Mac OS 10 can't see files on HD coming from OS 9 and vice versa?

Hello, all! Got a TiBook 1Ghz with a 255 GB HD which I've partitioned in half, one for Tiger/OS 9 and one for Leopard. Problem: Any file placed on Vol 2 in OSX is invisible in OS 9 and vice versa, so one writes over the other. Vol 1 works fine. Tried reformatting, disk repair, DiskWarrior 9 and 10, re-installing all the operating systems. Suggestions? Thanks!

Hi, kennethfromtoronto & BGreg! I do know that OS 9 is not supported by Leopard, however I'm not talking about running 9 in Classic. This TiBook will run 9 by itself, but when I run OS 9 it is from Volume 1 which also has Tiger installed. I can boot from Tiger or from OS 9 from Volume 1 and they both run just fine.
The problem is that when do I boot from OS 9, it can't see the files on Volume 2 that were placed there under OS X Tiger. Conversely, when I run Tiger, the files I put on Vol 2 while running OS 9 are not visible. It's like I'm running a parallel universe. Unfortunately, this allows one system to overwrite whatever was put on the volume from the other system, and vice versa, with the net effect that I don't dare run OS 9 for fear of overwriting data on Volume 2.
Also when I do run Leopard from the second volume, it also cannot see any files on Volume 2 that were put there under OS 9.
Note that with Volume 1 there is no visibility problem, no matter which of the three systems is running. It happens with the second volume, whether it has an operating system installed on it or not.
Usually I am good at figuring this stuff out, but you see how confusing this is... My thinking is there might be a bug in the Apple formatting software? I used the Disk Utility from my external hard drive which runs Leopard.
Makes a good puzzle to solve, anyway... Thanks for the help!

4.0 layout files cant be read by 4.1 and vice versa?!?

I have just learned that all my videoTs folders that I have built in studio pro 4.0 cannot be formated in DVDSP 4.1 and vice versa. This is extremely frustrating and has limited the efficiency having both a G5 workstation and a Xeon workstation should yield.
Any one know why this is?

Can't see files/folders on server from windows

i'm not sure if this is related to the ACL issue (not being properly honored in Samba on Leopard), but i'll explain my problem and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction
i've set up file sharing with my server on several Macs and a couple of PCs without a problem, but on one PC, when i connect to the server, i can't see any folders at all on the server in the Explorer window. i also can't move files to the server as it tells me i don't have permissions. i am certain this is set up the same as the other PCs and ensured that the Windows user has file sharing enabled on my server.
please note that i'm fairly new to setting up a server so not too much jargon please!
cheers

The problem may be how the CD was formatted. Macs support ISO-9660 better than any other crossplatform format.
Recently Software Architects has improved UDF support on the Mac, though I have yet to test it to see how true their claim is:

Can't See Files in Folder Copied from External Hard Drive to Desktop

I recently purchased a Jobo Spectator (portable image tank for storing photos). When I connect it (USB) to my iMac I see it and can copy files to my desktop. If I copy an entire folder from the device to my desktop, Finder tells me it contains 0 files and I can't see any files in it. However, if I try to recopy one of the copied files from the Jobo to the folder, Finder tells me the file already exists there and asks if I want to replace it. If I then cancel the copy, all of my copied files show up in the folder. This behavior seems to be consistent. There is no Mac driver for the device. It doesn't look like I'm going to lose any files from this behavior but I find it frustrating.
Does anyone have a clue? Thanks.

A warm welcome to the forums Sue!
The Finder is a bit lackadaisical about updating itself, you can click back & forth enough times, closing folders, opening folders and eventually it'll be in touch, or you can try something like "A Better Finder Attributes", for it's "force the Finder to update stale information about your files" feature.

Possibly this would help too, but haven't tried it...

Can't see files burned to CD from windows machine

I'll keep it short.
CDROM burned on a windows PC has files that I want to view on my imac G4. When I put the CD into my mac, there are no files...only folders. If I do "get info" on the folders, they are all at zero KB. If I then take the CD to any windows PC, all of the files are viewable, and the folders show their true sizes. I can then put the files and folders on a USB drive, go back to the imac and see all of my files at that point. This has been tested thee times with the same result every time.
Any ideas?

Originating File Sharing Mini with Leopard G3 Beige and Vice Verse.

