Problem with automatic downloads on multiple computers with shared storage

I have a main Windows computer I use to rip my CD's, download Digital Copies from DVD's, buy iTunes movies, and sync my iPhone/iPad. My iTunes library points to a shared location on a MediaSmart Windows Home Server as "\\mediasmart\itunes\music". I have turned on automatic downloads on this computer so it downloads music/apps/books if I buy something on one of my other devices.
I also have iTunes installed on the above mentioned MediaSmart Windows Home Server to serve content to my Apple TV's throughout the house and I point the iTunes library to the same location as the above Windows computer - which is local to the MediaSmart server - as "d:\itunes\music". I do this because the main Windows computer is also used as the main system for the house - quicken, AnyDVD, etc. and I don't want to impact performance on that computer if I decide to watch a movie on one of my Apple TV's. Anyway, to avoid having to manually copy music and books to the MediaSmart server, I enabled Automatic Downloads. In short, it works as advertised. Now, if I buy a song on the main Windows computer it gets automatically downloaded to the MediaSmart server and added to the iTunes library in the Purchased playlist - which is exactly where I want it to go. However, I just noticed last night that I now have multiple copies of those songs that are "Automatically Downloaded".
As an example, on the main Windows Computer I recently bought the song Gasoline. It was placed in a folder named "\\mediasmart\itunes\music\kicking harold" and the song was named "01 gasoline.mp4". Then....within a few minutes the MediaSmart iTunes automatically downloaded the song Gasoline and placed it in "d:\itunes\music" BUT named the song "01 gasoline 1.mp4". I figured iTunes would be smart enough to actually check for the physical song before re-downloading it and creating another copy of it.
Is there anyway to fix this or some setting I am missing? I hope the above makes sense.
Thanks for any assistance.

Yes it makes sense, and no I don't think you're missing some obvious setting. I think iTunes needs to gain some optimisation in this area. For instance if I make a purchase on my iPad I see iTunes downloading an independent copy instead of letting the download complete on the iPad and then copying it over to the PC via Wi-Fi. Hopefully these issues will get tidied up as iTunes in the Cloud meets the real world, though it probably wouldn't hurt to add your feedback.

My host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

my host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

There are several possible causes for this problem.
1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local".
2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is due to a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.

TPC 2012 - Problems with shared variable

Hi,
I tried to program simmilar thing to this one http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5548 on TPC 2012. But it doesn't work.I can see that both programs on my laptop and TPC are working(I've added an additional counter with display), but I cannot see any effect on TPC when I change the value of shared variable on my laptop. I use LabView 8.6 with Touch Panel Module. My question is what are the exact steps to run such application on TPC2012? Are they the same as for TPC 2006?
I've noticed following issues:
1.I cannot deploy the program from Project Manager(there is an information that maybe TPC Service is not started. - I've found such information about TPC Service http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/DE177828D27A14A48625734E00768B66 but in fact I cannot find Start » All Programs»National Instruments » NI TPC Service » NI TPC Service Manager 1.0 Does it mean, that the TPC Service is not installed and the programm with shared varibles won't be working or can I start it somehow in another way? Do I need to have TPC service installed on TPC2012?
Until now, I've built the project and sent it through FTP to TPC(the folder was /TEMP) and then started it.
2.Ping works OK
Thank you in advance for any hints how to solve this problem.

Problem with shared objects synchoronization.

I encountered a small problem with shared objects.
I'm working on a program that creates chat rooms of a fixed
size of 30 users. When the 31th user comes, a new room is created.
The idea is that the client first connects to the first room
and checks if it's full by connecting to shared objects. If it is
full, connection is closed and process is reapeated on a new
instance of the application.
I use a function to connect to an instance, which takes as a
parameter a number (1 for instance room_1, 2 for room_2, etc). The
function itself creates the necessary Netconnection and
sharedObject objects.
If a room is full, Netconnections and sharedObjects are
closed and function is called again with another number.
I have no problem for connecting to the first room, but after
closing the first connection and connecting to the new room, there
seem to be some problems with the shared objects (especially,
OnSync doesn't seem to execute again after the connection to the
shared objects of the new instance).
I was wondering if you had any ideas what could cause this.
Is it the use of the same variable names for connecting at two
different shared objects?
Here is the function :
function initStreams(room) {
client_nc = new NetConnection();
client_nc.connect("rtmp://192.168.0.4/Elearning/room_"+room);
in_ns = new NetStream(client_nc);
in_ns2 = new NetStream(client_nc);
Replay_video.attachVideo(in_ns);
out_ns = new NetStream(client_nc);
out_ns2 = new NetStream(client_nc);
in_ns.play("my_recorded_stream");
users_name = SharedObject.getRemote("users_name",
_root.client_nc.uri, false);
users_name.connect(_root.client_nc);
users_language = SharedObject.getRemote("users_language",
_root.client_nc.uri, false);
users_language.connect(_root.client_nc);
users_picture = SharedObject.getRemote("users_picture",
_root.client_nc.uri, false);
users_picture.connect(_root.client_nc);
users_finger = SharedObject.getRemote("users_finger",
_root.client_nc.uri, false);
users_finger.connect(_root.client_nc);
I you need more info, I can post more of the code on the
forum.
Any help would be really appreciated

