Setting network name for shared music...

How do I set the name of my shared music so it doesn't say somenting stupid like "Joe Blow's Music"?

iTunes Preferences > General > look for Shared Name at the bottom of the page. Name it whatever you like.

Necessary to have the same wireless network name for using WDS?

I have set up two Airports in WDS mode. I did this so my ps3 could get on the internet via ethernet (its an older model, and doesn't have wireless, so you have to use an ethernet bridge). I set up the WDS fine, and my Airport extreme base station (the square one) is the WDS main, while as my old Airport extreme (snow) is the remote, which I use to run a cable from to my ps3 to access the internet. This works fine when I have the network names for each base station the same.
I was under the impression that you could have two different named wireless networks for two base stations (i.e .they have different names), as long as you have the MAC addresses set up correctly for the WDS settings (i.e. main and remote). However, when I do that, I can no longer access the ethernet from the remote base station on my PS3. I can only access the ethernet via my PS3 if I have the wireless network for each base station literally named the same. Seems kind of strange if you have the MAC addresses set up correctly for the main and remote, as shouldn't they be talking to each other via that mode, and not the actual wireless network name?
I would like to have each base station with its own wirelss network name, so I can differentiate between them. I get some strange issues when my airport card scans, it frequently switches between base stations, and this slows down certain programs (i.e. VPN connections for mail etc).
I set this up pretty literally from the airport guide from the apple site.

No that is not correct. Since the 2 are working together to create a single wireless network, they must use the same network name.

Arris CM820 - Change Wireless Network Name for Arris CM820

Hi-How do I change the wireless network name for Arris CM820? The support page lists many other kinds of modems but not this one. Thanks. Hardware: Mac OSX 10.9.95

The AirPort Express is exactly what you need, but when you attach it to a cable modem, you need to power cycle the modem to pickup the MAC address of the new device.
I suggest you do a full reset of the AirPort by pressing the reset button on it for over 30 seconds, power down the modem, connect the modem to the AirPort, then power up everything, then use the AirPort utility to configure the AirPort and your wi-fi settings from scratch. If everything's good, then the LED on the AirPort will be green and you will have connectivity.
One warning, if you have 105 service from Comcast, the Express will limit your speeds to 90 or so as it has a 10/100 WAN / LAN ports. For 105 speeds and higher you would need a AirPort Extreme.

Need insight for setting up permissions for sharing an external hd via OS X 10.6?

Hello intelligent lifeforms,
My supervisor and friend passed away a little over a year ago, and I am now trying to fill his shoes as the networking guru and could use some assistance. I'm trying to share an external hard drive that is connected to my Mac Pro OS X 10.6 workstation with a Mac Pro OS X 10.4 workstation user. I've tried setting up a Sharing Only account in my System Preferences-Accounts for the 10.4 user, and under System Preference-Sharing I turned File Sharing: On, added the Shared Folder, added the User and set priveleges as "Read Only." My intentions are for the 10.4 user to only be able to copy files from the external hard drive so as to protect the archived files being stored there from being tampered with. However, there is a User group listed as "Everyone" that I can't remove and believe it is taking precedence over the 10.4 account that I setup. I do not know where this Everyone group originated from but believe it to be some kind of default group and a major obstacle.
When the 10.4 user copies a folder from the external hd to his workstation and later copies it to a volume on our Xserve OS X 10.2 the folder shows that I do not have privileges to do anything to the folder (there is a red circle with a minus sign in it on the folder icon). Eventually, I am to backup these files to the external hd where lies my dilemma.
The volume on the Xserve being copied to is setup under Workgroup Manger-Sharing-Share Points-General: "Share this item and its contents" IS checked, Owner: admin-Read & Write, Group: staff-Read & Write (where said user has been added to the staff group), Everyone: none (I do not think the Everyone group listed on the server has anything to do with the Everyone group on my machine?), Enable disk quotas on this volume is NOT checked.
My tests show that the permissions are being carried over from the external hd Everyone group (Read Only) because even when the 10.4 user's permissions are set to Read & Write in System Preferences-Sharing-File Sharing-Users the folder still shows to be Read Only when it's copied. I've even tried setting his Desktop privileges to Read & Write hoping that when he copies the folder the permissions would be overwritten. Unfortunately, the only way to give me priveleges is for the 10.4 user to change them manually through Get Info from his workstation. This is counterproductive to the workflow I'm trying to establish. I've tried wrapping my brain around the flowchart of coordinating permissions/privileges between the different machines but to no success.
Also, a note to add is I've observed a User: Firebird Database that is listed under System Preferences-Sharing on both of our workstations. It cannot be removed either and I do not know where it is originating from.
Is there anyone out there that has any insight to this situation?
Perplexed,
carl_prepress

