Library sharing question - Possible to block edits?

I would like to share all pictures, in all albums, in all libraries to the public without allowing any edits/uploads. Is this possible?
So far I only see where I can invite others via email, but they are able to upload and edit which I do not want to be possible.

Asking others to join a group libraryis a collaborative thing, where there is one owner, and other contributors. All must have revel accounts and then the library will show up in their account. You can not limit their capabilities except that they already can not delete photos that they did not add themselves.
Sharing of albums withing libraries is more limited and does not require others to have a revel account.
If you wish to share everything for viewing only by anyone, you could put everything in the library into a single album, disable downloads, and share the link. If you have more than one library, you could do a link an album in each library that contains all of the photos in the library.
If you then have some photos you wish to share with family or a group and you wish them to be able to download, you can put those photos into a different album in the library (they can be some of the same photos/videos in the public album) and enable downloads.

Library sharing questions

Hello there,
I have a PM G4, a PB G4 and an XP machine all connected to the same network in my home. I use the XP machine and the PM G4 upstairs in my office and the laptop downstairs (predominantly) and it connects to the network via a Linksys WAP11 access point.
I have an extensive music collection on the XP machine and I use iTunes 7.7. Here's the screwy bit: I can use iTunes library sharing between the XP machine and the PM G4 (they're on the wired network) but I have some issues with library sharing on the PB G4 over wireless. I can see the PM G4's library just fine on the Powerbook but the XP's library doesn't appear.
As a point of interest and troubleshooting I connected the PB to the wired network and, lo and behold, all libraries appear and are accessible. Seems to me that there is some issue with the Mac version of iTunes connecting to a shared library on a Windows XP machine through a wireless network.
While I've done the customary wander through google to get more info it doesn't appear as though anyone has the exact problem I have. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

I'd appreciate some clarity on this note.
I'm running iPhoto 6 (ver 6.0.6) with my library of photos and have second Mac with iPhoto '08 (ver 7.1.5). I merely want to be able to view photos in iPhoto '08 from the library on 6 machine.
I've accessed once by using Preferences -> Sharing without incident. From your note, it appears I should have a problem with my Ver 6 now. Am I misunderstanding your note?
Thanks, Lyle

Library Sharing question

Hi
I am not even sure if this is possible
I have a desktop PC (Vista & iTunes 8) and all my music is on an external 250gb hd.
I have successfully managed to share this library with my laptop (again Vista & iTunes 8)over my wireless network. None of the music is actually on the hd of the laptop.
My question is , is it possible to edit the song info on the laptop?
Regards
Graeme

Yes. That itunes sharing feature lets folks in dorms & offices share music.
So, itunes is not going to let you edit somebody else's library. In this case the other library also belongs to you, but iTunes doesn't know that.
You have to make the changes on your desktop PC.

Library Sharing blocked by firewall despite settings

Just updated to iTunes 10.5 on my "first Intel generation" iMac, which runs 10.5.8.
Library sharing worked previously (iTunes 10.4.something), but now my other Macs and iDevices can 'see' that the library is there to be shared, but cannot access any content. The appfirewall.log shows:
Firewall[42]: Deny iTunes connecting from 10.0.1.5:55709 uid = 0 proto=6
whenever I try to access it from another machine/device.
Meanwhile, the Firewall settings in the Security pane of System Preferences show iTunes.app with "Allow incoming connections".
I have tried:
- adding and removing iTunes.app from the Firewall list of apps
- restarting the system
- turning off library sharing within iTunes and turning it back on, including re-naming the library
It continues to fail the same way every time.
Has anyone else encountered (and hopefully solved) this problem?

Yes I have been struggling with this for months.
I have concluded that the firewall is broken and simply needs to be avoided, turn it off, don't use it. Adding iTunes to the allowed list should work but it doesn't. Look at your logs, you'l see the many instances of the firewall blocking itues access even though you have specifically told the firewall to allow it.
Annoyances like this destroy the Apple myth: "It just works."
Scared of opperating without a firewall turned on? Get Lil Snitch and use that instead. The Apple Firewall doesn't work anyway, we've seen that as described above. So how can you be sure it is blocking any nasties? You can't. Turn it off and your problem is solved.

How to block on iTunes "library sharing"?

I trying to block the option "library sharing" on iTunes, Does anyone know what regristry should we add on Windows (64 bits) to do it?

