Can I connect a NAS-based library and music files to an outboard DAC via ethernet

I am running iTunes via a Drobo Transporter NAS through an Airport Express using the analog output but would like to send the digital signal via ethernet to an outboard DAC. Is this possible? I haven't been able to get it to work. I am running a 2009 Macbook Pro 17", OS X 10.9.5, iTunes 11.4, Airport Extreme as router, ethernet connected to Airport Express. My network: internet from microwave tower to Airport Extreme via ethernet connection. Airport Extreme connected to 5-port switch which connects via ethernet to Transporter, outboard DAC, and Airport Express. My music files and iTunes library are on the Transporter.

Thanks, Niel! As it turned out, I had a LaCie rugged drive at my place which had both Firewire 400 and Firewire 800 connections and cables. So I hooked it up to the old iBook, pulled my sister's stuff onto it as instructed in the ppc to intel thread, and then hooked it up to the Macbook Pro. Problem solved! - almost. We did have two issues:
1. My sister has a lot of music - more than 12 gigs were on the iBook's hard drive, but only about 6 made it onto the Macbook Pro. Why is that? I also got a message, when I was trying to move the music folder from the old library onto the new one, that OS X needed this folder and it couldn't be modified. Again, why is that? How, then, do you move files from a PPC to a machine running Lion? Again, a lot of her music files did make it over, but not all of them.
2. All her photos did seem to come over - in duplicate, maybe even in triplicate. That is so annoying! The same thing happened to me when I was migrating between my old eMac G4 and my iMac G5. Why on earth does iPhoto do this, and how can we make it stop?!
But we did manage to get a lot of her stuff onto the new machine. When we get the adapter, she'll be able to add the files that are on the Verbatim drive. You've been very helpful!

  • Can I connect an externa hard drive and access files from 2 or more computers wirelessly?

    Is there a way to connect an external hard drive to my linksys modem and access the files wirelessly by 2 or more computers?
    I have a wireless G wrt54G modem working on windows XP a desktop and laptop on my home system. I have a WD “my book” external hard drive with a usb interface. My modem does not have a USB interface.
    At work I also have 4 laptops  using XP and vista and looking to have them all access an external hard drive and printers. I have not selected a hard drive for the work system.
    If yes can I add 2 or more printers and print form all connected computers?
    If yes, is it possible to access the files of the external hard drive (home system) via the internet?
    Thanks in advance for all your help

    First, your WRT54G is a router, not a modem. Different function.
    Yes, you can  "connect an external hard drive... and access the files wirelessly by 2 or more computers," just not that external hard drive. You need one that supports network attachment, with an ethernet connection.
    And you can print to printers from various computer, again if the printers are made to support that.
    The answer to your last question is maybe. Oh, it's definitely possible, but may require learning about static IP addresses, dynamic DNS, firewalls, port forwarding, file sharing...

  • Can I move PARTIAL library and music files to a 2nd authorized computer?

    On my main desktop computer I have a vast library of music in iTunes. I've created a separate "smart" playlist that includes only my 4- and 5-star rated songs. I want to move these and ONLY these to my laptop, and not the entire library. Is there a way to do this?

    Sure. What kind of a setup do you have? Are both PCs on the same network with file sharing turned on? Or do you have an external hard drive or thumb drive everything will fit on?
    All you need to do is open that playlist, go to the itunes menu > edit > select all.
    Click your mouse on the highlighted bundle and drag it over to whatever folder you want to drop it in - either the network share of a laptop folder, or the storage device. Then add them to itunes once they are on the laptop's hard drive.
    You could also use Home Sharing, if the laptop and desktop are set up on your home network.

  • Transfer iTunes Library and Music to new computer

    I know this has probably been asked many times before but can anyone help me transfer my iTunes Library and Music files to my new computer. I just bought a new iMac and need to move things. I had previously moved my Music files to my external hard drive as my old computer hard drive was getting full. So I have my Library on my old computer and my Music files on my external hard drive. I want to transfer both onto my new computer (both on internal hard drive).
    How do I do this?

    Yes, read the other discussion and what I am saying to do is copy the iTunes folder from the internal drive onto the external drive with the music already stored there.
    You should now be able to open the library directly from that location using the linked start up directions from the other thread. If that works, you can then move the drive to another computer and open the library there using the same start up instructions.

  • Why can't I buy an In-APP purchase? It says that I can not connect to the iTunes Store and that I will have to contact iTunes Store Support.

