3 Xbox360s On same network
We have a wrt54gs linksys router and are trying to all play call of duty 4 on xbox live. But only the host can stay in a game.. the other 2 xboxs get a network iteruption and dropped.. i have been told that this router can only open 1 port for an xbox at a time... is this true? Or do i just need to set up certain ports for certain routers?
Yes this is true that you can only play with one X-BOX at a time with router ....
Port to be opened for the same is 88 & 3074..... using static Ip of the gaming console ......

Multiple Users Mounting the Same Network Share?
Hello, first time posting...
I'll cut right to my main question: Is it possible, on OS X v10.3.9, for multiple users to simultaneously connect to the same network share?
Here in my office, we have a single Mac that is used by multiple people throughout the day. It has two accounts on it, 'Communications' and 'Studio'. 'Communications' is an Admin account that is used by a co-worker who spends the most time on the Mac. He created the no-limitation 'Studio' account for the rest of us to use.
There is a certain Windows network share that we both frequently use. We've found that if one user connects to the share first, the other user will not have access to it; using 'Go -> Connect to Server' will result in the share being greyed out in the list, and the share will not show up in the Finder.
However, there is one way around it. If Studio connects to the share first and then Communications (the admin account) attempts to make a connection of it's own *through a shortcut on the dock*, then a 'clone' of the share will be created on Comm's desktop, with a "-1" after the name (though it might be some other number).
This may sound like I've answered my own question, but what I'm looking for is a way for the non-Admin account to access the share after the Admin account already has (so that we don't have to log-in and disconnect Communications everytime Studio needs to manage files on the share).
We have Thursby Software's DAVE installed on the Mac, but I'm not sure how it fits into all this.
Any thoughts, suggestions or advice?
Thanks.Bizarre. It turned out I could merge them, but only in to the mapped drive - L: - and only by explicitly clicking on the drive icon - if I typed L:\series in to dialog box it converted it back to \\nas\share\series... Not helpful.

How can I manage 1 iTunes library with 2 computers (not on same network)?
I have 1 very large iTunes library in which I am always adding/deleting/editing songs and 2 computers (1 home, 1 laptop). I would like to be able to manage my library with my laptop when I am away from home but also be able to see any changes I made next time I open iTunes on my home computer. I tried home sharing but this seems to be more for computers on the same network. My library is much too big for iCloud. Someone suggested I hold shift when I open iTunes to select a library but even though I can select the library file I want, it doesn't populate iTunes with my changes (or any music for that matter). I'm running XP with the latest version of iTunes (10.7.0.21). Thanks
This describes a work/home scenario. For home/away use, edit the library directly on the portable backup when away, then sync libraries on your return.
Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
As long as your media is organized within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organized) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behavior has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entries and import the local content you have on that box.

Migration Assistant has been running since yesterday evening. My Dell is now telling me that its trying to reconnect to my Mac and to ensure they are both using the same network. I have an Ethernet cable plugged in them and they are both on the same WiFi. What can I do?
Hello Wyodor,
thanks for your reply on my question.
You are wright the index file is 308 KB.
And offcourse that I delete my files and documents is not an Iweb problem, but because my English is not that good, that I thougt I try to tell the whole story, and hope people can read trough the lines.
Why I didn't use Iweb to upload to the server is because the server company recommanded to use file zilla. And I am a nobody with this kind of things, so I did exactly what they tell me to do.
No, i did not make a backup of Iweb and the domain file, but reading other messages on this forum showed me that I can maybe try to make empty the cashfile (?)
and otherwise I have bad luck and have to make my website again. Offcourse I have a lot of examples from all the pages (copied from the local map to my USB stick) and my website is aprox. 15 Mb, (not so big) so it will cost me a few nigths.
But I'm still hoping on a miracle :-)

HP Envy 5530 - computer won't recognize that the printer is on the same network
Product Name: HP ENVY 5530
OS: Windows 8.1
No changes made to system before issue occured
I bought this wireless printer last week (5-13-14). I have a working printer that was connected to my husband's work laptop via USB cable, but needed one to connect to our family computer, which is in a different room with the modem/router. My husband travels for work, so I want to be able to print without disturbing him and while he is away on business. I turned the printer on and connected it to my network with the password and printed out the network settings and the wireless report. There are about 8 other wireless networks in range of my printer (we're in a residential neighborhood), but we aren't having a problem with it connecting to someone elses stuff. I went online to download the driver software and it downloaded fine. I clicked on the desktop icon to launch the control panel for the printer and it opened up for me to install the printer. I went through every step and it won't recognize the IP address or the name of the printer, and therefore won't open up for me to do any scanning. Both the printer and PC are connected to the same network, but they won't recognize each other when it comes to going through the HP software to scan or print. I can go into word or something to print and it will let me print wirelessly, but it won't do anything from the control panel of the print software because it thinks the printer hasn't been installed. I've had Windows 8 on this computer since I bought it in 2012, but I have the computer defaulted to go to my desktop instead of the start screen, so I don't know if that makes a difference. I am going to go ahead and remove the device and uninstall everything so I can try again later. If I had known this was going to be a problem, I would have not bought the printer and just kept on doing what we'd been doing.Hello SarahD_07,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand you are having some troubles getting the Envy 5530 printing wireless on Windows 8.1. Are you able to take the I.P address of the 5530, type it into the address bar of your web browser and hit enter. Does it load a page about the printer?
Run the Print and Scan Dr to see if it can clear up the scanning issues if you can view that above page.
I will look out for your reply,
JERENDS

