How Can I play iTunes Library from Remote Disc without importing?

I have my iTunes library copied to an external HD. I want to play it through my iTunes account on my MacBook Air, but don't have the room to import it all. Is there a setting to have iTunes play from a remote disc without importing the tunes to the computer itself?

By the way, the alternative (esp if you don't have a library file on the external disk) is to add the external drive's media files to your laptop's iTunes library on your local hard disk. The downside is that (a) if the external disk is unavailable when you start iTunes, you'll see next to the music in iTunes (telling you that the files are unavailable); and (b) as you manage music on that external disk, you'll have to manually update iTunes on the other computer.
Probably better to keep the library file on the external disk if that external disk ever is going to be disconnected from the the machine or connected to another machine. But if you'd like guidance for keeping the library file on your laptop and media files on the external disk, let us know.

Booting from remote disc on MBA that won't shut down or restart?

Hi all,
I am trying to do an archive and install on my partner's MBA because, even after running through all the possible options with Applecare, it won't shut down or restart. I have already reinstalled the software on another machine that was having the same problem and the issue has been resolved.
My problem is, however, in trying to boot the MBA off a remote disc. I can, of course, access the Mac OSX install disc remotely from the MBA in another optical drive, but when I begin the install process and it wants to restart the MBA, the MBA hangs up and doesn't restart (because that was it's problem in the first place).
The MBA and the Mac running the install disc are both connected via ethernet through my Airport hub. As you can't simply hold the C key during startup with the MBA, I was wondering if there is any way to get the MBA to find the remote disc on start up?
Thanks.

How did you transfer your "settings"?
If you used the Migration Assistant you are obviously transferring something that is causing an issue. Erase and reinstall Mac OS X and then manually transfer your documents to your MacBook.

Extracting DVD Player 4 installer from Panther discs

Bugger me, I can't seem to remember the name of the programme that is used to extract the specific installation programmes from the Panther discs. I'm trying to get DVD Player 4 off of the installer (Interactual Player freezes too much.)
Apple's Support site does not list a download of DVD Player that is compatible with Panther, but oddly enough lists a player compatible with Jaguar and Tiger.

Justin:I wonder why I can't download it from the site...I have no idea why not. However, you can pick it off the install CD, thanks to Pacifist.
Good luck.

Installation from media disc

I am trying to install CS6 on a Windows system that has the proper requirements. During the install process after I have entered the serial number, my Adobe ID and picked a place to install all of the CS6 components, it starts to install gets to 2% then asks me to insert disc. The disc is already in the drive and the drive works. I reinserted the disc and hit continue and nothing happens. What is causing this or how can I get past it?
Thanks

Ztree11 it is likely your current copy of the installation files have become damaged thus prompting you to insert a disc. I would recommend downloading a fresh copy of the installation files from Other downloads.

Installation from my discs in macbook pro?

I purchased macbook pro retina. I had Logic Pro 9 in my old macbook pro, but now i have not dvd reader to install my old discs. How can I manage to install Logic Pro in my new laptop without paying again?

Another option is to use a computer with an optical drive and clone the discs to USB flash drives.

Patch cluster 3Q2012 - can I install it from remote connection?

Hi,
The notes on installation of Solaris 10 patch bundle mention "you may be required to execute some steps in single user mode".
Does anyone has experience of 3Q2012 bundle installation from remote session (telnet)?
I ask, because, I need to handle remote server, that is very problematic to gain direct access in customer premises
Thanks in advance,
Yuri Eisenstadt

Single User mode has capabilities that are even more limited than run level 1.
Among those limitations are -- no network connectivity and no logins for users other than root.
See the following page in the Solaris 10 System Administration Guide :
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26505_01/html/E29492/hbrunlevels-13026.html#hbrunlevels-ix937
which can be found here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26505_01/index.html
Therefore I think your task for patching will require someone to be at the box while you do that maintenance.

Remote disc installation of CS3 fails on disc 2 of 2

I'm using a Mac Book Pro to install Adobe Creative Suite 3 - Web Premium, onto my Macbook Air, using the remote disc feature in Mac OSX.
The first installation disc (applications) installs and then it asks for the second disc (content) to be loaded - I insert the disc and wait a few seconds before clicking OK to continue but the message won’t go away.
Eventually I have to press Cancel and the installation fails. Tried this a few times now and I need to know if this is an Adobe or Mac OSX issue. Would be nice if Adobe could give me a direct download link for the software but they don't appear to support previous versions of CS.

In case you are able to copy contents of disc 2 to your local drive, then try performing a silent install. Or just create a local copy of installer (following Step1 and Step2) and run Setup from there.