I don't see any onStatus events in the code you posted above.
If you're defining the onstatus event outside the function, that's
the problem. When you define the shared object, you also need to
define it's onStatus event handler.
Also, you really should wait for the onStatus event of the
netConnection before you connect your sharedObjects. If you try to
connect the SO before the netConnection is established, the SO will
never connect.

Will iCloud enable new iTunes purchases to be automatically downloaded to multiple iTunes libraries under different logins on the SAME iMac?

So I have a customer with one iMac and a user login on that iMac for each member of the family. Under each user login, iTunes is configured with the same Apple ID so any purchases are made on the one account. What they want is that no matter who purchases iTunes content from the iTunes Store, it appears in ALL their iTunes libraries. If I configure iCloud with the SAME Apple ID under each login, and tick the 3 "Automatically Download New Purchases" boxes in iTunes under each login, then will new purchases be automatically downloaded to every library when the library owner logs in? Or does iCloud only enable this functionlity based on a hardware ID, ie it will only work once per machine rather than once per user login?
There must be a simple yes/no answer to this, but it's a fair bit of work to set up a test rig so I'm hoping somebody already knows!
Thanks in advance.

Hello campin,
Congrats on your now MacBook Pro and welcome to the Apple family!
So, I'm just going to address each question directly.
1) Short answer: yes. The article "iTunes 11 for Mac: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store" goes over the process of downloading all of your previously purchased content.
2) When you plug in your device you should see that iTune will allow you to configure the syncing options for each type of content. See "iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer" for more info.
3) Automatic downloads is something that you can disable, but is enabled by default. This is also something that be different for Music and Apps. See "iTunes Store: How to enable Automatic Downloads"
It's a lot of information, but that should help you out and enjoy your new MacBook Pro!

Problem with shared column mapping

I have a problem with mapping different fields onto the same column. In most cases Kodo handles it very well but one tough case it does not
Modification references contract N-1 using contract_id field
Contract back references two modifications out of all modification owned by THIS contract (last_modification and executed_modifcation)
when both modifications are not null it works fine since I make sure both fields point to modification owned by the same contract
hovewer when I set one of the fields (executed_modifcation) to null (after it was not null) Kodo attempts to set not only executed_modifcation field to null but contract_id as well. Which obviously not desired
I understand that it is a pretty hard corner case. Do you think you can handle it or it is a dead end?
Attached are my files

Abe,
I fully agree with your analysis. In my case we can use precedence of direct
mappings over reference mapping in null situation.
However as you noted, there are cases when we have only references and so
you can not say which mapping is more important. However since we are
resolving NULL issue here, I am not sure we need to know precedence of
references - not null case should always take precedence. In other words:
priority 1: direct mapping
priority 2: not null reference
priority 3: null reference
Of course all three cases are subject rule of not changing value of shared
column
"Abe White" <[email protected]> wrote in message
news:[email protected]...
I admit that I didn't go through all your metadata, but I do believe that
3.0 final will handle this case. My plan is to implement updates such
that direct field mappings always take precedence over foreign key
mappings.
Let's say column CONTRACT_ID is used by int field contractId and is
also used by field lastModification as part of an FK to a Modification
instance (which I believe is close to your mapping). Because contractId
is a simple field rather than a foreign key, Kodo will give it the final
say on nulling/defaulting the CONTRACT_ID column. So if you null the
lasetModification field, CONTRACT_ID will retain the value of the
contractId field. Any non-null value of the lastModification field will
stilly have to jive with the contractId field, though, or else we'll
throw an exception like we do currently when you try to set 1 column to
multiple values.
I believe this solves the common case of shared
columns between direct mappings and FK mappings. There are other cases
in which multiple FK mappings overlap on certain columns, and this does
not solve nulling problems in those instances. However, I think those
cases are very rare and not worth the effort. Correct me if I'm wrong
and your situation actually is one of sharing columns between multiple
FKs and no primitives after all.

