Sharing two computers on the same network

I have a mac mini and a mac air and wish to synch/share the entire Itunes with each other.  I have turned on home sharing but do not see the devices listed with each other.  They are both on the same network and can be seen by apple tv.

The only way I know to share iTunes Libraries is to do what you said you did. Turn on Home Sharing for both devices. You will only see the device's Library (under Shared) in the Sidebar of iTunes. You won't see the actual device.
For example I have an rMBP and a Mac Mini. Both have Home Sharing turned on in iTunes. From the Mac Mini, I see the rMBP's iTunes Library. From the rMBP, I see the Mac Mini's iTunes Library.

  • Weird issue when trying to use two computers on the same network.

    Hi all...i just just moved house and i'm using a different connection with my time capsule.
    basically i've just plugged the modem into the ethernet port on the timecapsule as usual, and now for some reason me and my partner cannot use the computers to access the net at the same time
    my access will halt as soon as he starts, and the only way to gain access again is to renew the DHCP lease, which subsequently boots him off....
    anyone know how to fix this?

    it's a wireless modem. not like a usb stick with a 3g connection. it's called unwired here in australia....its crap, but im using it for the next few days until my cable connection is installed at the new house.
    it's pretty much the same as a regular modem and has an ethernet port on it which you can either use to connect directly into your system, or plug into a router or wifi (or in my case, time capsule which i'm using as the wireless base station)
    i've just done the usual thing of plugging the ethernet cable from the modem into my time capsule, and it seems to work fine as long as it's only one user on the network. but as soon as someone else jumps in, their system gets access and mine stops. the only way to get mine working again is to renew the DHCP lease in networking preferences, but that ends up booting the other person off.
    i havent changed any settings at all and we never had this issue at the old house...so i'm not sure if its some configuration with the time capsule, or if it's something weird about the dodgy modem i'm using...

  • Can you setup handoff to work with two mac computers on the same network?

    I am attempting to setup handoff to work with two computers on the same network. I cannot seem to get it to work. Should I be able to?

    I'm not sure but I haven't seen anything on the Apple site that indicates that it would not work. The following troubleshooting documents may help: Get help using Continuity with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite - Apple Support
    Note in particular the Mac models supported. The other thing that occurs to me is that in addition to being on the same network they would have to be within Bluetooth range of each other.

  • How to fix the "Two computers using the same IP address" issue on the airport express

    I just bought an airport express and got dsl at my apartment, and I haven't been able to set up the wireless connection. My DSL works just fine but whenever I hook up the AX I get an error message saying that there are two computers using the same IP address on the network, but I only have one computer.
    I know this is probably a simple fix, but I've never had this issue when I set up the Extreme at my parents house and I haven't been able to find a thread on this.
    As of right now I have it set to Factory settings.
    Help please!

    This modem was designed to connect directly to a computer and you are trying to connect it to a router.
    Unfortunately, this is not a simple fix as both the modem and your AirPort Express will need to be configured differently to work together correctly.
    Connect the modem directly to your computer.
    Open up your browser and type the default IP address for the modem into the address bar. Check your documentation on the modem but it is likely 192.168.1.254
    That will bring up the configuration page for the modem.
    You may need to enter the modem access code which is on a label on the back or bottom of the device
    Look for an Advanced tab, then look for a tab labeled something like PPP Location
    Right now, you will see that "PPP is on the modem"
    Chance that to "PPP is on the computer or router"
    Click to save your new settings and the modem will restart
    If you ever need to get the modem back to its original settings, you will need to hold in the reset button on the back of the modem for 5-6 seconds and then enter in the default IP address to be able to access the settings on the modem
    Connect the modem to the AirPort Express with an Ethernet cable
    Open AirPort Utility on your Mac and click Continue to follow the guided setup to "Create a wireless network"
    You may be asked to "switch" networks when you do this. You want to switch
    Select the "Connect Using PPPoe" option when it appears
    Enter your user name and password with your provider. Leave the Service Name area blank. You want to always stay connected if you see that option
    Continue to follow the guided setup and Update to save settings
    Pull the power cord from the modem, wait a moment, then restart the modem
    Log on to the wireless network that you created during the setup and you should have an Internet connection

  • One again, "can I use CC on two computers at the same time?" - in practice.

