Sharing across network

I have several computers on my home network, some mac and some pc. Can I share info and connect to other computers on the network? Or, just the ones that are mac?
Also, when I'm at work, can I access my home network to get files off my iMac? How is this done?
Thank you,
Gary

  • Home sharing across networks

    Is there any way to enable Home Sharing with a computer on an external network? I have a mac at work that I'd love to be able to synchronize with my home computer. It's already authorized. Do I need to setup port forwarding on my router? Will it even work?

  • Sharing across network with Vista

    iTunes on my new computer with Vista can see iTunes library on older XP machine on my family network, but no "arrow" appears next to library name, and when I select the shared library, it just disappears. I'm sure I missed something. Anyone got any insight?
    Thanks

    I had the same problem, installed Bonjour on the windows computer and was able to print right away... no reboot required using the generic driver for a canon mp470 printer on the mac pro.
    Thanks!

  • Secondary drive sharing across network between 10.3.9 and 10.4.6 OS's

    4 machines, A,B,C,D.
    "A"&"B" OSX 10.3.9
    "C"&"D" OSX 10.4.6
    "A" has a secondary ATA (bay B) interal drive and several firewires
    ATA manufactuer SEAGATE ST3250823AS
    FIREWIRES from lacie and smartdisk
    "B" sees all drives mounted on machine "A" and can R/W
    Machines "C" and "D" can only see the primary ATA drive from machine "A"
    Apple support suggested checking for updated 10.4.6 firmware on non-apple supplied hard-drives (secondary ATA and firewires listed on apple store). Done. Firmware was up to date. It appears that there is a cross OS bug with sharing secondary drives.
    Our options at this time appear to be:
    1) Upgrade A and B to OS 10.4.6
    We have adapated custom unix based software to 10.3.9 and functionality in 10.4.6 is unknown. Since the unix package is sensitive, woudl rather not upgrade the older systems.
    2) Downgrade C and D to OS 10.3.9
    Can this even be done?
    3) Get them talking without OS changes
    This would be ideal.
    Your thoughts and support are much appreciated.
    Thank you

    Hello djacouma,
    How are your G5s networked? Give us a detailed description of your network...
    How are A's drives shared? (NFS, AFP, FTP etc)?
    1) Upgrade A and B to OS 10.4.6
    We have adapated custom unix based software to 10.3.9 and functionality in 10.4.6 is unknown. Since the unix package is sensitive, woudl rather not upgrade the older systems.
    No way, since you run custom unix software, upgrading to 10.46 hoping that it may work is unacceptable
    Did you really get such an answer from Apple?
    (Hopefully) We'll find a solution to share your drives...

  • TS2972 I cannot seem to get all of my music shared across the network from my MacBook Pro to my iPad. This was not an issue a few days ago. Can anyone help?

    I cannot seem to get all of my music shared across the network from my MacBook Pro to my iPad. This was not an issue a few days ago. I can see all my songs if sorted that way, but if i sort by artist, only a few of them are present. Can anyone help or have any insight?

    Well I didn't think of it before, but I logged out of my apple ID othe iPad's home sharing. The I logged back in and it worked. It's a little weird, but I will take it. Thanks!

  • Sharing airport network connection to an airport base station over ethernet

    Hi there,
    I've got a network connection to the internet via Airport, on my iBook G4 with OS X 10.4.9.
    This iBook is connected to the LAN port on an Airport Express base station (for physical wiring reasons, it cannot be connected to the WAN port).
    This Airport Express has a dozen other computers attached to it.
    Does anyone know how I might be able to share my internet connection, via the LAN side of the Airport Express, to all these other computers?
    Incidentally, when I turn on both the Ethernet LAN connection and the Airport internet connection, I stop being able to communicate over the internet connection. When I disable the LAN, the internet connection returns.
    Thanks,
    Brian

    It turns out that in
    System Preferences->Network->Show: Network Port Configurations
    You can change the order of the networking by dragging the Port Configurations.
    Network sharing wasn't working for me because Ethernet was above Airport, therefore Airport wasn't being used as the internet connection. Having dragged Airport above Ethernet, it is now being used for the internet, and the sharing across the Ethernet works quite soundly.

  • Cannot download songs due to error 8328 but am on a shared wireless network

    When I try to download songs from Itunes, it says an unknown error occured (8328), check the connection to the network is active and try again. I have read other discussions saying to changing settings on the router/ internet fixes it, however I am using a password protected shared wireless network of which I am not the administrator. Is there anything I can do or is it a setting in the network stopping my downloads?

