How do I use DVD sharing using ethernet only?

Hi All
I am trying to set up DVD sharing between my Home PC and macbook. My PC is running Windows 7 Pro x64. I want to use the DVD on the pc to run on my mac. The thing is I only have an Ethernet cable and am a complete noob when it comes to this kinda thing. Could someone please at least point me in the right direction, searches of google etc only show file sharing and I was told I need to make sure both computers are on the same network.
Regards
Joe

How can I create DVD label using Photoshop Elements 10?

You can create the design for a DVD label in Create>More Options. Once you have the label set up, you would copy it to a template for the labels you plan to use. (The PSE template makes one label, while most printed labels are two-up.)

How do I watch DVDs when using my macbook as a remote drive for my new iMac?

My new iMac does not have a DVD drive ( something which I just assumed it would have!). I have connected it to my old macbook using CD/DVD sharing, however, although it recognises the DVD in the Macbook, it makes the DVD player crash and iTunes won't import it - how do I play DVDs this way?

Oh right!, I was told that it didn't matter that I didn'y have the drive as I could use my macbook - is this information wrong?... (I was told this by someone at Apple and so just thought I was being thick)

How to burn to DVD without using a menu

How can I burn a project to DVD without using a menu? When I open iDVD, it wants me to select a menu. I just want my project to play without using any kind of menu. Can someone walk me through this? Thanks.

If you use iDVD it is quite simple: after creating the iDVD project, open the tree view, where the project is presented as a tree of menus. Drag your movie from the finder to the top (root) node of the tree, and burn the DVD. Your movie will be played just after inserting the DVD in the player, without showing any menu.

Creating recovery disc using DVD vs using USB

I wanted to upgrade to SSD
a crucial m500 to be exact.
I'm using windows 8
Lenovo T430
But an attempt to create recovery media, I was told I needed a usb of at least 16gb before continuing.
I personally do not have a spare 16gb thumbdrive lying around
address : create a recovery drive, The screen which says "the drive must be able to hold 16gb, and everything on the drive will be deleted.
and I find it such a waste to use a hard disk to use it as a recovery media considering the fact that all data on it has to be erased and I cant really use it for other purpose
so I google in attempt to try and create recovery drive using dvd disc
recdisc.exe
my question is that would I be able to restore the same original settings and applications as when I bought it when using the recdisc.exe method??
will all the default Lenovo applications be still present??

If it's like most of the recent ones I have seen it would normally require 3 regular DVD disks. Recovery 1, Recovery 2, and Drivers and Applications Disk 2. If you use Dual Layer it will put Recovery 1 and Recovery 2 on one DL disk and the Drivers and Applications on Disk 2, but it should give you the option of recording it to a standard DVD. You can determine how many regular disks it would take by selecting the Regular Disk option prior to creating the disks and it shoud tell you 3.
I'm betting that when you check the first disk you will find that it has about 6.5 to 7gb of data on it and the drivers disk has about 3gig, more than what would fit on a single D/L dsk. I know that my L305-S5933 is like that and I can't imagine that your's would be that much different.
Addendum: I just checked my 3 disks and they are as follows
Recovery Disk 1 - 4.3 GB
Recovery Disk 2 - 2.77 GB
Drivers and Applications Disk 3 - 2.1 GB
That totals 9.17 GB more than the capacity of a single D/L disk.
Plus I believe that Chris hit the nail on the head of their wanting to keep the actual Recovery Disk(s) seperate from the Drivers & Applications disk.

Use Time Capsule over ethernet only?

Running Mavericks. Have a 2 TB surplus Time Capsule that I would like to use to back up an iMac using an ethernet cable between the iMac and the TC rather than wirelessly. (I am trying to avoid yet another Wi-Fi device on my Airport Extreme network and the reduced performance that comes with extending a network.) Indeed I have made this work per Bob Timmons prior posts by hooking the TC to both the iMac and temporarily to the Airport Extreme via ethernet cable.
Due to house configuration, it is not possible for me to permanently run ethernet between the Airport Extreme and the TC. In my experimenting, after setup I unhooked the connection between TC and Airport Extreme and the iMac and I thought the iMac was continuing to recognize the TC and backup to it over ethernet, but after a re-start I cannot get that configuration to work again.
1.     Do I understand that the design of the TC is such that it cannot be used as an attached ethernet hard drive for Time Machine backups unless it is at all times also connected to a [Airport Extreme] router?
2.     If No. 1 above is true, is there any wireless configuration of the TC that would allow for the benefits of ethernet connection to the iMac but not have the permanent router/TC ethernet connection?
3. Finally, if I am out of luck on ethernet only from the iMac, since I don't use the iMac wirelessly for anything, can a create a new network with the TC and have the iMac wirelessly connect with that without a permanent router connection?
Thanks very much

