Q: home sharing library not refreshed since March

Hi -- I have home sharing enabled and use it for two computers in my household.  I keep the files on a main computer and access them through a secondary computer.  Today I noticed that I couldn't access any recent songs on the secondary computer.  Looking into it further, it appears that when I access the home sharing library on the secondary computer, the most recent song in the library was from March 19 of this year.  I have added several songs since them, and I can see them and play them on iTunes on the main computer, but for some reason they're not appearing in my library when I access it from the secondary computer.  It appears that I need to "refresh" the library to add in all the songs I've added since March 19, but I've looked around and can't find any way to do that.  My iTunes is up to date on both computers, and I've restarted both computers, but no luck.  Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

    Greetings Chegg, 

     

    Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities!

     

    I understand that you have Home Sharing enabled between two of your computers at home, with one computer sharing content to the other. It seems the issue you are having is that your content from the main computer is not updating to the second computer via Home Sharing past March 19. 

     

    To begin troubleshooting this situation, I recommend reading over and working through the suggested steps from the following article. If the issue continues, please let us know so we can continue to help you troubleshoot this issue.
