Can I use iTunes Match while I'm away from Home, and my family still use Home Sharing via Apple TV?

I would like to be able to use my iTunes Match account as I am frequently away from home.
However, my family would also like to be able to use Home Sharing to listen to music, watch movies stored on the family iMac, using the Apple TV.
At the moment, iTunes Match & Apple Store uses a different Apple ID to Home Sharing. I don't want the kids to be able to download movies etc on the Apple TV.
Is there a way that I can achieve both at the same time?

Yes, iTunes Match alleviates this situation. As long as iTunes on both of your computers is using the same Apple ID, you can add songs to either one, and once they have uploaded to iCloud, they will be available on any of your iDevices AND in iTunes on the other computer.

I am only able to receive e-mails at home and cannot receive them away from home

I am only able to receive e-mails at home and cannot receive them away from home. Not being a technical person some "simple" suggestions would be appreciated.

How many other places/networks have you tried? Maybe those places you tried are blocking the port/site.
Have you tried contacting your email providers support site?

How can i access my PowerMac when i am away from home?

Hi, I have a powermac G5 at home and have just bought a mac book pro. is there any way to set them up so i can access the powermac when i am out traveling with my mac book? I guess i would need to leave the powermac on all the time, but how do i get the two connected? i have far to many files to use iDisc and i have a lot of extra drives attached to the powermac at home.
Any chance the answers could be simple!!! I'm relatively new to macs and know almost nothing about accessing computes over the internet.
thanks for your help.

Hi Martin,
I am just implementing something which may be of interest to you.
I have a home network of a G5 Quad and several PCs which I wanted to be able to access, securely while I was away from home. (Using a XP laptop).
I have just purchased a LinkSys RVL200 VPN router and ASDL modem and after a fair amount of trial and error managed to get it working to my ISP, British Telecom.
Effectively I can now connect my laptop from anywhere on the internet and it is as if I am sat on home with it connected to my local network. Most importantly it runs via an https: tunnel (may not be the correct phrase) so it is secure.
To connect all I have to do is go to my IP address via the browser using https://, logon on and it creates a connection through which I can access my Mac and PCs. Once the connection is in place then I can run any application on my laptop and it connects fine. (Last night I tested it running ftp to my G5 which is hidden behind the firewall.)
The only thing I am not sure about is how it would connect using a Mac rather than an XP machine (the secure connect icon appears in the tray) but if it fits what you are looking for I'm sure LinkSys could advise on whether it would work.

How can I get my iPhone 4 repaired while away from home?

I will be working in Manila in the Philippines for the next few months.
My iPhone 4 has developed a hardware fault and needs to be repaired. It is out of warranty, but I am willing to pay for the cost of the repair myself. The Apple Authorized Service Providers here inform me that the only organizations who carry out repairs are the two official iPhone distributors in the country. Unfortunately, neither of these companies are willing to repair my iPhone because it was not purchased from them.
I am told that I will have to fly back to the country I originally purchased the unit from to have the work carried out there.
People travel and work all around the world these days. Do Apple really expect their customers to fly to a different country just to get their phone
repaired? How is someone travelling on a business trip supposed to manage without his phone if it develops a fault while he is away from
home?
Does anyone know a way I can get my iPhone fixed while I am here?
Chris

As I explained, I'm not asking for Apple to provide warranty support. I'm quite willing to pay for the cost myself. The problem is that none of the authorized Apple service centers are willing to accept the unit for repair because it wasn't purchased from them.
Its quite shameful that Apple permits its official support organizations to behave in this way. Someone working away from home should be able to get their phone repaired if it develops a fault. These things are not toys for many of us. A lot of people depend on them to carry out their business.

Can Mail be set up to work while away from home?

When I tried using mail with my powerbook G4, using a free wireless system at the library, I received a message that it needed authentication. Is it possible to use Mail away from home or do I have to use Webmail? I use Comcast broadband at home.

You were exactly right! All it took is going to Mail preferences, clicking on server settings, checking authentication, and adding my user id and password. I tried using the library's WiFi and mail came through.
Thanks

How to use Mail to sent messages when away from home

How do I have to configure my "Mail" on my PowerBook G-4 (OS 10.4.5) in order to use it in a WIFI enviroment?
At home when connected via Airport to my own Outgoing Mail Server (smtp 8. sympatico.ca) I have absolutely no problems. However, last year I was on a Cruise Ship and tried to use the existing WiFi System. I could receive messages using Mail, but I could not send messages using Mail.
At the moment I'm visiting my son in the Boston area and I'm having the same problem. I was forced to use the Sympatico Web Mail in order to sent E-mail messages. (receiving mail using "Mail", represents no problem)
There has to be a way to configure Mail to originate messages and sent them as well, but I cannot find anything which tells me how to do that.
The version presently installed for Mail is 2.0.7.
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated!

