ITunes networked from G4 "server" and multiple iMac accounts

HI all,
1) I'm trying to house my iTunes library on my old G4 (Panther/10.6, w/ significant hardware upgrades) and connect my new iMac (10.9.1, multiple users). The idea would be that the G4 is always on in a closet and music can be controlled by iPhones wirelessly at any time. I'm wondering if I need to install some server software on the G4. Currently, I'm able to use Finder>Go>Connect to Server and bring the iTunes folder onto my iMac desktop. I have then changed my location of the iTunes library in iTunes>Preferences but it still doesn't seem to bring the Library up. I'm not sure why.
2) We have three iPhones and want to share the same Library and purchaces. Any advice?
3) I have wired speakers to a stereo receiver and Airport Extreme. I know it's Express that has the speaker jack but is there another product that will wirelessly receive the music signal and direct wire to my receiver?
Thanks in advance.

I meant Panther/10.3

Photos and multiple iMac Accounts

In the new Photos application can I share a single Photo library among multiple users?

I'm afraid from what you describe that the hard drive is dead.

I have Imac (OSX10.6.8) and 6 days of emails that were in my inbox have disappeared. They've also gone from gmail server and my back up hard drive. But if I look at "All Mail" on my Iphone the emails are there!! Have I got settings wrong somewhere?

"One of the benefits of Match, right? Saving hard drive space."
I would not use iTunes Match as a backup. There are too many bugs and I don't think that's what they intended it to be anyway. The main advantage of using it is to make your music available on OTHER devices, not to replace the music on your original computer.

I have given up on my dell and bought an iMac 27"... Now how do I transfer my dell iTunes playlists from my dell to my iMac, as they are showing on the iMac when I plug in my iPod but it's not allowing to me to play them as they are shaded?

I have given up on my dell and bought an iMac 27"... Now how do I transfer my dell iTunes playlists from my dell to my iMac, as they are showing on the iMac when I plug in my iPod but it's not allowing to me to play them as they are shaded? I have also separately transferred all my music via my external drive from my dell to my iMac which is showing in iTunes but won't upload to my iPod... Just to confuse you even more my AppleTV which is linked to my log in email address and home sharing is showing and playing all the playlists I want to see on my iMac... Phew that was exhausting hope you understand and can help me:-)

You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.

(sharing the iTunes library between the macbook & iMack requires both machines and seems silly ...)

No.

Run e-tester from a server and have staff remotely update scripts

Can we run the floating e-tester from a server and have staff remotely access the server to run and update scripts instead of installing the client on everyone's workstation?

Original Question:
Can we run the floating e-tester from a server and have staff remotely access the server to run and update scripts instead of installing the client on everyone's workstation?
There are different alternatives to consider and different ways to answer the question.
1) You can run e-Tester with a floating license from a server and have people to use remote desktop to run and create scripts.
Pros:
* Multiple users can be updating scripts in the server at the same time.
* There is no need to install e-Tester in any other computer.
Cons:
* If the max number of floating licenses is reached no other person can open another instance of e-Tester.
* Having multiple people running scripts in the Job scheduler will create conflicts therefore is not recommended. Running multiple instances of e-Tester manually shouldn't cause problems, but it is a slow way to do regression testing. The job scheduler can run a script after another without user intervention. Teamwork can be affected if the default settings are changed by different users.
* Running thru remote desktop(or any other remote tool such as vnc) is slower than having etester in the computer. The refresh rate of the screen tends to be slower.
* If multiple users are using the server resources at the same time it can slow down the work of others. The server can run out of memory or it will be slow because the CPU running near max capacity.
2) You can run eTester with a node lock license from a server and have people to use remote desktop to run and create scripts.
Pros:
* Multiple users can be updating scripts in the server at the same time.
* There is no need to install eTester in any other computer.
* Only one license is required.
Cons:
* Having multiple people running scripts in the Job scheduler will create conflicts therefore is not recommended. Running multiple instances of etester manually shouldn't cause problems, but it is a slow way to do regression testing. The job scheduler can run a script after another without user intervention. Teamwork can be affected if the default settings are changed by different users.
* Running thru remote desktop(or any other remote tool such as vnc) is slower than having etester in the computer. The refresh rate of the screen tends to be slower.
* If multiple users are using the server resources at the same time it can slow down the work of others. The server can run out of memory or it will be slow because the CPU running near max capacity.
Notes:
1) Having eTester installed in each individual's computer will allow the person to run tests with no worries about conflicts of server resources or job schedules trying to start an etester instance. Installing etester is a one time thing that takes in general less than 10 minutes.
2) Instead of sharing the server resources you can share the place where the scripts reside. You can place the scripts in a central location and and configure etester to read the scripts from there. Instructions on how to do this should be in the knowledge base (if not please let me know)(Don't be lazy Zuriel, paste the link here).
3) You can consider to have eManager Enterprise if you want to have better organization of the scripts. In eManager Enterprise you can relate your test cases to your scripts, you can run the scripts from a central location, it is less limited for scheduling scripts than the JobScheduler, and it can be accessed from anywhere inside the company with a web browser (for security reasons requires username and password). eManager Enterprise doesn't have the ability to create or update scripts, it uses scripts that were created in eTester already.
eManager can also create schedules conflicts if multiple runs are attempted. There are ways to deal with this situation by having multiple computers to run the tests. (Please post in another thread if more information is necessary).
I hope this helps.

