How to Setup iTunes Server with dedicated Mac

Hi,
I'm about to attempt to setup an iTunes Server. But before I do I want to make sure I have everything needed in order to accomplish this the way I envision it.
This is the hardware/software I have:
1. Powerbook G4 1.5Ghz
2. iPhone
3. Time Capsule
4. USB Drive
5. Airport Express connected to Stereo
6. iTunes 8
7. Screen Sharing
8. 10.5.5
9. Intel iMac
Here's what I want to be able to do (ideally):
1. Have iTunes run on the Powerbook.
2. Store all of the media files on the USB drive that is connected to the Time Capsule.
3. Have Time Machine backup the files from the USB drive to the Time Capsule.
4. Use the iPhone as a remote control to skip and rate songs, etc.
5. Sync the iPhone with the Powerbook for Music & Movies and sync it with my desktop iMac for everything else. Also, be able to sync iPods to the Powerbook.
6. Occasionally use iTunes Sharing on my iMac to watch movies or TV shows that are "hosted" by the Powerbook.
7. Occasionally hard-wire the Powerbook to my TV to watch movies or TV shows that are "hosted" by the Powerbook.
7. Not have the Powerbook hard-wired to anything (other than when syncing iPhone & iPods and when it's connected to the TV).
8. Use Screen Sharing to make playlists and generally edit iTunes from my desktop iMac.
Is all of this possible? The only real hiccup I anticipate is with Time Machine backing up the USB drive to the Time Capsule. That and maybe the streaming of movies not working so smoothly on the 802.11g protocol.
Have I missed anything?

Everything should be good.
I have a similar set-up, just substitute my mini in place of your powerbook.
The only thing I would add is I have yet to get coverflow to work on a networked library. In other words, when I view my mini iTunes library from my iMac- I don't see the album artwork or the movie posters...it's just a list of the media.
No major deal, but the reason I keep my drive connected to the mini as opposed to a NAS (network attached storage) device like the Time Capsule.
My mini is my media center and I want to be able to view the cover artwork/posters.
If there is a better way- let me know!

Use the Remote Desktop icon on the tray and make sure to use the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) on the 'name of server' field. If that does not work then use the IP address to connect.

When I access a windows files server with the mac I am adding .apple (hidden files). How can I prevent this?

Look for a program called BlueHarvest. I'm not sure if it still works with Mountain Lion.
I believe your file server can be set up to handle the metadata files, but I suppose that would depend on the Server software and your IT staff.

How do i sync iphone with multiple macs? and few questions

Hi
I would appreciate if anyone would help me.
1. I would like to know how to sync my iphone with different macs. I have a macbook 13 and a macbook 15 and would like to use BOTH to be able to transfer data without losing them. (address, apps, photos and music)
would like to use this feature if I were to be suddenly on a trip and a friend would like to share some of his files (audio, apps, photos..etc)
2. is it possible to use internet tethering on multiple macs or example a "spontanious" mac? (ex. if I were suddenly to use internet through usb on a friends mac while we were on a trip but it were programmed on my mac at home)
3. my internet tethering is only working on one mac which I usually use to sync everything... i tried just using tethering through usb on the other mac wihtout any sync but somehow it didnt work... usually i just plug and play and start using firefox... by automatic detection...
4. is there also a way to copy files from iphone onto a mac which would not be one of my libraries?
5. why cant i use iphone like the ipod as a disk use?
I am aware that these things are somewhat possible because i have read quiet a few artivles but they are sadly enough not so current... any help appreciated.

#1: As has been said, you can't get around it. An iPhone cannot be synched to more than one computer for any media content (it can be for contacts and calendar information, I believe).
#4: You can transfer items purchased from the iTunes Store to another computer but only if you disallow synchronization and authorize that computer to your iTunes Store account. There are third-party utilities that can transfer non-iTunes Store content.
#5: there is no disk mode in an iPhone and no way to enable one, at least not in the sense of disk mode in earlier iPods. There are third-party apps that allow some file transfer to and from an iPhone.
I can't help with tethering questions.

Hello, since nobdy else has replied...
Long shot, but...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there.

How to configure UDDI Server with in EDK with a 4.5WS?

I'm trying to develop a crawler service using EDK5.0.1 with a 4.5ws portal.
To do this job, I have to deploy and coufigure a UDDI Server which is a requirement for services in 4.5ws.
After develping and deploying a crawler service, I created gadget server in the 4.5ws portal, and tried to add remote data source, but the popup window for datasource seems not to be able to find the crawler service and showed 'Empty Gadget Server'.
I think I set up the uddi server with a wrong way, but I don't know what I have to do more to set a uddi server.
Actually, after developing crawler service and sci service, I deployed these with DeployServlet which is a deploy toolkit offered by EDK.
With this deploying result, I modified the uddi.xml file and put that file into c:\program files\Plumtree\ptedk\5.0\devkit\config\java\uddi folder.
Is there any things to set for uddi server?
Can anybody provide me any advise on this?
Any help would be appricated.

