How do I share wifi data between iMac and windows based computer on wifi network?

I have an unsecured wifi network at home and need to easily share photos between computers>  I have an iMac and a couple window based computer> Is ther an easy way instead of using a thumb drive?

Since photos are typically large files it will probably be quicker with the thumb drive. The other way is to set up sharing where the files are located and directing the other computers to look there.

  • How to pass series of dates (between startdate and enddate) to subreport, which takes only one date as parameter

    Relatively new to Microsoft report services. I have created a report which takes a single parameter named 'SelectedDate'. This report runs fine (uses complex query of hours of the selected date and complex joins & aggregate calculations between SQL
    database tables). I created a new report with two parameters, namely, StartDate and EndDate. Also created a sql stored procedure which gives all dates between StartDate and EndDate. Added subreport to this report which calls my first report and defined 'SelectedDate'
    parameter to get the value as "=First(Fields!dt.Value, "DataSet1") - where dt is the resultset of procedure called in DataSet1. When I run this report, in the subreport, all I see is the report for 'StartDate' which is the passed
    value of the first parameter. I can't find a way to pass entire array of dates as parameter, to which user can browse forwards and backwards. Any idea? Thanks in advance for your help!

    HI Visakh16..Never mind my comment..I tried it again. This time I went to the completion of previewing..and noticed that the table with DataSet1 does display dates and first report underneath but once I click any other date, it displays the subreport on
    full page and navigation back arrow (with hint 'back to Parent Report) solution is not bad..so unless you a way to achieve my desired layout mentioned above - I am good for now! Thanks for your pointer in right direction!
    One small observation for thread readers: When I published the report to the report server, the back button (back to Parent Report) which was available to me at design time, is not displayed at client's browser. Upon checking pertinent threads, concluded
    that this is known issue for years and recommendation I concluded from various threads is: Use back button of browser and it should (& did) keep the parent report page, with table with selected dates intact. A few have noticed different behaviour
    for older browser versions. 

  • Share iMovie project between iMac and iPad?

    Is it possible to share and continue a iMovie project between a iMac and iPad?
    Or the share is only possible between iOS devices?

    In general the simplest way would be to store the document in iCloud, and use iCloud to access the document from both your iMac and iPad.
    But your post above says you're running Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.4).  Snow Leopard is now two years old.  I'm not sure it supports iCloud.

  • How to Set Up Network Between IMAC and Windows XP

    Hi
    I have a new Imac 27 inch in my study and a PC running Windows XP downstairs - I don't know how to set up the PC and when I phone apple support they could only tell me how to file share from the IMAC end - would be grateful for some help

    First of all, it is easier if your Windows user has a password, it may not be the case, if not, you should set one.
    Then check your firewall settings. if it is activated, go to your network connection's properties, choose the Exceptions tab, and check "File sharing" so that it will no longer be blocked.
    From now on, you should be able to connect to your computer from the finder.
    Choose Go > Connect to server
    Then in the address, type smb://ip.address.of.windows/ and OK
    after a short time, it will prompt you for your username and password, and you should be able to access your Windows resources.
    If your Mac and Windows are in the same workgroup (set in computer properties in Windows, and in Network properties in Mac) it will appear in any finder window side bar.

  • Networking between iMac and Windows / iTunes problem

    Hey Guys,
    I've recently got an iMac 27" i5 and I'm having a few issues with the networking performance. I'm using the gigabit ethernet port (AirPort is off) into a gigabit switch. Also plugged into the switch is a Windows Home Server (WHS) machine also with a gigabit connection.
    Both my iMac and WHS are showing on the switch as being connected at gigabit speeds. I also have Parallels 6 installed on my iMac so I can test the performance of Windows 7 on the same hardware (albeit with the overhead of the virtualisation layer). In parallels the networking is bridged onto the default adaptor rather than being shared.
    iMac file copy
    iMac ftp from WHS 4.81 MiB/s
    iMac Parallels Windows 7 ftp from WHS 4.5 MiB/s
    I also have constant problems with iTunes locking up, hanging, showing the spinning wheel (all my media is on the WHS machine).
    Does this sound correct or should I be getting better performance than this?
    Thanks
    James

  • How do i share a calendar between iphone and ipad

    I have an iPad 1 and my wife has an iPhone4.  Both devices are running iOS5.01.  I want to share the calendars so that we can both see each others' calendars.  In iCloud we are using the same Apple ID for both devices to facilitate a storage account.
    Calendars are turned on in iCloud in each device.  The iPhone can see calendar entries from the iPad but the iPad does not see calendar entries from the iPhone.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?
    When I go into iCloud Calendars are ON for both devices.  But how does this relate to calendars in Settings-Mail, Contacts and Calendars that are listed under iCloud and also under all email accounts on the device.
    Am I the only one who finds this very confusing?

    A couple of more points.  When I log into icloud.com I only see the iPad calendar entries, not the iPhone entries.
    Is the calendar tied to the Apple ID to an email address or what?  The iPhone did have a Mobile Me account but I deleted that since it wasn't being used and that didn't change anything.
    Note that Photo Stream is turned on and works perfectly between both devices and also Windows PC.

  • How do I share my printer between my two Windows 7 systems?

