How do I configure my TC such that when wired to my router a) I can back up, b) sync the TC with my SONOS to play stored music held in iTunes, c) display my photos using iPhoto on my TV

The current set up is that I have my home network both in wired and wireless mode. All MACs are connected wireless through the dual band router  (2.4 GHz) and have access to a wireless shared printer. I have also wired connected my TV through the router to access the Internet. I have an Apple TV wireless linked to the router (5 GHz) to play films on the TV
There are a few things I want to do.
I want to store my music and photos on the TC such that I can a) play music on any laptop, via the SONOS system or TV
I want to configure my SONOS bridge to be able to recognise that music is on the TC or pull music via Spotify
I want to be able to play music stored on the TC or display photos stored on the TC on the TV
I want to extend the network of the router without creating a new network
Any suggestions ?

If you store itunes andn iphoto library on the TC you could be in trouble. The TC has no auto backup mechanism.. it is simply unable to work as a true NAS. It has no media servers. It is slow.. it is very easy to corrupt libraries especially in connection over wireless. In general we recommend people do not do this.
If you go ahead anyway.. apple have specific instructions for moving the libraries.. do follow it.
I am not sure if the SONOS can play directly from itunes library or has to use an itunes server.. remember the TC is a dumb as a board router with no media servers. Apple TV also need an active itunes to work AFAIK.. you cannot play files.. unless you JB the ATV.
Also be careful as SONOS does not like apple names.. use all SMB compatible names.. short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.
Finally yes,.. at last .. you can extend the wireless in the TC using another apple router.. you cannot extend wireless using any other brand.

    Hi Cody\'sgirl,
    If you are having issues emailing photos directly from iPhoto, you may want to double check the email account information that is set in iPhoto. You may find the following article helpful (the section below is about setting up a new account, but it should be the same location to check existing account info):
    To set up a Photo Mail account:
    Choose iPhoto > Preferences, and then click Accounts.If you’re in full-screen view, move your pointer to the top of the screen to make the menu bar appear.
    Click the Add button in the lower-left corner.
    Click Email, and then click Add.
    Choose your email service provider.If your service provider isn’t listed, choose Other.
    Type the requested information.If you use the Mail application included with OS X, some account information might be filled in already. If you’re not sure what to type, contact your service provider.
    You can set up more than one Photo Mail account by repeating these steps for each account. When you send an email, you can change the outgoing account by clicking the From pop-up menu and choosing an account.

  • How does one print single photos using iPhoto. I keep getting an error message:No Available Themes

    How does one print single photos using iPhoto. I keep getting an error message:No Available Themes

    You need to reinstall iPhoto. To reinstall iPhoto delete the current application and, on all Macs with Snow Leopard or earlier installed, all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the:
    HD/Library/Receipts folder (10.5 and earlier)
    or from the /var/db/receipts/  folder (10.6) .
    Deleting receipts is not necessary if your Mac came with Lion or later preinstalled.
    Then install iPhoto from the source it came from originally.

  • How can I configure a party such that this party can submit both 4010 and 5010 transaction?

    I try to configure a party such that this party can submit both 4010 and 5010 transactions. 
    I encounter error related to ISA11 field.
    When I submit a 4010 transaction, I need to uncheck the 'Use ISA11 as repetition separator' box in the X12 Interchange Processing Properties page of the party.  If not I will encounter error if the character 'U' in ISA11 appears as content inside
    the transaction.
    On the other hand, if I submit a 5010 transaction and left the 'Use ISA11 as repetition separator' box uncheck, I will encounter the following error:
    Error: 2 (Field level error)
         SegmentID: ISA
         Position in TS: 1
         Data Element ID: ISA11
         Position in Segment: 11
         Data Value: ^
        7: Invalid code value.
    The character in ISA11 in 5010 transaction is '^'.
    Is there any setting or trick I can use such that I don't have to adjust the 'Use ISA11 as repetition separator' box everytime a different version of EDI is submitted by the party.

    Hi,
        The problem you are describing is not because of Version of the document but actually it is because of different kind of ISA11s you are using for one party. It can happen with the same verion document as well.
    So for solving it You can right a pipline component and put it before edi-receive pipeline component. In this pipline component you can search ISA11 and replace with 'U' if you do not want to use it.
    But I think the problem will come further becauase if you have '^' in ISA11 then most probably you would be using it in document as repetition separator. So please check if you are not using '^' in the doc and then apply this pipeline component.
    Thanks

    The Apple solution is to register for and use separate Apple ID's on both devices and Apple software:
    Purchase FaceTime from the Apple Mac App store.  (US$0.99 for Version 1.1 last time I checked).
    The US iPad 2 already includes the FaceTime App.
    I've read that Skype also works with a Skype app for the iPad, but I have not tried it.