"Everyone" is not a Group.
Every file has underlying Access settings for System, Owner, Group, and World.
Access settings for Everyone mean everyone-else that is not explicitly mentioned in the other settings. It is the same as the Unix "World".
If you set the Priviledges for a file to Everyone=Read, then any user with any credentials can read it.
The User Categories Owner, Group, and Everyone
You can assign standard POSIX access permissions separately to three categories of users:
Owner—A user who creates a new item (file or folder) on the file server is its owner and automatically has Read & Write permissions for that folder. By default, the owner of an item and the server administrator are the only users who can change its access privileges (allow a group or everyone to use the item). The administrator can also transfer ownership of the shared item to another user.
Note: When you copy an item to a drop box on an Apple file server, ownership of the item doesn’t change, but only the owner of the drop box or root has access to its contents.
Group—You can put users who need the same access to files and folders into group accounts. Only one group can be assigned access permissions to a shared item. For more information on creating groups, see the user management guide.
Everyone—Everyone is any user who can log in to the file server: registered users and guests. Hierarchy of Permissions
If a user is included in more than one category of users, each of which has different permissions, these rules apply:
• GrouppermissionsoverrideEveryonepermissions.
• OwnerpermissionsoverrideGrouppermissions.
For example, when a user is both the owner of a shared item and a member of the group assigned to it, the user has the permissions assigned to the owner.

Wired vs. Wireless network visability to shared music on a NAS

I have upgraded to 10.2.1.1 iTunes, I am running a wired network in my home that also has a WAP connected for my wireless devices. The issue is, when connected to the wireless I can see my shared music that resides on my NAS in iTunes. If I connect my laptop to the wired network, the share disappears.
Why is this?

As a client OS X supports the major two VPN protocols, PPTP and L2TP over IPSec. As a server technically OS X supports both of these too but the difference is this sort of thing was more aimed at OS X Server so there is no nice GUI to work with.
Of course I wouldn't have suggested this if there wasn't a nicer solution at hand. I'm sure there are others too but what I know works (as I use it) is [iVPN|http://macserve.org.uk/projects/ivpn>, essentially a GUI wrapper to the already installed daemons. As far as performance goes it's dependent on both your connection at home and the connection wherever you are but then that would also be the case if trying to access the NAS remotely anyway. I'd also guess this will result in a safer connection too as the file sharing protocols you're using probably aren't concerned about encryption.
The only thing I'd say is I do believe there are issues if both the home network and the place you are at are both using the same private IP range, assuming both locations are behind a router. The reason being if both use the same range how can your machine know when you mean one network and not the other. Careful selection of the IP range at home though can minimise this by choosing a non-standard private IP range. So a lot of home routers, the majority I've come into contact with anyway use 192.168.0.xxx or 192.168.1.xxx. The entire 10.xxx.xxx.xxx though, assuming the router allows you to do so is open and if you pick something in the upper half the chances of both places doing the same has to be very slim.

Setting Display Name for sent emails

Hi All,
I want to set a display name for sent emails. For example: when I send emails using [email protected] and after receivign this amil in my inbox it says from [email protected] Is there any way that I can show display name for this like Kartik <[email protected]>.
is there any API by which I can set this display name? Or this has to be done on mail server?
Any help would be appreciated!!
Thanks, Kartik

it asks for a attribute messageFrom and passes it to SMTPTransport. I have tried setting different values for messageFrom like
messageFrom=Test Email
messageFrom="Test Email"
but it didn't work for me. it expects a domain name there (even if its dummy) like
messageFrom=[email protected]
Can you tell me at which place InternetAddress is been called by SMTPTransport so that I can write my own impl for it.