    I know this has been asked before and all those threads are locked. Many asked the question, but I haven't found a satisfying answer yet.
    Can I multi task with CC?
    I want to have my laptop next to my desktop. And while I render, export or whatever my newly shot documentary on the laptop I want to work with a music video project on my desktop. Then when the render is finished I render the music video and go back to the laptop and continue on the documentary. Or maybe I just work 5 minutes on the desktop music video, then come up with something brilliant for the project on the laptop and switch. Back and forth. Will that kind of activity result in any kind of limitation, usage-wise?
    So, working on Premiere on my two computers at the same time.. is it possible? Technically? I know the EULA says "only one person". But will it let one person mutli task?
    I need to know this before I buy. sorry for asking this again, please bless me with a clear answer

    Hi Jimmy Crim,
    Yes in case of Creative cloud subscription you are allowed to install and use the cc apps in any two machines.
    Even if you want you care allowed to use these apps together in both the machines.
    Thanks

  • How can I uniquely identify computers on the same network/account specifically for airdrop use?  When I change name on one computer under contacts if changes on all computers.

    How can I uniquely identify computers on the same network/account specifically for airdrop use?  When I change name on one computer under contacts it changes on all computers.  I would like to change icon and name for each computer.

    you would need to setup a VPN and tunnel into your office.
    FYI..the default ports are 3283 and 5900.

  • Two computers share the same wi-fi Modem . When computer A reads a message it is marked as read on both PC's, not allowing computer B to see what must be read.

    Two computers share the same WI-fi Modem . When computer A reads a message it is marked as read on both PC's, not allowing computer B to see what must still be read. Email is Thunderbird.
    Please help, Thank you for this online support option

    Imap wasn't designed for this kind of multi user situation. It assumes that you the account owner will be using it to manage one account via multiple devices. So once you have read a message it has been read, regardless of which device you were using at the time.
    You appear to be describing a situation where you want more than one user to read each message, without anyone knowing if anyone else has read it or even dealt with it. Frankly, I can't imagine a set of circumstances where this workflow would make sense or be useful.
    You can do various things such as manually setting messages as unread, or moving them from one folder to another to indicate that they have been processed, but much of this relies on users being thorough and conscientious.
    You may need to be running your own server to do this sort of email message managing, if you really need to fork a message so it gets to multiple recipients. Managing which users see a particular message is a job for a server, not the end-user's email client.

  • Two computers using the same display

    Can I use one cinema display with two computers ate the same time. that is, can i have my MBP and a Mac Mini connected and switch between the two?

    Try Gefen and have a look in their Apple Section.
    I think a 2-1 DVI KVM switch is all you need. But of course the HD Mate Scaler will do everything.

  • Is it possible to control itunes dj from other computers on the same network?

    is it possible to control itunes dj from other computers on the same network?  we have a computer running itunes connected to our speakers here at work, and we'd like to be able to control it through the other comptuers on the network.  is this possible, or do you have to use iphones/ipads/etc?

    AC is corret you can do that.  It might work a bit better for you if you use a wired connection vs a wireless one for the ATV's.

  • Cannot connect two computers to the same game server HELP!

    I have a Linksys WRT54G Router.  I have two computers and I want to be able to use them on the same gaming server.  Unfortunately, the game only have one port, so I can only port forward one of my computers.  How can I configure my router to have two external IP addresses to the server so it won't kick one of my computers out.  Thanks!

