Copying itunes files via wireless network?

I'm trying to consolidate my PC's itunes library with the one on my recently purchased macbook. I am able to access and listen to the music through a wireless network (if itunes is open on both computers), but I'm confused as to how to add the shared files to my mac's library permanently. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

well this is what i did on my macbook to get it from my itunes.
In the findre menu select go and connect to server and enter your pc's ip address. It should come up and just enter the name on the other computer and password and u should be in.
Also remember to enable sharing in the system prefrences and select personal file sharing. And do what ever on ur pc to allow sharing.
Hope this helps!

    Thank you

    So it seems from reading the COMMAND manual that my first issue is that I used a 16GB SD card, and the manual says it will only recogize up to a 2GB SD card. I did use my MB Air's SD card slot and crated a folder and dragged the music files to it, then to the card. So I am going to get a 2GB card and try that next. Otherwise just stick with the iPOD connected. At least that is 8GB

  • Copy itunes files to MP3

    How do you copy itunes files, playlists to MP3 player?

    If you need to convert a file from one file type to mp3:
    1. Click "edit from your top menu bar and choose "Preferences"
    2. Open "Import Settings"
    3. Set "Import Using:" to "MP3 Encoder" and click okay.
    4. Click okay on the Preferences box.
    5. Now you can right click on any song that is not an MP3 and choose to "Make MP3 version"
    5. It will create a duplicate of the song in your library, but the dup will be the correct version.

  • Can print via usb, but not via wireless network

    My new MacBook Pro prints to my Epson RX500 when the printer is connected via USB to the MBP. However, when the the printer is connected by USB to my desktop PC running XP, the MBP does not print to it. I can see disks and transfer files wirelessly among desktop PC, laptop PC & MBP. The MBP finds the RX500 on the network, and has a driver for it. I can set it as the Mac's default printer. When I print, say from OpenOffice or TextEdit, the dialogs seem ok. Sometimes I see the print queue icon wink in and out on the dock. But the document doesn't get printed. The desktop says the printer is shared, and I can print over the wireless network from my PC laptop running XP.
    One of the Apple troubleshooting pages suggests that I should have the same driver version on my XP desktop and my Snow Leopard MBP. I don't know how to tell what version the PC is running.
    Any suggestions?

    Just to be sure - you know that you can't use Epson's "USB-only" driver for printing to a Windows-shared printer?
    You must use the Gutenprint driver - that's why Apple included the Gutenprint drivers in OS X.

  • Hp v40 on xp desktop and is shared via wireless network. laptop with windows 7 wont print on v40.

    Can't print from laptop (windows 7) via wireless router .to desktop (windows xp) with usb attached HP v40 all in one.
    Laptop (7) ----- wireless router ----- desktop (xp) - -usb-- HPv40
    Worked when laptop was running xp.
    Laptop spools print job to desktop and seemingly completes, but the desktop simply ignores the print job.
    No error messages.
    printing from the desktop work just fine.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I am reporting this as solved. I submitted this problem. The problem started when updated my laptop from Windows XP to Windows 7. When I did, The Lexmark printer on my desktop worked find with the new laptop system. The HP V40 did not work. The Desktop simply received each print job submitted from the Laptop (via a wireless local network) and discarded it. I could see the print job come into the V40 print queue and could see it disappear.
    Here is what I did to solve the problem:
    I tried a dozen or so combinations of removing and installing the printer on both my Windows 7 laptop and my Windowx XP desktop (with the V40 attached via USB), and manually removing and installing print drivers on my desktop  PC, it finally works. What did I do? I have no idea, but I believe that manually removing the v40 drivers on the desktop was part of the solution. While viewing the available printers on my XP desktop, I clicked on File and one of the tabs led me to a place where I could remove drivers for each printer ( I just removed the ones for the V40).
    Here is what I DID NOT DO:
    I did not follow the advice of the HP support person that I contacted via the telephone. That advice was to reinstall Windows XP on my desktop. That clearly was not the problem when I spoke to him. But he would NOT listen to reason. Thankfully, I have enough PC knowledge to know that his advice bas bogus
    I am pleased with the resulting availablilty of the V40 again.
    I have no idea how to officially close this problem.
    I would be happy to discuss this with anyone else who has a similar problem, but when I submitted this problem with my name and email address, the moderator removed my problem submission. Hence, I think anyone who wants to know more is out of luck.

