Sharing iphoto events on local network

I have shared my iphoto library and can read and transfer photo from one to another mac.
but only with album?
the events do not show up, only the album?
is it possible to transfer one or more events from one to another mac?
if I need to make album of everything i will transfer it will be a massive job!
how can i share events?

And what's up with the organization of the albums when looking at a shared library? No order at all. Not alphabetical, not chronological, nothing. Hard to find! It would be great if Apple would take the ability to treat these iPhoto libraries like the iTunes libraries... Then I could hit a button that says, "Not in my library" and import the pictures. OR...allow me to view the shared library by events just like my own and be able to right click on an event and select "import into my library".
C'mon Apple, I am disappointed by this lack of functionality that seems so "Apple-like".

Sharing iPhoto Events across two networked computersHi there,

Hi there, I have currently running a G5 Powermac and G4 Powerbook both running 10.5.2 I have now succesfully managed to set up a network share across the two computers. On the G5 I want to put all my photo's and videos so they are off the laptop hence freeing up space on it. When I open iPhoto on the laptop I can see the share with the G5 and the respective folders that pictures reside in but I cannot see the events that I have set up for groups of pics. Is it possible to share events in iPhoto across a network? Many thanks

Sorry, I decided to move my bigger Powerbook iPhoto library to the G5 Tower and save the few pics from the existing library on the G5 to the desktop to import later. I then relaunched iPhoto on the laptop holding the alt key and browsed through the network to the new library on the G5. On opening I get the message "The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it." I checked the library file and its not locked and it says I have permissions to read and write (using APPLE i) so any ideas on where I go from here?

Can you use screen sharing outside of your local network?

I've been poking around with the "screen sharing" in osx Lion. I have a few questions about it.
Firstly, is the built-in screen sharing only accessible through the finder?
Also, is it only available on local networks? I've gotten it to work on two computers on the same network. But, can I use in the built-in screen sharing to look at my work iMac while I'm at home on my Macbook? Or would I need a full VPN client to do this? (Although isn't there built-in VPN compatibility in Lion?)
Thanks!

Sharing Iphoto Library in a network

Hello all,
I have been looking for an answer and i hope you can help me. I use two macs, one for me one for my wife, and i just transferred all the pics to the time capsule, so both macs can access the same iphoto library, and they do perfectly fine, if it is done one a time. What we cannot do is access the library both macs at the same time, the first one to do it is ok, the second one gets a message "cannot access or have no authorizations to do it or the library is in a locked folder".
I guess mac software is able to work in a network as linux or even windows, where sharing files is possible. Could anyone tell me how to solve this little problem in order to work from both macs at the same time on the same folder?
Thanks for your help

Sharing files is easy but with iPhoto you're not sharing files, you're sharing a Database. That's a complex procedure on any OS.
Iphoto is designed as an application for a single user. It's not a Media Server. These are available - they go for about the $200 mark. There is no way for two users to access the iPhoto Library at the same time. Period.
Further, how are you connected to the Time Machine? A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.
You can use iPhoto Sharing. This allows one Library to see the other one. You set this up in the iPhoto Preferences.

Connecting to a shared printer on a local network

I want to connect my iBook G4 to my Dell Windows computer to utilize a shared printer on the Dell. We currently use a local area network. What do I have to do to my iBook to use this printer. Should the printers we are trying to connect to appear on my computer? I want to connect over our wireless network to a computer connected to our Dell Windows computer.
Thanks for your help.

I was having difficulty logging in to the server via. Finder, this is what worked for me.
Netgear Router - WNDR 4000
Mac OSX 10.5.8
After selecting "Connect to Server" in Finder I typed in "smb://readyshare" and I pushed the connect button. I was prompted with a username and password and I typed in the username and password that I use to log in to the Netgear router.
I recently upgraded from a WNDR3700 and I did not have to do the above. The readyshare server showed up in Finder a few minutes after I connected the USB drive.
This worked for me, hope it works for you.

