Editing Bonjour for "Share my library on my local network"

Hello,
I was wondering if there was some type of configuration file for itunes or if there is a way to configure bonjour to look at my entire enterprise, instead of just the subnet that I am on, for people sharing their itunes library. I hope this is possible...
Thanks,
/El Oscuro Secreto

I may have solved my own question. I just stumbled across "Wide Area Bonjour" (www.dns-sd.org). I need to read up on this, download, test and then I will report back.
If anyone has any other useful information, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,

How do I create an Itunes playlist on an ipad 2 for a shared library on my home network

Hi, please help? How do I create a playlist on tunes on my i pad2 with a shared i tunes library on my home network?

no need to create a secondary library - too troublesome, IMHO. you can spread your library over as many drives you can connect to your Mac (wired or wirelessly):
iTunes > preferences > advanced.
point iTunes media folder location to the external
on the same tab, ensure the copy files ... when adding option is checkmarked
okay out of preferences
highlight the content to be moved in iTunes and right-click
select consolidate files from the pop-up menu
wait for the process to finish
when done, you may delete the original files from your boot drive.
alternatively, you could move the whole shabang to the external HD:
copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music to the external, launch iTunes while holding the option(⌥) key, click on choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder you copied to the external.
when done, be sure to point iTunes media folder location to the external so that new additions to your library will be put there. also, you need to make sure the external is mounted on your desktop before you fire up iTunes.

How to set up Sharepoint Online and OneDrive for business like shared path in local network

Hi!
I need to create in OneDrive for business or Sharepoint Online shared folder with documents that would be visible to all selected employees or all employees of the selected group.
How to make it through the admin panel of Office 365, not by creating a folder in any user's access and send invitations to each user by email?

Do you mean you want to map OneDrive for Business as a network drive? If so have a look at this technical article

Can't share audio/video/screen on local network

My wife and I are both running Leopard 10.5.6, iChat 4.0.7. We're on our local network and can send texts without problem. We can't seem to start video/audio or screen sharing, however. One of us will make the request, and our computer will say "waiting for response", but the other never receives any connection request. Both of us have mic/camera/screen sharing enabled under the Video menu on our respective computers. Any thoughts?

Hi,
It depends what you mean in the first place by "Local Network"
If this is the computers in your home are connected together then we need to know if you are using the Bonjour Buddy List or not.
Whether it is the Bonjour or AIM (Or Jabber) Buddy list then we need to know what you set up in your Macs and routing device to allow AIM contacts or Bonjour contact.
For instance in System Preferences > Security > Firewall it has to be set to Allow All or Allow Specific apps and have iChat in the list as iChat is not an Essential App.

Disk Image won't automatically mount for Share iPhoto Library

Hey All,
I've just got a new mac and am sharing an iPhoto library between two users. I moved the iPhoto Library Folder to a DMG set it to ignore permissions.
In each account I did the following: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue, select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new library location. From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
The problem is that the DMG won't mount automatically mount. I set it up under both user accounts to mount at start up but it won't do it.
Am I doing something wrong?

Are you using fast user switching or logging out and then back in to the second account? It may be that fast user switching doesn't trigger a "startup" scenario in the second account which is necessary for the disk image to mount.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Can you share a library between two non-networked PCs?

any help appreciated on this one!
I'd like to be able to keep my iTunes library on a portable hard drive.
which isn't too difficult to do - move the folder and consolidate.
then I'd like to take it with me between home and the office.
would playlists / play counts / ratings stay in sync on the external HD or is there no way to do this?
(i.e. would all the listening I'd done at work show up in the library when I plugged the disk in again at home?)
thanks in advance for your help.

If you want playlists, playcounts, rating and such to remain consistent and travel with the drive, drag the entire iTunes folder (the entire folder, not just the iTunes Music folder) to your desired location. Then on each system, connect the hard drive and hold down the Shift key while launching iTunes. You'll be given a dialog box where you can select the iTunes library you want to use. Navigate to and select the iTunes folder on the external drive.
Note: do not launch iTunes until the external drive is connected and mounted, or iTunes will automatically switch back to the default location on the internal drive. No big problem if it does, just quit iTunes and relaunch while holding down the Shift key.
Regards.

Using iTunes/Airplay for streaming live audio/video on local network?

I'm wondering if I can use iTunes to stream live audio and/or video to other computers, Airport Express, or Apple TVs on a local wifi network. I'm willing to jailbreak or hack anything if necessary.
So this is what I am hoping to do:
Camera-->Streaming Computer-->Airplay-->Local Wi-fi network-->Devices recieving audio/video

This device should be doing UPnP by default so you will not need most of the info on this page.
What the Link does have is the default access info and pictures.
In the Wan page turn Off the DOS or SPI firewall. (it will have one or the other)
Check in the Box to Disable.
Save Settings.
If this device is behind a Cable modem then also Allow it to Respond to Internet Pings on the same page.
(this a Check the Box to Do)
Save settings (Again if you did them above)

Cant see or share music over iTunes within my network

Hi everyone,
I'm behind a router/firewall at my residence and I cannot view or share my music. Which ports do I have to open to fix this problem?

Hi,
If you want to share your music on your LAN, you shouldn't need to modify the settings of you firewall router. Have you also activated your OSX firewall? If so, go into the system preferences under sharing; you will see there a check box to allow iTune sharing but you should not need you OSX firewall if you are behind a router in your residence.
Make sure you also that you have properly set the iTunes sharing option from the Sharing tab of the iTunes preferences. "Share my library on my local network" need to be activated on the iTunes you need to share the library and "Look for shared libraries" on your other computers.