  • Itunes Kills my wireless network??

    Any one have any idea why when I am using Itunes it disconnects me from my wireless network? When I have it connected via a cat5 cable it works fine. I have a server with all my tunes on it and my entire library is on there. This system has been working fine for years until I went to a wireless card in my own pc. Windows media player streams my tunes fine across the network. I am using a TP-LINK TL-WN651G adapter running at 54mbs. The network drops out after about 15-20secs of playing a song or adding one etc etc.
    Please help

    I have also tried updating from version 7 to 8 Itunes. This did not fix the issue.

  • Connecting MacBook to printer via wireless network

    I have a wireless network via cable modem with some PCs attached and a printer but am having trouble connecting my new MacBook to the HP LaserJet 2100 printer via wireless. I do not have airport express and not sure I need it to have the MacBook print to this printer. Please advise.

    Hi topgunner,
    How is the printer connected? Are you trying to share it via a PC through wireless? Or is it connected directly to a router/hub that is enabled for printer sharing?

  • Laserjet 200 will print via wireless direct but intermitte​ntly (once) via wireless network

    Tried various troubleshooters on Hp and Apple websites to get this working consistently.
    Installed new drivers for OSX Yosemite 10.10 - thought all would work fine as went through installing, printing test page etc.  Then printer becomes unavailable - although it is on the list of printers.
    Same thing has happened variuos times after re-installing it.
    Will print directly via USB and wireless direct - but I want to print via the wireless network.
    tried all the usual things - making sure on the right wireless network, restarting everything etc.
    Using an airport router - are there some settings on this that may be causing an issue - odd though as will print once when initially connected to the wireless network.
    Any ideas?

    Hi @iphonebore,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that your HP Laserjet 200 M267NW will not stay connected to your wireless network running Mac OS X 10.10. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
    Please see the following guides:
    'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the HP Printer Will Not Print. (Follow the steps for Mac OS X 10.7, and 10.8, as they will work on 10.10.)
    Printer Does Not Maintain a Wireless Connection. (This will help you with maintaining the wireless connection.)
    As well, please see this post, Incoming and Outgoing Printer Ports, by @VisionAiry, and verify that none of these ports are being blocked by your router.
    One more place for some more wireless printing information is our HP Wireless Printing Center - Troubleshooting Issues website.

  • Connecting to Windows Computer via wireless network (Password issue)

    I have a wireless network set up at my house, and we all can see each other's shared computers, and the windows machines can connect to each other without a problem.. but my Mac cannot connect to them, but they can connect to me. When I goto "Connect to Server" it asks me for a username and password for the windows machine.. I don't know what to do from here!!! Please help, thanks a bunch

    In your Sharing panel, did you go into "Options" and check the box for sharing via SMB?
    Then from XP you should be able to reach the Mac via //(ip# or DNS name)/
    and you should see the available shares.

  • Can't connect PC and Mac to print via wireless network

    I have the HP Office Jet All-In-One 6500. I've never been able to get both my Mac and PC to print wirelessly.
    First, Mac worked fine wirelessly, then had to print via ethernet for PC. Then that quit working for PC. So I uninstalled printer drivers on PC, reinstalled and it works great printing via the network.
    However, now my Mac -- my main computer -- wont print. It spends hours "connecting....." MacBook running Leopard OS 10.5.8.
    Why can't both computers access this printer over the same wireless network? Absolutely NO settings were changed on my Mac from the time it worked, until now. Only thing I did was get the PC to work.
    I've tried turning the printer off and restarting.... didn't help.
    I bought this wireless printer so that both computers could use 1 printer.... I don't want to have 2 printers for my little office! Please help HP!

    First, please look on the label underneath the router and let us know the exact model and hardware version of the router. Also check which firmware you are running on the router at http://192.168.1.1/ and verify that you are actually running the most current firmware. You can find out which is the newest firmware on the downloads page of the linksys website.
    Second, is it possible that you used the Mac before to connect directly to the internet without the router? In that case it could well be possible that the Mac is still doing so, connecting to the internet itself, bypassing the router and thus terminating whatever internet connection the router established before (which the PCs were using).
    Third, after being kicked out, please check the following in a command prompt window on the PCs ("Run..." and enter "cmd"). "ping 192.168.1.1" you should still get replies.
    Fourth, what is the IP address and gateway address which the Mac gets when getting online?

