Itunes works on my imac, but not on Dell connected with router

Hi, We just got our computers hooked up at our new house. Previously only used iMac for internet. Now we have both connected with a router. I can log onto iTunes with the Mac, but not with the PC, even though it can access the internet. I followed the troubleshooting guidelines (e.g. enabled pop-ups, did the dns) but iTunes still says it cannot connect. Please help.

  • How to use an apple id on an iPad but not have it connect  with my phone and mac

    I've recently sold my ipad to my younger sisters who are using my apple id. once they are in wifi they are able to use facetime and imessage but it connects with my email and phone number. They are also able to view my pictures in "my photo stream". Is there a way to let them us my apple id but completely disable the id from imessage, facetime, and making sure my photo stream does not show up?

    When you created your iCloud account, the @me.com email address you created also automatically became an AppleID, but you used an exisiting AppleID in the first place to create the iCloud account before deciding on that @me.com address.  So your iCloud account is actually the AppleID you used to initially create the account, not the @me.com address assigned once the iCloud account was active (look in your account settings on your iPhone or iPad and you can see what the iCloud account primary AppleID is).
    Unless you specifically started using your new @me.com address for things, it is an unused AppleID, but it is NOT your iCloud account primary ID (that is whatever AppleID you used to create the iCloud account initially).
    An AppleID is nothing more than an email address, but it is linked to an AppleID account held with Apple and thus can be used to log in to services including the various Apple stores.

  • Why does iPhoto 8.1.2 work on one iMac but not another when both are the same spec both running Mavericks 10.9.1?

    I have a studio of 7 iMacs all running Mavericks 10.9.1, six of the machines are able to open iPhoto 8.2.1 but for some reason after updating the seventh, iPhoto vanished completely from that machine. I reinstalled it from a copy I had saved on a HDD but it now says it's unsupported with this version of OSX. I don't want to pay the £10 + for a piece of software that is only being used to import photos from the occasional iPhone so wont be installing the new version, especially as I know 8.2.1 does work on Mavericks.
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks

    Reinstall v8 from the install disk as, at a guess, the version of the HDD is missing components.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Cisco Anytime Connect VPN working from iMac but not from MacBook Air with same settings and wifi network

    Hi guys,
    I'm having trouble connecting my new MacBook Air to Cisco Anytime Connect VPN.
    The same configuration works with my iMac, in the same network and same Mac OS Mountain Lion on both computers.
    After successfully connecting to VPN after a few seconds it gets disconnected and, what is worse, WIFI is not working any more in my macBook Air, I need to deactivate it and start again.
    With iMac with the same settings it doesn't happen.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Did you power cycle the network? That's always the first thing you want to do if a device is "missing" or not connecting to your network correctly.
    If you have not already tried this a few times, power down the entire network...all devices, order is not important.
    Wait a few minutes and place the MBAir close to the TC
    Start the modem first and let it run a few moments by itself. Then start the TC if it is the device connected to the modem and let it run a few moments. Then start each device one at a time the same way.

  • Avi files work fine on iMac but not new MacBook Pro

    I've had an iMac for three years and recently purchased a new MacBook Pro.  I have a ton of .avi files (movies) on an external drive and have had no problem playing them on my iMac; however, I'm not able to play them on my MacBook Pro.  I have installed Flip4Mac on my MacBook Pro but I'm still getting an error message saying "avi is not a format that can be played."
    Any ideas? 
    Thanks in advance for the help!!!

    It works fine through my macbook, can't find anything in settings on iphone to resolve problem

  • Trying to connect my iMac to on 10.8.2 with PowerBook Intel on 10.5.8; sharing works from PowerBook to iMac but not the other way around. Why?

    Trying to connect my iMac to on 10.8.2 with PowerBook Intel on 10.5.8; sharing works from PowerBook to iMac but not the other way around. Why?