Hank,
The problem here is your ISP (looks like its Sympatico) blocking connections to their mail server from computers not connected directly to their network. I wouldn't blame your ISP though b/c as I understand it almost ALL ISPs block these type of connections to cut down on SPAM being sent.
What you need to do is to find the outgoing mail server for the network you are on.
For example, if you look on the "Mail" settings on your Son's computer and note his "Outing Mail Server" (in the "Accounts" pain of "Mail" prefs) settings and then go to your machine and put in that same "Outgoing Mail Server" info then you should be fine.
You can do this on your machine by selecting "Add Server..." from the "Outgoing Mail Server" drop down menu. When the window comes up just type in the same settings your Son uses. If he does not have a machine with mail setup on it then you can call his ISP and they'll tell you.
Remember to switch the "outgoing mail server" back to your home server when you return home. By the way, most places (like hotels) will give you their outgoing mail server info if you ask them, so next time you're on a cruise with wifi you might try asking the IT people.
Best of luck,
Allen

I can not get my wi-fi to work away from home. what security do i need to use confused

i don't understand wi-fi

Go to Settings>Wi-Fi. At the bottom, make sure the "Ask to Join Networks" is ON. When you are out and about, any network the iPad sees will be shown and it will ask you if you want to "Join" it. If it is unsecure/free you tell it yes and you should connect. However, if there is a little padlock looking icon shown with the network name, it means that it is a secure network and you need a password to join. If you don't know it, you can't join. At most Starbucks and such, the Wi-Fi is free and you should be able to simply connect. Not really that hard. There are not security settings on your iPad to adjust. You'll figure it out.
Best.

Sending pop and other mail away from home...

WHen i am away from my home it seems like i can only send email through MAIL with my .mac account. it never goes through with my optonline accounts or my gmail or AOL which are all connected through mail. i can get incoming mail anywhere but can only send .mac mail from anywhere.
is there a reason for that.?

Yes -- when you are away from home, and connected, you are subject to the restrictions and policies of the ISP of that venue, and they are, as is common, blocking the use of other SMTP. Usually such locations permit you to use an Authenticated SMTP, however, which smtp.mac.com is one. With the Authenticated SMTP, the local ISP will relay because this Authentication tells them you are a known and approved sender for the provider of the SMTP.
We need to check some things in Mail Preferences for the selection of each account's Outgoing Server, after clicking on Server Settings below the name of the SMTP seen at Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information for each account you have. Please review them, and report the Port number assigned to each.
The smtp.mac.com, for example, can only be used when sending from the .mac address.
Since, as best I remember from other topics, the optonline SMTP is not separately Authenticated, then you will likely never be able to send with it when at other venues. When not separately authenticated (something that may be a required setting) the name of the optonline SMTP will NOT have your username appended. Those SMTP that are authenticated by Password WILL have your Username appended to the full name listed.
More info, please.

Away from home printing problems

I have a new I phone 5s, I can print wirelessly on my hp envy 5530 at home. I cannot print away from home, any suggestions

You would have to be able to connect to the same wi-fi as the printer you are trying to print to. More details of your situation would be most helpful.

Authorise the new computer to the older account. Can you do the transfer now?

On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD on a different computer using Home Sharing? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

Yes, you can copy songs that you ripped from a CD to your Home Sharing computer.
Turn on Home Sharing first on both computers. To do that, go to File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing. Enter your Apple ID and password.
Now go to your computer that you want to copy the songs to and connect to your Home Share. You can do that by clicking on the popover button located at the left top corner right below the play control buttons. Click on it and scroll to the bottom until you see your Home Share and select it.
Go to Music in your Home Share. Select the songs that you want to copy in your Home Share and click Import at the bottom right corner.

HT3819 i originally synced my ipad to itunes on my computer before I found out about home sharing. Since I set up home sharing, can I remove the synced library? It seems to be taking up space

i originally synced my ipad to itunes on my computer before I found out about home sharing. Since I set up home sharing, can I remove the synced library? It seems to be taking up space and I'd like to free it up.

I don't think I have made myself clear... I have recently upgraded my iPhone 4 to a 5 so everything was set up to sync with no problems at all. I transferred everything across to my new device by iCloud and everything appears as it was on my old device including on the face of it my music library. However, I cannot play all of the songs in fact the majority! When at home I can access the entire library via home sharing but that is no use away from the house. I never had this problem with iPhone 4 and although I am automatically syncing the device to iTunes it is not working. If I try to play songs via the device it skips until it finds a song that cAn be played and if I try and play the device via the laptop/iTunes an ! Type signal appears and I cannot play the song!
Any ideas re solutions would be appreciated???
