Wi-fi Sync without using the same network

I don't know why but I've lost all the music on my iPod touch 4th generation and I cannot have access to my library but via wi-fi because the pc with the library is at home and I am in another country at the moment. Is there a way to get my iPod to sync with my iTunes at home via wi-fi or something? iTunes wi-fi sync doesn't work, probably because the iPod and the pc aren't using the same network.. Can someone help me?

- You can have someone email the songs to you get them to you via DropBox but that will not get them into your Music app on the iPod.
- You can have someone send them to a person who has iTunes on their computer and you can then get them into Music app on the iPod by following the instructions here:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers

  • I have a first generation iPad and got my husband the iPad 2 for xmas.  is there a way to transfer his tiny tower game from my iPad to his without using the same iTunes account?

    I have a first generation iPad and got my husband the iPad 2 for xmas.  is there a way to transfer his tiny tower game from my iPad to his without using the same iTunes account?

    Apps are only tied to one account... You can set up two iTunes accounts on your computer, however, and let his iPad sync to his account. If he has never backed up his apps to a computer, however, he will have to redownload all the apps. Afterwards, he can backup to iCloud instead of your computer.

  • Home sharing suddenly stopped working. All devices have home sharing enabled, all devices are using the same network but cant see each other

    I've gone through all the Googling and support forums I can handle.. They all tell me to the same things. I have done everything required and quite honestly Home Sharing was working for quite some time. So I don't think I changed anything.
    The only culprit I can think of is the wireless network. We had to call Comcast and reset our service, and they gave us a new modem. Our router is also new.
    Is there a setting in a router that lets multiple devices connect but blocks each of them to each other? That seems to be what's happening.
    Apple TV2 can see our connection no problem and can download trailers (downloading movies never works though!!!), we have two Macs and two iPhones and all are on our wireless and none can connect to one another using Home Sharing.
    Please help!! This is an odd one!!

    I believe this is true. Alas, I wrote this a while ago and the link is dead. I can't totally remember what the issue was.
    But, looking through the PDF for the Linksys e2000, searching for 'filter multicast' I see this:
    Filter Multicast The multicasting feature allows for multiple transmissions to specific recipients at the same time . If multicasting is permitted, then the Router will allow IP multicast packets to be forwarded to the appropriate computers . Select this option to enable the filter . This option is disabled by default.
    And in my settings it's been enabled. So maybe try that.
    Filter multicast is under Securtiy>Firewall after you log in as admin.
    Why it's disabled by default I do not know.
    Good luck! Hope this is the solution!! Apple should warn people of this feature conflict to Apple TV buyers.

  • Is there a way to share music, photos, ibooks, etc., between all the users on one mac without using the same apple ID on each?

    There are 3 seperate users on my macbook used by 3 different people. I have had one apple id for awhile and have accumulated many songs, ibooks, and other things. The other 2 users just recently each made an apple id of their own. Is there a way to copy my music from the admin to their user's itunes?
    The reason behind them making their own accounts is because they want their own icloud to sync to their iphone instead of absolutley ALL of our information being availabe to each other. If sharing the music and whatnot on our mac is not possible, are there any solutions to the bigger problem of our icloud?

    How so? We bought it and it would all be on one computer.

  • Can you share photos between machines that use the same wifi network? Thanks for your help.

    Can you share photos on i-photo between machines that use the same network or even between different accounts on the same machine? I know you can share music on i-tunes but can you do the same on i-photo? Thanks for your help.

    Yes.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    You can figure out using it with another machine from that too

  • Can two Palm devices use the same Hot Sync ID?

    Can two Palm devices share the same Hot Sync ID using the same desktop? I presently owe a Treo 700p with a lot of purchased software. I'm considering buying a Palm TX handheld and would like to use both devices using the same Hot Sync ID. Is this possible and should there be any synchronization issues if they are syncing to the same desktop?

    You will be assured of unpredictable device behavior, random crashes, spontaneous resets, and other delights described in one of the boxes in the Read This First flyer if you sync two very different device models (phone vs. PDA, different screen sizes, etc.) to the same Hotsync ID on the same computer.
    This can be done but you will have to treat each sync as an Upgrade, rename the Backup folder, and reinstall third-party applications, reset your preferences, basically the entire process involving multiple syncs every time you sync. I don't think the headache involved is worth it.
    Suggest you decide which third-party apps you want on your second device and get an additional licence and registration from the developers.

