Sharing Apple Monitor between G5 and windos computer

I seemed to have read that it is possible to connect a windows computer to the Apple monitor and share the monitor between the two computers. Anyone know what I need to to that?

Many newer monitors have dual inputs. For example, my Viewsonic has an HDMI (Mac) and VGA (PC) input. Toggling between the two is a matter of pressing a monitor button.

  • My home sharing continually fails between mac and apple tv 2.

    my home sharing continually fails between mac and apple tv 2, even during watching a movie.  I go to the mac to re-turn on home sharing but it is still on.  Any tips?  I also have to turn off and back on at the mac every time i switch on my apple tv.

    5. Check Firewall Settings
    If you have a firewall enabled in your router or computer, make sure that the firewall is not blocking communication between your computers. Home Sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 to communicate with shared iTunes libraries.
    In addition, Apple TV and Mac computers will use port 123 to set the time automatically. Incorrect date and time on either the computer or Apple TV can cause errors for Home Sharing and connections in general.
    If you are unsure whether your router has a firewall or the required ports open, test additional devices or another network to help isolate the issue. If the devices tested work on another home network, it is your router or network configuration.
    For Mac OS X, you don't have to edit the port addresses, but make sure the firewall in Apple () menu > System Preferences > Security > Firewall are not set to:
    Block all incoming connections
    Allow only essential services
    If you use another security/firewall software on your computer or router, follow this article or contact the manufacturer or check the documentation on how to open TCP ports 123 and 3689 as well as UDP ports 123 and 5353.
    It made sense to me, but its still puzzling me after restarting a router would (in my first attempt) resolve the issue for a day.  This this time I applied the port forwarding TCP and UDP ports and saved the settings in the DLink DIR-655 and both my iPad2 and iPhone 3GS were now again finding the share. My ATV2 is also now accepting the Share.
    Tommorrow will be the true test.

  • HT4557 Can home sharing be done between just and ipad and iPhone?

    Can home sharing be done between just and ipad and iPhone?

    No. Home sharing is done from your iTunes library on your computer, not from one iDevice to another iDevice.

  • Shared file system between Int and ext server(DMZ) in R12.1.3 for iRec

    Dear Friends,
    we are using R12.1.3 and we planned to use iRec module.
    so we decided to go with External web tier and it will be placed in DMZ for external users.
    Is it possible to have shared file system between internal and external web server when external server is in DMZ?
    Is it safe to go with shared application Tier file system between internal and external server (or) to have seperate file system in externel web tier?
    Regards,
    DB

    Take a look at Note 380490.1 DMZ Deployment for R12.
    Also For Specific Load balancer 727171.1 Up to 12.x but alot of the information is still usefull based on hardware loadbalancer
    Also Note 1309013.1 has some good information on SSO/OAM Intergration with E-Business Suite

  • Home sharing not working between itunes and apple tv, I've read all help articles I could find... still nothing

    Hey there!
    Here's every detail of the problem:
    1- My iTunes (10.5.2) doesn't give me any options for apple tv in any menu. Some troubleshooting article I remember said something like «go to Settings - Apple TV - Always Search for Apple TVs» or something like that, yet my itunes settings have NOTHING for Apple TV.
    2- Following all setup instructions and usual troubleshooting solutions, i KNOW that all options and settings available to me are set correctly and everything  should work normally, yet my iTunes shows no recognition of my Apple TV AND my Apple TV «Computers» menu is nothing but a «Home Sharing is turned on, make sure that all Home Sharing devices are using the same Apple ID account» message.
    3- Of course, yes, all my devices ARE setup with the same Apple ID account, with Home Sharing turned on everywhere. Also I'm not using a Firewall, and none of my devices have any trouble connecting to my one and only router, all at once.
    So I figure the main problem is my itunes acting like Apple TV doesn't exist. Any ideas/solutions?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Home sharing not working between mac and pc, but it is fine between mac and mac. Help!!!

    Good Evening Dear Gurus,
    Hi, I am writing this to ask for help regarding home sharing. Yes I do know they are several threads out there that already explains or rather given solution on how to tackle this problem. BUT the my problem is rather different. I am no computer expert myself, so here is the problem, apparently MY MAC can home share with another MAC, but both of this MAC cannot home share with the PC.
    Does anyone encounter this kind of problem before? Can anyone help a poor guy out? Thanks in advance. love to hear from the community soon!
    Thanks!

