Sharing aperture libraries over home network

My Aperture (3.4) Library is on my Mac (OS-X 10.8.2). I want to access from my MacBook (OS X 10.7.5) Aperture (3.4) over my home network.
When I 'Switch to library' on the MacBook and select the Aperture Libraray on the Mac I get the message:
'Aperture cannot switch to the selected library because the file system of the library’s volume is not supported.'
Al suggestions will be appreciated!

Sorry, that is not possible. Aperture is not a network database system, and an Aperture library can only be accessed by one user at a time.
The Aperture library must be stored on locally mounted volume, formatted MacOS X extended.
See this support article by Apple:
Aperture: Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library:

Streaming videos over home network (KDE)?

What do I need to be able to stream videos over home network in KDE?
I tried to do it with ssh, both graphically and by terminal (Network>AddNetwork>ssh) and it didn't work. It tried to download the file. I was reading this is some kind of bug in the KDE.
What else can I use to stream videos? Samba? Avahi?

IMO, it would be best to abandon SSH completely. Its going add undesired overhead to this project.
I use mediatomb to stream content to PS3 and HTPC running Arch: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mediatomb
If you just want to be able to access files locally from a remote server, use NFS to mount the desired remote folders: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NFS

Sharing c3180 on w7 x64 over home network to x86 instances

I have a c3180 connected by usb to a windows 7 x64 instance.
This printer is shared over the home network and shows up on other machines (all windows 7) as an available printer but upon printing jobs will just sit in the print queue indefinitely and not be printed.
I believe this is because I do not have the x86 drivers that the other machines require installed on the windows 7 x64 machine to which the printer is connected.
On setting up printer sharing there is a button for 'Additional Drivers' which allows installation of x86 drivers. Here I can select to install a x86 'Type 3 - User Mode' driver but on oking this it asks for the location of the driver .inf file which I do not have and cannot find.
Where can I get the x86 driver from? I can only download the 'all in one' driver & software package from the hp site which I do not want as it's only the tiny driver file that I am after.
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Hi,
This issue can occur by incompatible printer driver. Since the driver is made by third party Manufacturer which we do not have enough Knowledge about it, to resolve
the issue, it’s highly recommended to involve the manufacturer for further assistance.
As an alternative method, I suggest you move the printer and connect to the Windows Vista machine directly, and then check whether it can be installed on the local
machine. If still not, I’m afraid that you have to contact Brother for more suggestions. Otherwise, you can share the printer on the Windows Vista to Windows 7 for a test.
Thanks,
Novak

How do I create an Itunes playlist on an ipad 2 for a shared library on my home network

Hi, please help? How do I create a playlist on tunes on my i pad2 with a shared i tunes library on my home network?

no need to create a secondary library - too troublesome, IMHO. you can spread your library over as many drives you can connect to your Mac (wired or wirelessly):
iTunes > preferences > advanced.
point iTunes media folder location to the external
on the same tab, ensure the copy files ... when adding option is checkmarked
okay out of preferences
highlight the content to be moved in iTunes and right-click
select consolidate files from the pop-up menu
wait for the process to finish
when done, you may delete the original files from your boot drive.
alternatively, you could move the whole shabang to the external HD:
copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music to the external, launch iTunes while holding the option(⌥) key, click on choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder you copied to the external.
when done, be sure to point iTunes media folder location to the external so that new additions to your library will be put there. also, you need to make sure the external is mounted on your desktop before you fire up iTunes.

Put iTunes libraries on home network

This seems like a simple request, but I can't find any posts that offer a
simple solution.
My wife and I each have an iTunes account. Naturally, we also each have our own iTunes library, our own songs, podcasts, etc.
We also have two PCs in our house, connected by a home network. We use both
PCs, and use the same Window's user account.
My wife and I would like to be able to sit at either computer, open iTunes,
choose either of our iTunes libraries, and then download, transfer, play, rate, etc. the songs, podcasts, for that library.
All the posts I've read suggest that you need a computer engineering degree to
set something like this up. Or perhaps I'm missing something.
I was hoping I could just put my iTunes library (the itl, xml, and mp3s, etc.) on a network folder, like Public Music\His_iTunes\...
And do the same with my wife's iTunes library:
Public Music\Her_iTunes\...
Then when we open iTunes (on either computer), we just hold down SHIFT and
chose the library we want.
Will that work? I can't use iTune's Home Sharing feature because it requires using one iTunes account.
Thank you.

