Access from a Windows Machine

I've bought a G5 PowerMac and passed my G4 to my wife so she can move over from her Windows machine. My old account still exists on the G4 (along with hers) and we've set up an account for her too on the G5.
From the windows machine, we can access my accounts on both G4 and G5 machines but we can't access hers on either! I'm convinced we're using the same format - just a different user name and password - but it gives the message that we do not have permission. Any ideas?

Hi Ed,
You need to use the port mapping feature of the Airport Extreme base station to forward the ports used by ARD/VNC to the Mac you want to connect to on your home network. Be aware that you can only forward the ports to one private IP address on your home network so you will be able to connect to only one machine.
This is from the Remote Desktop Manual.
If you want to use Remote Desktop from behind a NAT router to access computers beyond the NAT router, you need to set TCP and UDP port forwarding for ports 3283 and 5900 to your administrator computer. Similarly, if you wish to access a client computer that is behind a NAT router, you need to set the router to forward TCP and UDP ports 3283 and 5900 to the client computer you wish to access.

Problem accessing shared folders with SMB from a Windows machine

When I reboot my Macmini, I cant access the shared folders from any Windows machine. On the Windows machine, I'm being prompted for my password, but event re-entering my password does help to get access.
The workaround I found is to go to the MacOSX System Preferences, Sharing, File Sharing, Options, and to uncheck and re-check the checkbox Share file and folders using SMB (Windows). Then I can access again the shared forders from a Windows machine and I'm not re-prompted for my password.
This is quite trooblesome to do that everytime I reboot my Mac. Is anybody experiencing the same pb? Any idea to fix it?
Also, since Lion, I'm experiencing some connection interruption, especially when copying big files from my Mac to a Windows machine.

Yes that is basically the only workaround for this problem. By chance do you have a SSD installed in the Mini?
I had this problem on my MBP when I had a SSD installed. Problem goes away with the original drive or a Seagate XT series drive.
If you don't have a SSD installed the only other option is to Wipe the drive and reinstall and test (Make a TM backup first so you can restore if the problem continues with the clean Re-Install).

I am trying to import Firefox bookmarks from a Windows machine into Firefox on an Apple. I do not want to use Safari. How do I do this?

am trying to import Firefox bookmarks from a Windows machine into Firefox on an Apple. I do not want to use Safari. How do I do this?
I have, on my HP laptop, running XP Pro, using Firefox 4.0, went under bookmarks to show all bookmarks. A window opens up that says library. I then go to import and back up, and I choose export HTML. I then move this file over to my new Mac Pro. On my Mac Pro I also have Firefox 4.0. I go up under bookmarks, show all bookmarks, import HTML. It lets me browse and I find the file on the desktop, I select it then nothing happens. I am not interested in using Safari. I would like to continue using Firefox. However, as an experiment, I followed the same process except on my Apple computer I opened up Safari and tried to import in the Firefox bookmarks. It came up with an error saying the file could not be accessed. I then thought perhaps the file got corrupted, so I went back to my Windows Firefox and re-exported the bookmarks again. Same problem. So, am I creating the bookmarks incorrectly on my Windows machine?
Thanks,
Kent

Probably your Mac cannot understand the Windows html format, please try the following to see if it helps:
In your PC, export the bookmarks in html as you did in your post. After you have saved it, change the name of the file to “bookmarks.html” and save it again.
In your Mac, import the saved file as you posted.

Downloding DMG files from a Windows machine

Hi
Anyone know how I can download the DMG installations files if I'm accessing the site from a Windows machine? When I try to download a trial version, it attempts to download an exe file which as I understand it, won't work on the Mac. I am planning to download the files and install on another machine (Mac) which is isolated from the internet.
Thanks
Alessandro

Thanks for pointing me to that useful-looking guide. I'll have to go through it and see if I've followed the correct steps.
But, yes I'm using XP Professional and I know I've done this before. I had to re-install some Windows components on the Dell, and that's when I lost access and had to start over. I guess I should have kept notes from last time.
BTW... I just installed Leopard on one of my Macs and can't access the Dell at all from there... including the external F-drive that was no problem before. I suppose I should locate a Leopard forum for that, but if anything comes to mind, please let me know.

I brought my itunes library onto a mac from a windows machine and now i have two separate libraries. How can I merge them?

I moved to Mac from a Windows machine where I had downloaded all of my CDs into iTunes. When I got my Mac it only put my purchased items into my library. So I merged my windows library and it created a whole new user account with that on it. I now have two libraries and can only sync music with one account or I lose all of my imported CDs. Help! How do I merge them.

