Can I network OSX with an OS 8.6 (G3) ?

Hi and hope you folks can offer some advice.
I have a small office and recording studio. We
use multiple macs. My office one is a Beige G3 which
i've never had reason to upgrade beyond
OS 8.6. I happen to still prefer certain apps which are unstable beyond that OS.
That said, realities dictate that I need to put an OSX machine in the office to replace this "classic" -- tho
i'd still like to keep the older machine online and ideally, networked.
RIght now I have this PMac, a dual-bootable studio G4 (MDD model), a G4 sawtooth (OS9) and a couple laptops (OSX Panther) coexisting peacefully via ethernet router network for WEB access.
My goal is A) to replace the office computer with a current generation machine running OSX (Panther or Tiger)..
B) To standardize on OSX for my Studio computers (which I normally stay in OS 9 with) and
C) ideally, network them all for both file-sharing AND web access-sharing.
How i might keep the G3 pmac networked, so that if/when i need to use older apps, i could do it and still be able to transfer files to the other computers/systems and do printer sharing.
Thanks much for any thoughts and opinions,
Mike in Mich.

1. You can use the instructions in this article to enable file sharing on a Mac OS 8.6 computer.
2. Sharing the Internet connection should be automatic when multiple computers are plugged into a router which is connected to the Internet.

  • Can't network OSX 10.5.8 to OS 8 machine

    I recently upgraded my Power PC G5 from Panther to Leopard 10.5.8 and I can no longer network to my old computer running OS 8. I have the computers connected via an Ethernet hub. With Panther, the G5 recognized the OS 8 machine on the network. But with Leopard 10.5.8, when I try to "connect to server" the OS machine is not available as an option on the network. On the older machine, I have the TCP/IP settings as: Connect via Ethernet, Configure using DHCP server. The G5 is connected to the Ethernet, and also configured using DHCP. These settings worked when I was on Panther. Do I have to change something to get 10.5.8 to find the OS8 machine on the network?

    There is no more support for AppleTalk File Sharing beyond 10.3 Panther, and AppleTalk Printer support disappears after 10.5 Leopard.
    There is nothing you can add to 10.5 to restore AppleTalk File Sharing. As Niel has suggested, OS 8 can share its files with ShareWay IP. If your older Mac could run OS 9, it includes a version of ShareWay IP.
    You can share 10.5 files From an OS 8 system \[actually as early as 7.5.3 with a few updates] by starting from the OS 8 computer and using the ( Server IP Address ) button that appears in the Chooser AppleShare pane. Enter the IP Address of the 10.5 Mac and click Connect.
    The login screen that appears is sent by the Mac OS X Mac. The username is filled in automatically by the OS 8 or 9 Mac, by automatically entering the OS 8 or 9 Sharing Name. It is almost always WRONG. The OS 8 or 9 Mac fills the password field with a FIXED number of bullets -- it has no idea how long the password is. Enter a username and password that is valid for the Mac OS X Mac and you should be connected.

  • Can't network Mac with W7 Ultimate 64 bit (but W7Pro32 and WXP work)

    Hi all,
    I posted a long (probably too long) issue recently but despite nearly 200 people viewing it, no-one offered a solution. So I am re-posting a shorter, clearer statement here but below I also enclose the long full diagnostic information (at the bottom).
    At home we have 4 computers: a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.7, a Windows XP desktop machine, a Windows 7 Professional 32-bit laptop, and a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit workstation. As a result of my extensive experimentation and testing I found that:
    - Networking and sharing drives between the Macbook and the XP machine worked fine in both directions
    - Ditto for the Windows 7 Professional 32-bit laptop - everything "just worked" exactly as it should
    - However the Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit machine simply would not work from the Mac to the PC (I was however able to access the PC from the Mac)
    - All PCs were of course able to inter-operate in both directions across the network with each other
    My conclusion therefore is that the Mac is set up and working correctly, there are no connectivity problems, and almost certainly this is an issue relating either to 64-bit W7 (versus 32-bit) or it's an issue relating to "Ultimate" versus "Professional" (or both). I have not 'fiddled' with anything, the only setting changes made which could be considered low-level were the 'secpol' change on the W7x64 machine which I read in many posts might solve the issue (it didn't).
    I am not a technical expert although I have some ancient history in the field. I just want it to work. Everything I read tells me that it should - now Windows and Mac both use SMB, etc etc. But it doesnt.
    Absolutely desperate to get this solved quickly now. I would even happily have paid someone, but finding an expert in Switzerland who can come to the house, speak English fluently plus (of course) be fluent in Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Mac... it's proved to be a test too far. So if anyone out there can help... thank you in advance.

