Access Windows-Machine

Hello,
in my file browser for network I can access the domain that is running under win 2003. I can even see the pcs in the domain. When it comes to access a machine, solaris asks for username, domain and password. No matter which combination I try, I get no access. What do I have to enter here to get access?
Thx
Oliver

Go speak to your domain administrator.
You are seeing a domain coonfiguration (permissions) issue.
It has nothing to do with your Solaris.

Unable to change screen quality when accessing Window machine FROM my Mac

Hi there,
I've been playing around with a copy of Apple Remote Desktop 3.1 and I'm very happy with the results when connecting to a Mac Server from my MacBook. We have quite a slow line so I use the sceen adjuster on the top-right corner of the screen to make the remote screen black & white to speed up the connection. I have another server here which is Windows server running RealVNC. When I connect to that machine and try changing the screen quality to black & white, it does nothing Can anyone change the screen quality when connect to a Windows machine from a Mac running Remote Desktop? If so, could you tell me your setup please?

Accessing windows machine from mac on home network

Having serious file sharing issues...any help would be welcomed...
I have a hybrid wired / wireless home network with one powermac, one pc and several laptops.
The laptops are all networked wirelessly through a time capsule (and no problem at all).
The powermac is in the living room connected via a router to the wall socket which in turn is connected to a cisco router in the basement which in turn is connected to the att uverse network router.
The pc is connected to an output of the time capsule.
Both the powermac and pc both have perfect internet performance...
But neither machine can see the other...
I presume it's because they're both on different routers, but surely there must be a way to set up all the routers etc that they realize that they're on the same network and force them to be nice? I'm sure larger networks have this configuration all the time...
If you can point me to some detailed guides how to do this or maybe an old posting...(I've already search a couple hours) I'd be grateful...

You need to create a bridge between the two networks and then point the IP and DNS addresses created by the bridge to each of the client machines. In your case it is the PC and Mac. Once they have the same router address and their IP's are on the same network scanning "list", they will see each other. In order to make this work you need:
A bridge hardware device (http://z.about.com/d/compnetworking/1/0/H/3/linksys_wet54gv2-400.jpg)
A good amount of time to configure it properly
Best of luck and you may want to place the bridge in your home in the more central location where the laptops will be.

Error Code 0x80070035 shows when I try to Access Windows XP machine from Windows8/Windows7

Error Code 0x80070035 shows when I try to Access Windows XP machine from Windows8/Windows7. in my PC i m installed windows8 and used primary and secondary IP. Primary is used for Access my Domain/Internet and secondary IP is used for access my VPN and
there is no internet on VPN. VPN is only used for my Head Office Appication. After i give secondary IP to my windos8/windos7 PC the Active network status changed to private network and not able to acces windows XP machines. Please Advice...

Hi,
This error means that the Network path was not found. Was Windows XP locating in the same network as the secondary IP on Windows 8/7?
Please try the solution below. Use the IP address of the target computer, not the computer name.
1) Find out what the target computer's IP address is. It is desirable to give the target computer a static private IP address, for example, 192.168.1.10, so it does not change. Use the local windows help when sitting in front of the target computer
to do this if you don't know how.
2) When sitting in front of the Windows 7 computer you want to access the target computer from, open Windows Explorer and in the address bar type \\ followed by the target computer's static address, for example,\\192.168.1.10 and hit enter.
If the target computer uses username/password sharing, after a few seconds you will be prompted for credentials. Enter the same username and password employed to log on to the target computer when you are sitting in front of it.
The target computer will be added to the Windows 7 computer's Network list, appearing as an IP address instead of a computer name. Then you can access its shares just as if it were listed by name instead of by number.

Access Time Machine´s hidden files in Windows

Does anyone know how to access Time Machine´s hidden files in Windows? I tried using MacDrive v7... but in its help files... it says that the app itself (MacDrive) will not show files on a Mac-formatted drive, partion, volume, etc. if MAC OS X itself intentionally hides certain files. Confused?
If MAC OS X hides files in the Time Machine hard drive, MacDrive will hide them too.
I want to access some of my documents that are on my Time Machine external hard drive on my Windows computer.
Why? I took my Time Machine hard drive with me out of the country.

Are you anywhere near a place that sells Macs? If so, you might see if they will copy the files for you. A university might be another place to check to see if they have any Macs or anything running Unix and would be willing to help you out.

Accessing my Windows machine

I can not access my Windows XP Home Edition w/SP2machine.
I have activated 'Sharing' (in Internet & Network' in the System Preferences, by checking 'Windows Sharing' in the Services tab.
I can see my Windows computer. It shows the workgroup (which is 'Workgroup') and I enter my Windows username and password at the :SMB/CIFS File System Authentication' dialog box. When I enter the correct information I get the 'Select SMB/CFIS shared volume you want to connect to and clock on OK I then get a message saying:
'The alias "Dell" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found' and then I'm pretty much in an infinite loop.
What is the secret here?
Thanks.

