ITunes network Share-name ambiguity

I have several client PCs (all WinXP Pro SP3) on a server Domain network. Each client PC runs iTunes.
Because the iTunes network Share-name is the same as the user's PC Login-name, if you use the same Login-name on all the PCs (as I do) there is no way of differentiating their iTunes Libraries when using an enabled app such as iPhone "Remote".
For example, all Libraries are displayed as "roger's Library" on the iPhone "Remote" app. If the Libraries were displayed along with their Server-name, e.g. "SERVERNAME1: roger's Library", "SERVERNAME2: roger's Library" etc then this ambiguity would be resolved.
Does anyone know how I might resolve this and get iTunes to broadcast a fully-qualified Share-name? I need to use the same Login-name on each of the PCs because of email, profile etc considerations.
Thanks
Matt

You want something like this Doug's Apple Script that will work for Windows, it sounds like:

iTunes does a poor job of managing multiple libraries.
Unfortunately, all you can do is contact Apple:

Network share name keeps changing

I have setup my eMac to have the network share name eMac but it keeps changing into +eMac (2)+ does anyone know why?

well I do, but a short while later.
or some weeks or even month later, I can do it again.
this is a problem because I need to connect to it from my server.
the server is a Dell PowerEdge 1650 (I know, old, but it was cheap and it does the trick) which is running Linux Ubuntu Server 9.10 "Karmic Koala", since it's a server I did not install a DE(desktop environment) so I need to use the bash or shell (depending on what I do, since it has both)
how I connect it like this (on the sever):
+mount -t nfs "emac.local:/dev/macintosh HD" /storage/nfs/emac/+
the problem here: I use a DHCP, with DHCP reservation.
since I use DHCP reservation the IP should not change.
but the DHCP reservation doesn't really work correctly,
because of this, if my mac is offline (A.K.A off, I never disconnect it), the IP is in the pool, and thus can be assigned to a other computer.
since the IP may change depending on if it is on at a given time.
I need a way to always successfully identify my emac.
for this I use the network name.
and now it changes too!
which means that in order to find it I need to know if it still has the same network name, or what it's IP is.
I can find the IP from a web browser since it's my router who is my DHCP.
but the server doesn't have one.
so I'd have to use a other computer, since the router doesn't allow SSH/TELNET connections.

Are network shares backed up by TimeMachine?

I know that when I have an external drive, it gets backed up with Time Machine. I wonder what happens with a mounted network share, will it also be backed up? I like having Time Machine atumatically backing up my external drives, but I don't want it to backup mounted network shares.
If this behaviour matches what Time Machine does, could somebody confirm it? if not, could anybody please indicate how am I supposed to configure my Time Machine taking into account that laptops tend to roam and that the network share name can't be predicted.
Thanks a lot in advance,

TimeMachine doesn't back up your Windows partition. (Hmm, I've not attempted to add a Windows partition to TimeMachine. I'll have to give that a try.)

Network Shares no longer work well in iTunes 5

One really cool and probably unnoticed feature of iTunes was it's ability to easily play music over network shares, and with the Keychain, connecting to the shares and playing the music was almost transparent. iPods would download the music off the network share.
Unfortunately now those features have entirely disappeared. First it was the automatic connect to network share when you clicked on a song that was on a share. Now it won't even go to the next song in the playlist, you have to click on each individual song which really blows big.
I'm sure I'm not the only one that has my music on a network share at home to use throughout the house. I really hope Apple will fix this feature because it was one of the coolest features of iTunes IMO.

yes i have tried recreating them in Tiger and they don't work reliably. they work as often as the Panther-created shortcuts work - once in a while.
at the least everyone is learning how to navigate the network, but there are only so many users that can do this without losing their minds.....