    ORIGINAL DIAGNOSTIC DETAILS
    CONCLUSIONS
    There appears to be a fundamental compatibility problem between Mac OS X and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
    The problem actually appears to have a degree of randomness / instability about it (see below when, during diagnostics, the workstation actually disappeared, then reappeared!).
    I can only presume this issue relates in some way to the “enhancements” either related to Ultimate versus Professional, or to 64-bit versus 32-bit variants.
    At the moment there is only one solution I am confident would work, which is to revert my workstation to 32-bit… however this is not an option for me as it would render around 21GB of RAM unusable and remove the whole raison-d’etre for purchasing a powerful workstation in the first place.
    I am therefore stuck and in need of help!
    PRECONDITIONS
    In all cases I am using connectivity between three different PCs and a Macbook Pro 2.53GHz Intel Core Duo, 4GB RAM, Mac OS X running version 10.7 (Lion). BTW I know Lion is new but it was exactly the same with 10.6.
    I have three PCs: an XP Pro machine, a W7 Pro 32bit machine and a W7 Ult 64bit machine.
    All three PCs are running the same antivirus and firewall (Norton Internet Security 2011), this was left ON for all tests on all machines.
    I have already been through all the myriad of advise on this subject: as you can see from the below, file sharing etc has all been enabled. The “secpol” changes etc have also been made on the W7 Ult 64bit machine only (but these were only made because it didn’t work without the changes and everyone seemed to think this was needed).
    All my Windows computers are configured to workgroup “WILF” and also set this Workgroup name on the Mac in the WINS settings dialogue. No homegroup exists on the network.
    No other “tinkering” has taken place. Although I have some tech skills, I am just a bloke who wants to use his computers, not a computer genius. As such the Tosh laptop is pretty much fresh out of the box, the Mac has nothing non-standard and the only setting change is the WINS setting for the Workgroup name. The workstation is a little over a year old so but I have not poked around with anything deep inside it, so if there is anything wrong it should be superficial – the kind of thing a basic user could have changed by mistake and can easily be changed back.
    DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
    Connecting between Macbook and old Windows XP machine (XP Pro 2002 SP3):
    -        Open ‘Finder’ on Mac, PC immediately visible under ‘Shared’.
    -        From Mac: Single click on PC icon indicated “Connecting” then “Connect as Guest”, opens a list of all shared and public folders. Am able to copy files from Mac to PC, am able to copy files from PC to Mac.
    -        From PC: Opening “My Network Places” and clicking on “View Workgroup Computers” shows all my networked computers including the Mac, double-clicking the Macbook icon opens a list of all shared and public folders. Am able to copy files from Mac to PC, am able to copy files from PC to Mac.
    -        In short: this appears to work as it should.
    Connecting between Macbook and new Windows 7 machine (W7 Pro 32-bit 2009 edition, Tosh laptop w/ Intel Core i7 M620 @ 2.67GHz, 4GB RAM):
    -        Open ‘Finder’ on Mac, PC immediately visible under ‘Shared’.
