MediaSmart Server and iTunes

I have the MediaSmart Ex487 and try to use the "iTunes" which is built in server.  The server has acknowledged and met all my iTunes music and my workstation iTunes find the shared files iTunes MediaSmart.  I can play music under the shared server, but can not create custom playlists.  If I 'add files' to my library in the MediaSmart shared music folder, I can then create playlists, but when I add the files, it creates lists duplicate in my library - instead of 2 500 songs, I gives me 5,000, each duplicate, but with different "added dates.

Has anyone experienced this and found a solution?

Mike

Well, I understood my question and feel just a little ridiculous.  When MediaSmart swept my computer for music, he swept the playlists in the music folder. So when I got to the folder "music" add to my library, he brought to all the files of music, but also as all the music associated with selections.  It was a bit of pain of having to work around this problem, but my library now seems good.

  • HP Mediasmart Server and Mac TimeVault - need help with the HUGE mistake!

    Hello

    I found this note in the help file:

    «The backup file will be located at--------\Mac\Backup.»  The file name is based on the serial number of the Mac system and cannot be changed. Do not manually delete or rename this file.

    BUT, alas, I found it too late

    I had just deleted the MAC of the server file to a new, larger

    Mea culpa

    It seems that the space allocated for the backup of Mac (600 MB) in the old file, is STILL assigned, if the file has been deleted. And since I greeted the deduplication of files, a serious part of my total serverspace/3 GB is now available to me. This leaves less free space I need for backup.

    How do I fix this?

    Can someone point me in the right direction please?

    Hi Geezer27,

    I have a few 'good' and 'not so good' news

    I don't know much about these servers, so I asked someone who does and here's what I found:

    The "good" News:

    Folder duplication does not overlap the Mac backup file, then the 600 MB does not have 1200 MB on the server.

    The new 'not very good ':

    It is not an easy way to solve this problem. The best option is to try to identify what hard physical-disk backup Mac file was located and then through the console of the server, use the function "Remove drive" to remove this disk server, then once it has been deleted through the very function of the console, use the "Add drive" to add this drive. What it will do is reformat this player to a quick format and who "should" reset Mac backup file space that has been reserved. If this does not work, you will need to take this same drive to a PC and reformat the hard drive via a PC interface.

    I hope this helps.

  • Cannot install itunes on HP MediaSmart Server EX485

    I am trying to install itunes on EX485 MediaSmart server but running in a "error message not enough permissions." I downloaded the installation on the desktop file and tries to install when you connect to the server using Remote Desktop Connection (RDC).

    I am connected with a user in the Administrators group, so I am confused how I do not have enough permissions.

    Does anyone have a suggestion?

    I found the solution. Internet Explorer has restricted installation of iTunes. The solution was:

    1. Open Control Panel
    2. Go to add or remove programs
    3. Go to add/remove window components
    4. Clear Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration check box
    5. Click next to apply the change
    6. Restart the server
    7. Install iTunes

    Is recommended after installing go back and turning security on.

  • Recovering Server HP MediaSmart EX470 and first connector install with Windows 7 Client?

    Hi, I just recovered my HP MediaSmart Server EX470 to him, State of origin using the 'server recovery disc"and tried to install the client on my first computer that is running Windows 7.  Of course the MediaSmart software date new Windows 7 and comes back with a message "Cannot be installed on this operating system".  I know there was a HP MediaSmart update to deal with Windows 7 but I don't know how to get on the server when I can not connect...  I tried the DRC in the server and I guess that the name of user and password admin is not yet activated...  Two questions: -.

    How can I get the software MediaSmart Windows 7 installed on my server or Client from here?

    Can I enter the server in any other way?

    I checked the forums, but couldn't find any solution, thank you in advance, Peter

    Hi, after a bit of thought I had an idea if I post this in case anyone else needs the answer!  I have Windows 7 Ultimate, I was able to download and install Windows XP Mode at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx.

    Step 1: Download Windows XP Mode
    Step 2: Download Windows Virtual PC
    Step 3: update Windows XP Mode

    Then you can run the connector from Windows XP and download the update for Windows 7 for Smart Media and Windows Home Server!  Best regards, Peter

  • bandwidth network and iTunes

    I use Little Snitch Network Monitor on my iMac. Earlier today, I noticed that the monitor showed a constant flow of data going down. When I looked, he showed that iTunes had 37 connections to the server and that was a total traffic of 55MO upward and 11.4 Go down into the last day and a half. I work from home so I tend to leave iTunes running all the time even if I do not use it. I turned off sharing at home and stop sharing my library on my local network only on the possibility that something was hammering. It made no difference. Network traffic drops only when I closed iTunes. As soon as I stopped him, the descending stream stops. I'm on fiber, so I'm not really worried about my use of the data, but if I let on, we are talking about about 150 GB of data in a month when not in use. The only thing that has changed is the recent update of iTunes. I'm not in the beta or GM of Sierra. I'm always on the latest version of El Capitan.