PC to Mac: ITunes library on network share

Hi all,
I am aware that these forums gets lots of PC -> Mac iTunes library migration questions. However, I'm having trouble with my particular situation.
Just got a new Mac Pro yesterday. It came with Tiger installed and a Leopard upgrade disc. So, I've already upgraded to Leopard. Software updater has already updated iTunes to v7.4.3. I have the iTunes library on a network share under folder called "My Music". The Mac has no issues with seeing the shared drive.
How do I go about pointing iTunes on the Mac to the library on the share? I know about holding down the option key while iTunes is starting. I've tried that but I don't know what folder or file the Mac version of iTunes is looking for. I keep getting messsages that iTunes can't find the library.
I'd like to keep the iTunes library in place but will move it if I must. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steven

Did more checking and the /My Music/itunes directory on the network share does have a "iTunes Library.itl" file. The iTunes library chooser keeps telling me it can't find an iTunes library.
Thanks,
Steven

How do I stop iTunes from adding music on network shares?

I find no way to stop iTunes from looking at network shares and therefore I have 2 copies of all mu music. I have a home network server and have a backup of my ripped music there. But I darn well don't want to have two copies showing up in iTunes and on my iPod.
I find no options in preferences that seem to be related. Everything is off in the Sharing tab. what am I missing?

Soulgazer,
If you are downloading from the iTunes Store, the song will always go to your iTunes library.
If you are downloading from another website, the behavior is controlled by a setting in your browser. For example, if you use Firefox, go to Options > Applications and make sure that the MP3s are set for "Always Ask." By doing this, the songs will be downloaded to your computer, but no action will be taked until you do something manually.

Locate iTunes Library to Network Share

I would like to store the iTunes library on a network resource so that macs and pc's can access it from my network and to facilitate backup and recovery.
Can this be done and if so how?
Thank you

Hi Hugh, happy Christmas...
Sounds like the issue I had with iTunes for a while, before I realised I was starting it BEFORE the network share (remote drive) was mounted. I use a ReadyNAS NV+, but the principle is the same...
Make sure file sharing is properly and securily turned on first on both ends.
A:
You can either connect through finder, once connected to the proper shared folder location drag the relevant folder "itunes music" to the devices list in finder. You should also add the location to you start up items.
B:
You can create a mount point for the drive using "Comand K" (Finder Go menu, connect to server...). If you connect this way its more robust, using either afp or smb you can also add the mount point to your start up items, so you can be sure the share point is available before you start iTunes.
This is how I would connect to my headless Mac mini, where 192.168.2.24 is the local IP of the Mac Mini;
file access... (you will have to double check the syntax here for your setup)
⌘K smb://192.168.2.24/users/woody/music
screen sharing...
⌘K vnc://192.168.2.24
(These shortcuts can be saved in the server list for future use, very handy.)
It should ask you for a password, which you should have set up in file sharing for security.

Writing apple script to perform actions on specific network shares/servers

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to posting to this forum, but had a few simple questions about writing Apple Script. I've created a few network shares on our home network, and wrote an apple script to automatically mount the shares upon login. However, there's 2 things I'm missing:
1. how to add a password feild to the script, along with the username.
2. how to make the resulting application from the script (or the script itself) ignore the errors that result when i am not at home, and the server is not available (basically I'm saying I don't want to see those errors pop up)
3. I also don't want to see the error from the network agent, about the server being unavailable.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Here is my script so far:
tell application "Finder"
mount volume "smb://mediaserver/automatically add to iTunes/" as user name "Rocco Fiorentino"
mount volume "smb://mediaserver/shared media" as user name "Rocco Fiorentino"
end tell
Thank you in advance for any assistance. Have a great day!

More importantly I have found that the names in the list don't match the descriptions!
Let's take one update for example, 061-3405 Pro Application Update 2007-01.
Although this completely defies logical explanation, If you resist sorting the list by anything (i.e. the default random order), the descriptions will in fact be correct. This is something I see from time to time with new Excel users when they try to sort related columns for the first time and forget to select all of the relevant data, but I am totally perplexed as to why this is happening here. It seems as though the descriptions are not actually part of the file, and as such, cannot be sorted (or don't follow around the original file).
For example, on my server, QuickTime Broadcaster 1.5 is followed by Logic Express 7.2.1. If I sort by name, the list starts with an Airport updater, but the first 2 descriptions remain the SAME (QT and Logic)! As I previously stated: this defies all logic and reason.
For me, this seems to be a cosmetic problem; the software update server is successfully serving updates to clients. It is, however, annoying.
Something seems seriously screwed here! I will keep digging but this does not fill me with confidence.

