Shared Music won't Load in iTunes

[wduser5]

I'm starting to get dissapointed with WD. Thought the company was offering more robust services but time is confirming me I was wrong with that. I will probably think twice next time I have to buy a HD.

Hope they fix this as soon as possible.

sometimes i wonder why some people are over-critical .... is it WD's fault that cr-apple changes something that's otherwise standard protocol, then leave it up to 3rd parties to figure out what's been changed so that their products work with apple's software ? you must keep in mind that apple's shining light is always on their own hardware. they don't care for the windows-using client base nor other hardware manufacturers like WD. even though they made itunes available for the platform .... not to sound like i'm taking sides here, but microsoft has been doing the legwork for years making sure that 3rd party hardware works with windows by providing updates to 3rd party hardware/software via windows update. i used to own a mac back in 2004, i never saw apple do that kind of thing for OS X users.

Maybe you should check out the new firmware. Lots of stuff in this update.

Maybe you have a point over this issue. I appreciate this release. However, I had several problems in the past with both WD passport elite and this MyBook Live on my mac, which make me change my opinion about WD.

That's all, thank you.

After updating my MyBookLive the iTunesServers still not work under iTunes 10.5.1. 

Did i have to do other steps than updating to make it work?

Thanks

Hi

Works for me, but I confess I'm still running iTunes 10.5.0.142 on my laptop

My OS is OS X Lion. Is this the Problem?

OK iTunes now sees the shared library but is it me or do I still need to have iTunes open in order to see my library on my iPad - anyone know of a work around to this?

That will ALWAYS be the case.   Apple doesn't allow anything but Airplay devices to do that, and they are 100% in control of that.

Cheers, thought as much - well that puts an end to that - can anyone suggest any third party apps that work well over Wifi?  Something that will play an album instead of file by file?
