    Hello pedrocadiz,

     

    Can you verify if you will be able to access the share that has your media files when you open it via AFP?

     

    Please also try disabling and re-enabling iTunes or perhaps redo everything. Please  make use of this article:  Using ReadyNAS OS 6 and iTunes Service on Mac OS X

Hi JennC,

 

Thanks for your reply.  I managed to get iTunes working again. Somehow iTunes was switched off on the share; I'd only checked the service.

 

I made an interesting discovery, if you enable iTunes on a share that contains other media types in addition to the share containing Music, iTunes will show the 'no music' message, but list any playlists on the server, but these will be empty. Sharing in case anyone else comes across this.

 

Thanks.
