What is the best way to share music wirelessy at home using a external hard disk?

We would like to find the best way we can access wirelessly our music track stored on a external hard disk at home?  We would it to be able to access them by using MAC, PCs, iPads, Android and iphones.

Personally, I use MobileMe and let my family watch the movies on line. It is easy to share this way. I share the movie in Large (960x540) or Medium to iTunes. Then I share to Mobile Me.
For personal viewing, I use the Apple TV.
You can also burn a data DVD of your finished movie, and let them copy the file to iTunes from their data DVD.
You can upload the movie to other video sharing services such as YouTube or Vimeo.
You can burn a blu-ray disk if you have Toast and a BluRay burner. You can burn a short movie to regular DVD media using Toast and a regular DVD burner that is playable on most BluRay Players.

  • HT3819 what is the best way to share music from my home computers with sonos?

    I have 2 iMacs and a Macbook Pro, all with different music in iTunes. What is the best way to share all the music with Sonos? Home sharing or Music sharing?

    I've always been partial to Numark and Audio-Technica. Have several DJ friends and a client who runs a DJ business, and they use Audio-Technica stuff almost exclusively.
    You may be surprised at how easy it is...
    With the exception of cameras (webcams especially) Macs are pretty much "Plug &Play" with anything USB, and even though I've never used one, reviews say you just plug the turntable in and it reads as a drive.

  • What is the best way to back up an iPhoto Library to an external hard drive?

    I have a very large photo library, and I manage all of my photos with iPhoto. I want to back some of them up to an external hard drive, but still have them accessible from iPhoto (when the hard drive is plugged in). I thought it would be as easy as dragging the photos from iPhoto to the external hard drive, but I found out the photos are actually stored in the "package contents" of the iPhoto library. There are several folders in the package contents folders, and it is very confusing.
    Should I use time machine to back up my iphoto library? If not, what should I use?

    That's exporting photos, not splitting a library.
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    Now you have two full versions of the Library.
    3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
    Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
    Some Notes:
    As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
    You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

  • Whats the best way to share music?

    whats the best way to share music on 2 computers with 2 different accounts?

    Turn it up so the person at the other computer can hear it
    Seriously though, put your iTunes library in a shared folder.  One computer has to be the "master" of the library.  The second computer will just connect to it.
    Set the second computer to connect to that Library on the shared folder.  Make sure that "Keep iTunes media folder organized" is turned OFF on the second computer.

  • What is the best way to share a iTunes library between 5 users on the same computer?

    What is the best way to share a iTunes library between 5 users on the same computer?
    Currently I have a common itunes library in a shared folder that each user is linked to.  The problem is that when one user adds music to the shared file, it does not automaticaly appear to other users when they open their iTunes.  They have to go to the shared library and select the new music in order to make it visable in their iTunes.
    Would iTunes file shareing fix this problem?
    Thanks

    Rick, are you saying that if you try to share a folder outside of home and use sharepoints, then the other mac wont prompt you to log in? Have you tried that? It is hard to believe that is the case
    I am sort of saying that. Have you tried it? I know it's hard to believe, but you really need to help us out by trying some steps that you don't believe.
    We can't see what your exact situation is. We sort of know what's worked for us out here. Just trying to help you get this going in less than 24 hours!
    Sharepoints manages the samba configuration file. It's free software that puts a pretty face on an otherwise cumbersome config file.
    Give it a shot.
    windows will not prompt for passwords, I have tried this with multiple computer at home for both vista and xp
    As I stated. You will not get prompted on windows, if you have set up sharing in an insecure fashion. You are not using a secured sharing situation.
    No argument with your statement.

  • What is the best way of putting music onto another iphone?

    What is the best way of putting music onto another iphone for a different itunes account user and different phone carrier? multiple user accounts on my mac? or home sharing to put the music on? then they have their own itunes account for apps etc?

    Hi DVX100Shooter,
    Congratulations on getting your son a new iPad, I am sure he will enjoy it. 
    Family Sharing is one way of managing both purchases and content between members of a related group of people. Each member must have their own Apple ID. You can choose what music you wish to share with the family from your own account. See this article -
    OS X Yosemite: Share purchases with your family
    In particular the section titled Hide a purchase from other family members
    The music library on your son's iPad is separate from yours, but under Family Sharing you agree to pay for all purchases made through the iTunes store. If you wish to control what is purchased you can set up the Ask to Buy option for any family member under adult age in your location. See this article for details -
    Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support
    Gift cards may not be used for billing of purchases under family sharing, with the exception that a family member may use gift cards to purchase their own content. See this article for information about Family Sharing billing policies -
    Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
    The shared family photo album is available to all family members.
    Family Sharing - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • What is the best way to share the High Res images ...

