Hello everyone! I have a home wireless network a G4 desktop running 10.4 and I have been trying to shares files with my laptop (windows XP)*(I can access the mac from the windows XP).* I already click on the sharing and i tried this approach *http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3020.html*
I can see the laptop from the Mac but when i click connect comes out as *: CAN'T BE OPEN BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL ITEM CAN NOT BE FOUND : DELETE ALIAS - FIX ALIAS and OK.*
Please any suggestions. troubleshooting

Yes indeed, after a few recent Windows® security patches, connecting from a Mac was slow to impossible, even when it did work, it could take more than 45 minutes for a PC to show up on the Network.
After installing Bonjour for Windows® and learning to right click on the connection in Windows to access Bonjour, the connection was almost instant.

  • Can I access my windows computer from mu ipad?

    am wanting to buy an ipad2, but I have a Windows based computer at home that I take college classes on.  Can I access my home work from my ipad ?

    Do you mean seize control remotely? There are a variety of apps that will let you do that - I use Splashtop, which recently rolled out a way to access and control the PC over the Internet. If you just mean copy docs over to your iPad, then also yes - through cloud storage (such as DropBox) or productivity apps such as Goodreader or the many office suite apps.

  • Can't access a Windows PC from my Mac

    Hi ,
    I'm having real problems connecting to my PC from my Mac.
    I'm using a wireless router, both the pc and my macbook are connected wirelessly to the the router. From the PC I can ping the pc, the router, external web addresses, and the mac. From the mac I can ping the mac, the router, external web addresses but not the pc.
    What's really strange is that I can connect to the mac from the pc, transfer files from the pc to the mac, and transfer files from the mac to the pc. However I still can't connect or ping the pc.
    I've tried enabling sharing on the pc, I've got the same "workgroup" for the pc and the mac.
    I've now run out of ideas, does anyone else have any that might help ?

    Hi iFelix,
    Does the PC have an account with a username and a
    password.
    yes the pc does have an account with username and password, and for consistency I made them the same as the mac username and password.
    I'm still not sure why I can't even ping the pc though ?
    I followed your tutorial through, that's when I managed to get the pc to access the mac and transfer files, unfortunately I stll can't see the pc though (Very good tutorial too).
    Thanks

  • Can I access Ext Windows HD from my PB

    Hi
    My past neighbors are moving and gave me their 2 old PC towers to look after and repair if I can.
    None of them start, but they would like to recover some files on them.
    One shows a XP Pro loading screen at some point, and I remember the other is a 98 (DK which version). Apparently one of them is infected by a virus that stopped it working.
    I have put one HD in an enclosure. It shows in DU.
    Volume format is MSDOS (FAT)
    and I can eject. That's about it.
    I tried to verify but says Unrecognised Filesystem.
    Is there an equivalent of MacDrive?
    Thanks

    there is no need for an equivalent of Mac Drive with FAT formatted drives. OS X can read and write to FAT formatted drives without any software. if it doesn't work for you the file system on that drive is likely damaged or the drive is defective. if it's a file system problem it should be fixed from windows. you can try mac data recovery software like Filesalvage or Data rescue II but it costs money and is not guaranteed to work.

  • Can't access iPhoto 09 library from outside iPhoto

    Since upgrading to iLife 09 I can't access my iPhoto library from anywhere BUT iPhoto. I use Photoshop CS2 and open my photos directly from that application. But now when the directory actually appears, it is greyed-out and inaccessible.

    Yes you can do this
    In Finder you can right click the iPhoto library and choose 'show package contents'.
    but you shouldn't.
    With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 and later*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    All of these are a: faster and b: safer than rooting around in the folders of the Library package
    Regards
    TD

  • Can't access Logic Pro 9 from app store.

