Airport Express to share printer with HP desktop and Macbook Pro?

How do I network my Mac Pro and HP desktop to use the same printer? Any details are never too small..Tks

Run the AirPort Admin Utility and make sure the AirPort Express has DHCP disabled. You should then be able to see computers on the ethernet portion of your network from the wireless portion.

I have a iMac Desktop and MacBook Pro laptop. I generate my work related files on both of these machines. What is the best way to keep the files in these machines synchronized?

I have a iMac Desktop and MacBook Pro laptop. I generate my work related files on both of these machines. After a few days or weeks, I have new files on some folders on either of the machines that is not on the other machine. What is the best way to keep the files in these machines synchronized?

How did you transfer the files to the iMac. If you exported the files out of the MB library using Kind = Current you should get the edited version. Any other option may not.
If you want to keep the two libraries "synced" any photos you want to move to the iMac should be added to an album, connect the two Mac with a LAN, Target Disk Mode, Transferring files between two computers using FireWire, with WiFi. and use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to copy that album from the MB library to iMac library. It will also copy the original and edited versions, keywords, titles, etc.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If home sharing isn't enabled on the Apple TV, you will need the aluminium remote that came with it to do so.

Integrating new ext HD with Time Capsule and MacBook pro

I just purchased a 4 TB Seagate Backup Plus that I’m looking to integrate with my mid-2009 MacBook Pro and 2 TB Time Capsule that I’m currently using to store my iTunes library (I know, bad move, one of the reasons for the new Seagate) and run my Time Machine backups. If I can use the TC only as an external HD and backup with Time Machine to the new Seagate I’m willing to do that. If I can’t, I understand the limitations of the larger capacity Seagate with the smaller TC. Probably won’t top 2 TB for a while so I’ll cross that > 2 TB of info bridge when I get to it and need a larger drive for Time Machine backups
The current plan is to move the iTunes library to the Seagate along with the new, and ever growing Aperture library (currently on the MB) while backing up both the MacBook and Seagate to the Time Capsule; unless I can switch them and use the TC as an ext HD and the Seagate for backups. How do I go about doing this? How do I answer the “Do you want to use this new drive with Time Machine” prompt being that I’m currently not planning on backing up to the Seagate but want to backup the Seagate up to the TC? Do I need to reformat the Seagate disc? Still figuring out how I want to configure the Aperture (which I’m still learning) library but I’d like to keep the mobility advantage of the laptop and use the internal HD for a working library and move the post-processed images to the Seagate for archival. I’ll be checking on the Aperture forum.
Thanks for any help to this incredibly newbie type question. There’s usually a similar, but not exact, answer to my questions on forums or the threads are a few years old, so figured it would be faster and more accurate to just ask.

I just purchased a 4 TB Seagate Backup Plus... If I can use the TC only as an external HD and backup with Time Machine to the new Seagate I’m willing to do that.
The Seagate Backup Plus portable drives are Time Machine compatible so you shouldn't have any issues backing up your MacBook Pro to this drive. You also shouldn't have any issues using the TC as an "external HD" if you actually meant "network" drive. That is, it will still be available on the network as a storage device.
The current plan is to move the iTunes library to the Seagate along with the new, and ever growing Aperture library (currently on the MB)...
That shouldn't be a problem.
...while backing up both the MacBook and Seagate to the Time Capsule
Backing up the MacBook Pro using Time Machine will not be an issue, but you will not be able to use Time Machine to back up the Time Capsule to the Seagate. It may still be possible to use some other back up solution for this.
How do I answer the “Do you want to use this new drive with Time Machine” prompt being that I’m currently not planning on backing up to the Seagate but want to backup the Seagate up to the TC?
At this point, just answer "No." You can always choose the Seagate as a Time Machine destination later via the Time Machine interface. Again, you CANNOT back up the Time Capsule to the Seagate with Time Machine.
Do I need to reformat the Seagate disc?
If you got the Mac version of this Seagate drive it is already properly formatted. However, if you got the PC version, you will need to reformat it for HFS+ in order for the TC to share it out properly. That means you will need to temporarily connect it to your Mac, via USB, and then, use the Disk Utility to format it.

