Move (or access) Aperture library to new mac from other mac (over the air)

I had Aperture 1.5.6 on my iMac. I upgraded to snow leopard and now Aperture will not work. Apple says the old version does not work with the new. Now I cant get to any of my pics. So I loaded my copy of Aperture on my Macbook air which still has leopard. No probs with the install but I cant move my library. I can see the Aperture library file on the iMac over the air from my macbook. I want to either import over the air or access over the air. I tried to chance the location of the library in aperture on my MBA but when I drilled down to the library on my iMac it said "not writable". I "got info" to make sure my MBA had read and write permissions for all the files on my Imac (and it does) but still no joy. Any help?
Matt

You can't access it "over the air." Aperture cannot edit a library over a network share point.
Copy the library to the MacBook Air and you can use it from there.

Can u boot from a Mac in target disk mode

I'm wanting to know if I put a Mac mini in target disk mode, can I boot from that Mac mini from my MacBook Pro. I'm wanting to set up a mini as a server but it may have to be the basic and ill install server on it but I prefer to do it without using a monitor. I'm curious to know if its possible.

You don't need a monitor with the MM, and neither boot in Target Mode. Like me, use screen sharing for remote access over the network:
On the MM, -> System Preferences -> Sharing, there check Remote Management and choose which user, if not all, may have access. If you're not the only one, you can limit access for each user under Options.
Under -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver, it makes sense to check Wake for network access.
Then you can log out from the MM, leave it sitting at the login screen and turn off or disconnect its screen.
On the remote Mac, open Finder and find the MM under Shared. Click in it, then on Share Screen. You'll need to enter the login credentials for your account on the MM, eventually save it to your Keychain. Then your MM's login screen should appear in a window on your remote Mac. You have now full access to the MM.

Booting from another mac using late 2009 13" macbook?

can this be done? apple made it INCREDIBLY hard to do anything regarding file sharing or alternative booting on this macbook by not having a firewire port and not having target disk mode. i honestly dont know what they were thinking, however, is there a way to boot from another mac (that does have firewire and target disk mode) on the new one?

Target Disk Mode only works via Firewire. About the only option you have is to remove the hard drive from the other Mac and put it into a USB enclosure, then use it for booting. Do keep in mind that this could cause issues as that other hard drive won't necessarily have the correct drivers.
If you wanted to use a different part of the computer, such as the optical drive, you probably need to get an external drive.

Can you access time capsule from a mac over the internet

Can you access time capsule from a mac over the internet?

Yes. See this thread about how to access the disk attached to a Time Capsule. Access to the Time Capsule itself can be done similarly.

How can I stream Pandora from my Mac to Airport Express?

How can I stream Pandora radio from my Mac to Airport Express?

To stream audio from your Mac you need an app such as Airfoil by Rogue Amoeba Software.
You can also stream Pandora directly to speakers connected to your AirPort Express with the Pandora Radio app on your iOS device:

Wake another mac over airport

is it possible to wake a sleeping mac over airport to enable file sharing etc, possibly with 'remote desktop' which ive just started using, [without much success so far to be honest]. i've heard it isnt possible, only with a wired ethernet connection. It would be so useful and convenient if it was possible to both wake and sleep my other mac via my laptop over airport.
in the systems prefs, under energy saver theres an option to 'wake when the modem detects a ring'.what does this mean, and could this be used as a workaround to wake the other mac remotely? how do i call the macs modem anyway?

Sorry but that is not possible.

Booting from OS 9 over Mac OS 10.4.11

Hi all
I have a G4 PPC 1.4 Ghz, 2GB ram, running OSX 10.4.11... I have Copied a OS 9 System Folder from another system in the HD.. (that System is also running 10.4.11 & can also Boot from OS 9 via System preferences)... the OS 9 on my System is running perfectly on OSX 10.4 but i cannot boot from it... it is not even in the list of Startup Disks...
what am i missing ???? any preference????

If you have a suitable amount of partitioned free space on
the second computer you have, it may be possible to make
a clone of the system off the drive from the older Mac to
the newer one (only for transfer purposes) and then hope
to clone it back into the suspect computer's drive after you
wipe that machine's hard disk drive & install OS9 drivers.
Or try some other scheme involving clones & drive swapping.
Be sure the formatting remains correct on the older Mac that
is to see the OS9.2 system along with OS X 10.4; since an
OS X Intel Mac uses different formatting on a hard disk drive
as well as a different series of hard drive... SATA vs PATA.
If the drive had the correct drivers and the OS9 system was
not bootable (but should have been otherwise) the need to
re-bless the system folder would be valid.
Good luck & happy computing!