The easiest way is to get both computers on your home network and copy the files over the network. It's easier than you think
Check this earlier thread:
[How do I move my itunes library to new computer|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7937172&#7937172]
That thread mentions Target Disk Mode, which won't help moving from a PC to a Mac. But you can use file sharing to copy the files.
As the articles all say: don't forget to de-authorize your PC before you get rid of it.

DB performance is very slow from a WINDOWS machine

Hi,
We have written an application which contains a pkg that will write all the logs related to application in the form of a text file. We are using utl file operation to achieve the same. As of now I have 2 Setups. We have two IBM servers with similar configuration, one in which we have installed Windows server 2003 and the other with HP-UX. We have installed 11g version of DB In these two machines. The problem is with the performance of the application. The DB in Unix server takes less time for writing the log. For eg: it takes 10 secs to write 5MB log. But the same takes more than an hour from a Windows machine. I want to know whether the performance of the DB depends on the OS which we are operating from or else it depends on the parameters set for the DB? Kindly help me.
Thanks

Kindly help me.I did some testing a while back between windows and linux and the difference on properly configured windows and linux database servers (same hardware same db version) wasn't worth talking about (< 10% often less than 5%).
That said it's not clear what exactly you mean. If you mean that writing a 5mb file on a windows machine takes an hour, then yep something is badly wrong - most likely with the hardware. I suspect though that what you mean is that you do a bunch of database work and that takes an hour on one machine and 10s on the other. This is likely to be a problem amenable to response time analysis, that is to say talking your workload and tracing it with timing information to see where it is spending the time. As you say it is your package, you will also be able to (and should) instrument your own code to see where the time is spent.
given the huge difference, you may well also find that statspack/awr will spit out your offending processes quite well as well.

How do i combine iTunes libraries ? from old Windows machine to my Mac?

Hi there...I have an expiring Windows machine where my kids first sync'd their iPods....That machine is dying and i want to bring those songs (hundreds!) to my Mac computer....But I already have lots of music on my Mac....every time my kids have tried connecting their iPods to the Mac it tells them that it will erase their music and install the music I have on the Mac....So...is there a way for me to add the music from the Windows machine to my Mac library? Or...since they each have an account on the Mac...can each account have its own iTunes where they could bring in their music? that way they could at least save the songs they have in their iPods. i know the music will not be transferred from the iPod to the Mac but I have backup diskettes I made on the windows machine. Can i use those? I am hoping I do not lose all that music ($$$)

How do I delete itunes library and move library from old windows machine to

My daughter bought a new macbook and would like to move her itunes library from the windows machine to the mac. I copied it to the mac and moved the existing itunes folder to the trash. By the way, she got 3 free downloads from Apple and they were in the library I moved to the trash bin. I then moved the backup folder to the location of the itunes folder I had deleted. When I open itunes, it sees the 3 songs in the deleted folder. How do I get itunes to recognoze the new itunes folder?

Thank you. As I understand it, if the original iTunes folder had never been populated, we would have been able to move the library exported from Windows into iTunes and preserve the playlists. Because my daughter downloaded 3 songs she does not even like, we have no way of preserving playlists? There must be some way to remove all connections to the first library. Is it possible remove the iTunes application and then either re-install it from the original disks or else download it. I know you can download iTunes for Windows, not sure if it is there for Macs. My guess is that if she starts itunes from scratch, there would be no references to the intial DB and we could then move in the folder from Windows without a problem.

Downloading Updates from a Window Machine

Apple is quite helpful in checking the machine from which you are attempting a download, however, for those of us on dialup at home, we come to work where a fast connection exists, usually through a windows machine. Attempting to download and save an update takes us to a windows only option, only (XP or Vista options).
There used to be a 'mac' button at the bottom of the page which is now gone. Pretty irritating. Unless the update is a mac-only application, you are pretty much out of luck.
Any ideas on how to obtain a mac download on a windows machine???

Thanks for the reply. Attempting to download from the Apple site. Even did a search for Safari 3.1.2 mac, came upon part of the apple site actually discussing the version for tiger. Clicked on it and it took me to the windows version.
That is exactly what I do (download to a flash drive and install at home). Problem is that when there is a windows version and a mac version, the windows version (from a windows machine) is the ONLY option for download presented. Downloading a mac-only version (Security updates and so on) is no problem. Saved to flash drive and installed with no problems.
In times past, there was a small link posted to the download page giving the option to go to the mac version. That link has now disappeared, and you are left with either downloading a windows version, no download, or downloading an 80MB file on dialup.
If apple would re-install the mac version option, that would solve my problem.

Can I move adobe cs4 from my windows machine to my new mac mini?

can I move adobe cs4 from my windows machine to my new mac mini?

