Using iTunes with NAS server

I recently purchased a 1.2 tb storage server and i want to move my iTunes library off of my laptop. The problem is that the server runs a custom linux OS that is stored in flash memory. I cant run iTunes on the server so i cant share music that way. Is there any way that i can store my music on the server but not have to transfer music files back to my laptop to listen to them?
Powerbook G4 17'' Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2gb RAM 100gb HD

Just move the iTunes library to the server.
iTunes: Moving your iTunes Music folder
Should work fine as long as your laptop can read/write to a Linux volume (I believe it does).

Using iTunes with NAS

I have all my music and itunes files (iTunes Library.itl, etc) on a NAS. I have an iMac and a MacBook. If I point each to the library on the NAS should I be able to use them both with the same library without corrupting any files? Eventually I want to use my MacBook exclusively for iTunes but I'm unable to do that for a while. Thanks in advance for any advice/suggetions.

This topic was recently discussed on this forum. I am of the opinion it won't have any ill effect on the files, but no direct experience. Another responder was concerned about file corruption, but didn't provide reasoning.
The one major problem you likely will have is the library file cannot be opened by two copies of iTunes at the same time. You will have to ensure that when using iTunes on one computer you quit the application before using it on the other. The way to avoid this is for each computer to have its own library file but the media are stored and shared on the NAS. Unless two people are trying to edit the tags on the same media file at the same time there shouldn't be any conflict. The disadvantage is you have ot keep both libraries up to date. As you can see, some of the best response lie in the detail of the setup and users which you haven't told us. If you are the only user of both computers you can make it work with a single library file which will always be up to date when opened on either computer. If it is two users then each will probably want their own library anyway and you should set it up that way. Of course media changes will have to be applied separately to each library.

I purchased songs from 2 different computers using itunes with the same apple id. I had 1 iPod I used for these but I just recently got an iPhone and I was wondering why it wasn't letting me put my purchased songs on my iPhone?

You can transfer iTunes content from an iTunes library on a single computer only.
Since these songs were purchased with the same iTunes account, you can download the song that is not in your iTunes library on the computer you will be syncing your iPhone with. Or you can download the song or songs direct on your iPhone.

I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

Using log4j with portal server

Hi,
I am trying to use log4j with Portal server 6.1 using log taglibs from jakarta.
Here is what i've done:
1. copy taglibs-log.jar in /etc/opt/SUNWps/desktop/classes
2. copy taglibs-log.tld in /etc/opt/SUNWps/desktop/default/tld
3. put log statements in JSPs
for example:
<log:debug>This is body content.</log:debug>
<log:debug message="This is attribute content." />
4. /etc/opt/SUNWps/desktop/classes/log4j.properties contains
=========================================
# Sample properties to initialise log4j
log4j.rootCategory=debug, stdout, R
#log4j.rootCategory=debug, stdout
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
# Pattern to output the caller's file name and line number.
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%5p [%t] (%F:%L) - %m%n
log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender

log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%p %t %c - %m%n
===============================================
However no log file is created on my system. I am very new to this and would appreciate if anyone could tell me what more needs to be done to get log records in a file.
Thanks for all your help.
Kind regards,

These are the system requirements
System Requirements:
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation

Hello,
check out FoneSync for Android. It syncs contacts, calendars, music and photos with your Android device and features an iTunes like interface. So it is easy to use and fast.
Kind regards

Use GetNewObjectKey with DI Server?

HI
I'm converting from DI API to DI Server and want to know if there is a way to use GetNewObjectKey with DI Server?
Thanks

Hi Avish!
You don't need to use GetNewObjectKey when using the DI Server. When you add/update/close/remove an object, you get the new key in the reply of the command.
For example, the following request:
<dis:AddObject xmlns:dis="http://www.sap.com/SBO/DIS">
<BOM>
<BO>
   <AdmInfo>
    <Object>oBusinessPartners</Object>
   </AdmInfo>
   <BusinessPartners>
    <row>
     <CardCode>NewBP</CardCode>
    </row>
   </BusinessPartners>
</BO>
</BOM>
</dis:AddObject>
Will return the following response:
<dis:AddObjectReponse xmlns:dis="http://www.sap.com/SBO/DIS">
<RetKey>NewBP</RetKey>
</dis:AddObjectReponse>

How can I use iTunes with my Moto Q?

Can I get QuickTime for my phone? I've downloaded a video for my son, but can't play it in Windows media player. What options do I have to use iTunes with my phone?

Video purchased through the iTunes store can be played on your computer, an iPod, through AppleTV. It can't however be transferred to a Motorola Q. Sorry.

Using ITunes with Ipod Mini

My wife and I both have Ipod Mini's using separate Music Libraries(like it that way) . The problem is if she's logged in and iTunes is open when I switch users and log in and try to use iTunes I get a message. It saids something along the lines of iTunes is being used by another user and unable to open. When I click ok iTunes goes away. I have to have my wife logoff to use itunes with my profile. I would think under XP you can run iTunes separately.
Thanks for the help.

Fast user switching
You cannot use this with XP and iTunes. Disable it under start/control panel/user accounts/change the way users log on.
