I am unable to use my library situated on my local network because Ii's locked or I am not authorized to open

I unable to open my IPhoto library on my hard disk (Time Machine); the message is that im not autorized or yhe library is locked.
What can I do to correct this problem?

Are you connecting wirelessly?
A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer. Any ideas?

I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer, although they are in the iTunes library on the computer and will play. It's these songs that won't transfer to the iPod. I have deauthorized and re-authorized the computer but no joy. Any ideas?

Hello there DesertRat71,
I was thinking that some of the songs in your library may have been purchased under a different apple id. You have already done the first thing I would have done by de authorizing and re authorizing. To verify this, highlight one of the songs that will not sync over and use File>Get Info. Here is the help menu link for it if you need it help://bookmark='https://help.apple.com/itunes/mac/11.0/help/index.html?localePa th=English.lproj#itns2937'
In the Summary section there will be an Apple ID entry. If it shows something different than what you are currently using then I recommend signing into the Apple ID it shows and authorizing the computer for that one as well.
All the best,
Sterling

Can you use screen sharing outside of your local network?

I've been poking around with the "screen sharing" in osx Lion. I have a few questions about it.
Firstly, is the built-in screen sharing only accessible through the finder?
Also, is it only available on local networks? I've gotten it to work on two computers on the same network. But, can I use in the built-in screen sharing to look at my work iMac while I'm at home on my Macbook? Or would I need a full VPN client to do this? (Although isn't there built-in VPN compatibility in Lion?)
Thanks!

Unable to connect to a computer in the local network

I've set up an older notebook as a server, connected via WiFi, will be called "server" in this text. Then I have my normal work notebook, called "notebook" in this text.
Both the server and the notebook are connected to the router. The server has additionally a no-ip.org domain.
server ip: 192.168.1.14, notebook ip: 192.168.1.15, router ip: 192.168.1.1
Now just after rebooting and after resetting the wifi connection, I can ping and ssh the server from the notebook.
After some time though something strange happens...
I can't connect to the server from my notebook, neither through the mDNS address nor through 192.168.1.14, all I get is "ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.14 port 22: No route to host".
But if I ssh to the server from my notebook via the no-ip.org domain, it works perfect.
I can then ping 192.168.1.1 from both the server and the notebook, but I can neither ping 192.168.1.15 from the server nor 192.168.1.14 from the notebook...
They lose each others ARP entries, too.
What might the reason for this strange behaviour be?
Where's the problem? SSH config? Server config? Router config?
What I tried until now:
- Letting the server regularly restart its network connection - it seems to help sometimes, but not "forever". Additionally it's a terrible solution.
- Letting the server regularly restart avahi-daemon: Oddly enough using that both servers have each others mDNS and MAC-Addresses all the time, but still aren't able to connect.
-Letting the server regularly ping the router: Well, that didn't help either. That just works anyway.

The router is a Zyxel NBG-419N. I have access to logs, but I don't think they're too useful.

HT4993 How can I use iPhone 5s sprint, to my local network in Egypt?

I bought two iPhones 5s from eBay USA , and my brother bring it to me ,here in Egypt. I found that is locked to sprint.

Sprint will only unlock it for international use for current Sprint customers in good standing. If you (or your brother) are not a Sprint customer, you can't use it.

Never used airport and cannot connect to local network

hi,
i have an imac G5 and I have neverused the airport feature and am now at a location which has one and I can grab the local network name from the pulldown menu, and it asks for the WEP password, and I give it, and then I get a message that says "error connecting to network" or something like that. I tried moving the aiport to the top of the list and unchecking the other options but still to no avail.
help??

The basic problem with WEP, other than it's no longer considered secure, is that it comes in a variety of "flavors" when it comes to accessing it with a password: password/passphrase, 40/128-ASCII key, or 40/128-bit hex key. In a mixed environment, it's best to use 128-bit hex, which would be a 26 hex character key. The WiFi you're trying to connect to may not be set up this way. What did the host for this WiFi tell you the WEP type is?

Use FaceTime with both users on local network?

I'm trying to use FaceTime with a user on the same local network. It doesn't work. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Completely reboot both phones ... be sure your wifi is linked (on both phone) That's as much as I know ...
I've FaceTimed on the same wifi signal w/out any problems so, it should be just a simple restart.

Unable to use Content Library or its contents

Content Library will not install on left panel, nor can I use "Titles", etc - all grayed out. Have tried importing different formats of movie, playing movie via the View menu, all to no avail so far. Any suggestions?