  • Possible to Scan via Wireless Network?

    Is it possible to add a flatbed scanner via an Airport wireless network? I have my Airport network set up and I am able to print wirelessly. The printer is an Epson all-in-one (Stylus Photo RX 500) so it includes a scanner. I can scan when hooked directly into the computer via USB but I have not been able to do so wirelessly. Is there a way to set this up, or am I limited to wireless printing only?
    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    We have a cable modem that is currently set up to provide a LAN to a PC and desktop mac via ethernet. We recently purchased a laptop with airport extreme. Instead of stringing new cable and to give complete mobility with laptop, thought to set up a wireless netwrork, and bought a netgear wireless modem.
    I not quite sure I understand your current network configuration as you described it. What is the make/model of your cable modem? ...and what is the model of your wireless Netgear router?
    If I understand what you're trying to achieve, then your network configuration should be something like the following:
    Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > [Internet port] Wireless Netgear router [LAN port #1] > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] PC, AND
    [LAN port #2] > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] Desktop Mac, AND
    (wireless) > wireless computer(s)
    I tried to dial in to the netgear wirelessly, but kept comin gup against dead ends between not finding a netwrok, etc.
    Do you mean you tried to access the Netgear's web-based administration pages to set it up?

  • HT3231 How long migrate via wireless network?

    How long does it normally take to migrate all data from one Mac to another via a wireless network?

    It may, depending on the configuration of your Network Preferences.
    If you're about to give up on wireless anyway, try plugging in the cable and then turn off AirPort by clicking one of the computer's WiFi menus and selecting "Turn Wi-Fi Off". Migration Assistant will probably pause for a moment or two, after which it will either continue at a faster rate or simply give up. In the latter case you will have to start it again.
    When you do leave Wi-Fi "off" to ensure it uses the wired connection.

  • Copy iTunes file path to Comments field?

    Since there is no built in way to display the file path of files in your iTunes library, can you copy the file paths to the "Comments" field?
    Teridon wrote an awesome script that will copy them into the "Description" field, however, this overwrites what you have in that field and is not desirable especially for podcasts.
    I attempted to adapt his vbs to write to track.Comments, but "Comments" is not a valid object?
    Any ideas?

    I haven't tested it, but I think if you use "track.Comment" instead of track.Description it will work. i.e. change this line:
    track.Description = FileList
    to this:
    track.Comment = FileList
    Of course, this will overwrite any existing Comment field.
    Oh, and the entire script (for putting the file path in the description) is here:

  • Why can't I copy a file across a network?

    I am having a very peculiar problem copying a simple text file across a network.  The problem occurs when I try to copy from a newly purchased and newly upgraded MacBook (13 inch aluminum 08) to a 2010 Mac mini.
    When I try to copy from the MacBook to the mini, Document folder to Document folder, I get this message:
        A new item named “filename” already exists in this location.  Do you want to replace it with the one you’re moving?
    If I click Replace, I get this message.
         The operation can’t be completed because an item with the name “” already exists.
    If I click Keep Both, the process begins to create thousands (yes thousands!) of numbered copy files with the same file name and zero contents.
    Copying from the MacBook to a different Mac works normally.
    The problem, I suppose, stems from the fact that I migrated my user account from the Mac mini to the MacBook.  But, I’ve done that before without a problem, so what is happening?
    I also suppose that the solution is to delete the migrated user account on the MacBook and create a new one, but that’s a nuisance.
    Can anyone solve this puzzle?
    Thanks-
    Robin

    Sorry I couldn't help.  You mention copying a simple text file, then mention ~/Documents to ~/Documents, then finally mention migration assistant.
    It's honestly not too clear what you're tyring to accomplish.  Do you have mutliple user accounts now and you want to thin them down?  Do you simply want to get your Documents from the mini to the new computer?  I copy between Macs all the time (ML to Mavericks, Mavericks to Mavericks).  The worst thing I've faced is the need to reset home permissions and ACLs.
    Many of the guru's who frequent the Mavericks area also come here.  I'm sure one of them can help.  Good luck.