Thanks for your insightful questions and comments!
If you have an Ethernet cable connected to the iMac, the iMac will default to the Ethernet connection, even if wireless is on at the iMac.So, if you want to backup the iMac over wireless, you will have to manually disconnect the Internet Ethernet cable at the iMac every time that you want to back up the iMac. Once the backup over wireless is completed, then you will have to connect the Internet Ethernet cable again to the iMac.
Is this true? I was referring to the ethernet cable running between the iMac and the TC, not the main ethernet connection to my home network. My entire goal here has been to simply hookup the TC to the iMac solely for backup purposes via ethernet. However, you have convinced my I cannot do that without the TC also being connected to the Airport router at the same time., which I believe is not practical for the reasons below. So again, assuming that the iMac is connected to the TC via the TC's separate wireless network, is not the ethernet cable between iMac and TC not used - or will the iMac communicate to the TC via faster ethernet instead of defaulting to the slower wireless network?
The iMac is about 12" away from the iMac and I am not trying to hide it - I just want to use it as a ethernet backup disk!
I guess I'm wondering why.....if the Mac connects to the AirPort Extreme using Ethernet.....you cannot connect the Ethernet cable from the AirPort Extreme to the Time Capsule first, then connect another Ethernet cable from the Time Capsule to your iMac.
Then, the iMac is always connected using Ethernet, and you won't have to use wireless at all. You can backup over the much faster Ethernet connection. Everything will stay connected all the time.....no cable disconnecting.....and you have the best performance as well.
Good question! My newly remodeled house has an ethernet network wired throughout. One ethernet outlet per room. (The Airport Extreme router connects to a Comcast modem via the ethernet network, each in separate rooms. I was able to connect the TC to the Airport router using an 80 foot temporary cable running between rooms.) Maybe there is a way to have the TC "share" the iMac single ethernet port in the room that I am not aware of?   Appreciate your thoughts.
But, again....If the TC and iMac will be close to each other....why mess with wireless and cable swapping when you can do everything over Ethernet, and always stay connected to the AirPort Extreme network.
You are preaching to the choir. I don't want to use wireless at all for backup or even have it on for my iMac. The lack of a connection between TC and Airport router is what seems to be stopping me.
The TC will create both a 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz network automatically. The iMac will look at both signals and choose the best with which to connect. If the iMac has line-of-sight, or is in the same room as the TC, then it will likely connect at the faster 5 GHz connection.
And here is the last puzzle. Assuming that I cannot resolve the ethernet to router issue, I am today backing up to the TC (also connected via ethernet cable to iMac) via the separate WiFi network created by the TC. The backup has worked several times today. Despite this, Airport Utility reports that the TC cannot be found even though it was "previously part of the network." Any ideas on that one?
Thanks

HT3819 how to use home sharing using a different apple id?

I use to have a regular ipod where I would buy music from itunes using my parents email account and apple id, but now I have an ipod touch where I set it up using my own email and apple id, how do I transfer my music from my parents desktop to my laptop? I'm having difficulties doing so because we don't use the same apple id. Is there a way this can be done?

You could copy the music to a DVD to your laptop then authorize it to play the songs purchased with that other Apple ID.

HT3819 what is the role of the internet connection in home sharing. is home sharing using up my limited internet download allowance.n

What is the role of the internet in using Home Sharing. Does using home sharing use up my limited amount of available internet download ?
Thanks Mike Anderson

Home sharing allows you to play music across devices via wifi, so it shouldn't impact your limited amount. Think of it as streaming as opposed to downloading.

How to back up your mac with dvd-sharing?

i have a mac mini fall 2012 so i havent got any dvd drive, but my mac has it, i can dvd share, at least it says it can, but i cant see the empty disc that i want to make my backup on, i do not know how to back up my mac when i dont have a external dvd drive for my mac mini, and dont have a external harddisc.
pleas help me explain how to do it.
mikkel

Hello Mikel,
As far as I know CD/DVD Sharing is Read Only, you can't write to it remotely.
Also, DVDs for backup is not very good for most things, a cheap USB Hard Drive would be far better/faster.
You could, if need be, make Disk Images of what you want to backup on the Mini, then move the files to the other Mac for burning.

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

Upgrade to Tiger with DVD sharing?

Hi,
My upgraded Digital Audio G4 (now 1GHz + 1Gig ram) is running Panther and has no DVD drive for the Tiger Install disks. I'd like to upgrade to Tiger. Is it possible to use DVD sharing on my new Snow Leopard iMac to do this? If not can I use an external DVD drive with USB or Firewire connection?
Thanks,
Frank

I don't know what DVD sharing is but Target Disk Mode should work. Use the new Mac as the DVD drive. Note, you will need to use black retail installer discs for this, not the gray computer-specific discs that came with another model computer.

CD or DVD Sharing with new Mac Air on LION!

I was thinking that I would be able to put in audio CD I was going to be able to watch it. If I put a cd I get the following error: The operation can't be completed because the original item for "Audio CD" can't be found.
I also trie to play a DVD. With the DVD I am able to open the DVD and look into the files but it won't play the movie.
The Apple Genius stated that this is how the CD or DVD Sharing works. It was not intended for you to you to play an audio cd from another computer or watch a DVD from another computer.
Do you guys agree with this?

Sorry it's not the answer you hoped for.
Please note the items listed under Legend in the right sidebar of this page.

How can I screen share over ethernet?! Also DVD sharing?!

I contacted the complimentary apple 'support' to no avail. I just got a mac mini with lion 10.7.2. I have a macbook with snow leopard 10.6.8, both computers have just installed most recent updates. My goal is to get these two machines working in conjunction.
I have enabled screen sharing and it works, but very poorly. I have enabled DVD sharing, and it works poorly, very briefly if at all, before force quitting itself. I asked a gentleman in the apple store what was up with the lag, poor resolution etc. I experience with screen sharing and he said "it's the nature of the beat". He went on to suggest connecting them via Ethernet or another tangible connection. But how?!
I'm so frustrated I have called 'support' four times and not even progress has been made. Please help

Yes, that is an option and I appreciate the feedback. However, I find Messages to be pretty useful for it's main purpose - bridging my iPhone messages with my MacBook - so I am hesitant to go back.
I tried looking into other options but Skype doesn't allow me to control the other person's screen and screen sharing, if I am understanding it correctly, seems tailored for people on the same network.
I tried setting up the VNC thing, but when I clicked the other users link it never connects.
Are there any options for people with different iCloud IDs on different Macs in different cities to connect for screen sharing assistance?
