TCP/IP Library and Windows 7

Hi together,
I have the following problem: I am trying to build up TCP/IP connections as client. On my notebook (WindowsXP) everything works like a charm. But when I install the application on a Windows 7 PC, no connection is possible.
ConnectToTCPServer fails with "WSAE_UNKNOWN".
Probably this has to do with the socket handling from Win 7. Currently I still have the Measurement Studio Ver. 6.0 on my notebook, because my applications always worked fine on WinXP PCs.
So my question is: Is this a known behavior? If so, is there a workaround or is the only solution a newer CVI Version?
Thanks for any help,
Dirk

Hello Robert,
thanks for your answer.
To give a some more details:
I can´t say if it is happening with trying to use any TCP from CVI. Because if the application is running on an WinXP PC (my notebook, even installed from the distribution kit) everything is fine. On a Windows 7 PC my application already fails on the ConnectToTCPServer call with the above mentioned error. With PuTTY I can establish TCP connections, a python script (though I am not sure if my python supports Win 7) shows the same problem.
Some more details about the task: I have to establish two TCP connections as client, one to my data acquisition hardware, second one to a TCP Server provided by automationX (some soft-sps solution). If I run my application on my notebook with WinXP everything works fine (even the automationX stuff I connect to is running on a Windows 7 PC). Now I install the application on a Windows 7 PC and both ConnectToTCPServer calls fail with the above mentioned error. So I have no chance to test other TCP calls from the library.
Actually this behavior makes me think that is a problem with the Winsock of Windows 7. Why otherwise it would run on my XP notebook and would fail on the ConnectToTCPServer on the Windows 7 PC?
Unfortunately, being in Asia atm, I only have the CVI 6 version with me. I will travel back to Germany next week. I have the upgrades up to CVI 9 there, but I never installed them. (Never change a running system ) On the other hand, probably it is time to do so. Never had to work with Win 7 before.
I just wanted to know if anyone else experienced some similar problems and if there is a workaround (maybe even in Win 7 to make the socket behavior / handling like it was on WinXP).
But I guess I have to finally install the upgrades.
Is CVI 9 compatible / tested with Windows 7?
Best regards,
Dirk

Itunes Library and Windows 7

Hey guys,
Have a simple query that is not as such causing a problem. I was using a Windows XP machine and if I downloaded or imported a track a new folder would appear in my iTunes folder called the album name etc with tracks included, I would then have two copies of that album one in iTUnes one in the downloaded folder.
Now I am using Windows 7 (and I don't think this is the issue) but when I import a folder now into my iTunes library the XML code is updated but no new folders are added. Instead they remain in the place i downloaded them too and iTunes points to that folder. Is there a way to tell iTunes to create a folder with its own iTunes directory and then point to THAT folder rather than the downloading folder?? If this is not possible can I just copy and paste the album folder containing the songs into my iTUnes folder and then when iTunes asks me to look for the folder to find the song point it to its own folder? Christ this is getting complicated now! Sorry! Hope this will make sense to other users! Thanks in advance. The main reason I ask is because I would like all of my album folders in the iTunes folder so when I backup everything is included. Thanks guys.

Sorting in iTunes is often controlled by selecting different column headings. The sort order for any given column may be further modified by a sort value, e.g. Sort Artist affects the sort order of Artist. If you transferred the library properly all of the metadata should have remained intract and you simply need to select the a column that sorts as you want. If you had to import the library then there is the potential for tagging effects that could mean metadata entered previously didn't import with the media. Note that iTunes has no mechanism for automatically deciding which values are in <Forename> <Surname> order and could therefore be sorted as <Surname> <Forename>. The only automatic process drops leading articles (a/an/the) so that "The Doors" sort under D as "Doors".