What are the commands available to read a file from application server and

What are the commands available to read a file from application server and store the file into an internal table?

Hi,
To read a file from an Application Server to an Object there is a command in ABAP called <b>READ DATASET</b>. After that file is transported to that object you have to do a loop and put that data in an Internal Table.
This statement exports data from the file specified in dset into the data object dobj. For dobj, variables with elementary data types and flat structures can be specified. In Unicode programs, dobj must be character-type if the file was opened as a text file.
For dset, a character-type data object is expected - that is, an object that contains the platform-specific name of the file. The content is read from the file starting from the current file pointer. After the data transfer, the file pointer is positioned after the section that was read. Using the MAXIMUM LENGTH addition, the number of characters or bytes to be read from the file can be limited. Using ACTUAL LENGTH, the number of characters or bytes actually used can be determined.
In a Unicode program, the file must be opened with an arbitrary access type; otherwise, an exception that cannot be handled will be triggered.
If the file has not yet been opened in anon-Unicode program, it will be implicitly opened as a binary file for read access using the statement
OPEN DATASET dset FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
. If a non-existing file is accessed, an exception that can be handled can be triggered.
Influence of Access Type
Files can be read independently of the access type. Whether data can be read or not depends solely on the position of the file pointer. If the latter is at the end of the file or after the file, no data can be read and sy-subrc will be set to 4.
Influence of the Storage Type
The import function will take place irrespective of the storage type in which the file was opened with the statement OPEN DATASET.
If the file was opened as a text file or as a legacy text file, the data is normally read from the current position of the file pointer to the next end-of-line marking, and the file pointer is positioned after the end-of-line marking. If the data object dobj is too short for the number of read characters, the superfluous characters and bytes are cut off. If it is longer, it will be filled with blanks to the right.
If the file was opened as a binary file or as a legacy-binary file, as much data is read that fits into the data object dobj. If the data object dobj is longer than the number of exported characters, it is filled with hexadecimal 0 on the right.
If the specified storage type makes conversion necessary, this is executed before the assignment to the data object dobj. Afterwards, the read data is placed, byte by byte, into the data object.
System Fields
sy-subrc Meaning
0 Data was read without reaching end of file.
4 Data was read and the end of the file was reached or there was an attempt to read after the end of the file.
Thanks,
Samantak.

We use the Apple mail server to get e-mails from our gmail and comcast mail accounts. Recently we have been getting spam that claims to be sent to a gmail address, but when I check that address directly, there is no such e-mail. ???

We use the Apple mail server to get e-mails from our gmail and comcast mail accounts. Recently we have been getting spam that claims to be sent to a gmail address, but when I check that address directly, there is no such e-mail, either in the inbox or in the spam folder. Is it possible to bypass the gmail account and send directly to the Apple mail server, spoofing the gmail address?

Maybe some info here for you about spoofing. (and much additional info)

You can ONLY use the itunes store of your country of residence ( proven by the billing address on your credit card) AND ONLY while you are physically located inside the borders of that country.
You would have to live in the U.S and physically be located in the U.S in order ot use the U.S tunes store. The same is true for each countrys itunes store.
