Sharing podcasts between pc & a mac.

I listen to a majority of my podcasts on my 21 inch Imac. Is there a way to share podcasts to ICloud & laptop pc? I'd like to listen to the same podcasts on my laptop.

Sorry I should explained it better. I'm talking about how it seems the OSX iTunes is doing some converting when the library was last opened with the Windows iTunes. It takes 30 minutes for this coversion to complete. If I open the library in OSX, and it was last accessed by the OSX iTunes, there is minimal delay. I assume there is some conversion because (1) the iTunes Library file increases in size; and (2) the kind of file reported by OSX changes from iTunes Database File to a Unix Executable File.

Sharing files between users and macs

My husband and I share an iMac. I have a MBA for traveling and my husband a PC laptop (though he rarely uses for private stuff). We both have iPhones.
We are looking for a way to:
- Share our photos (we don't use iPhoto) and some files. We would like to have this in one shared folder, that we can access from both accounts in the iMac, the MBA and ideally (though not a must) the PC and iPhones. We would both need to have admin rights to edit documents, etc.
- Have access to all the information in my account on the iMac from the MBA. Ideally, same thing for his and the PC.
- Have access to all the data remotely when traveling.
- Have all the data backed up locally (we already have a cloud backup, but we'd like to have a local backup too as it's easier and quicker to access)
We have read a lot about configuration, NAS, time capsule... but we get more and more confused, as we are obviously no tech experts.
Dropbox is not our preferred choice. We already have a cloud backup system. We'd rather have the files stored and accessed locally for everyday use.
Using a NAS to store shared folders and backup the rest sounds good, but they either seem very complicated to set up, or they have mixed reviews in terms of stability, especially to access files remotely.
Timecapsule seems easier and more straightforward, but I'm not sure it would solve the "sharing files between users and macs with admin rights"? It seems to be more focused on backing up the main drive and then providing access to the backed up files. (Though I might be completely mistaken!)
We just can't manage to have one shared folder between both accounts in the iMac. We need to grant admin rights document by document. We don't manage to make it work automatically so we both have one folder to access with full rights for all the contents inside it. And this seems to me like something that should easily be done...?
Any help, advice, proposals... would be greatly appreciated!!!

Move any file you want to the other user to access to the Shared Folder. Anything you put in that folder is available to all users.
The shared folder is here:

Problem setting up shared printer between PC and Mac with 10.6

I am trying to setup a shared printer between my Mac and PC. I have a HP K80 attached to my PC (which has Vista Home Premium). I have a Macbook pro with 10.6. I have shared the printer on the PC side. From the Mac I have added the printer via Windows Printer sharing, but for some reason I cannot print to the printer. Everytime I try to print, the job just pauses. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Thanks I installed the gutenprint drivers and tried this, and now all working:

Printing to a Shared PC Printer
This article describes how to print from Mac OS X to a shared printer connected to a Windows XP machine. It assumes the computers are already networked and that you can access the PC's files. These instructions are relevant for Mac OS X 10.2 upwards. The instructions may work with Vista. I don't have the means to try it.
1. Find the IP address of your PC - go on Start > Run. Type in cmd and click run. Now type in ipconfig /all and hit enter. This should give you the machine's IP address.
2. Share the printer. Open up Printers and find the one you want to share. Right-click and choose Share. Now click the 'Share this printer' radio button. Now choose a sharing name. Keep it simple - e.g. HP, Office, PC etc.
3. Open a web browser on your Mac and type localhost:631 in the address bar
4. You should now have the Common UNIX Printing System web interface up. Click the 'Add Printer' link.
5. Type a name for the printer, making sure you don't include /, # or space characters. Click continue.
6. Select Windows Printer via SAMBA from the Device list and click continue.
7. For the URI, you need to include a username and password for an account on your PC. You then need to enter a URI in the following format: smb://username:password@ipaddress/printer. So for example smb://johndoe:[email protected]/HP
8. Choose your printer's make, or if you have a PPD file for the printer, choose that. Click continue and choose your printer's model. Now click Add Printer.
9. Done! You now have a list of options for changing the various properties of the printer.
You don't need to be on the same workgroup or domain as your PC, just the same subnet. If both your Mac and PC are connected to the same router, either wired or wirelessly, then you should be on the same subnet.
Thanks guys