    -        From Mac: Single click on PC icon indicated “Connecting” then “Connect as Guest”, opens a list of all shared and public folders. Am able to copy files from Mac to PC, am able to copy files from PC to Mac.
    -        From PC: Opening “Windows Explorer” and single-clicking on “Network” shows all my networked computers including the Mac. This time I decided to try logging into the Mac drives as me, rather than as a guest:
    Double-clicking the Mac icon opens up the ID / Password dialogue box.
    Inputting my correct username and password for the Mac immediately opened up all the folders on the Mac I have access to (the shared / public folders but also the folders for my login account on the Mac).
    Am able to copy files from Mac to PC, am able to copy files from PC to Mac.
    -        In short: this appears to work as it should.
    Connecting between Macbook and fairly new Windows 7 workstation (W7 Ultimate 64-bit  2009 edition SP1, Supermicro workstation w/ 2 x Intel Xeon W5590 @ 3.33GHz, 24GB  RAM):
    -        Open ‘Finder’ on Mac, PC WAS INITALLY  immediately visible under ‘Shared’… however while carrying out the testing for the XP machine and the laptop, it has disappeared! The other two machines remain visible.
    STOP PRESS: It reappeared… for how long, is anyone’s guess…
    -        From Mac: A single click on PC icon almost instantaneously indicates “Connection Failed”. Repeated attempts produce the exact same result. To verify the basics some elementary diagnostics:
    Mac IP address 192.168.0.11 can be successfully pinged from the PC.
    PC IP address 192.168.0.3 can be successfully pinged from the Mac.
    From PC entering comment “ping MACBOOKPRO-598A” (the latter being the computer name of my Macbook) works successfully i.e. name resolved OK, no packet loss, 1ms round trip.
    From Mac unable to run the reciprocal ping test for EITHER PC since I don’t know what to put into Ping to allow it to resolve the computer names.
    However I note that all 3 Windows machines remain visible in the Finder, only the two which work (the XP machine and the W7 32bit laptop) have the “Eject” symbol next to them and they are still the only two which work both ways without problem.
    In the Finder window after clicking on the PC icon in the left column, I get another instance of this icon in the next column with “Connect As” underneath and presently “Connection Failed”. If I click on “Connect As” I receive the error “There was a problem connecting to the server ‘alastair-ws’ (which is the PC name of the workstation).
    Finally if I use the GO -> Connect to Server option in Finder, using SMB://alastair-ws I receive the same error as above. I get EXACTLY the same error if I use the IP address of the workstation 192.168.0.3 as above.
    -        From PC: Opening “Windows Explorer” and single-clicking on “Network” shows all my networked computers including the Mac. Again I decided to try logging into the Mac drives as me, rather than as a guest:
    Double-clicking the Mac icon opens up the ID / Password dialogue box.
    Inputting my correct username and password for the Mac immediately opened up all the folders on the Mac I have access to (the shared / public folders but also the folders for my login account on the Mac).
    Am able to copy files from Mac to PC, although naturally not the other way around.
    -        Therefore the PC-to-Mac seems to work OK, but the Mac-to-PC does not no matter what I try, although the IP is visible and it’s clear the connectivity exists (or Mac copy onto PC would also not work).
    [END]