    Hey everyone
    With my iPhone 4S I purchased the NAVIGON Europe App, downloaded needed files and maps within the App and all worked fine. But when I try to buy certain add-ons via In-App purchase I get a window telling me that it can'T connect to the iTunes store and that I have to contact iTunes store support.
    This is what I have already tried to make it work:
    Reset my iphone via iTunes (set it up as new iPhone)
    Changed itunes store payment option from Click&Buy to credit card
    restarted iPhone several times
    scratched my head
    checked restrictions under settings in iPhone: all is correct; in-App purchases allowed
    chewed my lip
    finally sent a message to the itunes store support.. waiting for their answer
    no changes so far. I still get the same error message.
    Any ideas?
    hugs

    You will need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    Hi there I am having trouble with my outlook express this is the first time it has happened it keeps telling me can't connect to the SMTP server and every password I have tried is incorrect this is for 'iCloud' very frustrating as all our phones are ok

    Well I am feeling a bit silly now because that was all I had to do. In the past Workgroup Manager had always opened right up to the list of my users, I never even thought to click on that but apparently that was all that was needed.
    I still am not sure how the iChat Server preferences changed themselves on me, but it is not the first time I have had weird "settings" issues with our Snow Leopard Server.
    Thanks!

  • Users can only connect to RD farm website and cannot remote into terminal server , when connected via VPN

    Hello,
    I have a RD farm using 3 Win 2012 servers (1 broker and 2 session host), for internal use only, have not
    configured gateway for internet access.
    Users are able to connect to RD farm website and remote into terminal server, within office
    but can only connect to RD farm website and cannot remote into terminal server , when connected via VPN
    Its takes long time at securing connection and fails.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
    First of all I would suggest you to configure RD gateway role on your server and pass all the connection through it because it’s a best practice to use RD Gateway in RDS Farm. 
    Apart from this, if you are not using RD Gateway then you must check that you have successfully forwarded port 3389 for RDS to access via VPN. Also check that you have made configuration under IIS Manager to enable Forms Authentication. Please check
    this link.
    In addition, please refer beneath article for additional details.
    1. How to Access Windows Remote Desktop Over the Internet
    2. Remote Desktop Services in Windows 2008 R2 – Part 3 – RD Web Access & RemoteApp

    Hope it helps!

  • Does arch install library and header files into system when using abs?

    In traditional make way, when compiling a package, I must install some library or header file or tool packages to satisfy its depends, but after compilation, I do "make install", and run it. At runtime, library and header file and tool packages are not needed....
    This make a lot of unuseful packages are left in the system.....
    In arch linux , when I using abs to make a package, does these packages are left in the system ?
    How abs separates the compile-time depends and the runtime depends ????

    ==================
    Who remove them ? user or the abs ??
    I think the best method is file dependence , not package dependence.....
    Software is arranged by package. but its dependence is file. When Install a package, pacman check its file dependence, and install the packages which include those files....
    If a  not explicit installed package 's file does not required by any other packages , it can be removed automatically !
    In this situation ,pacman can find packages that not needed after compilation, and remove them.

    Hi,
    I would like to know as to how can I add links to open xml and csv files stored in another location? Please advice how to place links in my frame maker document?
    Kindly advice.
    Thanks
    Priya

    Special > Hypertext > Command "open document" will do its best to open the target document inside FrameMaker, which may not be much help; Special > Hypertext > Command "message …" will use the application you specify. The user guide for 7.0 says this about absolute links, and I don't think anything has changed since:
    For example, to start PaintBrush and open the Ship.pcx file on drive C you would use the command message system pbrush.exe C:/Ship.pcx
    I've not often used a relative link, and not recently: the same source says
    folder levels are separated by a slash / even in Windows and Mac
    [relative links] FrameMaker searches for a relative pathname beginning in the folder that contains the current document
    [absolute links] FrameMaker searches for an absolute pathname beginning at the top of the file system. In Windows, the absolute pathname begins with the drive specifier, a colon and a slash.

  • I click on "add to library" and the file shows up in my iTunes media file, but not in my iTunes.

    I click on "add to library" and the file shows up in my iTunes media file, but not in my iTunes.

    That didn't work - I'm so confused - it just doesn't make sense.  How could it be there, but not show up on itunes???

  • Backing up library and referenced files

    I download my images to an external F800 hard drive and organize them in folders labeled with the dates in which the download took place.
    I manage them in aperture as referenced files.
    I just got a second external hard drive for back up purposes. What is the best way to back up my library and referenced files?. My external hard drive allows daisy-chaining.
    Sorry if this is too simple a question, but before doing something wrong I rather ask.
    thanks for the patience and will to reply,
    best
    Mauricio

    Backup the Aperture Library to your new drive using Aperture's Vault feature. Backup the folders of Masters by Finder-copying the folders to the new drive immediately after the folders are created. That should be a nice clean workflow.
    Don't forget some type of off site backup to deal with the possibility of fire or theft.
