Sharing my library: Is that true?
352633
I realize this may not work for everyone, but I have 2 daughters and we all three share the same i-tunes library on our desktop computer at home (which is backed up to an external hard drive for extra storage). We set up folders for each of us (Mom-workout, Mom-Old Jams, S-Country, S-Old Stuff, V-Disney, etc) and selected the "manual sync" option on our Ipods. You can have several Ipods on a library so it's really easy.... Then, we can drag and drop the songs from our library onto our individual play lists as we choose. When you plug in your Ipod, you select the playlists you want to sync only. It's pretty simple and convenient for us. AND, we are not purchasing duplicates or uploading CD's multiple times. Good Luck!

Nope, that's the best way to do it. You can either just store your documents and media on the other drive straight up for little to no setup and point each app there (iTunes and iPhoto, for example are easy to do: hold down Option when opening them). Or you can set up symlinks to folders on the other drive for better integration. Lastly, there is a hidden advanced option in System Preferences to point your entire user folder somewhere else. You could then copy your complete Home folder to the other drive; this is not recommended unless you understand what's going on and what the possible ramifications of not doing it correctly are.

Yes but we use ours since we don't have one. You only need it to access the free stuFf.

Is there a specific reason you are asking? I'm sure as you know that each device has a unique MAC address and therefore sharing this information out (which i wouldn't recommend for any device) would be a possible security risk.

Yes you can, this is The EPrint and Share feature. All you need is the email of the printer (each printer has its own address) and that's it

It is compatible with Netlibrary. Make sure you can play the audio file on your computer before you transfer the audio though. Netlibrary waits to send you the license file until after you try to play it.

NetLibrary actually allows three transfers of an audiobook file. You can look to see how many are remaining by viewing Properties then Media Usage Rights in Media Player.

i found that manufacturer says you can only use one system, but some user are using two system without problem. that's what i've found so far.

I was just able to partition a drive and load it on both computers. I've been useing a lot of answers from the internet for loading and moveing stuff around.

I agree with C. Perry. This is an ideal solution for small businesses. And like Perry, I've just gotten into streaming music and videos, and the CPU power is definitely not a problem. You might consider the merit of adding a 2nd 1Tb harddrive so you can have redundant data (for the shared folders, not for the backup database -- the backup database doesn't copy to the 2nd drive). Now, all my shared folders are automatically copied onto a 2nd harddrive, so if I experience a single hard drive failure, I'm still okay. I'd suggest not installing any apps on the server, though -- the less you install, the better. I agree with C. Perry. This is an ideal solution for small businesses.

Yes. I just bought one and borrowed books from the Public Library and transferred without any problems. Great sound.

Yes you can. There's multiple options at your disposal, such as Synology Data Replicator.

You can create several shares that can be used for any purpose. You can also give permission to users (other people) for various shares. the Mirroring is the function that I would suggest you use. I did not and that makes the unit a slower but with more capacity. I am going to change mine at some point, but I like the cloud capability that I have with mine like sharing photos and videos with family, as I am not a avid facebook user.

Sure, it's based on Linux, so it can use CIFS/NFS for sharing. I'm not as familiar with the Mac side of the aisle, but I can't imagine it not working for that, too -- it's just network-attached storage...

Yes. It can be set up a number of ways, but anything that can see it on the network (much like a network printer can be seen) can use it. It starts off with Public Shares that everyone can see. Then, if you want, you can setup a User or two and keep those separate - meaning that those separate User Shares can only be seen by the people with the correct login. The interface is quite simple to use and the software walks you through the process.

If you mean on the same computer, then no. You can have 2 copies and play over the internet with more that 2 people though.

Yes, you can, as long a you have enough GB space on the Clickfree. Check to see how much disc space is being used on each computer & tally it up.
