Direct connect to windows Computer?

Is there a way to use ethernet or something else to connect directly to my windows computer to share files. I have it on the network but I want it to be faster. How would you direct connect it with ethernet?

Any Ideas?

    i have attached the picture of that window's screenshot. plus when ever i try deleting them it says,
    please help!.. i shall be really thankful.
    iPhone 5s, iOS 8

    I have the same issue and it has to do with iOS 8.2
    Apple, please mend this ASAP. Really stupid change since iOS 8.1
    If you for some reason must have many different folder make sure that you put the newst photo in the last folder so one can easily find a photo when I don't want to copy all photos to, let' say, my friend computer.

    I recently bought an Ipod touch 2nd gen, (Ebay). It's in great shape and seemed to be wiped clean.
    When I connect (via windows computer) to Itunes with usb cord the Ipod icon shows, but the only function you can do is eject. When its in the upper right hand corner and you click on it all you get is a done button, when it's in the side bar right click and your only option is eject, left click has no effect. If I go to "file">devices it's as if there are no devices connected.
    I purchased a song with Itunes on the Ipod itself, and it transferred to my library on the computer automatically .
    I have an Iphone 5 and a nano that are still functioning with Itunes thru computer so I'm thinking the issue is with the Ipod touch. I've reset it several times, rebooted it, with no change.
    nothing on the internet has helped, I called tech support and got disconnected. Should I take it to a retail store? I just don't know where to go next, I'm of course willing to pay for tech or repair. looking for suggestions.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • When ipad connected to windows computer for sync I cannot install or remove an app. Screen does not react. Also lost my app store app from the ipad screen

    when ipad connected to windows computer for sync I cannot install or remove an app. Screen does not react. Also lost my app store app from the ipad screen. IPad is ipad 2 and op system is 8.1.1. Just tried full restore and still the situation is the same.

    For the missing App Store issue, if you swiped fro screen to screen to look in other folders and didn't find it, and did a spotlight search to see which folder it is in and had no success with that, Check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that you didn't disable it.
    You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad.
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.
    For the syncing issue, which screen does not react, the computer and iTunes or the iPad?

  • Unable to print to Canon iR-Adv C5045 from MacBook Pro that is connected to Windows computer and shared on the network

    I am unable to print to a Canon iR-Adv C5045 from a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.4) that is connected to Windows NT computer and shared on the company network.  I am connected to the network by ethernet.
    I was able to add the printer manually by going to Advanced, Windows printer via spoolss, smb://computer name/printer name and used the Canon iR-ADV C5045/5051 driver.
    When I print it appears to be printing but nothing comes out.  I checked the completed jobs from the Print Queue and the job is listed.  Checked the print log on the printer and it isn't listed.  Is there a different driver I should be using for this configuration?

    You may not have a choice as to what driver you can use. If the ADV C5045 only has the default UFR2 printer kit, then you will have to use the UFR2 driver - which is what you are using now. If you can access the copier, press the Counter Check button on the control panel. Then on the display you will see an entry labelled Check Device Configuration. Select this and scroll down through the pages. You are looking for an entry called PS. If you see it then the Canon does have the optional Postscript printer kit enabled and this will let you use an alternate driver. One suggestion would be to create the printer again using the same setting that you have done already but this time select the Generic Postscript driver included with the OS rather than use the Canon driver. This will help to determine if the driver is the cause.
    If there is no PS option you will have to use the UFR2 driver and this could be the problem, as the Canon drivers don't always work well on a Mac via a Windows share. As a test, are you able to create a print queue directly to the Canon rather than via the Windows share? If you can, then this will let you check if the driver currently installed will work, as there can be settings on the copier that can block/stop you from printing. Assuming that you can print to the Canon with a direct connection from the Mac, then we can work on getting the printing via the shared queue. But if it doesn't print directly from the Mac, then it confirms that it may not be the server and more to do with the copier.

  • Remote desktop connection from windows computer to TC

    hi all,
    what I have: I have a TC 2TB, bought it three months ago.
    what I did: I have set it up at home. Using as base station for all my devices, iphone 4, ipad 2, macbook air and also other laptop. My TC is connected to ADSL modem with an ethernet cable (as expected). with port forwarding option of ADSL modem (in NAT Properties), I managed to forward any connection to TC. I have a static IP by the way.
    what I can do: from work or anywhere else other than my home network, I can connect to my static IP (via "Connect to Server" option in any mac device), it pops up a user name and password window, I login with my TC user name and decive password. In an instant my TC disk is mounted on my desktop, and I can reach all my files in it as if it is an external hard disk.
    what I cannot do: from a windows computer outside my network, I cannot connect to TC. I try to do this through "Remote Desktop Connection". Is this possible? If so how? Is this a problem related to network connection or TC settings?

    You cannot remote desktop into a TC..
    In fact you cannot remote access a TC from windows.. sorry.. but SMB protocol is blocked on the internet.. there are work arounds but no security.. don't do it.
    The only other protocol the TC offers is AFP.. there is no AFP file access software available for windows. You need to use a Mac.
    The best alternative is vpn.. replace your current adsl modem router with a vpn one.. eg draytek.. then you can access your home network. Since I presume when you say you have static ip you mean public IP then vpn is easy (well once setup it is).. reliable and secure.