Airport Express do not print with Epson RX500

I just bough a Airport express for our office. Everything works fine except that I have tried to print with our Epson RX500 printer and it doesn't seem to work. We have to Powerbook on 10.4.3 and although the computer seems to see the printer, we can't print? Could someone help us? Thakns

I am not familiar with this particular Epson model (I use an Epson CX4600) but I would suggest installing the printer directly to the Powerbook and make sure it prints there first. Check the Epson site for any updated drivers.
Once the printer is working hooked directly to the Powerbook, do an additional install (as a Bonjour printer).
That process has worked for me in the past.

Airport Utility 5.6 will no longer read Airport Express Configuration; no longer able to stream from MacBook Pro

I have an old airport express ( 1st one ever I think) up until today I was able to use it with iTunes and also Airfoil to stream music. Today I cannot stream music from my MacBook Pro 2008 ( OS X 10.8.3) Airfoil sees the Airport Express but cannot connect, iTunes see it, but will not connect. When I try to connect with Airfoil the error message is "Airfoil was unable to connect to the remote speaker "little fish". Please check the remote speaker and try again."
iTunes just tries to connect and then times out.
I have AU 5.6 in order to use the old AE. It sees the AE and give me a summary page. But if I try "manual set up" or the "continue" button - I get "reading the Airport Express configuration" and then eventually "An error occured while reading the configurarion. Make sure your Apple Wi-Fi base station is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-6753) "
I tried a soft reset, no help.
I tried a hard reset and I was able to see the new airport express and it allowed me to set it up again, then it restarted and everything was the same as before I reset.
I can stream to the Airport Express from my iPhone and my iPad
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong?

It appears that the printer is OK and is on the network. Eventually you may want to set a static IP address for it, but let's get things working first.
The first thing I would try would be to reset the printing system on all the problem Macs:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click the print queue area and select Reset Printing System.
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
If this does not do it there may be something going on with the router. I have a few ideas if this is required. Let me know.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

How do I share directories between my iMac and Macbook Pro?

Hi there,
I have a Macbook Pro (13 inch, Mid 2010, 8Gb RAM and 1Tb SSHD drive) and an iMac (2012 model, 8GB RAM, 1TB hard drive). Both run the most recent version of Yosemite.
At the moment I tend to use the iMac as the master computer, its the one I put new music on, new photos, etc. The Macbook I use when not at home but it obviously does not have anywhere near as much music or photos on it. It's annoying as I can't synch my iPhone with the Macbook without losing files that are on the iMac.
Is there a way that I can share the same directories for iTunes and iPhoto (And it's replacement Photos when it comes out). The ideal situation being that if I update one, it also updates the other.
Would having cloud storage be the answer? Then again would the Macbook have access to these directories if I'm not in range of WiFi?
Thanks!
J

I use iTunes Match ($25/year – not too expensive) and iCloud Photo Library for this. I sync my phone with the desktop computer, but I don't store all my music and photos on the phone because there's not anywhere near enough capacity.
All of your Apple devices can access these services.

Need router that works with G4 tower and macbook pro G5

Hi, all,
I work with a group of people and we share our computers when we work on a project. We use my G4 Quicksilver, currently hooked up to a D-Link router DI-524, rev. C. One of our group's laptop died and got a MacBook Pro with Leopard and installed Adobe CS3 (we are using CS2). Problem is the MAcBook Pro keeps losing it's connection, damaging files in Adobe. The router is not listed as compatible with the MacBook pro (same model, rev A is however) so I guess that is part of our problem. I am confused by the variety of products and want to make sure the local network we use functions better. I almost went for the Apple Extreme until I read about possibly needing an enabler. By the way, I am also having trouble with printer sharing, don't know if it is router related as I can most of the time get on line on the Pro and share files - its just that it cuts out unpredictably and causes trauma in the work flow. Since the G4 is the home base, I am posting here. Thanks