Sync iPod with iTunes - reduce network bandwidth for iTunes music folder

I'm using a network drive for my iTunes music folder. Average bandwidth is 50Mbps, compared to, say, an external USB HDD with hi-speed USB bandwidth of 750Mbps.
For some reason iTunes needs to consult the files in the iTunes music folder when syncing an iPod. That is, it needs to access the music files even when there is no change and no files actually need copying from the music folder to the iPod.
Because iTunes is reading my music files, it's really slowing down a sync.
How do I get iTunes only to look at my music folder when there's a file to copy. Reading each file just for a sync is consuming resources and I can't see that it's necessary - iTunes knows what is in my music folder as it has the library xml file stored locally on the PC hosting iTunes.
Anyone have any advice here ?
Thanks.
PS have posted this Q twice before with no replies. Hopefully yet another paraphrase to make the question more relevant with get some help from a kind soul out there.
Here's a link to my previous post(s): http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=802961

On my Mac, if the external drive with iTunes library is not connected, it will error out and ask if I want to keep looking for the files.
I'm using a network drive for my iTunes music folder. Average bandwidth is 50Mbps
Why so slow? Is it wireless? What kind of connection is it?
iTunes also wants to know if there is a file to delete or if there is a file that has changed.
an external USB HDD with hi-speed USB bandwidth of 750Mbps
USB 2.0 theoretical max speed is 480Mbit/s. Realistic max speed is ~60% of that.
iTunes knows what is in my music folder as it has the library xml file stored locally on the PC hosting iTunes.
iTunes does not use the library.xml file. It is simply created for other applications to access iTUnes library.

ExprHow to set default name for Express VI

I have created an express and when I drag drop the express in block diagram, I am getting a name "A1". What should I do to set a default name (for example "B") for my express VI? I tried updating the Window title properties of the source VI.
Thanks in advance.

Hello diademi!
Select the menu 'Einstellungen' / 'Optionen' / 'Allgemeines...'. You get the dialog 'Allgemeine Einstellungen'. Click on the button 'Kompatibilität...'. In the dialog 'Kompatibilität' you have the flag 'Sprachunabhängige Ergebniskanalnamen in ANALYSIS' where you can set the behaviour. If you press Ctrl+A and paste in a text editor you can see that it is variable CompResChnNaming.

Multiple listings for Shared Music

I have 2 users on an iMac both sharing their music library.
Both users appear several times in each others "Shared Music" list. It seems that every time the computer is put to sleep and then woken up again the user is added to the "Shared Music" again, so I end up with around 10 listings for the same user.
Only solution so far is quitting iTunes.
Any suggestions what might cause this? (iTunes 6.0.5. on 10.4.7)
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Not having that problem with 3.0 on my Touch (2G). Did you check the Album Artist field to make sure they're consistent for all albums by the artist? How about Disk number and Number of Disks?

How to get Virtual Network name for Virtual Machine in Azure PowerShell?

I want to know what Virtual Network name is for specific Virtual Machine.
How can I get this through Azure PowerShell?

If this is SCVMM (since SCVMM has things called 'virtual networks') you would:
$vm = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name foo
$vm.virtualNetworkAdapters will display the VM network adapter objects. Each VM Network Adapter object has a "VM Network" and a "Logical Network" property.
So you can walk the chain of objects.

Different network name for Express and Extreme

I extend wifi range from Extreme by using Express. It works and the wifi network name is the same (so any devices can connect to wifi with same credential).
Can I change the wifi network name of Express (different than wifi name of Extreme)? Since express supports up to 10 devices so I will only let some devices connect to Express's range.
Thanks.

Unfortunately, Carolyn Samits advice will only allow you to change the Base Station or "device" name of your AirPort routers.......not change the name of the wireless network.
I extend wifi range from Extreme by using Express
If the AirPort Express connects to the AirPort Extreme using a wireless connection, then you cannot change the wireless network name on either device and have the network extend.
However, if you have the AirPort Express connected to the AIrPort Extreme using a wired Ethernet connection.....and you are extending that way.....then you can change the name of the wireless network on either the AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme.
Please post back to clarify how you have the AirPort Express configured to 'extend"......wireless or Ethernet.

