  • How to really "share" library, not just stream?

    My husband and I each have a macbook. I have 99% of the music on my computer and "share" my library with him. In iPhoto I do the same thing so he can drag the photos he wants onto his will the rest stay on my computer. He is unable to drag music onto his hard drive like photos in iPhoto. I know that music is different with DRM and all but both our computers are authorized and he'd like an easy way to pull some music onto his computer and thus also sync with his iPhone etc. Is there a workaround here or something else I'm missing? I don't see how this can really be called "Shared". It should be called "Streamed". Two people married to each other are not going to buy a song twice so why do they make it so hard?

    I just ran into the same problem. I want to store the files on my computer and let my wife use them on hers, for slideshows in iPhoto, etc. What iTunes calls "Sharing" is not that, it is "streaming", as you pointed out.
    I found a limited workaround for now: Use file sharing.
    • In her iTunes preferences, under Advanced, I deselected "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library".
    • Then I logged on to my computer with the Finder using file sharing.
    • Then I navigated to my computer's iTunes Music folder (typically in the user's home folder inside Music:iTunes), and dragged and dropped it onto the iTunes window on her computer. This caused her computer to import all of my iTunes files but instead of copying them, reference them to my computer's hard drive.
    As a test, I quit iTunes on her computer and disconnected from my computer and relaunched iTunes. When I double-clicked a song to play it, her computer automatically logged into my computer to access the song. She has to have the password for my computer remembered in her keychain to allow the auto login to work.
    Disadvantages:
    • To access songs from e.g. iPhoto, iTunes must be launched first and something played, to make iTunes automatically log in to my computer. Alternately, I could set her computer up to mount my computer's drive at startup.
    • My computer must be awake any time she wants to use iTunes.
    • She can't use my playlists.
    • It can take a very long time for her iTunes to process my iTunes Music folder even though it isn't copying all of the songs. It goes looking for album artwork and adjusts the song gaps all over again even though that info exists on my computer.
    Advantage:
    • She has access to all of the copyrighted songs that we legally own and she should have every right to use in any way she wants to, without requiring duplicate copies eating up space on her computer's hard drive.
    There might be better workarounds. Her entire Music:iTunes folder could simply be an alias to my computer's folder and auto mounted at login but there are disadvantages to that too. For example, iTunes wouldn't auto mount my disk, and changes she makes would be applied to my library. You might want that, it's your call.
    I suggest you and anyone else who thinks the iTunes sharing should be improved post a request to Apple Feedback at:

  • How to see my video not just hear it ?

    i have loaded a video to my ipod and when i play it i can hear it but not see it ? can someone help me please ?

    if that makes sense can anyone help please?
    Yes, it makes sense since it is asked almost daily.
    iWeb stores all the information in a domain.sites2 file in :
    ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
    where ~ is your Home directory.
    If that file is missing, you have to start from scratch as iWeb cannot import published webpages.
    You have to re-create the pages. Copy/paste the text and objects of your published pages to do that.
    The published pages are in the iDisk > Web > sites folder.

  • How do I delete videos from my photo library on Iphone 4s?

    How do I delete videos from my photo library on my Iphone 4s?

    If so, to remove the videos from the iPhone, I would set up sync to only sync pictures and videos checked.  At that point, the iPhone would no longer have the videos on the new sync, but the iMac would still retain the videos.  Sound close?
    If it turns out that the movies are syncing from your iMac to your iPhone through iTunes, then I would think it is just a matter of changing your sync selection to remove the video(s) from your iPhone.
    However, you may find that you may need to change your sync settings to not sync any photo/video content, perform a sync, then select a different source of photos to sync (optionally of course).
    I'm new to Mac so I can't say for sure if it is what I'm used to, but on my PC if I wanted to remove photos or videos that I had synced to my iPhone through iTunes I had to first sync no photo/video to remove them, then either sync to a different folder or move the undesired items out of the folder I was syncing to.
    But I no longer sync photo/video through iTunes, and have changed to a Mac Air so things may be different.  But the key is whether or not these undesired movies are actually synced to your iPhone through iTunes (sounds like they are).

  • How do I share all my files, photos etc.. on my wife's MAC?

    How do I share all my LR photos on my wife's MAC - really having two users both able to change photos for their own use?

