Using the Sharing feature in Itunes

Currently, my Mac iBook G4 and Windows XP Home edition can share through Itunes fine and see each other. My Vista machine however can't, yet they can all access each other's network files through normal Windows sharing and Mac sharing (not 3rd party applications). I attempted to hook up my Ibook directly to my Vista PC's network, but then it could no longer see the XP machine. Here is an image as an example:
The bottom greyed out laptop image is what I attempted to hook up the laptop, but it couldn't network with any PCs. All PCs have a subnet of 255.255.255.0.

This is not exactly the same but may help

  • HT204053 do I need to use the sync feature in iTunes anymore for my iphone now that I have cloud

    Just getting familiar with iCloud. Do I need to continue to sync my iPhone through iTunes to get my Outlook or will iCloud replace that function? Also, does all of the syncing between my calendar in Outlook and my contacts in Outlook?
    Thanks,
    Jerry

    If you choose to use iCloud for Contacts and Calendars you should not sync those services via iTunes as well, that way leads to duplicates.

  • Can you use the shuffle feature within a created playlist from itunes?

    Basically I would like to listen to a playlist on my ipod using the shuffle feature. I don't wish to hear the playlist in the same order everytime. Can this be done? If so, how?

    Yes. Go to SETTINGS > SHUFFLE, and set it to SONGS. Then, go back, highlight the name of your playlist and press PLAY. It will play just that playlist, and it will be shuffled.
    CHeers!

  • TS2972 can I use home sharing to transfer iTunes from old computer to new computer?

    can I use home sharing to transfer iTunes from old computer to new computer?

    You are trying to use home sharing, you are logged into the same account for sharing on both computers (and they are connected to the same wifi network), and what happens when you try to copy your library ? Can you update your iTunes so that they are the same on both ?

  • HT5537 How do you import/export garage band projects using the latest version of iTunes when there is no apps in the left column to select garageband?

    I am perfectly aware of how to do this using the old version of itunes.
    however i just got a new macbook pro retina... and it came with the latest version of itunes.
    and i was trying to import/export garage band files between my ipad and mac via itunes.
    and the option for apps, that is usually on the left side where you can then select garage band from in itunes, isnt there in the new version of itunes.
    has anyone got a work around for this?
    thanks.
    nic

    Nic, for me the iTunes window looks like this, when I connect my iPad 3:
    I select the iPad in the "devices" section of the Sidebar (use: "View > Show Sidebar" if the sidebar is hidden).
    Click the "Apps" tab in the "Devices" pane.
    Scroll all the way down in the Devices pane to "File Sharing" "Apps" section.
    Then do I click "GarageBand" to select the documents in the right panel.
    Which part is different for you? Perhaps you could post a screenshot?

  • When installing SQL Server is there a benefit to overriding the defaults for the Shared Feature Directory?

    When installing SQL Server under feature selection you are given the option to change the Shared feature directories. When you choose to change from the default OS drive it seems that the installation
    process still installs a large amount of files on the OS drive and then additional files under a similar drive structure on the alternative drive. Is there any real benefit to changing the default location?
    Additional is there benefit to changing the default location for the installed features, database engine etc. We are trying to create some clean templates that we can bring up in our production
    environment so we are provisioning separate drives for data, logs, backups, tempdbs but as we use the prepare image it seems like splitting the installation of sql server into two separate locations to safe minimally on file space seems counterproductive.
    I have searched for best practices and this area seems glossed over in most articles, I found a few that indicate later installation of features on a machine that use a non-standard shared component
    drive has caused issues. I would like to know there are  benefits to taking such actions.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dirk

    Hello,
    The best reason I can think about installing SQL Server binaries on another drive different than the system drive is the
    fact the page file (pagefile.sys) is located on the system drive by default. The more I/O I can prevent happening on that drive the better for the performance of operating system.
    SQL Server still installs some binaries on the system drive anyway, and creating a partition for SQL Server binaries alone
    may seem like a waste.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I use the OCR feature in Acrobat 9?

    Does Acrobat 9 have the OCR feature?  If so, where do I find it?  In Acrobat 8, one would go to Document, OCR Text Recognition, Recognize Test Using OCR, OK.  I specifically want to know how to apply OCR to a scanned document in order to use the Find feature.

    Simple. go to DOCUMENT, and then select OCR TEXT RECOGNITION.

  • Multiple iphones each with an apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates?

    We have two iphones each with a different apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates without risking having my apps overwritten.  Basically does itunes keep the two iphones as two separate entities ?  Does iTunes differentiate between the two devices and keep two different SYNCs ?

    Yes, you can use the same computer for BACK UPS, RESTORING AND UPDATING. But that is it.
    You cannot, however, use it to sync the different devices. iTunes will only recognize one device to sync with and if you sync any other devices with that iTunes library, it will replace what is on the phone with whatever is in the library. It cannot differentiate between devices. At most, it will jsut recognize that the phone has been synced with a different iTunes library.
    So if you would like to use the same computer for backing up, restoring and updating, just make sure to turn of Automatic Syncing in your iTunes Preferences.

  • How to use the "identify" feature in new 6.3.1 airport utility?

    how to use the "identify" feature in new 6.3.1 airport utility?
    so you can find the basestations in larger networks?