    What is the best way to share the High Res images on my Nokia Lumia 1020?  My Android friends really want to see the original ~12MB images taken with Nokia Pro Camera?
    -Paul
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    if you have the att device, then use your att locker.
    ANYONE can sign up for the att locker here:
    https://locker.att.net/app/#welcome
    even if you do not have ATT service, you should sign up NOW.
    There is an application that is pre-installed to allow for the 1020 to upload the full resolution files to the AT&T locker.
    AND, because they are launching the 1020, they are giving a free upgrade to the account to the 50GB box instead of the 5GB.
    they are doing this for a limited time only, I have created a couple of accounts.
    after you create your account, it will have to be verified. after you check your email and verify the box, log back in and you will see it is only a 5gb account.
    click on "my Account/upgrade" and choose the 50GB and you should see it say FREE under the cost.
    then you can upload the full res pictures and share them that way.
    otherwise, if you are within reach, try Bluetooth transfer.

  • What are the best ways to share photos from iPhoto?

    What are the best ways to share photos from iPhoto?

    If you use Adobe Photoshop, or even Adobe Photoshop Elements, stay as far away from iPhoto as possible.
    iPhoto does not play nice with Adobe software or with software from any other third party developer.
    iPhoto will hide your image files in a library paradigm where you have no access to them other than through iPhoto.

  • What's the best way to share photos?

    Now that MobileMe Gallery is gone, what's the best way to share photos over the internet?
    Is there some simple method where I can upload an entire album from iPhoto and then send a link to others so they can view them?
    I've tried both Flickr and Shutterfly and did not like either.

    I find it best to focus on solutions.
    Why can't iPhoto just pull the images from a media browser or something over the network?
    I don't know. Part of the issue has to be that iPhoto is not a HD browser. Another part is what you mean by " ... just pull the images".
    Any tips on creating a locally hosted web gallery?
    My greatest single tip of all time: try it! The tools available to use for just a few hundred dollars are astoundingly powerful.
    Or... does anyone have any Automator magic they'd like to share?
    No need. Web galleries are built into Aperture 3. Put the images you want to be in the gallery in one Album (Smart or otherwise). Select all the images. Click "New→Web Page". Select a theme. Change some of the text. Make some other changes. Click "Export Web Pages ... ". Make some more decisions. Give the folder a name. Save it somewhere with access to those whom you wish to see it. Select "Tell me when done". Check your email (have a coffee). Click "Show in Finder". Open the folder. Double-click the file "index.html". Brilliant! Enjoy.
    The trick to sharing this is to make the folder available. The index file will always open the web site pages in a web browser.

    You could export it out to a Windows Media file.

  • What is the best way to share over 1000 pictures on Apple TV?

    What is the best way to share over 1000 pictures on Apple TV?

    Creating Shared Photo Streams:
    Shared Photo Streams are permanent iCloud albums for storing photos and videos that can sync across all your iCloud-enabled devices. This is different from your "My Photo stream" that's basically a running tally only holding photos for about a month or 1,000. Shared streams follow different rules...
    In your photos app in an iPhone or ipad, at the bottom you'll see a "shared" icon.  Choose it and then create a new shared stream, you don't have to actually share it with anyone when it prompts you for a contact just click "Create".  Then choose the photos you want in there.  If your Apple TV is linked to your iCloud account you will be able to see those shared streams.
    See here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5902.
    Apple states:
    How many photos and videos can be stored in a shared stream?
    A shared stream can hold a maximum of 5000 photos and videos combined. When you reach your limit, you must delete some photos or videos before adding new ones.
    How long are iCloud Photo Sharing photos and videos stored in iCloud?
    The photos and videos you share (and the comments or Likes associated with those photos) remain in iCloud until you or the contributor delete them manually, or until you delete the shared stream completely.

  • [Solved] What is the best way to share pacman cache ?

    I'm wondering what is the best way to share the pacman cache .
    I went with the obvious choice 'sshfs' . But the cache on the server is owned by root so I can't use it dynamically unless I enable root logins , right ?
    Is it safe to enable root logins and mount with the root user ?
    What is the best and safest way to share pacman cache dynamically ?
    Last edited by Nezmer (2008-12-07 01:13:20)

    Interesting. I use sshfs and yes use root login to do business. But I see it this way you want more security created a stronger password. You want more security than that disable passwords and use keys. But once you start NFS you are surely introducing some security issue just as if you enable root ssh login, so why is NFS better?
    Just asking out of interest, I claim to know nothing about security.

  • What is the best way to open emails and attachments without using wifi?

    For I-phone and I-pad, what is the best way to open emails and attachments without using wifi?  I turned off wifi in my settings but my boss thinks there may be another way and a better way to use something else instead of wifi.  Any help would be appreciated!  Thank you!

    Thanks!  That is a very good question you post.  My boss asked me that and I am assuming that he is having issues with using wifi wherever he is at.  My boss is the kind of person that when he asks something you look into it and ask him no questions...he's the only one asking questions!  But thank you for your response I will tell him the information you told me and hopefully that will help!
