ITunes 10/Homesharing not working between my Mac and Windows computers

Can see my three libraries but cannot drag and drop between the Mac iTunes and my two Windows iTunes libraries. Windows libraries can drag and drop between each other. Have tried to turn homesharing on and off. Have deauthorirized and authorized again also. Please help.

I'm having similar problems too and have been scouring the net for the past few hours with no luck in finding a solution. Right now on my home network I have 3 machines that have iTunes installed (all the latest version), my MacBook Pro running 10.6.3, my wife's Mac Mini running 10.6.4, and our HTPC running Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit. My MacBook Pro and PC have no problem using Home Sharing but the Mac Mini refuses to co-operate. The only way I can get it to see any other libraries, or for it to share it's own library, is to turn on network sharing. This works, but it isn't as nice as Home Sharing (when Home Sharing works that is :P ) I've followed all the instructions listed on Apple's site to enable Home Sharing on all the machines. Obviously I've done something right as the MBP and PC talk fine. The only thing I can think of is that it has something to do with 10.6.4. If anyone has any suggestions I am certainly open to hearing them.

SSL does not work between OS 390 and windows.

I am repeatedly getting the following error.
handshake_failure (no cipher suites in common)
This happens only between MVS and other platforms.
I believe it is because of the different character encodings between the two. Can somebody suggest me a solution to this?
Please help...

Hi Mohan,
When you have DSA-based certificates you may face this type of error "no cipher suites in common".
As by default certificates created with keytool use DSA public keys. To interact with IE or Navigator, you should create certificates that use RSA-based keys. TO do this you need to specify the -leyalg RSA option when using keytool. For example:
keytool -genkey -alias duke -keystore testkeys -keyalg rsa
Hope this will help you.

How do I make my FireWire/USB Drive work on a Mac and windows computers

I have an Iomega Fire wire/USB 2.0 Potable hard drive I know that to use the hard drive on Windows the hard drive must be set for both Windows and Mac I forgot where to go on my Mac to do this. Its been a while since I had to do this thanks.

The drive must be formatted as MS-DOS for it to be seen natively by a windows machine. The problem with this is you are limited to a 2gb file size limit - which can be a real problem with video files.
There is a PC program called MacDrive that will enable a windows machine to see and access Mac formatted drives. Mac formatted drives do not have the file size limit.
Good luck,

Was it just this one time? Could be that you, or your mom, were experiencing network problems. Try again at a later time.

My icalendar is not syncing between my mac and iphone

My icalendar is not syncing between my mac and iphone. Everything for icalendar and icloud is turned on for all devices. PLEASE HELP

Settings>icloud. Assuming you have already set up the connection to icloud (ID, password), then turn on Calendars on that screen.
If they don't appear, then log into icloud.com using a computer's browser and look at the calendars page. If empty, then you are not syncing calendars from your device to icloud. If there, then be sure Calendars is turned on in Settings>iCloud or System Preferences>iCloud.

I have an external drive - WD My Passport FOR MAC. I want to format it to work on both mac and windows. Which format do you think I should use? Will either one cause damage to the files on the hard drive?

I have an external hard drive - WD My Passport FOR MAC. I want to format it to work on both mac and windows. I also want to be able to connect it to my TV and watch movies.
I read up and I think I am supposed to use exFAT or FAT32? I also saw MS-DOS. Which format should I should use? Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
My little memory stick uses MS-DOS and it works on both mac and windows.
Please can you just tell me a little about each and suggest which one to use.
I know how to change it once you tell me so don't waste your time writing about changing it.

Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
WARNING: FORMATTING A DRIVE ERASES IT COMPLETELY !!
If you need to carry large files (e.g., larger than about 4GB) back and forth, you may need ExFAT. Otherwise MS-DOS works for smaller files.
The Mac can Read, but not write Windows New Technology File System (NTFS) without an add-on program such as Paragon NTFS.

Did Mountain Lion break calendar and note sync between the Mac and iPhone?

