How to share CDROM with Windows PCs?

Hi,
I'd like to share my CDROM drive with Windows computers on my network via Samba. I seem to be a little bit stuck in determining the file path to use for the drive in my Samba configuration.
Can anyone help with this?
Cheers

You can share any volume on your mac over samba wether it is usb disk, cd rom, hard drive etc without having to manually configure the samba config file if you use a great piece of shareware called sharepoints.
The problem you have is the volume name of a CD changes each time you use a different CD. So afaik you would have to create a new sharepoint each time you mount a CD rom with a different name.

If you mean just moving files between a Mac and a PC with XP on it, get a USB flash drive, format it FAT32 (they usually come that way) and copy the files to that drive.

How to share things with aplication express?

The most important thing for using a database is sharing things, but why I grant even all of one of my table to one user, but she even cannot use it, just say: error; userxxx don't have the right to access the content?
Very strange, and the Synonm is also no good, I create one for another user's table, like create synonm XXX for username.tablename.
but when I want to : Select x,x.x, from xxx, it doesn't work!!!

Better to give you some photos that can let you see
the problem , but that can not happen here.Actually, you can use pictures. Do a screen capture where you're having the problem, upload it to http://tinypic.com and then put the link to the picture here in your posting.
Please be noticed all , me and the users don't know
much about SQL, I know some. So everything has to be
done in the GUI interface.Well, the GUI isn't always enough. If you want to do grants you really need to use the SQL command window - and learn the proper syntax for the grant operation.
I(A) grant select , update, insert on A.xx to user
B,
but they see onthing in ther Application Express, how
can they do insert and all works just like I do ? What is the parsing schema for your application? Is it set to the schema where your data lives?

m8,
You might need to download the latest driver for your Dell Latitude(D600). PAN(personal Area Networking or Piconet) is just one of the profiles(device support/services) of bluetooth(SIG). Blue Soleil are only for that blutooth that uses that chips, like that of widcomm. Toshiba/HP laptops have updates for their bluetooth I can't see why Dell wouldn't have also. And check if the driver,is one that is known to work with Nokia phones.
Good luck.

How do I sync with windows mail contacts with my iPhone 4S? I want to move my email contact information from Windows Mail to my iPhone 4S

You don't need Outlook to sync contacts. You do have Windows Contacts available which is a supported address book application for syncing contacts with the iPhone.
Windows Live Mail is not an email client. Windows Live Mail is an email account that can be accessed via webmail access using a browser or with an email client such as with Outlook or Windows Mail on a PC.
You can export your Windows Live Mail contacts from your Windows Live Mail online address book for import into the Windows Contacts address book application on your PC which is supported for syncing contacts with your iPhone.

Still not sure how to share files with my friend's Windows PC?

I went through all the help pages concerning this, but it doesn't seem to help any. On our house internet connection, both our computers use the same IP address. I tried connecting directly to his computer using ethernet cable, but his computer never showed up. Our workgroup name should be the same, his is WORKGROUP but I'm not sure how to officially make mine that. I went to Network in System Preferences and clicked on Advanced... then went to the WINS tab and it has workgroup in the workgroup box, does this mean my computer is using that workgroup name? I'm at a loss and would like to share files with my friend's computer.

Do you have a router?
If not then sharing files will not be easy.

How to share account with multiple devices?

3 kids with 3 devices - an iPod Touch and two iPads Mini - family shares one account with Apple/iTunes and one library on our family PC. They use FACETIME and MESSAGES with their friends, and they all see each others messages and conversations. How do I fix this? Is there a setting or a way to create sub-accounts off the family account so they can still share the main library for music and video OR do I have to create separate Apple/iTunes accounts for each kid? Is there a setting on their devices that can help? Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm not even sure the right question to ask...

Adobe Creative Cloud - How To Share Files With Clients and Colleagues | Creative Suite Podcast: Designers | Adobe TV

In this episode of the Adobe Creative Suite Podcast, Terry White shows how to share Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign Files with clients and colleagues and all they'll need is a browser to comment and see your Photoshop Layers.
http://adobe.ly/10ZjpE4

Terry,
I guess I miss something. How can I share a folder of photos? When I return from a shoot, I select 20 of the pictures and need to share them with my client to pick up the favorites. Am I supposed to copy and past an URL for each image separately?
Sometimes I also work with a colleague, I need to share my favorites with him. Same issue.
We have tried Adobe Cloud, and then went for Dropbox. There we can share a folder and he can put even his pictures in it as well. That's what I call collaboration. And it is free (unlike Adobe Cloud). If you have some word in Adobe, please tell them to either drop it and make a deal with services like Dropbox, or make it properly.
Thanks.
Vaclav
