Windows Home Server and iTunes

Hi, I have the following setup (all machines on GBit LAN):
- a Windows Home Server machine with all my music on it (currently stored raw on the filesystem)
- 3 Windows XP machines
- 2 iPods
I would like an authoritative answer on how to setup iTunes on my network so that:
- I can maintain a central, organised store of my music on the Windows Home Server
- I can access all my music and podcasts on the PCs without having to copy it locally
- I can sync my iPods normally
I would like to avoid 3rd party software such as Firefly if at all possible. The WHS machine runs headless (as is normal practice) so any solution should avoid the use of desktop apps like iTunes on the server.
As WHS is gaining widespread acceptance as a home file and media server, if Apple do not have a suggested setup for iTunes/WHS I would suggest it would be a good idea to develop one.
Please note, with respect, I would like to avoid speculation. If you haven't actually done the above and proven the solution, please refrain from speculating to avoid people (myself included) going down potential dead ends.
Thank you

Has anyone found a way around this?

Windows Home Server and Apple TV 2

There are some old threads talking about Windows Home Server and the original Apple TV - the HP Windows Home Servers actually have excellent Mac support and out of the box with the Twonky Media Server that is bundled with the HP WIndows Home Servers would stream to the original Apple TV with no issue.
The wrinkle is the Apple TV 2 requires Home Sharing. I'm not going to debate good/bad - it is what it is. I was searching for a way to get my WHS working with my Apple TV 2 since I'm finally getting around to automating the transcoding of my Tivo files and I would much rather my WHS be my media server than my Mac. I came across this article that seems perfectly reasonable:
http://forum.wegotserved.com/index.php/topic/16359-whs-and-apple-tv-v2/
I haven't tried it yet, but it seems perfectly reasonable. Has anyone else tried it? I'll report back either way - if I remember to

"But can it be both simultaneously?
Both a server and a media machine that is showing a movie on your TV?"
Yes it can, no problems.
The Mini Server OSX is pretty much the same as the client Snow Leopard, complete with Front Row, iTunes, Mail, Safari etc, but no iLife09 supplied - you will have to pay extra for that.
It will do everything that Snow Leopard will do but has all the server capabilities too if you know how to set it up/use the software.
The only things I had trouble with was I can't find Migration Assistant and a strange quirk is that it won't share a USB connected printer across a network! No sign of printer sharing in System prefs but I guess you can do it via the Server config somewhere...
I just used CUPS to enable Bonjour printer sharing - works fine
I have been able to insatll everything I had on my previous CoreDuo Mini including Final Cut Express, iLife09, EyeTV, some bit torrent stuff - all works fine...
I really like the fact that I can plug two monitors in - I have the MiniDVI connected to a 50" plasma and 1080p Projector (using an HDMI splitter), the Mini Display port feeds a separate 20" widescreen monitor - when the plasma/PJ is switched off the main display automatically switches back to the 20" monitor
All in all this MiniServer is a great little HTPC - powerful and silent with 1TB of storage. The Server software is a bonus I haven't even looked at as yet

How do I get MacBook Air to see Windows Home Server and show it in Finder?

New to Mac (having used Windows for years) so this may be a dumb question. Have a MacBook Air (new) and have a home network with a Windows Home Server on the network. I can't figure out how to get the MacBook Air to see the Windows Home Server. It doesn't show up in Finder and I think my lack of understanding of Mac OS it inhibiting me from figuring out how to get the MacBook Air to see the server and show it so I can navigate to the files on it, etc. Any suggestions on how to do this or where I can go to read about it to figure it out?
Thanks!!!

If the Windows Home Server functions like a file server, try the following: From the Finder, Click the Go menu at the top of the screen, and choose Connect To Server. You will be presented with a dialog box to enter the server IP address.
You may also want to open the Preferences for the Finder from the File menu, and make sure connected servers are supposed to show up on the desktop and in Finder windows.
Disclaimer: I have not used a PC for 15 yrs, so this is general information. This is the process I use to connect to other Mac servers and to several online WebDav servers.

Audio: Best Windows Home Server 2003 ITunes usage?

Hi,
I have this WHS box that needs to stream Audio content to AEX, ATV etc. I have searched this topic and there seems to be a lot of concerns, though most adresses W7 and Vista. For some reason Windows delivers inferior sound out-of-the-box with ITunes than Apple. Why is this?
I think I'm in the same boat with W2003 as all the other windozes yes? Anyways, what setup/usage will provide the best sound to my players? The server has a soundcard which I dont want to "go through" if you know what I mean here...
Any advices?

Mavericks Broke connection with Windows Home Server - SMB

I have the original version of Windows home server and all connections were fine over SMB, but after the upgrade to maverick I cannot connect to my shares.
Before I used the guest account, so I created an addtional account for testing. I can see this account get locked out on the WHS, so I know its talking to it.

Please help

Reinfire,
I tried your terminal window patch but it failed to solve my issue. Most people seem to be trying to connect to NAS devices from their Macs. In my case, all my data is on a Drobo hanging off my Mac Pro. I've been using SMB to share video from my Mac to both a Boxee Box and a Raspberry Pi running Openelec (XBMC). While both these devices can handle afp, the old Boxee Box is less than astute with afp so SMB was the method of choice for stability.
Anyway, both devices can no longer see the SMB shares off the Mac Pro, even after your patch. After runnig you patch, I restarted and the nsmb.conf file is created. But, no luck on connecting with these apparently non SMB2 devices.
I can change all my shares over the afp but this will take a lot of button pushing that I'd rather not do. Any suggestions for this scenario?

Problems trying to copy iPhoto library to Windows Home Server

I recently purchased a Windows Home Server and want to put my iPhoto library on the NAS. I am having problem and have tried several different approaches to no avail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I understand that the iPhoto library is a package and since WHS only support SMB, directly copying the library is not achievable. After reading on the internet attempts to get Time Machine working on WHS, I tried to create disk images (regular, sparse, and sparse bundle) but all three fails to get created when I tried.
Has anyone successfully kept their iPhoto library on a WHS server or has successfully created disk images on a WHS server? I would appreciate any pointers. Please let me know if you need any additional information.

That code is
-36
ioErr
I/O error (bummers)
Make sure the EHD is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) and run Disk Utilty on the EHD and repair the disk. If that fails to help I'd try the following:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the external HD as the location of the newly rebild library.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Bug safari 3 in Windows Home Server

Organizing Photos on a Windows Home Server

I thought I had a great plan but am having second thoughts. I have a larger folder structure of photos on a Windows Home Server and migrated to Mac a few months ago. I've imported the photos (but UNselected "Copy items to the iPhoto Library" since I didn't want to duplicate the files). All seems to be working great and everything is well organized. I then discovered that the iPhoto library is still on my local HD (2 Gigs and counting). I assume this is due to items duplicated when i edit them using iPhoto. I really want only one file location and tried moving the iPhoto library to the server but then iPhoto became REALLY slow. I have a gigabit wired home network so don't think it's the network's fault.
Any ideas on how I could fix this? Or automatically delete the original photos and move the modified ones into the original folders?
Thanks in advance!

remember iPhoto is a basic very inexpensive consumer photos organization program - you are trying to use it way above its capabilities or intent
The iPhoto library works just fine on any drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) - it does not have to be on your boot drive - it simply does not work on other formatted drives or with the originals not imported into it -- Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
There are several Digital Asset Managers (DAMs) available for the Mac and one of them should work for you in the way you want to work

Can my Macbook use an all-in-one connected to a Windows Home Server

Hey All, How do I connect my Canon Pixma MX700 to the Windows Home Server and be able to both Print and Scan from my Macbook over the network.

I just saw this post--it's for a different Canon than yours but it might point you in the right direction:
"The Canon MF6500 series uses the Canon UFR2 printer driver, which also supports the larger Canon multifunction copiers. If the printer is connected directly to the network via Ethernet, you use the More Printers > Canon IP (UFR2) option to enter the ip address of the printer. If the device is connected via USB, the Default browser view is used. In both cases, the user has no option to manually select the model in the print using menu. The driver communicates with the printer to determine which model it is.
If you have the printer connected via a Windows share, or to the USB port of a wireless router, the driver cannot 'see' the printer and will not complete the creation of the printer queue.
For a wireless router with Ethernet ports, you can connect the printer via Ethernet and then use the More Printers function. Of course the printer would require an Ethernet port for this to be possible, and I am not sure if you have such an option on the MF6500. If not, then you won't be able to use the printer the way you want.
FYI - the Apple Canon driver package is for the inkjet printers only.

TS1490 i am running Windows Home Server 2011 and iTunes can't seem to connect to the iTunes Store nor run Genius on my Library. What do I need to do?

I am running Windows Home Server 2011 and have installed iTunes on my dedicated server, attached to my router. I can't connect to the iTunes Store nor run Genius on the server ONLY (iTunes runs fine on by two other PCs and my Apple TV and I share the libary that resides on the server). I am running a very current version of iTunes 64 bit. I have run the connectivity test and it failed.
My guess is that there is some setting in the Server software that i need to change to let iTunes access urls or computers on the internet. Does anyone have any experience with this software combination?
Thank you

Some guy managed to get this to work. The following link is for iTunes 10.5 but it should work for the current release.