What can I use to get shared media across OSes on my local network?

Hey guys,
My family is getting a new home entertainment center and I've thrown together a PC from spare parts around the house to put behind it and I'd like to know if there's a program out there that would allow me to gather shared media across the local network (everyone else in my family uses Windows...mainly Vista :-/ ). If not, is there any other way I can access the shared media (short of putting Windows on the PC of course)? I tried searching, but I couldn't seem to come up with anything.
Thanks in advance!

Alright, so I've been working with Samba today, and I believe I have it working properly. However, I can't seem to access any shared files/folders on machines that have Vista on them.
When I run smbtree, I get this output:
\\HOMEMEDIA
\\WINXPCOMP
\\VISTACOMP1
timeout connecting to 192.168.1.107:445
timeout connecting to 192.168.1.107:139
cli_start_connection: failed to connect to VISTACOMP1<20> (0.0.0.0). Error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
\\VISTACOMP2

cli_start_connection: failed to connect to VISTACOMP2<20> (0.0.0.0). Error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
\\WIN7PC
I'm not really sure what to do here. I've tried changing around settings in the smb.conf file, but I'm not really sure what exactly it is that I'm doing for every option. Also, smbtree sometimes won't output a tree at all and it will just hang. I'm quite confused, any suggestions on what I should try?
Also, one of my Windows 7 PCs won't show up on smbtree. I can ping it though...maybe it's not on the right workgroup?
EDIT: I was able to fix the problem with my second Windows 7 computer, apparently I had to change from 128-bit encryption to 40/56 bit encryption, then smbtree was able to pick up on it.

No local networks on mobile devices

AT&T advertises TV use on mobile devices but the choice is rediculous. I want LOCAL NEWS!Why would they offer only certain sporting events on local networks and not local news when you have every ESPN network there is anyway. I am in Birmingham, AL, I have the top package so I want LOCAL CHANNELS ALL THE TIME! I came from Charter and in a year I will go back is it doesn't change.

"Professionalism" indicates action by a "Professional"...and "Professional" is defined as activity as one's main paid occupation rather than as a pastime.
We (ACES) are NOT paid, therefore not professional and subsequently cannot be lacking in professionalism.
ATT employees are indicated as such when they post on these boards. The rest of us are customers like yourself.

Iphoto does not allow to share events on the local network

Hello,
I was trying to share the iphoto library on the local network and it seems to be that I only can share albums, but not events.
The help on sharing says:
"Select the “Share my photos” checkbox, and then choose your entire library or only the Events,
folders, albums, slideshows, books, calendars, or cards that you want to share."
According to this I should be able to share events, but I'm not. Events don't even appear in the list of possible shares. The list itself says "Share selected albums".
So is there a way to share events?
If not then it looks like a bug to me. Basically to share the events I would need to create an album for each event.
Thanks

It's a bug or an optimistic writer of Help files...
It's very easy to make an album from an Event: Simply drag the Event to the Albums section of the Source Pane - result an Album of the same name. As Albums simply reference files on the HD (unlike Events) you use no extra disk space, plus the options for sorting and arranging the photos are enhanced.

IPhoto won't open after sharing on local network

I have a Mac Mini OS 10.6.8 and an iMac OS 10.7.3 both running on a local network. The Mac mini has iPhoto 8.1.2 on it and the iMac has iPhoto 9.2 on it.
I accessed the Mini's iPhoto library from the iMac to do a project, and now I can't get iPhoto to open on the Mini. I keep getting a message that says, "You can't open your current iPhoto library using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
I have backed up my iPhoto Library to my external hard drive. I have tried rebuilding permissions in iPhoto and I went to the users/.../Library/Preferences/com.apple.iphoto.plist and deleted the prefs file in an effort to get iPhoto to open on the Mini, but no such luck. I have checked for updates to my software for the Mini, and nothing is needed.
What is my next course of action? Do I need to upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto?
Thanks for your help!

