Why my Routeur Netgear DG834G doesn't allow to share my ITunes library ?
My config : a modem-routeur Netgear DG834Gv3
a macpro plugged by ethernet port
a macmini by wifi
a macbook pro by wifi
Since I 've installed this routeur, internet access and sharing works well but I can't see my shared iTunes libraries on the different mac at home.
I've tried to create a rule and open a service on the port 3689 in the routeur but it doesn't work. the macos X firewall isn't activated...
Same problem with iphoto libraries
And I dont't see the other macs when I clik on "Server" in the finder window.
Can someone help me ?
Thank you.
Firewall rules usually only apply to the WAN port so unless you have configured the router otherwise, I would close that port.
The one common item to all of your problems is mDNS or Bonjour. That is what Macs use to advertise all of the services you listed. If all devices are on the same subnet, it should work with out any problems unless you have configured the router to filter multicasts.
Are your wired and wireless clients on the same subnet? If they are not on the same subnet, your router would have to route multicasts. Though most "home" routers only route with regard to the WAN port, so I would look for some kind of filter that is stopping multicasts on the local network.
I don't know enough about that router to say what it normally does with multicasts.

my iphoto doesn't allow to share the photos '09 (8.1.2) to facebook anymore. publish button doesn' work. (it used to be OK) anyone has any idea?
There are a couple of things that could be causing this. Try:
delete your iPhoto cache
hold down the option key
in the Go menu in the Finder, scroll down to Library
in Library, find Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhotoin that folder, find Cache.db and drag it to the trash.
delete the iPhoto preference file
do the same trick with the option key to show ~/Library
in Library/Preferences, find com.apple.iPhoto.plist, and drag it to the trash
if there are multiples of any of these files, drag them to the trash too.
delete the Keychain entries and do Keychain First Aid
in Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access
in the column on the left select login and under category, Passwords
delete all of the entries that include iPhoto or Facebook
in the Keychain Access menu, scroll down to Keychain First Aid, enter your user password, select repair, and click start.
Then restart your computer
new caches and preference files will be generated
you will need to reenter your iPhoto preferences
reenter your facebook user name and password in iPhoto
this should fix it.

Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?
Examples of what is going on:
1. In Pages, Numbers & Keynote, when I go to the media browser the Audio section reads "Open iTunes to populate this list" even after iTunes has been opened, .xml file has been replaced/repaired, etc AND Photo section reads "Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list" even after iPhoto Library has been replaced and new default library created.
2. In iMovie, similar thing ... when I go to add photos or music to a movie the iTunes files aren't present and the iPhoto photos are missing with similar messages as in #1.
3. In iPhoto, similar thing ... when I go to add music to a slideshow it says to "Open iTunes to populate this list".
It is shocking to me that Apple would let something as simple as a pathway link to associated library files get this messed up on an upgrade, but what's even more surprising is that with the number of people who seem to be having this particular issue (and I can tell from all the research that I've done for weeks online that there are a lot of them) that there doesn't seem to be a single clear answer to fixing it anywhere on these community support forums. Most of what I've seen is rehashed advice from outdated issues. What I need is a simple answer to how do we get these programs to look for the correct location of the photo and music files because I sure can't seem to find any logical place to do that through the programs' preferences files or the system preferences window?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Here's the details on the software/hardware:
MacBook Pro
Mac OS X
Version 10.7.5
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
iTunes 11.0.4 (4)
iPhoto '11 9.4.3 (720.91)
iMovie '11 9.0.9 (1795)
Keynote '09 5.3 (1170)
Pages '09 4.3 (1048)
Numbers '09 2.3 (554)I have the same problem on a new MacBook Pro. I have not been able to access the iTunes library from iPhoto since I got this computer. I looked in the Preferences file and deleted the com.apple.iApps.plist but there was no com.apple.iApps.lockfile so I just deleted the iAPPs.plist and rebooted the computer. Still no iTunes available in iPhoto.
All my music is in iTunes and plays. After reading the above I brought up Pages and I was able to access music and insert a track into a document.
Do you have any suggestions. -
why does it tell me my ipad is synched with another itunes library and wants to erase the thing when I want to synch it? I haven't synched it with any other mac but my own.
Hi Lisa,
I know from experience that this must be a frustrating situation for you especially if you don't want to loose the music/video content that is currently on your ipod. Unfortunately though you may have to consider re-syncing it as it thinks its currently synced with another computer.
If you bought any music that is on the ipod through itunes you can opt to right click the ipod in itunes and 'transfer purchases' if you authorise your library in the 'Store' menu in itunes. Some reasons for this happening may include some of the following:
Deleting and reinstalling your itunes on the computer.
Removing the account you had on the computer you used itunes in and making a new one. (User account, eg: Lisa).
Changing computers in the past.
A friend or family member syncing it on their computer to give you there music.
A sign of a failing iPod.
Alternatively you can opt to not sync it and keep the music that is on your ipod there but this means you will never be able to update your ipod.
Hope this helps! -
Does home sharing allow me to share my iTunes library with other users on the same imac
Does home sharing allow me to share my iTunes library with other users on the same imac?
Apparently so (as long as each user operates out of a different Mac User account).
After setting up home sharing in the various different user accounts on the Mac, you need to have iTunes open in the account that you want to Home Share from.
Now use fast User Switching to get into the account that you want to Home Share to. Launch iTunes in there. The library in the other account should appear as shared for you. -
With ITunes in Windows Vista, I've attempted to drag and drop a homemade video folder from my Desktop to ITunes on the PC in order to transfer it to my IPad (as per instructions), but it doesn't show up in my ITunes library. What else should I be doing?
Do you have any videos/movies in the video app?
In iTunes if you right click on the video and select Get Info and go to the Option tap what Media Type is shown? -