    Thanks for the interest. Preferences are similar on both machines: screen sharing, file sharing, printer sharing & scanner sharing all ticked and radio button for Screen Sharing is ON.
    My confusion is that I can get a network connection to the iMac by selecting "go to server" on the PowerMac running 10.5.8 but am unable to make the iMac connect to the PowerMac using similar selections. When ethernet cable is plugged in the PowerMac shows up on the finder bar on the iMac, but it does not allow either screen sharing or connection to occur - a dialog box tells me to check System Prefs and Network connection.
    I'm hoping to export a large file of photos from iPhoto on my iMac to my wife's PowerMac and hoped to achieve this with an ethernet network connection.

  • Title overlay works fine on MBP but not imac. Why?

    Hello,
    I have this problem with putting a title into FCPx that happens on my iMac but not on my MacBook Pro.  I am hoping someone in here can explain to me why, and how to fix it.  These are screenshots of the issue on my iMac, as well as screen shots of what it looks like when it's on my MacBook Pro, which is the way it's supposed to look.
    The titles are .mov files with a transparent background.
    iMac view -  This is the original view on my timeline with NO title added 
    iMac view again -  This is the view on my timeline when I put the title over my video on my iMac
    MacBook Pro - It works perfectly on my MacBook Pro as can be seen here.  This is the same exact frame as it is on my iMac.
    FCPx is the most recently updated version on both.  I just really need help with figuring out why it works on my macbook pro, my husband's macbook pro, but not my iMac.  They are all the same version of FCPx.
    Thanks so much,
    K-

    You must be using proxy media on the iMac.
    The ProRes proxy codec does not support an alpha channel, so the transparent parts would be black, as you are getting.

  • I-pod touch works on a Mac but not a PC

    Please help! My I-pod touch works on a Mac but not a PC. When hooked up to a PC, the device is not recognized in I-tunes message, says I-pod in recovery mode and to restore, after checking update and restore, receive unknown error message (9). Have tried unistaling and reinstalling I-tunes, using different USB ports, creating new user, restarting computer, using different PC, and trying to reset by holding sleep/wake and home buttons all to no avail, very, very frustrated, everything is fine on a Mac!!

    I have CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2010, version 6.0.0.264.
    I was wondering about that one in particular.
    Try configuring you CA as per kalda01's instructions in this post:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10525876#10525876
    (Sometimes switching the security software off doesn't help, but doing the configuration does help. Not sure what's afoot with that, but it has happened with other security-package problems with iTunes in the past.)

  • Magic Mouse One-Finger Swipe Works for one user but not the other

    For the main account on my iMac, I can use a single finger swipe to move back and forward within Chrome. However the second user (also an administrator) cannot use this setting and must instead use the two finger swipe in settings. Both settings are identical but the Chrome browser wont recognize the single finger swipe for the second user. The gesture works fine in Safari, but not Chrome. Any suggestions?

  • Airplay works for one user but not for another on the same machine

    I have the problem where airplay works for one user but not for another and both users are on the same machine.  For the user where it does not work, everything appears normal, it's just that there is no sound being transmitted.  I have tried restarting the Airport express, restarting iTunes, repairing disk permissions.  Any ideas about what can be done to resolve this?

  • DVD Burned from iDVD 6.0.1 plays on iMac but not a DVD player?

    After burning a DVD production on DVD-RW and DVD+RW CDs and both directly from iDVD and by first creating a disc image. In all cases they worked on my iMac but none of them worked on the DVD player. Only the DVD+RW is compatible with the player and it appears the DVD starts to load but can not finish the process. Is there something I missed or is there a bug in iDVD 6.0.1?
    The iDVD production was made from scratch using Magic iDVD and some video files. The Map has no errors and there where no error messages.

    Is there something I missed or is there a bug in iDVD 6.0.1?
    The bug is probably the format you're burning to...
    Use DVD-R. I'd recommend Verbatim DVD-R burned at 4x or slower. I'll bet that will play just fine...as long as the DVD player is relatively new (2-3 years old).