  • Printer sharing across internet sharing

    I hope I don't confuse everyone with this.
    I have three computers—an iMac running Snow Leopard, an iMac running Lion, and a Mini running Leopard. The SL iMac has a printer plugged into it. The other two computers are across the house from it.
    Those two computers are next to each other. The Lion iMac is connected to the Internet via WiFi. The Mini, which does not have wireless, is connected to the Internet via Internet Sharing over an ethernet cable to the Lion iMac.
    Now here's the problem. I can print from the Lion iMac through printer sharing across to the SL iMac. However, I can't figure out how to print from the Mini. It won't find the SL iMac's printer. Enabling printer sharing on the Lion iMac lets the Mini see it as a 'printer,' but it won't print across to the SL iMac.
    So with this setup, is it possible to print to the SL iMac from the wireless-less Mini?
    Just to ward off possible non-workable solutions, rearranging the computers is not feasable right now. It is also not possible to connect the Mini directly to the internet via ethernet. My cable modem is actually in a near-inaccessable part of the house due to that being where the only cable plug is. I have a Time Capsule attached to it, which broadcasts my wireless signal that the WiFi computers can pick up. And no, I can't connect the printer to the Time Capsule—believe me, I tried. I don't want to have to start buying long cables and drilling holes if there's a simpler solution.
    Thanks in advance.

    If I switch to the discussed set up (Airport Extreme N router), will adding an AX in between at 15 feet help bridge the link between the G5's Airport extreme card and the living room's AX?
    Yes. But I still think you should verify if Wi-Fi interference is the cause of your poor signal only 30' away from the AX before going out and purchase anything. Remember, you will tradeoff bandwidth performance for signal strength. With audio, this can be a negative factor.
    If you can get a hold of a laptop, I suggest downloading a copy of iStumbler. Use iStumbler's Inspector feature (select Edit > Inspector from iStumbler's menu) to determine the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) at different points around your house, by performing a simple RF site survey. Within the Inspector, note the values for "signal" & "noise" at these locations. Start with the laptop near the AX, note the readings, and then, choose the locations between the AX and, finally, where you have the G5.
    SNR is the signal level (in dBm) minus the noise level (in dBm). For example, a signal level of -53dBm measured near an access point and typical noise level of -90dBm yields a SNR of 37dB, a healthy value for wireless LANs.
    The SNR, as measured from the laptop, decreases as the range to the base station increases because of applicable free space loss. Also an increase in RF interference from microwave ovens and cordless phones, which increases the noise level, also decreases SNR.
    SNR Guideline
    o 40dB+ SNR = Excellent signal
    o 25dB to 40dB SNR = Very good signal
    o 15dB to 25dB SNR = Low signal
    o 10dB to 15dB SNR = Very low signal
    o 5dB to 10dB SNR = No signal
    If the SNR is 20dB+ at each of these locations, then you should be getting reasonable performance from your AirPort. If less, either try to locate the source of the Wi-Fi interference or try relocating the base station or the G5 until they are within a 20dB SNR range.

  • How do you configure the DAM so it can be shared across multiple CQ instances?

    How do you configure the DAM so it can be shared across multiple CQ instances?

    You can use shared datastore http://dev.day.com/content/kb/home/Crx/CrxSystemAdministration/HowToCombineTheDatastoreToP reserveDiskSpace.html multiple CQ instance will use same file system to share asset
    clustering http://dev.day.com/docs/en/crx/current/administering/cluster.html multiple node will share repository.
    But you can not have something like one DAM and then have different CQ instance pointing to it (As not everything goes in to one location in file system)

  • Read LabVIEW shared variables ( network variables?) with VB6

    Hi, i need to read some LabVIEW shared variables (network variables?) using a VB6 program.
    Is it possible?
    I think that yes, using Measurement Studio for VB6 but I don't know how and I haven't found information in the  Measurement Studio for VB6 help file
    Could some one send me a program example or explain me how it is possible to read LabVIEW shared variables fromVB6?

