Airport Sharing Computer to Computer and to Other Rooms using Airport Expre

Hi
I am trying to link my Imac and Macbook to play my itunes music using the inbuilt airport, to save me putting all my songs on two computers as i have too many songs to put on my laptop. i have done this successfully, but wondered whether (and how) i could still play the music in other rooms utilising the 2 airport express plugs that i have. it seems that when i select the other speakers they do not work. i want to do this so i can select the music on my laptop from the comfort of my settee, but still play music in the other rooms.
Would be grateful for any help

Welcome to the discussions.
If I understand this correctly, you have music stored on 2 different computers, you want to sit in your setee, and access music from either computer to play.
You can of course share files from one to the other, but I am not sure it is possible to remotely access and control the iMac from the Macbook to play the music you have stored on the iMac.
You can transfer the files from the iMac to the Macbook and then extract them and play them.
This set up is not as straight forward and easy as it may seem.
I personaly do not know how to do it, if it is possible, I am not aware of any step by step instructions on how to do it.

    As long as you do not enable Sharing of any kind (System Preferences > Sharing) no other computer can connect with yours. Also make sure you have your wireless network protected with a WPA2 password.
    That's all I can suggest without knowing what OS version you are running (you are not running iOS as that is for iDevices).

  • My password pops up everytime I go to enter my email for logging in to a website. This is a shared computer and regardless of that, I don't want my password appearing, unencrypted.

    I accidentally typed my email AND password in the email box when logging on to a website. Now my password pops up everytime I go to enter my email for this website. This is a shared computer and regardless of that, I don't want my password appearing, unencrypted. I have cleared the cache, deleted cookies, cleared history, shut down and restarted the computer. How do I keep this from automatically appearing please?

    Hmmm, Norton extensions are broken again in Firefox 4.0.1. It seems that Norton didn't allow for Firefox 4.0 security updates when they updated their Firefox extension for Firefox 4.0. Norton says they'll have a fix in two weeks. A Norton user posted a fix in this forum thread.

    I have a Mac computer and am trying to use a Photoshop CS4 program, but after accessing my desktop files through Adobe Bridge and clicking twice on any of the pictures to get into Photoshop, instead of entering photoshop, I get on the lefthand side an enlarged version of the picture with red, yellow and green buttons on top. Any suggestions on what is wrong, or what can be corrected ?

    And there is the problem. Your pictures are opening up in Mac's own Preview app.
    Do you want all your jpegs to open in Photoshop, or only when you are in Bridge?
    Selecting a program to open a certain file is called: File Type Association.
    You can choose this at the MacOS level or the Bridge level.
    Here's how to do both:
    Either MacOS or Bridge has the wrong app associated with the jpeg. Let's start with MacOS
    Close Bridge and Preview. Select one of your jpegs, and press Cmd i, That will bring up the file info window.
    Go down to the "Open with" section of File Info.
    Choose Photoshop CS4 and click on the Change All... button to apply this choice to every jpeg on your Mac.
    Then open Bridge and see if double-clicking opens it in Photoshop.
    Now that means all jpegs on your Mac will open in Photoshop.  Maybe you don't want that.
    You can set your jpegs to open in Preview when Bridge is closed.
    When you open Bridge, there is Preferences > File Type Associations where you can direct Bridge to open the jpegs in Photoshop when you are viewing in Bridge.

  • I have a new computer and I want to use the "MasterPassword" again. How do I import all of the saved website passwords/logins from my old FireFox computer?

    I have a new computer and I want to use the "MasterPassword" again. How do I import all of the saved website passwords/logins from my old FireFox computer?

    A couple of methods.
    The first is to copy 2 files, key3,db and signons.sqlite from the profile folder of the old computer t the profile folder of the new computer. For details of how to find the profile folder see the [[profiles]] article.
    The second method is to install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2848/ Password Exporter] add-on on both computers and use that to export/import the passwords.

  • I have a 17" computer, and I'dlike to use the entire screen to view, but in order to do so, I have to press Control + several times at each site.

    I have a 17" computer, and I'dlike to use the entire screen to view, but in order to do so, I have to press Control + several times at each site. I don't want to use "full screen."
    Does anyone know how to set a default to maximize the screen? For some reason, the screen appears even smaller than my old 15" computer.

    Yes, it's a hassle to zoom every single site manually. You can "zoom" all sites using this add-on: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]. After setting your Global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.
    After installing NoSquint, click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
    If you don't have the Add-on Bar displayed, you can right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
    You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but I wouldn't go much higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
    If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.

  • Unusual Shared Computer and Lost External Hard Drive

    I cannot mount a Acomdata HD250FE5-72 external hard drive on my iMacG5. I can't find it in Disk Utility and I can't find it on my new MacBook. My TimeMachine hard drive is daisy chained to it and is working fine. The light on the front is red and flashes blue about once a sec.
    I also have a Shared Computer in the Finder named mac001ff3d22ed4, which I cannot connect to. It maybe related or just coincidence. Any advice?
    I found the drive in TimeMachine as a folder. Assuming the HD is hosed, how do I go about restoring that drive? I assume I need to purchase a new HD to restore to. Is that correct?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I don't know if your problem is related to the drive being encrypted, but here's a solution for getting SecureHD Login to work on Leopard.
    First make sure you follow this guide to uninstall the old version of SecureHD Login you have: http://www.techsupportlive.com/techsupport/MAC/SecureHDLogin/SecureHD_Login_(Uninstall)_User_guide_for_MacX.pdf
    Then download and install this version of the software: http://www.techsupportlive.com/index.php?m=downloads&a=viewdownload&downloaditemid=60&nav=0,8

  • Shared computer and apps and in-app purchases.

    My son and I share a computer to sync his ipod and my iphone.  He downloaded a free app, which was uploaded to our computer itunes account, then downloaded onto my iphone.  I ended up loving the app and want to make in-app purchases, but can't.  I get a message saying I must first download the app for which I'm making in app purchases for.  I assume this is because it was downloaded using him username on his ipod.  How can I get around this without deleting the app from my phone (and losing my game) and then downloading it myself?  Thanks!

    Bob,
    Apple did approve our in-app purchase without publishing the folio ahead of time.
    I have a new question: Can I change the "Cleared for sale" attribute in the iTunes Connect interface from no to yes before a folio's scheduled publication date? Or should I wait until after the folio has been published?
    I would think you could set the "Cleared for sale" attribute to yes before the publication date and it would not cause any problems since the folio is not available to purchase until it's published.

  • Installing some components from CS4 Design Premium on one computer and the others on a different computer?

    Hi All,
    I have bought a copy of Design Premium Student Edition.
    I have installed one copy of it on my parents computer at home.
    I was going to also install all the programmes on my laptop as well but I already have Illustrator CS3 and Photoshop CS3 on it. Would I be allowed to install all the programmes other than illustrator and photoshop onto my laptop and then install the Illustrator and Photoshop CS4 applications onto another computer?
    If so how do I go about doing it?
    Many thanks for your help.
    Best,
    Tom

    That would be a violation and the way I understand it, the student edition only allows for one activation.

  • I install adobe acrobat 7.0 in windows 8.1 and when I try to open it I get "application was unable to start correctly (0xc00000fd) click OK to close application".  This is a new computer and all other software works fine.

    Any one run across this?

    Hi econj,
    As Acrobat 7 is not supported by Windows 8, you might need to update the supported Adobe Acrobat version.
    Please navigate to the KB doc link given below to understand the system requirements for Acrobat 7.0:
