How do I share printing between mac and Vmware Fusion?

I am trying to print from mac and from Windows XP installed in a virtual machine via VMWare fusion on my IMac. If I am able to print from Mac then when I switch over to Fusion and try to print it errors stating the the printer is disconnected. If I disconnect the USB and reconnect then it will print. Same with mac if it is printing okay on Fusion and I try to print from mac it acts like it is printing but it is not sent to the printer, if I disconnect the USB and reconnect then it prints. Printer sharing and window sharing is on. Any suggestions?

I suggest you post your question on the Microsoft Mac Office forums as that's where the Office gurus hang out...

How do I share presentations between Mac and PC via email

I have a PowerPoint (2010) presentation that was created on a PC and want to share it via email with users who may be on Macs.
The catch is that it contains several "embedded" You Tube videos. The videos play on my PC, but not on my Mac (just a black screen). I understand this is because the presentation actually "links" to You Tube instead of "embedding" the videos, and the links don't survive when the presentation is opened in PowerPoint on the Mac.
I've updated the presentation in Powerpoint for Mac (2011) so it will play on both platforms by downloading the presentations from You Tube, converting them to MP4, and embedding the converted videos into the presentation. However, this results in a HUGE file sizes that can't be emailed (e.g., embedding ONE video bumped the file size from 2M to 17M). Plus, there may be copyright issues.
I've also imported the presentation into Keynote. There are a few formatting glitches, but the big problem is still the video. I get the following error message for each video during the import process: "Import Warning - The movie"/embed/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" couldn't be found.". Plus, I couldn't find any way of re-linking the videos in the Keynote version of the presentation.
I've also tried making a video of the presentation, but had problems with the "embedded" videos once again, and never got far enough to see if this would result in acceptable file sizes.
One other thing. The author does not want to put the presentation up on the web or some other shared facility for security/confidentiality reasons.
So, has anyone solved this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How to create shared folder between mac and windows

how to create shared folder between mac and windows

Us ean external drive formatted FAT32 or ExFat. Both OSx and Windows can read/write to the drive and both can use the same data files as long as you have a program that can open and save these files. For example, Word running both on OSx and on Windows will be able to work with the same document on the external drive.

How do I share files between Macs?

I have a new Mac running Lion. My wife has a MacBook running OS X 10.6.8.
How do I share files between the 2 machines. Her laptop shows up in my Finder and my Mac shows up in her Finder. We try to copy files and it looks like they are copied (using iPhoto export), but there is nothing there. When I try to browse her laptop from my Mac, I am told I don't have permission.
Is this something that can be done? I would like to think so.

Target disk mode is one way: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661
Another way:
Drop files in the user/Public Folder
Make changes in >Preferences>Sharing

Share files between Mac and Windows in same iMac with boot camp

Hello,
I am new in using Mac and recently I buy a IMac 24" model.
I used to use PC a long time with a lot of old document.
I want to install Windows XP with boot camp.
But I also want to share my documents, music, video files between Mac and Windows in same iMac.
How can I do this?
Thanks in advance,
Eric

Hi Eric and welcome to Discussions and the Apple world.
Mac OSX can read and write from Windows partitions (like the BootCamp Windows partition you are about to create) when using FAT32 as file system for Windows.
However with FAT32 you are limited to a partition size of 32GB.
Mac OSX can also read from Windows partitions that uses the NTFS file system, but it can not write to them unless you use a third-party helper like either Paragons NTFS for Mac http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ or NTFS-3G http://www.ntfs-3g.org/
Windows can not even see or use a Mac OSX partition without additional help by MacDrive http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/

Sharing a printer between mac and pc

I an trying to help my sister share her printer with both her new iMac running Snow Leopard and her old PC running XP. The PC is connected directly to an Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) because it has no wifi and her iMac is connected using the wifi. The printer is connected directly to the iMac with a USB cable. I have printer sharing turned on under system preferences on the Mac but I don't know how to find it once I get on the PC.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

Make sure that the Mac and the PC are both members of the same Workgroup or they won't see each other.

Share filing between Mac and Windows Vista

Hello,
I am trying to file share my iBook and Vista.
On my I book under Finder >>>Network>> I see my computer name "Computer-PC" but the icon is grayed out.
When I click on it it says:
The Alias "Computer-PC" Could not opened, because the original item cannot be found. Then it gives me 3 choices
Delete Alias, Fix Alias , OK
I hit OK it does nothing
I hit Fix Alias, Then it ask me to choose an item to open. I dont know what to open????
I do not want to Delete Alias.
Also I tried to connect Vista and it does see the IBook on the network, but then when I try to connect It asks for the user name and password of my iBook
I verified this by reading the support docs on the Apple website.
System Preference >>>Systems >>>Accounts >> verified and changed password.
Still no luck. Can someone give me some advice? Thanks!!

There are more than a few threads on the topic across the web; so I guess a search
would be in order and some sorting of results to enable a wise choice from them.
There's also the Apple Help built into OS X and some ideas present themselves.
Firewall changes would probably be necessary, and the Sharing (system preference)
panel has some access settings for some of this sort of thing.
(The closest I have been to sharing between a Windows machine and a Mac, is when
I let a few Windows machines mistakenly given to me to troubleshoot & repair, were
brought into my space and they temporarily shared a workbench. I found out what
was wrong with them (outside of the poor quality & shabby OS) -- and out they went!)

Can't share music between Mac and Pc

I'm not sure if this is the correct board for my problem?
Sure need some help here... I've tried everything!
In iTunes on the Mac, the shared music that's on the PC doesn't show up in my sourcelist.
Both computers are able to see and share other folders/files but I must have forgot something that would allow me to share my iTunes stuff. I've check the instructions on how to set up both sides... seems super simply... but it's not working.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks!

Yes, both are authorized.
I tried exporting the "Library" on the PC (that's where 95% of the tunes are) and imported them onto the Mac and only the tunes that are resident on the Mac show up in the imported list. It does show ALL the playlists but like I said, only those songs that are already resident on the Mac show up.

How to synchronise the fonts between mac and ipad in the keynote app?

I use Keynote on both Mac and iPad machines. Unfortunately, the font set in iPad is quite different than in Macbook and because of that, every presentation must be re-writen while changing the device. This is a bit annoyent and I cannot find the solution.

Only use fonts on your Mac that you know are available on the iPad.