    The only way I would recommend is to put the photos on an external HD, and also put the catalog file on the same external HD, and move that external HD back and forth between computers, and both of you work on the exact same catalog file.
    If that's not acceptable ...
    Lightroom really wasn't meant as a multi-user tool, and the only other way I know to do this is kind of tedious and involves repeated manual operations.
    If the photos are on a server, and you each have your own catalogs, then there's no problem with each user working on the photos independently on their own computer in their own Lightroom catalog. The problem comes in if you want to consolidate the changes made by the different users into one master catalog somehow. Then, for each change made, you need to combine the changes into the other catalog, and this can be done via File->Export as Catalog and then File->Import from Another Catalog. And then tomorrow when there are more changes, you have to do it again. And don't wind up in the situation where you accidentally forget to update a photo(s) like this, because then you have two catalogs that don't match.
    Better you should look at software like Daminion which is designed to be multi-user. (Note: I have not used Daminion, and so I am not recommending or endorsing it, I am simply stating that it allows multi-user catalogs)

  • After restoring how can I get my notes and photos back?

    I plugged my iPad then it shut down and when I plugged it again and it showed that I need to restore it..
    Now how do I get my notes and photos back...

    You'll have to resync using your own computer. It should restore from your backup.

  • How to apply a fade to all video, not just one element.

    Hi. Ignorant here. New to FCP X and pretty new to video editing.  I'm doing green screen stuff and I want to fade everything up from black. Trying to match the speed of the transitions is tough.  I'm assuming there's a function to control the whole video component, not just per element...'Little help?
    Thanks.

    Thanks Tom.  Yep, that works.  That was my next go-to but I'm reticent to create compound clips as I'd imagine there's a lack of individual control at that point.  Perhaps that just makes one plan one's workflow. I was hoping there was another way but hey, compound clips are easy to work with and can always be separated when you need to manipulate them individually.  Thanks much.

  • How do i share video from my mac

    How can I share a video from my Mac with other Mac users?  I tried to open the video through iphoto and "share" it through there, but it does not allow this.
    Thank you.

    What's the file size of the video you're trying to share?  In most cases, a video will be too large to email, so your best bet is to set up a free Dropbox account and share it through Dropbox. Another option might be to share it through iCloud.

  • How do you share video with Lion?

    Hi.
    I am having a very hard time trying to figure out how to share video that I've taken with my iPhone, synced to my iPhoto and sharing it on with my mobile me gallery.  iPhoto will let me make a new album and upload it to the gallery but then it no longer gives me the option of "sharing" the link via an email.  Sooo do I have to do it manually?  Copy the web address and send it out with name and password myself?
    While I'm on the subject, does anyone know the plan re: the gallery? How can we share our videos (and photos) privately?  This one of a few things that disappoints me about the cloud!  Is there a petition to Apple not to get rid of gallery?
    Thanks in Advance!

    First question, you would have to re-publish to get the link in a nice "share" button.
    But I think it would be easier to go to your gallery (on the web not iphoto) click on the video/album you want to share and at the top near the center click on "tell a friend"
    I hope this answers the first question.
    Second question: you decide privacy when you publish.
    As far as the petitions:

  • How to Home Share on Itunes

    I have a windows 7 OS and I amd trying to "Home Share" with my wife's windows 7 OS computer......
    I have read a few tutorials and they all describe the steps to achieve Home Sharing. The 2 problems I found when following the tutorials is first they all mention selecting "Advanced" drop down menu. I do not have an "Advanced" menu item???? Second, after I appear to have the home sharing functional, I do not see both of our 2 libraries on the left side panel of the Itunes app as shown in all tutorials. I am able to switch from one computer's Itunes library to the other computer's Itunes library. Because I can't see both libraries at the same time, all the movement of songs between the 2 libraries can't be accomplished as decribed in the tutorials. They all depend on both libraries being visible and accessible at the same time.
    What do I do to get both libraries visible on the left panel in Itunes in the windows environment.
    I have checked and I have the latest Itunes on both machines (11.0.5.5)
    I can use any help......Robert

    You won't see 2 shared libraries.
    You will see 1 (from the other's computer).

  • TS2972 I have done everything here and my home share is not working.  Have any other suggestions??

  • Itunes - home share or not?

    I would appreciate someones help please.
    We have bought our kids an ipod touch each for xmas. We want to set them up on either home share or their own itunes accounts.
    As the kids are quite young, we want to have some control on what, when and how they use the ipods.
    We have a itunes account on iMac which is synced with an ipad, and I dont know if we should home share or give them individual itune accts.
    Can anyone give me the +ve or -ve of either way?
    We still want to give them some flexibility to download using credit but we want to contol the content and allow them to make separate selections.
    Also, as most of the songs that we have downloaded already on the house itune acct was for them we want them to have access to these without having to re-download.
    Any thoughts would be great!
    Thanks