  • Even though I have WiFi connections at home, I can't get emails, nor surf the web... I am using my IMac connected at the same network and it is working right now

    Even though I am ahving WiFi connections at my home, and I have been using the same network for a while, I can't get my IPad connected. The net is working fine as I am using my IMac linked at the same WiFi connection. I already run the reset the network process. Nothing hapenned.

    Can I assume that you have connected to your home WiFi network in the past with your iPad? If you have, did you try any really basic troubleshooting steps like restart the iPad or reboot it?
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Time Capsule and Extreme on the same network with different roles

    I've just bought a new Time Capsule device which replaces my slightly older Airport Extreme Base Station. The TC is attached directly to my broadband modem via ethernet. This works fine. I want to use the old AEB as a 'print server', in other words a device I can plug printers into to enable wireless printing. This is because the printers are in a different place to the telephone line in.
    With the TC running on its own, everything works fine. But as soon as I switch on the AEB, I get errors up on screen such as "IP Configuration; 91.84.115.158 in use by 00:1f:f3:3e:95:6d, DHCP Server 192.168.1.1". Alongside this error message (which occurs every 30 seconds) the internet connection frequently cuts out and comes back online by itself. Also, some computers are connecting to the AEB instead of TC for an internet connection. It's chaos!
    I have tried TC in various wireless modes such as "Participate in a WDS Network". Likewise I have set the old AEB in "Bridge Mode" for internet connectivity and the WDS is set as a remote. It seems I can only have one on and not the other. I have tried using different radio channels too without much luck.
    I have looked through the designing Airport Networks manual, but the illustrations have an AEB before the TC whereas my network is the other way round.
    Can anyone point out where I might be going wrong or offer some design advice / good links?

    I've done a hard reset of both devices and swapped them over vice-versa. The problem seems to be the network will only support a SINGLE device. In Airport Utility I can only get one of the two devices to show in the sidebar, rarely both devices are temporarily present. I've configured both to use the same network names and WPA passwords in the hope they will 'merge' together onto the same network. But one just seems to cancel out the other.
    Right now I've go the old AEB plugged back into the modem and its working. But the new TC device which I've plugged into the printers wont show on the network and has the amber light flashing.

  • HT4796 Migration assistant is telling me that it has lost connection with my Mac and to ensure they are on the same network.  They are, and an ethernet cable is plugged into them.  What do i do?

    Migration Assistant has been running since yesterday evening.  My Dell is now telling me that its trying to reconnect to my Mac and to ensure they are both using the same network.  I have an Ethernet cable plugged in them and they are both on the same WiFi.  What can I do?

    Hello Wyodor,
    thanks for your reply on my question.
    You are wright the index file is 308 KB.
    And offcourse that I delete my files and documents is not an Iweb problem, but because my English is not that good, that I thougt I try to tell the whole story, and hope people can read trough the lines.
    Why I didn't use Iweb to upload to the server is because the server company recommanded to use file zilla. And I am a nobody with this kind of things, so I did exactly what they tell me to do.
    No, i did not make a backup of Iweb and the domain file, but reading other messages on this forum showed me that I can maybe try to make empty the cashfile (?)
    and otherwise I have bad luck and have to make my website again. Offcourse I have a lot of examples from all the pages (copied from the local map to my USB stick) and my website is aprox. 15 Mb, (not so big) so it will cost me a few nigths.
    But I'm still hoping on a miracle :-)
    greetings Lasource

  • How do I make a wired connection to my Airport Extreme that will share the same network as any wireless connection to it?

    Here's the set up.
    I have a cable router into the house and then an Airport Extreme connected to it. Everything connects wirelessly to the Airport Extreme apart from one computer in the same room as it, which I wired into the AE with a cable (it's a gaming PC and has no wireless).
    How can I get that wired machine to use the same network as all the other wireless devices? When I plug the cable into it, the gaming PC only picks up the network being created by the cable box which I don't use.

