  • How do i share files between two computers using the ethernet?

    i have bought a cord that is ethernet to ethernet. i do not understand how or where to go after the two computers are seemingly connected. i have a bunch of photos on iphoto id like to transfer. thank you.

    Out of curiosity do you already have a home network? If so do both computers connect to the network? In this case just use File Sharing which is enabled in the Sharing preferences.

    How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?

    Shared how? The other users can read the documents or you all can read and write the documents?
    The first is easy just place the documents in /Users/Shared anyone can access the files there and the other users will be able to read them.
    The second is a bit trickier.

    how do i share music with 2 iphones using the same apple id?

    Sync them both to the same iTunes music library.  You can also automatically download purchased music to both by going to Settings>iTunes & App Stores and turning Music to On under Automatic Downloads.  If you music is in multiple computers, you can enable Home sharing to share your music library across multiple devices (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819).

    SQL/XML (XMLElement, XMLForest, XMLAgg, etc) and UTL_HTTP.
    Whether that works for you with the version of Oracle you have, your requirements, and needs is another story. A little detail goes a long way.

  • HT202213 How can I authorize more than 5 computers with the same Apple ID?

    Somebody knows how to authorize more than 5 computers with the same Apple ID? I have One Apple IMac, Apple TV, I-PAD, 2 HP PC's, One I-Phone and one I-Pod Touch. I would like to have the possibility to use as I wish the same Apple ID on one of those without deauthorizing another one.

    "Somebody knows how to authorize more than 5 computers with the same Apple ID? "
    You cannot.
    Authorization applies ONLY to computers.  Ipods/ipads/iphones/Apple TVS are NOT authorized at all.

  • Share files from 2 computers connected to same router from remote location

    I can remotely (from external IP) share file from one computer connected to my router but I cannot share with other machines on my home network. Same with ARD access. Is there a way to access multiple machines across my router?

    The only easy way to do this would be to use something like Back To My Mac with a MobileMe subscription or [LogMeIn|https://www.logmein.com].
    The problem with what you're trying to do is that your entire home network only has one IP address to the outside world. How did you get it working in the first place? I'm assuming you've got a wireless router and set up port forwarding on the router to redirect traffic to a specific machine. The problem there is that file sharing uses a specific port (548), and you can only map that port to one machine at a time.
    One possibility would be to use different services for different machines. For example, you could share files normally (port 548) on one machine and via FTP (port 21) on another. Another possibility would be to enable screen sharing on the one you can access from outside your home network, then use screen sharing to make that machine log in to the other machines on the network. Of course, neither of these are ideal solutions.

  • How do I share itunes libraries that are on the same computer and associated with separate Apple IDs?

    My wife and I have our own Apple IDs, iphones, and separate itunes libraries. I'm trying to figure out whether we can share our libraries with each others iphones? Thanks in advance for any suggestions and insight.

    Hi there,
    First..I am new to this forum and find the information provided to be very helpful... I had followed the iTunes link above to enable sharing between users in the same computer but it appears to be working on partially. What setup am I looking for ?
    1. We have an iMac (Snow Leopard) with 1 Adult ID and 2 children IDs
    2. The iTunes music folder is stored in a Shared public folder where the Adult ID has read/write access and the 2 kids with read-only access (so that they don't accidently delete songs...:-)
    3. The iTunes on the Adult ID has the access to purchase songs. The kids have no acccess to buy songs
    4. All songs, podcasts to be visible to all users
    What has happened ?
    1. I am able to make the base of songs visible to all users
    2. However when a song is purchased by the adult account ..it is not visible to the kids account ..:-{
    3. The same thing occurs when a song is imported from a CD
    4. When a new playlist is created by the Adult account it is not visible to the kids account ..:-(
    How can I make changes made by the Adult be made visible to the kids without having the need to constant add music files or libraries for each kid..?
    Thanks in advance..

  • How do I share music between user accounts on the same computer?

    My wife and I have separate user accounts on the same MacBook Pro so that we can both sync our phones to this computer. My account is the primary user account, and my iTunes library is stored in this account. My wife would like to put music on her iPhone so she can run, but I can't seem to access the music library thru her account. I know the files are all on the hard drive regardless, so I just need to know how I can make iTunes on my wife's account access the library that's there. I've tried the steps I could find on Apple's website, but I can't seem to make it work. I'm running the latest versions of everything - even tho the post says I'm running 10.9.1, I'm actually running 10.9.4

    To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
    If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.
    iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
    There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.

  • How do I share iTunes Libraries across users on the same computer

    I want to share my iTunes library with my kids on the same computer. How do I do that? They each have their own account identity?
    I tried HomeShare and ITunes library sharing in Prefs, but I can't seem to figure this out.
    I want to share CD's I've burned in w/o doing it repetitively for each account.
    Thanks!

  • HT3819 How do I share music between different users on the same computer?

    I understand Home Sharing helps me share music across different computers.  How do I share between different users on the same computer?  We have a few instances of iTunes on a single computer and have to download from the same CD each time.  I must be doing something wrong - seems crazy to have several copies of the same song on one hard-drive when Home Share allows for sharing across computers - how do I share within the same computer?  Please outline specific steps.  THANKS.

    Hello Whigged-out,
    It sounds like you would like to share one library between two different users on your iMac.  I found an article with steps you can take to accomplish this:

  • How do I share libraries between 2 accts on the same computer?  (2 users accts, 2itunes accts)

    I am trying to share one ITunes library to another on the same computer.  Any ideas???
    Thank you in advance.

    Check this Apple document out -> iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer.
    You'll basically put the iTunes music folder into a shared folder and make sure iTunes is pointed to that shared folder.
    WTH.

  • How can i share tones between different iPhones on the same account

    I have two iPhones registered on the same iTunes account - one for work and one personal. I have bought a couple of ringtones through iTunes but find that I cannot see them in the iTunes library so cannot load a ringtone from one of my iPhones to the other. Any suggestion on how I can do this ?
    Regards
    Kev

    You will have to transfer the ringtones from the phone that has them to your iTunes library.
    File>Transfer Purchases.
    Then you can sync them to the other phone.
