IBooks sync works on one Mac, not on other

On my iPhone and iPad, my iBooks setup includes some custom collections containing PDF files. After installing Mavericks on my Mac Pro, the Mac version of iBooks immediately acquired all of the custom collections, and they were filled with the correct PDFs. But on my MacBook Pro, the custom collections showed up but none of the PDF content appeared. I can't find any way to force iBooks on the MacBook Pro to sync.
Any ideas? Similar experiences?

I have an even more unique situation.
When iBooks was part of iTunes, I cleverly used the "Genre" popup within the Info panel for each PDF document to create a "category", e.g. Technical Documents, Proposals, Project Names, etc.
In other words, I treated each PDF like I would a song, and created my own categories (rather than an actual genre like Jazz, Rock, etc.), which I could then sort. As a result, in the iPad, my documents were automatically sorted when using the Categories tab. This works great in all the versions of iOS.
Now that iBooks has been separated out as a separate desktop app, I can no longer sync up these files in the same manner.
It seems that I am now forced to create "Collections" for each of these previously created genres!
As a final note, make sure you have the "Sync Collections" switch turned ON in Settings > iBooks on your iPhone or iPad, which will ensure that all your Collections sync up on all devices.

AirTunes works for one Mac, not the other...

Hi all,
I have an AirPort Express that connects to our 2WIRE WiFi network. My mid-2008 MBP running iTunes 9 and OS 10.5.8 connects flawlessly, but I have a mid-2005 iBook G4 that I use as a file server that is now having trouble connecting to the remote speakers. It is also running iTunes 9 and OS 10.5.8, and I encountered the connection troubles right around the time iTunes 9 was released.
Firewall settings are the same on both computers, but is there anything else I should compare between the two machines to see what's allowing the MBP to work while preventing the iBook from working?
Thanks!

For anyone that may run into this problem, I went into the 2WIRE router settings and opened up TCP ports 548-554 on my Airport Express. All is running smoothly now!

Personal Web Sharing Works on One Mac, Not on Other

I can't get Personal Web Sharing to work with my MacBook Pro. It does work with my iMac. Yes, I can turn it on just fine on the MacBook, by means of System Preferences->Sharing, but I can't successfully use the Personal Web http:// link I see there as a URL in my iMac's browser. When I try, it tells me it can't connect to the host, i.e., the MacBook. When I do the same in reverse, from my MacBook browser with my iMac as target (though the local IP address and the short-user-name are of course different), the connection works fine.
I don't think I'm using an incorrect local IP address to try to get to my MacBook. I've checked that. And I do have an index.html file in the appropriate Sites folder on each machine.
I'm using Mac OS Leopard 10.5.8 on both machines.
The problem also shows up on Safari on my iPhone. It can access Personal Web Sharing on the iMac but it can't on the MacBook.
I wonder if it's a Bonjour problem? I don't exactly know if Bonjour is running on the MacBook, or how to tell if it is, or how to activate it if it isn't running.
Or, if it's not Bonjour, what could it be?

Doug,
'sudo apachectl start' asked for my password and seemed to have no complaints after getting it. But it didn't tell me anything, and it didn't make a difference.
After checking out some FAQs at
http://httpd.apache.org/
I tried 'apachectl -k start' and got:
(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
It made no difference whether Personal Web Sharing was on or off in System Preferences when I did that.
I do know that the Apache log file is apparently not there where apachectl expects it. I don't understand the other stuff it said, but it looks like maybe it was trying to use an IP address of 0.0.0.0 instead of 10.0.1.16.
10.0.1.16 is the local IP address of my MacBook.
I tried 'apachectl configtest' and got 'Syntax OK'.
I tried moving index.html to /Library/WebServer/Documents -- no help.
I tried creating a new configuration file in the way you said to try -- no help.
No matter what I try, I get:
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 10.0.1.16.
I'm beginning to wonder if the Apache environment might not need to be reinstalled. But I'm not sure how. I'm running Leopard 10.5.8, but the original install disk I have is 10.5.1. Software Update moved me up from that to 10.5.8 over time. Your further thoughts and advice will be greatly appreciated ...