How to boot from other device??

hey...
i recall that i have read that it is posible to boot an ibook from another device sutch as anoter mac or even from a ipod... can annyone explain how that works?? or know of an artitcle where i can read more about this??

If you want to boot from an external drive, it must have a boot volume with a version of the Mac OS installed on it which is compatible with the firmware of the computer you are wanting to boot. If the external drive has such a boot volume, you can connect it and use Startup Manager to select its boot volume as your startup disk.
If you have another Mac with FireWire, you can use FireWire Target Disk Mode to access the iBook's hard drive as an external drive on the other computer (or vice versa).

Can't access new MBP from other Macs on my network

I just got a new last-gen MBP running Leopard. All Apple updates are installed. I need to access it from two Macs on my network that are running Tiger (also with all current updates installed). Tiger-to-Tiger connections are running perfectly. And the new Mac accesses the Internet, networked printers and so on just fine.
Problem: While the MBP shows up in the other machines' Network Browser, they can't connect to it. And, while the MBP sees the other machines, all it can connect to is the account Public Folders (the entire volumes are set to share).
The new MBP was populated with data from my old PB G4 using Migration Assistant.
I've never had a problem like this. I've tried disabling the MBP Firewall, rebooting the network, rebooting all of my Macs, but still no luck.
I've searched the Discussions and didn't find any help in previous postings. Hopefully someone can help me now...
Thank you!

And the Leopard machine shows in each Tiger machine's network browser.
I've rebooted all of the machines at least once and rebooted my router and switch as well.
I've tried connecting to the Leopard machine by specifying its afp address.
None of this works. I guess I'll need to take advantage of my free 90 days of tech support and call Apple. In 20 years of owning Macs, I've never encountered anything like this. I still hope I don't need to reinstall the OS, but I'm getting very worried.
Thanks for all the suggestions; I'll keep checking back and will also post the solution if one is found.
I do not think it's an OS issue. At least one requiring a reinstall.
I just started my other MBP with Tiger. Takes a bit since it's booting via a FW400 pipe.
I will see if I can access this MBP from that one in a few minutes. Never did that - all my systems have been peers. (Booted faster than I expected.)
First I note that this Leopard box does not show up on the Tiger box.
Also "go" and browse does not show this box.
It worked but I had to enter this IP into the "connect to" on Tiger.
Required login and password.
Connected via afp and a window popped up with the volumes on this box to connect to.
Clicked this user account and there I was.
After that, this box showed up in the Finder sidebar.
So Tiger will connect to a Leopard box, but it seems that one needs to enter the IP of the Leopard box. If that does not work, then something is wrong.
Curiously, that Tiger box has not registered on this Leopard under Places.
Ah, I did not have filesharing on in the Tiger box. Turned it on and I can see it from here.
So I have bilateral network connections: Leopard here <-> Tiger there
Works for me, but that does not help you except to know that it should work.
BTW The Tiger version is 10.4.11.

Printer sharing problem: printer not found by other Macs over network

We have 2 iMacs and 1 PowerBook, all connected to network through a Belkin router. One of the iMacs has an Epson Stylus hardwired (USB) to it. Printer sharing is ON. In the past, the other two Macs found the printer over the network and printed fine. Recently, they can no longer find the Epson over the network, indeed, when we try to "add printer" in their Printer Utilities, they no longer find any printer at all. Why did it use to work and then stop for no apparent reason, no changes were made (except for occasional need to restart the router if we lost our connection)? What are we missing?

As you suggested, I repaired permissions in all my Macs. That helped; the other Macs could find the shared printer. Then later on I needed to shut off both the host iMac and the printer. When I turned them back on, once again the other 2 Macs couldn't find the printer?! Since I had just repaired permissions earlier in the day I didn't think it could be that again. Then, I printed one page from the hardwired host iMac, and voila!, right after that page printed the other two Macs could spot the shared printer over the network again. I'm glad they came back online, but wish I knew what the heck was going on?! Why would printing one page from the host bring the others back, and did the earlier repair of permissions really have anything to do with it??

Dead HD? Can't boot from other CDs, either. Help!

