will not see my iphone, nor will it charge the phone. I have used different USB ports and iphone connectors all to no avail. Can anyone help please?

    The same thing happened to me and it took me days to figure it out. Check the USB drivers. I noticed after updating/uninstalling/re-installing itunes 9.2, windows would update the latest drivers to my iphone when I connect it for the first time. It did this every time. Windows kept giving it a generic camera driver. Although it recognized it as an Apple iPhone, make sure it finds this driver: usaapl found in the c:\program files\common files\apple\mobile device\drivers folder (Windows Vista 64-bit)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538 gives you instructions on how to fix this.
    Good luck!

  • Why doesn't iTunes 11.0.4 not see my iPhone 6.1.3?

    I have the iPhone 4 running on iOS 6.1.3, my iPhoto sees the phone as a digital camera. iTunes how ever does not see my iPhone so that I can sync them together, I've had my phone for about 2 months and have my tech friends look into this and tried everything but reformatting my MacBook Pro. Does anyone know how I can get my iPhone to set up as a new phone on my laptop or to at least get iTunes to see my phone? Please help.

    Because the MacBook Pro do not have eyes

  • Windows 7 and itunes 10.4 will not recognize iphone 4

    windows 7 and itunes 10.4 will not recognize iphone 4.  iphone does not show up in device list in iTunes

    Found my answer by sifting through all itunes questions.  (I tried earlier, but apparently chose the wrong key words.  In my successful search I just searched through everything itunes related.) There was a posting where someone indicated they could not open alternative libraries using the option key method, precisely my situation.  They stated that they solved the problem by appending a ".itl" at the end of the library file.  I tried this myself and sure enough, it worked.  Hopefully it will also work for all others who are suffering from this scenario.

    bought new shuffle but the mac does not see it in itunes please tell me why?

    My battery is not quite flush, but I use mine on soft surfaces (as I'm not supposed to), so I haven't noticed any rocking. Have you tried taking your battery out and trying to get a better fit?

    Is the printer physically connected to the computer with a cable, or is it wireless.  Did you install the printer drivers from the manufacturers web site, for your specific OS?
