Access to itunes on shared folder

I moved my itunes library to the shared folder following the directions on line. When i open the other user account on my mac it says there is no folder, i click on locate and then select the shared itunes folder and it says that it is locked or you do not have permission. Under user accounts i ensured that both users have read and right. How do I unlock the folder?

How do I access video in my shared folder from iMovie on my iPad?

I shot video on my iPhone and put it in a shared folder on iCloud. I can access this video on my iPad in the Photo app in the shared folder but this video is not available in iMovie on the same iPad. How do I make this available?
Thanks!

Try this reset ....
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If that doesn't help - try quitting the videos app and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
No need to completely reset content or restore the device yet.

"...write access was not granted" - shared folder

Hi
When I try to save files (edited) to shared folder on another Mac - I get these errors:
"The disk copy of "file name" was changed since you last opened or saved it. Do you want to save anyway?" - yes
"Could not save "file name" because write access was not granted"
I'm working in Photoshop CS 6 (version 13.0.6 x 64) - System Yosemite on a iMac from 2014.
The shared folder is placed on a iMac from 2014, Yosemite. I have had Apple support on the shared folder - every thing is set correct.
I can see it's a common problem with Adobe Photoshop. Please send a link how to fix the problem or write the solution

I can see it's a common problem with Adobe Photoshop.
Or maybe it’s a common mistake on the user side.
Networks, removable media | Photoshop | CS4 and later
Anyway, this is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.

Can application A access the "itunes file sharing" files of application B

Hi,
Suppose that application B has files in itunes file sharing (i.e. files which can be saved onto the pc desktop via itunes). Can application A access these files?
I know that there is some sandboxing, but dont know to what extent.
Thanks

Hi,
I mean the files which can also be viewed in the "file sharing" section of itunes e.g. :
http://slidetorock.com/help/itunes-file-sharing.png
Clearly these files are stored in a different way to other files associated with the application. e.g. If I connect my iphone to a linux machine I can easily view these files for the different applications (but not other files of the app).
I presume apps can also access other apps files which are viewable in "file sharing"?
Thanks

Access to Client Vpn shared folder

Hi everybody!
Does anybody know why if a vpn filter is applied to a group-policy in an ipsec vpn with an ASA 5520, the server in the enterprice can't access to the shared folder in the Vpn client at home? They can ping each other when the vpn connection is estabilished!It works using only the split-tunnel! Thank!

I have used both method, but with the filter applied in the group-policy (source: VPN pool; destination:server)
It does't work. It says "Network resource not available". If I don't use the filter it works fine.

Access Denied Error For Shared Folder with Win Server 2008R2 Task Manager Scheduled Task

Hi,
I have scheduled a Task with the Task scheduler. It invokes an .EXE file after every 5 min.
The application is supposed to access some files lying on a different Server's shared path, process them and move them across folders on the Shared path only.
Problem: When the .EXE gets executed from the Task scheduler, I am getting "Access Denied to the Shared path" error. I have already given Full Control to Everyone as well as to the Account with which the Task has been configured with.
Another important point to note is, if I run the .EXE manually, the solution is able is able to do everything intended; I don't get any Access Denied error.
Kindly help me with what needs to be done in order that this issue is resolved. This is really urgent for me.
Thanks a lot in advance..
AC

Hello Alex,
first of all, make sure your task was correctly create: How to Create Advanced Tasks with the Task
Scheduler.
Please, read these:
TechNet Library Task Security Context
TechNet Forums post How
does "Run with the highest privileges" really work in Task Scheduler ? - Look at the answer "...When you want to run a program with admin rights from a standard user account, you have to select "run whether the user is logged
on or not" and select a user which is member of the admingroup."
TechNet Forums post
Log on as batch job right (written on previous post)
serverfault Task Scheduler is not executing the program
serverfault
unable to schedule a task (access denied)
UAC: Do you receive the User Account Control "Windows need your permission to continue" message to approve the scheduled application ?
If yes, maybe "Run with highest privileges" option will not take precedence of the UAC. While the Admin Approval Mode for built-in Administrator account is enabled, UAC will still ask for approval according to the settings on the Behavior
of elevation to prompt for the administrators. Check whether the "User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for built-in Administrator account" is enabled. If yes, disable it or change the setting on "User Account Control: Behavior
of elevation to prompt for the administrators" to elevate without prompting.