  • I am creating an Apple book of photos using iPhoto and a panoramic image.

    I am creating an Apple book of photos using iPhoto.  I have a panoramic image that I have split into two 9.5X2.583 in pieces in PhotoShop.  I want to paste them into facing pages.  When I try to move the images to the book I get images much larger which won't fit on the page.  I am using Mac OS X 10.7.4 and iPhoto 11 (9.3.2). 
    What do I need to do to make this work?
    Thanks for your help.

    Why not just use the full panoramic photo in one of the "spread" layouts which span two pages.
    It's look something like this depending on the image size and theme and layout used:

    I get this error message when I try to email photos using iPhoto: Your email did not go through because the server did not reply. How can I get this to work when my internet is connected?

    Are you able to email from Mail with those two accounts?  If so:
    1 - go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete both accounts. Now add them back and try again.
    2 - a better solution IMO is to set Mail as the email client for iPhoto is iPhoto's General preference pane.  This gives you better access to your contacts, a sent copy of all emails and, if you want a layout similar to iPhoto's, photo layouts located in Mail's stationary.

    Trying to Email Photo Using Iphoto 09: Apple Event Handler Failed, WHY?
    This keeps happening. Please help me solve it

    This one comes up from time to time and it’s caused by a glitch in the AppleScript underpinnings that work in the background. Frankly, I’ve seen no solution for it and suspect that it would require a re-install of the System Software.
    Alternaive:
    Instead of making the email in iPhoto, add the photos to the email in Mail. Use the Photo Browser in the New Message Window and you have full access to the Library.

    You can even resize the pics in the New Message Window as you do in iPhoto.

  • When using time machine with external hardrive to backup, some music items from iTunes and some photos from iPhoto do not transfer to backup hardrive.  What am I ding wrong?  Using latest version of mountain lion.

    When I use time machine with my external harddrive to back up computer, some music from iTunes library, and some photos from iPhoto library are missing when I check backup disk.  I am using latest version of mountain lion.  Am I doing something wrong?

    First, Time Machine doesn't completely back up the iPhoto library while iPhoto is running. Make sure you quit iPhoto after making any changes to allow a backup to take place.
    This simple procedure will clear your Time Machine settings, including both overt and hidden exclusions. If you have a long exclusion list that can't be recreated easily, you may prefer a more complicated procedure that preserves the exclusion list. In that case, ask for instructions. Otherwise, do as follows.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a file selected. Copy it to the Desktop. Then move it (the original, not the copy) to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot, recreate your settings in the Time Machine preference pane, and run a backup to test. If TM now performs as expected, delete the file you copied to the Desktop.

  • How do you use Airport extreme at hotels etc, when traveling? I can plug my computer into the Airport with my ethernet but how does Airport pickup signal?

    How do you use Airport extreme at hotels etc, when traveling? I can plug my computer into the Airport with my ethernet but how does Airport pickup signal? What equipment & devices do I need to travel with to make this possible?

    You may mean the AirPort Express.....not AirPort Extreme.....as the Express is a popular travel router.
    The whole idea behind using this device is that the hotel must provide an Ethernet jack in the hotel room. Then you connect the AirPort Express to the Ethernet jack with an Ethernet cable and configure it to provide your own wireless network in the room. You still have to agree to terms, pay the fees, etc.
    The problem with this approach is that it is getting very difficult to find hotels in North America that prrovide an Ethernet jack....most have moved to wireless networks and the others are not far behind.
    So, if the hotel is already providing a wireless signal, the AirPort Express is of no use in that situation.
    If you normally stay at the same hotels, and know that they provide Ethernet ports, an AirPort Express might make sense in terms of convenience.

  • HT3412 I recently moved all my photos from iphoto to Aperture. I had several iphoto books and cards in my project file. When everything was moved to Aperture I can't find any of the books or card projects. Are they gone or can they be restored?

    I recently moved all my photos from iphoto to Aperture. I had several iphoto books and cards in my project file. When everything was moved to Aperture I can't find any of the books or card projects. Are they gone or can they be restored?

    1 - without specifics I have no idea how to help
    2 - the question was "are you trying to use them in iPhoto? " - it sounds like you are - to do so you will have to export them from Aperature and import into iPhoto
    3 - for information on how to use them in Aperature then you need to ask about how to use Aperature in the Aperature forum as it does not involve iPhoto