The UDDI is used with web services in 4.5x. This is best described as a phone book of URLS for any web services installed in that machine. Those URLS will then point to the individual web services.
In 5.0 the UDDI server is not needed since it is replaced with the "Remote Server" and "Web Services" tabs. HOw to setup a UDDI with TOMCAT
UDDI can be setup to run with TOMCAT and I believe this is the only one provided in the EDK installer in the ptedk\5.0\devkit\java directory
Here's a little TOMCAT information. Web applications are deployed in a folder called "webapp". This case, we have a uddi server installed and it's in a folder called "uddi". So, our file structure for the UDDI server looks like: /webapp - tomcats web application folder /uddi - the uddi application /WEB-INF - standard WEB-INF directory stores java classes, jars and any descriptor files. server-config.wsdd - this is the web service descriptor file for this uddi server - provided by plumtree web.xml - this is the web.xml descriptor file for how the web services in this application will be loaded and run - provided by plumtree /lib - contains the jar files for the uddi server - provided by plumtree The server-config.wsdd file should be the only item that the user needs to modify. Within the file (XML based), there should be the following tag:  <service name="MessageService" provider="java:MSG" style="message"> <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="find_tModel find_business find_binding"/> <parameter name="className" value="com.plumtree.remote.uddi.UDDIServer"/>  <parameter name="baseUrl" value="http://rickc-loaner:81/ntcws/"/>  <parameter name="isDotNet" value="true"/>   <parameter name="crawlerName" value="NT File CWS"/>  <parameter name="authName" value=""/>  <parameter name="documentProviderRpc" value="DocumentProviderSoapPort"/>  <parameter name="containerProviderRpc" value="ContainerProviderSoapPort"/>   <parameter name="sciDataSourceRpc" value="SciSoapPort"/>  <parameter name="sciCrawlRpc" value="SciSoapPort"/>  <parameter name="sciCardRpc" value=""/>   <parameter name="authProvider" value=""/>  <parameter name="syncProvider" value=""/>  <parameter name="authSci" value=""/>  <parameter name="documentProviderDoclit" value="documentprovidersoapbinding.asmx"/>  <parameter name="containerProviderDoclit" value="containerprovidersoapbinding.asmx"/>   <parameter name="sciDataSourceDoclit" value="xuiservice.asmx"/>  <parameter name="sciCrawlDoclit" value="xuiservice.asmx"/>  <parameter name="sciCardDoclit" value="xuiservice.asmx"/> </service> This tag contains the information that will be specific to the user's deployment of the web service (CWS or AWS).First off: <parameter name="baseUrl" value="http://machinename:81/ntcws/"/>
This is the location of the web server that has the target web service installed. THIS CANNOT BE "localhost". This has to be a resolvable machine name or IP address. In 5.0 this is the Remote Web Service settings. Second, you need to set the type of web service.  <parameter name="isDotNet" value="true"/> If your app server hosting the web service is dotnet, you need to set this to "true". This is equivalent to the Document encoding setting in 5.0. .NET supports Document/Literal incoding instead of RPC for Java. Third, name your web services. This is the name that will display in the drop down list in 4.5WS when you decide to create a remote data source.  <parameter name="crawlerName" value="NT File CWS"/>  <parameter name="authName" value=""/> This is the web service name property when you create a new web service in 5.0. Next are the configuration settings for your particular web service:  <parameter name="documentProviderRpc" value="DocumentProviderSoapPort"/>  <parameter name="containerProviderRpc" value="ContainerProviderSoapPort"/>   <parameter name="sciDataSourceRpc" value="SciSoapPort"/>  <parameter name="sciCrawlRpc" value="SciSoapPort"/>  <parameter name="sciCardRpc" value=""/>   <parameter name="authProvider" value=""/>  <parameter name="syncProvider" value=""/>  <parameter name="authSci" value=""/>  <parameter name="documentProviderDoclit" value="documentprovidersoapbinding.asmx"/>  <parameter name="containerProviderDoclit" value="containerprovidersoapbinding.asmx"/>   <parameter name="sciDataSourceDoclit" value="xuiservice.asmx"/>  <parameter name="sciCrawlDoclit" value="xuiservice.asmx"/>  <parameter name="sciCardDoclit" value="xuiservice.asmx"/> These are equivalent to setting the Document provider URL, Container Provider URL, Remote UI URL etc etc that are in 5.0 web services settings. Once you have installed the UDDI server, and started TOMCAT, you should be able to hit the services list at:http://machinewithuddi:8080/uddi/services This will become your Remote Gadget Server URL and you should be good to go!!