I have CS6 and CC installed on my mac when I'm using CS6 and use bridge CC activates how can I set this to only work on one and not the other

I have CS6 and CC installed on my mac when I'm using CS6 and use bridge CC activates how can I set this to only work on one and not the other

If you want Bridge CS6 to open when using Photoshop CS6, you must quit Bridge CC.
Then File menu > Browse in Bridge will bring up Bridge CS6.
If Bridge CC is already open, The File > Browse in Bridge for Photoshop CS6 will use Bridge CC and Bridge CS6 will not open.
I hope that's the answer you were looking for.

ITunes 7.0.2 sees shuffle on one Mac, not the other

I have one Mac with several System disks. All at 10.4.8 and iTunes 7.0.2. One system sees the new shuffle and will loads tunes. The other will ask to erase and sync and I agree. Then I choose songs and then apply. One system will go and load up the shuffle (with the proper image of the new shuffle in iTunes). The other (with a generic iPod image in iTunes) will say it cannot update because it cannot find the shuffle! On that problem system drive, I removed iTunes (receipt and helper) and then re-installed iTunes from the dmg. Same problem.
What other files is iTunes using that are corrupt on the problem system drive?
You may ask, why not use the good system? Well, the problem system is my everyday system with all the apps working! This system drive also has all the tunes files. This also has been through many upgrades.
It is time to start over?

The only receipts I have for iPod are the updaters for their firmware and the new reset program.
iPod2005-06-26.pkg
iPod2005-09-06.pkg
iPod2005-09-23.pkg
iPod2005-10-12.pkg
iPod2005-11-17.pkg
iPod2006-01-10.pkg
iPod2006-03-23.pkg
iPod2006-06-28.pkg
iPodshuffleResetUtility.pkg
I still think there is some file that got munged and it is preventing iTunes from working properly. This file is not provided by iTunes, but must be part of the OS.
Here's hoping for a solution

23" works on One but not the Other

I have a Powerbook G4 1.25 GHz running 10.3.9 connected to a similar vintage 23" clear plastic case display with a DVI to ADC adapter connection and it works great.
My husband recently bought a used Powerbook G4 1.67 GHz running 10.4.8. We thought sure that when I was out of town with my computer he could hook up and enjoy the use of my big display, but no luck. It just gives him a blank screen.
Any suggestions as to why that would be? Does his machine require a different adapter? Is it possible his port is just not functioning?
Thanks!
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 23 inch display

I couldn't remember what the Display Preferences had said when we tried this last spring and again in the summer, so tonight we connected it again, and wouldn't you know - it worked just fine. We didn't do anything different, so I have no clue as to why it worked this time but not before. He's thinking about getting his own big display, but didn't want to waste his money if he couldn't get it to work, so now I guess we're shopping for another 23" display - probably a used one. Thanks!

Script works on one site, not the other... why?

Could someone tell me why this prototype-based lightbox seems
to work on one
site but not on the other?
I literally took the exact same .js & css files, copied
them over from one
site to the other, but it's only partially working on the new
site.
http://www.vilverset.com/sample.html
And the original fully-functional one :
http://www.roxanacampagiorni.com/
Been troubleshooting this one for days, and I'm stumped.
Script wants
nothing to do with lightboxing HTML files on the new site.
Only straight
JPGs.

That's what I told a helper friend of mine, but he told me
the POST is done
by the server, not the JS files. That's why, according to
him, he couldn't
tell me what code to change in the .js files.
But here they are, if you would be so kind as to tell me WHAT
to replace
with WHAT so the call is made properly. :-)
http://www.vilverset.com/scripts/control.modal.2.2.3.js
http://www.vilverset.com/scripts/effects.js

Those are the 3 files needed for the script.
Should I be banging on Dreamhost's door to fix something, or
not? Because
the exact same 3 files will render an HTML page just fine
over on
roxanacampagiorni.com.
Which is the guilty party? The script, or the server config?

