1 library, 1 external hardrive, 2 macs using it.

Hello out there, Ive got my entire itunes library on my external 500gb hardrive. I would like to use both my imac g5 power pc and my macbook pro to use and share this one external hardrive so that I don't have to duplicate anything. my g5 is running itunes 7 and my macbook pro is running itunes 8. I don't wanna upgrade to either if I don't have to.

I would prefer to use it one at a time on which ever computer I am running. I constantly connect and reconnect it to either computer. Still, to answer my question, A) Do I still have to run the same Itunes version? and B) How do I get the song list to read on the second mac. Simply going to preferences/advanced and setting the itunes music folder location isn't working.

  • External hardrive to use with Imac - how to format and to what?

    i have my external hardrive i use with my pc
    how and to what should i format it so i can use ut with leopard and timemachine, also is it possible to make 2 partiton on it so one partition
    would still be windows format so i can backup windows on it too?

    If you have an Intel Mac do this:
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to two and resize as desired using the sizing gadget. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the PC volume you just created (this is a sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to MSDOS (FAT32) from the Format drop down menu. Click on the Erase button.
    5. Select the OS X volume you just created (this is the other sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    You should now be able to use the drive on both platforms. One partition for OS X and the other for Windows.

  • Acomdata external drive MAC using SecureHD LogIn.

    Has anyone figured out how to update Acomdata external drive to use on MAC using SecureHD LogIn?
    The only way now is to launch the PC side of MAC, sign in then suspend the PC side, then the drive appears on the MAC desktop and can be used. This is a pain!

    Hi pealo86
    If your going to be using the External HD strictly for backing up the iMac, ie Time Machine or Cloning with SuperDuper or CarbonCloner, then you will want to reset the Partition Map Scheme to *GUID Partition Table* and the Format to *Mac OS Extended* (Journaled).
    adding these DU instructions > http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/partitioningtiger.html
    If however you wish to use the External Drive for sharing files between OS X and Windows then you will either need the Mac software that JGG has suggested or need to reset the Drive Format to MS-DOS FAT-32, which unfortunately has a file size limit of 4GB.

  • Accessing a single itunes library from multiple macs using a NAS???

    hi, at the moment i have a imac g5 holding all my itunes library files on its hard drive. i'm about to buy another mac to locate downstairs, and also have itunes on my windows laptop.
    i am thinking of moving the itunes library to a networked attached storage device, something like the buffalo terastation. does anyone have experience of this? does it work well over a wireless network? (802.11g)
    how easy is this to set up, and make each mac point to the library on the NAS device? are there any problems with ripping cds to the NAS device, or multiple macs accessing different songs at the same time?
    what would i need to do on each mac to make if see the library if i moved it to the NAS?
    sorry for the questions, but i know what i want to do, just not quite sure how to do it!
    thanks, andy

    hi,
    sorry i haven't tried this. i've now resorted to
    buying a mac mini, attaching an external firewire
    harddrive and using itunes sharing. still means i
    have to have the mac mini on all the time, so not
    ideal. i decided not to buy the nas for the time
    being. i'm still interested in hearing if it works on
    other peoples systems tho!
    There are others who have done something similar in that they created a shared folder on one computer and opened access to that shared folder to all other computers. The result was that only one computer could listen to the library at a time. I would assume the same thing would be true if using a NAS due to the file locking iTunes imposes. Anybody want to take a ride to the Apple Store and see if one of their reps have done it??

  • How can i sync my iPhoto Library to 2 macs using the same Apple ID?

    Hi,
    I have 2 mac book pros (1 in the office and 1 at home) and I have all my photos saved on my office mac iPhoto Library. Is there a way I can sync both iPhoto Libraries? I will be using 1 Apple ID or account for both macs.
    Thanks

    What do you mean by "Sync".
    The general term means when two Libraries (A and B) are compared and files in Library A are copied to Library B, while files in Library B are also copied to Library A so that both Libraries are identical.
    This is bi-directional copying and you cannot do this automatically with iPhoto. No Syncing software is capable of parsing the iPhoto Library in this manner. One or both of your Libraries will be damaged if you try this.
    You can have uni-directional copying - files in Library A are copied to Library B - this is essentially backing up. Obviously you can also copy from Library B to Library A. So, if all your Photos are on Machine A then just back it up to machine B.
    The nearest you can get to syncing is to use iPhoto Library Manager to move files/Albums/Events plus associated metadata between Libraries. This process cannot be automated.

  • I have copied Iphoto library from other MAC using the migration assistant, when starting Iphoto the rebuild however stops half way (no progress after 24 hours)

    Using the migration assistant I copied my users from an old MAC (2007) to a brand new on. After a few attempts and software updates this worked. For Itunes and mail for example all data was available. On starting my Iphoto however there was a problem. When starting there is the message that the library, to be able to work with the new Iphoto Version, needs to be updated. In the process of doing this the programm seems to get stuck after 40 % of progress and even after 24 hours does not continue. I have tried to use the I-Photo First aid, but before starting any of the steps it wants to re-allign the old library to the new Iphoto version ans subsequently get's stuck on the same spot again !! Is there any advice you could give ?
    Thanks,
    John 

    I have tha same problem.
    iPhoto asks for updating, then it shows a bar about the conversion in progress, then it shows that it is working on faces library and then the circle spot stop to turn on faces library and starts in the middles of iPhoto window.
    After three days nothing changed!
    Any help?