    Someone has seen this, or has any idea of what could be the cause I have?

    It had to be something Apple like this on the back-end. He passed for another day and then stopped.

  • WD my cloud and iTunes do not find files

    I bought a WD mycloud 4TB NAS to unload my iTunes files and photos from my Mac.  I don't want it as a back up that I have a time machine that is dedicated for backups. I want to delete the files from my hard drive on my mac and iTunes from the form of NAS files.

    I spent countless hours to search through messages and to try everything without success. I copied my music/iTunes folder on my NAS and it created a folder called iTunes. All files and folder structure seems good. I start iTunes with the option key is finished and select choose library. I then navigate to my new iTunes on the NAS folder. It "looks like" my songs and movies are all there after iTunes lance, however in the upper left corner, I noticed a symbol of home with a

    up and down arrow. When I choose that I have two options, 1 with check mark beside my computer and below not controlled is account. If I select account, it shows me that a blank iTunes with 'WDMMycloud' has no music? (or all that content so that ever).

    I put the iTunes from the copy folder in the folder under my name of user NAS.  My only options are:

    my user name

    PUblic

    SMartWare

    TImeMachineBackup

    can I somehow do it copied on the conduit of the root and not in a folder?  Any help would be appreciated.

    I don't have a WD NAS, but other messages that I get the WD has print server software to serve as a library as a shared item. Maybe that's what you see?  I have heard others mention small houses or anything like that when they ask about it to a normal hard disk.

    To move a library you copy just the Media folder, you copy the folder iTunes integer.

    With the help of NAS is a popular idea for iTunes libraries. The problem is iTunes and NAS don't get along together, and maybe it's your first visit here.

  • Ex487 MediaSmart Server - backup server

    I have a MediaSmart Server Ex487.  I have it set to save my home computers and that works very well.  However, I would also like to back up the server, but would like to make him a portable eSata disk or internal hard drive.  However, the only option that I can find is the backup online Amazon.  The instructions seem to say to go to the 'Computers & Backup' tab and choose where you want to save the server from there, but there is no option that I can see for this.  The literature I've read before that I bought this unit said that I could back up the server to an internal hard drive or eSata.

    Has anyone been able to back up the server itself on an eSata drive or an internal hard drive?

    Thank you.

    This has been fixed, the implementation of the backup disc did not correctly.  Drop the drive and add it again as a backup disk (and making sure that it worked this time!) did the trick.

  • Connection of printers to the MediaSmart Server

    I just bought and installed a MediaSmart Server.  Overall, it was easy to set up so that it can be seen by other machines on the network.  But how would connect you a printer so that it can be used by all those who have access to the same network?  I don't see anything about network printing in any of the documents.  How do you define a printer mediasmart?

    It is not officially supported, but it can be done.  You must use the remote desktop connection tool to enter the server (not the connection Console Windows it comes with).  Once you are remote in, you install the driver (with XP drivers) as any other Windows operating system.  Don't share out during the game.  Set up as a printer dedicated and once installed, not the configuration of additional, duplexeurs trays, paper put it, etc.  Then he split and leave the remote session.  Now, on the computers in the House, you should be able to go in network neighborhood, navigate to the server and you will see the printer.  Right-click on it, and you can install it on the computer at home.

    Let me know if you need more detailed instructions.

  • "iPhone is disabled, connect to iTunes" AND "iTunes can not connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a password" error message on the phone and the computer! Help!

    So I recently had my password wrong too many times and my iPhone 4S locked out telling me "iPhone is disabled; Connect to iTunes'. And so I connected to iTunes and decided to restore my phone. I finished the process of restoration of the configuration of my phone, but ultimately, it was not even let me in the phone! Once AGAIN he said "iPhone is disabled; " Connect " to iTunes '. However, this time, this message appeared just when I turned on my phone with a black background. I didn't scan the screen for the error message is displayed (and there was no time to be shown). When I tried to connect to iTunes again as he asked, now it says "iTunes can not connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a password".

    So now, he said "iPhone is disabled; ' Connect to iTunes' on my iPhone 4S and ''iTunes can't connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a password ' on my computer. WHAT should I do?

    As described in step 2 of "Erase your device with iTunes" in this article, you will need to use the Recovery Mode.

    Recovery mode is described in this article as well.  You may try to go into recovery mode more than once to succeed.