Short answer is now. Any app that was developed on
for Windows will not run on OSX and visa versa.
However, You can create a Windows environment on
a Mac by 2 methods. The first, create a dual boot
machine using Bootcamp and install Windows on a
seperate partion and then select which operating system
to boot into. The second is using virtual machine products
such as VMware Fusion or Parallels Desktop Mac. You
basically create a virtual Windows environment that
runs along side and concurrent with OSX.
Not sure how well this second approach will work with
any CS4 app, as they tend to be quite resource intensive.

Upgrading my work PC is NOT an option, but I'd like my Mac to be able to recognise the attachment for what it is
Let see, you are using a proprietary file format that is only supposed to work with Outlook. It doesn't work for millions of Windows or Mac or Linux email users that depend on other email programs like Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, webmail, etc.
Microsoft has had to publish instructions so that their program's users can make themselves compatible with the rest of the world.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290809
You are causing your own problem by not making a simple change in your program's options. Changes in the Outlook preferences can be made either Globally or by the Recipient.
Follow these steps in Outlook 2007 to turn off TNEF:
1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click the Mail Format tab.
3. In the Compose in this message format box, click Plain Text or HTML, and then click OK.
Don't know of a better way to fix this problem for everyone concerned. Even if you get the fix to work with your machine, you will not enable all of the people receiving your emails to be able to work with you. That's a losing battle that's been caused by Microsoft.
Now if Microsoft created a Mail plugin for other email programs like they do for their video format's and services (flip4mac, Office Live Plugin, etc), then I would consider using their email program to deal with my clients. Until then, I need to be compatible with many different programs in other countries, on different platforms. Maybe that's going to change when they bring out the new Office 2011 with Outlook for the Mac...

Stop iMac from seeing Windows machines on wireless network

Here's a conundrum!
Brand new iMacs from 10.5.8 - all see Windows XP machines in the shared panel on the finder windows. We need to turn this off as the new macs are on a school network. They need to be on the wireless for internet, but they can't see the office machines for obvious reasons. The sharing is turned off on the Macs and Bonjour is disabled on the windows machines so why can we still see and access the windows computers. Can anyone tell me how to stop our macs seeing the windows machines. The
windows machines still need to be on the network btw as the office needs to have the two windows machines connected to each other. The macs dont need to see any computers so how do i turn it off.

Our solution was to have a separate students' network with its own wireless hubs.
In our school we have a server configured to keep the office and the students' networks separate.
We then have wireless hubs for students and wireless hubs for staff.
In this way the computers are not on the same network, and this should also make it more difficult.
for students to hack into admin computers.
You should be thankful that this iMac made you realized how vulnerable your networked XP computers actually are, and that, at this point, they are still visible to hackers.

Oracle E-Business Suite access from the Host machine

Hellow,
Please, after installing E-Business Suite and going through Post-configuration details, I would like to get access of my applications portal from the host system.
I have tried several ways of doing that and would not know the steps to follow in order to access the portal directly from the physical host machine.
I took the normal steps as when configuring end users and can ping the virtual machine from the Host system but can't do the same form the virtual machine of the host machine.
I can ping another server and other machines int he same network but not the one on which the virtual machine is installed.

Hi,
I am confused first clear what is hostmachine and what is virtual machine.....
call the machine which will access the application on virtual machine as CLIENT
call the machine which is hosting the virtual machine a VIRTUAL MACHINE HOST
call virtual machine as VIRTUAL MACHINE
You mean I should change my host IP? It has so many applications using that localhost name.Is ther any setting done in the network and have you ever accessed an application installed on Virtual machine from the host machine?>
changing of ip doesnt have any impact if ur applications are using hostname..if they are using ip then there is a issue,Yes i have acces EBIZ installed on virtula machine many times.
And if ur working in a organization then ask ur network admins to check whats the issue..may be some were firewall issue also ..thats why i asked u to chnage ip.

Are you using JDeveloper? If yes then go to File|New->Snippets

Build 9879 - Need to restart Win 10 if remotely logged on from other windows machine

Hi,
Installed Win 10 32 bit Build 9879. I remotely logon to the Win 10 machine without any problem from my laptop. The problem comes when I try log in from Win 10 machine itself (i.e. which has Win 10 installed). No password screen... only black screen
with a mouse.
Work around is to do remote log on to Win 10 and restart the system.
Is anyone faced similar problem ? How to resolve it ?
Thanks,
Mukul

Hi Mukul,
It sounds like you have a log on issue, right?
Based on my understanding, when the Windows 10 9879 starts, you can remotely login from other PCs, but you have a native login issue.
If I misunderstand your meaning, please feel free to let me know about it.
If there is no password screen, I would suspect this is a corrupted installation. You can remotely launch the system recovery to perform a Refresh:
