ITunes, with Maxtor Shared Storage.

Hi Guys,
I've set my iTunes Music Folder location to that of my Maxtor Shared Storage drive (where all my music is) but none of my music is displayed in iTunes? What am I missing here? I have a music folder plus lots of sub folders, I've tried doing a reset but no luck.
Need some help

gtiskin, Welcome to the discussion area!
Perhaps you should ask this in the iTunes discussion area or the Tiger (10.4) networking discussion area.

How do i add a phone to my itunes with out sharing storage

how do i add another phone to my apple id without sharing storage

You can share purchases by using the same Apple ID in
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: > here to share purchases.
You daughter should use her own Apple ID for all other Apple services (iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, iCloud, etc...)

Maxtor Shared Storage (NAS) + Airport Express problems

Dear forum readers and network pundits,
I have just recently bought a 500Gb Maxtor Shared Storage (MSS) ethernet drive, to which I'm planning to make regular backup of files from my wirelessly connected MacBook Pro and Mac Mini. Both computers are connected to the Internet via Airport Express, which, in turn, is connected to a router/modem. The MSS is attached to an RJ45 socket on the modem, next to the Airport Express RJ45 cable.
The problem is that I cannot seem to make a proper connection to the MSS. I can access the drive's web interface through Safari, but I cannot mount it as a network drive in the Finder. When hooking up my MacBook Pro to the router/modem directly using a RJ45 cable everything works like a charm, so I know the drive works fine. The problem seems to be the transition from the wired router to Airport Express.
I'm no network wizard in any way. When things don't work from the start I'm left scratching my beard, which is why I turn to the vast bank of knowledge contained here. Please help me. Is there a button in the Airport Express settings I can push to make it work, or do I need to by more hardware?
Looking forward to your help.
Cheers,
Andreas

NAS Problems! Maxtor Shared Storage II not accepting long file names

Somebody help me!!!! Maxtor Shared Storage II. can't accept beyond certain filename length. And Maxtor says its Mac compatible. What a bull! Now, is there a way for me to do it via ethernet? Or do I have to use a usb cable with matching ends? And once I've reformat it, will everything works just as fine as well? I mean all the capability of the RAID and network?
Cheers!

Thanks for the technical jargon thingy – the hatter – I've been spending the couple of my sleepless hours finding out about the problem that I have came across that FAT32 thingy numerous times.
Next month I'll be turning 32. Lucky for me, I'm not FAT and make sure I won't otherwise I start becoming 'Mac-unfriendly' even though I'm definitely am very compatible.

Backing up to Maxtor Shared Storage II

trying to backup files from mb pro to maxtor shared storage II. noticed not all .jpg's copied over and no other information (e.g., .doc's, etc.). any help appreciated including if easy way to ensure all documents (.jpg's, .doc, etc.) copied over.

The best way is with http://www.bombich.com/ 's Carbon Copy Cloner using simple cloning after formatting the hard drive with GUID partitioning. If you must connect to a PC, consider networking via the PC, or using Macdrive software to read it.

File Copied to Maxtor Shared Storage NAS Drive Disappearing?

I attached a new Maxtor Shared Storage II (500 Gb) drive to our wireless router, and have discovered problem with disappearing files when trying to copy a local file to a folder in the NAS drive.
Open a window to an empty folder on the NAS drive. Drag a file on the desktop of the local machine to the folder. File appears to be successfully copied.
However, looking at the info bar of the target window immediately after the copying operation shows that the folder contains TWO files (even though only one is shown in the window). After a few seconds, the file disappears and the window shows 0 files. There is no error message.
The desktop file I'm trying to copy has an image icon (as with many files in Leopard). However, the file in the NAS folder window always shows a generic Preview icon during its brief existence.
This happens about 75% of the time.
Occasionally, the window does show two files after copying, and both files will disappear. When this happens, one of the files has a generic Preview icon, and the other has an Acrobat icon.
Other times, the drag and drop produces no files on the target window and no error message.
The file that shows the problems is this file: http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/Promotionsfiles/businesslinkgovukrun.pdf
I'm running Leopard 10.5.1, everything up to date. Can anyone shed light on this problem?
What seems to me to be happening is that when Leopard copies a file with an image icon, it copies the icon separately from the file. After the copy, it ties them up together. If something is not quite right, it can't "bundle" the icon with the file, and the copy operation falls down.