    There is nothing stopping you connecting to the wireless computers if you have sharing turned on..
    How can I get that wired machine to use the same network as all the other wireless devices? When I plug the cable into it, the gaming PC only picks up the network being created by the cable box which I don't use.
    I don't quite follow this..
    If the cable modem is a router.. the AE must be in bridge mode..
    So all routing is handled by the cable modem router.. and the wireless clients will all be in the same IP range as the PC is.. please check that by opening the PC command window and type ipconfig /all
    Then go to one of the wireless devices and check that it also has the same IP range.. eg,, 192.168.x.x and same router or gateway address eg 192.168.1.1 and same DNS.. which is the same as the router address..
    Then in the command window of the PC use the command ping to see if the other devices respond.. ping it by name or by IPaddress.
    If there is no response.. windows has decided it is in a public network.. and slammed up the firewalls.. make sure your network is set as home for location.. and make sure the firewalls .. you can have multiple if you have an internet security  package are not blocking local network access.
    Also remember PC and Mac in a network can take a bit of fiddling to see each other. But ping should always respond and in both directions.

  • 2 Computers on the same network isn't working anymore

    Why can't 2 computers use the same airport? Is there a setting to change so that 2 different computers can use the same network. We were able to do it for year and then just recently something changed. Can anyone guild me? Thanks.

  • Deskjet Ink Adv. 6525 Invisible to all devices even if connected to the same network

    Okey, So a few days ago I got a  new router (new Wifi network). When I connected my printer to it, none of my Apple or Android devices couldn't find my printer, even if they could before I got my new router. I called my new network the same way as my previouse one, and used the same password,but my devices still can't find it.They're all connected to the same network, and no errors are shown on the printer, or on the Wireless network test results. I tryed everything I could find from the FAQs on this site, but I still can't solve the problem.The printer prints and scans normally when it's connected to my computer. Please answer if you have any ideas how to solve my problem!
    Best regards, Marko

    Hi Marko,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I understand that since changing your router your mobile devices can’t find your printer and you can only print from your computer with the cable connected. 
    Please run the Wireless Setup Wizard from the front panel of the printer.  Even though you have used the same network name and password, the new router broadcasts different information that the old router.  So please run the wireless setup wizard from the front panel of the printer.  The instructions on how to do this can be found in your User Guide on page 31 in the section titled “To connect the product with the Wireless Setup Wizard”.
    For your computer it sounds like the step to switch the connection from a USB connection to a wireless connection was accidentally missed during the setup.  The instructions on how to make that switch can also be found in your User Guide on page 33in the section titled “Change from a USB connection to a wireless network”. Windows and Mac each have their own sub-section.
    For your mobile devices please turn the wi-fi setting off on it.  Please wait approximately 15 seconds to allow the device to truly disconnect from the network.  Please turn the wi-fi setting back on and then choose your network.  It’s possible that the devices still “thought” they were connected to your old network as the name didn’t change.

  • Issue to send email (using sp_send_dbmail) with an attachement located in other server within the same network

    I have two servers. One is for databases (DB) with the mail server configured and the other is for SSIS without mail server. Both servers are in the same network. On the SSIS server the SSIS package exports data from the DB server table
    to xls file. The file is saved in SSIS server. When I created a task to send the email (using sp_send_dbmail) to attach that file, I got the error message:
    Error: Executing the query "EXECUTE [msdb].[dbo].[sp_send_dbmail]
     @profile_na..." failed with the following error: "Attachment file H:\test.xls is invalid.".
    Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
    A Fan of SSIS, SSRS and SSAS

    Where are you running this?
    If its in the other server (DB) you need to use UNC path to the SSIS server folder where file resides
    Also the executing account should have access to the folder as well as the file. So If you're running this from a job make sure you either provider folder and file access to sql agent job service account or create a separate proxy account with the required
    permissions and configure the job to use the account

    I have a new iPod Touch and one apple ID. I want to use My laptop aswell as my desktop computer for the one ipod, using the same apple ID. I have music on both computers and want to merge the two without losing any music or apps. How do I do this?
    My iPod has music and apps from my apple ID that I downloaded to my iPod via iCloud and some apps that I got free from the store, straight onto my iPod, but my laptop has some music on it aswell, separate from my other library. I want to put the music from my laptop into my iTunes library which I want to use on both computers. Is it possible to do this?
    Thanks.

    - You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
    Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
    - If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
    go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

    If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

  • Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both?

    Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both? Everytime I try to sync my new iPad, it syncs all the apps that are on my account. If I can do this, can someone tell me how please???

    Yes you can, easily.  When you plug the first pad in to sync, note the name of the pad on the last pane.  Set up for that device whatever you want to sync.  When you are done, plug the second pad in.  Make sure it has a different name on the left pane.   Then sync to that pad whatever you want.  I tunes will remember what you did on each pad, and will start from there the next time you plug in.