    You can give this a try on your Ultimate machine.  While these are said to be for Vista, I used it on my Win 7 machine just fine and it fixed the problems I was having.  Hope it works for you.
    The problem is that Vista, by default, will only use NTLMv2 for authentication, which is not supported by Mac OS X's Windows Sharing service.
    The other problem is the Minimum Session Security for NTVLM SSP based Clients.
    To get around this:
    1.     In Vista, open the Control Panel
    2.     Switch to "Classic" view
    3.     Double-click Administration Tools
    4.     Double-click Local Security Policy
    5.     Or Secpol.msc
    6.     Expand "Local Policies" and select "Security Options"
    7.     Alternate : Type secpol.msc to get editor up then
    8.     Locate "Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication Level" in the list and double-click it.
    9.     Change the setting from "Send NTMLv2 response only" to "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session if negotiated"
    10.     Network Security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP Based (including secure RPC) Clients
    11.     Change the setting from "require 128 bit" to unchecked (No Minimum)
    12.     Click OK
    the real difference between vista and windows 7 procedure is 10 and 11

  • Grey Screen, won't boot from usb. Only have a PC to create a boot USB. How can I reinstall OSX with a .dmg file?

    I recently recieved a macbook that I was told was broken. She didn't know what was wrong with it, but she told me I could keep it if I wanted to get it working again. Its http://support.apple.com/kb/sp579 this model. I got the laptop to power on, but the apple logo and the spinning wheel under it kept spinning forever. So with me and my "Amazing" knowledge of Macs, I thought it would be best to reformat the drive on my PC via sata cable to FAT32 (which I was told is a format that mac devices can read/write on) and install OSX from usb. So I have a .dmg file and used TransMac to format the usb and make the usb drive bootable with the .dmg.
    I formatted the drive to FAT32 and plugged it into my macbook and I get a folder and a question mark blinking on the screen. After looking at some forums online, I found that the error occurs when you don't have the correct filesystem to boot or something along those lines. So I try rebooting the computer while holding C, to boot from an external device (such as USB). Nothing. Again the folder and question mark blink on the screen. I look at some other boot option keys and try all of them. Shift for recovery mode, D for apple hardware test, Control, option, P, and R for resetting NVRAM and PRAM. Everything! The only things that differ slightly are when I press Option for startup manager, N for NetBoot and Option+N for internet default boot image. When I press N and Option+N, I get a blinking globe for about 5-10 seconds and then the folder and ? blink again. When I hold Option for the startup manager, I get a white screen and my curser, which I can move around the screen, but there is nothing to click on, its just white.
    Currently I have a USB flash drive plugged into the macbook with a .dmg OSX installer on it via TransMac and for some reason, my macbook doesn't want to try to load it. Either I have the wrong file format for the installer, or my macbook is having problems. I read that the hard drive may be the problem, except I can use it on my PC so I know that it works fine.
    If anyone has any information about how to fix this, or any ideas. Please let me know! I would very much like to get this macbook going again.

    The correct format for Mac OS X is not FAT-32.
    As the computer shipped with an install-restore disc DVD set that could be used to start the computer as an emergency disc and use the Utilities on the Installer, without running the Installer itself, to format, attempt repair, and perform a few different system installs or reinstalls, this is where the correct format would come from.
    Was there documentation to confirm the build year and model information, such as to refer you to the product page link you posted above?
    If accurate, that MacBook shipped with this custom grey
    install-restore DVD version of Snow Leopard:
    Original OS
    Mac OS X 10.6.1 (10A2047)
    Maximum OS
    Latest release of OS X
    AirDrop
    Supported
    Hardware Test
    AHT 3A181
    And to be able to restore the basic OS X to that level, official replacement discs for that computer should be ordered from AppleCare; to facilitiate obtaining correct ones, you should find the product serial number. There likely would be a fee involved. The replacement disc set may have a different number than the one in the information box above, but would match the hardware series by Apple standards. And a replacement disc may not have the original extra applications that shipped with the computer when new. Those original discs are part of the retail computer, an essential part number, like the power adapter, and should be included with the computer even after an OS X upgrade, since they allow basic access without using the internet.
    The remainder of the Snow Leopard 10.6(.8) would be a download Software Update Combo v 10.6.8, either direct from Apple servers or through the computer's running Software Update. Once the computer is up to date in Snow Leopard, 10.6.8, then one could visit the Mac App Store, App Store, and iTunes Store; from the Mac App Store, and you could check/get the latest upgrade to Mac OS X, 10.9.2. An Apple ID is required to access.
    The computer may not support Mavericks 10.9.2, or may be able to, but could use an upgrade of RAM capacity.
    If your model and build year series info is correct:
    Maximum Memory
    8.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    2 - 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    For more information see the database download http://mactracker.ca
    and also compare specs with macbook models at everymac.com.
    The newer OS X systems that can use a Recovery HD partition on the hard disk drive, can start from there to repair their hard disk drive, and reformat the section where the Mac OS X runs, and reinstall that. Since there is no likelihood of that still being on the drive once it was FAT-32 reformatted, it will not be present to assist in attempts to reformat the drive; if the computer had been upgraded past Snow Leopard 10.6, to a later system that would have used the recovery partition, or the later internet recovery system. That goes to Apple Servers to use OS X Utilities and reinstall the system, helpful for computers without optical drives or system media. Your MacBook with 10.6.8 installed, then had to access the Mac App Store, to get 10.7.5, 10.8.5, or 10.9.x
    Identify your Mac lookup by model number or serial number:
    https://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
    Anyway, the hardware in the computer may need some inspection, troubleshooting, and maybe repair; but the original DVD install-restore disc has an Apple Hardware Test on it, for that series build model macbook. That could help in troubleshooting some aspects of the computer. Could be the hard disk drive failed; or if someone tried to upgrade the RAM, the system may not have worked correctly. Hard to say how it was messed up, at this stage. There are several possible causes.
    Hopefully you can get the correct disc set from AppleCare.
    You can call Support number, or use Contact Support page.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Can I network DSL with an older iMAC?