Multiple Users Mounting the Same Network Share?

Hello, first time posting...
I'll cut right to my main question: Is it possible, on OS X v10.3.9, for multiple users to simultaneously connect to the same network share?
Here in my office, we have a single Mac that is used by multiple people throughout the day. It has two accounts on it, 'Communications' and 'Studio'. 'Communications' is an Admin account that is used by a co-worker who spends the most time on the Mac. He created the no-limitation 'Studio' account for the rest of us to use.
There is a certain Windows network share that we both frequently use. We've found that if one user connects to the share first, the other user will not have access to it; using 'Go -> Connect to Server' will result in the share being greyed out in the list, and the share will not show up in the Finder.
However, there is one way around it. If Studio connects to the share first and then Communications (the admin account) attempts to make a connection of it's own *through a shortcut on the dock*, then a 'clone' of the share will be created on Comm's desktop, with a "-1" after the name (though it might be some other number).
This may sound like I've answered my own question, but what I'm looking for is a way for the non-Admin account to access the share after the Admin account already has (so that we don't have to log-in and disconnect Communications everytime Studio needs to manage files on the share).
We have Thursby Software's DAVE installed on the Mac, but I'm not sure how it fits into all this.
Any thoughts, suggestions or advice?
Thanks.

Bizarre. It turned out I could merge them, but only in to the mapped drive - L: - and only by explicitly clicking on the drive icon - if I typed L:\series in to dialog box it converted it back to \\nas\share\series... Not helpful.

Window 8.1 system unable to access network shares via VPN connection

Is there something inherent to Windows 8.1 that prevents it from accessing shares on a domain?
I know that it cannot join a domain, but does that also mean that it cannot access shares which are on a domain?
My problem is that I have several user that are running windows 8.1 that are connecting to our network via a VPN.
The users have domain accounts but their computers as windows 8.1 cannot joined to the domain.
So to access network shares they have to use their domain credentials to create a VPN connection.
Once connected the user can RDP to systems on the domain using their domain accounts, so I know that their user names/passwords and permissions are correct. They can access these systems using the computer name, so I don't feel that I have a DNS issue.
They can see the shares on our file server, but when they try to access their departments shared file, they receive an access denied message. There are a few shares that are completely wide open, shared to all users and all departments but they cannot access
those shares either.
You can ping the file server, from the the client when they are connected to the VPN but you just cannot access any of the shares.
So...
I am thinking that it has something to do with windows 8.1 and not being able to join a domain, but I cannot find anything to explicitly support this thought.
Other users running a variety different OS (windows 7, OSX, Linux) can all access the shares without any problems via the VPN, so I am a little stumped.

I have done some more testing and oddly enough I can map a drive if I use the IPaddress, but not the computer name, when checking the check box "connect using different credentials"and providing they users domain credentials.
This seems to point to a DNS issue, one would think, but I can hit the file share server by name \\fileserver.dev.lan
I can see all the shares, so dns seems to be fine right?
So I don't understand why I can map a drive using do the IPaddress and not the machine name, but yet I can see and ping the server by name?
When I try to create a mapped drive by machine name I receive the following message:
Windows cannot access \\fileserver.dev.lan\all
You do not have permissions to access \\fileserver.dev.lan. contact your network administrator to request access.
But if I use the \\x.x.x.x\all using the very same user and password I get connected with no problem.
This only seems to happen on windows 8.1, which leads me to think that has something to do with OS.
I am thinking about upgrading to windows 8.1 pro, but I don't want to go though the hassle and expanse is the OS is not the problem.

Can not print from network share.

When a PDF document is printed from a network share whe're getting this error:
Windows cannot find 'T:\temp\test.pdf'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.
This happens when a user click on the document with a right mouse click and select "print".
But when the users copies it to his desktop and then select print with the right mouse click. The document print as normally. What could be the problem?
we are using adobe reader 7.0.0

Suggest that you check to make sure that you installed Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2 on the PC.
Run the program and hopefully it will find your printer so you can select it and click to get things going.