Display name for shared mailbox

Hi, by our customer I just installed new exchange 2013 server. I have created severalls shared mailboxes. And now, the customer want, that when somebody from the company send, or answer to an email, the recipient can see how has send the email. For example,
the shared mailbox has display name "Service", user who has full access to this shared mailbox has display name "John", is there any way to merge these display names, so the recipient can see for expample "Service - John" as sender
of the email?
Thanks

Hi,
From your description, you want to set the displayname of the shared mailbox. I have a test in my lab, you can run the following cmdlet to achieve it.
Set-User -Identity xxx -DisplayName "xxx"
About the Identity parameter, you can use alias of the shared mailbox.
Hope it helps.

My MBP 13" stopped showing up on network available for sharing !!

It was working but now has stopped. I went into preferences > sharing and tried all kinds of permutations/combinations.
I can clearly see my MBP 15" in another room connected ON my MBP 13" but not the other way around. It just won't show up on the side bar of my other computer for screen sharing, etc.
Any suggestions? I did reboot, verfied/repaired permissions, etc. Again, thanks for any other things to share.
Hope all had a great holiday..

How to set the name for an 'unknown' file extension?

Specifics:
I have various file extensions that are recognized by my mac. I would like to know how to create a list of applications that can open it so I do not get a 'There is no Default Application to open this file' error. I would also like to be able to give these file extensions names recognized by the mac.
Just like .txt is a "Textedit Document" and .html is a "HTML Document," I'd like to be able to change the name and assosication of a file and give it its own .icns if possible.
As for the default applications, I know how to set a default application. However, if a mac does not recognize a file extension, adding a new default application to run the file wil actually erase the old one, which is a big pain, especially when your file can be opened with ANY text editor.
I understand that this may involve hacking into the operating system's databases, but if anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Timo,
My jdev version is 10.1.3.3.0, this is for R12. By PR i mean to say process request and PFR process form request in the controller.
In the Process request of the controller, i am finding the checkbox bean and assigning the firepartialaction for it.
Later in the process form request for the fired event, i am trying to handle the rendered property of the messagetextinput. Is this a right approach?
my code below
public void processRequest(OAPageContext oapagecontext, OAWebBean oawebbean)
super.processRequest(oapagecontext, oawebbean);
OAApplicationModule oaapplicationmodule = oapagecontext.getApplicationModule(oawebbean);
OAMessageCheckBoxBean oamessagecheckboxbean = (OAMessageCheckBoxBean)oawebbean.findChildRecursive("X_FLAG");
if(oamessagecheckboxbean != null)
oapagecontext.writeDiagnostics(this, "Message check box Bean found:", 1);
FirePartialAction firepartialaction = new FirePartialAction("change");
oamessagecheckboxbean.setAttributeValue(PRIMARY_CLIENT_ACTION_ATTR, firepartialaction);
oamessagecheckboxbean.setFireActionForSubmit("change", null, null, true);
oapagecontext.writeDiagnostics(this, "setting fire event", 1);
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext oapagecontext, OAWebBean oawebbean)
super.processFormRequest(oapagecontext, oawebbean);
oapagecontext.writeDiagnostics(this, "Inside Process Form Request", 1);
if("change".equals(oapagecontext.getParameter(OAWebBeanConstants.EVENT_PARAM)))
OAMessageTextInputBean bean = (OAMessageTextInputBean)oawebbean.findChildRecursive("X_NUMBER");
if(bean!=null){
bean.setRendered(Boolean.TRUE);}

How to set Alias name for URL or change URL..

Hi:
I am using Apache Tomcat as web server, it contains multiple web applications.
Url for one of this application is, e.g. http://localhost:8080/myapplication. This particular url work fine.
But i want to use only mypage word instead of all the above url.
So how to set or map this?
Thank You,
Anup Desai.

Thank you.
I tried to set the displayname (using setPersonal function)
Still its not working.
I feel it is because during authentication we give the login name (which is taken as the display name).
Is there any way to change without touching configuration level properties in exchange server 2007.
thanks in advance