Suggestions on how to connect iMac *directly* to Maxtor Shared Storage?

i know that using Time Machine to back up to my Maxtor Shared Storage over my network isn't an option right now... So in the meantime, I would like to just connect my Maxtor drive directly to my iMac -- but I can't figure out how.
There is no way to connect it via USB, and there is no firewire port. The Apple guy at Best Buy said to use the ethernet cable to connect the external hard drive to my iMac, but I can't get my iMac to recognize the drive that way.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Right now my Maxtor drive is connected via a router no problem... But In order to use Time Machine, the drive needs to be directly (via cable,etc) connected to my iMac...
There is no firewire port on my Maxtor drive.
I did go to Best Buy (and Office Max, and Office Depot) to buy a USB cable... The cable I need doesn't exist... For example they are like this:
http://www.coolgear.com/images/as340823as.jpg
But BOTH my iMac and Maxtor drive have ports that take the USB cable-end shown on the left in the image above. There is no cable that is the same on both ends...
So, how do I get my computer to recognize/mount my Maxtor drive when I connect it directly to the iMac via ethernet cable (that is what the Apple guy at Best Buy told me to do)? I can't find anything at all in the Maxtor documentation about this...
Thanks for reading...

How to implement RAC with no shared storage available...

Hello Guys,
I have installed, configured single node RAC R2 with 2 database instances on windows 2000 platform with the help of vmware software. Installation was successfull.
I just meet my boss to explain him my acheivements and to get permission to go for prodcution environment where we will be developing 3 nodes RAC on linux platform.
I asked him that we need a shared stroage system that can be achieved by SAN or NAS or firewire disks... but he refuses to buy any additioan hardware as we have already spend a lot on servers. He wants to me have another computer with a large size Hard Disk Drive to be used as shared storage.
I just want to know can we configure 3 nodes RAC using HDD of an other computer as sommon shared storage...
Please guide me. I really want to implement RAC in our production environment.
Regards,
Imran

Yeah, but would openfiler work? Has any one
implemented RAC using open filer or software
configured shared storage.
Any other better solution as i have to implement it
in production environment and have to seek better
backup facilities.Are you looking for a production environment, or an evaluation environment?
For an evaluation environment OpenFiler works. I occasionally teach RAC classes using that. It works but it is not as fast or as robust as I'd like in production.
For a production environment, plan to pay some money. The least expensive commercial shared stored I have found is from NetApp - any NetApp F8xx or FAS2xx files with iSCSI or even NFS license will do for RAC.

AppleTV don't show in iTunes with internet sharing on

Dear all,
I have a problem with my new appletv. I'm sharing internet connection via ethernet on my iMac directly connected to a linksys access point. tv have a wireless connection to the linksys and the ethernet ip address of my iMac as a gateway. With internet sharing on my iTunes don't show tv and don't synchronize with it.
My current setup is iTunes 8.1 and tv 2.3.1 firmware. With previous firmware release all is ok.
Any suggestion? Is it possible to use internet sharing and iTunes sync at the same time?

Songs will only show up if they are in the library. Did you copy the music from your old iTunes library and load it on the new computer?

- service o2cb enable -> ok -> on both nodes
- then mkfs.ocfs2 in node1
- mount -t ocfs2 in node1
- mount -t ocfs2 in node 2:

Oracle RAC with QFS shared storage going down when one disk fails

When the disk /dev/did/dsk/d2 failed (I have failed it by removing from the array), the oracle RAC went offline on both nodes, and then both nodes paniced and rebooted. Now the #clrg status shows below output.

rac_server_proxy-rg host1 No Pending online blocked
host2 No Pending online blocked
crs is not started in any of the nodes. I would like to know if anybody faced this kind of a problem when using QFS on diskgroup. When one disk is failed, the oracle is not supposed to go offline as the other disk is working, and also my qfs configuration is to mirror these two disks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many thanks in advance
Ushas Symon

I'm not sure why you say QFS is mirroring these disks!?!? Shared QFS has no inherent mirroring capability. It relies on the underlying volume manager (VM) or array to do that for it. If you need to mirror you storage, you do it at the VM level by creating a mirrored metadevice.

Should I buy Maxtor Shared Storage Plus - 300GB ??