IPod Works on One Computer; Not on Other...??

iPod worked on both computers. Then something changed. Both run XP Pro; both have 7.1 iTunes. On computer that it does not work on, it does not show up in Device Manager either - no conflict shown, just no recognition that it exists...iTunes iPod diagnostics found it but shows its connection status as being failed. Other USB devices work fine and it used to work fine from the same port. No idea where to go from here...??? Already went through the uninstall/reinstall of iTunes; restoring iPod; etc. No icon down in system tray either that normally shows up telling me a USB device is connected - click to disconnect...

hmmmmm. it might be worth checking on a Windows drive letter confusion on the PC that you're having the grief with. for troubleshooting information, see:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

Gmail account works on one Mac, not on another

I have a late 2009 iMac and an early-model MacBook Air. Both were running the latest Mountain Lion; I updated both to Mavericks, so they are both running OS X 10.9 and Mail 7.0.
Before the upgrade, both Macs had a mail account. (It's the mail service for my ISP, but it's really just Gmail.) Mail worked equally well on both.
After the upgrade, Mail continued to work perfectly on the iMac, but it failed completely on the MBA. I get a warnint triangle next to my Inbox. When I click on it, Connection Doctor tells me that I have a good internet connection, but that it could not connect to either the Gmail SMTP server or the IMAP server.
I've checked every detail of the account settings from Mail preferences; they are identical. I've deleted and recreated the account on the MBA multiple times, from both the Mail preferences accounts tab and the System Preferences Internet Accounts tab. Nothing helps. Mail on the MBA is totally unable to connect to the Gmail servers, no matter what I do.
Here are some of the details:
Account Information:
Enable this account: checked
Account Type: Google IMAP
Description: Tellink IMAP
Email Address: ([email protected] (my ISP))
Full Name: (my name)
Incoming Mail Server: smtp.gmail.com
User Name: (same as my email address)
Password: (my Gmail password)
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): Tellink (Offline)
Use only this server: Checked
TLS Certificate: None
Edit SMTP Server List:
Description: Tellink
Server Name: smtp.gmail.com
In Use By Account: Tellink IMAP
Use custom port: 465
Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Password: (my Gmail password)
Advanced:
IMAP Path Prefix: (empty)
Port: 993
Use SSL: checked
Use IDLE command if the server supports it: checked

This was fixed by the upgrade to 10.9.1.

ITunes wi-fi sync works at home, but not on other wi-fi hotspots. Any suggestions?

I know I've got all the settings correct, since both my phone (4, iOS 6.0) and iPad (first gen, iOS 5.1.1) connect and sync over wi-fi easily at home. But when I'm on campus, and all devices are connected to the same wi-fi connection, my computer does not register either the phone or iPad. I'm thinking it's an issue with setting on the admin side of the wi-fi setup ,so I've contacted the IT people. I thought I'd check here too to see if there's something that I can do about it on my end in the mean time.
Any tips are appreciated.
Cheers

i had this problem at my university. its something to do with firewalling. it doesnt let you do it for this reason. your iphone and mac connect to the wifi on a secure protocol (my bet). its like how bittorrent apps dont work on campus. this is what IT told me anyway

Outgoing server works for one user not for other

Hi,
I just made a second user in Leopard. When logged in as the original user, the outgoing mail server works fine in Mail. When logged in as the new user, the outgoing mail server shows as 'offline' in Mail. In both cases the outgoing server is the same one.
As the new user i can only receive mail and not send any. I am pretty sure the account settings on both mail accounts r identical(Authentication, SSL etc.) (except for user specific identification of course)
Any advice/idea on what is wrong and what i can do to make the outgoing server work for both users?
Thx,
Brick

Yes I am certain the authentication is correct. When trying to send a message out Mail gives a message saying my "SMTP server does not support authentication".
When i open Mail preferences. The outgoing server is indicated as Offline.

Video chat works to one person, not to other

I am on the road w/my iBook G4. I have no trouble establishing a video chat with one person, but can't get it to work when I try to connect to my home machine. My home machine can do a video chat to someone else. it gives me a failed to connect, or the person declined the invitation message. any help?

