Itune ver 9 and 10 on linkstation LS-WXL (firmware 1.24)
« on: October 04, 2010, 07:28:33 AM »

Hi,

 

I have been going through this forum looking at this problem, and also apple support forums but nothing can point me to the problem.

 

I have 2 PC with different itune version. The first PC has ver 9.2 which can see the linkstation where all my music are stored. The other PC has been upgraded to the latest itune ver 10.0.1(22) just last weekend and now it cannot see the linkstation at all.  

 

The linkstation is LS-WXL on firmware 1.24. I know the latest firmware is 1.34 but not sure I want to upgrade because of some other problems on 1.34. It is working fine on itune 9, so it seems to conflict with itune 10.

 

I have been trying to figure out what happened. If it works for the ver 9 why not ver 10. Is there a compatibility issue? The apple forum says that the latest version has fixed the problems with many NAS out there. But it didn't seem to work on buffalo.

 

Any ideas? Really would like to get it to run with itune v10.

Unfortunately the best troubleshooting step is to update the firmware.  It is likely that the latest version of iTunes wasn't out when you current version was made.

Upgraded to 1.34 and problem remains. Still cannot see the shared library on the left of itunes 10.0.0.1(22), the latest version from Apple. Been trying to solve this for over a month. Any help is appreciated or anyone has gotten it to work.

Hi, Why not downgrading iTunes to version 9? Or are there any features in version 10 you really need? Cheers, Hans

I have upgraded the firmware to the latest 1.34 and it didn't solve the problem.

I have even experimented by replacing with a new hard disk and initialize the NAS from beginning with the new firmware. No luck.

 

Downgrade to itunes9 always works. But will I be stuck with itunes9 forever?

 

I am yet to receive a formal response from buffalo as to whether buffalo linkstation works with itunes10 with regard to the shared folder.