    I have a goosenexk iMAC Power PC G4 that's hooked up to SBCglobal using a modem that SBC sent me.
    I have an older round iMAC OSX 10.2 Power PC G3 also.
    I would love for the older snowball imac to be online so my other family members could surf the web.
    Do I get the Airport extreme and an airport card for the G3? I do have the airport set up utility listed on the G3 under applications.
    Any advice would be very appreciated!!!

    I have sbcglobal as well with a Blueberry iMac 350 and a Dell with XP and a Powerbook with an Airport Extreme card.
    with a multiport wireless router of your choice you can hard wire the connections with ethernet Cat5 or 6 cable and connect all or you can opt for purchasing the Airport card for the iMac G3 and connect wireless.
    So instead of plugging in your computer to the Modem they sent, you plug in the same spot to the WAN port on your choice of multiport Router and purchase your appropriate Airport cards.
    Cheers Don

  • Can't network computers with firewall on and ? have been Hacked

    I have 2 questions that are somewhat related to a firewall problem.
    I have not had my firewall turned on in Sharing because I can't connect to my other computers when I have it turned on. I have a 2Ghz iMac and a 17inch Mac Book Pro both running 10.4.6 sharing on an Airport Nework. When I turn on the firewall, I can not connect the computers using Network. I have Personal File Sharing, Person Web Sharing and Apple Remote Desktop checked under Services and Personal File Sharing turned on. When I turn the Firewall off, I can connect. Is there some way to turn on a Firewall in the Airport?
    I think this problem comes from not having my firewall turned on. When I wake up my computer from sleep and Entourage is open, the progress window says it is opening an account that I don't have. The attempt to access doesn't last very long, but comes on several times for a few seconds, and then goes away. It is or a Yahoo account, and then this morning was some other account I had never heard of. I can't find anything in my accounts that has any of these names. I can only see the accounts that I have made. It seems that someone somehow has managed to hijack my Entourage. Is there anyway to find where these accounts are coming from, and how do I get rid of them?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    2Ghz iMac G5 and 17" MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    You're welcome. By the way, the Bonjour name is simply the name you gave the computer (which you can find in System preferences/Sharing) with '.local' at the end. Using this makes it easier to choose the right network when needed from your favourites list.
    Don't forget to mark any post 'helpful' or 'solved' where appropriate.
    Cheers.

  • How can I make OSX index a network share for spotlight?

    How can I make OSX index a network share for spotlight?
    I am using a QNAP NAS with SMB network shares, which I mount with OS X Mavericks. They are not searchable, as far as I know because of the indexing of network share is by default not activated.
    To force the OS to index them I activated this via mdutils. But this is no solutions. This makes spotlight to index the share once. But I want spotlight to index it always and keep it up to date. I have a huge amount of documents & fotographs, which is very difficult to manage without being searchable.
    Unfortunately the only solution I found in the www was the mdutils-way, which seems not to work, maybe only works not for me.
    I would appreciate any assistance,
    Thank you,
    Stefan

    My thanks to everyone who has contributed to solving this problem here.
    It appears that there still is NOT a good, reliable solution.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.
    I did find this on http://jonathansblog.co.uk/how-to-enable-spotlight-indexing-on-a-network-drive:
    ===================================
    To enable spotlight indexing on a network drive:
    # mdutil /Volumes/name -i on
    To disable the indexing of a connected network drive:
    # mdutil /Volumes/name -i off
    To check the status of indexing on a connected network drive:
    # mdutil /Volumes/name -s
    ===================================
    And, I found this on the Synology NAS forums:
    cd /Volumes
    mdutil shareName -i on
    mdimport -Vp ./shareName
    where shareName = name of your share
    I have used the mdutil /Volumes/name -i on, and it seems to work.
    But, if I understand it correctly, it is a one-time indexing -- the index is NOT keep up-to-date with changes.
    So, how can we keep the index up-to-date?
    My thought was to schedule a Terminal file to execute each night with the mdutil code.
    Would this work?  If so, how would you setup a scheduled run?
    Would it have to be done on each Mac that accesses the Share?