I guess a sub-heading of this would be connecting to the newest Mac from an older one.
Here is a problem: I can set up the G3 Beige (running Jaguar) as a file sharing server and very easily connect to it from the a Mac Mini by using top menu Go>Connect to server.
Where i run into what seems to be impossible is to do the same thing from the G3. Nothing seems to establish a connection. It is always rejected with a no connection error message.
Both machines are wirelessly connecting through a router. The mini with internal airport and the G3 beige using an external D-link bridge. Both work fine accessing the internet.
Main reason i wanted to do this is that my Shared Printer is on the Mini and i wanted to print something from the Beige to it.
Can anybody help, or am i attempting the impossible.

DEAR Grant Bennet-Adler: Thank you for your last reply. I'm not sure exactly what i did but I was able to connect. To answer your questions:
IP Addresses are similar. One is ...101 and the other is ...102.
My router uses DHCP.
What seemed to fix the problem was going to security>firewall on the MINI and checking
o Allow all incoming messages.
Not sure what ODS Agent.app is but it is highlighted as allow incoming vs blocked.
Both computers "allow personal file sharing"
On the G3 i was able to connect after a bit of trial and error: On the G3, when i "Connect to Server" i am presented with three choices of servers, one of which is the G3 itself--I wish the system wouldn't remember irrelevance.
One of the choices is OK and when i checkit i get the ID and Password Dialog--again for ID i am presented with the MINI's name and not my user (Admin) name.
Change that, type in the password and i am given a list of drives on the folder. That includes any opened from a .img.
After i open one i then see it on my desktop and can get into it.
One slight problem: Once into one, i can;t go back to "go to server" to open more. I get timeouts, error messages and other stuff. I have to start over. That also appears to be to include disconnecting the connection to the G3 server that gets set up on the MINI.
Regards:
p.s I hven't gotten into Shared Printer although i saw it did show up in the Firewall dialog.I think i have the Canon MP470 Software on the G3 as well as the Mini but i will have to check on it.
p.p.s. Next thing is to try X PostFacto on the G3 again to try to install a later OS; but this time not making the mistakes that totally messed it up the last time, last year, that i tried it.

Can I use my iPad charger to charge my iPhone and vice versa?? Will it cause any damage?

Hi
I have an iPhone 4S and iPad 2 and have been swapping the chargers about when charging. Now a friend tells me that this isn't good and I should use the specific charger for each. Firstly, is this right??
Secondly, I now no longer know which charger belongs to which product. Does anyone know the voltage for each?? (I live in the UK, not sure if this would make a difference).
Thirdly, I also have a MacBook Pro. Can I charge my iPhone and iPad from this without causing damage?
Thanks in advance
Ben

iPad charger: 10 or 12W (Apple uses Watts)
iPhone charger: 5W
The iPad charger looks larger than the iPhone one. Additionally, the iPad charger can be used with an extension cable, unlike the iPhone charger. You should notice that the iPad charger has a detachable plug.
It is more than safe to use an iPhone with an iPad charger. I don't recommend the other way around (using an iPad w/iPhone charger) but the iPad 2 doesn't syphon power like the iPad 3/4 do.

Garageband Files on Logic Express and vice versa

My daughter uses Logic Express at school (sorry, I don't know which version). She has been trying to do her homework on our eMac (OS 10.3.9) using Garageband 1 and her M-Audio midi/usb keyboard via USB.
Her teacher says that Garageband files should work fine with Logic Express and vice versa.
The problem is they don't. We have tried importing files, also saving in one programme and opening in the other - all to no avail.
Presumably we are doing something wrong somewhere. Does anyone know how to get Logic Express to use Garageband 1 files and vice versa, please?
One more point of information, she saves the files to a 'PikaOne Slim Flycase' 40gb Portable HD to take to school to use on an Apple Laptop type computer (Powerbook?). Both home and school machines appear to be working perfectly with this device.
She also has some software called 'Logic Hit Kit' but I don't think this is has anything to do with Logic Express. It's files do not work with Logic Express either

That is correct, and you still have your level
status, it just doesn't show. I read in The Lounge
(for level 4 & 5) that they were planning to return
the level status and custom icons to the forum. But
it has been a long time now, and they haven't. I miss
my custom icon
Yes, apparently they intend to at some point. But, they have more pressing things to attend to first, so it might be a while. I have discovered that there's a special forum about this.

You might want to make sure your credit card is listed in the billing information associated with your Apple ID (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918).
Also, to change the From name that appears when you address emails on and iOS device, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your iCloud email account, tap you iCloud account at the top, tap Mail at the bottom, then enter the name you want to use in the Name field at the top.
To change the From name on your Mac Mail, go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done. Then quit Mail on your Mac and re-open it. Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). Can open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done. Have repaired disc permissions. What next?

Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). CAN open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done yesterday or the day before (or maybe a Silverlight or an Acrobat one by accident?). Have repaired disc permissions. HHD name is still same as it always was. What next? Thanks
PS I'm not a great techie so assume I don't know what you're talking about!

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

Can't see files that are backedup

I have a G4 iMac that has both an internal (small) and external (large) drive that I use for data. I am using a time capsule to backup the whole system.
When I run Time Machine it appears to backup both disks, the log file shows both drives having many GBs of data being transferred without any errors.
However, when I go into the TM application, I can only see files that are on the internal drive. I can only see my external 'LaCie HFS' in the Now view, going back in time that drive is greyed out.
If I use the finder when the TC is mounted, I can traverse into 'Backup.backupdb/iMac/2009-08-074700' and I can see the 'LaCie HFS' folder and in it are all my backed up files.
I have looked through the FAQ and various postings but cannot find an answer.
The closest thing that I can see as being a potential problem is that my old internal drive uses an Apple Partition Map while my new external drive uses a GUID Partition Table.
Why would backupd created backups that Time Machine cannot see?

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
Try this: Open a Finder window and press ShiftCmdC (or select your computer name in the Finder Sidebar).
Then +Enter Time Machine.+
On the first Finder window in the "cascade," labelled Now, you'll see all the volumes currently attached to your Mac.
Select the Finder window for any backup, and you'll see a folder for each drive/volume that was backed-up, including any that are no longer connected. Navigate from there to whatever you're looking for.

Can't see files on NAS only Folders?

Strange question - I just had to do a data retrieval from a Windows 7 disk from a PC before I reinstalled the operating system. (my daughters form work, It crashed). I used a Hard Drive Docking Station to read the drive and stored them on my NAS (A Windows HP Server)using my iMac. I have a lot of my stuff there, When I copied the Folders I wanted they all showed up on the Server, but when I drilled down to see the files it was blank??? I thought for a minute that whatever had happened to the PC has deleted all the files but just to make sure I started up an older Windows Laptop I had abandoned a coupel years ago and connected to the NAS and in fact all the files within the folders are there. I never had this happen before and can't explain it. Is there any reason why when I view the Folder from a MAC that I can't see the files that were written on a PC but copied to the NAS by the MAC?
I know, dump the PC and get her a MAC. Trust me I've already told her that....

My Vista PC can ping my Mac but I can't see it in the network

I have a network consisting of one PC running Windows Vista Ultimate wired to a WRT300N V1 and a MacBook Pro hooked up wirelessly to the same router. The router is connected to a Cox cable modem. Both the PC and the Mac belong to the same workgroup named "workgroup". Both the PC and the Mac can communicate with the router on 192.168.1.1 and both have access to the internet through the router. My problem is that I can't network the PC and the Mac. I can ping the Mac and get response but the Mac can't ping the PC nor see it. Nor can the PC see the Mac in the network environment so file sharing is impossible. The PC and the Mac have IP:s 192.168.1.101 and 192.168.1.100 respectively and both have subnet 255.255.255.0. I have built many network, PC to PC and PC to Mac but never with Windows Vista and never had this problem.
Can anyone think of a solution?

When I connect my iPad to my new Mac Pro, I can't see my pictures

When I connect my iPad to my new Mac Pro, I can't see my pictures on iPhoto in Mac Pro under devices.I want to import my photos from iPad to Mac Book. Can you please help me?
Thanks and regards,

Oops ... You are correct. I misread your question. My sincere apologies. You want to import the photos from the iPad into iPhoto - not the other way around.
Connect the iPad to the Mac with the cable and launch iPhoto. Your iPad should appears under the devices heading in iPhoto - in the left sidebar - just like it does in iTunes. Click on the iPad name. Then you can import the photos.

I can see open tabs from my PC on my Mac, but I can't see open tabs from my Mac on my PC. Why?

I've set up Sync on my work PC and my home MacBook.
I can see open tabs from my PC while I'm on my Mac, but I can't see open tabs from my Mac while I'm on my PC. Why?

Here is what I am seeing on my Android device - at the top, a few options like History > Top Sites> Bookmarks>Reading List. Then, the search/address bar, then to the right of that, a square with the number "1" inside it, then 3 dots that, when chosen, give you the following options:
New Tab
New Private Tab
Request Desktop Site
Tools
Settings
Any thoughts on how I specifically sync my Desktop open tabs to my Android device so I can then see all my desktop open tabs on my phone?
Thanks!