Yes...this is all possible. Everything you want to do with this can be done with a little patience. Here's one setup, which is close to what we have here.
Two computers, each with iTunes installed. Desktop computer contains the one large folder full of mp3s. One iTunes library on the laptop for her, one on the desktop for me. Both libraries have been built using File>Add folder to library, choosing the (desktop computer) folder and selecting desired mp3s. Both libraries do not have to contain the same stuff. Just build each library with appropriately desired stuff. After libraries are complete, search each computer for "*.itl" files. Most likely it will be in "Computer>Local Disk>Users>*whatever user you are>Music>whatever you named your library*.
When each user opens iTunes using the shift key, they will need to choose the library they want to work with. Make sure both computers are networked and connected before you attempt to open iTunes. You can make playlists and sync and do whatever. When you close then reopen iTunes without using the shift key, it will default to the last library that was open on that computer.
I haven't experimented with what happens if you open one library on both computers at the same time. Not expecting that to go well. Also, I would hesitate to modify info such as album art, song title, artist, etc while both iTunes libraries are open on both computers. (I don't even recommend using iTunes to update that info...look into getting a program called TagScanner from cnet.com.)
That was alot, real fast...if you have any questions, I'll be monitoring this thread. We have 2 computers, 3 iPods, 5 libraries. I can probably help you with any configuration on this issue.

Problem printing to printer attached to a pc over home network

I have a home network with two computers, a Dell running Win XP and a new iMac running Leopard. I have Fusion installed on the Mac running a virtual PC on WinXP as well, so I effectively have 3 computers. I had an old HP printer attached to the Dell that both the Mac and its virtual PC could see and print to fine over my network. I had to replace the printer and now have a Canon MX700 attached (by USB) to the Dell, and am having trouble with remote printing. I was able to "add" the new printer to both the Mac and its virtual pc, but only the virtual pc is able to print successfully. When I try printing from the Mac applications, using the driver for the MX700 printer found during the add printer setup, I get an error message. I then tried a new setup with a generic (Gutenprint) driver, and the printer was spitting out blank pages. Then I downloaded another driver from Canon's website for OS X 10.5, and it still didn't work. (I am not sure if I was supposed to uninstall the previous drivers first, and if so,I don't know how to do that since I am still new to the Mac environment. I just am assuming that the new drivers take over for the former one.) I assume that the problem is a driver problem and not a network problem since the virtual pc on the Mac works fine and my old HP worked fine with the same network setup. Any help?

Thank you again for sticking with me on this. Frankly, I was very surprised when the Canon did not work even when I carried it downstairs and attached it directly to the Mac by USB. I used the installation disk, which said it installed successfully (after several tries where it kept getting hung up after installing the drivers, and showing 0% completed, requiring me to use force quit to get the setup to stop each time). But as I explained in my prior post, the Mac never found the printer even after the supposed "successful" install.
This is typical when there are too many different versions of the driver residing on the Mac. I will explain my procedure to remove all the Canon stuff at the bottom of this post.
I then downloaded the Mac OS driver from the support page for my printer on Canon's website and ran that driver, but still no recognition. But I am willing to keep trying. I had looked at the PrintFab driver too (which I learned about from one of your other posts), but they are expensive and I probably could buy another printer for the cost of that driver. So I don't think that is an option.
Agree with you re the PrintFab. That is why I think the direct network connection would be best.
You suggest that I try another Gutenprint driver from the Canon list, which I guess I can randomly do, but I noticed that a number of the models listed show the driver as 5.2.3 (the same numbers as the generic one I tried)--does this meand they are all the same? Can I just keep downloading and installing more drivers without removing any?
It is not another version I need you to try. Using the same version, I suggest you try some of the other models that are included with the Gutenprint driver. Ideally, it would be good to know which model of the included Gutenprint drivers uses the same ink tank setup as your MX700. For example, if the MX700 uses BCI8 Blk and a BCI5 Blk and the three 8 series colour (Cyan, Magenta and Yellow), then selecting a model that uses the same setup might work for you. If you check a Canon web site, it would tell you what tanks are used by a certain model that is available within the Canon list.
I am willing to consider the network install of the printer, and that would be a good way to go, but I find Canon's instruction for network installations that came with the printer (which does not appear to consider mixing Macs and Pcs since there are separate instructions for both) a bit confusing. The basic installation of the printer on the network seems easy enough to follow. It is the further instruction for doing something to the "card" for each computer that will be using the printer on the network that I find confusing. I don't know what they are talking about. I certainly don't want to mess up my network connections. Do you know of any better instructions for setting this all up?
The setup is easier than the manual suggests. With the printer connected via USB, you open the Utilities application and select the Network tab. However this does require that you can get the printer to work when connected via USB, so we have to achieve that first.
Again, thank you very much for all your help. (Incidentally, I also discovered I can't use the fax feature of the printer because we have a two-line phone line and when I plug the phone cord into the printer and then out to the phone it eliminates the second line, no ringtone. There is no setting for this on the printer that I can find. But I can live without the fax, just another source of annoyance with this printer).
That would suggest that there is a link from the first phone to the second. Unplugging the phone cable to connect to the fax has broken that loop. You could easily get the phones rewired to suit the fax, but again it costs money so it might not be worth it.
Here is my procedure for repairing faulty installations of the Canon PIXMA drivers.
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax. Highlight the Canon printer in the Printer list and click the minus ( - ) button. [You may not have to do this step]
2. Hold Control key and click in the empty Printers list. Click on Reset Printing System.
3. Close Print & Fax
4. Go to Library > Printers > Canon and delete the contents of the BJPrinter folder.
5. Go to Library > Receipts and delete the Canon driver package file, if one exists. The file name will show Canon MX700 xxx.pkg
6. Go to Library > Preferences and delete the Canon folder.
7. Go to HD > Users > Shared > Canon and delete the BJPrinter folder.
8. Empty the Trash
9. Unplug the Canon USB cable and restart the Mac
10. Install the latest version of the Canon driver. Looking at the Canon AU web site it is v6.9.3
11. Once the driver installation is complete, go to Applications > Utilities and open Disk Utility. Run the Repair Disk Permissions option.
12. Reconnect the Canon USB cable. Then open Print & Fax and see if the Canon printer is listed. If it is, try a test print.
13. If the printer is not listed, click the plus ( + ) button.
14. Select the Default view and select the Canon printer connected via the USB port. The Print Using menu should automatically change to Canon IJ Printer.
15. Click Add to add the printer.

