Need basic instructions to enable XP machine to share Vista iTunes

iTunes is running fine on my new Vista desktop. However, my XP laptop cannot see the iTunes on Vista so I cannot play my music in other rooms using my wireless network. Is there a basic tutorial for setting up my Vista and XP machines to enable this?
Thx.

Simply enable the SMB server in workgroup manager. Unless you customized your share points, they will automatically be available via the SMB protocol as well as the AFP protocol. With the service active, test from your Mac with:
1: in Finder, go to the Go menu and choose Connect to Server
2: in the address box type: smb://<ipor_host_name_ofserver>
3: press connect
Can you connect to your shares from the Mac? If so, then do this on Windows.
1: Open the My Computer window
2: From the Tools menu select Map Network Drive
3: You can try to hit the browse button to find the server and the share or you can
a: select a drive letter
b: define the network path like
\\<ipor_host_name_ofserver>\share name
c: click the connect as different user link and put in the users credentials
d: leave the box checked for connect at login
That should get you want you want with little extra work. If you are running an Open Directory Master on your OS X Server, you can go further and join the Windows system to the domain for centralized user management. Not sure if that is a priority for you. You may only care about the share point access.
Hope this helps

  • Gimp Newbie Needs Basic Instructions in Formatting Stills for FCP

    Sorry if this is redundant or too basic for the forum, but I'm new to Gimp (and honestly, photo editing in general) and need some basics. Tutorials, links, etc appreciated.
    My question... In Photoshop, I can select a pixel aspect ratio that gives me the option of DV, widescreen, anamorphic, and others. Is there a similar feature in Gimp? If not, is there a process that you are using to prepare high resolution still photos for importing into FCP?
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    *** is Gimp?
    Anyway, I don't prepare hi-res, medium-res or even low-res photos for FCP. I import them and drop 'em on the Timeline (FCP will automatically scale them to Sequence and correct pixel aspect). Once I have them in FCP I can see how they look on an external TV monitor. After viewing them there, if they need any PS adjustments, I right-click on it in the Timeline and choose "Open in Editor" (Photoshop is set as my default still image editor in FCP preferences).
    If adjustments are needed, it's typically rotation, contrast*, color balance*, fixing areas of the image that might cause morie patterns on a TV, etc. When I'm done in PS, I save the changes and close the image and jump back over to FCP where the changes were automatically updated to the image on the Timeline.

    * = can also be done right in FCP with the 3-Way Color Corrector

  • Do I need basic cable to use the MLB package purchased through itunes to use on my Apple TV?

    I would like to purchase the MLB package through itunes to use on my Apple TV. Do I need to have basic cable in order to watch it on the tv like some of the other apps require?

    Yes sorry, I can see that from your question title.  Are you in the US? Ifv so movie redownloads should be available, but I believev some studios aren't onboard.
    In iTunes, go to the Store home page - on the right in Quick Links is there a Purchased/Purchases section? If so check if you can download the movies from there.
    If you can't see them go to expresslane.apple.com and raise a support ticket for iTunes store, asking them to enable download via iTunes.

    Can anyone help me connect my Macbook Air to a SAMSUNG TV.  When I follow the basic instructions (Thunderbolt to HDMI connection) the screen on my computer goes grey and an error message appears inviting me to press any button to restart the Macbook.  When I do this nothing happens.  Only when I disconnect the computer from the TV does the Macbook allow me to login. The TV does not receive any signal from the Macbook even though I know the HDI port works fine.  Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?  Do I need to enable something on the Macbook?

    An update...
    I downloaded Apple's (rather large!) list of software updates today, and I was finally able to recognize my iPod again. I did a restore using the iPod updater from 06-2006, and all seemed to work OK. (I'm afraid to try the new one again!)
    Then I tried to re-load my music library from iTunes, and got stuck. It froze up after a while and wouldn't go any further.
    When I disconnected my iPod from my computer, I find 2 podcasts and nothing else, though iTunes told me it had transferred 600+ songs. Those 2 podcasts do play fine, and the basic iPod software all seems to be intact.
    So -- anyone get through this connection problem and have any ideas to share??

  • Is it possible to change the read/write permissions on a time machine back-up of iTunes? I need to restore it, but old version is locked....

    Is it possible to change the read/write permissions on a time machine back-up of iTunes? I'm needing to restore it as my phone deleted half our playlists during sync  & am not seeing a way to unlock the permissions. I have the current version unlocked, but can't seem to get the backed-up version. When I click on restore I get a pop-up that says iTunes can't be deleted as it is part of the OS. I'm not even trying to delete, just restore the old version. Any suggestions?