DIAdem Connectivity Library and Windows Regional Settings

Hi,
I'm having a bit of a problem with a CVI program that uses the DIAdem connectivity library when deployed to PCs that have their "Language for non-Unicode programs" set to some non-English language (Japanese is one, but I suspect this will happen with others). The problem comes up with file properties in TDM files that use the µ or 'mu' symbol in their Property name. When I call the DDC_GetFilePropertyNames(...) function, I get different strings from the same .tdm file depending on whether I have Windows set to English (US) or Japanese. As far as functions like DDC_GetFileProperty(...) are concerned the Property name string I get when my Windows is set to English is correct and I get an error using the string from when Windows is set to Japanese (-6213 DDC_PropertyDoesNotExist). The end result is that my program functions just fine so long as the PC is set to English, and fails on PCs where it is set to Japanese.
I've attached a small sample console program. It will ask whether or not you want to create a .tdm file when run. If yes, the program will create a test.tdm file with a property named "Test_With_µ_Symbol". In either case, it will attempt to read the file, calling DDC_GetFilePropertyNames(..) to read the property names, then DDC_GetFilePropertyType(...) and DDC_GetFileProperty(..) using the property name it gets back. In order to see the problem I'm having, compile and run the program on a PC set to English. It will have no problems reading the file property back. Then take the file program to PC set to Japanese and run it, telling it to not create a new file (i.e. just read the existing file), and when the program attempts to read back the file property back it will fail. Curiously enough if the program is compiled on the Japanese system it will have no problems running, which suggests that CVI will compile a different program depending on your Windows language setting (!?).
As configuring a computer to use Japanese may be a bit of a pain, here are the bytes in the strings I get back from DDC_GetFilePropertyNames (...) on the English system (top) and the Japanese system (bottom) which is really the heart of the problem I'm having. The difference is the -75 on the top string and the -125 and -54 on the bottom string, corresponding to the 'mu' character:
84 101 115 116 95 87 105 116 104 95 -75 95 83 121 109 98 111 108
84 101 115 116 95 87 105 116 104 95 -125 -54 95 83 121 109 98 111 108
(I didn't post the actual strings as the forum may end up mangling the characters)
Thoughts? I guessing I might be doing something I shouldn't by trying to use the 'mu' character in property strings, but on the other hand I don't think that DDC_GetFilePropertyNames (...) should be giving different results based upon Windows language. Thanks in advance for any help. I'm running Windows XP and CVI 2010SP1.

Hi tstanely,
Another possible solution is to try and perform the solution that was mentioned in the Unicode forum in LabVIEW. At the end of the forum, Mark Moss mentions "One of our interns recently went through this adapting a program to display Chinese in the user interface. His solution ended up being surprisingly simple: Just read the strings from a text file stored using the target encoding. In our case, there were really only two encodings of interest: Windows code-page 1252 (used on our company's computers located in North America) and UTF-8 (used on our company's computers in China)."
Because it seems that the CVI is encoding strings in the application based on the code page used at the time, it might be possible to have multiple text files saved in the different code pages and to load the strings at run-time. You may still have to use the Multibyte Character Set functionality to determine the platform that is being used, etc.

Curious NetBios over TCP/IP issues and Windows SMB shares

Hi all.
I've got two Win 2003 R2 SP2 member servers on our AD domain. Each has shared network folders on them which are accessed by both Windows and Mac users.
Both servers - lets call them ALPHA and BETA - are identically setup: same hardware, configuration etc. but exist on different subnets.
Alpha has never had a problem with Mac clients connecting to any of its shares.
Beta has, up until recently, only ever had Windows clients, but now has a couple of Snow Leopard Mac clients. When a Mac client attempts to connect via SMB or CIFS to any share on Beta - they get the prompt to authenticate and then "Connection Failed. There was an error connecting to the server Beta. Check the server name or IP address and then try again". Of course the same thing happens when I try to connect by IP.
Curiously, the only way I can get Mac clients to connect to shares on Beta is to go into the network adapter settings on Beta, advanced, WINS and then disable NetBios over TCP/IP. Unfortunatley this breaks some unrelated stuff and I eventually have to go back in and set NetBios back to Default (enabled) and the whole thing screws up again in a few hours time again for my beloved Mac users.
The other server Alpha never gives me any problem with Mac clients, and as I say, they are setup identically. I have been testing this with 10.6.3 clients, not sure if my 10.5 or 10.4 clients are affected.
Can anyone offer some suggestions as to why my shares aren't accessible to my Mac clients on both servers?