Library problems with two XP user accounts accessing music in shared folder

I'm sorry if this has already been answered; I have not been able to find the answer. My wife and I each have a different user account on the same Windows XP machine. I recently combined our iTunes libraries into the shared folder on the computer. I correctly pointed iTunes (in each of our accounts) to the correct location for the music files. I did an "Add Folder to Library" to make sure each account had all of the music. When I did this, I got duplicate listings of all of the songs that also had exclamation points. When I did a "Get Info" on these songs, I found that each song was correctly pointed to the correct file location. I laboriously deleted each "exclamation point" song one at a time (in each account). Now the problem I have is that whenever my wife or I close iTunes and the other person opens iTunes in their XP user account, none of the songs can be found. The best way I've been able to resolve this is to (unfortunately) delete the entire library, and do an "Add Folder To Library" to find all of the song locations and include all of the songs back into the library. Surely this can't be how this is supposed to work.
So, my questions are:
- Do I need to add new albums / songs one at a time to avoid duplicates (rather than use the "Add Folder" for the entire iTunes music folder again)?
- How do I setup iTunes so that my wife and I can each go into iTunes in our seperate XP accounts and have all of our songs right where we left them (WITHOUT having to delete the entire libary and "add" again.)
FYI: I'm using the latest version of iTunes and (again) I'm using Windows XP.
My wife and I really want to each get a new iPod Nano, but if I can't trust iTunes... forget it.
THANKS!!!

I have this setup at working. Two accounts with all files stored on a shared folder, mine is a network drive. Each account has its own library and can access all files. We also use one iTunes account for rare purchases.
This is how did initial setup:
Make a folder in the shared folder. I called mine itunes.
This is where iTunes stores its files.
With second account point iTunes at shared folder.
Import the folder you created earlier.
This worked for me without duplications. The only complication is that when importing from CD with one account the other doesn't know it. The other account must do import on the folder for the CD just imported. We keep track of this with a spreadsheet updated to show which account has which CD files.

Access MS Access database on remote computer (shared folder)

Hello,
I need some help.
I've made a program and it works fine on my computer, but multiple users will be using program simultaneously, each one on his own computer conected over local network to mine computer (database is on my computer in shared folder).
When I try to access data on database (path is path of shared folder) i'm getting error 5013 (no database). The problem occurs only when I'm trying to read something from MS access database but not if I try to read data from .txt file, then it works fine...
I'm using ADO Tools
Can someone help me, I would be very greatful?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks to you Dennis I've managed to figure it out.
I'll explain this for future generations
1) I've created DSN. To do that open ODBC Data Source Administrator:
- for 64 bit app C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe
- for 32 bit app C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
In System DSN tab click Add.. then choose Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb) (If you do not have this on list download that drivers from web) --> FINISH.
Enter Data Source Name (mine is Test2) --> Select... --> now because the MS Access database is on shared folder on remote PC go to Network... --> Browse... and select that shared folder --> Finish. Now you'll see all .mdb files on that folder and you choose your database --> OK --> OK --> OK
2) Now in block diagram you connect string "DSN=your_dsn_name;" (mine was Test2) to ConnectionString connector of ADO Connection Open.vi
It worked for me.

How do you share photos so other users on computer can view photos in a shared folder?

I have a Apple 2 TB Time Capsule running on a 27" iMAC.
I contacted Apple Phone Support to help instruct me last month on how to set up a shared folder so all users on this computer and people connected to my network iwthin the home can share family & vacation photos. Apple Support ran me through several steps to set this up although I can't seem to re-figure these steps out. Phone Support contract ended.
I currently have a shared folder set up and gave all computer and network users read & write access to view folder. When I did this last month, I was able to set up one person who was successful in being able view and upload the photos to the shared folder. Trying to provide wife access to Shared Folder and have been unsuccessful in doing this.
Can someone please attempt to provide instruction (step by step) on how to provide users access to a created Shared Folder. I have spent two evening attempting to figure this out with no success.
Would greatly appreciate assistance.

See if this Apple article helps: iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users.

Folder disappears in shared folder on mac 10.9

Hi there
A user has access to his desired shared folder on the network. He can view the top level folder and on the next level down he can see TWO folders but no more. He is expecting to see a lot more,
None of them have been moved by the owner of the folder or tidied up by anyone that has the correct permissions. Other users on both PC and MAC are able to see all the folders.
He is using 10.9.2 Mavericks.
SMB and CIFS have been tried to connect, neither rectify the issue.

Durin, forgive me for not replying right away.
I am only using the motherboard audio - an 898. It's the rampage iv extreme board and I'm only using the built in audio output.
Yes, i was closing the software to get the audio back on the lynda.com training video. The thing that gets me is how it was working for two days before this happened. 6 chapters worth of lynda.com training videos. That's several hours of work going back and forth from the video playing to the audition software playing. Nothing changed from one night to the next morning. The only thing I did was install an update to flash the day before and I may not have shut down the computer right away when it was done. But somewhere between late that night and the next morning, the audio got to this place where it would slowly start distorting very badly on the video and the volume would slowly drop. It seemed to always happen to the video first, then the audition software. But eventually the audio was completely gone on both until I shut down the audition software which would seem to reset the audio somehow on both the video and the software....for a bit.

Report Shared Folder

Hi
Is it possible to restrict or grant access to the report shared folder by specific user level (not by role)?
For example there are 03 sub shared folder & user access should be:
Folder A (user1 only)
Folder B (user2, user3)
Folder C (user 4 only)

Thanks Max for quick reply. Actually I want to create different reports for number of users, and each of them will not be able to view other's report.
For example:
User 1 will be able to view/download Report 1 only
User 2 will be able to view/download Report 2 only
My first option is put in the Shared folder and litmit access to the subfolder but this does not work. Do you have any work around for this?
Thanks & Regards

If I move my iTunes media folder to the Shared folder....

Hello
I'd like to share my music libary with my wife's user account on our MacBook Pro so she can get some of my music onto her iPhone. I've read the article on the Apple site as well as similar articles from other reputable Mac user websites and it seems simple enough.
I move the iTunes media folder into the shared folder and then redirect iTunes in the two separate accounts towards the new library locations whilst unticking the box 'Copy to the iTunes Media folder when adding to library' and then the same library is used by iTunes for both user accounts.
My question is: what are the implications for Apps when doing this? This method allows us to share music which is simple enough because she doesn't have any so the new library will just be my music.
But we both have our own collection of apps bought and downloaded through our individual accounts. Her apps are in the iTunes Media folder in her own account whilst mine are in mine. If we share an iTunes media folder as our shared libary, how does the storage and synchronisation of apps function?
Thank you for any help..

Sorted - worked it out myself.
In case it's of any use to anyone else, I moved my iTunes Media folder into the Shared section of the drive and let iTunes know this which has had absolutely no effect on my library or my access to my media.
My wife's iTunes simply has access to my media and she can add it to her own library (which already contains her own apps) without moving the media from my shared folder because I deselected that 'copy to itunes when adding to library' box.
Now she has her own media folder and library but can access my stuff...

In my system preferences, my sharing folder will not let me access it. All my photo booth share button is grayed out. One more thing, My photoshop will not let me import any photographs. I believe this all has to do with this. Any way to fix this issue?

The iTunes Store has no phone support and never has. Contacting them has always been via web form. Go here:

Hello All,
we have created shared folder on multiple client machine in domain environment on different 2 OS like-XP,Vista, etc.
from some day's When we facing problem when we are access from host name that shared folder is accessible but same time same computer when we are trying to access the share folder with IP it asking for credentials i have type again and again
correct credential but unable to access that. If i re-share the folder then we are access it but when we are restarted the system then same problem is occurring.
I have checked IP,DNS,Gateway and more each & everything is well.
Pls suggest us.
Pankaj Kumar

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the same shared folder can be accessed by name, but can’t be accessed be IP address and asks for credentials.
Please try to enable the option below on the device which has shared folder:
Besides, check the Advanced Shring settings of shared folder and confrim that if there is any limitation settings.
Best Regards,
Eve Wang