Printing to shared windows printer over wireless network

Hi,
I just bought my wife a MacBook and recently updated it to Leopard (OS X 10.5). I have a Lexmark X5150 printer connected to a desktop PC running Windows XP. I can share files between the two computers no problem either wirelessly or through an ethernet connection through my router. But, I'm having troubles accessing the shared printer through the Macbook wirelessly. If I connect the printer directly to the Macbook, I can add the printer with appropriate drivers no problem. However, when I try to add the printer as Windows shared printer, the appropriate driver doesn't show up in the drop down list. I can navigate to and find the printer over the network fine, but I just can't find the right driver. I'm a newbie to Mac and was wondering if there is anyway to find the driver using Finder or something similar to determine where it physially resides on the Mac. I know it's there because it is automatically selected when I directly connect the printer to the Macbook and add the printer. Any thoughts??

Couldn't figure things out, so I'll just stick with connecting the printer directly to the macbook.

Sharing media across my home network, in more ways than one...

Hi,
Bear with me, because I can only just get my head around this myself:
I would like to have a network accessible hard drive to which I can store all the photos, music and video in my home. The devices accessing it are a MacBook Pro (10.5.3), a MacBook (10.4.11), and a Sony Playstation 3 (whatever the latest update is).
My home network is working correctly, and everything can connect to each other. I currently use Nullrivers MediaLink software to stream my MacBook Pro's content to the Sony Playstation 3, which works as well as it should. I also have an Airport Express (connects to my home network) connected to some speakers, to which both my MBP and my partners MacBook can stream to (we use Airfoil for other audio).
However, I would like to consolidate all our media onto one device, so that we are using the same iTunes library(1), the same iPhoto library(2), and all of our video is also accessible to both of us. Now I know how I would do this using a plain old network attached storage device, but this wouldn't allow me to stream the media to the Playstation 3, as far as I know - the Playstation 3 needs to have some sort of DLNA protocol to access the data. I'd love to be able to fire up the Playstation 3 and show people photos/videos etc, without first having to turn on my MBP.
Now I have looked into this a bit, but I don't know much about network storage, and the only options I have seen are either a DLNA certified NAS, such as those from Buffalo's range, or another computer running as a server (something like a G4 Cube or Mac Mini). The latter option wouldn't be ideal because I would like to have the box wired to my router, which is next to the TV, and I don't want to have to keep a mouse and keyboard hanging around for admin, or need different adaptors to connect it to the TV to see it, besides having the power consumption of another computer running 24/7.
Buffalo's LinkStation Live drives seem reasonably priced, and on paper seem to do everything I would like, but I have been put off by poor reviews, posts on PS3 forums saying they don't work, and also that they are "slow".
So am I stuck with having to look for a cheap Mac Mini, or going with a NAS HDD that might/might not work with the Playstation 3?
We would not have an issue with not being able to share iTunes store purchases, we do not have very many. We would obviously need to be able to sync our iPods from either of our machines, drawing from the main repository, if thats possible.
The ability to access the shared drive remotely would get bonus points, but is in no way necessary.
(1) We would share the same Library file, so that any changes made by either of us would be reflected on each others iTunes windows. If there are issues with two people accessing the same library at the same time, we probably wouldn't run into them because we rarely use iTunes at the same time. This sounds silly but you know what I mean.
(2) Is this even possible with one of the computers running iPhoto '08 and one running iPhoto '06? This isn't a major issue, music sharing being the main one.
Please Help!!

