HT3819 Permanently keep files on iPod & other computers via Home Share?

I just got the new iPod Touch iOS6 and I need it to synch with 2 computers (iMac and PC) and my old iPod touch.
I have my a home share set up on my iMac (iTunes 9.2) which has all my purchases over the last 6 years and its synched with my iPod Touch iOS4.
My iMac music library shows up on my Windows iTunes (10.5) via Home Share, but not the movies or TV shows. How do I get all the files (music, movies, tv shows) permanently over to the PC?
What's the easiest way?

I can see other accounts on home share and play the songs, but not drag them to my account. Home share is on "on" on both accounts and both computers are authorized. What can I do to copy the song from account to account?

Keeping files on iPod but not Mac

Hello! Relatively new to Apple products so please be gentle!
Have got all my albums, dvd's etc on my Macbook AND my iPod Classic but now want to delete some of the mp4's etc off my Macbook to help on storage size but keep on iPod. How do I do this? When I delete a file off Macbook it then deletes off iPod. Is there something I can do to keep stuff on iPod but not have on Macbook using up memory?
Thanks

If you want to delete songs from iTunes and keep them on the iPod you need to change the update option of your iPod to "manually manage music and videos". Your iPod will not sync with iTunes in this mode so it can have different content, you can get details here:
Managing content manually on iPod
iPod 101: Fill 'er Up
One major word of caution. If you delete songs or videos from your computer and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem. You should consider investing in an additional internal or external hard drive to store/back up your music. Alternatively at the very least back up anything you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD: How to back up your media in iTunes
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

Cannot Connect to other computers on home network

First let me say I am a new MAC owner. I have only ever used Windows PCs. I just got my Macbook today and installed SL 10.6.2. I can connect successfully to the internet and the networked printer on my home network. I cannot however, see or connect to any other computers on the home network. We have 2 other machines, one is running Vista and the other is XP. They can see and connect successfully to my Mac. I have read through a number of threads, but have not seen anything that I understand or can find on my laptop. Can someone please let me know what I need to do to see and access the windows computers.

Try using Finder > Go > Connect to Server > smb://ipaddress. If you can connect this way, then good. I'll have more to say later. Just try to get this working for now.
Before trying to connect:
On the XP machine.
1. Right-click on a folder to share (e.g., My Documents), chose Sharing, and select both Sharing Options.
2. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).
See how this part goes. I can't remember where some things are in XP, but you may have to enable Network Discovery somewhere.
On the Vista machine.
1. Go > Computer > Users > User; right click on the User folder, and choose the settings that give Everyone—both Read/Write permissions.
2. Go Control Panel > Network and Sharing Options > Turn on network discovery, Turn on file and printer sharing, Turn off public folder sharing , and Turn off password protected sharing (unless sharing won’t occur without turning it on).
2. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).
See how this part goes too. I can't remember some of the detail in Vista.
On the Sno machine,
1. Go System Preferences > Sharing > Check File sharing > Go Options > Enable SMB sharing.
2. Go System Preferences > Network > Select Airport or Ethernet depending on what you are going to be using. I am assuming you will be using wireless below. Let me know if not true.
3. Having selected Airport, select ask to join new networks and show Airport status in menu bar.
4. Click advanced > click remember networks this computer has joined > Click Wins > Enter the ip address of your Win7 machine in the WINS server box > Enter the Win7's workgroup name in the workbook box unless it already is there (look in the drop down menu too). In all likelihood the name is workgroup, but check on the Win7 machine.
5. Restart

Want to be able to mount file systems in my computers at home

Hi,
I have 2 apple computers , a mac pro and an ibook and I want to be able to mount the file system from one to the other to transfer files. What software do I need to do this?
I suppose I could use an FTP server just to transfer files is there one for free?
Or if I actually want to mount the file system , what do I need?
thanks

As sig said, firewire is a really good way to do this. It is one of the easiest and fastest and most painless ways to do this.
If it is not so convenient for you to tether up one computer to the other via firewire, if the computers are on the same home network, enable personal file sharing (Sys Prefs > Sharing > Services) in at least one of them. Then you should see it on the other computer when you do ⇧⌘k in the Finder. Double-click on it and its icon should mount on your desktop. Open it, then drag and drop the files. If on the same home network and you enable ftp or remote login (Sys Prefs > Sharing > Services again), you can do it from the command line, no extra software required.
If they are not on the same network, e.g., one is at work and the other is at home, this can still be done fairly easily and fairly painlessly in a hack-proof manner by tunneling your file sharing port through secure shell. If you want to do it that way, that's a bit more involved to initially set up, but really not difficult to do. Post back if you want help doing that.

No it is not a feature of home sharing on an iDevice. That will not work. You have to sync the songs to the devices.

Why can't I access any files on the other computers

I am currently having trouble retrieving files from other local computers within my area that have Airport cards installed on them (as well as this computer I am currently using, which has the base). While it shows that I have a good connection between the computers on the network, I am unable to access any files from said computers externally, only the local servers show up. Is there any way to remedy this?

Problems with buttons and links at the top of the page not working can be caused by an extension like the Yahoo! Toolbar or a Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Keep files on iPod when syncing to new hard drive?

Hi - I just bought a new external hard drive onto which I moved my iTunes files, along with playlists etc. I now want to synch my iPod to the new drive, with the updated library and corresponding playlists, but would prefer not to have to erase the iPod drive clean only to re-load all 50 GB of files again, as my transfer speeds are slow.
Does anyone know of ways to get around this? My finger is paused on the "erase and sync" option hoping for a quicker fix.
Thanks

Can I sync my ipod with multiple computers using home share?

Once I homeshare all my computers, can I sync my ipod with any of them? Or do I always have to sync using the same computer.

What kind of iPod do you have?
For most iPods you can click Manually manage music on the summary page in iTunes. Check out Apple's document -> Using iPad or iPod with multiple computers.