My imac won't pick up the printer either. Even after I updated it's software. My ipad is new. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
No change. The printer still doesn't show up on my devices even though they are all on the same network. On the printer's connection print out the connection reads Pass and that the network is working correctly. However, then it states "*A router/access point channel conflict has been detected. If you have problems printing or scanning, Improve your wireless network environment." "*If the problems persist, see your documentation for help and networking tips."
I've gone through all the documentation and still can't figure out what the problem is. I've had the router checked out by my building and they claim everything is in order. I have a excellent signal. -
I have two servers. One is for databases (DB) with the mail server configured and the other is for SSIS without mail server. Both servers are in the same network. On the SSIS server the SSIS package exports data from the DB server table
to xls file. The file is saved in SSIS server. When I created a task to send the email (using sp_send_dbmail) to attach that file, I got the error message:
Error: Executing the query "EXECUTE [msdb].[dbo].[sp_send_dbmail]
@profile_na..." failed with the following error: "Attachment file H:\test.xls is invalid.".
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
A Fan of SSIS, SSRS and SSASWhere are you running this?
If its in the other server (DB) you need to use UNC path to the SSIS server folder where file resides
Also the executing account should have access to the folder as well as the file. So If you're running this from a job make sure you either provider folder and file access to sql agent job service account or create a separate proxy account with the required
permissions and configure the job to use the account

I have exactly same problem with my MBP and MBA, after upgrading to Lion. I've tried to fix this issue while cheking key chain issues and network setup, even formating hdd and time capsule firmware upgrade (ver. 7.6.1.). Nothing can help. It is very annoying.

Apple Tv can't connect to iTunes when on same network through Airport Express
Hello All,
Its very rare i need to resort to the community for help but this one has me in a corner.
I have a 2013 Airport Time Capsule (3TB not that it matters), and a 2nd Gen Airport Express, and 2 Apple TV's (3rd gens).
Time capsule in basement of a large home. I can connect to the time capsule with iPhone 6, 4s, iPad 4, macbook air (2013 model), MBP (2012), mostly without issue however from time to time the signal gets kind of weak and cuts off occasionally from the iPad. Slows down a bit for the phones also. Not a huge deal, this is why I bought the airport express.
The Apple TV's are in two bedrooms beside each other on the 2nd floor in my home (office and bedroom). The Airport Express i've tried in 3 different areas of the house (1- Main floor of home on top of fridge in kitchen, roughly 20 feet away from the time capsule through the floor, 2- Main floor at bottom of stairs heading up to 2nd floor and almost line of sight to doorways of the two bedrooms also 20 feet away from the time cause through the floor, 3- 2nd floor hardwired directly to one apple tv (2nd apple tv through double layer of drywall and 10 feet away.)
In any of these locations the Apple TV's randomly get this issue where they do not see my Mac Mini which is hardwired to the time capsule, and running iTunes with all my movies shows and music of course. It gives me an error "Apple TV cannot connect to (name of library) as it may not be on the same network, please ensure iTunes is updated to the most recent version, and ensure you have the latest updates for your apple tv."
On my MBP I was running Yosemite Dev Beta 8, which is fine if that doesn't work, but it did and still had this random issue.
On my Mac Mini i was still running Mavericks with current iTunes (11.4 i believe, now 12 beta).
I unplugged my airport Express from power, now everything is connecting to my time capsule and apple tv's stream fine mostly, however there are slow buffering issues and occasional wifi disconnects just due to 2 floors in-between and quite a distance also, among multiple wireless devices using the network.
My questions are (yea yea a novel i know),
1- If the airport express doesn't see any data going through it for a while, does it go into a sleep mode which might be causing this "iTunes not found" issue even though other devices are still able to see my shared library on my network?
2- If yes to above - how can i shut that off?
3- If no, then why is this happening?
Mac Mini specs, i5 2.5ghz, 16 gb ram, 120gb ssd, 500 gb hdd, 2 TB External USB 3 hdd, ethernet hardwired to time capsule.
Air Port Express is in extended network mode synced to the Time Capsule.
Other devices will connect fine to my iTunes library when the apple tv's will not.
Any help appreciated! Thanks!My questions are (yea yea a novel i know),
1- If the airport express doesn't see any data going through it for a while, does it go into a sleep mode which might be causing this "iTunes not found" issue even though other devices are still able to see my shared library on my network?
I have seen suggestions that bonjour goes into sleep mode.. but Apple offers no info and no controls so whether it does or not is irrelevant.
I am not clear what Time Capsule you have.. 2013 was the change over.. so is it AC tall one.. or previous model, flat one. The picture in the airport utility will show you.
Extend wireless is always a poor way to do things.. can you run some ethernet cabling to a point on the first floor where you could plug in an express.. if so that is the ideal.. if no, then using EOP (homeplug) adapters might work,, but they are not 100% guaranteed to work so make sure you know the return policy.
My experience is with the one extend wireless link that i do have .. it is fragile. Mostly it works.. but i have spent a deal of time making it work.
eg.. I use short names and different names for both bands.. so i can force the connection.. I set fixed channels.. I use the right firmware.. even so at certain times.. (full moon, strong North Wind.. you know typical wireless).. it will decide it won't work.
NOTE.. only airport utility v5 is of use to show link speeds and how things are going.. v6 airport utility (toyland fisher price version) has link status as poor, good or excellent.. which is to say the least.. uninformative.
so here is the link in v6 ..
It says.. good.. yeah.. !!
And here is the info in v5 utility. It has a workmen utility feel to it with piles of info.
The link between the two routers is the top of the listing.. and tells me it is linked at 5ghz and is running at 60Mbps at both ends..
By trial and error I have found left to its own devices it will connect on 2.4ghz and will join at 6Mbps when it starts dropping out.. so by taking full manual control I can produce reasonable link speed and reasonable stability.. and in v5 utility I can tell what is going on.. none of this is easy or like it should work out of the box. -
How do I set up a video conference with 2 on same network and 3rd remote
I have a .Mac account with two computers on the same home network. My wife has an iSight camera on her iMac which she video chats (using my .Mac Acct) with our daughter in another city on her MacBook Pro (she too has a .Mac acct).
I would like to join in on the video chat with my camera (different room, but on the same network with my wife).
My internet connection is Comcast (360kb up and 8000 down).
How would I do this.Hi Scott,
OK first make sure all people have an AIM name or @mac screen name. That is one each and no shares or Alias @mac accounts. http://www.siriusaddict.com//ichat.html
Make sure all have set the System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming to 1.5mbps.
If the Mac Firewalls are On, make sure the iChat ports are set as per these instructions:
http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page4.html second pic
Make sure the modem with the two computers has Port Triggering or UPnP enabled to allow multiple computers to use the ports at the same time. It will not work with Port Forwarding or DMZ as these point to One IP Address.
If the ports at the remote modem are open or they are using UPnP you should now be good to go.

