I have just bought a MAC Pro and want to avoid having to turn on my old PC as the network base?

Hi

How do I change my server for "Home Sharing". I have an old PC which has been the server. I have just purchased a Mac Pro and want to avoid having to turn the PC on when sharing music/songs etc at home ie how do I change the server from my PC to the Mac???

With thanks

Hey maolom,

Thanks for the question. It sounds like you may benefit from transferring your library from the PC, to the Mac (to avoid having to turn on the PC and use Home Sharing).

The following article outlines various options for doing so:
