no import button for home share

I have two laptops. They are both authorized under the same Apple ID and are set up for home sharing. I can see both libraries on both computers, but can't copy (click and drag) songs from one library to the other. I also can't drag them to my phone. There is no import button either. HELP!

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.0.1

I've got it solved. I turned off Home Sharing on my main machine and then turned it back on and then both machines worked, Drag and Drop worked, the Import and Settings button reappeared.
I wonder why I needed to do that.

That didn't work for me, but I found a solution for any other readers with my problem.


Make sure you are using HOME sharing, not "share my library."


To solve the problem, I had to go to iTunes Preferences->Sharing->Share my library on my local network (on all computers), and switch that off. Then I turned Home Sharing back on everywhere and it started working.


(Make sure you give the same iTunes account on all computers when turning on Home Sharing.)
