Itunes 8.1 no longer able to share files across my network

I run 4 computers in the house and have all my video housed in one central point (a pc). Everything ran great until the new Itunes. Now i am unable to access anything on the PC. any advice? The rest of the computers are mac's and seem to be ok. The PC library shows up but when you click on it it just disappears. And just to beat the unhelpful to the punch. Yes I could just go all apple but I need my pc box for some applications. Any advice would be great.
It used to "just work" but I fear that era is over and done.

I had the same problem. I was first getting an error on my PC about the library being created with a newer version of iTunes. I upgraded my PC to 8.1 and am now receiving the following error when trying to open up the shared library:
"The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (13005)."

How to share files across my network from Belkin N

I have a belkin N+ router that you cant plug a USB hard drive or a flash drive into to share the files across the network. It shows my router as a device on the network but gives me the same error message every time I try to acess them. How can I set this up from my Mac, what do I need to to do?

You can open Word files in Pages by default without any problem. Select one of the Word files by clicking once on it in Finder. Press cmd-i to Get Info on the file. In the bottom half of the window that opens, is Open with:. Below that click on the drop down box and select Pages.app. Then click on Change All... and confirm the "Are you sure... " warning. Now, all Word files will open in Pages.

No longer able to attach files

I received a note from 2 separate users today stating they aren't able to upload files to our wiki server anymore. When they try the receive the error of: The file you selected is too large (maximum file size is %i Bytes)
I logged into the server and under the settings my maximum attachment size has changed to 0 MB. I change it to 300MB and hit save, and it reverts to 0 again.
I then checked the /etc/wikid/wikid.conf and the maxAttatchmentSize key is set to 314572800... but i still am not able to upload any files.
Any ideas why I can't make the changes to the max file size stick in the gui? and why can't we upload files no matter what the setting in the wikid.conf file is set to?
Please help,
thanks,
neil

There was a discussion posted on this a while back:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1545970&start=0&tstart=0
I get this problem on my PPC, but not my Intel machine. Instead of using Server Admin, best to set this value (maxAttachmentSize) in the /etc/wikid/wikid.conf file. The value in Server Admin will still show '0', but I was still able to attach files up to the size I specified in the wikid.conf file.

How do i share files through a network?

i got the internet through a router but cannot share files why?

On your Macs, open the Sharing preference pane and enable File Sharing. Now you should be able to see this Mac from other Macs. Repeat this for every Mac that you want to be visible on the network.

Best way to share files across computers

I just installed the newest OS X MTLION server. What's the best protocall to share files?

"Didn't work" isn't a problem statement folks here can particularly help with, beyond offering our sympathies. What is helpful toward getting you to your goals are the particular problems you're facing are your general requirements, and specific details of commands tried and error messages and diagnostics you've encountered. For better or worse, sharing files is something that both OS X and OS X Server do well, and via a variety of protocols.
As an example of the sorts of details that can be useful here, the particular volume of data involved is helpful as "large" means something very different to different folks. The amount of storage and how much it's churning — how often those photos are being added or searched, and how large the photos are, and how many photos are likely to be present in the environment over the years — determines the size of the RAID array(s) necessary initially and over time, as well as helping determine the likely network bandwidth necessary to shuffle the data around should you want or need cloud (off-site) storage for the data, etc.
Based on what you've provided, the "antique" or "classic" solution would be a manually-maintained file server, probably running AFP given you have OS X systems, and either connected by 802.11n (preferably) 5 GHz or (better) gigabit Ethernet. Larger volumes of data generally mean faster links are needed. This approach is "antique" or "classic" in that you deal with individual files and directories and related baggage. Manually.
In a somewhat more modern approach, you'd have a photo storage database package — a content management system for photos — that deals with uploading and indexing and peeking at Exif and related data — and that deals with backups and related processing automatically. I don't know if such a package exists, but I'd expect it does.
The customized version of this photo storage — this is a potentially much larger investment on your part, either to write or to have custom built for you, but resulting in a solution for your particular requirements — might involve acquiring development tools such as the FileMaker Pro package and rolling your own storage and retrieval system. Basically, building your own custom photography database and data management, and using FileMaker or some other database for backups and related processing.
Better still, a package including billing and related administrivia, etc. The tedious stuff.
If you're just looking at copying files around for now, then you probably don't have a whole lot of them. As you do get more photos, then you're going to be spending more time collating and managing the quantities of data and related baggage. Sooner or later, you'll be looking to automate all of this stuff, and you'll then be looking to move into something that allows you to spend time taking and presumably selling photos, and less time dealing with "files" and "servers"...
As another potential option for learning about some options, see if your Apple Store has some folks that deal with local businesses, and have a chat with them.
Ok, enough of the blue-sky photography-database-management stuff.
As for copying files around — files containing, well, whatever — that works nicely on both OS X and OS X Server, and some details on exactly what happened when it "didn't work" would be the best approach forward.
There's a near-infinite number of reasons why computers can fail to perform the desired task, unfortunately.
Permissions can certainly be a factor in file access and file-storage problems.
FWIW, servers are comparatively more effort to set up, particularly if you're using distributed authentication such as that provided by Open Directory (see Workgroup Manager (WGM) tool) and such. As for resolving the file access and file sharing problems, some details from the server logs, the file settings and the protection settings tested, etc., will be helpful here in resolving whatever happened.
In general and from experience here in the communities with folks that are experiencing their first server management, you need to get your IP network working, and particularly your local network DNS configured and working. Weirdness with various services is a common result of network problems and particularly DNS problems. If (when) the DNS configuration is skipped — as happens far too often — and you later realize it's necessary and start to get DNS working, that tends to get various services, well, confused. Best to start out with working DNS when you're dealing with a server. Here's a long-winded write-up on OS X Server DNS services, and which applies to 10.8 server once you click the Advanced settings stuff in the DNS setup in 10.8 Server.app tool.
Oh, and please don't use .local as your DNS domain. That causes different-weird.
Welcome to the Apple communities, and apologies on the wall of text.

How can I get Macs and PCs to share files on same network?

I have a 2009 iMac running Mavericks and a Macbook Pro retina also on Mavericks. I also have a desktop running Windows 7 Pro and a laptop on Windows 8.1. I have a cable modem (Comcast) with multiple ethernet jacks and a WIFI modem. The Macs see each other on the network but the PCs don't always see each other and do not see the Macs. Can someone run me thru the basics on networking so I can share files? Thank you.
Mark

Arthur,
Thanks for the link. It is a good starting point. Part of my problem is that I do not understand file sharing protocols on the PC side. The Mac sharing "just works." I keep getting issues with permissions, or, on some days, the PC just does not show up on my finder. Let me take a look at the link and try some things and I will report back.

Can someone help? Trying to share folders across my network-.

New to Mac after years of Windows use. I like to share my media across my network and no matter what I try I can't get my media players to recognize my Mac. This is what I have done so far. On the Mac I went to system preferences>sharing>I tick the "file sharing" window. I then drag my shared folder titled TV Shows and drop this folder into the shared folders pane> next, I see to the right users of this Mac. Here I see my name, system group, and everyone. I have set all privelages to read/write and highlight my name. Above this field I click options and click Share folders using SMB and directly below my name is checked. I also manually entered the mac ip address with the folder TV Shows in the source window of media player and still nothing. Just top check I restablished connection with my old W7PC and immediately all shares where visible.
Hopefully someone can help. FWIW... I also highlighted the folder TV Shows and clicked Get Info to ensure sharing was set and it is.
Thank you!

ITunes 7 Help: No longer able to import new songs onto iPod

Hello, I'm experiencing a bad problem that is completely preventing me from adding new songs to my iPod.
This problem started when I got the new iTunes 7. Whenever I connect my iPod and drag and drop the songs, it would appear as if iTunes is importing them in what I call the "status box" at the top, however when it is done and I look on the song list, the songs are not there. I can also confirm that the importing failed when I see that the memory is dropping on my iPod but then instantly rises back up.
What do I do?

Where can I download the latest version of iTunes 6?
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes605forwindows.html
As noted by some others, a working flow appears to be:
1) remove 7 using the control panel add/remove programs [some also report removing the new version of quicktime that came with 7 -- I did].
2) find the file 'iTunes Library {dateyou_loaded7}.itl' [usually in 'My Documents/My Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes Libraryes'], copy it up one directory level, and re-name it 'iTunes Library.itl'.
3) download and install the above version 605.
I had already installed the gen5 firmware upgrade that came with 7, and it seems to work fine with version 6, with no need to 'downgrade' the firmware.
Your mileage may vary.

Windows NTFS network drive no longer able to edit files in Osx 10.9

In the OSX 10.8x and before, the network drive hosted by Windows 2008 server in our .local domain was able to be modified by my imac under a local user account with the same user name without any problem. The only issue was not able to join the AD due to the existing .local domain setup. Upon upgrading to OSX 10.9 today, the network drive still connect properly, and the files on the share drive is still able to be opened, read, copied and deleted as before. However, any attempt to save the changes to the opened file display an error message saying that it is been locked and I have no privilege to modify the file. The funny thing is now that the mac computer is able to join the windows AD without problem, although under the network account, the same problem exited. Something has to do with the SMB right/ share has been changed in this release. Anyhelp on how I may resolve this problem?

I'm hoping you or someone can solve this. We're using Tuxera to add SMB NTFS write capabilities to Mavericks and it works great for everything ... except for iWork 2013. iWork 09 still reads and writes perfectly, as does every other app I have on my Mac.
At this point, I fear using iWork 2013 in a mixed Windows/OSX environment is dead if your server is NTFS. It's another quiver in Microsoft's argument that iWork is for children only. Despite all the griping about deprecated functions in the new iWork, there's no show stoppers as far as I'm concerned, and I use Pages, Keynote and Numbers in serious ways daily.

I am no longer able to load files to my iPOD except "from the iCloud: - ???

I can no longer transfer my files from iTunes to my iPOD, except "from the iCloud." ?????

I feel pretty stupid about this. I had recently reset this iPOD and had only added Audible.com files, BUT had forgotten to re-register the device with Audible. Thanks anyway.

No longer able to print due to new network provider. HP Deskjet 3050 J610a, Windows Surface RT.

4 months without a printer and i am supposed to be running a small business, please help.
Change of internet provider & i can no longer print using usb or wireless.
Print report states network offline; no activity connection, url 0.0.0.0; admin password not set.
I have run diagnosis and fixing tests.
I have tried pressing the push button on printer whilst pressing the WPS on modem.
I am unable to add modem via Control Panel having put my phone code in.
I have the HPSoftware on the cd but my CD\DVD external drive is not compatible with this pc/tablet.
I can't download the software as it states it is not compatible with windows surface RT
I have tried everything with and without the usb lead
I may have uninstalled software so i checked to see list of installed programs and apparently i don't have any programmes installed on this pc (surely not)!
I have been trying to find where i can change/add connectivity settings to maybe enter the PIN number of the printer but am unable to find how.

I checked the HP web site here. http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Deskjet-3050-All-in-One-Printer-series---J610/4066450/model/4... And indeed I find no drivers for Windows Surface RT. You will have to connect up a 'regular' windows computer to print.
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos Thumbs Up to the right in the post.
If my post resolved your problem, please mark it as an Accepted Solution ...
