iTunes 8.1 Shared Library

I have a NAS Server that shares my music. When I start iTunes 8.1 I can see the share but when I click on the share, it disappears. It never connects like it did in 8.0. When I restart iTunes, it shows back up again but never lets me connect the the share.

Very bad upgrade. I hope that time machine will let me revert back to 8.0 until this gets fixed.

What brand and model of NAS do you have? Does the NAS share your music using iTunes Music Sharing so it shows up under Shared in iTunes?

You'll have to talk with your NAS vendor for a fix, most likely. They'll need to fix the iTunes/Bonjour server implementation and provide a firmware update to fix the problem. The information in this thread should allow their engineers to implement a fix.

I think that it is funny that the solution is to rely on your NAS Vendor for a fix when it was Apples iTunes 8.1 that broke the network share in the first place.

VistaNoGo:

Does this issue still exist with iTunes 8.2 (released today)?

It's finally fixed in iTunes 8.2!!! I think that its a shame that it took Apple this long to fix it but at least it is fixed.

Problem solved. 🙂