You can probably block the iTunes/Bonjour applications or a couple of ports in Windows Firewall.
These support documents should give you some hints:
HT1601 - Archived - iTunes for Windows: Music Sharing With Windows Internet Connection Firewall
PH12372 - iTunes 11 for Windows: Enable iTunes in the Windows Firewall
TS3448 - iTunes for Windows: Bonjour alert due to firewall, security, or proxy software
Though obviously you'll be looking for ways to create the problem instead of resolve it.
If your organization uses roaming profiles then it is also worth making sure that the user's iTunes libraries are not located within the profile and likewise any iOS device backups are safely redirected to local storage.

Is it possible to block a number in iOS 6 but the same iphone number could be viewed as online on whatsapp application in the blocked device?

Is it possible to block a number in iOS 6 but the same iphone number could be viewed as online on whatsapp application in the blocked device?

Hi ChrisJ4203,
I see you didn't comment on editing the numbers in the keypad, I believe you have that problem too but you forgot to click "I have this question too".
By the way I've sent a couple feedback messages to Apple already and thanks for reminding me, I guess I'll have to be doing that more often.
Enjoy your day

Library sharing to Aperture and sync to iPad by iTunes

My question is: I had updated iTunes to 10.6.3, iPhoto to 9.3.2 and Aperture to 3.3.2. Since there are the new Library sharing feature. I tried to use Aperture sharing the iPhoto Library and edited photos that including crop and color adjustment. After I switched back to use iPhoto, all edited photos preview perfectly. However, all edited version of photos hasn't been synced to iPad when I used iTunes sync my iPhoto Library, the photos keep in original version unless I edited in iPhoto again. Does anyone has the same problem and knew how to fix it?

I'm not sure I understand.
If you open Library A in Aperture, that's the library available for syncing in iTunes.
Switch to Library B and that's the one available in iTunes.
Same is true of iPhoto.
So, what I'm trying to find out is if the problem syncing persists regardless of which app is offering the Library to iTunes.
As for the two different libraries: you could do the same with one Library, two keywords and a couple of Smart Albums. Or just by choosing to sync specific Projects.
What format is the External Disk?

A very basic question regarding data block

Hi All,
I've a very basic question concerning data blocks in oracle forms 10g.
I want to make a view only screen (only query allowed, no update, insert or delete).
I'll have 6-7 fields on the screen but all the fields are not from a single table.
For e.g, let say we've field names to display on the screen are f1, f2, f3, f4..
Out of this f1 and f2 will come from table A and f3, f4 will come from table B.
Now, my question : Is it possible to create a data block using the data block wizard for such situation if we select create data block from table options?
If no, can you please tell me an approach to do this.
Regards,
Navnit

Hello ,
First write your query & select datablock property.
just change the below properties
Query Data Source Type=From Clause Query
Query Data Source Name = (Paste query here)
now you should add the block ITEMs and give their names according to query columns names. shows the column on canvas and run..
Best Regard

How can i turn off library sharing remotely because i cant remember all the computers or systems

I want to be able to add my new computer to my library sharing however it will not let me. It says i already have 5 computers on the system. My question is as i said, how if possible can I turn off the connection to the other computers?

This isssue is about authorisation rather than home sharing.
You can't de-authorise just the computers you no longer have access to.
Your only option is to de-authorise all your computers and then re-authorise those you wish to be authorised. You can do this by logging into your account settings in iTunes on your computer (Store > View My ID) and selecting the option to de-authorise all.
Please note however, you are only permitted to do this once in each 12 month period, therefore you would be better de-authorising your computers before you lose access to them. you can do this from the 'Store' menu in iTunes.

Is there any possibility to block emails of subscriptions we are about to create in 2008 (folder level) and enable back the emails once we are done creating the subscriptions

Hi,
We are migrating our Reporting Server from 2005 to 2008 and we have around 3500 timed subscriptions which are scheduled daily/weekly/monthly.
It takes around 1 week to recreate all these subscriptions in 2008 reporting server as we are using C# Code (to get the new subscriptionID from 2008 for further use). In this 1 week the subscription emails will be duplicated as they are sent from both
2005 and 2008 (created) to end user but we can't disable the SMTP for the 2008 report server as there are other projects (separated at folder level) working on it.
The Question here is, "Is there any possibility to block emails of subscriptions we are about to create in 2008 (only to our folder) and enable back the emails once we are done migrating to 2008?".
Regards,
Prabhat Y.

