Audiobooks - sharing between computers on same account

Hey guys,
I have various audiobooks that are in my home laptop. I'd love to listen to them at work, on my work computer, like i do with my music. But for some reason they do not seem to want to sync. I'm even struggling to get them to sync to my iphone. Even though i have the "sync audiobooks" box ticked in the phone menu on itunes.
Can someone help?
Thanks

Hi,
In iChat to Add a Screen Name as an Account.
If iChat has been launched before open it and go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts.
Click the + Button lower left of the list (It should at lest have Bonjour in it).
This opens a pane with a drop down as the top item.
This drop down has 5 choices in iChat 4 and above.
Choosing the AIM one is for AIM Registered names (At their Site)
If you registered in the form "username" then enter that.
As it is possible to Register as "username@email address" then you have to enter it as you registered the name.
However adding @Mac.com or a MobileMe name in those choices has the software add the Relevant @mac.com or @me.com bits and you only have to type the username part.
Adding Buddies.
With your Buddy list Logged in go to the + button at the Bottom of the Buddy List.
In the options select Add Buddy.
In iChat 5 type the name of the Buddy as you were told it (for @mac.com ones that means the whole [email protected] Same for MobileMe names ).
iChat 4 had a drop down at this point to chose the type of Account the Buddy has.
If you have iChat 4 then chose the relevant Account type and then type in the bits (username only) in the text field.
See here for Pic and more http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/versions/ichatvers4/HowtoAddBuddy.html
It is this pane that is different between the two versions
That Account name line does not have the Drop down in iChat 5.
SO the iMac gets the Account set up as the MobileMe name and Adds the AIM Buddy
The Laptop Adds the AIM name as Account and the MobileMe name as Buddy.
Hope that helps.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

ITunes Library shared between computers?

I have an iMac (OSX Lion) with two user accounts that are both sharing the same iTunes Library. We now have a Macbook Air with the same user accounts. The Macbook Air obviously does not have the same hard drive space and I therefore did not choose to migrate the library to the Air...What is the best way for each user to access the shared iTunes folder from the iMac? I would like to do this while on the same LAN as well as remotely if possible.
I assume that simply setting iTunes up for "Sharing" will handle the local area question, but what about while we are away from home? I assume that iCloud with iTunes Match would be the only answer?

Rented movies cannot be shared between computers. They can only exist on a single device at a time, and can only be moved from a computer to a player such as an iPod, iPhone or Apple TV. You cannot move a rental from one computer to another.
And yes, actually they do say that, in the Rentals FAQ, among other places.

Windows 8.1 ICS with file sharing between computers

Can someone help me get ICS working with file sharing between two computers (directly connected), without enabling file sharing on the internet network (on a public untrusted network)? Is this possible? I have set up ICS between two Windows 8.1
machines, but i can only get file sharing to work in one direction (from machine B to machine A)... UNLESS I turn on file sharing/discovery with the entire network from machine A (which i do not want to do). I am not sure this exact question has been
asked, so my apologies if it has.
Here is my configuration.
Machine A: win 8.1 (up to date), two NICs: a wireless card (connected to internet) and a gigabit NIC (connected to machine B)
Machine B: win 8.1 (up to date), one NIC, a gigabit card connected to machine A
What i did:
On Machine A: I enabled ICS on machine A's wireless card, which automatically assigned the IP address 192.168.137.1 to the second NIC
On Machine B:DHCP was enabled so it automatically got an ip address (192.168.137.62), internet sharing works fine (i can open a browser, get email, etc.)
On Machine B: I enabled "Find devices and content" on the network device
On Machine A: Going into "view network settings" it lists my wireless network and the gigabit NIC. The wireless under 'Wi-Fi' says 'Connected', and i can click on this and I have the option to turn on "Find devices and content".
On the wifi connection, i leave 'Find devices and content' turned OFF (so i don't discover computers on the wireless network, which is a public network). My gigabit NIC shows up as "unidentified network"/"Limited".
When i click on the gigabit NIC, it does NOT give me an option to turn on "Find devices and content", it just shows some properties of the NIC (manufacturer, description, driver, mac address) and button that says "Copy". On
the gigabit connection's properties (which is listed as "unidentified network/limited"), the option for 'Find devices and content' is missing.
On Machine A: I open a file browser and type '\\192.168.137.62' and it works correctly, i can see the computer and move files around.
On Machine B: It doesn't work. I open a file browser and type in "\\192.168.137.1", and nothing happens.
If i enable 'Find devices and content' on machine A's wifi connection, everything works, but now everyone on the public network can see my computer.
Question: How can i enable file sharing between machine A and machine B ONLY?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

The whole point of public networks is that they are unsafe, so file sharing is not permitted for your protection.
If you have a network which you know is safe, the way to get file sharing working is to change your security policy so that it is set to private, not public. You do this from the local security policy (on the ICS computer).

