Using a seperate hard disk in combination with AirTunes.

I have all my music on a seperate hard disk, from the hard disk I load it in iTunes on my iMac and from my iMac I share the music wireless with all the macs in the house.
My question however is; Can i also use AirTunes when I have all my music on a seperate hard disk? I haven't started using AirTunes yet, but since I have recently bought a new stereo set I thought I might want to check it out.

My question however is; Can i also use AirTunes when I have all my music on a seperate hard disk?
Yes. The important thing to remember is that iTunes uses AirTunes to stream the audio source to the AirPort Express Base Station (AX). As long as the iTunes Library has access to the audio files on this hard disk, it should be able to stream it to the AX.

  • How to set my installer to seperate hard disk

    Hi anyone,
    I have mac OS 10.5.8 and use a seperate hard disk for my itunes. I just noticed that even though I was downloading the updates for itunes they are not being installed on the secondary hard disk that i keep my itunes on. My computer thinks that everything is up to date but my itunes remains 10.2 even though i have downloaded the new 10.5 update. This is messing up my iphone and ipad 2 and making me sad. Can anyone tell me how to tell my installer to switch from hard disk 1 which is my default destination for everything EXEPT my itunes which is on another hard disk. THX and smily face

    The application probably has to be kept in the Applications folder on the hard drive used to boot the computer.  I haven't expeimented with moving it elsewhere but for some applications that use multiple resources this is the case.
    You can have your library located on an external drive. By library I mean media files and the important iTunes library files which are all located in your iTunes Library folder.*  It sounds like you already do this.
    There are various other files used by iTunes, some of which are in your own user Library folder as well as user Preferences folder.
    *Note: You can also have these split up in different places if you don't set iTunes to manage your music, but most people don't do that.

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

  • When i import movies from my iPhoto app to my iMovie app does it make a copy (thereby using double the hard disk space) or does it link to my iPhoto app? The reason i ask is i want to archive all my videos from iPhoto/iMovie. HELP!

    Hi - I'm having the same problem with freeing up space on the HD. If I can't free space if I'm using any part of the clip, how can I split up the clips so that I can discard the part I won't use? This is crazy! I have only 4 GB of free space left!
    Also, I've tried to transfer the project file to my external HD but I keep getting an error saying I can't transfer it. I've been told this is because I don't have enough space on the HD for the transfer. I tried a similar transfer with another computer with plenty of HD space but the same error occurred. Is there a way to break up the project file into small pieces for the transfer (I'm thinking the whole movie file is just too big)?
    Thanks for any info!

    Where were you downloading the to,   iPhoto, a folder on the Desktop, where? Are they still on the camera's memory card?  If you deleted them from the card and haven't used the card since they can be recovered with recovery software like  MediaRECOVER. You can download the demo version to verify they can be recovered before purchasing it.  Other similar apps can be found at MacUpdate.com by searching for "photo recovery" or similar terms.

  • Use iPod as hard disk & listen to music?

    Is it possible to use your iPod as a Hard Disk & be able to listen to the music on it?
    Like, if you wanna save your music JUST INCASE your computer crashes ALL OF A SUDDEN, but you still want to be able to listen to music and enjoy your iPod & not just have it sitting there as an extra hard drive.
    Does anybody know if it is possible to do both?
    And if so, How?
    5th Generation 30GB   Windows XP  

    Wrong.
    Of course you can use your ipod as a hard disk as well as using it as an iPod to play music. There is nothing wrong with this at all.
    There is one downside. The content will take up twice as much space on your iPod.
    You'll need to sync your content to the iPod using itunes -AND- copy it manually to another folder using the iPod as a hard disk.
    So, the answer really is YES, you can use your iPod as music player, and a hard disk for all of your content as long as your library takes up less than half the total capacity of your iPod hard drive.
    Additioanlly, there are ways to copy the content off your iPod even when it's not being used as a hard disk. It requires third-party software, but it's possible. Thats another topic altogether.

  • Use of business partner functionality in combination with dual control

    Is there a generally agreed upon procedure to use the business partner functionality in combination with dual control? The problem is that when you block a business partner, the customer/ vendor master data aren't blocked automatically. You can then still use them in transactions, which leads to problems.
    So is there a way to make this work or a procedure to do this?
    Niels Vanwingh

    Thanks Masa,
    I did notice the 'Add external supplier from' in create supplier or bidder option. However there is a small catch and your experience may help.
    Let me explain the requirement and scenario here in SRM 7.
    We are implementing the Registration of Supplier scenario; both ROS and SRM are in same client. When a potential supplier registers themselves in the registration system, a BP number is created (an Internal number range is defined for this). After accepting the potential supplier in pre-select screen the purchaser has two options to transfer the potential supplier from the ROS system to SRM
    Option 1: He can select the accepted potential supplier from the supplier directory option and transfer the business partner to SRM. In this case the business partner number of the potential supplier is retained in SRM and a business partner with supplier and bidder tag is created. However the purchaser does not have any option to select which type of business partner he would like to create like supplier or bidder.
    Option 2: Purchase can go to create supplier or bidder option and choose the u2018Add external supplier formu2019 from the ROS system and create the business partner. The ROS business partner details are copied to the create supplier screen, but the purchaser have to provide an external business partner number for the supplier. This is because we have defined external number range for business partner for the vendors that are replicated from ERP to SRM.
    Objective is the ROS business partner should be retained in SRM with option to create as supplier and bidder and then manually create ERP supplier with same SRM BP number and map against SRM supplier.
    Is there any way we can achieve this?
    In SRM 5.5 with Manage business partner functionality we could achieve as system give us the option which business partner type we would like to create as well as retains the ROS BP number in SRM.

