Can't connect iMac/Leopard with Mac Mini/Tiger and vice versa

This one has got me tearing my hair out.
I have an Intel iMac running Leopard and a Mac Mini running Tiger on the same Ethernet network. Both run (adjacent) fixed IP addresses with common subnet mask and gateway. Both access the Internet fine through a single router. But can I share files between the two?
Neither has firewall turned on while file sharing is enabled. I can see each Mac from the other but when I try connecting first I get 'The server may not exist or is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again.' Then on clicking OK I get 'This file server is running on your machine. Please access the volumes and files locally.'
If I try connecting from Finder using Go - Connect To Server I get this error message 'The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "afp://MacMininame" could not be read or written.'
Although I'm running Leopard on the iMac now, this also used to happen when I ran Tiger too.
Many thanks - GeoffT.

Fixed it!
I have Parallels installed on the iMac and it creates two virtual network adapters (Guest-Host and NAT) in System Preferences/Network. For some reason I'd foolishly contrived to manually configure the Nat adapter to the same IP address as the Mac Mini, hence the point-back to the iMac every time.
Guess we're all allowed the occasional foul up.....

  • Can i connect my iMac to a mac mini (wirelessly) and control the mac mini display on my TV?

    Can i connect my iMac to a mac mini (wirelessly) and control the mac mini display on my TV?

    Look up "screen sharing" in help
    You can control your mini (which I am assuming you are hooking to your TV) complete from your iMac.
    After you set up screen sharing, you can go to the finder, under the "go" menu choose "Connect to server" and then browse.  Choose your mac mini's name, and look for the "Screen Sharing" button.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Sharing.
    Select the Screen Sharing checkbox.
    To specify who can share your screen, select one of the following:
    All users:
    Select this if you want to allow any user with a user account on your computer to share your screen.
    Only these users:
    Select this if you want to restrict screen sharing to specific users.Click Add at the bottom of the Users list and select a user from Users & Groups (accounts you have set up in Users & Groups preferences), Network Users (users on your network), or your Address Book. Or click New Person and enter a name and password to create a sharing account. Then select that user from the list, and then click Select.
    Click Computer Settings and set the following options:
    Anyone may request permission to control screen:
    Select this to allow anyone on your network to request to share your screen.
    VNC viewers may control screen with password:
    Select this and enter a password that VNC viewer applications can enter in order to control your screen.It’s recommended that you not set a password if you only share this computer’s screen using the built-in screen sharing viewer in Mac OS X.

  • How to connect an non-hana-ewm with an Hana-ECC and vice versa

    Hello,
    for our migration project planning I am wondering how to connect EWM on SAP with ECC on Hana and vice versa.
    As it is, both systems are (productive) on non - hana with actual SAP-Release and have to be migrated.
    The background of my question: we may be not able do the "big bang" thing to migrate ERP ECC607 and EWM (with special Add-Ons) at one point to Hana (DMO) and therefore may need an interim solution. I checked ETL and LTS as "connectors" but they - from my point of view -  are one-way solutions from EWM to ECC/Hana -not bidirectional.I Found some questions concerning the same theme in the net but no solution at all till now..
    How about BODS ? (Didnt work with it yet)
    Best regards,

    Great. So I have to either install OS X, or buy a new mcahine. Can OS X run on a G3 without grinding to a halt?
    By the way, I cannot get the iPod to even mount when connected via firewire. The USB/firewire PCMCIA card does not have drivers for OS 9. I thought that this support was built into OS 9. The USB port works (although the iPod will not mount when connected via USB either). Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • My Outlook calendar won't sync with my ipod touch and vice versa.  Wherever I input the info is where it stays. Contacts and notes sync but not calendar.

    My iPod Calendar won't sync with my Outlook Calendar and vice versa.  Wherever I input the information is where it stays.  My contacts and notes sync just fine.  Please help.  Very frustrated.  It used to work just fine.  I just upgraded to iTunes 10.2 version.

    I have the same problem since I updated to iTunes 10.2 Sue (I think). For me this was somewhere in January.
    I wasn't sure iTunes was the issue, until I read your post. I tested syncing a note, and that works fine.
    My 2nd generation Ipod Touch runs on IOS 4.2.1. It won't upgrade to 4.3.
    Possibly the synchonisation between iTunes 10.2 and IOS 4.2.1 doesn't work correctly.
    Has somebody else solved this isue? I use both calendars (on iPod Touch and on PC) for work and private matters.
    Otherwise I have to uninstall iTunes 10.2 and downgrade to 10.2.