Can I share itunes library with my family icloud

My kids have their itunes library, my husband does too, and mine is different as well. We all use my account and do share songs amoungst our libraries. WIth iCloud is this still work seamlessly in the same fashion or do we all need different user ID/passwords?
Can we do this with Calendaring, documents, photos too? All on one account, but all selecting what we want to select?

itunes has two different ways of sharing music
1) clicking on file , home sharing and turning on home sharing, and entering your apple id. this is required for iphone, ipods and ios devices you are only allowed to share to 5 computers this way. this allows you to import songs to your itunes client from your itunes server. and each compuer needs to be logged into your itunes account
2) clicking on itunes, preferences, clicking on share tab, and cicking on "share my library on my local nework " this will not allow itunes libraries to be shared with ipods, iphones or ios devices. itunes cleints will not be alllowed to important songs from your itunes server. however itunes clients do not have to be logged into apple at all. they don't even need to be authorized to play music. they will prompt for your itunes account if you try and play a song that has DRM, but if the music has no DRM they will play fine
your only allowed 5 computers associated with an apple id. upgrading your music collection to itunes plus or using itunes match #2 might be able to save your precious itunes computer slots
i have them both turned on

Can I share itunes library with iOS, without Home Sharing?

Hi All,
I have shared my library with my local network via preferences > sharing on my macbook. However, cannot see the shared library in my iOS device music app. Is it possible to access a shared library without having to set up Home Sharing? Perhaps a third party app can do it?
Cheers,
Sam

How to share iPhoto library with Windows 7 Media Center?

Is there a way to share an iPhoto library over a local network with a Windows 7 Media Center PC? I have a Mac Pro that has my iPhoto library [about 9,500 pictures and about a hundred videos] which is about 70GB. I also have a Windows 7 PC connected to my plasma TV for media, most of which is drawn from a 5TB NAS. Ideally, I'd like a way for my Mac Pro to keep a copy of the photos and videos on the NAS [the original should stay on the Mac Pro] without requiring me to manually copy over the new photos.
My understanding is that iPhoto isn't designed to do any type of cross-platform sharing whatsoever, but hopefully I'm wrong. I would definitely appreciate any help; thank you!

Thanks for your input, Terence Devlin. At this point, I'm not even looking for a cross-platform media server application. I'm looking for (and wondering why iPhoto doesn't have) a way for us to use iPhoto in a way that it already functions.
What I mean by locking you in is that Apple is saying, if you do it our way, (iPhoto/iTunes/iPhone/iPod) you can get the functionality you want, but even within that ecosystem, it's inconsistent. Like I mentioned previously, syncing photos to your iPhone/iPod Touch through iTunes gets you all the photos organized by events. And clearly, iTunes/iPhoto is capable of reading the iPhoto database, and pulling out the photos and organizing them by events. Yet we can't do it from iPhoto itself. And that's not even getting into Apple saying Spotlight on the iPhone searches through everything...except photos...even though with iPhoto '09 they're encouraging us to tag faces and places...I just think it's odd/a shame that Apple is hiding existing functionality from its users.
At any rate, I will be giving that other application a try.
(p.s. you can't "aggregate out" something and get something smaller; aggregate as a verb means to gather together or sum up, and as a noun means the total or summation.)

Iphoto does not allow to share events on the local network

Hello,
I was trying to share the iphoto library on the local network and it seems to be that I only can share albums, but not events.
The help on sharing says:
"Select the “Share my photos” checkbox, and then choose your entire library or only the Events,
folders, albums, slideshows, books, calendars, or cards that you want to share."
According to this I should be able to share events, but I'm not. Events don't even appear in the list of possible shares. The list itself says "Share selected albums".
So is there a way to share events?
If not then it looks like a bug to me. Basically to share the events I would need to create an album for each event.
Thanks

It's a bug or an optimistic writer of Help files...
It's very easy to make an album from an Event: Simply drag the Event to the Albums section of the Source Pane - result an Album of the same name. As Albums simply reference files on the HD (unlike Events) you use no extra disk space, plus the options for sorting and arranging the photos are enhanced.

How best to share Numbers spreadsheet usage between two networked Macs?

I have never really shared files between two users as my wife always had a Windows computer. She recently purchased an iMac and now has Numbers, so we are interested in sharing access to a couple of spreadsheets for household management. I have racked my brain trying to figure out how to share a file like this, expecting to show her how easy it is on a Mac, but so far I am making it look as difficult to figure out as it was for her on a windows network. Needless to say she is not very impressed with me or with file sharing on a Mac!
I have a iWork numbers spreadsheet I wantto share between myself on my iMac and my wife on her iMac on our local/home network. I tried keeping the file in my Public Folder but that apparently is not designed to allow my wife to make changes to and re-save back to the same location in my public folder.
So how else can I set this up to allow both my wife and I to acess (at different times, not simultaneously) the file, make changes, and save it back to the same location? I have a family MobileMe account as well as the local networked iMacs, if that is a possible solution.
I have heard some people talk about the 3rd party tool called DropBox, but I would like to keep to a local/Apple solution if this is possible with Apple hardware/software.
Thanks in advance to all you gurus for whom this is an easy fix.

Share the document via DropBox and discuss changes via iwork.com comments.
Neat idea; I'll check that out later this evening, thanks for the help here.
For sharing the file it seems there are two preferred methods:
1. create a file sharing local user account to host the share documents entirely on a local network. Pros: not routed through the internet. Cons: requires entering a user name and password for access. *(Can Keychain remember the shared account login credentials and enter this for you automatically to make this process even easier?)*
2. Use a dropbox account. Pros: no need to enter login credentials each time. Cons: requires internet access to upload and distribute changes.
Any other issues to consider between the two options?