Airtunes doesn't allow some songs in itunes to broadcast to A. Express
Airtunes works fine most of the time. After downloading some mp3s into iTunes and playing them I noticed that they weren't being broadcast to the A. Express. When I tried it with other songs it worked fine.(one thing I also noticed was that when I play a song that is broadcast, before it plays the song, iTunes puts up a little window that says "broadcasting to Airport Express". On these new mp3s when I play them, there is no little window about an attempt to broadcast the mp3s).
Any insight?
Thanx ahead of time.

Why does Adobe say Mozilla doesn't allow download of "Reader"?
While trying to install Adobe Products (Reader), the installation screen instructs that if you use Mozilla, then you must read the installation instructions. Pressing the "button" does not take you to the installation instructions. However, I've had input that Adobe support says Mozilla has trouble with registering Adobe files.
Irrespective of the problem that may exist between your companys' software, the Federal Government uses Adobe almost exclusively for their document downloading, and "filling in" on-line. If they are correct, then I must go back to I.E., if I am to continue interfacing with Government sites.
Please help me. I'm trying to get rid of Microsoft, not go back to them.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.adobe.comGenerally I don't know of any problems using Adobe Reader with Firefox - mine works just fine, and both install from the web (via the Adobe DLM) and offline installation (downloading the complete installer) works just fine.
When you go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/ you should end up on the Adobe Reader download page.
Disable the McAfee Security Scan offered below, and click the Download button.
You should now end up on the "Thank you"-page and get a yellow line at the very top of the browser asking if you want to allow Adobe to install the DLM online-installer system. Here you can click the "Allow" button to start installation of the DLM, which in turn should start downloading the Reader installation.
If you don't get this box, some security software (I see you have Norton) could be preventing it from showing up at all.
Or, you should be able to get around the problem on that "Thank you"-page by clicking the link in the 2nd line of the text - it says something like "If the download does not start, click here to download" of which the last part of the line is a link to the complete Adobe Reader (offline) installation package.
Download this and run the file, that should install Adobe Reader 9.2 with full integration in Firefox.
When the installation is complete (and your system may need to be restarted after this), please remember also to start the Adobe Reader from the new icon on your desktop (or from Start menu), and go to menu "Help" -> "Check for updates" to get the latest updates installed - current fully updated version is 9.3.2, but Adobe does not offer the fully updated version as a complete download.
As an alternative, you could also install and use the [http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ Foxit Reader] - this also works very well for most PDF-files and online PDF forms. It has the advantage of being much smaller, faster, and somewhat safer as it's not as widely used as Adobe Reader. The disadvantage is that it may not support every single type of PDF file, althou I have yet to meet a file it couldn't handle.
Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help other users with similar issues. -
Change of icloud password doesn't allow to share screen on mini
Just changed my ICloud password for security reasons, all the devises are OK, but the Mini in my network. It does not allow to see the shared screen, no Apple ID nor user name allow to enter. What can be a problem? Tnx
What do you mean by "shared screen?" Are you using a special app that lets the ipad act as an external monitor for a computer or are you trying to remotely control another computer using a shared screen?

Why doesn't my iphone5 sync with itunes library?
Having trouble syncing my iphone5 with my itunes library. What is the problem?
If you've had the OS reinstalled on the computer then it's likely that it will be being seen as a a different computer.

Why can't I change the order of songs in my iTunes library?
If I create a playlist I can change the order of songs but I can't change the order in the Library. Can anyone help me?
ThanksThat's the normal intended behaviour of the Library. I'm not exactly sure why it is, but I guess it's to make it clear to users that if they want to "fine tune" the tracks they should use a playlist (just like you can't use the burn button in the library).
I'm sure you've noticed that you can still sort the library by clicking the headings. -
I would like to add all the music that is on my ipod to my itunes library - for some reason the backup itunes library I have does not have all the music on it and I do not know how to get the songs from my ipod to the itunes library - I do not want to sync the ipod with the current itunes as this would wipe out all the music I have on my ipod. please help me to get this music back on my computer or in the itunes library.
One option is to use iTunesFS and extract songs from your iPod.