  • Sharing iTunes Library between Mac and PC

    Hello
    I have a Windows PC at home and had a Dell laptop. I have my itunes library on an external hard drive. This worked perfectly since which ever machine I was on I had access to the same library. Recently my work upgraded my laptop to a Mac Book Pro with Snow Leopard. Is there a way to share this same library on my Mac? I am new to the Mac world and am a bit lost. Thanks in advance

    I have a similar setup. You need to move your itunes library to your network storage device. You need to do this within itunes (you will have to google moving your itunes library because I don't remember all the steps). After you moved the itunes library to a network share, you need to go into advanced preferences on each computer that will access the library and set the location of the itune library to point to the network share folder where the file itunes library.itl is located - the exit from Itunes. Restart Itunes on each computer (pressing shift on the Windows computers and option on the Macs). You will then have to choose the Itunes library. Browse to the network share and click on the itunes library.itl folder.
    Three notes. Only one computer at a time can access the library. Second, each time you switch back and forth between mac and pc, the library folder needs to be updated. Third, for some reason, with iTunes 9.0.2, the updating process has slowed down. It is especially slow taking 15 minutes or so for a 13GB library. Hope apple fixes this.

  • HT2534 Many devices with one apple ID between husband and wife....HOW!?

    So, when my wife and I are both using separate iPads, how do we NOT get all these messages intended for the other person? One Apple ID for .... four products (Each have an ipad and ipod) makes it hectic enough. Now it's a nightmare figuring what to do. went into settings and changed HER imessages to her email address and I'm not getting anything and she's getting all of them. SO, now my devices won't recieve imessages etc. etc.
    Hope someon knows how to do this so I don't have to purchase a whole lot of more itunes crap again just because I'm not smart enough to figure out how to use a different apple id and keep my music.
    Oh, and that's it, the music and apps. We couldn't care less about most of the apps since I'm the only one BUYING them and she uses almost all free ones, but the MUSIC IS ALL ON ITUNES! Do I need to backup the entire library onto a bunch of disks and then "relicense" them from myself? How much work could THAT possibly be worth? Gotta be a simple solution. Never had so many apple products and these are my wife's first.
    HELP!!!!!!!!!!

    We're screwwwwwed! Not THAT familiar to apple, just barely plugging along and dove in with two ipads and two ipod touches. Previous experience was just two ipods (160 GB) that I had to still rotate audio books out of every few months... well, for me. My wife doesn't use hers as much. ANYWAY, I lost a zillion things with the ipod classic since it didn't have a back-up option and many of the CDs I scrounged up when it first came out were already lucky to have survived college. 8 years later and the computer that had the original files had been replaced umpteen times. ipods failed and decided to quit being a tight wad. Not sure if these gifts are worth it yet.... well, two of them were.

  • Apple 23 cinema display and G5 computer

    Hi,
    I've just purchased a G5 computer and own an old 23' Apple cinema display. Unfortunately, my ACD DVI cable isn't compatible with the G5 DVI port. Since I am living abroad and will sooner come to the States. Does it exist a specific cable at apple store (or any retail store) to convert the ACD cable to make it work with my G5.
    Thanx for helping out!

    If it is the old 23" display (plastic case) with ADC cable, no power supply, and the computer only has DVI ports, you need a DVI to ADC adapter

  • Sharing Photo's between Aperture and iPhoto and syncing to iPads, etc

    Here is my problem.
    I have 5 Macs (1 iMac, 4 laptops.) There are 4 people in my family and we have the family pack of iLife. The iMac is where everything sits with a time capsule and Drobo hanging off of it - about 6 TB's of data. Each Mac sync's with a variety of iPods, iTouchs and iPads. All linked to a user. So for example, all my oldest son's devices sync with only his laptop.
    Well, I finally fixed my media (songs, movies, TV shows, etc) problem by leveraging home share in iTunes and authorizing all my Macs. But not so lucky yet for Photo's.
    Here is the my photo dilemma.
    I like Aperture for the editing and ability to handle large libraries better. So I have Aperture installed on the iMac where everything sits. iPhoto is also installed on the iMac and iPhoto is on all 4 other laptops. Prior to moving to Aperture, sharing photo's between computers was relatively easy using sharing in iPhoto - although it appears sharing in iPhoto is different than home share in iTunes. I converted my iPhoto library on the iMac to Aperture - now sharing is a pain in the neck.
    Ideally, a Home Share like feature would be built into Aperture and iPhoto with another feature that would allow you to "check for new photos" on the laptops and pull them into Aperture - but wishful thinking right now.
    So my while my 2 new iPads are awesome - they are basically useless for Photo's as they are synced to 2 laptops that use iPhoto, but all my Photos are in Aperture on the iMac.
    Thoughts anyone????
    Thanks

    What was the question?