Crashes when running applications from network share - "Windows cannot access the file for one of the following reasons"

Hi,
starting a couple of weeks ago, we get the following error(s) when running applications from a network share. We don't know what causes this, we are not aware of any major changes in our network infrastructure or client/Server configuration. We did upgrade
a lot of machines to Windows 8, but the issue also occurs on older Win7 computers.
We figured out a workaround though: The applications run fine when launching from a FQDN share (like
\\share.domain.Company.com) and only cause problems when running from
\\share directly. They have worked fine for years without FQDN though.
Any ideas?

Hi,
>>The applications run fine when launching from a FQDN share
It sounds like a DNS suffix issue. When this issue occurs, please try to ping share on the client, then check if the corresponding IP address is correct. If the IP address is wrong, please adjust your settings of DNS to make sure that the client can resolve
the share correctly.
If it's very hard to change the settings of the DNS for some reason, as a work around, we can add the entry into the clients' hosts file.
Best Regards.

How to get "fast user switching" and network shares playing nice

I've been alternating between banging my head against a wall and reading every forum I could find to try and get a reasonable compromise between using "Fast user switching" and sharing a folder from a file server. It baffles me how the network share/mount model of OSX/AFP is completely killed by fast-user-switching; this is a big problem with Apple requiring users to be actively logged in to share music/video from iTunes which therefore essentially requires fast-user-switching if anyone else wants to use the computer. (anyone find it odd that you can share files without being logged in, but sharing songs requires an active login for each user who is sharing? Apple: time to make iTunes sharing a service!)
For the sake of example, lets just say I want to share my /Groups folder from my desktop and have it be accessible to my laptop. Here are all the things that I tried:
Apple Method 1) Share /Groups in the Server.app on the desktop (running Lion Server), use finder on the laptop and drag the share icon to "Login Items", alternative use a startup Apple script using "mount volume" Both of the options work and will mount the /Groups folder under /Volumes/Groups, of course when the second person logs in via fast-user-switching (and occasionally the first person for no apparent reason), they will get /Volumes/Groups-1 since /Volumes/Groups is already taken. Tomorrow we log in a different order and now the previously /Volumes/Groups-1 user has their mount at /Volumes/Group and vice versa. Any links, aliases, finder sidebar references, and application settings which pointed to yesterday's location are now BROKEN. Not very user friendly to my mother-in-law who is trying to find those pictures of the kids and doesn't know anything about mount points. I also can't reasonably mirror the file location structure on the desktop so that application preferences that are synced between the two (portable home directories) work. fail.
Apple Method 2) Use automounter and set up by hand direct maps for /Groups or an indirect maps for the children of /Groups. Now it will automatically get mounted to /network/servers/SERVER/Groups/ on the laptop and on the desktop it will automatically create a similar symlink structure so that the same path (/network/servers/SERVER/Groups) work both on desktop and laptop. Cool. Except when the second person logs in, the /network/servers/SERVER/Groups/ mountpoint is already owned by the first user and they don't have any permissions to access it. Fail.
Apple Method 3) Use mount_afs and specify directly the mount-points. Have each user have their own startup AppleScript which mounts /Groups to a different location (e.g. /Users/Shared/username/Groups) that way they don't conflict with multiple users. On the desktop, set up symlinks from /Users/Shared/username/Group to /Groups so that it will be the same as the client and applications settings will work when synchronized back/forth by portable-home-directories. Will it work, yes it does, but what a bear to maintain. Is this really what I should expect to do just to have multiple users on my desktop and laptop (which again is essentially required now if I want to do any type of iTunes sharing). This can't be what apple expects.
What I ended up doing - the "not quite apple" solution.
Non-Apple Method 4) After a read of "Autofs: Automatically Mounting Network File Shares in Mac OS X" (http://images.apple.com/business/docs/Autofs.pdf) at the very end there is a single paragraph of "Kerberized NFS": "A Kerberized NFS mount can have multiple connections from multiple users, each using the correct user’s credentials for each transaction. This allows administrators to support multiple users, each authenticated with their own credentials to the same mount point. This is very different from AFP and SMB mounts," (emphasis mine)
It appears that by using good 'ole NFS (abeint with Kerberos for security!) you can actually have multiple users on the same mount point. Roughly following the guidance at https://support.apple.com/kb/TA24986?viewlocale=en_US. What I needed to do was:
1) create /etc/exports on my desktop and add a single line "/Groups -sec=krb5". The existence of /etc/exports triggered a start of nfsd which no longer has any GUI options in Lion.
2) Add a line to /etc/auto_master on my laptop "/- auto_mymounts" to reference a new direct map.
3) Create /etc/auto_mymounts and add a single line "/Groups SERVER:/Groups" to create the direct map.
THAT'S IT. Three lines in three files.
Now when I log into my laptop, there is a /Groups that is a network mount of my desktop's /Groups, same location AND it works for all of my users, even simultaneously.
In the end I'm happy with what I've got, but man was this a difficult path just to support fast-user-switching. In Lion, Apple appears to be getting away from NFS (no longer turned on by default and remove from the GUI controls) but clearly this really useful functionality which doesn't exist in AFP.
I'm really curious, after all this work. Any other ways to accomplish this?

