How can I share DVD drive on Windows with multiple ODD?

My Windows machine have 2 ODD -- one CD ROM drive, another DVD R/W
(and one more virtual drive, which I think is irrelevant)
Installed "DVD or CD sharing" and remote computer is visible from Air via remote disk.
BUT when I connect and request for use, only first CD-ROM drive is ejected and MBA waits for that drive... and that drive only.
I can't see any configuration option to select which drive I will share.
How can I get DVD sharing work in this case?
Does anybody have similar problem?
(Or where can I request for this functionality)

Hello roaminggnome
Unfortunately the support is down at the moment, I will have a better look later. I did go though the Apple support previously, however I found nothing that worked.
The first thread I came across was “Home Sharing” however no mater what I did, it did not appear in the iTunes sharing list (I did go though the “Show Sharing Networks” support as well)
Secondly, I saw “Using A Single Library With Multiple Accounts On The Same PC” (Something like that) but all this did was let us share the same music location, if I was to rip extra music, it will not show in there library

  • How can I share only the same music with multiple iTunes accounts

    Hello
    I hope someone can help. [I am using Windows Vista (Unfortunately J) and iTunes 10]
    I am trying to share the same music library with multiple iTunes accounts. Basically, I want to know if there is a way to automatically upload to other libraries when importing new music into my library, vice versa. [Better information below]
    Me, my sister and my dad all use iTunes (on different iTunes accounts), and before now we used to have are own music on our own windows user. Due to many duplicates and a loss of hard drive space I have brought an external hard drive and organised all the music.
    It was all going well - I first populated all the music onto my iTunes, exported the library, and then imported it on both the other users. However! Because this is only a copy of the library, when I try to import a new CD, it will not show up on there’s until I “Add File to Library”! Originally I thought about using the same library however we each have are own apps etc, that we don’t want to share.
    If you need anymore information please ask!

  • How can I share a *.java source file across multiple projects in NetBeans?

    I'm sure this simple and a pretty common operation but how can I share a *.java source file across multiple projects in NetBeans? Right now I keep cut, coping and pasting the same source file between multiple projects to re-use the same code. But I could I make this source file a library file or something like that so that I could access it from any project. I assume this would be a generic operation but I mentioned NetBeans for clarity. Thanks.

I've done such a thing in C using header files and such but I'm trying to get a direction on how this is accomplished in Java. I'm sorry if I could edit the title I would. If anyone wants to be specific about NetBeans I welcome that too.

    Create a class library.
    Write your code, compile it to .class files, put those class files in a .jar file and include the jar file in the classpath whenever you want to compile a project against it.

  • How can I share my ical work calendar with my coworkers that are using google calendar?

    How can I share my ical work calendar with my coworkers that are using google calendar?

    You can only do this by syncing your calendar to an external server - MobileMe is designed for this but if you don't already have a MobileMe account you can't start one now.
    If you do have a MobileMe account the method is described here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/sharedcalendar.html#publicshare
    If you don't, you could sync to Google Calendar (Google accounts are free) or wait for iCloud which should be out in a couple of months and will probably provide this sort of facility.
    You might like to consider BusyCal which is like iCal Pro - similar to iCal but with extra facilities. It can sync calendars on a Lan and also between accounts on the same machine (you have to have fast user switching enabled).
    There is a free trial available on their website: it's slightly cheaper from the Mac App Store. (I have no connection with this company).

  • How can I share only a specific playlist with another family device?

    I purchased an iPod Touch for my Dad for Christmas.  I am trying to share only a selected playlist with the new device without synching everything that I have on my iPhone and iPad to his device.  I have turned on home sharing but can't figure out how to limit the automatic sync that kicks off when I plug the new iPod into my PC.  Any suggestions?

  • How can I share a Creative-Cloud-FOLDER with my client?

    I need to show my client a set of Illustrator Files (about 30) and it is very exhaustive (as well for me as for my client) to share one file after another. He must have about 30 links now...
    Is it possible to share a complete folder, and if yes, how can I do that?
    Thanks!
    Best regards

    Hi Tibor,
    Currently there is no way to share a folder but improved sharing and collaboration are coming.

  • My Wife and Ishare the same iMac, as different users, with separate iTunes accounts. How can I share some of my playlists with her iPod?

    When I go to sync her ipod to my account, Itunes wants to remove all her tunes, before it will install the ones she wants from mine. She wants to keep what she already has on it. How can we do this?

    Hello durantophone,
    This can be done by putting the iPod into 'manual mode.' You'll want to enable this with the iPod connected while in her account.
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers

  • How can I share Quicken and other apps with another user on the same iMac?

    I would like to share some apps including Quicken with anoter user on the same iMac. I have put the Quicken app and the .QFX file in /usrs/share and changed the permissions to R/W on both files but when I log in as the other user and run Quicken it does not use the .QFX file and instead comes up with no accounts.

    The Quicken app. should be in the Applications folder at the root of Macintosh HD. It's accessible to all users from there.
    To share a file, (this from Finder Help menu)
    "Sharing files with others who use your computer
    You can share files with others who use your computer by placing the files in the Public folder in your home folder. Anyone with an account on your computer can read or copy the items you put in your Public folder (except for your Drop Box folder, which only you can open).
    To share files using your Public folder:
    Copy the files you want to share into your Public folder, inside your home folder.
    To give a copy of a file directly to another person, copy it to their Drop Box folder (inside their Public folder), where only they can see it."
    When opening a file just double-click the file - it will open the application automatically.

  • How can I share my iPhoto '08 Library with another user account?

    I found a post that tells how to share my library so that two user accounts on my iMac have full read and write access to my iPhoto Library, but I can't find the Library. It should be under /users/myname/pictures/iphoto library/data according to a Spotlight search I used to find a photo in my library, but that folder can't be seen in Finder.

    Mike
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    No, your Library should not be under
    /users/myname/pictures/iphoto library/data
    That's the location of a thumbnail within the Library. Using Spotlight to search the Library is dangerous as Spotlight doesn't understand how the Library is structured.
    By default - unless you moved it - the Library is in your Pictures Folder.
    /users/myname/pictures
    As to Sharing with iPhoto 08:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc. The problem here is that OS X works very hard to keep your data safe and secure from the other users. You're trying to beat what's built in to the system. So, to beat the system
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts
    Move the iPhoto Library Folder to an external HD set to ignore permissions. You could also use a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.
    In each account in turn: 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.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.
    Lastly: This method seems a little clunky at first, but works very well. Most importantly, it uses the System to do the job for you.
    Create a new Account on your Mac, call it Media. Create an iPhoto Library there. (BTW: This will work for iTunes too.)
    Enable Sharing on the Library:(Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other accounts. In those accounts, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. The Library will appear in the other source pane.
    This means that both users will be able to see the pics. If you want to use a pic then simply drag it from the shared Library to your own in the iPhoto Window. This means that each user can have their own edits.
    If you want to add photos to the Library: Log into the Media account for that purpose.
    To make it all seamless: Set your Mac to log into the Media Account automatically. Set iPhoto to launch on log-in. Then switch to your own account using Fast User Switching.
    Net result: a Library that's permanently available to all users but also protected. Each user can have their own versions of the pics if they want.
    No partitioning, no permissions issues. Uses no extra disk space. What's not to like?
    Note: This process is simple in iPhoto 09, and requires none of these hoops. If this is a key feature for you you might consider upgrading.
