Ok crew, I am about at my wits end on this one...
Here is the long of the short of it....
When I click on a Shared Library in iTunes they disappear.
Here is what I am dealing with:
1 Mac 10.6.4 Computer a
1 PC Win7 Computer b
1 Mac 10.6.4 Computer c
All are running iTunes 9.2.1. All are logged in to home sharing with the same UID and PW. Just an Ethernet switch between them. No firewalls, etc.
Computer A - the main host (the one i am really trying to get to.)
I open Itunes and turn on home sharing. There is a 'done' button on the bottom right. Under shared I see:
a dark brown house: Home Sharing
a light brown house: Computer B
a light brown house: Computer C
I press the done button. The dark brown house disappears and I am left with:
a light brown house: Computer B
a light brown house: Computer C
I press the light brown house: Computer C, and it disappears! (Mac)
I press the light brown house: Computer B, and I have access (W7)
Ok. So i go to sit at Computer B (Win7). I see under shared:
a light brown house: Computer A (mac)
a light brown house: Computer C (mac)
I press the light brown house: Computer A, and I have access.
So, I go sit in front of computer C. I see under shared:
a light brown house: Computer A (mac)
I press computer A, and the icon changes in to some blue note thingy.
I press computer A again, and it disappears.
Now, here is the real kick in the pants.
I log off account '1' on computer C, and log on to an administrator account on Computer C.
I see:
computer A -but it is the blue note thing, not a light brown house
And.... it works. Of course :0
So, if you are still with me (thank you), I am really trying to access computer A (mac) from computer C (mac). It works using and admin account, but not a 'typical' user account.
Thoughts and ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