We just moved from a Windows server to a Mac server with our Macs -problem!

We just moved from a Windows server to a Mac server with our Mac Network!!!
Problem:
Now, when we create files from our personal computers, no one else can write them. We can all read these files, but when we make changes we have to save a version! This wasn't happening on the Windows server, so I can only guess that it's a setting on the Mac? (G4 Laptop running 10.4.5)
Can anyone help me figure out what setting needs to be changed?
Thank you very much in advance!
-Alex

This is normal behavior, and is a result of the POSIX umask. Newly created files have their POSIX permissions (owner, group, and everyone fields) set such that only the owner can read and write.
The best way to solve this problem is to use an ACL entry to define desired permissions for a folder, specifying inheritance (e.g., permissions apply to this folder and any newly-created files or folders inside of that).
Please see my ACL Tips version 2 link for more information, including a more detailed explanation of POSIX and ACL permissions and how they work together: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1732788

Hi Vinit,
if you want some Windows File Server integrated into Portal, please do not use a WebDAV Repository, but use the File System Repository instead. Therefore you need to configure the according Repository Manager. Please refer to this documentation:
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/ed/b334ea02a2704388d1d2fc3e4298ad/frameset.htm">Integrating Documents from a Windows System into KM</a>

I need to change a photo into a video file in order to post on youtube. How can I do this with my mac?

I need to change a photo into a video file in order to post in youtube. How can I do this with my mac mini?

When I go to import, the choices are :
movies
camera archive
imovie for IOS
imovie for HD
It refuses to import a photo with any of these choices, which is located on the desktop or in a folder. It's a regular .jpg
There are instructions to drag it. I put it there, and it bounces right back. The photo will not stay.
I just need this one picture to go on so I can post a meditation on youtube. It doesn't come from a camera.

Replacing a windows server with a Mac server

Hi all,
So this is a big company with about 150 employees using PC's (win xp and 7), considering replacing the current Windows server with a Mac server.
Is it possible to give users profiles once they log in like Windows server does? So when the user logs in they get to their own personal stuff? Can Mac server do that?
Can the user also get to the default printer and send prints to it regardless where they log in from inside the company?
And can the home directory to each user NOT be copied anywhere on the local machine where they log in? Meaning that after they log out there will be no traces to their files on that local PC..
Thanks a lot in advance!!

By some standards, 150 is not "big" but a large small business :-)
Regardless, please plan and test and plan some more, very carefully !
The picture for what you want to do once looked far better with 10.6 server but that had its limitations as well.
With 10.6 server, Apple was using Samba - they are no longer doing so,
but/and the version of Samba they were using only provided NT-Domain level support.
So that would not work with your Win 7 stations either. But could be made to work relatively well with XP workstations. You can no longer buy any new Mac that runs 10.6 server and 10.6 server would be hard to obtain.
Not a great route to go.
Bear in mind that the key problem with Apple's Samba was that Samba changed their licensing,
and there's not a thing in the world Apple could do to implement a current version of Samba without violating their own operating principles and the licensing requirements.
You'll be heading into heavily uncharted territory here. Odds are good that any desired domain-functionality is not going to work for you.
Honestly, Apple appears to have thrown in the towel on directory-level support for Windows,
and the best way to support Windows workstations in that regard is with Windows server and AD.
Basic filesharing works, with some caveats.
If there's no AD involved at all, then have a look at my earlier post,
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3206725?start=47
Which worked a-ok for me but your mileage may vary.
Samba new current versions and GPL3 licensing issue:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3206725?start=75&tstart=0
"GPLv3 makes it impossible to provide signed binaries without also providing the signing keys. A few seconds of thought will reveal why Apple is unwilling to provide copies of the keys they use to sign system software. Part of locking down OS X security profile required removing anythign that used GPLv3.
Short version: GPLv3 is specifially desinged to be anti-company, and you are going to see a ever widening schism in the FSS/OSS community between GPL and all the other licenses, and you will be seeing less and less GPL code in commercial OSes and more BSD/Apache/&c code."

How does create a server with multiple Clients ?
Thanks

For a multithreaded server you will need a thread to listen and at least one thread per client. If the conversation is half duplex, one thread per client works very well, if it's full duplex you will find one thread to send and one to receive much easier to program.
I posted a Simple Socket Server that uses 1+2*clients threads.