  • HT201250 if I used external hard disk for backup time machine, is it possible to use that external hard disk to save another else from diffrent computers?

    If I used external hard disk for back up time machine, is it possible to use that external hard disk to save another else from diffrent computers?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can do this, but you should make a new volume on your external disk. Time Machine needs a volume that is only used to store backups, so you can't store other data in the same volume as the one you are using for making backups.
    If you want to create another volume on your external disk, use Disk Utility to do this > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html Anyway, you should get another external disk to store other files, but if you don't want to, you can create another volume in it

    I have bought a time capsule to use as time machine device. Until now I have used a external hard disk. How can I transfer the the old time machine datas to the time capsule?

    This is really difficult to the point of not really worth it.
    Keep the old TM backups in archive.. and start afresh on the TC.
    Time Machine has a different way of backing up on Network drives cf Local drives.
    Pondini does have a method to do it... but I would not recommend it.

    any help is welcome ....

    The iPod Touch (and the iPhone) is not designed to be used as a storage device which is why it is missing the option you've seen on regular iPods.

  • Using Current FW Hard Disk with new Mac Mini..?

    I'm using a G4 mini for over a year now, and intent to get an Intel version of it once the next product update occurs.
    But is it possible for me to actually use the external FW hard disk which I'm booting my current system from right now, and use it as the bootup HD for my next mini, with all of the files in it remaining intact?
    It is just a simple process of upgrading the FW HD with the universal version of OS X and then booting up from it? Or it is a more complicated process of having to format the HD first?
    Hope seinors here can advise me on this, tks!
    Mac Mini G4 1.42 GHZ   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Since the OS X Intel version uses EFI it also uses a different kind of partition scheme, so your F/W disk would not be bootable. You need to repartition it and select GUID partition table in the options (on your PPC machine, the Intel machine would choose the right one) in order to make it bootable for Intel Macs. All your data will be erased by repartitioning the HD!

  • External hard-disk not working with firewire under Snow Leopard

    Hi. I have a LaCie d2 external hard-disk that has Firewire 800, 400 and usb2. I previously used it on my old (angle-poise) iMac connecting using the Firewire 400 socket. I've just a got a new mac with Snow Leopard and I thought it would we best to connect to the LaCie with Firewire 800. However when I do this, the disc mounts ok, but browsing in the Finder is really slow and copying files from the disk to the imac seems to work at a really slow rate (less than USB1 speed) if at all ! However, I switched to using the USB2 connection instead and it works like a dream. What gives ? Is Firewire in Snow Leopard buggy ??

    There's no problem with the drive.
    Maybe true, and the drive would probably work fine with Leopard. One thing that's obvious is that Apple did make changes in the way that FireWire works in Snow Leopard. Many drives and drive manufacturers work well with SL, but there have also been reports of firmware issues by Western Digital and other companies.
    Have you checked with your vendor to see if they are offering a firmware update for your drive?
    BTW, I got a new FW case a few months ago while at a Fry's electronic store. The brand new USB2 and FW400 cables worked fine. The FW800 cable did not, but another cable came to the rescue. Just saying...

  • Dv2941se hard disk no boot with error Err2Err3

    On my dv2941se laptop with AMD 64 x2 TK-57,4096MB total Memory Bios versionF.26 Running Vista 64 bit home premium.
    When I turn on to boot  I get the HP screen with function keys and then goes to black screen with cursor in upper left corner. When boot with esc I get  memory passed, System Bios shadowed, Videobios shadowed, ATAPI CD ROM: HL_DT_ST DVD RAM GSA-T2ON, Fixed disk 0 Samsung HM250JI, Mouse initialized, and then full black screen and Err2Err3 appears in upper left corner and that's as far as the show goes. Will not boot any further no matter how long it's on. Any key I touch will repeat this error. When I boot up with my backup CD to perform an image backup which has been done up to the point that I can't boot anymore shows on the hardware screen that my hard disk C: is full. The D: drive that has the rescue for Vista and the small X:sector for boot looks like the number of sectors has not changed. Since this is OEM Vista I have no way to access C; in order to do a file check, or reformat is out. I cannot copy my latest backup because all sectors are written and the backup bombs. Not that familiar with Vista, is there anything I can do from here? I have no idea what is on each of the included 17 "installation "disks or will the last link of emergency " restore to factory conditions" (last resort) even going to work or has my hard disk turned to toast? I was doing a Microsoft software update at the time that this happened. I am on landline so it takes hours to do an update and I just let it run overnight to load the upgrades if it is more than 5MB in size. Phone line will give me 1.96 KB/sec. Someone please let me know how deep a dilemma I am in and how to possibly dig myself free. Thanks in advance.
