HT201301 Can't access PDFs shared to Kindle app

I can't access PDFs shared through iTunes on my Kindle app on ipod touch - they don't appear. Have used file sharing successfully with Pages, so can't figure out why this won't work ;/

We are doing this without issue. You neglect to specify the errors seen on both sides, and how you are trying to gain access.
The issue is that your are most likely NOT being prompted for credentials. Use the NET USE command supplying the proper user ID and Password to create the drive letter. And a couple things you MUST do: Disable Op Locks on the SAMBA server. Here are snippet from a working /etc/samba/smb.conf for our grpwise share. And disable the rest of the samba shares ( login, etc... ) these should be commended out in your smb.conf. So in the end you should have a [global] section and a section for your share.
Code:
[grpwise]
comment = Transfer
inherit acls = Yes
path = /grpwise
read only = No
oplocks = False
level2oplocks = False
From the W2K8 server...
net use G: \\10.10.10.123\grpwise * /user:root /savecred /persistent:yes
* means "Prompt for Password" Oh Horrors! Using the SuSE boxes root user! You can avoid that by provisioning a user in SLES and then creating them a SAMBA password ( Google is your friend ) and then you can use that user / password. Now you will have a persistent drive what should come back.

HT201269 Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time. As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts. How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account

Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time. As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts. How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account please?

Yes.
On their iOS devices, under Settings>iTunes & App Store, they should use your Apple ID. When they log into iCloud, iMessage and Facetime, they should use their personal Apple IDs.

On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD on a different computer using Home Sharing? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

Yes, you can copy songs that you ripped from a CD to your Home Sharing computer.
Turn on Home Sharing first on both computers. To do that, go to File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing. Enter your Apple ID and password.
Now go to your computer that you want to copy the songs to and connect to your Home Share. You can do that by clicking on the popover button located at the left top corner right below the play control buttons. Click on it and scroll to the bottom until you see your Home Share and select it.
Go to Music in your Home Share. Select the songs that you want to copy in your Home Share and click Import at the bottom right corner.

Can't access some shared files

I have a computer here where the user can't access some shared files. From the machine she normally uses, the folders are greyed out. I've checked all the permissions, and everything is in order. She was even able to access the folder from a different Mac. The mac is fully patched, running OS 10.6.8.

More Info:
After trying multiple things, I have more info to solve the problem. 2 other computers (one is another iBook and the other is a PC) in the house, access the hard drive as advertised with no problems. The only thing that has changed on my computer recently is the replacement of a 1G iPhone with an iPhone 3Gs. This phone did some weird things when syncing, specifically with our photo programs. It locked up Nikon transfer and iPhoto was working strangely. I felt the best way to alleviate those 2 problems was to shut down my computer, and restart. This is when I encountered the problem with accessing the TC. Things are also a little bit more complicated because I use the TC as the storage medium for both iTunes Library and iPhoto Library, both of which I can't access given the current problem.

Can I access PDF files?

Can I access PDF files?

To expand on Johnathan's very precise reply:
PDFs can be easily read on iOS devices using apps such as iBooks, Goodreader and a myriad of others. You have to open the PDF file in one of these apps. Typically, if you receive a PDF via email, if you tap and hold on the PDF attachment icon in Mail, you will get a dialogue offering you a chance to "Open In..." and if you have PDF reading apps on your iPad, you will see a list. Choose one and the PDF will open in that app.

Can't access home sharing with current Apple ID info

I can't access Home Sharing with my current Apple ID info. But I can access the discussions forum with my current Apple ID info though. This is very strange. Anyone having this problem? I tried turning on the Home Sharing function in the iTunes Advanced menu, but to no avail because it won't accept my current Apple ID info. I have the ATV2 model.

My ATV 2 can get view movies from Netflix and Youtube without a problem, but when there's a need to use my Apple ID for the Home Sharing function -- from either my Mac or the ATV 2 -- it won't work. It's weird how my Apple ID can access this discussion group without a problem, but can't engage the Home Sharing. I'll see if there's another update available for the ATV 2. Hopefully that might help. Many thanks for trying to help.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Re: That garbage is unreadable.
If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

Can't access Logic Pro 9 from app store.

Hey guys,
Can't access Logic Pro 9 from app store. I purchased it from the App Store for my iMac in Jan 2012. I know have my wife's old macbook, and I'm trying to get put Logic on that computer too. I just updated it to Snow Leopard so that I could access the App Store.
Logic Pro shows up in the purchases tab on the laptop, but when I click install, the install button just goes white for a few seconds, then back to grey.
If I click on the App itself it says "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Australian Store." Only thing is I tested out downloading it onto my wife's new laptop only 2 weeks ago. Has it been removed from the App Store forever in that short little window? Quite annoying if I've missed the boat by such a short amount of time. If that is the case, is there any other way of transferring the app from one computer to another?
Thanks,
Thom

No.. its still available on the Aus App Store.... I was just speaking with a client of mine in Geelong and he successfully downloaded it under the Purchase tab last Saturday so....
Sign out of the App Store
Quit the App Store
Restart your Mac
Launch the App Store..
Sign into the App Store... using the Apple ID you used to purchase Logic Pro 9
Look for any new Terms and Conditions popup you may need to agree to....
If you click on the actual Logic Pro 9 icon you will get the message you saw because LP9 isnt available to purchase on the App Store any longer... so only click on the install button to the far right of the Logic Pro 9 entry under the Purchase Tab...
Failing this... contact Aple directly as it is possible they will need to reset your Mac App Store account for it to work correctly (as has been needed in the past when this has occurred.)

How can I access a shared drive in window?

Hi
I have connected a 320GB hard drive to my Airport Extreme and it is all great. I can access it from my MacBook Air but when going onto Windows I cannot see it? I have tried the 'Map Network Drive' about 50 times and it never works! When looking on Airport Utility (on Windows) and I see it. I've looked at other discussions but they keep on going on about AEPS and such that I have no idea about! Could someone give me a step by step instructions on how to access my shared drive?
Thanks

Mac Book pro can't access some shared files on a windows machine. Please Help!!!

I have a early 2013 Mac Book Pro running Mac osx 10.8.3. I also have a 2002ish dell desktop. I have file sharing turned on for several drives on the dell and the mac finds and connects to the dell. I can also see the shared hard drives, but when i try to access certian files on the hard drvies the mac said something like you do not have permissions to access this folder. The folder has a little red icon in the corner and in the get info window it said that I have custom access. Also when i try to logon to the dell from the mac using connect as I enter the username for the windows account. There is no pasword so I leave that blank. When i click login it still said in finder that i was logged in as guest. Any help with either problem would be great. I don't know if the problems are linked or what, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
-Thanks!!!

Check topic E3 at this webpage: Time Machine - Troubleshooting. See if it can shed any light on the issue.