Sharing Library Between PC and Mac

Hello all,
I recently transferred my iTunes library from the PC to an AirDisk. The annoying thing is that when I open iTunes on the Mac, it does the "Updating iTunes Library" which takes a while to complete. When I open iTunes on the PC, it does the same thing. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Or is this the nature of sharing an iTunes library between PC's and Mac's?
Thanks

Sharing music between 2 authorized Macs

I Have 2 Macbook Pros. One is in my office and one is my travelling Mac. I have home sharing on, and auto trasfer music, I am also leaving both laptops open. But the music diesn't sync? What am I dong wrong?

Home Sharing only works between Macs that use your Apple ID and that are connected to the same network. Also, Home Sharing does not sync music, but it allows you to transfer songs between two computers.
The option you have to sync music is probably to download your purchased songs from the iTunes Store automatically in all your computers. This is the option you are looking for, but to transfer songs that were not bought through the iTunes Store, you will have to transfer them manually

Sharing Files between PC and Mac

I have a PC running Windows Vista, and a new Macbook. I have set folders on my PC to share with other computers on my network, and I have shared my printer as well on this same network. I can connect to my PC from my Mac using the "Connect to Server" button in the Finder, and I can easily take files from my PC and copy them onto my Mac.
The thing is, I have a few files that I downloaded from the internet saved onto my Mac, and I have to put them onto my Windows PC, but whenever I open a finder window into my Vista shared folder, I can see all the things that are in the folder, but when I try to put files from my Mac into the folder, it says (on the mac) that I need to provide Administrator permissions for this. I don't ever get a chance to provide this permission, and it just says "Access is denied".
What can I do to copy the files from my Mac to my PC? Is there some way of getting the Mac to ask me for a password or something on the PC? I have an administrator account on there as well, so it isn't a problem in that respect!
Thanks

Sharing files between paralells and Mac OS X

Hi,
I read that you can drag and drop files between Paralells windows xp and Mac OS X.
don't know what I am doing wrong but this is not working for me. For one thing when inside the XP window I can't even move the mouse to my OS X desktop.
Is there a way to share folders?
Thanks

I believe you have to install the Parallel Tools for Windows. Do this when you first launch your new Windows virtual session.
Also make sure you have the latest Parallels version. It really is as easy as dragging and dropping files from one window to the other once all is configured.

Sharing files between pc and mac using ipod ?

I have a PC at work and Mac at home. My work email only allows 10MB enclosures and my work files are often 100MB.
I want to take the files and not the processor home to work on. Can i do this using my colour iPod ?
What i did is format the iPod on the PC and then fill it and sync it with my Mac at home. I did this because i believed that whilst a Mac can read PC file structures the reverse is not true.
Problem is that i get an error message from iTunes each time when it tries to sync up. So the sync seems to abort rather than complete.
Anyone any ideas/experience that may be relevant ?

btw the error is
"Attempting to copy to the disk "Guy_s iPod" failed. The file name was invalid."
and then it says
"The iPod "Guy's iPod II" cannot be updated. The disk could not be read or written to."

File sharing problem between XP and MAC when using Airport Extreme

I recently got a Time Machine to replace my flaky Linksys Wireless N router and since I've done that I can't connect to my PC running Windows XP and was able to before. I have made sure my firewall settings are correct and have gone through many different settings on Time Machine but still no luck.
I have my PC directly connected via ethernet to the Time Machine and my Mac is wireless. I'm able to ping the IP address of the Mac from my PC but can't ping in the opposite way.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Sharing photos between multiple users on one Mac

I'm trying to figure out how to easily share photos imported in by one user to other users in my family on my mac. I'm assuming we don't have to import them multiple times. It seems cumbersome to this new mac user to share them. I find the issue with iTunes. Any help?