When I was running Lion, my calendars and notes synced properly between my Mac and iPhone (with notes going into Mail.app). After upgrading to Mountain Lion, the notes on my Mac were moved into Notes.app and my calendars appeared to be unharmed. I've recently noticed that neither my calendars nor my notes are syncing between my Mac and iPhone.
I use iTunes to sync my data (either via USB or WiFi) and have no interest in moving to iCloud. I have tried the suggestion of enabling iCloud sync on my iPhone, then disabling, as well as telling iTunes to overwrite the calendar data on my iPhone. Neither of these approaches has solved my sync problem.

I found a solution to my problem. Hopefully it helps someone else too.
I deleted the following file and folder:
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Sync Changes/
When I synced my iPhone, I was presented with several sync conflicts to resolve. I resolved them and applied the changes immediately. Now my Mac and iPhone are in sync and I've confirmed that changes are syncing from my Mac to my iPhone (I'll confirm that it works the other direction tomorrow when I can look at my calendar at work).
This is the thread that helped me:

AirDrop not working between MacBook Pro and iPad/iPhone 5

AirDrop isn't working with new operating system between iOS devices and MacBook Pro. Not sure what to do now. There are no options below on my AirDrop that can select between older Macs and iOS devices

First change airdrop setting from contacts to anyone for testing.
The default level is that contacts only. That means your iPhone contact app has to have the apple id that your iPad currently use, to show the iPad in airdrop of the iPhone.
If above is not your problem, try logout your iCloud account, in Settings-iCloud, then login again. Turn off your iOS devices and re-open it. This can fix problems potentially in iCloud account. My iPhone 5 has that potential problem in iCloud account which asks me many times a day to re-entery my apple id's password, which leads to contacts syncing, which affects airdrop's contact setting, I think.

How come a USB will work with both Mac and Windows (as in that there are already files from Windows and Mac can still read and write onto it) but a external Hard Drive won't (as in there are files from Windows on there but Mac can read but not write)?

I have a Seagate Drive that I'm hoping to copy some movies from my Mac onto (because it only has a 512 SSD and I'd rather keep that empty and handy for more readily needed files) but it won't work. It shows up as a drive when connected (with the orange USB drive icon popping up) and is appropirately labeled "FreeAgent Drive", but when I try to copy files onto it it won't work. There are already windows files on there, such as some windows backups and lot's and lot's of pictures and videos. However, I have several USBs which already have windows files on them (namely movies, music, and other stuff) and copying and stuff works fine. Why won't it work with this hard drive and would work with USBs? Please help me out here guys, I am not experienced with Hard disks and formatting and stuff like that. 10 points for whoever helps me out the most. Thanks.

We will need to reformat your EXT, but it will then work on both Mac and Win
Connect the drive to your Mac, open disk utility
Go to the partiton tab and select '1' ... format should be ExFAT ... in options select MBR
Format the drive
It should now work on both OSs; report back

I have partitioned my time capsule, but I can't get it to work as a Time Machine back up and permanent media server for both mac and PC. What format do I need to partition the drive to so that it works for both mac and windows and so that it will be visab

I have partitioned my time capsule, as I want part of it to act as a media server for both mac and windows. However I don't know what format that I need to partition it to. I also can't make it a permanently accesible drive. I want to restore the drive to the original format (which I don't know) and start again and re-partition the drive in a format that can be used for media by both mac and PC and for time machine back-ups and make the media part of it permanetly accesible so I can add and acccess my files.
Thanks

You are mixing up a couple of things here.
The TC drive cannot be partitioned without removing it.. did you do that?
If you partition it you must use a Mac disk utility and use the HFS+ ie standard Mac format. And GUID partition table not windows type.
You can select erase disk in the airport utility.. that will take the disk back to original format. No partitions. TC is deliberately not partitioned as it is not a media server.. it is a backup device for TM. Over time .. the disk will be filled with TM backups so you have a long history of file changes to your computer.
There is no media server in the TC.. it is merely disk storage.. you can serve files from it to a media device.. but the TC itself is dumb as dumb.
Now the actual format of the drive is irrelevant to the PC.. The TC offers SMB file services to the network. You can copy files to and from the TC as if it was a local disk without caring one iota about the format. The TC handles that .. it is not a local disk .. it is a network drive.
Although you cannot partition the TC. you can still copy files to it.. this does have implications for TM.. but as long as there is plenty of free space should not be a major issue.
You can create a disk image via the disk utility in a Mac.. and as stated you can create partitions if you do it on a Mac with the disk directly connected which means breaking warranty if any exists on the TC.