It sounds like you have at least two problems: reliable wifi connection and version control. The second one I can just say that when I was an engineer we had a separate software application that allowed collaborative work to be done on a project. It is quite complicated, but only one file could be opened and saved so that a person could do their thing on the file and then save it back to document central. The software would keep track of everything and make sure things were saved properly, etc. If disaster struck, you could still revert to the last version and not have to start over.
The unreliable connection is a fairly common problem. My wife's MacBook Pro is at the other end of the house. The path loss between her machine and the router is significant. Because the Pro has a built in antenna, it's not the best in the world for reception or transmission. I ended up putting a USB WIFI stick on her Mac. I also put it on the end of a USB cable so that I could hoist and move the stick around to get best performance. I'm not aware of any compatibility issues between Macs and routers, but my router is a plain Jane DLink 514 and my iMac, G4, PowerBook Pro, and my Windoz machine running Ubuntu on it are all happy. BTW, I also had to put a USB WiFi stick on the Windoz machine and with the constant internet updates I need for Ubuntu, the connection only occasionally is messed up.

Problem with Magic TrackPad and Macbook Pro

I just bought the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Magic TrackPad for my home desktop setup. I connect my Macbook Pro 13" (from august 2010) to a Dell U2410 screen.
Everything works perfectly for a while, but then the cursor starts jumping around on the screen when I use the Magic TrackPad. Now here comes the weird thing, if I open the lid on the Macbook just a few inches the jumping stops completely and the Magic TrackPad works perfectly again.
I have tried googling a bit and browsed these forums also - no luck finding a solution.
I have also tried connecting a USB mouse to the Macbook when the cursor started to jump around - no problem with the USB mouse. I have also tried a different Magic TrackPad that my friend also just have bought for his setup - same problem after a short time.
Everything is updated to the latest software and firmware.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I have the same problem with a Trackpad paired with a new Mac Mini just purchased in September. After a while, my trackpad also starts to exhibit behavior similar to those described by Hecro. The trackpad cursor feels frozen, or else it jumps around, often trying to stay away from or jump over any hyperlink in either text or graphic form on the page I am viewing.
I find that if I pick up the trackpad and hold it above my palm between my thumb on one side and my fingers on the other side — so there is no pressure on the clicking feet on the bottom of the trackpad — a "jumping" trackpad instantly becomes a "stable" trackpad. Put it back down on a surface and it starts jumping again.
Also, when it starts jumping or skipping, I also find that if I use one finger and bear down hard on the trackpad, it resumes being responsive.
I am filing a comment about this on Apple's feedback forum at www.apple.com/feedback at the advice of a Genius at the Apple Store at Cambridgeside in Cambridge, Massachusetts USA.

KVM switch one Cinema hd display (dvi) with macpro (dvi) and macbook pro (mini displayport)

I want to use a KVM switch to share one display with two computers.
Computer one is: MacPro 1,1 dual core 2.66 Ghz with two DVI ports.
Computer two is: MacBook Pro 4 core 2.66 GHz with one Mini Displayport.
Display is: Cinema HD Display with DVI connector.
To do that KVM switches only use (at least that is waht I found) one system either DVI or Mini Displayports
http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=3113
DVI --> KVM SWITCH<-- DVI
                     V
               DVI (monitor)
http://www.atlona.com/Atlona-2x1-Mini-DisplayPort-KVM-Switch.html
Mini Displayport (Macpro) --> KVM SWITCH <-- Mini Displayport (Macbookpro)
                                                         V
                                                 DVI (monitor)
However what I want is:
DVI (Macpro) --> KVM SWITHCH<-- Mini Displayport (Macbookpro)
                                       V
                              DVI(monitor)
I couldn't find an existing KVM switcher that does this.
Then there is the following solution
DVI (Macpro) --> KVM SWITCH <-- ADAPTER (Mini Displayport to DVI) <-- Mini Displayport (Macbookpro)
                                    V
                            DVI(monitor)
The question is: Will this work?
I've been told that adapter behind adapter never works. Hope someone can help with this before spending money on nothing.
Thanx David

Maybe you're right just try and see if I can return the stuff if it's not working.
I won't be using a higher resolution then 1920 x 1200 however I still would buy the adapter
Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng
for connecting macbookpro to KVM DVI switch.
However if there's still someone with experiencing the exact same thing I would be much obliged.