I'm looking at a white Macbook for a friend who may be sunk, but I want to check in with you lovely and talented folks to see if perhaps I've missed something.
The Macbook was shut down during a software update (presumably a power-button reset). Any attempt to boot normally after that results in the appearance of an icon of a folder with a question mark on it. I took that to mean that no valid System folder was found. I eventually got it to boot from the system install disc, but Disk Utility only showed the CD drive. No sign of a hard drive at all. I then attempted to boot from both Disk Warrior and Tech Tool discs, but they just spin in the drive for a while and are eventually rejected.
Based on other posts here, I've tried booting from those discs holding down the C key, the Option key or the Command key on various attempts. None of those variations force the machine to recognize or boot from those other two discs. Are there any other cool trick that would help?
My suspicion is that the hard drive is just dead. I'd love to be wrong about that, because I'm pretty sure this friend of mine doesn't have backups.
Thanks in advance for any help!

If *Disk Utility* does not show the hard drive at all, chances are that the drive is dead. There are other possibilities, however. One is a logic board problem preventing reading of the drive, another is an issue with the cable between the drive and the logic board.
The best possibility to recover the data on the drive is to remove it from the MacBook and put it in an enclosure designed for that type of drive, then see if another Mac can read the drive.
If this does not work, your friend will have to decide how much the data on that drive is worth to him. Data recovery companies such as [DriveSavers|www.drivesavers.com] are very good at getting the data back off of even badly damaged drives, but they are not cheap.
Best of luck.

G5 Tower won't boot from other hard drives

I have recently purchased a used G5 tower and cannot get it to boot from a second internal drive nor from external Firewire Drive - all running system 10.5.8. My G5's primary boot is a Western Digital Serial ATA on Bus A. On Bus B is a Samsung Serial ATA drive, and attached via FireWire is a Western Digital 1TB Mybook (with 3 partitions - one with system 10.5.8). When I go to System Prefs and choose Start-up disk, the Samsung on Bus B *does not appear* (although it shows up on my desktop). My FireWire WD shows as a Start-up drive, but when selected as my startup, and I reboot, the machine starts from the WD on Bus A again.
I've been with Macs ever since the 80's and served as system and network manager for all our units--installing, upgrading, and troubleshooting dozens of Macs in our unit. I'm now retired and this is the first time that I've encounter a problem like this. I've tried switching buses and jumpers but nothing seems to work.

Connecting to a pc from my mac via airport express wireless network

I have successfully been able to access my mac from my Windows XP machine via my AE wireless network that I set up with my Mac. However, I am unable to do the reverse. I.e. connect to my PC from my Mac.
There seem to be two issues I need to figure out to make this work:
1. Firstly, the option to allow sharing for any of my Windows folders has been restricted because apparently I need to create a network first but I have a network and both the PC and Mac can access the internet, share a printer and see each other via this network so I don't understand what's wrong. Do I have to create a network from the pc side of things as well in order for this to work?
2. When I attempt to connect to the pc from my mac I do the following from Finder: GO >> "Connect to Server" then I type in smb://<ip address of the pc>. When the dialogue comes up asking for "Workgroup/Domain", "Name" and "Password" comes up I know I have the correct workgroup and I know the pc is there because it's full name is displayed but I'm not sure what to enter as "Name" and "Password". I assumed it was the username and password for the windows user on the pc whose files/folders I want to access but then I'm told the connection can't be made because the name or password isn't correct. I tried every user name and password I could think of in these fields--even the accounts for my mac--but they all give me the same response.
I'd appreciate it if someone could someone lend a hand.
Joey

Sorry, I don't know which articles you have already reviewed.
Sharing folders on the PC should be nothing more than enabling "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" option under Network options & then identifying which folders you want to share.

Iweb access from other Macs

does anyone know how to access your own iweb site from another Mac ,say on another premisis,
we have iweb 06 on the Mac pro and want to acsess it and change pages from our Mac book pro
regards
the oakley blogger

You can as long as both Macs are running the same version of iWeb.
Your website information is in a domain file located in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
Copy this file and paste it into the equivalent location on the other mac. Double click this file to open iWeb. If the second Mac already has a domain file, you might want to drag it out into a new folder first to stop it being overwritten.
Every time you do any changes to a site on one Mac you have to refresh the domain file on the other.
If the computers are in different locations, you can make the transfer using a portable drive or by creating a ZIP of the domain file and emailing it.
