iTunes Network Sharing


Recommended Posts

So I am at College and as you can imagine, many people use iTunes and have their library shared.I enabled sharing on my iTunes and other people can see my library under the "Shared" column in iTunes, but when they try to access it they get an error like this:"The shared library "Xxxxxxxx" is not accepting connections at this time. Please try again later."Also, when I try to access anyone's library from my computer, it tries to connect for about 1/2 a second then just defaults back to my library.I've rebuilt my iTunes Library, disabled the firewall, checked to see iTunes had firewall access and enabled/disabled sharing. I cannot figure out why my sharing does not work =(I'm running 10.6.2 and the latest version of iTunes.

Could it be the other libraries require a password to access them? You could always try a port scan (Applications > Utilities > Network Utility) for ports 5297, 5298 and 5353, which is what itunes sharing uses.

I did a port scan and here are the results:

I find it odd because everyone else can access libraries fine and we're all on the same network! I don't have any other firewall software, other than the OS X default one, nor am I behind any additional router than anyone else on the network!