An interesting observation...when I have a MacBook Pro connected and select Computers on my AppleTV2, the name of the MacBook computer comes up on the screen and allows me to select it and view photos from my iTunes library. Orks perfectly. When my Windows 8 PC is connected, and I select Computers on my AppleTV, the name of the PC does NOT come up on the computer list, but instead the AppleTV immediately tries to download pictures from the PC itunes library. It runs for ~2 minutes then generates an error message saying it could not connect to the iTunes library and to make sure it is tunrned on, connect to the same network, and use the same blah, blah, blah. I know all the settigns on the network are correct because my MacBook works perfecty. So frustrating that my PC worked previously before the recent iTunes software update. What to do to fix it?
Hi Rickgal,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Based on the information, it does sound like this behavior is isolated to your PC. I recommend trying the troubleshooting steps in this article on your PC:
Troubleshooting Home Sharing
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972
Start with turning Home Sharing off and on again, as explained in step 3:
Go to File > Home Sharing and choose Turn Off Home Sharing.
Choose File > Home Sharing > Turn On Home Sharing.
When prompted, enter the Apple ID you'd like to use.
Click Turn On Home Sharing, then Done.
Best Regards,

Can't get Airport Extreme and Express to join same network
I recently bought an Airport Extreme so I could create a wireless network with my Airport Express. THis way I could browse the internet and stream music to my stereo at the same time. After spending hours trying to get both AP Extreme and Express linked together in a WDS network, I have failed time and time again. I have no problem setting the AP Extreme as the WDS main. My iMac and laptop connect to the AP Extreme just fine. I can set up the AP Express to stream music via iTunes to my stereo without problems. But to get them working together in the same network has got me stumped.
I've set the AP Extreme as WDS main and Express as WDS remote. They are both set to same wireless channel. Where am I going wrong? Is it a 802.11n/802.11g compatibility issue?
I'd appreciate any insight. Thanks.adrian,
I have done this a dozen time today with different base stations like yours.
The only thing I can think of is this:
1. With the WDS Main, make sure you have the address of the Remote in the box.
2. With the WDS Remote, make sure you have the address of the Main in the box.
3. Make sure both base stations have the same network name in the wireless tab.
Then restart both base stations.
Let us know what you find out.

I haev a main mac at my main home which syncs itunes to my ipad and iphone with no problem. I want to access the same itunes content at my mac in my second home which is obviously on a different network. I have my ipad and iphone with me so they can be on the same network as the second mac. I can share the purchased itunes content but not the uploaded content. Any ideas?
Ok well that is not uploaded content. Maybe ripped content is a better term.
You can transfer purchased content from your iOS devices into the new Mac if you want.

I would like to rent a movie from iTunes on one of my apple tv's and would like to know if I can watch that movie rental on another apple tv on the same network. I used to rent movies on my Mac and was able to watch on different apple tv through home-sharing.

Movies rented on an Apple TV can not be transferred to a different device. See this article for reference -