  • I installed 5 but now I can't use it with Mac osx - how do I go back to my old version?!

    I was prompted to install Firefox 5 on my Mac. Now when I try to open it says I can't use Firefox with osx. How do I go back to using the previous version - has it been written over? My previous version was fine!

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • Can I have a network user with the same name as a local user?!

    I have just set up Mac OS X 10.8 SErver with Open Directory.  I have about 20 machines that I will be setting up, some which have mainly been used localy and just used to tap into Shared Files, [historically], but am wanting to use network users for better backup and support.
    However some of the legacy accounts were not used on off the server...  What I have is the following :-
    a)    [Person A]  - They are a network user with Password [Password A]
    b)    The computer is [Person A], they have a Password [Password Old] (so it is different)
    I have Network Account Users turned on, with a green dot! (have domain all set up)
    However How do I connect using either a or b.  depending on what i feel like that day!
    ? Help any ideas.
    Ultimately I will have set up all my client machines with a client admin user and standard password... but I am not there yet!

    Moving from local (legacy) users to network users takes a one-time hassle of moving the contents of their local home folder contents up to the server. Using a finder copy never worked for me. What I finally found worked reliably was using rsync to copy the entire users local folder up to the server. Once on the server, move the files into place (if you didn't rsync them there directly. Finally, Chown all the files (on the server) to associate them with the correct userID on the server. If everything looks right on the server, you can test by trying to login as this user from another local Mac (but now as a network account), and hopefully their home folder looks like they expected.
    Note you will need admin access in the local machine and the server to rsync their home folder. You don't want to be logged into their account while trying to copy their files up to the server.
    If rsync is not your bag, a portable hard disk and/or disk image of their home folder is another way to move their stuff.
    Once you've verified that their network account got to the server ok, then REMOVE the local account.

  • How can I use AirPlay from a wireless device while in 'Join a network' mode with an Ethernet client?

    I just got the brand new Airport Express (simultaneous dual-band 802.11n) and I'm trying to set it up to join an existing working wireless network that I have in my house, and to drive my home stereo amplifier and have my desktop hooked up via the wired Ethernet port on the Airport Express.  Here's how I set it up:
    -Wireless mode is 'Join a wireless network'
    -Wireless Network Name: <my home network>
    --Allow Ethernet clients is checked
    -Internet is configured via DHCP (it gets a valid DHCP lease and IP address on my subnet)
    -AirPlay is enabled
    -The audio out from the Airport Express is connected to my amplifier via an optical digital cable.
    If I leave it set up just as described above, I can select the Airport device from iTunes on my MacBook Pro and play music directly to the speakers.  Perfect.
    The problem comes when I go to plug in my desktop to the wired Ethernet port on the Airport Express.  As soon as I plug in the Ethernet, AirPlay stops working on the laptop.  Even if iTunes is in the middle of playing a track, the track will stop when the Ethernet cable is plugged in (with a device on the other end).  Doesn't matter which of the two Ethernet ports I use.  My desktop is able to use the internet while plugged in to the Airport Express, but iTunes on the laptop is no longer able to connect to the Airport Express to use AirPlay.
    I've found that if instead of plugging my desktop into the Airport Express's wired ethernet, I plug in the laptop, then iTunes on the laptop is able to use AirPlay -- but then no other devices on the network are able to use AirPlay.
    It appears that as soon as I plug in a wired Ethernet device to the Airport Express it only "listens" to AirPlay connections from devices connected to that wired interface.  But this is the opposite of what I want.  I want it to listen to AirPlay connections from wireless devices connected to the same network as the Airport Express.  Is this possible?  Is there some hidden setting I have to enable?
    Thanks!