  • Can we invoke a asynchronous BPEL process from synchronous and vice versa

    Hi,
    Can we invoke a BPEL asynchronous process from synchronous and vice versa. If so how to perform that.
    thanks,
    Vijay

    Yes you can
    sync -- calling --> Asyncc
    Async -- calling --> syncc
    Perfomance is no issue, depending on your requirements. Not the Syncprocesses are short-running processes, these will time-out after 30 seconds, if no answer is coming from the async process.

    Also note the time of the crash and upon rebooting open the Console app in the Finder>Applications>Utilities folder and look for suspicious log entries at that time and post them here

  • How to link idoc with its corresponding documents and vice versa...

    Hello Experts,
    What are the tables, transactions, etc that can link a certain document(e.g. PO, GR, invoice) to its IDoc and
    vice versa.
    Thank you guys and take care!

    Hi,
    The Message Control parameters from the partner profiles must also match the corresponding
    fields in the output type. These parameters include:
    u2212 Application
    u2212 Partner
    u2212 Partner function
    u2212 Output type
    Tcode  - NACE  (Output Control)
    Tables - SRRELROLES  (Object Relationship Service: Roles)
    Message Control is a mechanism by which documents are output based on certain conditions.
    1) The application id, communication structure and o/p determination procedure are responsible for triggering IDocs corresponding to a particular application document. For this to happen message control settings have to be done.
    2) Message Control u2013 also referred to as output control or conditioning technique u2013 is a cross-application component used as a service program in several areas. The basic concept behind Message control is to generate and manage outputs from an application and control their timings and medium of exchange.
    3) Message control settings can be done via transaction NACE or via transaction NACO.
    4) Starting point in message control in the u201COutput Determination Procedureu201D (Procedure within NACE txn.). Depending upon the configuration setting in SPRO this procedure is determined.
    A procedure defines a set of possible outputs for an application. We can define several procedures for an application, but only one can be configured as
    active (i.e. for a particular transaction document within an application only one procedure will be determined based on configuration settings).
    Eg->
    a) For Delivery (txn. VL01NO) the document type setting in configuration (SPRO -> Logistics Execution -> Shipping -> Deliveries -> Define Delivery types) determines the procedure.
    So whenever we save a document of particular application (of particular application id) and of particular document type, the particular o/p determination procedure is triggered.
    b) For sales, SPRO -> Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Output Control -> Output Determination -> Output Determination Using the Condition Technique.
    5) In the transaction NACE we can see that corresponding to application id (say u2018V2u2019 (shipping)) various procedures are defined:
    6) Before making the entry of the output type corresponding to a particular procedure, we have to define it with its attributes.
    The output type defines the characteristics and attributes of the output itself. We can access the output types on transaction NACE by selecting an application and clicking the Output type button.
    7) Access sequence defines a sequence in which business rules are checked for proposing an output type. It has following attributes:
    - A set of business rules or conditions.
    - A sequence in which the rules or conditions are checked.
    - A requirement that checks for business rules using ABAP programs.
    - An exclusive or inclusive strategy.
    We can access the access sequences on transaction NACE by selecting an application and clicking the Access Sequences button.
    Business rule 1 is based on SOrg./Distrib.Ch/Division/Customer. Business rule 2 is based on Sales Organization/Customer Number. Each business rule is, effectively, a set of fields defined in a condition table.
    8) Condition table specifies the key fields for a business rule. Hence for Business rule 1 the key is Sales Org., Distribution Channel, Division and Customer.
    9) Condition records are inserted in the condition table. The transaction is evaluated with the key (of the condition table based on business rule) and if the transactional data matches with the condition record the output is proposed.
    Condition records are defined at last.
    10) Several programs and tables are part of Message Control. For EDI, the following tables and programs will frequently be dealt with:
    *NAST - This table has an entry for the processing program used for an output type.
    *TNAPR - This table has an entry for the processing program used for an output type.
    *RSNAST00 - This program is used to process entries in the NAST table.
    *RSNASTED - This processing program exists for each output medium. ALE_PROCESSING is the routine in the RSNASTED program to process ALE outputs.
    11) Final overview of the components used in Message control to propose outputs.
    12) After doing all the settings for message control, the partner profile setting for this ALE scenario needs to be accomplished. We need to add the following entry to the outbound parameters of the partner profile:
    13) One important question that arises at this juncture is, how is the partner profile determined from the output type is case of ALE?
    This is information is stored in table EDP12 (Partner Profile: Outbound with Message Control). Based on the Partner type of receiver (RCVPRT), output type (KSCHL) and Application for message conditions - without value table (KAPPL), the Partner number of receiver (RCVPRN), Outbound process code(EVCODA), Message type (MESTYP) and other related values are determined.

