Need help sharing libraries

I am on the same network as my sister- she can see my library, but I can't see hers. How do I fix it?

Hi, rosamendoza33.
Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base.

  • Need help sharing folder on home network

    I just setup 10.4 server on a mac mini for my home. I would like to share a Public folder for the family's files and itunes on the server. I would like to have it be completely open for access by anyone in my home network. What is the best way to set this up??
    Currently I made a user "itunes" and shared Music which my XP machine and my Macs can access. But folks need a password to get into it. I want it completely non-secure. I did this via Server Admin. It almost seems easier to just share a folder via "Sharing" in Sys Prefs.
    I replaced this machine with a SuSE Linux machine just a couple days ago. It was a lot easier to share on SuSE, but I guess I'm just not used to the system yet.
    Thanks for the help.
    Tom
    PS - I posted this on the 10.5 section by mistake.

    In Tiger server you setup sharing of folders/files using he WorkGroup Manager, WGM, in Server Admin you configure the AFP and/or SMB Windows filesharing server(s) and turn them on/off.
    I don't think you can leave the password empty for SMB server access for a non guest user.
    So if you turn on guest access I think guest shared folders accessible without a password.
    Otherwise you might from Windows need to "connect as an other user" and perhaps tel Windows which machine/server should authenticate the user by entering server machinename\username or server ip\username and password (which can be very trivial like "123" or something).

  • Need help sharing Home Movies in movies not movies in photo

    I edited a video in final cut pro and now imported it through itunes into my iphone so i can airdrop to clients with their iphones.  I can not share any videos in HOME MOVIES in the video section.   I can only share videos from the photo section from the camera. and i had no sussess importing the video into the photo section.  I have been beating my head trying to find a easy way to share my videos to other iphones.   Please help.  John

    This is something you would need to check with the Sony instructions. I would have expected you to need some software provided by them to enable this (though usually they don't provide Mac-compatible software or equipment).

  • Need help sharing internet connection between pc and mac using airport

    Hello
    I have a PC with an internal modem that connects to the internet via 3g+. it's got wi-fi as my macbook.
    i want to share the internet connection of the pc via wifi (using what is called an "ad hoc" connection ( a pc to pc network)) so that the mac can connect to the pc (via wifi) and use its internet connection.
    i've already tried a bunch of things but they don't work, can someone help me or tell me where i can find a GOOD guide to do this? (i've already looked around but i haven't found anything that works)
    thanks

    Hi. I'm not sure if this helps, but I just found a nice way to do it the other ways around (share the internet from your mac with your pc).
    See: http://echeng.com/journal/2009/07/06/encrypted-internet-sharing-between-mac-os-a nd-windows-xp/
    Specifically, step 4 and 6 are crucial!:
    1. In Mac OS X, enable Internet Sharing to computers using Airport
    2. In AirPort Options, select 128-bit WEP encryption and enter a 13-character password
    3. In Windows, add a new wireless network
    4. Enter the SSID and select WEP encryption with Shared Network Authentication (not Open)
    5. Uncheck “The key is provided automatically” and enter the 13-character password
    6. In the Authentication tab, be sure that “Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication” is unchecked
    The main idea is that MAC-WEP and PC-WEP are not quite the same, so this tweak makes them line up. Perhaps you can do it the other way around from PC to MAC by sort of reversing the idea?
    Hope that helps you!

    I know if I select the "Advance" tab instead of the "WINS" tab and then select Windows from the dropdown window it provides an option for me to use SMB//
    Yes, that is correct. The SMB URL can be one of the following:
    smb://computername/printer_sharename
    or
    smb://workgroup/computername/printer_sharename
    - this can be used when the Mac is on a different workgroup to the PC sharing the printer
    or
    smb://ipaddress/printer_sharename
    - this can be helpful as it doesn't rely on LM announce to find a computer
    The last key to this setup is to use a driver that will support a cross-platform connection. Some drivers only work with direct USB connections, so you may have to look at using a CUPS-based driver like those offered by Gutenprint.

  • Need help managing libraries

    Here's my problem - I have different libraries for my personal stuff & music I play at my restaurant. I manage (meaning add to and delete from) separate files on my home computer (one personal, one restaurant). Unfortunately, my computer at the restaurant is an older iMac running an older version of iTunes and doesn't recognize my library file from iTunes 7.0.2, and I've made the mistake of creating my restaurant song database by starting with my personal stuff, from which I deleted many, many items I don't want played at the restaurant - but not by permanently deleting them! So, while at home, looking using the restaurant iTunes data in 7.0.2, everything is how I want it, but loading it all on the older computer at the restaurant, it now shows all the files including those I don't want in the library that I removed from the library but did not permanently delete. In other words, the restaurant computer can't read my library file so I've got tons of stuff I don't want appearing! What can I do about this (without having to buy a new computer at the restaurant - FYI I was told the G3 iMac I'm using at the restaurant can't run Tiger, hence my problem). Is there an easy fix?
    I'm hoping there's a way to simply export or duplicate only the songs in my library, thereby getting rid of all the deleted stuff that is still there and not wanted.