Yes - either reload a backup on the mini from before you upgraded the library to iPhoto '11 or upgrade the mini to iPhoto '11
When you opened the library you were notified that the library would be upgraded and could not be opened by previous versions - you said to go ahead and that is exactly what was done

How to import iphoto events from remote library into local library

I know how to access my MBA's iphoto library from my imac, however I don't know how to import any event/photo into my local imac's library. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Once that opens by default with iphoto, then... went to Finder again, Pictures, right click on iphoto library (local Imac library) and select "open with" = Aperture.
There I had my MBA's library opened on iphoto and my local Imac library opened on Aperture. I simply dragged the events from iphoto to Aperture. Worked like a charm..
PS: It is obvious to say that for this to work, both Imac and MBA have to be Shared in the same network
That works, but there is a better way with Aperture. The problem. If you drag the photos from Aperture to iPhoto, you only transfer the previews and you lose quality, because you do not transfer the high quality originals.
Aperture can do more for you:
Select the event (in Aperture "Projects") you want to transfer in the library Inspector and then use "File > Export > Project as new Library". This will create a new photo library with only the elected items.
Then open your destination iPhoto library in Aperture and select the command "File > Import > Library" and select the partial library with your events. Aperture will now merge this library into your iPhoto library.
This way, you will transfer the originals and all editing, keywords, etc, and effectively merge your iPhoto libraries preserving all your work.

Sharing iphoto library on network drive

Hello,
I'd like to use the same iPhoto library on two Macs.
Therefore, I intend to use my time capsule as a network drive. I learned from other posts that I can easily move my iPhoto library to the network share. Using two laptop on the same photo library, however, is not that easy. It seems that if both are accessing the library at the same time , unpredictable behavior might result.
Is it possible to avoid that issue or is there another software for photo management that can work with a shared library?
Thanks
Armin

I learned from other posts that I can easily move my iPhoto library to the network share.
True. Drag and drop is easy.
But it will damage your Library and risks data loss. See this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168
for more. Note the comment:
“Additionally, storing the iPhoto library on a network rather than locally on your computer can also lead to poor performance or data loss.”
Next:
It seems that if both are accessing the library at the same time , unpredictable behavior might result.
Nothing unpredictable at all. It either won't work or it will corrupt the Library. iPhoto is not a server application. It's a single-user database.
There are server apps, they start at around the $200 mark.
If you want to share the Library between two machines put it onto a portable hard drive, formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and plug it into either machine as necessary.

File sharing and music sharing in iTunes not working on local network

Hi Folks
I am now going to make a topic of my own this time. Here is how it doesn´t work:
I have a MBP with Mac OS 10.5.4 connected via Airport to my local network. The switch is a zyXel 2602HW-D1A. On my network there is an iMac Flat Panel 800 mHz and an even older iMac bondiblue rev. A. Both of the old ones are running (smoothly) on Panther. The two old ones are connected via ethernetports (wired) on the zyXel-switch. I also have an Apple TV connected wireless to the switch. There is also two printers connected to the network.
Until recently, don´t know exactly when, everything has worked just fine. The two old macs showing up perfectly in the sidebar of a Finder window. I could also connect to them via the command K. Musicsharing in iTunes also worked very well. But now it is impossible for my MBP to connect to the other Macs. They show up rarely in the sidepane af the Finder window, but when i try to make a connection it is impossible. It just turns the little wheel for a short while and then it says connecting failed. Also the command K command doesn´t work. The other way round is no problem. The two old ones connect perfectly together and to the MBP. Musicsharing is also lost FROM the MBP. There is absolutely no problems in the connection to the Apple TV from the MBP as well. All three Macs connect perfectly to the internet. I can also print from the MBP. AND it strangely connects perfectly to all PCs on my job-network, it is a PC only, LAN.
So far i have tried almost any combination of turning on and off firewall, allow only special sharing etc. For now the firewall is set allow everything to connect (and it has always been that way) Network settings has also been toggled in any way they can. I have done all three cron jobs and repaired permissions a few times. The zyXel switch has also been reset and restarted.
I also have a strange minor problem: I can´t open log via the show log button in the advanced pane of firewall settings. There just nothing happening when i click the button. I also had another problem in turning on Airport the other day. I toggled on and off a few settings (Appletalk on and off did the trick) and then it suddenly worked.
I have a strange feeling of something corrupt on my MBP. Or is it just that networking on Leopard is a bit unstable??
I would appreciate some help her. I am sure that the problem lies within the MBP, or what do you think?
Cincerely
Mads

