Trying to do a very simple thing: let one Mac on my LAN change tracks on iTunes running on another Mac.
This oughta do it, right?
using terms from application "iTunes" tell application "iTunes" of machine "eppc://user:email@hidden" next track end tell end using terms from
I know the account on AnotherMac is logged in and iTunes is running, and remote Apple Events are enabled. But I just get errors like "remote access isn't allowed" or "unable to authenticate user" or a password request dialog with a completely different user account name filled in.
Why is this a problem? I read on some old web page that the target account has to be an administrator on the remote machine; is this true? Bad news if so.
I want this to work without any need to input passwords etc.
Any tips appreciated. |
