E3000: RE networking with other computers on the local network

Successfully installed an E3000 (internet and printer work) but cannot see other computers on my local network which are wired into the router, including my server.. I have read a bunch of messages but cannot find an answer. Thank you in advance

Usually when windows 7 computers are on the same LAN, they'll automatically tell you if another computer has already setup a homegroup. After making sure that upnp was kept enabled, delete any homegroups in all of the computers, then make a homegroup on one of the computers. When you go to create a homegroup on the other computers, they should tell you that one has already been created by another computer and to join that one. Here's an article for reference http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/help/home-sweet-homegroup-networking-the-easy-way#sectio...
I don't work for Cisco. I'm just here to help.

Sharing Aperture Library with Other Computers on the Home Network

Hello,
Forgive me if this question has been asked before, if it has, I missed it.
I have a mac on which I have Aperture and have taken the time to edit all of our family photos (cropping, color management, red eye reduction, etc.), so, after having done all of this, my wife, when showing her friends photos and such, would like to be able to have access to those photos on her mac laptop. But, I called Apple on this and their tech support guy made it sound like the only way to do this would be to create a web gallery for each set of pictures. And, I have to say, that solution seemed a bit extreme for sharing pictures within a home, not to mention the logistics for creating web galleries for tens of thousands of photos. So, the other option that occurred to me was that I could export all of the pictures into a directory and then have her iphoto import all of those pictures, however, there are two problems with that: 1) she is not up to date with new photos that have been added to Aperture and 2) the subfolder structure isn't preserved (i.e., it's just a huge mass of photos not a groups organized according to event).
So, my question is: does anyone know a better more practical way to do this? I would think it would be something that Apple would foresee and have a fix for but maybe not.
Thank you very much,
Ken

+"Single User License. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on one Apple-labeled desktop computer and one Apple-labeled laptop computer so long as both computers are owned and used by you."+
I own an iMac and I pretend to buy an Apple laptop as secondary computer for my home, just after vacations, as now I have some more important expenses that should deliver new set of photos into Aperture library.
iMac is in use by me, and my wife, and kid. I assume that it will be legal to install copy of Aperture on my new laptop. So I will end in same situation as you are today. In my opinion it will be legal to use Aperture on both computers, as both are in possession of my family, and at least in my country we are somehow single entity (we pay common taxes from our joint income etc.) - it depends on the marriage settlement, however we've choose it that way.
In this case I'll simple export library and import it on my secondary computer. I own my iMac, and I'll own my Macbook Pro. At the same moment my wife own them as well. I'm not sure about your situation, but it might work for you. The questions is, is it really legal?

Networking with other computers after xp updates stops

will networking with other computers be possible , safely after xp updates stops?

None of the functionality of Windows XP will change. Everything you can do today you will be able to do next month. The only thing that is different is the fact that there will no longer be updates issued for XP. If you
are doing ONLY internal networking with no internet access, you have nothing to worry about. If you have internet access, then you will need to be especially certain that the anti-virus is up to date, and you have a good firewall running.

Is it possible to control itunes dj from other computers on the same network?

is it possible to control itunes dj from other computers on the same network? we have a computer running itunes connected to our speakers here at work, and we'd like to be able to control it through the other comptuers on the network. is this possible, or do you have to use iphones/ipads/etc?

AC is corret you can do that. It might work a bit better for you if you use a wired connection vs a wireless one for the ATV's.

How do I easily connect to other computers on my local network?

Tiger was easy, Leopard has many confusing options that aren't clear to non-tech people.
I have 5 other computers on my local network. 3 are Leopard, One is Tiger and one is Panther.
All machines are password protected at startup.
Trying to configure my Leopard machines to be able to access each machine's hard drive with just a password input. Was easy in Tiger. Only Tiger and Panther machines can talk to each other now.
Confused by drop boxes, etc. (don't want)
Any FAQs on this?
Want Panther and Tiger machines to access Leopard (so needs to work both ways).
A simple shortcut would be super!