Generally it is the browser service that populates network neighborhood. This technology is no longer used with newer OS like server 2008, windows 7/8.

Windows TCP/IP stack and packet bursts

Hi all!
I'm trying to make a server that sends ~30 packets (tcp/ip) loaded with a little data (a long). (Streaming with dataOutputStream.writeLong())
I would really like to get those 30 Hz signals updating on the clients in a smooth fashion.
On linux/mac (on those I have tested), I receive the packets one by one. But, in Windows, I receive them as bursts 5/pause/5/pause... and so on. This is really annoying. Anyone knows what the problem might be? I suspect some tcp/ip stack in windows...
I have heard ppl streaming with 100Hz, so this might not be a problem? Or should I use UDP datagram packets instead?
Thank you!

First, there is no 'problem', as none of the RFCs guarantees the kind of behaviour that you want, so you may be better off reviewing your requirement for feasibility rather than chasing some non-existent 'problem'.
Having said that, there are all kinds of TCP/IP parameters you can tune via the Windows registry:

Transferred itunes library from Windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. plugged in 3rd gen Ipod. Ipod icon appears along with playlists, music etc. Songs are grayed out and won't play. Please help!

I recently transferred itunes library from windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. The transfer was successful, however when I plug my 3rd gen Ipod Nano into the new PC, the Ipod icon appears along with the music, playlists, etc. The songs are shown but are 'grayed out' and wont play or sync.The 'Devices & Printers' window in new PC shows icon for Ipod driver & is OK. The icon for the Ipod appears but depicts a delta shaped warning icon that states that the Ipod is'not operating properly'. Tried troubleshooting. The troubleshooting message states the the Ipod is 'disconnecting'. Can you help me with this problem?

Then, I dropped the entire itunes file from the old PC (XP) into an empty external drive.
That "itunes file from the old PC"? Is that the iTunes folder, from the old PC, that was in the user home folder's Music folder?
All of the library, playlists, etc. from the ipod as they always have been are shown, by they are 'grayed out' and will not open or play.
That's on the iPod, correct? Are all of your old playlists in iTunes, from the old PC, still there in iTunes on the new PC? Are the songs in iTunes still playable?
This document provides the steps to transfer a complete iTunes library between two computers. See the section called External drive.
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer - Apple Support
There are many steps, but this is a summary. (1) On the old PC, consolidate all of your iTunes data into the iTunes folder. (2) Copy this iTunes folder to the external drive. (3) On the new PC (that has iTunes installed but NOT running), replace its existing iTunes folder with the one from the old PC (on the external drive). When you run iTunes, it uses the iTunes folder from the old PC, and it should look like iTunes on the old PC (with all the playlists, ratings, play count, etc.), and your iPod will see the iTunes library as the same iTunes library (because it is the same library).
If you did something different, and the old PC is still accessible, you may want to try it using the method from the linked document.

Home Sharing will not work with my Windows 8 64bit with new itunes. All of my Apple TVs will not see my library and my iphones will not function with the "Remote" App. They all did before. Only thing that has changed is new PC/itunes. Any Ideas?

Installed a new Windows PC on my home network. PC is Windows 8/64bit. with latest version of itunes 11.1.4.62 for 64bit. My itunes works, but I can not get Home Sharing to function now. None of my Apple TV's can see my computer library and prompt me to turn it on. All of my iphones, pods, pad, can not use the "Remote" app. When you prompt your phone in Remote App to "add library" and you get the code....iTunes doesnt give you the remote screen where you can enter the code. I have reloaded iTunes, reset my router, updated all devices. You can turn on "Home Sharing" on iTunes, but then it closes and doesnt seem to link my devices like it use to. Also, when the new version of iTunes is up on my PC, you can see the other devices to AirPlay to like you could before. However, I can send items from my iphone to stream to an Apple TV, I just cant link them all like I could before and control the music playing to multiple Apple TV. Growing fustrated. Any ideas, would be helpful.