Hi Prabhat Y,
Per my understanding that you are doing the migration from SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2008 and now you are re-creating the 3500 subscriptions in the SSRS 2008, so you want to the new created subscription in SSRS 2008 will be pause and not execute at this time, right?
Generally, we have several method to pause the subscription processing, please reference to details information below:
When you created an subscription, an new Sql Server Agent job will be created too, so you can you can just uncheck the 'enabled' checkbox in the job properties as below to disable the execution of the job,you can also stop the SQL Server Agent Services
manually, all your subscriptions will stop running:
More information, Please reference to:
How to temporarily stop SSRS subscriptions
You can also disable a Shared Data Source, pause a Shared Schedule to pause the subscription processing.
Pause Report and Subscription Processing
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Ask Apple for better iPhoto (Aperture) Library sharing!

*Some Background...*
My wife and I each have our own Mac and iPhone and we share a digital camera. Between the three camera devices we snap a lot of photos and we want easy access (over the network!) to each other's photos so we can both maintain a shared library. iPhoto 8.1.2 (iLife '09) allows some rudimentary sharing, but it's very basic and not centralized. So, all photos are accessible only when both Macs are on the network and iPhoto is running on each. If you search for "iPhoto sharing" in the forums or Google you'll see a LOT of people have the same needs.
http://www.google.com/search?q=iphoto+sharing
*My Humble Suggestion...*
How do I think iPhoto should work? You should have an option of establishing a "Master iPhoto Library". Either locally to share among users of the same computer or on the network for users to share between multiple computers. Whatever photos are added to a user's iPhoto Library may optionally be merged into the Master Library for all to see/edit etc. If the user wants they can move them to the Master or copy them (to retain their own version for editing as they see fit). They may also copy from the Master to their local library if they have a MacBook and want to take them on the go...
If Apple truly wants to provide a digital "hub" for it's users, they must provide this sort of sharing for their services. Families share contacts, photos, calendars, movies and music. This concept should be applied to iTunes, Address Book, iCal, Aperture etc.
+If you agree with this or have any of your own ideas please post here and PLEASE let Apple know+ ==> http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
*Some forum posts/articles on suggested iPhoto Library sharing workarounds...*

By all means make a feature request. Absolutely nothing will change unless you do.
But some points to ponder:
As I often point out when this one comes up, averaged out of the cost of iLife, iPhoto is a $16 application. For that you get a lot - and with a bit of work, you can even do much of what you want to do - but you don't get everything.
There are apps that will do as you want. They start around the $200 mark.
As to specifics:
You should have an option of establishing a "Master iPhoto Library".
Easily done.
Either locally to share among users of the same computer
Put it in the Users/Shared Folder.
or on the network for users to share between multiple computers
Go out an buy a NAS device. Put the iPhoto Library on a disk image formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) stored on the NAS. On a NAS it will not require another computer to be available. You might even be able to put in an USB HD attached to an Airport device.
Whatever photos are added to a user's iPhoto Library may optionally be merged into the Master Library for all to see/edit etc.
You can do this - along with all versions, metadata etc - with iPhoto Library Manager.
If the user wants they can move them to the Master or copy them (to retain their own version for editing as they see fit).
You can do that with either iPhoto Library Manager or basic iPhoto Sharing.
They may also copy from the Master to their local library if they have a MacBook and want to take them on the go...
Ditto.

TD
ps. Some of these links are well out of date. For instance, with iPhoto 09 there is no longer a need to manipulate ACLS to share Libraries. One of those links is labelled "10.4 only" and you need a minimum of 10.5.6 for iPhoto 09.

I have my iTunes library on my home PC, which is linked to my iPad 2 for music etc. I also have an iPhones 4S, which I would also like to pick up the music from my library, is this possible ?

Hello chickenrob,
Indeed, this can be done with Home Sharing. The article linked below details how to set it up.