on the LAN, from apple to apple, and assuming you trust the other users on your LAN, I would recommend afp for file sharing over smb or ftp. Users' accounts have the permissions set up so others can connect directly to their Public folder (for read access - drag and drop copy a file) and to their Drop Box (in their public folder) (for write access - drag and drop a file) by mounting target computer icon on desktop as if an external or second hard drive, at least as far back as Panther and I think even Jaguar. Can't say for earlier than that -- don't remember anymore.
You need to turn on file sharing in the Sys Prefs on the computer being accessed. smb and afp had their own sharing checkboxes in Tigger's and Panther's Sys Prefs Sharing Services (called personal file sharing and windows sharing, as I recall); in Leo, they are in Sys Prefs Sharing File Sharing Options. "Full access" to non-privileged user accounts is done by username/password. Absolute full access to the entire computer requires afp login as admin user on the target computer. To get there in either case, in the Finder, it's Go Connect to Server ⌘k then afp://{target computer name or IP address} or Go Network ⇧⌘k and double click.
Remote keyboard/screen access is relatively easy, too -- more so with Leopard than with prior OSs. Won't delve into that here coz' I didn't think you were so interested in that, but can post additional info if desired.

Why can't Apple TV's and iOS devices see home sharing on my Windows 7 computer when iTunes libraries on other computers on the same network and connected to the same Home Sharing can?

I have never previously had any problems with Home Sharing, I have always found it to be completely reliable as advertised. I have 2 computers in the house, (one MacBook and one Windows Desktop) connected to the same Home Sharing account, connected to the same BT Home Hub 4. My situation is that I have nearly 2TB of data of which I would like to share with the home wirelessly, in my mind the desktop is the logical place for this to be shared from.
When running, iTunes on this desktop broadcasts to other iTunes libraries, but no other iOS devices or Apple TV's connected to the same Home Sharing account cannot see it.
I have tried turning Home Sharing off, and then turning it back on, closing iTunes, restarting the computer, going to Network and Sharing Centre and unticking IPv6 in the network adapter properties, even completely wiping the computer and reinstalling Windows 7.
One of the Apple TV's in the house was recently purchased by my parents with the promise from me that everything would work seamlessly... so far it isn't and I am frustrated that the Apple technology that I have come to rely on isn't working as expected.
One thing that has occurred to me upon writing this is that it is a very large amount of data, and I have not attempted to share this with another computer that is currently working and broadcasting it's Home Share fine.
I am sorry if I have ommitted any important details, any further questions don't hesitate to ask. I would be so grateful of any suggestions, my parents are depending on me.

I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem. The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6. (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

Sharing my iTunes library with other computers on the network

Hi Everybody,
I have an external hard disk with about 125 gigs of music on it, and I've spent a year going through it and categorizing it, and rating the songs. The hard disk is plugged into my Aiport Extreme, and communicates with my iMac just fine. My plan was to use my old windows laptop w/ iTunes, plug it into my stereo in the other room and have it pull music off the hd through the Airport, so I could have a jukebox for my stereo.
I have the windows machine communicating with the Airport and hd, so I have access to the music. I thought I might be able to get the library information if I Exported the Library to the external hd, but it did't work. Next I Exported my playlist from the Mac's iTunes, and Imported it on to the pc's. This shows my playlists, but they are all empty and there is no My Rating information.
What I would love it to do would be to have mirror playlist information on each computer, and any changes in the playlist would automatically get updated on the other computer's iTunes. for this I would think you would need your Library information at the source of the music, so on the external hard disk, and it would be shared by each computer. It'd be great if all the album covers did this too. I really don't want to have to go through all that music again on the pc, and would probably just use my iPod with my stereo if this is not possible. Any suggestions?
Forgive me if this has been written about already. Seems like someone else would have run into this too, but I couldn't find any searching through the discussions.
Thanks, -Victor

Move the entire _iTunes folder_ located in *My Documents/My Music*/ to a Shared directory. Make sure to set this folder for read/write permissions for all users.
I set my permissions as follows OS 10.4.X:
first under the original owners login, change all permissions to read & write, then change 'group' to wheel. Then change the owner from the user to system (I applied to all within ~ may not be necessary).
Start iTunes holding the Shift key and select *Choose existing library* then pick the iTunes library file you moved into the Shared directory.
In iTunes 7.5, you'll need to hold the Option key and then pick the /Users/Shared/iTunes/iTunes Music
Quit iTunes and log out of your user and let her log in.
Start iTunes holding the Shift key and select *Choose existing library* then pick the iTunes library file you moved into the Shared directory.
Now she needs to File -> *Add folder to library* and pick *My Documents*/My Music*/*iTunes*/iTunes music*.
This will add all her music to the common library.
Once this is complete, she can delete *My Documents*/My Music*/*iTunes.
Do this for all users. Any changes made by one will be seen by all.

