Stream video from one mac to another mac via iTunes?

I've had trouble streaming purchased iTune video (TV episodes) from my primary computer (Power PC iMac G5) to two other macs (IntelMac iMac & MacBook). I can get the videos to stream about 50% of the time. The other half of the time, iTunes freezes up on the MacBook or IntelMac iMac when I try to open the shared iTunes video that is residing on the G5 iMac. I can always stream music computer to computer without any problem. I am using Airport express as my wireless router.
Any ideas as to why videos don't always stream?
Thanks.

Can I stream video from one iPad to another?

There is an app that does this, but it is not available in the US store. Is there another way to do it?
Note that I am not talking about sending simply sending vid from one to another--I want to stream in real time, using one iPad as a monitor to see what the other is seeing somewhere else.

It is possible that you an do this with the use of a third party app from the app store. However, Apple does not support this right now.

You should be syncing your contact to your computer.
You can probably find a way to get the contacts from your computer to your new phone.

How to transfer songs from one iPad to another iPad using iTunes?

You can't without a third party app. If you didn't purchase the Music with your Apple ID or if the music was imported from CD's on your friends iTunes library, syncing will not work ....nor will transferring purchases.
Look at this app .... TouchCopy

You don't. Such is not supported.

I changed my service from one 3G to another 3G. Itunes recognizes the previous owner's name and password only. How do i change to mine?

I moved my service from one 3G to another 3G. Itunes recognizes the name and password of the previous owner; how do I change to mine?

The previous owner did not erase all content and settings on the iPhone or restore the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the iPhone's backup?
Obviously not, so I suggest doing so. When you say password, are you referring to the Passcode Lock?

Move file from one library to another library via SharePoint 2010 Designer Workflow

Can SharePoint 2010 designer be able to move a file from one library to another using workflow? I tried to use the copy list item but it won't show my destination library. I prefer not to use the 3rd part workflow like
http://www.codeplex.com/SPDActivities
Please advise.

Hi Brain,
From your narration, I undersatnd that you want to move document to another library across site or site collection. However,
the copy list item action is used for coping list item to another library or list in the same site, so you can’t achieve it through ootb workflow action. So to move document to another library across site under the same site collection, then you can use site
content and structure. If across site collection, then I suggest you use that the 3<sup>rd</sup> part workflow action.
For more information about site content and structure,

HT201343 Is there a way to stream video from one iOS device to another?

My family and I are going on an extended vacation and we want to make sure the kids have enough videos to keep them busy on very long flights. I'm taking my MacBook Pro and was wondering if there's a way to stream video our different iOS devices without preloading movies on every device.

If the MBP was connected to inflight WiFi like Gogo it might be possible. Then you use the MBP as a hotspot using internet sharing. The iOS devices connect to the MBP. I'm not sure if Its allowed in flight but give it a try.

Streaming Movie from one iMac to another

I hope this is a quick issue.
I have had a Mac Mini for several years connected in our family room to a Sony TV. We use iTunes to watch movies and it works very well. I have a 2 terabit external drive (iomega) with Firewire, but at this point the Itunes library is on the Mac Mini's hard drive.
I have another mac (27 inch) which has a larger hard drive and a Thunderbolt 6 TV Raid (3 tb mirror). I curently have the itunes library on that mac located on my 256 gig SD drive (second hard drive is 2 TB disk).
I was planning on moving the itunes library to the RAID and running movies in the family room via home sharing.
So last night we tried to watch a movie stored on my SD drive accross the wired network to the family room. It played fine for about 5 minutes and then just stopped. When I tried to restart the movie the Mac Mini said I could not because home sharing was not on! I checked it was.
I then used the finder to log onto that mac again and the movie showed up in the shared section on iTunes but again would not play for more than a few minutes.
So what am I doing wrong?
I was considering getting an Apple TV for the bedroom, but if I cannot successfully stream a movied from one mac to another on the WIRED network, what chance will I have with a WIFI connected Apply TV??
Mike

Found the problem.
D'ooh
Had wifi and wired network connection running!
I turned off wifi on the Mac mini and it works fine.
Also tested wifi streaming with a Mac book and it works fine.

How do I transfer all music and videos from one computer to another?

I need to transfer my music and videos that are in itunes from my laptop to my new desktop, and I dont want to lose anything because when I update my ipod it will be takin off, right? Please tell me how I go about doing this, thanks a bunch!!

There are a number of things you could do. One would be to network the to computers and transfer your iTunes folder from one to another. You can also use your iPod as a hard drive and move the folder with it though that would be considerably slower than computer to computer. Here are a few links that may help you out:
New PC & moving iTunes library
iTunes: Copying music between authorised computers with iTunes for Windows
How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
This article describes moving your music to another drive on the same computer but could be adapted to moving between networked computers: Moving your iTunes Music Folder
Also If you are using the iPod in manual update mode, your iPod is safe from being accidentally erased when you connect to iTunes on a different computer. Change the setting before connecting it to your new PC:
Using iPod with Multiple computers

Can i play video from one ipad to another?

No.

Can I move games from one iPhone to Another on different iTunes accounts?

We bought my daughter an iPhone 5C for christmas. Up until now she has been sharing my iTunes account as she was using my old phone.
This has meant that when she or I bought a new app, it automatically showed up on the others phone. (I know that this can be turned off) We decided that we would create a new iTunes account for her when we got the new phone.
I just assumed that this would mean we would need to repurchase all her Apps. She is a bit sad about this as it means rebuilding all her little Sims worlds and losing her high scores etc.
So, is there anyway that the Apps or at least the games content from her old phone can be transferred to the new one even though they are now on different iTunes accounts? We share the same iCloud (so I can track here phone from mine)
I don't think so - but she is adamant that it can be done - so I thought I would check.
Thanks
Craig

It can be done, but you will have to sign in to your account on her itunes to updated the apps. Try these instructions:

HT1296 how do you transfer music from one ipod to another with different itunes accounts?

How do we do it with two different itunes. We wish to use the new account. Thanks for any help

Copy the music for the old iPod to his computer by:

Then sync the new iPod to that computer.