    Hi Hreb,
    I can find nothing wrong with your configuration, but I was curious if there were something illegal about having an Express "join" a wireless network, and still have AirPlay enabled for wireless clients while simultaneously serving as a bridge to a wired one.
    To address that uncertainty I implemented your proposed application with the preceding model AirPort Express, and determined it works as you would expect it to: I connected a wired-only PC to the Express, verified that it can connect to the Internet, and streamed Airtunes from a Mac to speakers connected to the Express. I think this is what you want, and it works with no surprises. I was also able to stream Airtunes from the PC connected to the Express as you did, but as you know only one device can stream to the Express at any one time.
    I do not have a new simultaneous dual band Express to test though, so all I can conclude is that there may be a bug with the new one that is preventing you from accomplishing this.
    Since it is new, I recommend you call Applecare on Monday and explain what you are trying to do. Explain it works with the older Express and you think this ability should remain unchanged with the new dual band model. It is likely they won't be able to help, and at best will offer to exchange it for another one, but if it is a bug as I suspect any replacement dual-band Express will behave the same way.
    The important thing is to inform Apple and obtain a case number so that this problem will eventually get the attention of Engineering who might be able to address this with a future update.
    Let me know what you find out. Thanks.

  • HT201335 Can i use airplay with the apple tv and airport express without an internet connection? Basically Set it up as a closed network?

    I was told I could set a local network with the airport express, apple Tv, and my iPad to stream videos or pictures to a TV for a presentation.
    No internet connection is available at the location.
    Is that possible? Or do I need to access itunes homeshare with an internet connection to make this work?
    I've set it up at home where I have an internet connection and it works fine but I want to move the setup to my church for a class. The data I'm using is stored on my ipad.
    I know I can do this wired with the HDMI adapter but would like to do it wireless.
    Thanks for any help!

    Ok so we now have a solution to the problem.   A friend of mine came round to work this out with me last night and we were able to get it working, but it is not as easy as I had hoped.  Fisrtly we plugged the airport express into my router using the ethernet cable  (for this I am using an Airport Express Base Station") and in airport utilities selected the airport express.  In edit, we then gave the airport express a new range of IP address which did not conflict with any of the other applications that I have already assigned.  We also named the Airport Express with a distinguishable name.  We then waited for the changes to be registered then unplugged the Airport Express from the router.  I then plugged my AppleTV via HDMI into a tv to test it and selected the new wifi network with the new Airport Express distinguishable name.  I was able to watch a video that I have on my ipad directly on my tv without being connected to the internet, and was able to play Airplay presentations.
    No the easiest solution, and certainly not something that anyone at Apple has talked me through in my lengthy conversations with them at Applecare. 
    Hope this helps.

  • Moving a drive with OSX to another computer? take it out of my Mac pro laptop and into my mac mini. can it be done with no OS/Hardware issues?

    moving a drive with OSX to another computer? take it out of my Mac pro laptop and into my mac mini. can it be done with no OS/Hardware issues?

    When I work with a drive to boot many computers, I use the newest model computer I will be booting, and set the system up on that, run all the Apple updates. Normally I will have no issue booting any older computer with the same drive. Unless of course those older computers do not support the operating system on that drive.
    If you want to test if the drive will boot the mac mini. Put your MacBook Pro into target mode. Connect the two computers together. And on the Mac Mini, go into system preferences and then under start up disk and see if the target disk mode computer's drive shows up there. Seelct that drive and restart. See if it boots ok. A bit easier then taking the drives out and moving things around.

  • My iPhoto icon has a cross over it, when i open it, it You have "iPhoto" 9.2.1. you can't use this with this version of OSX? it used to work ?what's gone wrong?

    my iPhoto icon has a cross over it, when i open it, it You have “iPhoto” 9.2.1. you can't use this with this version of OSX? it used to work ?what's gone wrong?

    iPhoto 9.2.3 is incompatible with MacOS 10.9.3 Mavericks. If you are running Mavericks on your system you need to update iPhoto to 9.5.1. Only, the problem is, that this version is no longer available at the App Store.
    The easiest way to get a compatible iPhoto version in that case would be to upgrade to Yosemite, MacOS X 10.10, and then download the most recent iPhoto version from the AppStore, iiPhoto 9.6, like LarryHN suggested.
    If you cannot download iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.6 post back.