Hi David,
These are User to User help forums.
There a limited number of Hosts who monitor the content for offensive and posts against the Term and Conditions.
There is some evidence that some information is taken from the forums and made into Knowledge Docs, but it is rare.
From the iChat menu there is a link to the iChat Feedback page and 10.4.7 now includes a log creation that you can send to Apple on certian types of connection failure.
As different modems and routers do actually use different forms of NAT (Network Address Translation) used when people use Port Forwarding, Triggering or DMZ then there can be problems with connection when the devices don't "Play Nicely".
We would ned to know more about the devices involved to comment further

2 Lenovo ideatab A2107A, front facing camera works on one but not the other

i just purchased two of the same lenovo ideatab A2107A from best buy and i noticed that when trying to take a picture on one i was able to zoom in and change to the front facing camera. The other i can get into the camera, but i cannot zoom in nor can i switch to front facing camera (the icon is not even there). the other camera works well, zoom, video and all, the other i cannot zoom and i cannot switch, any thoughts besides factory resetting?

hi catfish197621,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
You can try to:
1. Download the latest updates Over The Air (OTA) to get the latest patches and bug fixes on the OS (go to settings > about tablet > check for system update).
2. Download a camera app utility like Camera Zoom FX to see if you can zoom in and out and switch to the front facing camera.
Hope this helps.

IPod works on one computer not the other

I have all the latest software.
iPod shows up and connects ever since I did factory restore on my laptop.
But my iMac at home still doesn't work with iPod.
what can I do?

a few suggestions...
1. is your laptop also windows or mac? if it is windows that is your problem...you can't sync between two different OS's or paltforms.
2. for some reason i don't think you can sync between two libraries...but maybe you can if they are the same. check the manual if you haven't and let me know cause i'd be interested to see what it says

Xslt mystery. Works in one environment, not the other

Has anyone come across the following?
First, clarification: The environments, though physically different are essentially the same. same os, libs, version of java, application server, etc. The difference is the one in which it works is at my workstation, and where it doesn't is our lab. All the simple explanations have been investigated (no view private files being picked up vs version controlled, library versions, etc).
I don't believe I even need to explain the functionality. Basically:
<xsl:template match="/name1/name2">
works (ie matches the node) at my desk while it doesn't in the lab.
Everything else is the same. The xslt executes in the lab. There are no exceptions. Debug statements verify the xml being parsed is the one being processed. But this template is never invoked, so it falls back to the
<xsl:template match ="@*|node()">
template.
I checked the System.property javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory to see if maybe they had a different implementation than at my workstation, but the value was the same; no value, which means we are both running the default transformer. We are also running the same java (1.5.0_06_b05).
Any ideas of what/where to look? I realize that I haven't given alot of info, but that's because EVERYTHING is the same.

Ok, I found the difference that is causing the xslt not to work. But this just makes it more confusing. The scenario where it DOESN'T work seems as if it should, and the scenario in which id DOES work seems as if it shouldn't!! Is there anyone who might be able to explain the behavior.
First, the xslt's. In both environments they are exactly the same. Both have a default namespace defined: ie xmlns="some uri A"
In Environment 1
There is no default namespace defined in the xml; that is there is no xmlns="any uri". However, there is a prefix defined
xmlns:xis="some uri A"
(note, "some uri A" points to one of our own defined schemas and is the same in both the xslt and xml)
In Environment 2
There is a default namespace defined in the xml exactly as is defined in the xslt.
So, when an xml document comes in that has
<abc>
<def/>
</abc>
And the template is
<xsl:template match="/abc/def">
I would think that environment 1 wouldn't match, because there is no default namespace defined, but the template does define a default namespace, "some uri A" which I think is applied to the /abc/def. But this is the case that works. I'd expect to have to use <xsl:template match="xis:/abc/def">
I'd also think that environment 2 would match, because the xml and xslt both define the same default namespace, so /abc/def means /abc/def, but this is the case where it doesn't work.
Can anyone set me straight on what is going on here? Sorry I don't cut and paste the source, but I can't. It's really this simple. In environment 1, if I remove the xis from the namespace definition in the xml, it "breaks" and works the same as in environment 2.