Sharing between computers

I have a problem with Sharing with my MacBook Pro. I originally set up sharing between my iMac and my MacBook. Until just over a month ago everything worked well.
Now I cannot get them to ‘talk’ even though my iMac recognizes that the MBP exists and tries to share but the MBP does not even ‘see’ the iMac.
I can see that others have had similar problems but none of the proposed solutions for those problems that I have tried have worked (so far) and even the Genius service in the Mac store in Las Vegas has drawn a blank. Has anyone a suggestion as to what might have gone wrong?
DAW

Had a feeling that might have been the case but didn't want to post an over-long initial request. Here goes:
My MBP is running version OS X 10.5.8 but I can't recall exactly what my iMac's is (I am away from home) both both computers are only a year old have latest software updates loaded.
I use it at home with a wireless router for to allow the two computers to link to the internet and if I am away from the iMac it provides me an with the ability to access my files.
The fault gradually appeared from some month or so ago as the MacBook Pro became reluctant to share with the iMac (until then it had worked superbly). It often required a couple of of attempts before linking up; however, if I was working on the iMac, I could link it to the MBP with no problems. Gradually the ability to link ether way became more problematic until neither would link to the other (although occasionally I could ‘Screen Share’ the MBP on the iMac). Also the MBP did not recognize the existence of any potentially shareable computers and finally even the ‘Shared’ label in the Finder menu disappeared.
I am now visiting my son and have found our Macs cannot see each other either. However, his Time Capsule does appear as a Share option on my Finder menu.
More curious is that when I visited the local Apple Store to try and resolve the problem, my machine could see all the other Computers in the store and the experts their could find no errors with my Sharing options in System Preferences.
As I type I have my son's TC shared but can see neither of his computers even though they are on, in use and they can see each other!

Transfer Phone Numbers Between Lines on Same Account

Hello,
I'm on a family plan currently with 5 lines. One of the lines is no longer used, but it's contract doesn't expire until 2014. We have another line (on the same account) that is month to month. We'd like to cancel the month to month line, but keep the phone number. Is it possible to switch the phone number we don't use with the phone number we do use and cancel the month to month line?
I'm sorry if that sounds really confusing. Thanks for your help!

No. The contract is associated with the phone number and can't be transferred to another line of service.

Home Sharing between 2 Apple ID accounts on separate PCs...can our iOS devices access both?

Hi All
Hope someone can help. My wife and I have separate iTunes accounts with separate Apple IDs on separate PCs.
We both have HomeSharing turned on and can access each others music libraries from both PCs which is great. However when I try to access the home shared libraries from our devices (I have an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2, and my wife has an iPhone 5) when connected to the home network I can only see my own shared library on my devices and my wife can only see her own shared Library from her iPhone 5.
Just for background we are both running the latest iTunes and are on win7 PCs, my iPhone 4 is on iOS7, the iPad 2 and iPhone 5 are currently running iOS6
Is there a way to see each others shared libraries on all our devices when we connect to the home network through wifi?
Many thanks!
Chris

Hello Chris G Shirley,
In order to do this, you would need to switch between the two Apple IDs used on each system in Settings > Music.
On iPhone, go to Settings > Music, then log in to Home Sharing using the same Apple ID and password.

Sharing between computers and phones.

I want to share music between 2 computers/ 2 iphones, and 2 different accounts (my wife's and mine). I have an old computer my wife uses and a new one that I use. I have music on both, but the old music is on one and the new music is on the other. I want to get all music on both and share between our accounts. Is this possible? Thanks.

File sharing between users on same macmini

Hi. I just set up different user accounts for my two kids. My account has some files on it that I would like to transfer to their accounts (school stuff, photos). How do I share files between users?

Finder > help menu. Enter file sharing!
"Sharing files with others who use your computer
You can share files with others who use your computer by placing the files in the Public folder in your home folder. Anyone with an account on your computer can read or copy the items you put in your Public folder (except for your Drop Box folder, which only you can open).
To share files using your Public folder:
Copy the files you want to share into your Public folder, inside your home folder.
To give a copy of a file directly to another person, copy it to their Drop Box folder (inside their Public folder), where only they can see it.

Can I setup a folder on the time capsule for sharing between computers not on my network?

I'm wanting to be able to share files between family members that don't live in the same household. How would I set up a single folder on my Time Capsule so everyone can use it as a shared network drive between Windows and Mac systems, with security?

No. Your Mac will mirror the folders on icloud.com.

2 computers on same account

I have a .mac account. Can I connect with my family at home (with a G5) when I'm travelling (with a macbook pro) on that 1 account? Or will it not work because it's like calling myself?
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi geeper,
It is more useful to have a second screen name.
Trial @mac accounts are free and worlk after the trial period is over.
AIM accounts are also free.
This would allow you to do more than Text (which can be done if both computers are on iChat 2.x) Chat.
When you get to iChat 3 in Tiger there is a setting to allow Multple Logins but does not allow you to Text chat to yourself.

Please Help: Session context sharing between wars in same app

I'm using iplanet iAS6.0 SP1.
I have to share a session among 6 wars inside my application.
I have tested individual wars and they work fine. Now during integration
i find that session is not being shared.
in my application descriptor i have included all the wars and I have
used the same context-root name for all war entries.
On of the wars is a login.war and it sets some user previlages info into
session which has to be shared among all wars.
I'm not able to get it working.
My settings in each war for session info go like this,
<session-info>
<impl>distributed</impl>
<dsync-type>dsync-distributed</dsync-type>
<timeout-type>last-access</timeout-type>
<secure>false</secure>
<domain></domain>
<path></path>
<scope></scope>
</session-info>
I'm stuck here. Documentation says on making session distributed and
setting dsync-type to distributed should work.
What else should be done in SP1.
Is it a must to move to SP2 to solve this. And even in SP2 is it
straight forward?
Please help

Thanks-- that wasn't exactly the solution, since the dates and times are correct and IP addresses on both machinges should have been handled by DHCP, but you solved my problem by reminding me that there is a TCP/IP extension, which I looked at and saw that TCP/IP was turned off. I turned it on, and now everything is as it was an hour ago. So thank you!

WRT160n not sharing between computers

My router allows both my laptop and desktop to connect to the internet, but I can not share files or for that matter even connect the two together. I am trying to set them up for gaming but they don't "see" each other. I have tried using the USB method of connecting, but keep getting an error. I have disabled Norton and Windows firewall but that did not change anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You need to set up File and Print Sharing for both computers. Go here.