    Hi,
    I am in a gaming community and many members have a Linksys at home (but I don't know which kind exactly). Many of us try to connect two computers to the same server (many have a family). It seems it is a common problem that no one can connect two computers to the same game server.
    I have a BEFSR41 V3 Firmware version 1.04.8
    I use fixed IP address and no connectivity problem on Internet.
    I have win XP SP2 on both computer.
    I am using a DSL modem
    I can connect the two computers to two different game servers at same time, but not the same server. Default port for this game is the same for all servers I use. I tried with both port forwarding enabled (in that case one PCs can connect the other not) or not (in the second case, whenever the second PC connects, the first one lose his connection to the server, no mater the order I try to connect my PCs).
    Now the weird thing is that one member in my community just decided to throw away his Linksys router and he bought another brand (which I won't name to remains politically correct). Now, without changing anything in his PCs or his connection type, he can now play with two PC on the same server.
    I am seriously thinking doing the same move. Since more and more game are now using Internet (and servers that controls piracy, $$) and family want to play together, not being able to connect two PCs on the same game server makes Linksys in bad situation from marketing point of view.
    For example, in my gaming communtity, we now all know that Linksys can't handle two PC on same server, but other brand can...
    Thank you in advance for your help.

  • PLEASE HELP. Two computers with the same External IP Address

    I have two computers with the same IP address which is causing problems. I tried to ipconfig/release ipconfig/renew but I get the error "No operation can be performed on a Local Area Connection* 11 while it has its media disconnected.
    I tried resetting router/modem, made sure "Obtain an IP address automatically" are all enabled. DHCP is enabled.
    Two of the computers have the same one and the other IP is completely different (not 1 or 2 off). When I open the router settings and click DHCP Reservation it shows the IPs 1 number off and all different like you said. i.e ***.***.*.106, ***.***.*.107,
    ***.***.*.108. But with the proxy service I'm using, when trying to allow each computer to use them it shows different IP addresses than what is shown in the DHCP Reservation.
    If I clone my MAC address the identical IP of the two computers changes but they'll still share the same IP. The third doesn't change.
    I tried ipconfig /release - ipconfig /renew - ipconfig /flushdns nothing yet. Not sure about your #2 and #3. And I just updated my firmware.
    Anyone with expertise? Thanks.

    Cyber_Defend_Team and ZigZag3143x I powered down all three computers and turned off/reset the modem and router.
    I restarted them one by one and after, the two computers with the conflicting IP address changed their IPs but their IPs are still conflicting.  The third computers IP stayed the same.
    What else can we do?

  • Use two interfaces on the same network

    Hello every one,
    I actually starting to work on a cisco project. I'm a beginner on networking and cisco technologie.
    For my project we use a router 2921.
    We got two network:
    - Network A: 192.198.0.X / 255.255.255.0 / Gateway 192.198.0.1
    - Network B: 162.168.0.X / 255.255.0.0 / Gateway 162.168.0.1
    Each network use switch, Switch A (connecting to network A) is connected to interface G0/0.
    And Switch B (connecting to network B) is connected to interface G0/1.
    Router well configured as:
    - G0/0: ip address 192.198.0.1 255.255.255.0 (network A)
    - G0/1: ip address 162.168.0.1 255.255.0.0 (network B)
    Every think working fine.
    The problem is with this one, we need to connect a computer on G0/2. This computer is configure as network A (192.198.0.10 / 255.255.255.0 and same gateway).
    I can't configure G0/2 as 192.198.0.1 255.255.255.0 (network A), cause G0/0 use this adresse.
    I can't put this computer on the switch A, my only physical possibilité is to connect him on G0/2.
    We just need to use interface G0/0 and G0/2 as a switch on the router with the same gateway (192.198.0.1)
    How can i connect this computeur? How can i configure two interfaces on the same network and same gateway?
    Thanks you

    I would just put the PC on a different network, but if you really want it to be in the same network, you could use IRB to connect two of the interfaces on the router at layer 2.
    Here is an example config for IRB:
    interface FastEthernet0/0
    bridge-group 1
    interface FastEthernet0/1
    bridge-group 1
    bridge irb
    interface BVI1
    ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
    bridge 1 route ip
    Notice that the physical ports do not have IP addresses on them, the IP for the subnet is on the BVI interface.