Thanks - the weekend was very pleasant indeed!
I agree that something seems to awry in the Leopard MBP. The question is "what". The symptoms now are:
1) iTunes music sharing from MBP is broken
2) Connecting to Panther Mac via AFP is broken (although one Mac can be connected via IP address)
3) Machine works well on a Windows network
Based on all of this, I would guess that there is a problem in the "Bonjour" networking of the MBP. You could try:
1. Using a different account to see if it is local to your user id.
2. Failing that, removing your com.apple.AppleFileServer.plist and com.apple.AppleShareClient.plist files from /Library/Preferences
Outside of that, I would have to do some more digging.

Web sharing beyond local network

I've found instructions to turn on the apache server in Mavericks and I've got it working. But the sites are only available on my local wifi network. Is there a way for me to share a webpage beyond my local network? I'm working on a design for a friend and don't have a way for her to see it.

Heya,
You need to configure your virtual host file to have http://localhost/ point to the coinciding folder that the website is stored at. Web sharing is really meant to be used for local testing of server side scripts before they're launched on a live site, not hosting of static html pages. Although Web Sharing can be used for static pages as well, but you'd have to configure your virtual server regardless so that http://localhost, http://IP-Address, http://student-1-local-site, http://student-2-local-site (or whatever you set in the configuration) points to the directory where your site(s) are stored.
That a look at this page www.DwFAQ.info/home.php?id=18 and read section #3 which explains how to configure your virtual hosts.

Drag/Drop playlists between shared PCs via local network.

Prior to Itunes ver 11.0.0.163, I was able to copy thru the drag/drop process a Itunes Home Shared playlist of music files on one computer - to another Home Sharing enabled Itunes playlist, on another computer via local network. How is this done now?

It appears with the release of Itunes ver 11.0.1.02 that this bug has been corrected. Please close out this thread. Thanks.

Local network: sharing of printers connected to a pc windows xp from imac

hello,
i have a local network made of:
-an imac 24 with leopard 10.5.6
-and a pc with windows xp sp2 on which two printers (hplaser & epson) are connected in a mode sharing status;
the network is connected to internet by a router; all links are ethernet cable in the network;i use bit defender 2009 as antivirus in the pc (my pc is indiquated without virus by bitdefender)
I can share from the imac my file in the pc through the net work (192.168.1.3);
the working group name is the same on imac and pc (this is why I can share files)
but I cannot share the printers; none is visible through the menu fax & printers under windows; even the name of the working goup does not appear;
the apple assistance could not answer that simple question;
has anybody a solution for this simple mixed configuration
(before i was using windows 2000 pro which created no problem for this sharing of printer between imac and pc-now with xp sp2 it seems cumbersome...)
thank you for your kind help

Hi campbellpauln,
On your Win7 computer, remove any previous install attempt. Then run the driver install for your computer, you can download a Win7 driver for your printer.
When it gets to the connect a USB cable screen, just put a check in the "I'm not going to connect now" box.
This will load the driver on your computer.
This time when you go to add printer and connect across the network to the shared printer, your Win7 computer should list this model and just install.
I was an HP employee.
Please mark the post that solves your problem as "Accepted Solution"
