Sharing across platforms

I am using the latest update to itunes on a PC (using XP SErvice Pack 3) and have used the new Home Sharing feature of itunes to share music and playlists on my home network. Although another pc on my network can see and use my entire music library and every playlist, a macmini (using Snow Leopard) on my home network is only able to see the music library. Is this just an incompatibility between macs and pcs that I'll have to get used to or is there a feature I missed?

I can see both ways between XP and Mac OS 10.5.
Playlists and everything, by clicking on the little triangle to expand the tree.
Library
-Music
-Movies
-TV Shows
and so on.
Make sure the Mac didn't turn off System Prefs > Sharing > Options > SMB.
I think my Mac somehow turned that off after one of its updates. None of my file sharing was working while that was turned off...just the non-home-sharing iTunes.

  • Printer Sharing across platforms - can someone tell me ...

    if I can share a printer between an XP system and a Win 7 system?
    Before I enter all the system data, I just wondered if someone already knew the answer to this one. I was successsfully sharing a non network printer plugged into an XP machine via USB and printing to it via Network Magic from my Vista machine, but since I upgraded Vista to Win 7, I cannot. Everytime I try to install the remote printer or access it in any way from my Win 7 machine, I get the Windows message: " Windows cannot connect to the printer". This also occurs form within the Network Magic Map if I try to Complete Printer Setup. It shows up on my Win 7 machine when I want to ADD a Printer, but I cannot install it. It shows as Shared on the XP machine.
    Thanks for any assistance!

    Hi S.,
    You need to use Network and Sharing Center and open up your computer. You need to use the Public Profile and turn on Network Discovery. Not sitting in front of Windows 7 at the moment.
    Otherwise, you need a Wireless Printer or All-In One Machine or a Printer that plugs into the Router using an Ethernet Port.

  • Current (LV2012) best way to serve data across platforms

    I'm interested in hearing what people would regard as the current best way do the following:
    I'd like to publish data from labview in a format that can be read over a network across platforms. The data should be not just be visible, but it should be fairly simple for someone writing their own code, say on a Unix machine, to integrate this data into their programs. Some more specific are probably in order. In its simplest form we would like to transfer a 1d array of doubles (say of length  30) plus an image file (say 600x400 pixel jpeg) and update about every 5 second. The "client" would just read this data in at need, and there is no requirement that the client be able to access data other than the current data cluster at the moment it read the data -  unread data is just thrown away when the next update arrives. Is a webservice the only/best way to do this at this time?

    you might want to check Shared Variables (OPC)
    A stupid thought maybe, but File IO is always a possiblity as well, might not be the best one, but will certainly work....
    Kind regards,

  • Can iPS sessions be synchronized across platform server?

    We are using two platform servers, ps1 and ps2, which are running on two different servers. However, they share a single profile server.
    The site content is served by IIS servers. We would like to add Logout link pointing to "logout" servlet on platform server.
    My belief is that iPS doesn't sychronize sessions across platform servers. Hence, we need to pass on the Platform server name to Content Server (in this case, IIS server) so that the link can be dynamically configured.
    If my assumption is wrong, can you please tell me how the logout URL looks like. I tried <gateway server>/logout. It doesn't work

    To add the logout button try something like this if you are using the gateway
    https://gateway/http://server:8080/DesktopServlet?action=logout
    This should logout the user.
    IF you not using the gateway then it should be http://server:8080/DesktopServlet?action=logout
    The sessions are not synchronized across all platform servers. Sp3Hp2 allows you to have multiple profile servers but still there won't be session synchronization, however it will session information sharing.
    You can login server1.red.iplanet.com and then server2.red.iplanet.com and still get the same session without having to relogin.

  • 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!

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • CONVERT Redo Logs across platforms - 10g or even 11?

    Hi all,
    I've seen that it's possible to convert databases across platforms on
    10g, but have not seen a reference to the Redo Logs. Can these
    be converted across platforms? Interested in AIX to Linux - there are
    obvious problems of endianess - anybody any experience?
    TIA.
    Paul...

    To be able to share archived log files, the two database must be identical on a block-for-block basis. Logical Standby use SQL apply where physical organization and structure of the database can be different from primary.
    In both cases, the Oracle need to be on same OS platform.
    In 11g that requirement is not lifted.
    What's New in Oracle Data Guard 11g?

  • Syncing iCal Across Platforms

    I am trying to sync my iCal calendars across platforms (Macbook, iPad, iPhone), but I cannot figure out how to create a calendar on my Macbook on the cloud.  Whenever I create a calendar, it seems to save it to my computer and not to the cloud. (Thus it doesn't sync).  I am not really interested in having any calendars on my computer anymore that aren't iCloud synced.  Any suggestions would be appreciated!  Thanks...

    Have you migrated to iCloud, and have you turned iCloud services on (for your Mac)

    By interface I simply mean connected to the contacts.  I have two different gmail accounts, one that uses the apple mail app and the new one that launches from the gmail icon that I downloaded from the app store.  The new one doesn't recognize the contacts.

    Review the Release notes, there is a bug and a fix since CRS fails on the last node.
    This bug is for EL 5, but pretty match what I've found on the log files
    I'm also in EL 4.6, x64 in my case.. haven't tried the fix due lack of time.
    Provide log files from CRS_HOME/logs