DVCPRO HD footage problems with Quicktime 10 and MacBook Pro

I am trying to open DVCPRO HD footage in Quicktime 10 on my computer and just get black screen with no video. Cannot get these files to play yet can get other ones to play, just not the DVCPRO HD footage shot with Panasonic P2 cards. I can play the same files in Quicktime 10 on other computers with Snow Lion and on my tower with Lion. These will just not work on my MacBook Pro 10.7.5 Everything is up to date. Can anybody trouble shoot this for me? HELP!

I have the same model as you with the same upgrades (8GB RAM, high-res screen) and began to experience similar problems around the same time as you. And like you, I managed to work around the problem with gfxCardStatus for awhile. It was less than ideal though, since my email client, for example, uses the discrete graphics card. After a week or two, the problem got worse and my computer became virtually unusable. The screen would start to flicker at the log-in prompt, forcing me to reboot again. I could only make it to my desktop 1 time out of 10, if that. The Apple Hardware Test (both regular and extended) revealed no problems. I removed some software that I had installed the day before the problem started on the off chance that was the cause, but still it continued. I also tried to boot with a Linux LiveCD to verify that it was, in fact, a hardware issue and not software related, but never managed.
Finally, I brought the machine into my local Apple reseller (there are no Apple Stores where I live) for repairs. It was easy enough to demonstrate the issue, and they ended up replacing the motherboard, since that's the only way to replace the discrete graphics card. The turnaround time was about a week. All covered under the standard warranty (I don't have AppleCare). I've had my computer back for a couple of days now, and it's been running smoothly. No problems with the screen, and I feel confident enough to remove gfxCardStatus.
I hope you've managed to solve your problem by now. Even if your computer passes the Genius Bar hardware diagnostic tool, surely you should be able to demonstrate the issue to the technician and they'll see something is clearly wrong.

Help - cannot stay connected: BT dun with Verizon Centro and Macbook Pro Leopard (Broadband access customer too)

Previously a Treo 770p user who enjoyed laptop freedom using Verizon's Broadband connect - never a problem. Now ready to throw the Centro out the window, as no amount of restarting, taking battery out, scripting changes etc. etc. etc. etc. works - everything I have tried disconnects me within seconds. Verizon of course does not support the Centro BT DUN with the Mac. But everything worked fine wiuth the Treo - why not the Centro? I am about ready to cancel my broadband access, or go back to the Treo - ugh. Not even the USB cable works with the Centro/MACbook Pro - then again it did not work with the Treo either, but the BTDUN did!
Ideas? Fixes?
Thanks.
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

and now, when i tried to check again my network preference below the airport tab is showing a message that
"my airport does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the internet!"
then after seconds it will goes back to the first message that
"airport has the self assigned IP address etc....."
i don't know whats going on now!
airport tab is not showing green color anyway! i'ts always in yellow!
i tried turning it on and off but nothing happen! HEEELLLLPP!!!!

Problem with Presonus Firebox and Macbook Pro

I own a Presonus Firebox firewire audio inteface, which seems to have a problem with bus power. If I plug in the the firebox using firewire, it is not seen by the OS, and the blue power light flashes faintly. If I then plug in the mains power cord, it works fine. If I then unplug the power cord, it STILL works fine.
This has me beat...if there isn't enough power from the firewire port, how come it manages to stay on after I unplug the mains?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
17" Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

FINALLY someone else has this problem. I was
beginning to feel like the only person in the world!
Thats why I posted as soon as I saw your comments. I was also glad to see I was not alone. I have contacted presonus via email about it. What is the easiest way to contact apple? By phone support? I want to get this problem recognized as high up the ladder as possible, and not have to go the through their usual protocol of trouble shooting that I know wont fix it (i.e. repair permissions, reset pram, ect...).
Also, another thing we should do is post it on presonus's message boards to flag other users with the problem and get this issue into the spotlight so it gets fixed. I thought I saw that presonus has message boards but I could not find them. Please post their link if you know it. MacFix it is another good place that will draw attention to this problem. We should also post there. In addition I am going to email a Mac podcast I listen to about this. I know the host has a 17" MBP. Does this issue effect using external hard drives without AC adapter as well? That way I could have him test this.
Thanks for the work around but I would not even dare attempt that kind of soldering and such do to lack of experience. I'd consider paying you to make me one if you know what your doing and your sure it wont negatively effect anything:)