Installing PSE12 encounters problem with Shared Technologies

Solution to the "Disappearing Comments" problem with shared reviews

I've been having repeated problems with users losing their comments on shared reviews, hosted on my webDAV server. After tearing my hair out for days, I wanted to share the simple fix to this issue, plus another tip:
DON'T USE PERIODS OR SPACES IN FILE NAMES. Use hyphens and underscores instead.
Illegal characters seem to gradually corrupt the file to the point where potentially every comment can get overwritten with a blank .xml file, permanently losing all your comments.
My wish to Adobe is that they would put a pop-up warning at the time of saving a file for shared reviews, something to the effect of:
"WARNING! saving a shared file with a space or a period could result in data corruption when shared over network drives or webDAV. Do you want to replace illegal characters with underscores?"
My other tip is this:
If using a webDAV server as I am, be sure to use the IP address rather than the domain name when specifying the location of the server.

With all the issues you describe, I would search for something conflicting with Mountain Lion.
Have you booted into Safe Mode and checked to see if it works correctly there? It will take a while to boot, and it will run a bit slow, so just look for the issues you described above. If they don't appear, you've got something installed that is causing the issues.

Problems with sharing InDesign files on Windows server

Hi there. We have four designers that are working with InDesign CS5 and InCopy CS5. Three of these designers are working on Macs running OSX 10.8. The other is working on a Windows 7 machine. All of their files are stored on a Windows Server 2008 R2 file server. The problem is that whenever one of them makes updates to some files in a project and they save it, the others are unable to checkout any assignments from within either InDesign or InCopy. When they try to checkout the files to make changes, they get the following error message: "In use by Unknown in Adobe InDesign from document <file name>.indd"
The strange thing is that their files used to be stored on a Server 2003 file server and they never had any problems. But since we moved them over to this Server 2008 R2 machine I can't help but wonder if it is a problem with the server. In either case, I wanted to ask this question in here to get any opinion on what this could be.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Stefano,

Having Problems With Sharing & Permissions in Finder

I am using a Mac Mini (mid-2011) running Lion Server 10.7.4.
I have noticed lately that when I check files the Sharing & Permissions portion using Get Info on my files I find that there are two lines for each user on my compuer. The first set of lines says Read & Write which I actually selected. The second set of lines says Custom. When I check I have the list Read & Write, Read, Custom. When I try to change Custom I cam select new option No Privileges Info. For the other users I am able to delete the extra line once I select No Privileges Info. However even though I have more than one line I cannot delete the extra line for the main user. I will try and delete the extra line for the main user logged in as someone else that has what I have defined as admin privileges (reason I have more than one user).
This really concerns me because this issue is causing problems with me adding or removing files as needed in the terminal. When I try I get this funky error:
Dubious permissions on file (skipping): filename with duplicate entries for a user.
This is happening more and more even though I am not changing the file permissions that I am aware of.
Any help would be appreciated.

Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Back up all data now. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to its present state
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
sudo !!
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Next, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the Recovery screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

Problems with sharing a project from Final cut x

I have just purchased a canon Legria g10 (pal) and when I share(export) the project I get horizontal lines on the image, the raw footage looks fine in quicktime but when I edit and share it back out of Final Cut x it has the lines. Do I need to de-interlace and if so why? will I have to do this everytime I use the camera? or is the problem with settings on the camera? Any help would be greatly appriciated.
thanks in advance

Problems with shared albums

I had problem with some albums shared from other person: I did see the name of the album, but I didn't see photos.
So I decided to turn off and on the option "Condivisione foto" intending to reset the sharing system, but I lost all shared albums except "Streaming photo"
What can I do to see again my shared albums (some shared by me and some shared by others)?
OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 - iPhoto 9.6
Thanks

According to the hover over on the double arrow it indicates "Backup/Synchronization Pending". I rebooted the machine and the photoshop startup screen got stuck on the logging in photoshop.com. I launched Elements organizer and went to preferences and reset my userid and password (they haven't changed I just re-typed them). It then logged in and the sync started to work. So it was apparently not logged into photoshop.com? It would be better if it told me that it was having problems accessing photoshop.com or something like that.