Mail in Mavericks not working between two macs.

Hello all
I have a 2012 iMac as well as a 2009 MacBook Pro. I am running Mavericks on both machines. I'm having issues with my exchange e-mail contacts and calendar, syncing between the two devices. I will get it to work on one device or the other but not both at the same time. More specifically in mail when it is working on one computer and I go to check my mail on the other it asks me to put in my password for that e-mail account. Every time I do this it does not work and it always returns an error. If I go to delete an account on either computer it tells me the account is linked to "Internet account" under settings for the computer. When I delete the exchange account from "Internet account" it warns me that it will delete the account off of both macs. When I re-add the exchange account mail, contacts and calander all work for whichever computer I add it on. But the other computer will only show calander or contacts not all three.
Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong or have a solution? This is very frustrating and I cant seem to find a solution.

Hi,
Those last two I do not have on my iMac that is working and part of the issue I have in testing is I don't have a second Mac that will run Yosemite.
Realistically it could be any of the ones that contain com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.private.alloy.***.plist
The plain SMS.plist only states it has been started up not what the Mac is linked to.
Unfortunately nothing is standing out as the Specific one for me at the moment.

Synchro does not work between Ipad, Iphone and Mac

Good evening,
I have an IMAC, iPhone 5s and an Ipad all with the last IOS version and synchro does not work at all.
My iCloud address is not with iCloud but with hotmail.
I dod not get any suitable answer from the retailers in Budapest.
Does anybody have an idea? Thank you.
Greg

good evening!
i switch on in iCloud the calendars on both Iphone and Ipad/mac of course but nothing happened.
Can it be because my iCloud address is with hotmail?

How do I make iCloud work between my Mac and my iPhone as suggested in the video's on Apple's website ?

I'm trying to share a set of Numbers projects between my MacBook and my iPhone.
I notice that iWork.com does NOT do what I am expecting from the Apple Video's : it only allows me to consult documents through Safari, but not to open one directly from iCloud.com in the appropriate app for editing ...
Through file sharing in iTunes it seems to work for one of the projects ... but another project which has multiple tabs and rather long tables doesn't open on my iPhone due to "unknown error" ...
Even then, the iTunes file sharing process can hardly be called seemless, and in no way even approaches what is suggested in the video's :
The video's suggest that when working on a file on one device, then picking up another device the file will show the changes ...
In reality here's what I have to do to make a change on the file on my Mac, share it with the iPhone, then change something on the iPhone and share it back with my Mac :
1. save the changes to the document
2. add the document to iTunes file sharing
3. sync my iPhone
4. open Numbers on my iPhone
5. add the document from iTunes
6. open it
7. make a change
8. sync the iPhone
9. choose "save as ..." in iTunes to overwrite the copy on my Mac
10. open the document in Numbers on the Mac
Guess what ... when making a new change, I have to go back in iTunes, delete the link to the document and add the document again in order to be able to share the change ...
I would expect the syncing with iTunes to at least take care of the file updating on the respective copies on Mac and iOS device ... apparently not so.
Anyone knows how to really make Documents In The Cloud work ?

Oops, I forgot a step between 7 and 8 ... before syncing the iPhone I need to explicitly send the document back to iTunes on the iPhone, or the changes won't come over at all ...
and then one more thing ... Numbers on iOS does NOT recognize a number of key features of the OSX app, such as conditional formatting ... so after editing my document on iOS and syncing it back to OSX on my Mac, all of those settings are lost (no more conditional formatting, have to do it all over again)
What am I doing wrong ?