I decided to keep my old 20" Core Duo iMac as a Server in the bedroom, and now use it as a television and PVR as well. I wouldn't have made much on eBay anyway.

Problem with shared HP930C printer on home network

We have 2 networked computers at home -- one is Windows XP with an HP930C printer attached, the other is Windows Vista 32-bit with a Canon iP3600 attached. Both printers are shared across the network. Both computers will print to the Canon printer. We used to able to use the HP printer from both computers. Then it was detached for many months, and now we cannot use it from the Vista computer.
The HP printer can be seen from Control Panel of both computers. But when we try to print from Vista, a dialog box appears and disappears so quickly that it cannot be read -- nothing appears in the printer queue and nothing prints. I downloaded and ran the HP Home Network Diagnostic Utility on the Vista computer, but it did not find the HP printer.
I've checked everything I can think of, and I've run out of ideas. Can anyone help, please?

Hello freemcb, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing connectivity issues. I would like to help.
I would recommend powering down the printer and computers. Once they are off, I would recommend removing the power cord from the router and waiting 60 seconds. After the alloted time, plug the router back in and let it broadcast, then power on the printer and computers.
I would also recommend utilizing this document on Wireless Printing Center Troubleshooting Issues.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Macbook and Windows 7 PC sharing files on a home network

I have a Macbook pro and a windows 7 based pc. Is it possible for these computers to share files like pictures, videos, itunes library across a home network? If so, what is the easiest way to set that up?

Sharing usb HD over the network

I have two Macs behind a firewall connected to the internet. I have a USB 2.0 HD connected to my Mac mini. I want to share this drive over the network so my old Mac cube can access it. I have set up sharing so that I can move files from my cube to the mini’s HD but that is sub-optimal.

External HD's can be "shared", but to get them available and 'out on the network' you need to manage them in Samba settings.
Sharepoints is a GUI to the Samba Configuration.
You'll be pleasantly surprised, I hope.

ATV over home network?

Hi
I'm just about to have a wired network (cat6 or fibre optic) installed throughout my home as part of a refurb, with bridged airport extremes as access points. Is there anyway that I can use this network to watch movies on ATV in different rooms?
Thanks

No, you cannot stream HDMI output over a home network then put it back into a HDMI cable and view it on mulitple TVs. You can use cat6 cable as an extension cord for HDMI, see HDMI over ethernet, but don't be deceived as this is HDMI over an ethernet cable from point A to point B not over a network.
Mainly this is true because the bandwidth requirements for HDMI are measured in Gigabits/sec which exceeds the throughput capacity of your airport extreme (1 Gigabit/sec).
Generally speaking, its a better solution to share the compressed HD source(mpeg2/4) and uncompress it once it gets to your entertainment center.
Put an ATV in front of each TV, then each one can stream or sync content from your computer. Plenty of people streaming to multiple ATVs from a single mac mini. If you look up the prices of HDMI over ethernet which would only work for ONE TV, you could buy multiple ATVs.
Enjoy that rocking network your building.

Sharing iCal within a home network

I want to share iCal calendars on my MacBook Pro (running 10.6.8) with an iMac (with multiple user accounts running 10.7.x) on a home network. I would like all the users on the iMac (three accounts) to access the same iCal calendars (on my MBP).
Any simple solution?
Thanks!

No. because they expect you to sync your calendars with iCloud - you can share calendars privately using iCloud, and then of course your subscribers won't be limited to your home network. Your sticking point is having Snow Leopard on one machine - you may be able to sync using this unsupported hack.
The sharing method is described here:

Incidentally, it's BusyCal, not BusySync - BusyCal is $50

Sharing user profiiles over the network

I am trying to host all users accounts on one machine and share that information with other macs across the network. This would allow me to administer all accounts on one machine but still have all the information available to all machines.
I have been able to find enough information to tell me that I need to create a parent netinfo domain that all machines would pull in. The problem is I have not found any information to tell me how to do this in MacOSX 10.4.8.
I am doing this at my home, so MacOSX Server is too much money (but probably easier).
Please help.