    Hey guys,
    Can't access Logic Pro 9 from app store. I purchased it from the App Store for my iMac in Jan 2012. I know have my wife's old macbook, and I'm trying to get put Logic on that computer too. I just updated it to Snow Leopard so that I could access the App Store. 
    Logic Pro shows up in the purchases tab on the laptop, but when I click install, the install button just goes white for a few seconds, then back to grey.
    If I click on the App itself it says "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Australian Store." Only thing is I tested out downloading it onto my wife's new laptop only 2 weeks ago. Has it been removed from the App Store forever in that short little window? Quite annoying if I've missed the boat by such a short amount of time. If that is the case, is there any other way of transferring the app from one computer to another?
    Thanks,
    Thom

    No.. its still available on the Aus App Store.... I was just speaking with a client of mine in Geelong and he successfully downloaded it under the Purchase tab last Saturday so....
    Sign out of the App Store
    Quit the App Store
    Restart your Mac
    Launch the App Store..
    Sign into the App Store... using the Apple ID you used to purchase Logic Pro 9
    Look for any new Terms and Conditions popup you may need to agree to....
    If you click on the actual Logic Pro 9  icon you will get the message you saw because LP9 isnt available to purchase on the App Store any longer... so only click on the install button to the far right of the Logic Pro 9 entry under the Purchase Tab...
    Failing this... contact Aple directly as it is possible they will need to reset your Mac App Store account for it to work correctly (as has been needed in the past when this has occurred.)

  • I can't access my overdrive books from library!!!

    I can't access my overdrive books from library!!!

    One reason for this is the use of ADE2.0 in conjuction with a Sony eReader device.
    With the eReader plugged in, ADE2.0 refuses even to display library books, let alone copy them to the eReader.
    This may be an issue with other eReader devices as well; ADE2.0 is riddled with such bugs.
    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0.  Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
    (You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

  • I have converted a pdf to word. How can I access the Word file from my online account?

    I have converted a pdf to word. How can I access the Word file from my online account? When it says 'download the converted file' I choose a location on my PC and click, but nothing happens. It seems that it can only save the converted file to my online account. I went to my online account but I see no way to look for the file

    Hey Fabrizio,
    You might need to sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf" using your Adobe ID credentials to convert your PDF file to Word.
    Do you get the 'download' prompt?
    Also, you can find the converted files by clicking at the 'Files' tab. 
    Please try the same using a different browser and check.
    Hope to hear from you.

  • How can I access my iTunes account from my iPhone.

    1- I can't access my iTunes account from my iPhone.
    Do I have to sync them or can I download the songs I bought without connecting with my macbook?
    Last time i connected the two, all my music got deleted. Must have done something wrong, but have no idea how to prevent that from happening again.
    2- My "preferences" panel in iTunes, only shows apps and books, not music- Why?
    3- I can't save any music on iClod.

    hello. 
    i followed your link on how to delete content from all things Apple, and nothing removes books, movies, music... it just gives said device(s) the iCloud/download icon on top of the book, movie...  not sure what the 'hide' purchase actually does - after X'ing/hide, everything STILL appears across all devices using that account.  could you clarify this any further?
    if i am understanding iTunes correctly, then EVERYTHING we download (free or purchased) will be FOREVER accessible with zero way for us to control what is filling up this mysterious vault called the cloud?  (creepy- apple is keeping EVERYTHING, what happens when the cloud gets full?)
    since we have iCloud.com and it shows our "stuff" that we iCloud sync from our devices such as notes, contacts, calendar... then why doesn't apple provide an iCloud.com tab that shows ALL of our purchases so we as CONSUMERS control/delete what is in our account? 
    we download ALOT of apps to try and then delete them off our devices.  that works fine, but movies and books are always there.  maybe a glitch?

  • How can I access a calendar backup from my old iPhone?

    How can I access a calendar backup from my old iPhone?
    I recently had to get a replacement iPhone 4. The tech at the Apple Store thought that I might have had a software problem and recommended that I not "restore from backup," but start this phone as a new device and just sync the apps and what-not. My calendar on my computer was different than the one on my old phone, though, and now I need the data from my old iPhone calendar. I did back up my old phone just prior to taking it to the Apple Store.
    HELP!

    Well what you can do is update to ios5 then use icloud to sync your calandar up to your phone then restore your phone as new and when prompted in the new phone setup put in your icloud username and password and you will have your calandar events back.

  • I upgraded to the new IOS, but lost data and apps. When I try and restore the only backup I see is the one made AFTER the lost data. How can I access an older backup from the cloud?

    I upgraded to the new IOS, but lost data and apps. When I try and restore the only backup I see is the one it made AFTER the lost data. How can I access an older backup from the cloud?

    Why don't you talk to apple and find out if backup exists? That conversation with apple will stop your guessing.
