Shared Libraries with Apple OS & PCs in the same network...

We are currently in the process of updating InDesign files. Some of the InDesign users on the network are using InDesign from PC-based laptops. Others are using InDesign from Apple OS laptops. All are on Adobe CS5. One of the tasks of the rebrand is replacing a branded banner image at the top of the the layouts. We set up banner libraries with a limited number of images available which, when tested, could be shared between users. Previously all of the users were on the Apple OS platform. Some of the new users are on the PC platform. They are able to see the items when they open the library, but when they attempt to place the image on a photo layer from a PC, they have to follow a path to the location on the network and relink the image.
We're guessing its an Apple to PC problem similar to the issue of when you set up an alias in Apple OS, PCs sometimes don't recognize it.
Has anyone else had this problem? ...and come up with a solution?
Please help.
Thanks.

Stop using libraries and start using folders of snippets. Combine that with minibridge and you should be good to go.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes.

Can you share music between 2 Apple ID's on the same network?

Can you share music between 2 Apple ID's on the same network?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can share content between 2 libraries that have different ID's for the iTunes Store, yes.
You need to make sure that both libraries are using the same ID for home sharing though (from the File menu)

Try to reset Network setting thru (Setting/General/Reset/Reset Network Setting - after clicking on it the phone will ask to reboot)
According to my R&D I have experienced that one must reset the network each time when we r at home or in office or other places, the phone after resetting the network setting acquires the area specific network setting n works well, try it & if any other solution do let me known
Calling up customer care did not help me, they do keep us in a loop with the same old answeres that “Our technical team is working on it & WILL GET BACK TO u” leaving us with no solution at the end
Try what I suggest think to will help u

Multiple Apple TV's on the same network with airplay issues.

I work at a school with 37 Apple TV's. They are all on the same network, some of them are wired while others are wireless. The problem I am having is that airplay works and then doesn't work for some unknown reason. The Apple TV's are connected to the network and internet when they are experiencing this and I believe that the issue is bonjour. Does anyone know any way of solving this issue.

Yeah, I think wiring them is the only solution to this problem.
We've only got three (well, had one and bought two more this summer - that's when the trouble started).
The first one I got had trouble connecting with the wireless network, so Apple support said to reboot the main router. That is, shut down the entire network while we reboot for one Apple TV. So...OK, I get it, Apple is a CONSUMER company and we're trying to use their products in a school...in spite of that, so far, it has been worth the effort.
But YESTERDAY I got that message about too many devices on the network and to "disconnect a device..." (you know the rest).
So, I called Aruba, knowing that it was a wireless issue and that I've had issues with them and, particularly
Bonjour. Aruba appears to be a Windows only network - would that I would have known that three years ago. But Aruba TAC has NO CLUE what the issue is. So I called Apple Tech Support and they have NO CLUE - weren't even aware of this posting, what, six months ago? (Shows you how much they read and value the forum - we're on our own, boys and girls!)
So...I wired the front of the school Apple TV to a nearby wireless access point and now it's a steady as a rock. But prior to that I actually stood in front of the ATV and watched as it connected, then disconnected, then connected, then disconnected (ad nauseum). Interferrence? Well, maybe, there are only about 150 rogue networks detected in the immediate vicinity - but Aruba ASSURED ME that their WAPs were sophisticated enough to recongnize that and filter them out. (Maybe not?)
So the ATV at the front of the building ocassionally just drops off the network. I can tell because we run a Flickr slideshow on it all day long with announcements and stuff. When I go by the TV and see the thumbnails and no slideshow, I know it has dropped off the network. Usually I can reconnect it. But that's not good enough.
Finally, yesterday, a teacher called me who has an ATV (long story on how she got that) and said she was not longer connected to the network. A shudder ran through my body as I expected (and realized) the worst.
So, my installer is coming tomorrow to wire her ATV into the WAP in her classroom. But TODAY, I have to call Aruba and enable the additional port since it's not enabled by default.
I'll tell you, every day, I get this horrific feeling in the pit of my stomach that this whole world of technology we have built is held together with bailing wire and duct tape and that it just has to blow at some point.
Then I watch Bob Ross do his paintings (and a NEW KID on the block - watch out for him - Kevin Hill - this kid takes Bob Ross to the next level and he's only 18 years old) and think - "What the heck am I doing here, anyway? Why am I not home painting?" But them I start feeling guilty that I'm leaving the school in the lurch. Who will stand up to these bozos who don't have a clue what's going on and, further, don't seem to care, yet, get this, think they are doing a GREAT JOB! I'm telling you, I'm living on Superman's Planet Bizarro!

