Guys, I have a pbook with mostly business related podcasts + my favorite "wake-me-upper" music. Now, by policy, (and by storage limitations) I cannot store a copy of it in my work computer, (A toshiba satellite). Some of my office mates also wanna hear the business-related podcasts, and they have the same PC laptop as mine, or better. Now my noob questions is -- How do I set up my Toshiba laptop to receive shared music on my mac itunes via wi-fi? And how do i configure my Airport settings and Mac iTunes so that it will share my media files? The other reason why i want to do this? The speakers of the Toshiba laptop is way much better than the pbook. Thanks
@Tantantiniiin I do the same thing at work. I'm not sure if you want to share via Airport of your PB or by using an Access Point. At work I attach my Airport Express. To share from iTunes do the following: Open iTunes Preferences. Go to sharing. Check Look for shared music (if you want to listen to other users shared iTunes) Check Share my Music You will have several choices Share entire library Share selected Playlists You can change your share name You can also require a password for people connecting. Open Your PB System Preferences. Go to sharing Go to Firewall Check iTunes Music Sharing Make sure that your workmates check "look for shared music" in their iTunes. To make your PB as an access point: Turn on your Airport Create a Network Other wifi enabled computers must connect to the network you've created. I've never tried this set up while attached to another network. I've only done this when I don't have my airport express and other Mac users want to listen to my music via iTunes or see my photos via iPhoto.
