  • I have a new computer and I want to make it my home device for I tunes. I have home sharing, and all of the music and files are on the new computer. Now what do I do to make the new computer the home computer for Itunes?

    I have a new computer and I want to make it my home device for I tunes. I have home sharing, and all of the music and files are on the new computer. Now what do I do to make the new computer the home computer for Itunes?

    The computer (windows platform) where I initially began using Itunes has four other computers/devices that are shared with it. All four of the other computers show up in my account, and can be managed. Or I can remove them. But on the new computer that I want to be my base computer (home if you will). The computer I want it to replace, when ITunes is open, has a tool bar, with various functions. All of the other devices are linked to that computer in ITunes, under Home SHaring. The new computer, shows the downloads via Home Sharing, but it does not show/have any tool bar.
    I want to activate the new computer to be the computer via ITunes where all of the devices are linked to it as the base for ITunes. And, I don't know how to make that happen.
    I hope that makes sense.

    All of your computers content are available in the AppleTV section called "Computer".  This is where you will find your music.
    The Music section of the AppleTV is only for those who subscribed to iTunes Match.

  • HT4970 How do you set a reminder for only you when you are also sharing?

    How do you set a reminder for only you when you are also sharing? I want to share the grocery list with my wife but she don't want to be reminded for me taking my medicine.

  • I wondered if i can sync my iphone to my laptop which is using the home sharing for music????

    Does anyone know if i sync my iphone to my laptop, instead of my pc, which currently only has content in itunes due to home sharing will it remain on the iphone aweay from home????

    You can't sync music to your phone which isn't in your iTunes library.  As you are only streaming the music to your laptop via Home Sharing, you wouldn't be able to sync it to your phone from the iTunes library on your laptop.  You can, however, copy the music from the iTunes library on the host computer to the iTunes library on your laptop using Home Sharing and then sync the music to your phone.  Caution: the iPhone is only designed to sync to a single computer/iTunes library.  If you have been syncing with your pc and not your laptop you would be strongly advised not to sync with your laptop or you will create all kinds of problems.

  • Can I set a time for music in iTunes to stop

    I use an iPad to play my music to an Airplay speaker. I sometimes use the playlist on my iPad and if I want to increase my listening pleasure I would use Remote to play from my entire libray on the iMac.
    I've looked but can't seem to find any way of setting a timer for playback. I listen to music at night and rather than have it play the entire night. Dose anyone know of a a utility/app for atimer setting in iTunes?
    I believe Apple sould consider this feature for a future addition to iTunes.
    Thanks,
    HJKeats

    It is not yet a built-in feature, but there are quite a few sleep timers around.
    For example:

    I have not tried them, however

  • Need help setting up file for program Ai CS5 Mac

    Hello everyone, I am hoping you can help me with something. I am having a 20 page conference program printed through a 3rd party company.The printer sent me back the proof today and on almost every page my artwork is being chopped off.
    This is the email sent with the proof today:
    "               I want you to look at these spreads and tell me if this is how you       visualized your finished pages? A lot of your art is being cut off. The finished size is 11x17.       You sent pages that were 9x12, so I used them at 100% on the 12x18       press sheet. You only need to provide a 1/8" bleed, not a 1/2". You also have       bleeds on the centers of the spreads. Those should not have a bleed. Only the outside 3 edges should       bleed.
    I had trouble getting all of the art to line up."
    Printer Info:
    They print on 12/18 trimmed down to 11 x 17 (for full bleed)
    Requested bleed: 1/8
    They print out of Quark
    I was told I can send them individual PDFs and they will paginate them (in order and add page numbers)
    I created a file in Ai CS5 with 20 artboards (one for each page of the program) Now, the trim marks should be placed at 1 inch because they are trimming 1 inch from the top and 1 inch from the bottom. The bleed should be 1/8 so 0.125 on the 3 "outside" edges. Is this correct?
    I primarily do lay-outs, the person responsible for this project bailed last minute so I am a bit stuck. If I am designing it as individual pages what are the exactly dimensions, bleed, and trim marks needed for each page to be set up correctly for the printer to paginate. Should I also add a .5 margin along the edges as a safe zone or is that not necessary because of the bleed?
    Let me know if I didn't provide enough information. I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance!