Be sure you create a shared folder on the Windows machine, not just sharing the drive. Here are some articles that may help:

Connecting to Windows shares - fix Several users have been receiving the message "The Alias YOURSERVER could not be opened because the original item cannot be found" when trying to connect from a Mac running running Mac OS X 10.3.3 to Windows systems via the Finder.
MacFixIt reader Peter Monahan has found what appears to be a fix:
"Your Windows XP or Windows 2000 Computer must have at least One Shared Folder. Sharing only the Drive is not adequate in 10.3.3 If you do not have a shared folder (directory) then you will receive the "original item cannot be found" error when you attempt to connect from a Mac.
• Create a shared folder and double-check the Windows security privileges.
• If you want to share an entire Drive on a Windows XP or 2000 Computer, the share name must be Eight Characters or less (i.e. C_PETER or C_DRIVE) or you will not be able to view it or select it from the Finder drop down menu.
"In some cases you may need to delete the Windows Share and then establish a new share if you connect but can't see the contents of a drive. Once done and if you still have connectivity problems, either Restart the MAC, or delete the cached information by using the finder and selecting GO>>FOLDER and then type /var and hit enter. Then look in the "automount" folder and delete the folder called "network".
"Aliases now work as a result. Username and Password are now stored in Keychain. We can connect from finder in 10.3.3 to Windows Computers (as long as there is at least one shared folder). We can select aliases to load at start-up under System Preferences>>Accounts."

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).

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.

Time Machine Backup Trying to Access Windows Exchange

I have an iMac that used to have access to a Windows Exchange email account. That email account has now been deleted as it caused too many conflicts. However, when I now access Time Machine my iMac tries to reconnect to the old Exchange server with an old password and that locks me on the Exchange email account as I assume it keeps attempting multiple logins. Unfortunately I dont have control over the Exchange account so I have to have that reset everytime I use iMac Time Machine. Is there ay way around this? Many thanks

Older versions let windows machine access airtunes, 7.1 does not.on a PC

I have set the prefs. for Itunes 7.1 to send to my airport express properly (airtunes)and it does not work,I have tried many alternate settings, it doesn't even show up at the bottom of the library page. Uninstalled 7.1 and reinstalled itunes 4.5, Works with Itunes 4.5 on PC and on my 2 Macs' Itunes. This is a lap top with xp pro. Not a firewall issue either. Itunes 7.1 may work on a Mac but seems to have a lot of bugs for a windows machine. I expect better from Apple and this skcus (backwards). What really ticks me is the music store does no longer work with Itunes 4.5 and says to upgrade to 7.1
G4 tower,cube,and PC(laptop) Windows XP Pro This is about the PC laptop and airtunes
G4,cube,and PC Windows XP Pro This is a laptop

there's some info on what BonJour is and does on its download page:
Bonjour for Windows 1.0.3
iTunes for Windows basically uses a stripped-down internal version of BonJour for Airtunes and music sharing. so it's looking like a problem hitting some folks with the standalone BonJour and iTunes 7.1.0.59 on Windows.
if you don't use BonJour for printer discovery and whatnot a heck of a lot, we can run through how to disable the BonJour Service from loading on startup, if you like. (that's one of the workarounds we can use until the conflict gets properly sorted out.)

How can I use my airport extreme to connect a windows machine to the internet? I don't have the software disks anymore...

I no longer have any disks for my airport extreme (its pre-time capsule)... how can I connect my windows machine to it in order to get to the internet?

You can directly download the AirPort Utility for Windows from Apple Support here.
Once the AirPort Extreme is properly configured for Internet access you can connect your PC to the Extreme either by a wired or wireless connection.

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.

Is it possible to find the creation date of a CD/DVD burned on Mac OS 8.6 either on newer mac or Windows machine?

I am cataloguing lot of my old music and data cds/dvds. Some of these were created on my old Mac (OS 8.6). I was wondering if there was a way to check the metadata on these discs on my current Windows machine or on a Mac that I have at work to get this information. When I pop the CD and DVDs into the windows machine the dates that show up in the explorer window are actually older than the burn. I assume this is the CD creation date and not the burn date. It's not a huge deal, but it would help me delve deeper into nerd-dom!

One approach would be to have access to a Mac that can run the classic environment or has a pre OS X native installation. These should be able to read the files for dates of creation/modification. There is also SheepShaver that runs on OS X machines.

How do I hook up a G3 iBook to my home network with only Windows machines?

I'm completely ignorant of Apple technology but pretty good for a novice with Windows PC's. To help a family member with an iBook (Mac OS 10.3.9) back up a gazillion family photos (at least 3.2GB in the iPhoto Library), we want to connect his iBook to my home network with two Windows machines (one of which is connected via UBS to an external drive for backup). But before I just connect his iBook to an Ethernet port on my Westell modem+router, what should I know?
I need to know all the basics and all the steps, in as detailed a manner as you can stand to tell me.
And when it all looks good, what are the steps to copy the iPhoto Library to a designated spot on one of the Windows machines (or that external hard drive)?
By the way, this is the iBook:
Machine Model: iBook
CPU Type: PowerPC 750 (2.3)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 800 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 640 MB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.6.4f1
System Version: Mac OS X 10.3.9 (7W98)
Kernel Version: Darwin 7.9.0
Many thanks!

Hello,
When I got my first mac this ( http://macs.about.com/cs/tipstutorials/a/xposxsharing.htm ) article helped me enormously.
It's very easy to write to the disc once you've set up the network.
On the mac locate the iPhoto library (normally open finder and click on pictures).
Open another finder window and locate the windows PC on your network, then mount the folder to which you will back up the iPhoto library.
Drag the iPhoto library to this folder.
Wait.
Wait some more.
When the copy is complete check the images can be accessed from the PC.
Unmount the folder from the mac by dragging it to the trash.
Congratulations.
Beware though, if you're like me you'll find this apple thing adicitve!!!

Firefox no longer connects to internet on my mac, and windows machines, after v18. I've tried several solutions from Mozilla support and nothing works. Firefox can't even connect to Mozilla for updates. Firefox just sits on the default search page and attempts to connect to websites by typing URLs, or by clicking on the links on the default search page don't work.

You could try the following:
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.
Let us know if this fixed your problem!