  • I was trying to move iphoto library to my external hardrive, realised it was incompatible with Mac.  The iphoto will not open now, message is "Iphoto library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable".  I have read other posts.

    Hi,
    I was trying to save a copy of my iphoto library by copying images to my external harddrive.  I wasn't sure how to do it, realised the hard drive is not compatible. Now the iphoto library wont open and reads "iphoto library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable".
    I have tried to use options command and click on iphoto then rebuild yet nothing happens and same error message occurs.
    I have gone to  my personal drive, desktop, iphoto library, and found file Albumdata.xml and when i click on it, there is a lot of text in it, i am assuming these are all my photos.
    I have tried clicking and dragging this file to iphoto app and it doesn't work, as the same error comes up in iphoto being in use or unreadable....
    What am I meant to do with albumdata.xml file and how do I reopen Iphoto from here on in?
    Please help as I am not technically minded and still trying to understand how to use the Macbook at all as I am used to Microsoft.
    Thank you very much,
    KS

    Rule Number One - NEVER go directly uinto the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it and making any change no matter how small can corrupt your library and cause data or photo loss
    Exactly how were you trying to save a copy of your iPhoto library?
    Albumdata.xml does not contain your photos - and again NEVER make any changes to the content of the iPhoto library - no dragging - no changes - never go into the library
    We need to know exactly what you did
    And probalby the easiest solution is to load your backup from before you messed things up
    For reference after you get things working
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • ITunes library xml from windows to mac using external drive.

    Hi there!
    I'm a newbie on mac computers.. I've recently purchase a macbook pro retina.
    So, I used to use iTunes in windows XP. My old computer crashed and I can't re-open it and save files...
    Now, the only file I have from my windows library is an "library.xml" file.
    The mp3 files that I had in previous iTunes playlists are in my external I: Drive. (not in Itunes folder).
    I was searching in apple communities to see how I can transfer playlists in my new iTunes on mac.
    But I can't find a solution to my problem... and unfortunately I don't know if there is...
    I've try to set the iTunes media folder location my external hard drive, from Preferences-->Advanced-->iTunes media folder location.
    Then I go to file-->library--> import playlist and I open the "library.xml".
    The result is that I have all my playlists in tact, like it was in my previous iTunes.... But THERE IS NOT ANY FILE ON THEM!!!
    So, I have only the playlists... Could you help me to set my I: drive as default path of itunes library, to get my playlists WITH the mp3s?
    PLEASE HELP!
    Thank you in advance.

    Should I change the Preferences-->Advanced-->iTunes media folder location back to default folder?
    That should be set to wherever you want iTunes to store media in the future (though it sounds like you are planning on keeping this unchecked anyway).  It has no effect on where iTunes looks for existing files.  That is already determined when you first add the file to iTunes or through later consolidating.
    In theory you should be able to start iTunes with a blank library, use the import function to add that .xml file and it should still point to the files on the external.  If that is not working then I guess it is possible all those %20 space designations may be causing problems.  It's strange you are seeing those coded that way but  it is likely some carry-over from Windows.  The purpose of adding a test file to the external, then adding it to iTunes, then looking at the .xml is to see how Mac iTunes lists the path for a file on the external added when using the Mac so you can use that as a model for changing other paths if necessary.
    Holding down the option key while starting iTunes (make sure you are using the correct key) or immediately after starting it should invoke a screen asking if you want to make a new library.  If this is not working for you then I have no idea why because it works for hundreds of other people I have told to do this.

  • Moving iTunes library from PC to Mac using iPod as external disk drive

    O.K. I read the tutorial on this website on this topic and found it helpful though I haven't tried it yet. My question is - the tutorial examples assumed I would be using 2 macs. But, I am moving the iTunes library from a PC to a Mac (using the iPod as an external disk drive). Is that possible?

    Thanks Erik. O.K....one more question... My PB obviously came w/ iTunes installed, and I have already added to it's library. So, is it possible to move my old iTunes library (on the PC) onto my new PB and keep the all of the songs from the PC's library and the Mac's (basically consolidate both libraries into one)? Or will it replace the Mac's library with the imported library from my PC? Thanks for your help.

  • Can I use the ipod classic as an external hardrive with time machine as well as an ipod for my mac book pro OS X?

    Can I use the ipod classic as an external hardrive with time machine as well as an ipod for my mac book pro OS X?

    No. Time Machine has been specifically written not to back up to an iPod.

  • Backup Library using external hardrive?!

    I understand that I can use a DVD or CD to backup my Library but is there an easier way to back up my library using an external hardrive other than individually moving all 2000 of my mp3s??