Can you setup handoff to work with two mac computers on the same network?

I am attempting to setup handoff to work with two computers on the same network. I cannot seem to get it to work. Should I be able to?

I'm not sure but I haven't seen anything on the Apple site that indicates that it would not work. The following troubleshooting documents may help: Get help using Continuity with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite - Apple Support
Note in particular the Mac models supported. The other thing that occurs to me is that in addition to being on the same network they would have to be within Bluetooth range of each other.

Cannot not Mirror with Ipad or Macbook on the same network

I've installed a profile on my apple tv using apple configurator to join my school network with success. My ipad and macbook pro are on the same network all using the same username and password. The airplay icon shows up when they are on the network. I can select it and after about 10-15 seconds it switches back to the ipad and never displays on the apple tv. I was told but an apple rep that it may be a bandwidth issue but that has now been eliminated as a potential problem. Any help would be great. If I use ethernet with both the apple tv and macbook pro I can display using airplay but this does not help with the Ipad or the goal of using wireless.

Please post a link to the site.

HT3819 Will home sharing work with 2 itunes accounts on the same computer?

My husband and I share a laptop. Can we use Home Sharing to share music with each other? I have an account for each of us on iCloud and the computer has us each set up as users.

No, home sharing will not work for two different users on the same computer on a Windows based system as it requires iTunes running. It is not possible in Windows for both users to be running iTunes at the same time.
Instead, simply use the File > Add Files/Folder option in iTunes to add the content you want to your iTunesLibrary. Do the same for your husbands iTunesLibrary under his user.

Sharing Itunes with a different user on the same computer...

Can I allow a different logged in user to gain access to my music library on the same computer? If so...How the heck do you do it? I tried something once and thought I lost my whole library!
Thanks.

Is it possible to run two different apple tv units on the same network and play two different movies off of my iTunes library

Is it possible to play two different movies on two seperate apple tv units on two tvs at the same time using the same itunes library

AC is corret you can do that. It might work a bit better for you if you use a wired connection vs a wireless one for the ATV's.

TS2972 Cannot get home sharing and airplay to work over corporate wifi. Cisco WLC 5508 controllers. Home sharing and Airplay is turned on. Apple ID and account the same on each device. All software is at the latest version. Devices work individually.

All devices at latest software. Each device works individually ie. apple tv can play netflix and hulu videos, itunes works on both an iPad2 and a Pc with latest itunes version. Firewall disabled ports open. Devices on same vlan. Laptop can ping ipad and apple-tv, iPad can ping laptop and apple-tv. The deives just do not see each other ever. All cisco settings are set to recommended settings for home sharing to work. Any ideas?

I seem to have a similar problem. I have a Macbook and a PC, both running the current version of iTunes. On the APTV (also running the current software version), only my Macbook library shows up under "computers". Home Sharing is turned on for both and my Macbook library shows up under "Shared" on the PC, but the PC iTunes library doesn't show up on the Macbook or the APTV.
My question then is: How is it that my Macbook iTunes library can show up on the PC and on the APTV, but the PC iTunes library doesn't show up on either? If the PC can see the shared libraries, doesn't that mean it's on the same network? Along those same lines, "Shared" libraries do NOT show up on the Macbook. Again I ask, how is it that I can see the Macbook library on the PC, but the Macbook doesn't show any Shared libraries?
All of this worked just fine before the upgrade to iOS 5 by the way. I had no issues seeing any library on any devices and the APTV found both computers.
Please help. This is really annoying!

Cannot access iTunes Protected Content in Shared Libraries on Apple TV 2.3

Hi all,
Does anyone else have this problem?
In Apple TV 2.3, I cannot access any protected content in SHARED libraries. The primary computer that syncs with Apple TV works fine, and I can listen to protected music, movies, etc purchased on iTunes, but from the other 4 computers in our household I cannot listen to their PROTECTED content, instead getting "Your Apple TV is not authorized to play this content".
If I revert to factory defaults (Apple TV 1.0), then I can listen to protected content in my own library and shared libraries without problems, but I cannot view movies I have purchased as they require Apple TV 2.0 or above.
I can reproduce this perfectly every time, basically if I upgrade to 2.3, I can't have protected content on shared libraries, and if I use 1.0 I can't have my movies...
All non-protected content is fine on both my synced library and the shared libraries.
I have tried all the Apple suggested fixes on their support page (factory reset of Apple TV, deauthorizing/authorizing iTunes on all the computers several times, and the internet connection definitely works - I tested it by buying a song via my TV).
A solution would be much appreciated, but I'm convinced that this is probably a bug since I can reproduce it over and over every time...