Cunning1_
You are a legend!! I have spent countless hours uninstalling, reinstalling itunes, playing with firewall settings, reading articles on this problem!! I only have to un-sync my iphone 5 and then the airplay icon magically appeared!!! Maybe I have too many devices syncing via wi-fi, or maybe it is the Iphone syncing??
Whatever - one step and now I can enjoy my music through my house again!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

Mac and Windows on same iTunes Library? NAS?

I moved my mac iTunes library to a NAS, hoping that all machines in the house (Mac and Windows) could access and update the library (but not at the same time because of file locking). So I moved the .itl and .xml files over to the NAS as well but some machines can only see parts of the library.
Is this not a supported configuration? How could I set up such a sharing library with update capability? Thanks in advance.

You don't need any software installed on the windows PC. Just plug it into the Ethernet port on the router to the Ethernet port on the NIC card. If you want the Fios software installed go to activatemyfios.verizon.net and click configure another computer and enter your fios user name and password. If you are having connection problems go to verizon.com/connectionwizard and install that software.

How To Use The Same Library - MacBook Pro's And Windows XP Pro?

Background: I have a fully configured MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.3. Also, I run Windows XP Pro SP3 using Parallels Desktop. My primary iTunes Library and all content is stored on an external hard disk and the iTunes is "pointed" to that location by setting the iTunes' Preferences' Advanced Settings to the full path where the Library is located. Everything I have inside iTunes works perfect - the size if the Library is over 225GB!
BUT, when I install and use iTunes on my Windows XP Pro operating system (under Parallels), the contents of the Library SEEMS to work okay (while I'm in Windows) but the Windows' iTunes Library location in Preferences' Advance Tab is NOT THE SAME LOCATION AS IS THE MAC's LIBRARY LOCATION! It is not at the same location as my main/primary iTunes Library is "pointed to".
The problem occurs when I close Windows and return to the Mac OS X and then try to use my primary iTunes. All of the contents (and any content) within iTunes no longer work! When I attempt to play ANY song, movie, TV show, music video, audiobook, etc., a message pops up saying in effect "Location of 'x' can't be found, do you want to locate it?" I can then click 'yes' and navigate to the Library file that contains the song's file and it will then play fine, as it should. BUT, ONLY THAT SINGLE SONG WILL WORK - THE REMAINING 225GB STILL DON'T WORK!!!
So, I am forced to go into iTunes' Preferences' Advanced tab and click on "Change Location" then navigate to the proper library file (NOTE, THE LOCATION HAD BEEN CHANGED TO THE LOCATION FOR THE WINDOWS' LIBRARY LOCATION!!!)! Doing this corrects the primary iTunes functionality, but only after being forced to deleting the "iTunes Media Folder", quit iTunes, restart iTunes and Consolidate the Library - a whole bunch of steps and time to get back to "normal"!!!!!
Again, this all happens by going into Windows, opening its iTunes, then THAT triggers the entire scenario I've described above - EVERY TIME!
Thus, I avoid iTunes when I go into Windows, but I should NOT have to avoid using iTunes inside Windows! I hope I have described the problem/issues well enough that someone of you experts can provide a practical solution for me.
A potential remedy I've thought of is: Go into Windows' iTunes then go into its Preferences' Advance tab and change ITS location to be the exact same location as the primary Mac OS X's, click OK, then immediately close that iTunes.
          DOES THIS SOUND LIKE IT WILL WORK - I.e., USING THE EXACT SAME LIBRARY LOCATION FOR BOTH iTUNES?????
          IF THIS WOULD WORK, WHAT ELSE MUST I DO TO EITHER iTUNES OR TO BOTH iTUNES TO USE BOTH iTUNES
          USING THE SAME LIBRARY???
Thank you for any suggested solutions - VERY MUCH!

