Can't access my iMac from a Windows 98 PC

When I was prompted for password on the PC running Win 98, I simply clicked "OK" as I had not set any user password on my iMac. However, I got the "wrong password" message and therefore failed to access my iMac from that PC.
On the PC, I could ping the iMac without problems. I can also access the PC from my iMac. I have the username on the PC that is exactly the same as the one I have enable "Windows Sharing".
Any clues on this?

Thanks James.
I tried but without luck. The issue is, it prompts me for password and whatever I input, it says wrong password. In fact, I do not have any password set on my iMac and therefore I should be let through if I simply click the "OK" button on the password dialog without putting anything in the password field.

  • HT2954 How can I access my imac mail from a different computer other than Apple?

    How can i access my imac email from a differnt computer other than
    apple?

    If you are using IMAP mail connection (IMAP keeps the  mail on the server), then you just configure the other computer's mail client to access the same account.
    If you are using a POP mail connection, then the mail is generally downloaded to your Mac and deleted from the server.  That is a much more difficult problem to solve.  NOTE:  Google's gmail does have a POP option that does NOT delete the mail on the server, so it is accessible via the gmail web page.
    A lot depends on what you are using for your mail service and whether you are using IMAP or POP protocols.

  • Since installing Photoshop CC I can't access Camera Raw from the program Bridge.

    Since installing Photoshop CC I can't access Camera Raw from the program Bridge.  When I try, I get a message that says, "Camera Raw editing is not enabled. Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature."  Is Photoshop CC a qualifying product?  It has been opened a number of times, but it doesn't solve this problem.

    I am having this exact same problem and just upgraded to Windows 7...many people are saying to update the Plug In for Camera Raw to 4.6, but that is not working for me to see it in Bridge or Camera Raw.

  • Can someone access my mac from airport

    Can someone access my iMac through airport express? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Obviously, since if you couldn't access your own iMac your Express woudn't be much good, would it?
    However, assuming you set a login name and password for your iMac, you need to provide that even if you are accessing the iMac from another client on your network. To join the network requires yet another level of authentication, which you presumably configured in your Express. Furthermore, accessing your network from outside its router is more difficult still.
    It sounds as though you were concerned, so I hope that assuages it.

  • Suddenly can not access .mac mail from Apple Mail

    Suddenly, I can not access .mac mail from Apple Mail (Version 2.1.1 (752.3)).
    For quite a few years I have been using Apple Mail to access my .mac email. As of last Friday, Mail stopped working. Nothing has changed (accept for the installation of the latest OS X security upgrade - SecUpd2006-008Univ.pkg).
    I can still access my .mac mail through the .mac web browser and I can still access it through SnapperMail on my Palm Treo 680. But, when I open Apple Mail on my MacBook, it does not do anything, just sits there. When I open the Activity Viewer window, 3 activities are going on:
    1. Opening Mailbox
    2. Synchronizing with Server (Connecting to...)
    3. Synchronizing with Server (Synchronizing with...)
    After a few minutes, the error triangle appears next to the Inbox and .Mac logos on the left hand panel.
    I have tried Apple Mail from several locations (different ISP / WiFi / LAN) over several days but get the same problem.
    Does anyone have ideas for a solution?
    Regards
    Peter

    Let’s first make sure that the update is installed properly, and post back with your observations when done.
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the update that appears to not have been installed properly. You may also need to reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with your computer:
    About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
    Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for PPC
    Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for Intel
    Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
    Troubleshooting installation and software updates
    Installing software updates
    Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

  • I would like to access an old Time machine back up from a Core 2 Duo Macbook, but no longer have a Mac. Can I access the backup from a cheaper old ibook, or would I need a Macbook. Is the OS important?

    right click on the folder that shows with the red negative sign, and select to "get info".  In the long skinny window that appears, look in the "sharing and permissions" section.  In the "name" column, you should see your current user name.  Ensure the "privilege" is set to Read and Write.  If your user name is not in the name column, click the + sign, and add it, ensuring the privileges are set to Read and Write

  • Can't access my mac from another computer

    Ok, i have been able to access my G5 mac using Tiger from my G4 PB using tiger in the past.
    I installed Leporad (family pack) on both machines. Now i can't access the G5 from the PB. the settings use to be correct. I kind of gave up, but i just would never get the log in or see the G5.
    Today, i finally had the oppurtunity to try using the Back to My Mac feature. My G5 was on at home and i had a wireless connection at work and needed a file on my G5. so i went to the shared section in the side bar and it wasn't there to access.
    When i got home i tried again. This time i could see the G5 in the side bar, but could not tell if it was through the internet or if i was seeing it through my wireless network.
    when i tried to access using the back to my mac by clicking on the shared volume in the side bar, i could not access it, it finally gave me an error message saying that the server may not be available.
    the weird thing is, if i choose to share screen, i could access the G5. I would get a log in window and log in no problem.
    the setting in my shared preference seem to be the same for both computers.
    any idea where to start on figuring this out.

    Today, i finally had the oppurtunity to try using the Back to My Mac feature. My G5 was on at home and i had a wireless connection at work and needed a file on my G5. so i went to the shared section in the side bar and it wasn't there to access.
    Do you have a .Mac account? And are both Macs setup to use the .Mac account? Without a .Mac account, the Back-to-My-Mac feature is not going to work, as you need .Mac to act as the middle man in establishing the connection.
    In addition, does your work have a corporate firewall? If it does, they most likely block the networking ports that BTMM uses.
    When i got home i tried again. This time i could see the G5 in the side bar, but could not tell if it was through the internet or if i was seeing it through my wireless network.
    Very likely this is local LAN via Bonjour.
    when i tried to access using the back to my mac by clicking on the shared volume in the side bar, i could not access it, it finally gave me an error message saying that the server may not be available.
    Do you have your Firewall enabled? Security System Preferences
    Did you enable Screen Sharing (I'm guessing you did, but I figure it is worth asking) Sharing System Preferences
    NOTE: I do not have a .Mac account, and my use of Screen Sharing has been just one or 2 experiments, but I figured I could at least ask some questions that might uncover something useful.

  • Computer crashed and got a new one, but can't access previous purchases from iTunes.

    When you purchase content from the iTunes Store it's downloaded to the storage/hard drive of the computer you purchased them on. You should have made a backup like iTunes warns you to do.
    However there is some hope, I can instruct you how to recover your content from the hard drive of the dead PC, provided the hard drive ITSELF still mechanically works and if your willing to perhaps spend some money and get your hands a bit dirty.
    Recovery option:
    I'm going to assume here that the PC is dead, either mechanically or the computer won't boot from the hard drive and you are willing to extract the hard drive from the computer and see if it works to get your data off.
    Be gentle, disconnect the power and remove the battery before carefully opening up the PC to remove the drive.
    Once you got the drive out there is a powered IDE/SATA to USB adapter for sale online for $20 that you can take that internal hard drive and use it like a external drive to access your files from another Windows machine.
    Your attempting to access a Windows NTFS drive from a Mac which can't read it, you need Paragons's NTFS for Mac® OS X software installed on the Mac first before hooking up the NTFS Windows formatted drive.
    Once you do that, you should be able to navigate to your Windows/Music folder and transfer the whole iTunes folder directly to the Mac desktop and also recover any other files you need as well.
    Good Luck