  • Problem Connecting a Windows Computer to Our Domain

    I'm trying to connect a windows XP pro computer to a domain. There is an OD replica on the same subnet set as a Backup Domain Controller. The OD master is on a different subnet, it is set as a Primary Domain Controller.
    The error I'm getting is:
    The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "DN":
    The Specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.
    If I turn the backup domain controller off the error pops up as soon as I try to join the domain. If the backup domain controller is running a login prompt pops up I enter the username and password and the error pops up after about 15 seconds.
    I've attempted to verify settings using: http://www.shellharbourd.det.nsw.edu.au/pdf/osxserver/080_win_osxdmn.pdf and everything looks correct.

    The Apple store will do this for you.
    You can call Apple support and they will help you do it.
    You can type "move itunes library from pc to mac" into the google search bar.

  • Connecting to windows computer

    Hello, i have turned on my file sharing thing on network preferences and i can locate and connect to my windows computer to save work but i cant locate my mac on my windows computer to view shared files.
    I do have shared folders setup
    I even tried to find the mac on my workgroup
    What do i do to find my mac on my WinXP computer?

    In your Sharing panel, did you go into "Options" and check the box for sharing via SMB?
    Then from XP you should be able to reach the Mac via //(ip# or DNS name)/
    and you should see the available shares.

  • Ipod stuck in lock mode and won't connect to Windows computer

    My Ipod is stuck on the lock position and won't connect to my computer when I plug it in. The hold switch moves back and forth just fine and it was working perfectly yesterday. It's the classic nano that's square. It's stuck on a song that I used as my alarm yesterday morning. I haven't turned it on since then and when I pushed the on switch, it went to the screen but then wouldn't do anything else. I've tried to hold down the menu and middle button while moving the hold switch, but it didn't work. Please help!

    I fixed it! I had to switch the hold button from on to off to on again and then held the menu and middle button down at the same time. It works just fine now!

  • How to connect a Windows computer to Base Station through Ethernet

    I use Road Runner to connect to the internet. My setup is like this.
    Roadrunner comes in to the cable modem. My cable runs from the modem to Airport Base Station. My MacBook Pro sees the base station fine and I'm accessing the internet wireless through Airport. All is well there.
    My wife has a PC running Windows XP. I put my Airport Extreme disk in the PC and it loaded the software.
    I have an ethernet cable plugged into the back of the PC running over to the Base Station to one of the ethernet ports. There is a green light beside the cable on the base station and also on the pc where the cable plugs into it - it blinks off and on on the PC.
    Yet, when I get on the PC, I cannot access the internet. As you can probably already guess, I'm not too saavy on the PC. I have restarted the PC and tried all I know to do, but I still can't connect to the internet. I'm sure I'm missing a setting.
    Can someone please "hold my hand" and walk me through how to set up the PC? I can't get very far on the PC going into Airport Utility because it says I don't have an internet connection.
    Please help! (And talk to me like you're talking to a rock . . )
    Thanks
    Reggie

    Check out the following iFelix article to see if it will help getting the Ethernet-connected PC to access the Internet: Connecting a XP PC to a Airport Network via the LAN port of the Airport Extreme Base Station

  • 58" Cloud TV...can no longer connect to Windows computer via MediaShare

    Have a Dell all in one and 58" Toshiba Cloud TV. Love the TV, but have had nothing but trouble with the MediaShare function. Sometimes it finds the computer on my network, sometimes not. Now won't at all for the last week. Have tried rebooting computer, TV, and wireless router. No effect. Dell is running Windows 8.1 and has file sharing and network discovery turned on.

    mcafee is a horrible piece of software along with norton the only reason they have tons of users is because they pay pc makers to preinstall it and most nonTech users just pay up after the 30days of free virus scanning

  • Connecting to Windows Computer via wireless network (Password issue)

    I have a wireless network set up at my house, and we all can see each other's shared computers, and the windows machines can connect to each other without a problem.. but my Mac cannot connect to them, but they can connect to me. When I goto "Connect to Server" it asks me for a username and password for the windows machine.. I don't know what to do from here!!! Please help, thanks a bunch

  • Can't connect to Windows computer

    I have been using Leopard for 2 years and in our office that is all XP or Vista machines. I have an Icon on my desktop that I have used for 2 years to connect to our Windows server, it no longer works.
    If I click Go/Connect To Server and select smb://server it tells me that connection failed the server does not exist or is unavailable. This has worked for 2 years, but after upgrading to Snow Leopard it doesn't.
    I can also no longer print to any of the Windows printers that are shared on the network that I used to print to.
    One other thing that may be the problem, when I upgraded to Snow Leopard, I also ordered an Airport Express Base Station, and now use that to connect to my local network instead of the linksys wi-fi, that I used to use.
    Not only can't I connect, I can no longer even see any windows shares in the finder.
    How can I get connected to my windows stuff?
    Kirk

    The news is not good, probably. First, seeing your shares in finder currently is at thing of the past. The best you should be able to do is to use connect to server > smb://...... After doing so, your Win share may occasionally may appear under shared in finder. Here are a few things to be sure of:
    Be sure SMB sharing is activated.
    Be sure you are in the same workgroup as the other machines, or whatever is appropriate, in your setting.
    Be sure things are shared properly on the Win machines.
    Try updating or reinstalling the printer drivers on your machine.