In my example above, yes I chose to mount the share "Groups" to the top of the root since that is where I put it on my server and I wanted to keep them similar; but that was just my preference, it isn't a requirement. You can export and mount from other directories.

How can I stop an network share from auto mounting?

I have a recent 13" MBPr and I installed Steam. For kicks, I told it to save the library on my 10.8 mac mini server. This worked well. It worked so well, I started up Parallels and did the same thing for my steam library on my boot camp partition. I closed Parallels and Steam then put my laptop to sleep. I was away from my home network and repeatedly received messages about not being able to access my server in a standard Finder pop-up. No big deal, I opened Steam to try and remove the library from my list. It was no longer listed.
Upon arriving home I opened steam and still could not find my share in the list. I removed Steam and all it's support files. Still on every boot I get the finder error about not being able to connect to my server. When I boot up my parallels boot camp VM I get the same Finder error. It pops up several (I never bothered to count) before it stops after I keep closing the pop-up.
I've looked at /etc/auto_master and /etc/auto_home, my login items, and I cannot find the process that keeps trying to mount the network share. When I am at my home and reboot my mac or boot parallels I do not receive the error. But I also do not see the mounted share on my desktop. I do see it when I perform the ls command on /Volumes. When I try and cd into it I get a Permission Denied error. Root/Wheel seems to own the mounted share. When I sudo the folder I see all the files stored on that volume.
Does anyone know how I can stop this from happening without resorting to creating a new user? I just got this one the way I like it (before I screwed it up with steam!)
Thanks for reading my short novel.

did the restore through itunes but to no avail.
Then you must have restored and installed your backup when requested. To remove those emails, you have to restore as new, i.e. without your backup, as roaminggnome suggested.

Office 365 x64 Click-to-Run Not Automatically Updating from Network Share

We are piloting Office 365 x64 and pointing the clients to a network share (see config file below) for updates. When we subsequently download the updates to the share the clients will not automatically install them. If we manually do so from
within an app (File > Account > Update Options > Update Now) it works fine. The ACL and Sharing permissions allow Everyone and Domain Computers read-only access (in addition to some other ancillary accounts). I've tried manually running
the Office Automatic Updates from Task Scheduler and left the box running overnight. I've rebooted, logged back on, closed and opened the app several times. Nothing happens, just always sits at the current version.
Anyone have any ideas?
      Thanks,
         Bryan

Hi,
I replied in the other thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/e9e6be40-fb92-4734-9f94-9dee5599b1d8/office-365-pro-plus-2013-update-wont-apply-automatically?forum=officeitpro#c156ed8c-f65c-450c-9e0f-85f0de513c20
It seems when the install finished it added an extra Office\Data to the path. My path should be \\hsbswpush02\GPsoftware\o365\Office\Data\15.0.4551.1005
but it shows
\\hsbswpush02\GPsoftware\o365\Office\Data\Office\Data15.0.4551.1005
If I edit the path and delete the extra Office\Data Office 365 ProPlus updates from my network location. I cannot figure out why it is adding the extra Office\Data to the path.
My config file looks like this:
  <Updates Enabled="TRUE" UpdatePath="\\hsbswpush02\GPsoftware\o365\Office\Data" />
have you tried omitting the \Office\Data element, from the Updates element ?
