Using iTunes in Parallels Environment with Mac Library

Is it possible, while running Windows XP in a Parallels environment on my Mac, to have the Windows version of iTunes access my music library located on my Mac hard drive in the normal position (~/Music/iTunes)? I've tried connecting the Windows version of iTunes to the Mac library but iTunes can not see or access the library in the Mac environment.
Is this even possible?
Thanks for any assistance with this question.

Well you're not alone in getting surprised by that Mac requirement. Apple has never much flinched about backward compatability. Their new OS's often leave the past completely behind, unlike Windows which tries to keep old things running through the updates (which isn't always a good thing, mind you). Apple's MO makes for a cleaner, more stable transition but it does force you to make decisions. Get the latest and abandon old programs, or soldier on with the old ways and forget about using anything new. I think you'll be glad you chose to upgrade. I just wish Apple (as well as Microsoft) would make these ultimately necessary upgrades cheaper!

I have lightroom 5.7. Now I have apple TV to connect my Mac to the TV scree. I wish to do a slide show on the TV. However, on the Mac, using ITunes to share photos with the TV, I cannot locate all photo files. What is the best way to save the slide show and put it where the Mac sharing can find it? So far, I made on one folder in Lightroom, put some photos there and I found them easily. Can this be done with a slide show? Please help quickly! Also worried that the photos I put on the new folder are hard to find afterwards, when the show is done. Where do they go when I delete from from the new folder?I am not alone

Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

Use of MapTool on environment with no internal network

Is it possible to use MapTool on an environment with no internal network? All nodes are directly linked to the internet

If you have access to a FireWire equipped Mac that is capable of running 10.2, then you can do it. The iBook G4 can't run 10.2, though.
If you do manage to get access to one, here's how to do it:
1. Start the PowerBook G3 in Target Disk Mode (hold down 't' on boot.)
2. Connect the PowerBook G3 via FireWire to the 'host' computer. (I'll call it an iBook, just for ease of talking.)
3. Start the host iBook up off the 10.2 CD.
4. Install to the 'external FireWire drive' that is really the PowerBook G3.
5. Reboot the PowerBook G3, it will be running 10.2
I used a similar method to get Tiger onto a Lombard (USB, no FireWire) G3. I installed to a hard drive that was in a combo FireWire/USB hard drive, then 'Carbon Copy'ed that drive via USB onto the Lombard's internal drive.
But, since your iBook requires 10.3 or newer, I don't think you can use that method with your setup. The only way you could do it is with an external FireWire CD drive. (Which IS bootable on that model.)
Unfortunately, I know of no way of convincing the computer that an external hard drive is really a CD drive, and no way of convincing your iBook to install 10.2 onto any drive. (I just tried rebooting my 10.3+ eMac with a 10.2 install CD, no go.) Of course, if you had a legal 10.3 or 10.4 install CD/DVD, you could install one of those onto the PowerBook using the method above, since the iBook is happy to install them.

Using a network-stored catalog with Mac OSX

Greetings all.
I am using Photoshop Elements 11 on Mac OSX Mountain Lion and want to store my catalog on a local network drive (FreeNAS). I have encountered many problems while attempting to do this. Then I noticed in the Elements Organizer help, under the section "Repair a catalog", the following: "Note: (Mac OS) You cannot access catalogs present on a network drive."
Is this true. or has someone found a workaround to the problem?
Thanks!
--John

Thanks, for that ( I assume we have to carry on in English due to forum policy even though we are both of German tongue I assume)
You mean the access problems are part of the "no network drive" thing? I suspected that. Took me a whole day in front of my computer to realign the mess. So should one better not use the network drives at all? Quite a pity in times where everybody seems to use network storage.
No, I did not use organizer to use the photos. So there is no way to reconnect them? Should I delete the catalogue and start with the photos from scratch?

Well, yes, these are part of the "no network drive" thing.
As for moving the photos, did you use organizer to move them? You will always have trouble if you move photos outside of organizer, even on the same drive--you have to let it manage your photos or it doesn't have a clue as to what happened.