HI Darien,
Here are all the links I have for the different kinds of sharing:
SHARING IPHOTO LIBRARIES
Sharing libraries between users on the same local network
You can also share a library on the same machine between users the same way.
Sharing libraries between users on the same machine...
-both users must have sharing enabled in their iPhoto Preferences
-both users must be logged in and have iPhoto running
-Remember that you can only view the other library. You can't edit the photos or play the saved slideshows or view the made books or burn them to CD or DVD. The books and slideshows will show up as an album. You can play that album as an "on the fly" slideshow. You can drag images from the sharing library to your library in the source column to import them to your library. You can then edit, add to albums, books, slideshow, etc.

SHARING ONE IPHOTO LIBRARY BETWEEN USERS ON SAME MACHINE
You can try one of these three methods:
1- Use iPhoto Library Manager-the paid version
The documentation page will give instructions on how it is done.
2- Sharing one iPhoto library between several users on one machine
3- Share an iPhoto Library in tiger Using ACL's
4- I have also read about ShareAlike
There is no other info on the site about how it works.
I strongly urge anyone wanting to try any of the methods for sharing one iPhoto Library folder among more than one user to backup all iPhoto Library folders before attemptin anything.

File Sharing problem between two macs on the same network.

How to create shared folder between mac and windows

how to create shared folder between mac and windows

Us ean external drive formatted FAT32 or ExFat. Both OSx and Windows can read/write to the drive and both can use the same data files as long as you have a program that can open and save these files. For example, Word running both on OSx and on Windows will be able to work with the same document on the external drive.

Tuxera NTFS-3G vs MacDrive / Sharing volumes between Mac and PC

Hi all,
I have a number of external hard drives (and am thinking of getting an external RAID array) which I need to share between Windows and Mac OS X. This is not just for backups it is for storing video media and projects (Final cut Pro/Sony Vegas) and working on them. The two sensible solutions seem to be Tuxera NTFS-3G and MacDrive. I'me inclined to go fro NTFS as that is what most of my drives are currently but would like to know what people thing.
Regards,
Ben

Thanks for that,
Do you know how Paragon and Tuxera NTFS compare.
In terms of NAS as I am dealing with big video files I dont want to have to transfer everything over a network.

Best practices for sharing iPhoto libraries across multiple Macs

I have a pair of iMacs running 10.6.x. and iPhoto 11 connected via Ethernet to an Airport Extreme. I am looking for a way to share my iPhoto library between the two Macs.
I found an Apple Support note on the topic (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198) which states that a disk image is a supported location for a shared iPhoto library (with limitations acceptable to me) and it strikes me that this would be a way of hosting a shared iPhoto library onto a NAS device.
Am I missing a simpler solution or, more importantly, am I missing any blindingly obvious caveats? I'd love to hear from anybody who has tried this (successfully or otherwise) or anybody who has a better idea. I haven't bought a NAS device yet, so I'm open to alternative suggestions.
Specific requirements:
Members of my family use either one of a pair of iMacs.
The only user who edits the iPhoto library is me and I only need read/write access from one machine.
iPhoto library access limited to one user at a time is acceptable and practical in my case.

Easiest:
If the other users only get to see the Library then just use iPhoto Sharing.
Enable sharing in the iPhoto Preferences on the Host machine, then go to the other macgine and in the same location enable 'Look for Shared Libraries'
Other forms of sharing will give the users read/write access to the Library.
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.

Share iTunes libraries between Windows and MAC

Hi all i've an wifi via "Base AirPort" i've an HD shared between MAC and Windows sistem via the BASE, the iTunes library that i've stored in the HD is non redable for iTunes on Windows because it need an *.itl file...
How can i share an iTunes library between Windows and MAC???

I would like to report back that after struggling for months to get Tune Ranger to work that it is complete rubbish. The first time I tried to sync my libraries (between an empty iTunes library and my existing one) it created duplicates all over the place in my library and generally made a huge mess of everything. The support person (who I suspect is the only person over there) gave me some guff about my id3 tags being corrupt but it was clear that every song that appeared in a playlist was getting duped. Once I fixed this (many weeks later) I tried a one way sync after fiddling with the preferences of Tune Ranger to try to make it work, but it simply wouldn't.
I don't know if anyway has had success using TR where they are also trying to sync playlists, but if you have, I would certainly like to know what you settings are.