    Hmmm, ok I'll give it a shot. I've always had the iTunes sync w/ my phone set up to only load selected playlists to the phone b/c there's a lot more in iTunes than I have room or desire for on my phone. A few months back I started having trouble w/ trying to sync everything & subsequently adding more to the phone than it could hold. The quickest thing at the time was to unclick the sync music option in iTunes so I could still backup the phone to the computer & not have a problem.
    When I asked about it during one-to-one session shortly after, they advised me to delete the music off my phone & then re-sync it to the computer, run a backup of the phone & redownload the music to the phone. When I tried this it ended up deleting all my playlists (but not my husband's) from iTunes. Irritating, but I've been rebuilding the playlists since. I had also unclicked sync music again & an Apple person told me the most likely best fix was to delete & reload iTunes completely.
    A few days ago I realized I hadn't backed up the phone to the computer in over a month so after deleting & reinstalling iTunes, & w/o changing anything (sync music was STILL unchecked) I ran a backup & my phone went from having 4 GB free space to being 2 GB over capacity due to iTunes trying to download the entire music library to the phone. I made a one-to-one appt again & it was suggested AGAIN that I delete all the music off my phone & then resync it to the computer & redownload the music. We did this (though a few random songs that had previously been purchased somehow remained on the phone), I got home, connected the phone & instead of the music that shows  as 'on my device' disappearing from iTunes it just sat there, so, as the guy had told me I MIGHT have to do, I threw all those songs showing in iTunes as being on my phone, in the trash so that it was completely clear.
    At this point I checked sync music, made sure the options were 'selected playlists only', checked the ones from my own list that I wanted (I usually have one playlist of comedians from my husband's folder that I also have on the phone, but didn't check it at this point). It uploaded all my stuff just fine, but for whatever reason when it saw that I wasn't uploading that comedy playlist any longer, it not only didn't upload it but proceeded to delete my husband's entire folder of playlists from iTunes. -_- I got on the phone w/ an Apple support person right away but he wasn't able to tell me anything .. basically said we'll have to rebuild everything. I asked about the possibility of using time machine, he said he's not qualified to answer that, so that's when I started looking around online & found, among others, the link I referenced a couple replies ago.
    I hope this all makes sense. It's been a long-term issue so I'm trying to go from memory as I figured to begin w/ that I had just made a mistake somewhere, so didn't try to document anything. Now w/ it having happened a 2nd time, I'm not sure if it was 'user error' or something else.......

  • Outlook 2013 - Exchange 2013 - Prompts for username and password when EWS basic authentication is enabled

    So we have an Exchange 2013 environment, and a CRM solution that requires basic authentication to EWS internally.  Problem is, after a reboot of our Exchange server, all of our Outlook clients begin prompting for username and password (which nothing
    works) which also starts locking users AD accounts out due to failed login attempts (somehow).  If I disabled basic authentication on EWS, Outlook authenticates as normal using NTLM and there are no issues.  Once Outlook has authenticated, I can
    turn back on basic authentication, and Outlook will be fine until the next time the Exchange server is rebooted.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    According to your description, I understand that Outlook client prompted for username and password when Exchange server restart and basic authentication is enabled for EWS.
    If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
    It’s normal. This caused by the difference between basic authentication and NTML authentication:
    Basic, with any version of Outlook prior to 2010, results in a pop up dialog asking for creds. Outlook 2010 makes the 'save this password' actually work, so in an Outlook 2010 or later world, Basic can mean no need to authenticate every time you open/reconnect,
    but in all earlier versions, you will have to enter creds every time.
    NTLM, when used by a client that is domain joined and logged in with cached creds, results in the client simply sending the cached in creds to the server, resulting in what looks like a pretty seamless single sign on experience. However, if you want to do pre-authentication
    at something like TMG, and not let the traffic go all the way to CAS, you need to configure TMG for this.

  • Best way to go from HDD to SSD with basic instructions?

    I have switched over hard drives multiple times on a PC but I have never tried to do it on a Mac. I am wondering what would be the best programs to use, and roughly how would I go about it (this is where the basic instructions would come in) in Lion? I made a recovery disc with a usb but is that all I need to reinstall Lion? Do I need to specially format the SSD if I am making a copy of my previous OS as in windows? Would it be better (since I have only had the macbook for a month and there isn't alot on it) to just install the SSD and do a fresh install of Lion and reinstall all the programs?

    You can use the external case to put your old internal drive in, that way you'll have something for additional storage, or backup.
    If $10 is too much I have no further way to help you.

  • I need operating instruction for the converter!

    I Have just purchased the converter. Now I need operating instructions. Where are they?

    A time machine backup that was encrypted cannot be opened without the password.. there is no backdoor.. if you lost the password the backup is useless.
    If you mean something else.. try being explicit as to what backup you need a password for and how you think we would know it.

  • Need a script to enable in-place hold on Office 365

    Hello, I need a script to enable in-place hold on Office 365 for my users.
    The options that I have found for this so far is to enable in-place hold for a DL or an individual user. Is there a way to use a CSV instead?
    This is what I have used before.....where "allstaff" is the name of a DL.
    New-MailboxSearch -name "3 Year In-Place Hold" -SourceMailboxes allstaff -InPlaceHoldEnabled $true -ItemHoldPeriod 1095

    That doesn't seem to work.........I think it's trying to create a new hold query for every user.