    There is a workaround, which is to use Airport Utility 5.6.
    I can confirm that 5.6 will run on 10.8.4 Mountain Lion, it will recognize the new 2013 Airport Extreme Base Station (A1521) running firmware 7.7.1, and it will give you access to view the device's Log & Statistics, DHCP Clients, and Profiles.
    Four caveats:
    1) The easiest way to install it is to download the app itself, not an installer or through the App Store. There is a page here where you can download the app: http://coreyjmahler.com/2013/03/08/airport-utility-5-6-on-os-x-v10-8-mountain-li on/ This way, you still have both versions, Airport Utility 6.x.x and 5.6.
    2) When you launch 5.6, you'll get a message saying a newer version is available and asking if you want to update. Click Cancel to proceed into the utility.
    3) When you click the Manual Setup button in 5.6, you'll get a warning dialog that "This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this AirPort wireless device and might improperly configure the device if you continue to use it. Check www.apple.com/support/airport for the latest version of AirPort Utility." You can click Continue to get into the utility without issue.
    4) You should probably only use 5.6 to view the additional status details. I have not tried to modify and save any AEBS settings using 5.6. There are other discussions here in the forums indicating that attempting to save settings via 5.6 that are no longer available in 6.3.1 will not actually save the settings to the AEBS even if both utilities indicate that the settings are changed. See https://discussions.apple.com/message/22677993#22677993
    So, even though you can't use it to modify settings no longer available in Airport Utility 6.3.1, using Airport Utility 5.6 to view DHCP clients, Logs and Statistics is very useful for troubleshooting network issues.
    PS - There are two ways to get to the DHCP Clients list, neither of which is obvious The first is to go to the Airport pane -> Summary tab and click on the "Wireless Clients:" label in the Summary display. All of the labels from "Wireless Mode:" down on the Summary display operate as links to view/edit the corresponding info/settings, which is also not obvious at first glance. Also not obvious, clicking on "Wireless Clients:" actually brings up a new pane with three tabs: Logs, Wireless Clients, and DHCP Clients. You can also get to the same pane by going to the Advanced pane and clicking on the Logs and Statistics button.
    I hope this is helpful information. Took me a while to find out how to do this.

  • Can two people with their own iPhones use the same computer and iTunes?

    Can two people with their own iPhones use the same computer and iTunes?

    Yes. My wife and I each have our own Apple ID and used the same computer to sync our phones with iTunes. The best way to do this is set up separate user accounts on the computer. If you are logged in to your account on the computer and your wife wants to sync here phone, you would log out and she would log in. These keeps all your stuff separate and avoids a ton of confusion.

  • How to build a report in Oracle CRM On Demand using the Shared Activities subject area to show only 5 recent activities?

    I’m trying to use the Rank function in a report and I’m having issues getting it to work.  I’m using the Shared Activities subject area and would like to rank activities by Contact. Since there are multiple activity association to the users (attendees), I’m not getting the correct ranking order.  Here is what I tried so far…
    RANK(Activity."Task Due Date" By Contact."Contact ID")
    RANK(Activity."Task Due Date" By Contact."Contact ID", Activity."Activity ID")
    RANK(Activity."Task Due Date" By Contact."Contact ID", Employee."Employee ID")
    I don’t mind getting the same values for the same dates but the increment should be in sequence.  What I’m getting is 1,1,3,3,5,6,6…  I want to show only 5 recent activities and so need the sequence of 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4… If not date, what else is there to make it unique?  I tried to rank it by Contact Id, Activity Id, Emp Id, etc.  Nothing works!
    I have tried other functions like RCOUNT, TopN, BottomN, ect. with no luck.

    Hi Max
    Our requirement is to see all the activities for a server in a month ONLY IF there are activities on DIFFERENT dates. So using my example, server2 has activties on 7/1 and 7/14. Then we want to see all the activities for server2 in that month. Server3 has two activities but both activities are on the same date. So we don't want to see server3.
    Counting by server will not work because that will include server3 in my example.
    What I really want is to be able to count unique occurrences of dates per server in a month. And if this count is > 1, then this server will be in the report.
    I used a pivot table to count the unique occurrences of dates by server by month. So using my example, I have this result:
    Server1-July: 1
    Server2-July: 2
    Server3-July 1
    What I really want (conceptually) is to be able to filter this pivot table by the matrix column which is the count. I just couldn't figure out how to do that :). Then I thought I could use this report (with pivot table result) as a filter into another report.
    Hope you have some idea....:)
    Thanks

  • My sister and I each have an ipod touch. We use the same computer and itunes but each have our own apple id. Everytime I want to update an app on my ipod it asks for my sisters apple id login!? help!

    My sister and I each have an ipod touch. We use the same computer and itunes but each have our own apple id. Everytime I want to update an app on my ipod it asks for my sisters apple id login!? help!

    When it asks for another ID on an App Update, it means that the application was purchased under your sister's ID but downloaded to your device from the iTunes library that you share. Even though you both have your own Apple IDs, since you are syncing on the same computer, you are using the same iTunes library.
    Whoever purchased the app is forever tied to it, and you can only have one version of a particular app in a single library....
    Does that make sense?