Would greatly appreciate your advice. I know nothing about network storage. Have just stumbled across it when looking for an external HD 250-300 GB. From the Discussion, it sounds tricky but Maxtor's publicity says it is Mac-friendly. MacMall has them now available.
Is it really good and Mac-friendly???
My iMac has lots of HD capacity but the iCube 20 GB HD is packed. I would like to network them and have my assistant work simultaneously with me on the iCube.
I have a 2Wire DSL router from SBC connected by Ethernet cable to the iCube and by wi-fi to the iMac. Will the Maxtor storage be connected by Ethernet to the router?
First, the network storage would be my backup. Can I boot from it too?
I understand both users can share documents. This will allow me to off-load lots of stuff from the iCube. Can both users work simultaneously on a Word or Excel document?
Can both users share the same e-mail database (Entourage or Mail) simultanelously??
Is it really better for me than an external HD? I guess, depends on the capability to work simultaneously.
Thanks for your comments,
iMac G5 250 GB Mac OS X (10.4.4) iCube iBook

Maxtor's publicity says it is Mac-friendly
I don't see anything on their site that mentions the word 'Mac', friendly or not.
That doesn't mean you can't use it - it may well be that it only implemented Windows-based file sharing protocols (e.g. SMB), but the Mac can act as an SMB client just fine, so it may not need specific Mac support.
Will the Maxtor storage be connected by Ethernet to the router?
That depends on your router and whether the router has a built-in switch or not.
Look at the back of the router and count the number of ports it has. If it's more than 2 (and at least one of them is spare) then it has a built-in switch and you should be able to plug the server into it.
If it doesn't have more than two port, or all its ports are used then you'll need an addition switch to hook everything together.
Can both users work simultaneously on a Word or Excel document?
No. Both users can open the document, but neither Word nor Excel support multiple editors/writers. The second user who opens the file will get an error and will not be able to save the document while the first user has it open.
Additionally, don't think that one user can open the file and type while the other user sees what's being written? It doesn't work that way, either (there are apps that will do this, but neither Excel nor Word do).
Can both users share the same e-mail database (Entourage or Mail) simultanelously??
Sure, if you don't mind corrupting your mail database and losing any and all mail in it (seriously: Do not try this).
I'm not aware of any mail client that supports multiple accesses to the mail database. You might be able to achieve what you want using IMAP (where the mail is stored on a mail server and can be accessed serially by multiple clients), but I don't know your goals here to know if that is sufficient.
Is it really better for me than an external HD? I guess, depends on the capability to work simultaneously.
It depends on what you want to do. If your goal is to have the second machine share some of the storage on the first it may be that your best bet is to just fire up file sharing on one machine and do it that way.
Just bear in mind that few applications support multiple accesses to the same file so no matter what approach you take you will have that limitation.

Syncing apps to iTunes with Family Sharing

I recently got a new iPhone 6 Plus and decided to use my own Apple ID instead of using my fathers, which I used on my old phone. I got all the apps that I wanted from the new family sharing option. However, when I sync my phone to my computer, under my own Apple ID/iTunes account, none of the apps I acquired from family sharing, which is most of them, show up in my iTunes library under my Apple ID. This is frustrating me, and I was wondering if anyone knew a solution.

Okay, my process worked...
Step 1. Unstall iTunes and all associated programs (total 6 incl. iTunes.
Here is the link for that:
http://www.bluefireanimation.com/
Step 2. Re-install iTunes (do not attach iPad yet.
Step 3. Open the newly re-installed iTunes and clear sync history:
edit/preferences/devices/reset history
Step 4. (Very important) Same location as 3 above-UNCLICK "prevent iPods, iPhones, iPads from syncing automatically"
Step 5. Connect iPad and sync.
This step will sync as much as possible from the library. If you are like me you will get a not enough memory error. If you do- no problem. You will be able to simply "uncheck' sync in all tabs except apps. YOU MUST SYNC ALL APPS INITIALLY. You can back later and sync only those you want to have on your iPad. Continue to sync one tab at a time with appropriate content.
These steps assume you completed a factory reset. The only difference is I am running Windows 7
Hope this helps...

Is there any doucment to install RAC 10G R2 with vmware shared storage?

Hello Guys,
I was reading this article on link http://www.dizwell.com/prod/node/25 it says the following
"If you had a physical machine with two network cards installed and a second hard disk with absolutely nothing else on it, you could achieve a RAC using a physical machine"
I am in procesof installing 2 nodes RAC and have configure network requirements on each node. I am struck with shared disk storage... can i acheive a shared diak storage by adding an other hardrive to one of the nodes? Please help...

Can people listening to my iTunes with Home Sharing modify my songs?

If I enable Home Sharing with a password for my household, can others who listen to my songs also change my song ratings, metadata, etc.? Or is there some way to disable them from doing so?
Also, if I set "Remember password" for someone connected to my iTunes, how do I later "forget" that password on their computer?