    Hello quintella,
    To be able to interface with LabVIEW
    Shared Variables with Visual Basic 6 you will need to use NI Measurement
    Studio, which ships with examples on how to use VB6 with DataSocketing. Apart
    from Data Sockets, if you are using Measurement Studio 8.1 or higer, with the
    Network Variable Library introducted in NI Measurement Studio 8.1, you can read
    and write to shared variables in ANSI C, Visual Basic .NET or Visual C#. (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4679)
    Here you have two links where you can
    find more information about how to use the datasocket option. In addition, there
    are several examples included in Measurement Studio with Network Variables and
    Datasocket.

  • Lightroom Library Accessible across network?

    Is there a way to have the library and all edits, etc. available to multiple users on a network? I work with four other photographers and a couple of art directors who all have access to a single server loaded up with tetrabytes of images sorted by assignments in respective folders. We've been using ACR and Bridge to view, assign metadata, and edit, duplicating RAW files for multiple processing interpretations, etc. I'm interested in seeing if Lightroom will help with our workflow, but a centralized library is absolutely necessary to start. Thanks for any help.

    >As I understand it, the library itself won't be accessible on the network in v1.
    johnbeardy, "Lightroom Library Accessible across network?" #1, 31 Jan 2007 7:24 am
    That's what I heard as well. It's a shame as with the advent of cheap NAS storage, it is very common for photographers to have all their data on the network and only the applications on the computer.
    I don't have a need for multiple users of the same library, but I do need to keep the library on NAS storage. That should be a simple fix for Adobe to implement. It's also an important fix as there have been several instances of people on the labs forums finding that they could not install Lightroom as they had redirected their "My Documents" directory (on Windows) onto a network mount.
    Full multi-user support is more complex and probably does require a database transplant to something with a more advanced locking concept than SQLite.

    Haven't heard of any security explotes on the iPad.  That should tell you security has been built in.
    Great password.  Set up remote wipe in case iPad goes missing.  Backup iPad regularly.

  • Will the Application Scope be shared across the cluster in a multi-node OC4

    Hi,
    I have the following requirement:
    Users of the application can only have single (browser) session. When a user who already has a session connects again, he should no longer be allowed to access the older session.
    My proposed implementation is:
    -     After successful login – possibly using a Session Listener - an entry is made in a HashMap UserSessions that lives in the application scope. Key is the username, value is the session id (HttpSession.getId()).
    -     For every request, using a ServletFilter, we check whether the session is still in the UserSessions HashMap for the current user. If a new session has been created for the same user, the session id for that new session is in the UserSessions map and the servletfilter will not find the session. In that case, the filter should invalidate the session and forward to the user to an error page.
    However, the application will run on a multi-node OC4J cluster. I am starting to wonder:
    Will the Application Scope be shared across the cluster in a multi-node OC4J environment?
    I know session state can be shared. But what application state/scope?
    Does anyone know? Do I have to do anything special in the cluster or the application to get this to work?
    Thanks for your help.
    Lucas

    gday Lucas --
    Application scope is not replicated across JVM boundaries with OC4J.
    I'm sure this used to be described in the doc, but I can't find it now from a quick scan.
    If you wanted to use this type of pattern, you could look to use a Coherence cache as distribution mechanism to share objects across multiple JVMs/nodes.

  • After factory reset information shared across devices won't load

    Hello. I recently did a factory reset on my MacBook Air. I backed up my iphoto library and itunes library to external hard drive and was able to load those fine. But I am still having a problem with syncing media and data across devices. Maybe I'm missing something? I set up my icloud; the contacts, address book, etc. seemed to have loaded all the data. BUT: the information that is supposed to load through sharing across my ipad, iphone 5 is not loading. I thought the itunes would load my music just based on the sharing, but it is a good thing I backed it up. Things like ibooks, and the most recent photos I have taken on my iphone are not loaded.
    Please help: I need to know how get all my devices sharing again, and/or pushing media through itunes
    Any tips would be welcome. Thanks.

    Information that is 'shared' via icloud includes calendar events, contacts, todo items, notes, and safari bookmarks. Music that is on an iOS device isn't shared. If it is music you purchased from the Apple iTunes store you can redownload it or it can be moved from the device by using the Transfer Purchases option of the iTunes File menu when your phone is connected to the computer via the cable. iOS apps can also be transferred to the computer this way. New pictures will sync when the phone/iPad is physically connected but I'm not certain how old pictures that exist on the iOS device but not on the computer are handled. You may need to use a third party program to transfer these old pictures - as well as music not purchased from the iTunes store.