  • Can't install Snow Leopard on Mac Mini with 10.5.8.

    I'm trying to install an upgrade copy of Snow Leopard from Apple on my Mac Mini running 10.5.8. I bought this system used and the volume says ";" and the error log code is 21. Seems it can't find valid softward ID to continue or the path is different. Not sure where to go with this.

    If your mini meets the specifications for Snow Leopard (an intel processor and 1GB or more of memory)
    then go here to buy snow leopard

    It's possible that the upgrade disk you have is specific to particular Mac models.

  • Can I use 2007 CinemaDisplay with Mac mini

    Can I use my iMac (PowerPC G5 2.1 GHz, Build 9L31a, Serial # W855104UTAR, VERSION 10.5.8) as a monitor with new Mac mini.
    If yes, how to do it?
    YES!
    You either must use a monitor to initially set up the Mac Mini, or use Target Mode to boot into its hard disk, and create these settings, but:
    You turn on Screen Sharing in the Sharing panel in System Preferences in the Mac Mini.  In my case I also give my Mac Mini a fixed IP with DHCP with Manual Address in the Network panel.
    Then you boot your iMac and in the Finder in the GO menu to Connect to Server... and enter: "vnc://192.168.0.148" but replace 192.168.0.148 with your Manual Address for your Mac Mini.   You log in with your name and password for the Mac Mini and your Mac Mini will now appear in its own window.
    Go to Full Screen and now you can running your Mac Mini with your iMac's keyboard, mouse and monitor.
    I have been using my mid-2011 Mac Mini in this fashion since I purchased it. 
    As a backup, I have an HDMI cable connected from my Mac Mini to my HDTV to allow for "monitor viewing" when and if needed.
    I have an older Mac Mini running Snow Leopard as part of my home entertainment center, and with its own IP, I also control it in this fashion without a monitor (although I can "view" it on my HDTV through its component video input, when needed).
    This is known as a "headless" mac mini. 
    In my case, instead of an iMac, I use my MacBook Pro.

    A 24-inch iMac can't be used as an external screen. However, you can use an application like ScreenRecycler to use your iMac as a screen for the Mac mini, but you need another screen to set up the new Mac

  • Can't pair iPhone 5 with Mac mini or iPad

    I have the exact same issue when trying to tether my iPad to my iPhone via bluetooth to connect my iPad to the internet.  A connection is established for only a couple seconds.  I'm able to tether via wi-fi though.

  • Can I install Snow Leopard on Mac Mini Server hardware?

    What I would like to do is buy the Mac Mini Server but I don't need the server OS. I want the desktop OS on the Mac Mini Server. Will installing Snow Leopard on the server hardware be just like installing it on a regular Mac Mini?
    Or should I just wait and see how Lion shakes out?

    Thanks Indy, I already had proceeded the installation according your tip. Just an objection related to the updates: I was able to install the OS updates only while in target mode, as when I made 2 attempts to update the version 10.6.6 to the current one (10.6.7 - the combo one and the MBP version too) it was not permitted. I had to plug the FW cable into the MBP again and update the Mini's OS (using the special MBP version of 10.6.7) in target disc mode. I want to use the Mini as a media server and intend to install Windows 7 on the other HD which now hosts the server OS. However, according to one poster (Sven G) there are some problems (I don't know exactly what they are) related to Boot Camp software. Have you any information about these problems?
    I have maintained both OS (standard and server) living side by side on the Mini, is there any problem with that?
    Again many thanks, you were succinct, right to the point, and your tip just proved itself correct. 
    Cheers