    If you go into the My Music folder, there will be an iTunes folder. Inside that folder is all of the information for playlists, all of the songs, etc. You can copy and paste that if you want.
    If you're looking to run all of the songs in iTunes off of the external HD, go to Edit>Preferences>Advanced, and change the iTunes music folder to a folder on the external HD. Now, go along the top of iTunes and choose Advanced>Consolidate library. That will copy everything to the external HD, and will make iTunes run off of the external HD. I don't usually recommend this option if you're just wanting to back up your content.

  • ITunes Library on external hard drive used on both Mac & PC?

    I currently have my entire iTunes library on an external hard drive as the library took up too much space on my MacBook Pro. This works out fine, except for when I travel for work (almost weekly). I use a Windows machine for my development work and would like to know if I could simply plug in that external drive and use that on the PC laptop?
    My biggest reason for wanting to do this is to be able to sync my iPhone while traveling, but not having to sync, consolidate or copy my music & movie files every weekend between the two machines is another reason.

    christopher rigby1 wrote:
    You must maintain the actual library files separately on the Mac and PC as they are different formats, and use different file paths for each song.
    That is what I was hoping to avoid. That means I would not be able to sync my iPhone on both machines. It also means I would have to sync my libraries on a regular basis.
    My primary goal was to be able to put a movie or two and/or a couple of training videos on the iPhone and when I get through them, be able to update the iPhone with new ones to use on the flight back home.
    What about keeping the library files for both machines on the external drive, in addition to the actual library. Would that solve my problem?

  • I have an external hardrive for MAC, I needed to save something from my work computer so I can pass it on to my MAC, it requiered me to re-format my external HD and now when I connected to my MAC I only have "read only rights". How do I fix it?

    I have an external hardrive for MAC, I needed to save something from my work computer so I can pass it on to my MAC, it requiered me to re-format my external HD and now when I connected to my MAC I only have "read only rights". How do I fix it? I run my Itnues from this external and now my library is gone. Luckily I have it saved somewhere else, which is not a problem, but I won't be able to write to this HD for right now. I can't see an option to give those permission back.

    Unless what you have to transfer is enormous, skip the external HD altogether and use a USB flash drive; you can get them with capacities to 128GB. Format the flash drive as FAT32 or ExFAT as LowLuster suggests so it can be read and written to on both PC's and your Mac.

  • Need help setting up external hardrive to play itunes on 2nd Mac

    I have my main music collection on my Mac Pro (400 gigs).  I want to be able to use my Mac Mini downstairs to play my itunes collection.  I have attempted the following steps without success:
    Using my Mac Pro, I formatted a 2TB Seagate drive into two partitions (one to use as timemachine back up for the Mac Mini) the other to copy my itunes collection to.
    I copied my entire itunes folder onto that Seagate hardrive partition which I named :"Mac mini Itunes"
    plugged in seagate hardrive to the mac mini
    Opened itunes using the hold option button to choose the iTunes library on the external hardrive
    When I chose the iTunes folder located in that "mac mini iTunes" hard drive icon on my desktop, I get the following message:
    "The iTunes Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission for this file"
    When I go to the Sharing and Permissions info on that "mac mini Itunes" hard drive icon, it shows "You can only read"
    Below that I see that the Name and privilege info is grayed out and I can not change anything.
    The Ignore ownership on this volume is checked but grayed out and I can not change it.
    Any suggestions on how I can use this hardrive to play my iTunes collection on my mac mini?
    Do I need to reformat the Seagate drive and do something different while partitioning the drive?
    Should I reformat it using the mac mini instead of the Mac Pro and then copy my iTunes folder to it?
    Thanks for any help

    Hello blakemj. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    For your described network configuration, you will want to reconfigure your 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) as a "wireless client" to the Buffalo wireless router.
    Here's how ...
    Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, make the following changes:
    (Note: As a third option, you can temporarily connect the AXn directly to an available LAN port on your Buffalo wireless router during setup, and then, place it at the desired location when complete.)
    AirPort > Base Station
    o Base Station Name: <rename or leave default>
    o Base Station Password: <enter desired password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter desired password>
    o Remember this password in my keychain: (optional)
    o Set time automatically: (unchecked)
    AirPort > Wireless
    o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    o Network Name: <existing Buffalo's wireless network>
    o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
    o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>

    I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. my goal is to store them in an external hard drive so it doesn't use up memory on the mac hard drive. is it possible to copy the specific projects without copying the entire library? what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

    What do you not understand?
    You can duplicate the iPhoto library (command - D ) and delete everything except the project and its photos from the copy and move that
    Or
    However the calendar takes very little space - it is simpy database entries - it is the photos in the calendar that take space - and for most people you would wnat to keep those photos in your library
    you can use a photo in 50 calendars and it still is only one photo in your library - as I explained calenders do not exist as such - they are simply database entries telling iPhotop how to display the calendar - they take almost no space at all
