How Do You Share A Superdrive with A Windows Machine?

Hi
I'm used to being able to share DVD burning drives between Windows desktops e.g. if I want to back up some files on my Windows laptop, I can use the DVD burner in another Windows box.
How do I share the Superdrive in my iMac desktop machine?
Thanks
Ian

Hi again,
I have just thought of another way : how about sharing folders between your PC and your Mac through the network and burning your PC folders from your Mac ?

  • HT1203 How do you share between users with Windows 8

    I have two user accounts on my computer.
    How do I share my music between them with iTunes with Windows 8.

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • How do you share/backup photos with iPhoto 8?

    In order to be able to view photos on any of our home computers, as well as for backup purposes, I had a script which whenever activated updated the Picture folders on each computer from the one that imported the pictures.
    However, after having installed iLife 08 on two computers, that script is no longer effective. It seems that my entire photo library is now in one enormous file (I have 25k pictures). One would think I could replace that file on the secondary computers with the one from the primary, but that would involve a 50+GB replacement every time -- hours instead of minutes.
    Any sagely advise available??

    Select the photo(s) and click share and share to the face book album you want

  • How will you share to idvd with the new iMovie software?

    after i updated my iMovie, sharing to idvd is gone, how will i transfer my movie to a dvd now? I bought my macbook in early 2011, still have the dvd drive.

    The apps in the multitaskbar should appear like pages on the whole display. To close them, just swipe from the bottom to the top. you can select single apps for closing, when you swipe them like you would swipe your homescreens.

  • How do you share library's with different accounts and different users

    My family has lots of music and to save hours of time we want to share our music, is this possible? The only problem is, we each have different Apple ID's and our own computers.

    Each device will ONLY sync what you select.
    Just do not select the apps that you do not want.  Only select the apps that you do want.

  • How do you share iCloud Photos with a group

    I have 8 people that I routinely share photos with in iCloud.  I have to manually add each person every time I create a new album.  Is there a way to create a group so I can simply add the group email and everyone will get notified?  I can create an email address on my server ([email protected]) and forward it to everyone's Apple ID, but that doesn't really work.  What if everyone added the address [email protected] as an alternate address in iCloud?  Would that work? 

    OS is Mavericks + server app

  • How do you share reminders with others in new (as of 14/09/12) iCloud?

    Now that reminders has its own 'app' on icloud.com, how do you share reminders lists with others? It has all changed in the past 24hrs or so. It used be possible by sharing from the calendar 'app' on icloud .com, now there is nowhere.

  • How can you share books with family members?

    I purchased a book in iTunes and it's on my library shelf. How can I share this book with my sister?

    If she has access to your Apple ID she can have your iBook on her device.  If she syncs to the same computer, just sync it to her device.  If she syncs to a different computer, copy the book from your iTunes library onto a flas drive (you'll find it on your hard drive in iTunes>iTunes Music>Books; it's an .epub file), then authorize your Apple ID on her computer (iTunes>Store>Authorize this Computer), then add the book to her library (iTunes>File>Add to Library) where she can sync it to her device.

  • How do you share thousands of pictures with text and captions outside of PSE?  (PSE 4)

    One of my dad’s retirement passions is family genealogy and old family pictures.  Several years ago I gave my family PSE 4.0 for Christmas so that we could each have backup copies of our dad’s pictures.  Usually once per year, I made backup copies of everything and emailed the DVDs to my brothers and sisters.  Everyone knows the basic PSE 4 functions and share our dad's enjoyment with the old family photos.
    My problem is that my dad is running out of pictures to scan.  He wants to “share” or “show” his photos with others so that he can “borrow” their photo albums in order to scan their photos.  He plans to attend a hometown high school reunion later this fall.  He hopes to "collect" photo albums from cousins and classmates.  I have been struggling with this for several days without any good ideas.
    The scanned pictures lack any text (added as a layer?) or captions.  Creating a slideshow (on my dad’s computer is slow).  Also, a slideshow doesn’t let others select individual pictures to save from the slide show
    He has old pictures pre-PSE 4 that allowed him to add captions directly to the picture when it was scanned.  I never liked this approach as it "destroyed" the actual picture but these old pictures are more easily shared as individual pictures.
    How do you share thousands of pictures with text and captions outside of PSE?  Can you save or export a composite picture with all the layers?
    Thanks in advance for your help and replies.

    I think it is one of the printer option screens that gives me the choice of tabbed 4x6. All of the choices specifiy HP or Other so I am pretty sure it is printer software that offers me this choice.
    Make sure your image has a 4x6 aspect ratio. I have been quite happy with the tabbed 4x6. Just need to remember to load the paper with the tab last.
    So, in elements you set to 4x6, in printer options you should be able to choose 4x6 tabbed paper.

  • How do you share movies with another account?

    My wife and I have separate iTunes accounts, and she wants to be able to see the videos I buy and vice versa. How do you share movies and t.v. shows through home sharing?

    One of you creates/owns the calendar on iCloud.com and then they can click the sharing icon (tilted wi-fi circle) and choose "private" put the other person's appleID email address and give View & Edit capability.  Then you should be able to Join the calendar and both make edits/updates to it.

  • How do I share multiple contacts with another iPhone?

    How do I share multiple contacts with another iPhone? Thanks in advance.

    What do you mean share? 
    It is not possible to send contacts from one iPhone to another without installing an app that would support this.  Bump is one such app.
    There is no functionality in iOS to do this.  iCloud can share contacts across multiple iDevices, but it would be ALL contacts, just just a few.

    How do I share my playlists with other accounts/users on my Mac?

    Hello,
    I have a similar question, which I posted 8perhaps inappropriately) in the Home Sharing discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17405588#17405588
    The problem I have is that it simply doesn't work and the question I have is how you do not move the the iTunes Library file or the iTunes Library.xml file when they are actually in the folder you are told by the article to move in the first place.