    Some users find that they have a non-networked printer that worked fine in a mixed Windows environment, but found their two Windows 7 printers (one host and one client) are not able to share the printer.
    Windows 7 handles networking differently than previous versions of Windows.
    The easiest way to get started with sharing printers between multiple Windows 7 computers is to setup a HomeGroup.  A HomeGroup is a way to authorize different Windows 7 computers to talk to each other and share resources.  Microsoft has a good article about HomeGroups that has links to various guides.
    Once the HomeGroup is setup, the next step is to setup a host for the USB printer.
    This article from Microsoft details how to enable file and printer sharing, sharing the printer, and the basic steps of adding the printer.
    The first two sections are fine as they are, but I would like to expand on adding a shared printer to the other Windows 7 computers.  
    This process tends to have the greatest success with sharing printers in Windows 7.  Most USB only printers do have a driver available in Windows.
    1.  Go to Start>Devices and Printers.
    2.  Click on Add a printer at the top.
    3.  While it is a networked printer, it is not the current network standard printer.  Select Add a local printer.
    4.  Select Create a new port with a local port for type.
    5.  Enter \\<host computer name>\<printer name> without the < > symbols.  The host computer name is the name of the computer that has the printer attached to it.  If you do not know that name, go to the host computer and go to Start>Right-click Computer>Properties.  The computer name will be listed here.  The printer's share name was selected in a previous step in the Microsoft article.
    6.  Click Ok and the printer driver screen will appear.  Click on Windows Update to ensure it is the most current list.
    7.  Select the printer model from that list.
    8.  Follow the rest of the prompts.
    At the end of these steps, the printer should be shared from the host computer to the other Windows 7 computers. 
    Some important notes about this setup:
    1.  Only printing will be functional.
    2.  The host computer must be on for printing to work.
    3.  The host computer could enter standby or suspended mode.  This will interrupt the shared printer on the other systems.
    With these steps completed, the printer should be functional on the Windows 7 computers once again.

    I have loaded by iphone apps onto my ioad but the game levels have not been saved.  Is there a way (easy) to share the games i.e. Angry Birs and others between the two devices?

    Some games provide for cross-device syncronization, some do not. For example, Words With Friends syncs across devices; Angry Birds does not.

  • How can we share session information between browser and WebView

    Hi
    I have a web application which launches a instance of JavaFX web view on a click of a button. My issue is that when i launch this web view it creates a  new session of its own ,how can you transfer the session information of the parent (browser) to the web view.
    One of the solution i found was to add the JSESSION_ID cookie into the default(System-wide) cookie handler so it would override the existing cookie within the WebView cookiehandler.
    http headers - Setting a cookie using JavaFX&amp;#39;s WebEngine/WebView - Stack Overflow
    Are there any other solution for sharing session information between the web view instance and browser that launches it ?

    O.K. then, is it at least possible to access a wwsto_api_session
    from Java in the following way?
    Calling PL/SQL from Java
    JDBC and SQLJ allow you to call PL/SQL stored functions and
    procedures. For example, suppose you want to call the following
    stored function, which returns
    the balance of a specified bank account:
    FUNCTION balance (acct_id NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER IS
    acct_bal NUMBER;
    BEGIN
    SELECT bal INTO acct_bal FROM accts
    WHERE acct_no = acct_id;
    RETURN acct_bal;
    END;
    From a JDBC program, your call to the function balance might look
    like this:
    CallableStatement cstmt = conn.prepareCall("{? = CALL balance(?)}");
    cstmt.registerOutParameter(1, Types.FLOAT);
    cstmt.setInt(2, acctNo);
    cstmt.executeUpdate();
    float acctBal = cstmt.getFloat(1);

  • How can I share autocomplete lists between sheets and/or files?

    I'm drafting up a P&L spreadsheet in which I keep lists of categories, vendors, etc. I'd like to keep separate sheets for each month; the problem is that once I start a new sheet, Numbers seems to "forget" the vendor names, and I have to reenter the entire name again instead of the first three letters or so... I think for obvious reasons I don't want to put a whole year of order records on a single sheet ;-)
    Is there a way to preserve or export lists of field values so that they can be shared between sheets (or even files?)

    Appreciate the answer Wayne, although it wasn't the one I wanted to read... I had already embedded a hidden list in *every* table in each sheet; needless to say it didn't improve the performance one bit.
    Turns out that the lists aren't shared between tables either (same heading, same column) that I used to create expandable categories. Would be a nice feature to recognize a column heading and propagate the autocomplete lists, and maybe even be able to link these across tables, sheets *and* files!
    Probably too late for iWork '12 ('13, '14?) , but I filed an enhancement request to be able to refer to "file foo, sheet C, table 3" column contents.

  • Share external disk between Mac and Windows

    I know this topic crops up a lot, but nobody has given a clear and simple explanation of how to do this.
    I have a Lacie external USB/FW disk, and just want to be able to plug it into my mac or my customer's windows machines, and copy files back and forth. Simple!
    Which partitioning scheme should I set up, and how should I set up the disk using Disk Util?
    Cheers

    Hi,
    Would I still be able to create Extended/Journaled partitions on it to use with SuperDuper in making bootable backups of my main iMac disk? Cheers for the help!
    not while using the MBR partition scheme.
    For bootable OSX clones/partitions you have to use GPT (GUID partition table), which on the other hand can prevent the usage of the harddisk with PCs.
    When you restrict the usage of the external HD to your Mac (with propably using BootCamp Windows) then GPT isn't usually an issue, but when switching the HD between your Mac and a Windows PC, then it can happen, that the PC is not able to see/use the partitions on the HD.
    I have two external HDs which I only use with my Macs. Both are using GPT and have two partitions on them, one for bootable OSX clone and one with FAT32 for storage.
    I have no problem with them as long as they are connected to my Macs, but when I attach them to a Windows PC, then Windows only sees one GPT partition.

    i have one imac. my wife and i each have our own user accounts and itunes library.  How do we share selected music between user accounts?

    To give other users read-only access to your library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
    If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.
