How to manage only 1 library in a network

Hi,
I'm using both a iMac and a MacBook. I want to manage only 1 iTunes Library. I have put my library into Timecapsule because I have lots of room. TC is also my wireless router.
However, when I play music on my computer, I got music timeouts (sounds cut for a few seconds) which is really annoying. Could I overcome this problem somehow?
If I place my iTunes library into the "share folder" then accessible from both computer, would that be better in terms of sound quality? If so, would that take room on my MacBook or iMac?
Thx
Simon

There is quite a bit of data that is stored in the System Properties. Run this little test app and it'll display all of the System Properties, what you are looking for may be contained in there:
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.getProperties().list(System.out);
}

you can only be logged into one account at a time on the iTunes store. However, you can authorize your computer for both accounts, making your computer work with both. In the menu bar just click [Store > Authorize Computer]

How to manage a library

how to manage a library? I would like to save half of the library to a external HD, is it possible?

I would like to save half of the library to a external HD, is it possible?
Storing libraries across multiple devices is not supported in iPhoto - you would need Aperture for that.
What you could do, would be to split your library in two libraries, one with the older events, and one with the newer events, for example.
A simple way to do this is
Update your backups, so you have a current backup copy of your system, before you start deleting from your iPhoto libary.
Then connect the external drive and check, if the file system of that drive is correct - MacOS Extended (Journaled). If the drive still has a different default file system, you need to move all data to a different drive and reformat it, see: Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture
Drag the iPhoto library in the Finder from your Pictures folder (or the current location) to a folder on the external drive. This will create a copy on this drive. Test this copy, if it working. If you are satisfied, that the copy went well, delete the events you do not currently need from the internal libary on yor mac. Ensure that the external drive will be included in your backups.
The more flexible solition would be to use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager. That will allow you to move selected events to another library. See:

How to manage iphoto library

I currently have 33,000 pictures in iphoto. How do you recommend managing my library? Ideally I would like to have a separate library by year. Since I have about 5 years worth of photos in this existing library how do I seperate them?
Thanks

The free way: IF you have enough disk space: Duplicate your library and remove the pics for the other four years... repeat as necessary.

How to manage iPhoto library that's too big for my hard drive

I have a mid-2007 iMac with a 250 GB HD. My iPhoto library is 164GB. Is there a way to move this library off the HD to a backup drive? I have no more capacity to operate with.
O'S X 10.7.5. IPhoto '11

Yes, you can move the iPhoto Library to any other attached Mac drive and it will work fine. Double-click the moved file to launch iPhoto, and it will remember the library location the next time - you can just launch iPhoto normally from that point on.
Delete the original once you're sure the new file works.
You might also want to look at iPhoto Library Manager, which lets you split a large library file into multiple libraries. I think it's about $20-30.

How to manage iphoto library location?

I can have iphoto library either in Mac's SSD (128GB) or external hard-disk. If the whole library is in SSD, it can't grow beyond 128GB or at max 512 GB). If I move the whole library to external hard-disk, I will have to mount it every time I need to look at the photos. Is it possible to split the library between mac's internal SSD and external hard-disk such that favorite and recent photos stay on both SSD and hard-disk and all the photos in external hard-disk? Whenever hard-disk is plugged in, it can sync and show all the photos in iphoto. Is it possible to do this in mac?

Yes. By having two Libraries.
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

HOW TO MANAGE SECOND LIBRARY ON ONE PC

I have created a second library on my Win 7 PC as per instructions. I have added files from one folder. My question is....if I tick yes to these two options in Edit>Preferences>Advanced :
KEEP ITUNES MEDIA FOLDER ORGANIZED
COPY FILES TO ITUNES MEDIA FOLDER WHEN ADDING TO LIBRARY
Will it affect my original library?
Will the second library behave the same as the original?
I wish to keep the source folders for the two libraries separate from one another. Any advice here would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Chris,
As you suggested, I plugged the "New Nano" in my C110 and it worked fine. All songs from my "Old Ipod" are now on the "New Ipod". The 60GB is assigned to the C300 and tomorrow I will get back my "old repaired Nano" and I would like as well to assign it the the C300, but I think my laptop won't recognize it. Can you assign more than one Ipod per PC?

How do I Create and Manage one library for several computers

As our family has grown over the years, we have 4 kids and 6 macs and duplicate images scattered thought all the separate computers in their own libraries. Is there a way to create and manage one central library that all computers access? That way we can reduce the headaches when we need an image and have to go to each computer and search it's library. Not to mention when we need to jump on a computer and it doesn't happen to be the one we have our library on and need to download our pictures and they end up forever lost on a different computer.