I have been using Aperture 3.3.2 with Mac OS-X 10.7.5. This version doesn't support RAW with Nikon D7100, I decided to upgrade to 3.4. On downloading, it tells me that to upgrade, I need Aperture Vers.3! which I have. What to do??

Have you moved or renamed your Aperture 3 version? If it is not installed in the "Applications" folder or not named simply "Aperture", then Software Update will not recognize it.
Put Aperture back and "Software Update" should find your version.

Can I still use Appleworks 6.2.9 with Mac Mini 2012?

Can I still use Appleworks 6.2.9 with Mac Mini 2012?

Yes, MlchaelLAX, the KVM switch allow one to use one monitor, one keyboard, and one mouse between two computers. It has been so long that I'm not sure how to find the MODELS to the G4 and G5. Unless you mean what makes the Mac tick. The G5 is a dual 2GHz PowerPC, with 2 GB DDR SDRAM. The G4 is a bit slower, will look tomorrow.
I want/need a newer Mac model because unlike the days before OS X, all software was included as the newer OS were added, not so today. I'm still using Tiger because I still use a couple programs from the old days. When I eventually purchase a new model, I will have to buy all new software. That's find if one has plenty of money and wants to learn everything from scratch, but I'm hanging on as long as I can.
I tried TenFourFox, but it didn't allow video, of course since I tried Michael's suggestion, the video might not be an issue. So far, every thing works the way it should.
I have a lot of faith in Mac users, their loyalties to Apple is what kept Apple floating when many thought it would sink. These folks are survivors; I only wish the apple people on the top appreciated that loyalty today, but I guess things are too good.
Thanks to all for you kindness. Tomorrow I will show my husband how to remove his yellow threat on his G4. If anyone can answer any other questions, please know I will keep viewing this post.

Hello, i am using itunes 11.1.5 with a MAC and facing the following issue. When i play a playlist and decide to deselect the next tune in the list, itunes does not work as expected and play the tune !

for instance if i am playing tune #20 and i deselect #21, #21 will still be played. I need to deselect #21 before ITunes has started to play #20. this is a strange behaviour. I am using ITUNES as a DJ again after 2 years off and i don't remember it did behave like this before. Is there a bug with 11.1.5 ?

Can I use my Ipod 5th Genereration with Mac and XP at the same time?

I have a 5th generation. My home system is a Mac my work is an XP. I have all of my music on my home MAc. I want to bring those over and use in the XP environment. Does anyone know if that can be done? When I connected my ipod into the USB on my XP it asked for me to download the software. If I do that will it mess up my Mac interface?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

First, please understand that an iPod formatted on a PC (FAT32), will be able to be read by a PC and Mac. But not the other way round. You have 2 options to do it:-
1. Do a Restore of your iPod on your PC (you need to install the iTunes and iPod updates on your PC), (it will erase all data on your iPod). Once it has been completed, connect it with your Mac and do an update between the iTunes on your Mac with the iPod. After that please install the 3rd party software e.g. YamiPod on you PC, and use this software
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=464031&tstart=0
Copy all the music on your iPod to your iTunes on your PC
2. Download and install a 3rd party software xplay2
(which is not free)on your PC, then it will manage to read your Mac's iPod

Using itunes from external harddrive with orig playlist.

Hi all i am new so dont kill me i want to take my music off my macbook pro and access it from my external hard drive. is there a way that i can transfer the the files with playlist and re open itunes using my external drive and have all the playlist there. also when i save music how do i set it up to save to the external hd? this way i can take it to my office if i need to use it or my other systems. Please point me in the right direction.

To move your iTunes music and info to an external drive...
Quit iTunes.
Move the entire iTunes folder including music to the external drive.
Click on the iTunes icon to start it, then immediately press and hold the Shift key in Windows, Option key in Mac.
iTunes will ask to Create new library or Choose existing library. Select Choose existing library and select the library in the folder you just moved.
Move the old iTunes folder to the trash but do not empty it.
Restart iTunes normally and verify the songs work. If they do, empty the trash.

Using Firefox 3.6.20 with Mac OS 10.4.11. It takes Firefox about 60 seconds to open window. Can you help?