You cannot do this. All pics synced from your computer to your iphone are in photo library. you will ALWAYS have a photos library. You can access those exact same photos from the albums that you synced, just as a song is in your librayr and the same song can be accessed from a playlist.

I would like to use one library but with multiple ipods, but because they are my kids Ipods, and they each have their own gift cards, I'd like to be able to add money to their "profiles" without them having their own account - what is the best way

So here is my delima - I want one Ipod account - because I only want one library - since we all like the same music - but my kids, who have their own IPODS, have gift cards, who want to be able to keep track of their balance without the other child affecting the balance - meaning - each gift card should be seperate and not totalled to the single account - Beacuse the library is fairly large, having three libraries of large amounts would be a waste. I would also like to restrict their purchased to the gift cards only and not my credit card on file. Does this make sense? Once this is resolved, I'm assuming they would use their own playlists to copy their favorites to each Ipod. Or would I set up an account for each child - which I dont want to do, because I dont want them having access to my Credit Card, and only gift card balances. With multiple accounts, I'm assuming that would also build seperate libraries? We also have multiple computers, but I share the library to those computers -
What is the best way? I'd like to be able to add credit to a specific child (birthdays, etc) without the other child being able to access that credit. For simplicity sake.
We are new to IPODS and lack any MAC skills.
Thoughts?

Not going to happen the way you want it to.
When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.

The akamai servers are used by a lot of web servers to store large files (e.g. images and media files)

Sync an iPod (Mac formatted) with a library on pc via local network

Hi all u supportive people!
I´ve bought an iPod classic 80 and a MacBook w OS 10.5 Leopard, and I have a windows pc as well. My problem is to transfer files from my large iTunes library at my pc to my iTunes at my new MacBook in order to sync my iPod (Mac OS formatted)afterwards. How do I do that??? My computers connects nicely through my wireless network at home. In both iTunes their corresponding libraries are shown. But I´m unable to drag songs from lib to lib. Howcome? Does anyone of u have a suggestion ? I´ve tried (almost) everything.
best regards,
Peter

As I understand it you can only play music from a shared library visible in iTunes, not copy that music to another library or iPod. If you can make a Windows shared folder visible to the Mac however, you can then add those files from their existing network location into the Mac's iTunes library, and then sync with your iPod.

I am trying to open a library book on my nook simple touch, but it says the device is not authorized. However, when plugged in my PC, it says it is authorized.

I used the Adobe Digital handbook to trouble shoot, but it didn't help. I ensured my connection to WiFi was working, it is. I un-authorized, then re-authorized my nook, and it still didn't work.

Moved to Adobe Digital Editions
There is no version of Adobe Digital Editons for the nook that I am aware of. Just Mac or Windows. There may be a version of Bluefire Reader or OverDrive for the Nook as I do not have one I do not know if that is so. There are versions for the Andriod OS.

I am unable to install the newest update for itunes and quicktime because of a bonjour error about path not being located

I have windows 7 and I have been trying to install the newest update for itunes and quicktime but I keep receiving the same Bonjour error. I even tried to do it manually and no luck. I also tried to unistall bonjour but it would not even allow me to unistall it either. No matter what I do I get the same error listed below:
The path C:\users\owner\appdata\local\apple\apple software update\bonjour64.msi cannot be found. verify that you have access to this location and try again or try to find the installation package "bonjour64.msi" in a folder from which you can install the product bonjour.
I would greatly appreciate any help because this appears whether i am trying to install the updates or remove bonjour to reinstall. I am stuck.
Thank You in advance!!!

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on 25 June 2010. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

How do I access and use my main computer over my local network ?

I have a wireless internet connection that currently runs from the outside antenna into the house via ethernet. My internet provider is setting up a second wireless system so that a computer 1/2 mile away can share the connection. I believe they are going to run the signal from my existing antenna into a router that will connect to the ethernet wire to my house and to an access point that will shoot a signal from a second antenna to my computer 1/2 mile away.
I'd like to know the best way to access the computer in my house from the one 1/2 mile away.
I'd like to be able to access and use files on my home computer so that all changes are kept on it. I'd also like to access any e-mail messages that Mail has recieved.
My ISP said that they would have to enable VPN.
I'd like to know if enabling file sharing would be enough, or do I need this Vine program I've read about on this forum, or do I need to set my home computer up as a server, or do I need to do something else ?
I've read about lots of stuff but don't understand any of it very well.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