  • Sharing a VLAN between FWSM and ACE (Routed Mode)

    Anybody in here with experience on sharing a Vlan between an ACE and a FWSM module?
    I have a transfer network between the ACE and the FWSM in the same chassis. FWSM gets several vlans and ACE gets some Vlans.
    I wanted to configure it like this.
    firewall vlan group 10 <FWSM only vlans>
    firewall vlan group 20 <shared FWSM and ACE vlan>
    or
    svclc vlan group 20 <shared FWSM and ACE vlan>
    svclc vlan group 30 <ACE only vlans>
    The design hides the client side network and the server side network for the ACE behind the FWSM module.
    Layout:
    |-- Clients <--> MSFC <--> FWSM <--> ACE <--> Server --|
    So allocation on the 65xx would be like this.
    firewall module n vlan-group 10,20
    svclc module n vlan-group 20,30
    Any obvious issues with this design if you share the vlan(s) referred in group 20 with both modules?
    FWSM and ACE will be in routed mode.
    Thanks for reading...

  • I cannot receive calls, though I am able to send them.  I see similar questions here, but no solutions that have worked.  If Apple monitored this community and provided answers, it would be helpful.  My next phone WILL NOT be an Apple product.

    I cannot receive coming calls. Calls do not go into voice mail and the greeting is not my voice or the default greeting.  This appears to be a common problem, regardless of carrier.  If Apple cared, they would monitor the forums and provide answers when possible.  Several people I know are replacing their iPhones with other devices.  My next phone WILL NOT be an iPhone.  iPhones are not worth the price.

    Go back and read the term of use you signed up for.   There is no Apple here in this user to user forum.
    The ability to make or receive calls fall on the phone carrier not Apple or iphone.
    Suggest you contact your phone carrier to resolve the issue.
    Also stating that your next phone won't be an iphone, doesn't mean anything here, we users don't care what phone you get next.

  • (UIX XML) Sharing Connection objects between BC4J and custom java.

    If I have a UIX XML page that contains some BC4J application modules, then in the event handler I call [public static EventResult handleMyEventEvent (BajaContext context, Page page, PageEvent event..) ], which in turn calls some java classes I have written that take a java.sql.Connection object and access the database doing some updates/inserts with this Connection object (via JDBC)....HOW CAN I USE THE SAME TRANSACTION AS WAS USED IN THE BC4J APPLICATION MODULE...i.e. CAN I SHARE THE CONNECTION OBJECT BETWEEN BC4J AND MY OWN JAVA CLASSES THAT USE JDBC?
    What are the best ways to share such a transaction?
    Thanks,
    Paul.

    Would it be easier to use a custom method on the bc4j Application module?
    Take this scenario...
    1. User opens UIX XML web page which opens a bc4j App Module..it has a VO based on all employees.
    2. User presses the add button and a new employee is created (using the bc4j App Module).
    (Notice: no commit yet!)
    3. User presses the submit button...fires event REVIEW_SALARY.
    4. This event is 'handled' in the event section of the UML XML...it calls:-
    public static EventResult handleREVIEW_SALARYEvent (BajaContext context, Page page, PageEvent event)...
    5. I now want to call a java class I wrote that computes an employees new salary and updates the employee record with this new salary. This update will fail unless it is part of the same transaction as the one used by the bc4j App Module (that inserted the new employee).
    How best to proceed from here?
    How about having a method on the bc4j App Mod's VO called 'reviewSalary'? Calling this would use the same transaction? I could then call my java class from within the VO's method? However do I still have the same problem in that my java class expects to be passed the connection object?
    The approach you suggested previously seems a touch dangerous....in that these are not 'publically exposed'...and a new release of JDev may break my code.
    Thanks,
    Paul.

  • Sharing a folder between LR and PS Elements

    Hi there-
    Im pretty new to LR, and have been experimenting moving photos back between LR and PS Elements 7. I cant seem though to find a way to get them to 'share' a single folder, rather it seems I need to have the same RAW file in 2 places.
    First I import my RAW files into LR, call it C:\Lightroom.
    I work on the pictures in LR, and while changes are made, there is no boxcar file added to c:\Lightroom. I have no idea how LR tracks or stores the changes.
    If I ask PSE 7 to import the files from c:\Lightroom, it will not recognize that any changes have been made, as there is no boxcar.
    If I ask LR to export the photos to c:\Lightroom, it refuses to overwrite the source file, and doesnt include the boxcar.
    I can ask LR to export to a different folder, call it c:\My Pictures. PSE7 can read those files with Boxcars fine. But any changes I make in PSE7 (for example I delete the file) will have no impact on LR, as those files are all in c:\Lightroom. And it does mean that each picture takes up twice as much space, one RAW file in c:\Lightroom and one in c:\My Pictures.
    Is there any way both programs can effectively use the saw RAW file in the same folder, with a minimum of hassle?

    That got me on the road, but now there seems to be another problem. In LR I now have a '?' in the upper right of the pciture which indicates 'sidecar file missing', and when I click on it its looking for the jpg, yet I dont think I ever created one, and I didnt see any in the folder before this.
    All I had done after toggling the XMP on is open up the pictures in Elements (where they opened up fine) and deleted one of them. Not sure why LR is on about a JPG.