INSTALLATION OF SNOW LEOPARD USING REMOTE DISC

Hi
I have a Macbook Air circa 2009 v10.5.8 and have the installation disc for Snow Leopard which I have attempted to install via the optical drive in my Sony Vaio. When I select Remote Disk on my Air, I can see the Snow Leopard Disc and it allows me to accept the Apple terms and proceeds to install but then seems to hang. I then have to restart my Air by using the on/off button and have repeated the process several times to no avail. I can see that the optical drive is working but it stops eventually presumably because it fails to connect to the Air. On the Air I receive a message to the effect that I need to run disc utility to repair a faulty disc but am unsure whether this is correct as Snow Leopard is a new disc which appears undamaged. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. By the way I am using the same wireless network for both computers.
Thanks
Neil

It would help with more information. Do both computers have Firewire ports? If so, then connect the computer without a DVD drive to the other computer using a Firewire cable. Boot the computer without a DVD drive into Target Disk Mode then after you see the TDM logo boot the other computer using the Snow Leopard DVD. You can install to the computer without a DVD drive by selecting its hard drive as the target destination.
You can only use Remote Disc if you have the software installed. If you have the software then you should find documentation along with it. You can download it from support.apple.com/downloads/.

Extract Remote Disc Files From Install Disk

Can the remote disk install files be extracted (maybe the wrong word) from the install disk or be downloaded from somewhere so that I can put them onto a USB drive instead of carrying around my Macbook Air install disks? I'd rather not carrying around my original disks.
I tried to create a disk image of them, that worked out fine, but couldn't get them to fit onto the 4.7 gig DVD's that I have....
TIA for any and all help.
JW

I know I sound Lazy but there must be someplace to Download the installs for the Remote Disc online somewhere? If not can someone please post it somewhere. It makes no sense to have to carry a DVD around. Pretty Please?

HT5422 Can I install an earlier version of the Apple Remote Desktop from a disc on OSX 10.7.5?

I cannot install an earlier version of the Apple Remote Desktop from a disc on my OSX 10.7.5 It says that the installation requires an earlier OSX version.
I cannot upgrade with the RemoteDesktopAdmin361 available on line, since no Remote Desktop application exists. Any suggestions?

Assuming your disk is for ARD 3.x, try this:
• Insert your ARD CD
• Open in Finder
• Right click on the Remote Desktop.mpkg and show contents
• Navigate to contents/installers
• Drag the RemoteDesktopAdmin.pkg file onto the workstation and install
• Run Software Update
• Upgrade to the latest version of the admin application before attempting to launch the app
Regards.

Remote Disc Can't recognize Blank disc, but it does recognize other discs. I am trying to burn something from my itunes on my mac mini to a blank disc on my windows computer. What could be wrong?

Remote Disc Can't recognize Blank disc, but it does recognize other discs. I am trying to burn something from my itunes on my mac mini to a blank disc on my windows computer. What could be wrong?
I can see other discs such as music and stuff so I know I have installed it correctly but how come I can't see the blank disc that I need to burn?

You can't burn discs remotely, you can only read data discs remotely (i.e. you cannot play movie DVDs either).
Either copy the files to the remote computer or get an external drive.

Help! I transferred the data from my old Macbook pro with some success, but now my new Macbook Air contents think they are the remote disc and that the old Mac Pro is the hard drive. What did I do and how do I fix it?

I transferred the data from my old 2006 MacBook Pro 17". Thanks for the help on that. I thought that I was doing it right. Used a backup hard drive and time machine. Problem: Now my new macbook air thinks it is the old machine and that the remote disc is the mb air. Clicks want to take things to mobile me instead of iCloud, old applications launch instead of the new ones. How do I fix the mess I have made? Like I said before, I am a software user and don't really know what I am doing when I start into the guts of the software, but I am able to learn. Thanks for any help.

iTunes- How to move the library to an EHD
After you move the library you need to open iTunes by first depressing the OPTION key then launching iTunes. You will be given a choice of which library to use. This can then be made a permanent change, if you wish, in the Advanced section of iTunes preferences.

Lightroom Remote Disc Installation

I'd like to buy a copy of Lightroom 5 for Mac. I've a retina MacBook Pro (i.e. no disc drive) and an iMac with a disc drive. If I use Remote Disc and put the disc into the iMac to install on the laptop, am I likely to encounter any problems or will it be smooth sailing? I've read a couple of posts about people having trouble with older versions of the Creative Suite and Remote Disc.
Many thanks.

The easiest way would be to download the LR5 trial on the MBP Retina from the Adobe website
http://www.adobe.com/go/trylightroom
Then enter your serial number to license it.