SSD/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist Resets After Editing

Hello,
After editing the SSD/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist to fix an issue with my ColorSync profiles (Unable to change profile on external monitor) I lose the settings when I reboot. Here's a more detailed description.
I have an error in Settings - Displays: Can't Callibrate the Display: The factory profile for the display could not be found.
I've been looking for the solution for quite some time.
I installed Mountain Lion to a partition I created inside my SSD and copied all the files over from a fresh install to an external hard drive.
After digging around I found that there's a problem inside my .GlobalPreferences.plist file (Not User, but SSD/Library)
I figured out how to edit the file by either 1) Enabling the root account or 2) Changing the permissions on the folder /Library/Preferences
While looking at the .GlobalPreferences file from the fresh install I can copy the mntr settings to the correct one (Detecting my Acer H233H display) and it works. Until I reboot that is. Then the edits are lost.
I'm not sure why the file isn't saving the state after I edit. I am changing the permissions back to their defaults before I reboot. (Could that be it?)
I have a lot of custom software, plugins etc for work that are very difficult the reinstall. I am trying to avoid that if possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

EDIT:
Just tried to edit the file & leave the permissions on SSD/Library/Preferences to User Read, Write, Execute while I rebooted and it still resets to the wrong settings...
That is:
1. I edit the file and it works correctly
2. After I reboot the file resets to the default and I lose the edits and my monitor looks horrible.

Does anyone know how or if even possible to block stations and limit content on iTunes Radio?

Does anyone know how or if even possible to block stations and limit content on iTunes Radio? I have younger children listening to inappropriate music. I have the iPad locked down but that doesn't seem to help.

Thank you for your response! I just don't want to spend more time on beautifying the libsyn page via hours of dumpster diving for code hence reaching out on here about iWeb (even if it's sadly been put out to pasture). This was the response that I got from Libsyn about this:
Hello,
Thanks for contacting us. Just to clarify, our system's blog page templates are basic 'starting points' -- we're working now to improve our basic blog page templates to make more options available to Libsyn users.
You might be able to use your Libsyn show's RSS feed to generate content on an iWeb page. You could do a Google search for 'convert RSS to HTML' to learn more. Here's a link for more info about generating HTML content from an RSS feed source:
http://www.blogtips.org/free-rss-tools/
We appreciate your feedback and suggestions. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Any thoughts? Btw, if it possible to 'view source code' for an iWeb page that's created or to take html code and plaster it into an iWeb page? If that's possible then I might be able to use iWeb for Libsyn.

Library sharing troubles

Greetings, community!
We have a troubles with MSL 2024 sharing between two physical DPM 2012 R2 servers.
After step SetSharedDPMDatabase -DatabaseName DPM01\MSSQLSERVER\DPMDB_DPM01 -DoNotMoveData by this GUIDE
http://flemmingriis.com/data-protection-manager-2012-r2-fiber-channel-tape-sharing-with-a-side-of-install-part-2/
our Library-Client DPM server console fall in crash with error:
And then:
We have no Errors in Application and System Logs.
Maybe somebody seen same errors?

Hi,
This can happen if you ran the client side libray sharing commands on LCS server itself to enable
library sharing - this is wrong. This resulted in all the DPM SQL Stored procedures to be modified and point to itself and that causes the exception.
To resolve this problem, you will need to run commands to remove the client sharing on the LCS Server, then disable and re-enable tape library sharing on all the Client DPM Servers.
On the LCS DPM Server
From an administrative command prompt, run the following commands to undo the SQL Stored procedure changes associated with the client side sharing that causes the crash:
SetSharedDPMDatabase -removedatabasesharing
AddLibraryServerForDPM -dpmserverwithlibrary <LCS_FQDN> -remove (Use a fictitious server name
here)
The above commands will resolve the Console crash on the LCS Server. However, that also caused all the client DPM Server consoles to start crashing with the following popup when starting the DPM Console.
Microsoft .NET Framework
   Unhandled exception has occurred in a
component in your application.
   If you click Continue, the application will
ignore this error and attempts to
   continue.
    DLS Error:
SP='dbo.prc_Global_MM_Drive_GetReservationlevel'
Error=5001
You now have to disable and re-enable library sharing by running the following on all DPM Client servers.
On all DPM Client server(s)
Run the following commands to disable tape library sharing on the client:
SetSharedDPMDatabase -removedatabasesharing
AddLibraryServerForDPM -dpmserverwithlibrary <LCS_FQDN> -remove
Followed by these commands to re-enable library sharing on the client:
AddLibraryServerForDPM -dpmserverwithlibrary <LCS_FQDN>
SetSharedDPMDatabase -Instancename <LCS_FQDN>\MSDPM_INSTANCE_NAME