I am using Firefox 3.6.20 on Mac with OS 10.4.11. It takes about 60 seconds for browser window to open. I did not have this problem with previous version of Firefox. Help!!!

This is so frustrating. I said in my original message that I do NOT want to supposedly "update" my OS to 10.5 or more. I have seen those versions and DON'T like them. They louse up iMovie & are more cumbersome. I am not interested in layers of networking, games, and being tangled up with an insecure "cloud." The iTunes set up is already obnoxious enough, when you try to manage, organize & back up your music.
I do not like how the computer/phone/etc. high tech world take away our choices, forcing us to up grade to stuff we don't want, frequently at a higher cost.
I am not the only one who wants to stick with the better Mac OS system. If this answer is actually from Firefox, then I am disappointed in FireFox. I really appreciated the security of using Firefox to connect to the internet.

Itunes says ipad sync with other library but i downladed everything directly from the ipad.

hello, I downloaded all apps directly throught the ipad as I wasn't sure how itunes worked (i tried but couldn't). Now I'm trying to sync it and it say it is allready sync with another library and that I will loose all apps. I have all passwords but don't really now where to use them. And I dont really wat to pay all the apps again. What can I do?
Thanks

Is your computer authorized with your iTunes account with iTunes?
If so, with your iPad connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPad.
Now you should be able to select Sync Apps under the Apps tab making sure all apps below are selected before syncing.
You can re-download purchased apps without having to purchase the apps again.

IPhoto Slideshow using iTunes purchased music publish to .Mac

I created a slideshow which used a song which I purchased through the music store. I exported this and uploaded it to .mac. If I view this web page on a another computer beside my mac it wants it to be authorized.
I thought when I purchase music I could use it in iPhoto and iMovie. Why is it forcing me to authorize all computers.
How am I suppose to share this slideshow/movie with my friends and family. I am all for DRM when it comes to protecting music but now I can not use the song except on my mac or computers I authorize (Which is limited to 5). I think this is a bit unfair.

Hi Squig,
It's a shame isn't it. You need to do a little sneaky work around by first burning the tune to cd (while you are at it, burn a bunch of others that you might want to use in a slideshow. Import the burned cd back into iTunes. Click on date added column so you can see the DRM-less tunes you just imported. Rename those tunes so you know those are the ones without the DRM and then use those tunes in your slideshows.
by the way, you can use them in iMovie if you are then sending those iMovies to burn within iDVD. You will run into the problem if you export the iMovie to quicktime.

ITunes can't sync with iPhoto Library on NAS-Drive

As I have a lot of pictures and want to have them in a save place (RAID) i transfered the iPhoto Library to my NAS-Drive and told iPhoto to use the new location.
iPhoto works great with this setting - but when I try to sync my iPod Touch or iPhone with the Photo-Lib all I get is an empty Library. I don't want to sync with a disk-folder, but the iPhoto-Library to use the "Sync folder"-Option!
When i set the "Sync Pictures with..."-Feature at the Photos-Tab to "iPhoto" it shows an empty library ("no photos"). When I create a new (second) iPhoto-Lib at the default location (inside user folder) it works fine.
Why doesn't use iTunes the CURRENT LOCATION of the Photo-Library instead of using some STUPID DEFAULT PATH?! Who writes Software like this?! And the most important question: HOW CAN I PATCH THAT?!
An Alias of the iPhoto Library in the default-location doesn't work - so what's next?!
Any suggestions welcome!
Greetings from Germany
Thomas
PS: Spelling of locations, menues and so on are roughly translated from my german os version...

It is not of any help but have exactly the same issue. Called one of our local radio Tech Shows (The Tech Guy, with Leo Leporte) and for what it is worth his only answer was that it was a bug. He noted that apparently i-Tunes was not looking at i-Photo for the library location but rather, as you have noted, only looks in the default location.
Be interested if you get this solved or come up with another work around that does not require my library to be in the default directory.
As you noted i-Photo is happy it is just the sync with i-Tunes, it just doesn't work,