    See if you can get iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild the problem library as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. Report back on how long it took and how many photos you have in the library so we can give other users an idea of how long it may take.
    It will leave the original library untouched in case the result are not what you expected.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Need help consolidating libraries

    Hello all,
    Here's the question:
    I have two older computers, both of which have limited hard drive space left. My Compaq desktop is being retired after I transfer my extensive music collection to my new Ipod Mini-over 2 GB. My other laptop (IBM thinkpad) holds about 800gig of music files. My questions are:
    1. How can I continue to buy music and add files to my Ipod on the laptop without storing them all on the laptop's hard drive.
    2. What is the easiest way to transfer the MP3 files from the desktop into the Ipod?
    Or another way-how do I transfer all my MP3 files into the Ipod-without having them on either computer-and still be able to use the laptop to buy new music and keep the Ipod updated?
    Thanks for the assistance!

    Hi Larry,
    iDVD cares for LENGTH, not size; video-dvds use a different compressor then mini-dv; 8Gb means, your project isn't longer then a little more 30minutes... that fits easy onto a video-dvd done with iDVD, which accepts video up to 120minutes.... ok, 115 minutes, to be on the safe side.....
    don't care for export/expert settings: simply drag your project into an open iDVD project; or use the iDVD button..........
    or.......
    is your question "how to place a 30min video onto a cd-r?" then, for convenience reasons, you should invest in Toast which is able to create SVCD/VCD formatted video-cds......

  • Need help with shared hyperlinks

    I need help understanding the shared hyperlink option when creating hyperlinks in InDesign CS5 (Mac) and how to change a shared hyperlink destination.
    I want to build a document that contains hyperlinks to files on the client’s server. The end use is to make a PDF in which the client can click on a hyperlink and it opens (for example) a Word document or another PDF on their server. When I started the project, I thought I would create shared hyperlinks because a single server document would be referred to by several links scattered through the InDesign document I was building.
    From the Hyperlink palette fly-out menu I chose New Hyperlink, then Link To: File from the dropdown, and I clicked the Shared Hyperlink option, and then OK to close the window. I export the InDesign file as a print PDF, and the hyperlinks work.
    Now I need to change the file paths, because the client moved their files to a new location. When I re-open the hyperlink in the Hyperlink palette by double clicking on it, the Edit Hyperlink window opens but it shows my link as:
    Link To: Shared Destination (rather than File)
    And the destination box underneath shows:
    Document: [my document name]
    Name [the file path I put in]
    However, this link is not editable. I don’t understand why InDesign does this on its own.
    I realize now that it was not necessary to tick the shared option when I built the hyperlink. Is there a way (a script? another method?) that I can remove the shared nature of the hyperlinks so that when I go to edit them they show as links to files (Link to: File, not Link to: Shared Destination) with a live Destination Path box where I can edit the link?
    (If anyone tries to help with a script, note that my document also contains other hyperlinks to internet URLs and emails that I don’t want to disturb.)
    Thanks for your consideration.

    Well. I do feel sort of bait-and-switched, but...
    I want to get the links back to the point where double clicking on the hyperlink name (number) in the Hyperlink palette opens an Edit Hyperlink dialog where the destination is Link to: File and the file path shows up in the File Path box as an editable string. Just the way I made them in the first place.
    It's good that you're comfortable editing the IDML.
    If you compare links made both ways in the IDML, the only distinction between the Shared and the not Shared seems to be the hidden attribute of the <HyperlinkURLDestination/> tag.
    Allegedly you cannot edit this in Javascript (though you could, I suppose, create a new HyperlinkURLDestination with all the same properties and then chang eeach hyperlink to point to it).
    But editing it in the IDML works fine. Open designmap.xml and change the Hidden="false" to Hidden="true". Of course, you only want to do that in the <HyerplinkURLDestination/> tags...
    Something about this seems fishy to me, so you might want to verify it yourself in a single case before you put too much effort in. But I think it's right.

  • HT2688 I just want to know where to find the shared libraries on the new iTunes. These articles are a million years old, and are of no help.

    I just want to know where to find my shared libraries on the stupid new iTunes. The layout was fine before, but when they changed it, I can't seem to find them. The articles on Apple are a million years old, before the latest iTunes update, so they are no help. Thanks.

  • Help with Shared Libraries?

    I don't have a "Look for Shared Libraries" under Preferences >  Sharing (which the other two computers in my home do have), all I have is the  "Shared Libraries" under Preferences > General > Sources (which  this is checked).  I have uninstalled iTunes and then installed it again, this did not work.  The other two computers in my home are running off of Windows XP, but the trouble computer is running off of Windows Vista.  Not sure if this could be the problem. Please help.

    krysto wrote:Yes, I have used pacman before to install software, but what if I want to contribute to the development of a project?
    Usually when you are developing software you don't install the package every time you compile it. You just make sure that you can run it from the location where you compiled it. That way you can keep the latest stable version that you can use for leisure time and the development version for testing. Also for contributing to a project you should directly interact with the project's repository (svn, git, ...). So I refer back to my first post here where the PKGBUILD can give you an idea how to go about compiling the source code yourself.
    Just don't run "make install" because that will leave your system in a messy state, a simple "make" (with the proper configuration) should result in a locally build binary that you can run from where it was compiled.

    The home sharing is now off and still has all the songs one there. Even rebooted the wifi modem, supporting hard drives and all computer involved in this catastrophe!! :( all computer are all updated and updated to the new iTunes.
    Please any help would be greatly appreciated and any more questions welcome. Thanks

    Basically anything not purchased from iTunes that is on my iPhone 6 will not sync over to my MacBook. I have tried to just manually back it up but only the purchased music will sync over to iTunes.