    It is often just simpler to build your pages (or spreads) to the actual size of the press sheet.
    I'll assume this is a saddle-stitched booklet.
    The press sheets will be 12 x 18 inches.
    It will be printed, then, as 11 x 17 printer spreads.
    That means it will have a half inch (not a whole inch) between the trims and the press sheet edges on all four sides.
    There will be three-eights inch between the bleed and the edges.
    (This is crowding things a tad; typically one tries to allow at least a half-inch gripper margin.)
    Anyway....
    1. Setup the document with twenty 9x12 vertical Artboards, with zero spacing, in two columns. Zero Bleed.
    (Often, depending on the nature of the content, I would choose to build such a thing as ten 12 x 18 Artboards, with content already arranged as printing spreads, thus eliminating the need for stripping. But in the following, you'll go ahead and make 20 separate Artboards, abutted in pairs, and treat these as two-page reader spreads, to make layout easy, and to accommodate artwork that may jump the gutter.)
    2. Turn on Show Grid. Turn on Snap To Grid.
    Rectangle Tool: Click the page. In the dialog, specify a 17 x 11 rectangle. This corresponds to your trim.
    Rectangle Tool: Click the page. In the dialog, specify a 17.25 x 11.25 rectangle. This corresponds to your bleed.
    Center align the two rectangles to each other, both horizontally and vertically.
    3. Zoom in. White Pointer: Snap the upper left corner of the rectangles to the grid at .375 H and .375 V of the top left Artboard.
    4. Convert the two rectangles to Guides. (View>Guides>Make)
    5. Line Tool: Snapping to the grid, draw your own trim marks at each corner, outboard of the trim. Use .25 pt. stroke weight. Registration color.
    6. Unlock Guides. (turn off View>Guides>Lock)
    7. Black Pointer: Marquee select around all the trim marks and the two rectangluar Guides.
    DoubleClick the Black Pointer. In the resulting Move dialog, enter a vertical movement of 12" and click copy.
    Transform Again (Ctrl D) 8 times.
    Now you have a set of trim guides, bleed guides, and trim marks on all 10 two-page reader spreads.
    8. Create the content as if the pairs of Artboards are facing pages of reader spreads. The top pair are the front and back. The other pairs are sequentially-numbered reading speads. Set up this way, your artwork can jump the gutter when desired.  You can put other printer's marks (sep names, etc.) in the bleed area if needed.
    9. Save A Copy to PDF with Use Artboards checked. The resulting PDF will contain 9x12 vertical pages. Viewed as spreads in Acrobat, you can see that the pages align.
    10. But when they are printed, they will be stripped into two-page printing spreads, ordered like so:

  • How do I set view options for all playlists at once?

    Hello,
    I want to able to set the view options for all my playlists at once (to include BPM, category etc). Currently you can only do this individually for each playlist.
    Surely there is an easier way?

    1 - No
    2 - Using iTunes, no.

  • Having issues setting up the use of two iTunes libraries on one Apple TV.  I can set up my iTunes library as I can turn home sharing on from my own computer, however, my fiance only has an iPad with home sharing turned on and it does not find his account?

    I have a new Apple TV which I am struggling to set up with both mine and my fiances music.  I have a laptop, but my fiance only has an ipad and it only seems to sync my music library from my iTunes account.  He has homesharing turned on on his iPad but the Apple TV does not recognise his iPad.  It seems from the help that I have read online that homesharing works when you use the same itunes account, is not possible to be able to use two different itunes libraries with two different accounts (and only one computer)?
    Thanks

    Both libraries would need to have been setup to use home sharing with the same Apple ID in order for that to work.

  • I have many devices with itunes and want them all to have the same music in same location without home sharing, I have many devices with itunes and want them all to have the same music in same location without home sharing - how can I do this?

    I have 3 ipads and 2 iphones in the house.  Each one was set up on a different computer. 
    How can I get it so I have all the music in one location without having "home sharing" to switch back and forth with?

    Hi,
    Itunes match is one solution. You must use the same apple ID on all computers.
    Start match on one computer and once match has completed its process, add match to the second computer. Match will scan for music in that computers itunes library and once complete you will see all the music in cloud from first computer - this will be available to download on second computer.
    When you go back to the first computer, you will now have second computers music avalable for download. Continue process on other computers.
    Alternatively to could use home sharing to move music from one computer to another by using "Not on this Computer Option"  when viewing shared libraries.

  • Limewire playlists showing up in home sharing

    I have a weird problem. I have limewire playlists showing up in my Itunes 9 shared area. No one in the household has ever installed limewire on the pcs, and nothing shady is done on any of them. If I open the playlists they are full of music none of us would ever listen to, and I'm able to play music from it.
    I'm in a rural area and the nearest house is 1/2 a mile away. I disabled wireless on the router anyway, and the playlists still remain afterwards (and remain playable). Unchecking the "Look for shared playlists" in itunes makes the playlists go away but the problem still remains... is someone somehow leeching off my internet connection or is itunes just doing something funny? I've googled "itunes limewire playlists" and it does seem to be happening to other people.

  • Playlists not working in Home Sharing

    My setup:  iTunes 11 on Windows 7 PC, Home Sharing enabled, Apple TV 2 with latest firmware, Remote app on iPad 3
    Initially I couldn't get Home Sharing to work at all, then discovered it was an issue with my Verizon FIOS Actiontec M1424WR router.  Solved that problem by going into Advanced settings for the router and disabling the IGMP Proxy.
    Now when I start the Remote app on my iPad I can get to my library, but I'm having problems with playlists and podcasts:
    1.  The playlists won't play at all.  I can play individual podcasts but not playlists.  Anyone know how to get playlists working?
    2.  Within playlists the podcast order is changed.  Anyone know how to get Home Sharing to stop changing the podcast order?
    3.  Home Sharing is also changing the order of podcasts within the podcast itself - for example if I have NPR All Things Considered as a podcast, it changes the order of the individual stories.  This is very annoying - anyone know how to make it stop doing this?
    Any help is appreciated.

    OK still having the same problem but now I'm using a workaround.  From iTunes on my PC, I select Apple TV from the speaker list, (via the icon that has a triangle within a rectangle) then start the playlist from there.  The podcasts start playing and can then be controlled, e.g. paused, from the Remote app on my iPad.  Also on the iPad in the list view up at the top it shows the upcoming podcasts and they are in the right order.  It would be nice if Apple fixed this so that the podcast playlist could be started from the iPad instead of having to start it from the PC.