No I don't have the other's authorized with my computer, but I don't see why it would matter though as the Apple TV is its 'own' device isn't it?
All of us have our own iTunes accounts so each of the shared libraries would be under a separate email address.
That said, in 1.0 it isn't an issue to access the DRM'd content in shared libraries under the various user accounts, it only seems to be 2.3 that has broken this for us.
I've logged a bug via that feedback page, do they actually get resolved though?

Linux JVM: How to load shared libraries with mutual/circular dependencies

Hi,
I am using the API
System.loadLibrary(String name)
to dynamically link shared libaries to Linux JVM.
The shared libraries has complex circular symbol dependencies among them.
I am not able to load shared libraries due to java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError.
Any ideas on how a number of shared libraries with interdependent realtionships
could be successfully linked in to the Linux JVM?
Thanks,
Soumen.
Background
===========
Successful execution of native code within Java virtual machine in a
host platform, has two necessary prerequisites:
Prerequisite 1: The native code is written to the JNI specification
Prerequisite 2: The native code is dynamically linked with Java virtual
machine.
The second step is achieved via simple Java interface, System.loadLibrary:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#loadLibrary(java.lang.String)
However, implementation of this interface is highly platform dependent
in regards to exact nature of dynamic linking process.
Tests
=====
I made three shared libraries libfeatureA.so, libfeatureB.so and libfeatureC.so.
Feature A and Feature B are mutually dependent on each other (i.e cicular
dependencies between libfeatureA.so, libfeatureB.so) whereas libfeatureC.so
has no external dependencies.
Case 1
I could link libfeatureC.so with java.
Case 2
Java failed to resolve circular dependency between libfeatureA.so, libfeatureB.so
resulting in linking failure. There may be repackaging workarounds which I have
not yet explored.
Java source code
================
class TestLoadLibrary
static
System.loadLibrary("featureB");
System.loadLibrary("featureA");
System.loadLibrary("featureB");
public static void main(String[] args)
System.out.println("In TestLoadLibrary.main()");
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /homes/soumen/work/event/featureB/libfeatureB.so.1.0: /homes/soumen/work/ev B.so.1.0: undefined symbol: featureA_func2
at java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load(Native Method)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary0(ClassLoader.java:1737)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:1662)
at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Runtime.java:817)
at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:986)
at TestLoadLibrary.<clinit>(TestLoadLibrary.java:5)

The use of "dlopen() application programming" to achieve dynamic link closure works if there are
no circular dependencies. For example, I have the following dependency:
libfeatureD.so ==> libfeatureC.so
Even if I call Java APIs in correct dependency order, i.e.,
System.loadLibrary("featureC");
System.loadLibrary("featureD");
there would be java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError for call System.loadLibrary("featureD").
Now, I have a JNI method implementation, which makes native API call in same dependency order:
dlopen("libfeatureC.so", RTLD_LAZY|RTLD_GLOBAL);
dlopen("libfeatureD.so", RTLD_LAZY|RTLD_GLOBAL);
and now System.loadLibrary calls succeed. Note that I had to set environment
variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that dlopen call would find libraries to load.
In other words, from a JNI programming point of view, "linking chasm" has been crossed.
I am looking at circular dependency issue, i.e.,
libfeatureA.so <==> libfeatureB.so
There may be library repackaging workaround.
If anybody knows any workaround, please post.

Sharing libraries with other user accounts

please help, iTunes gurus, I'm stuck.
I want to share iTunes libraries between 2 user accounts, on the same computer. The machine runs Windows XP Home, and both accounts are Computer Administrator level but have their file spaces set as private.
What I'd like is something similar to the sharing of an iTunes library over the network from another computer, is this possible?
If not, would I have to manually go through 2 ~35GB libraries to move those albums that both people like into "Shared Documents\Shared Music" then manually point iTunes to the new locations of the folders that were previously in "My Documents\My Music\iTunes" ?
Clever suggestions welcomed.

I have done (most of) this and can see and share libraries while on my home network BUT, I can only listen to them through iTunes on the computer.
Is there a way to get them into my library so that theey sync to my ipod as well?

Hi Anne,
I'm pretty sure different eMail addies are needed for different Apple IDs.