How do i connect my hard drive to the air port and share it with my computers on my local network and internet.

im having trouble seeing my hard drive. please help

Have you verified that.....
The drive is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled)? Most drives are pre-formatted for Windows NTFS, whcih will not work with the AirPort Extreme
The USB port on the AirPort Extreme is under powered, so if your drive is formatted for Mac as above, you almost always need to use a powered USB hub....even if the hard drive has its own power supply

Upgraded to Mavericks but now I can't work out how to share my iPhoto 11 library with other computers on our home network?

Any tips? There doesn't seem to be a sharing option under Preferences > General anymore?

That feature has been removed from iPhoto. They want you to use Shared Photo Streams to share with the other Macs. Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

Problems with HP4620 not working with other computers in the house

I purchased an HP 4620 for my home and it works great wirelessly with my Vista laptop. However, it does not show as an option for our desktop or our second laptop. Any ideas?
Thanks, Sunny12
This question was solved.

Hi
OS means Operating system , Windows 7 and Vista are Operating system's for desktop and laptop. You will have to install the drivers and then connect the printer ..this will finish the printer software installation and you will be able to just click on printkey and print.

Network Imac with other PC through the same network router

I have IMAC wireless and Laptop wireless and PC wired to the same router(NETGEAR).The PC do appear on my list of SHARED. However I can not connect to them. Get a msg that I have to check the IP address or check with ADMIN. Is it somewhere in setting that I have forgotten to click on or...?

It now works fine! I just restarted finally Was ti tired of trying it out. Now it works.

Can't disconnect from other computer on the local network

We have several Mac's (6) running in our small office, connected via wifi and ethernet. One of the computers we call the "warehouse" and is used as our storage unit and to run 3 filemaker databases. This warehouse is still running OS X 7, while the others are all running Mavericks.
The Issue:
When we click on "SHARED" or through "DEVICES" the warehouse shows up as connected via VNC. If I click "Disconnect" nothing happens. If I go the "GO" menu and use "CONNECT TO SERVER" and enter the static IP we have the warehouse setup with it connects fine. Then if I go back to the "SHARED" it still says "Connected as:VNC" and if I hit disconect it will kill my connection but the view below still stays the same and the only choice it ever gives me is "DISCONNECT"! I've rebooted the watrehouse and my Mac.
Now, if I go to another computer (13" macbook air)...and click "SHARED" nothing shows up....The only way I can connect is using the "go" menu and the IP.
This has only been since upgrading to Mavericks.

Can you setup handoff to work with two mac computers on the same network?

I am attempting to setup handoff to work with two computers on the same network. I cannot seem to get it to work. Should I be able to?

I'm not sure but I haven't seen anything on the Apple site that indicates that it would not work. The following troubleshooting documents may help: Get help using Continuity with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite - Apple Support
Note in particular the Mac models supported. The other thing that occurs to me is that in addition to being on the same network they would have to be within Bluetooth range of each other.

I can't "ping" but I see the computers in the same network while trying RDA server. What I am doing wrong?

Hi, I would like to know if anyone can help me. It's probably easy but.... The thing is that I have a little network with 5 computers. The network is working perfectly, I mean I can "see" whole the network from all the computers and I can share files and so on. My surprise is that I have tried to make a "ping" between all of them and I didn't recive any answer. I am trying to install the Remote Device Access Server to share a DAQ device in all the network. Oviously when I try to see my DAQ device from the "client" computer appears an error message <<No system found at adress...>>. Any idea...?
Thanks.
d.

Firewall settings?
Also, about PING, the PING service may be down