Note that sharing a folder between different OS that use different file paths is not recommended as some files can have an absolute path or other OS specific data.
You can click the Choose Folder button if you want to create or use a folder in a different location.<br />
Make sure to select an empty folder (you need to create this folder in advance) and not a folder that already has files as Firefox will use the specified location in this case.

I am a long time iTunes user but a new MacBook owner! I keep the majority of my music files on an external hard drive. I'm trying to view all those files on my MacBook through iTunes. With windows you would go to : File/Add To Library, and iTunes would add all your selected files to your music library BUT WOULD NOT COPY THEM TO YOUR HARD DRIVE. In other words, if the external hard drive was connected, you could listen, drag/drop, and edit the files. When I tried the same thing with my new MacBook... it actually started coping the files to my MacBook harddrive. I don't want that, it's millions and millions of mp3's that I don't want to keep on my computer, only my external hard drive. Can anyone help? I'm sure it's something easy, I'm just so new to the Mac world. Being an iPhone owner for many many years I'm picking up things fast, but this is getting the best of me! Help !

How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"?
My library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes on a Mac. I can connect from wife's Windows laptop using iTunes for Windows but every time I do, it Updates iTunes Library. Next time I log in from my Mac it Updates iTunes Library in return. It appears I'm experiencing "Update Wars" between the Mac and Windows versions of iTunes. I would like to allow my wife to stream iTunes songs to her new laptop but I don't want any updates from this source... prefer to manage the library from my Mac and not allow Windows to do any thing other than listen to existing playlists.
Thanks for any help/suggestions.

Connect the PC to the library on the NAS. Wait while "updated".
Under Edit > Preferences > Advanced make sure the media folder is correctly pointed at the media folder on the NAS. If not correct, close iTunes, wait a few moments, then open iTunes again.
Close iTunes on the PC. Do not open iTunes on the Mac.
Copy the library files, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, sentinel and the folder Album Artwork into an empty iTunes folder on the PC, for example C:\iTunes.
Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down SHIFT. Keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the copied .itl file, e.g. C:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
The library should now work properly on the PC, however check the setting for the media folder. If needs be correct, close iTunes and reopen.
Open iTunes on the Mac. It will update again, but that should be last time.

Migrate an iTunes library from one computer to another
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entireiTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one, with ratings, play counts, playlists etc. preserved. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd normally recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library and unlike copying with Windows Explorer the process can be resumed if it is interrupted and it will continue to the next item if there are any read/access errors.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See Make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

ITunes library and Boot Camp (Snow Leopard and Windows 7)

At the moment, I'm using a Macbook Pro running both OS X and Windows 7 Ultimate using Bootcamp to facilitate this.
The problem that I have is that I keep my iTunes library on an external HDD. In OS X, this isn't a problem as the OS X version of iTunes manages the music on it; adding new podcasts that it downloads and also adding new CDs that I rip to the HDD.
In Windows 7, I installed iTunes and have only run a single "Add folder to library", meaning that only the music that was on the HDD on the first instance is recognised by iTunes. This means that if I were to switch from Windows 7 to OS X, download some podcasts and then go back into Windows 7, iTunes in Windows 7 won't find these new podcasts.
The other (and nowhere near important issue) is that if I forget to disconnect my iPhone before switching over to Windows 7, iTunes in Windows 7 will wipe the apps from it.
Does anyone know how I may be able to resolve this

Your iMac supports OS X Mavericks, so make a backup of your files in Mac OS X and Windows, open the Mac App Store and download OS X Mavericks for free. Check that your apps are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com
OS X Mavericks includes Boot Camp Assistant 5, but it's compatible with Macs that can only use Boot Camp 4. Note that you only have the Boot Camp Assistant as the version 5, and not the drivers or anything else, so there's no problem in installing a 32-bit Windows 7 version if you want. Also, you won't lose your Windows copy after upgrading to OS X Mavericks, so don't worry

How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows? I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

The same way it was done in every previous version.
Connect the device to the computer.
Right click on the device in iTunes and select Transfer Purchases.
Why would you lose any content by syncing with iTunes?
Is this not the computer that the device is normally synced with?