ITunes and Windows Home Server

This is probably a question for the Apple developers instead of the community of Apple product users, but here we go:
I'm involved in beta testing Microsoft's new Windows Home Server that's due for release in a few months, and so far it's looking like a much better solution than any network hard drive setups that I've seen so far. I've even put iTunes on it and have been testing syncing an iPod to it, and everything works great. The problem is that Home Server isn't designed to be a computer that people actually log directly into, either by sitting at the keyboard/mouse or by remote desktop. It has a special user interface for managing the server, as using the real tools can break the spiffy dumbed-down versions of stuff they've set up.
What I want to know is whether or not there are any plans for Apple to release a version of iTunes that will have a remote control function of sorts built in, so that playlists can be created, iPods synced and properly disconnected, and the library managed from a remote computer on the same network. Sharing the library isn't a problem. I've already put that feature to use and it works great. But I'd like to be able to sit at my laptop and manage the library stored on my server, via remote interface.
Of course, in keeping all of the content creators happy, the computers that control the remote iTunes setup would have to be authorized to play content from that library.
This could really just be a feature added to the library sharing function.
Thanks in advance for any insight!

ITunes very slow downloads of apps, podcasts, and music with library stored on a Windows Home Server (WHS)

First, some history. I setup a Windows Home Server (WHS) to store all my media. I had configured itunes to store its library at \\server\music (this would be whatever shared folder you choose to store your music on for your WHS (and possibly NAS box)) and itunes was managing my library. Once everything was imported into the server, I found I was getting horrible speeds for downloading apps, podcasts, and music. We are talking 10 minutes to download a 14Mb file on a Fibre connection where I consistently get 25 to 30Mb / second performance. Syncing my iPad / iPhones was a nightmare due to the time needed to be invested in it.
The server, the PC, the router and corresponding switches were all gigabit and yet I was getting dial-up speeds. Transfering files between systems was well within spec, but itunes was running as if it were using smoke signals. I spent some time searching various user groups and support sites to no avail.
To correct this, I only had to log onto the WHS (or NAS) and disable the iTunes Server.
Reboot of the server, reboot your iTunes PC, and you are good to go. My podcasts went from a 20 minute download time for an average episode of T.W.I.T. to about 7 to 10 seconds.

UPDATE
Please disregard the above. While the above did improve performance for a short time, the problem returned. I spent the next week running a full Spinrite on all 4 1TB HDDs that were in the NAS. All drives were fine. I then did some research on the individual drives, and it turns out that 3 of them were 7200RPM Hitachi's and the latest drive added was a 1TB Western Digital GREEN drive (WD10EADS). This was the source of the issue.
Additional information available at http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=32179
I replaced the WD10EADS with another 7200RPM drive (seagate this time) and the NAS has been working flawlessly again (again, disregard the above post)

ITunes and the Windows Home Server (on Acer h 340 hardware)

Hi,
I am going to install a Windows Home Server on an Acer H 340 server. I would like to route iTunes library to that server to free disc space on my laptop.
Will I still be able to use the clients (my Dell) iTunes to manage my ipod with the library on the WHS ?
How do I route iTunes to the WHS and is there something I need to take care of or avoid whilst teaming up the two ?
I will keep on using Windows Media Player 11 for streaming my music around the house, though... so it is iTunes really only for the managing of my ipod...
Unfortunately, Acer does not ship the WHS with any add-on software liek HP does with its home server, that eases working with iTunes through a special iTunes server application on top of the WHS OS... Any recommendations for that ?
Thanks a lot,
D

What you need to do is map a network drive on your PC to your WHS Music shared folder (make it M: for Music, if you like). Then move/copy your entire iTunes library to your new M-drive. Then when you start iTunes hold down the shift key and locate your library on your M-drive. You'll have to make sure that you are letting iTunes manage your music so that it will copy your music to the M-drive when you add it to iTunes.
Make sure that you enable duplication for your Music folder if you have more than one hard drive.
I am not an expert by any means but I am running iTunes this way on my WHS.
I think the add-on software that you are referring to is Firefly Media server. It is easily added to any WHS. When installed you can direct it to a folder and it will find all playlists and music files and present them to iTunes clients on your network. It is very slick.
Hope this helps,

Home Sharing in Itunes 9 on Windows Home Server

I have installed iTunes 9 and have started using Home Sharing. I want to be able to use Home Sharing with my WHS (Windows Home Server) as our music is stored there and we have iTunes on all computers, plus 2 iphones and iPods.
This would need a Home Sharing server (service) to run on the WHS. Has Apple produced such a piece of software or can I install the Home Sharing component of iTunes 9 on my server? I am advised (by Microsoft) that installing iTunes 9 is not a good idea on WHS as WHS is designed to run services not user apps.
Any suggestions or has Apple someting in plan?
It seems that sharing between PCs is a bit behind the times when many people have moved over to Home Servers or NAS drives.

I too would like to would like to know how to implement iTunes on Windows Home Server (WHS) so my Music library can be stored on a redundant source that is always available to be accessed from any PC in the house. Does Apple have a way to do this or plans to create a product for WHS?
I understand Firefly can be used to stream music content on a WHS, but think this should be a complete iTunes solution with a common library and allow playlist storage from iTune clients that connect to it.