You cannot share a library over the network, since a library needs to be on a locally mounted volume, but you can put a shared library onto a "sneaker drive" and plug it into each of your mad in turn, see Apple's support document:
iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201517
iPhoto does not support to merge libraries. But iPhoto Library Manager can.
You can download it here: http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/
See : http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/Help/merging%20libraries.html
Or, if you have Aperture, you can use it to merge libraries. Aperture 3.3: How to use Aperture to merge iPhoto libraries

Hello dreid20,
Indeed, you can move your iTunes Library to a network volume. The only stipulation to keep in mind is that you'll need to be connected to this volume before launching iTunes for it to function properly.

How to view aperture library from another computer on network?

Hi,
I'd like to simply view (not edit) my aperture library from another computer on my home network. The aperture library resides on a mac pro, and I'd like to see the images on a macbook pro to show family members. On the surface, this seems like a simple concept - as Apple TV can do this with home sharing. Further, itunes can share it's library in this manner. Is this possible?
thank you,
T

You don't mention which OS you're using and I understand that Lion has changed some of the sharing features but what you are looking to do is doable.
Be warned that accessing an Aperture library over a network is slow and definitely not something you want to do if editing except in an emergency and you want to make triple sure that only one user is accessing the library at a time. But I regularly access libraries over wireless when I'm to lazy to walk across the house and need to check somthing out.
If you are using Snow Leopard go into System preferences->Sharing and tune on file sharing on the the Mac Pro. If you have the same user name on both systems you should have no problem accessing the library from the MBP.
If you're on Lion, you'l need to lok up how to enable file sharing. I haven't swithced so I can;r help you there.
good luck

Hi guys I have a iPad 2 I recently upgraded it from iOS5 to ios7. Since then it only uses the 8ta network but in the top left hand corner it says no service with 3G next to it how am I able to fix this? Could it be a hardware problem?

Since I upgraded my iPad from iOS5 to ios7 my iPad will only work on one network.
However in the top left hand corner is says no service with 3G next to it.
I took it to Apple istore in clearwater mall and they couldn't help me.
Please advise me on how to sort the problem out.
Kind Regards

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

[NSFileHandle][Sockets] How to manage a network disconnection?

Hi,
I have built a client/server app that communicates via TCP/IP.
The *Client is an iPhone Application* that receives and sends many messages of variable sizes through a NSFileHandle object linked with a socket as its filedescriptor
I catch *incoming bytes trough an Observer* whose matching message is named "DataAvailable:(NSNotification *)aNotification".
*When the server stops*, the observer receives one last "dataAvailable" notification, which I try to manage with the [NSFileHandle readdataoflength:1]... that throws an *exception indicating the +connection has been reset by peer+* , which I catch and manage through a SocketDidDisconnect: homemade message.
But I have a *problem when the disconnection occurs directly because of a network disconnection* (I did disconnect the network on purpose) : I receive *no "DataAvailable" notification* (although it receive one I just close the connection from the server Application).
Then I thought I could check every 1/10 seconds if my connection was still ok by trying to do a [MyNSFileHandle ReadDataOfLength:0] : that would throw an exception as soon as my connection goes down. But obviously, reading 0 bytes does not have any effect. And since I don't wanna loose the queued incoming data by various random reading, I don't know how to detect such a network problem.
If any of your has an idea about *how to manage a network disconnection with a NSFileHandle without involving the random reading of queued incoming data*, I will listen to you with the greatest interest.
Thank you for reading till the end.

Looks like it will be of some help, yes.
But I don't have time to test it today. I'll tell you as soon as I have tested it.
Thanks anywa for your help

No worries. Apple will continue to support your phone. By "discontinued", they just mean that they are not selling new ones anymore. You will still be able to get IOS7, you will still be able to get support and service, you will still be able to buy apps and music, use FaceTime, Mail, Messages.....
Nothing has changed except that you can't buy a new one....
Cheer up - all is well!

Can't open safari. when I go to HD, then library...there is no input manager only input method and it is blank

I can't open safari. I tried Mac HD to library...it does not show a input manager, only methods and there are no files associated with it. This just started this
morning. Firefox works.

Hi,
There are two libraries. One is System one is your User account.
InputManagers folder is in the system library.
Open a Finder window. Select MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder. The Input Managers folder is in there.
I think you are looking in your "users folder" which you can access in the same Finder window by selecting your user account (it has a small house icon).
I saw your post here. https://discussions.apple.com/message/15025894#15025894
If you think you have the Community Toolbar installed you need to check these folders.
/Library/Application Support/ Move the Conduit file to the Trash.
/Library/Application Support/ Move all of these files to the Trash: SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
/Library/InputManagers/ Move CTLoader to the Trash.
/Library/Receipts/ Move ctloader.pkg to the Trash.
/Library/ScriptingAdditions/ Move any Conduit / CTLoader related files in that folder to the Trash.
/Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/ Move Conduit to the Trash.
