I am trying to transfer library from old pc to new. I have opened home share in both on the same account. Followed instructions to the point home share icon should appear in the upper left library menu. After clicking share library in the sharing tab the home icon does not appear. How do I find the computer to share with?
Home sharing is enabled from the file menu in iTunes, is this what you are doing.
Yes. I then clicked on preferences..., sharing tab, share library, clicked ok. The home icon does not appear in the itunes library in the upper left.
Yes, but that isn't what I wrote, is it. Please reread my post carefully, you have set up sharing, not homesharing.
What am I missing? You asked if I enabled home sharing from the file menu in itunes. I answered yes. After opening home sharing on 2 pcs from the file menu in itunes I took the other steps. DId I take a wrong turn?
Sorry about that, I thought you were saying you had set up sharing instead.
Do you have any firewalls turned on or any security software running, it sounds as though you have something blocking homesharing.

Thanks. I found a solution on your this page collection. Firewall setting seemed a logical and relatively easy fix so I tried that first and it worked. Home share now available & I can now open the shared libraries.Thank you so much. I am still unable to transfer the library, however. If you have any suggestions on how to do that I would love to hear them.
Use the import options at the bottom of the screen.
I do not seem to have import options at the bottom of the screen, or anywhere else I can find. I am not sure what I should be looking for.
They should be at the bottom of the iTunes window when viewing the shared library. If not, check whether you have used up all of your computer authorisations.
I do not have the bar with "all items" "settings" "imports" . I have 3 of 5 computers authorized.
You must still have one or some of your network settings set up incorrectly, try working through the troubleshooting list again.
How do you get the home icon to appear in the library menu?
