Can see the shared folders from my vista machine, but cannot get into them

I was looking through these forums last night, and thanks to someone elses post, I was able to make it so that my Vista machine can SEE my Mac over the network. So I can see the computer, I can see what folders I had set on the mac as "shared", but if I try to open them, Winblows throws up an error that the network path is inaccessible...I may not have permission...blah blah blah. The Mac is connected to the network wirelessly, whereas my PC is hooked up through an ethernet cable (don't know if this matters or not). What settings do I need to check/adjust in Leopard so that my Winblows machine will talk to it? All I want to do is some simple file transfers, nothing complicated.

Thank you for your reply. Unless I overlooked something, Windows Sharing does not seem to exist in Leopard. I remember it being there with Tiger, but I did not see that particular option with Leopard. My firewall settings seem to be okay, as I was able to communicate with the Tiger machine and the other Windows machines currently with no issues.

I can see the thumbnail in "my videos" on iTunes, but cannot locate the file - what gives?

I'm using the latest version of iTunes on my Mac (OS X 10.9.5) - I can see the thumbnail of the video I want to play in iTunes, my videos, but it won't play because "original file could not be found". What gives? I never delete anything, backing everything up to my Mac and an external drive. It's my sister-in-laws wedding video(s) - I'm a dead man if I can't find them. Thanks! I think I took the videos a few years back with a BlackBerry, if that matters.

Hi Fun Johnny,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are unable to play videos because of an alert notifying you that the original files cannot be found. In this situation, I would recommend working through the suggested steps in the attached article to try and locate these files.

I just bought a new macbook pro and after doing the data migration from my time machine I cannot get pages to work

IOU is operating system for iPhone, iPad not MBP. Is Pages the only issue you are having? What version of Pages are you using? Post in the Pages forum where those experts are.

You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.

I can see the shared library, but it will not open, need help

Books from the iTunes Store are intended to be read using the iBooks app on an iOS device.

Is the "software update" for iTunes 12? Or something you did to the iPod?

Yes, that appears how Mavericks works right now. However, you can open the Address Panel, select all your contacts, then click the To (or CC, or Bcc) buttons to move the selection to the address field.
If it is not already in the Toolbar, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize Toolbar…
Then, drag the address panel up to wherever you want it.
You may also want to add it to the New Message window in the same way.

I can see the Safari icon on my iPhone screen, but the program doesn't run. I have checked the settings and it is on and not restricted. Can I delete the application and reinstall it?

I can see the Safari icon on my iPhone screen, but the program doesn't run. I have checked the settings and it is on and not restricted. It seems that the application has simply stopped running. The little "searching" icon just spins and spins. Can I delete the application and reinstall it?

You can't delete it. you will need to do a restore.

New Time Capsule will not back up my 2009 MacBook Pro. I can see and find my last back before Mavericks but cannot backup.

New Time Capsule will not back up my 2009 MacBook Pro. I can see and find my last back before Mavericks but cannot backup. The TC will not allow me to delete or start a new backup disk. My 2024 MacBook Air did the same yesterday but today it backs up.

Seems to be working now. I left the MacBook on all morning trying to back up and now works.

I have a WiFi connection from an international hotel, but cannot get on line even though my laptop wireless is working fine. I have the Cell off. Also tried Airplane Mode ON and WiFi On. Any suggestions?

I am using WiFi for my laptop from the hotel room in an international location.
I have tried everything but cannot get my iPhone5 to connect to the internet from the room (where room # and name need to be entered first) OR the lobby (open WiFi).
Cell is off, Roaming is off.
I tried turning phone off, turning on with Home button pressed to reset, Forget Network and re-connect. No luck.
A friend has an iPhone 5 and it works just fine.
Any suggestions?

Catch 22
I need Safari to get to that first page so I can do that!
I am already logged on via the laptop, and can add the iPhone if Safari could only get to the first page!!
The lobby wifi is open, and doesn't need the sign in page, but I can't get to the Internet even though it seems to have connected to the hotel's wifi.
