Can't connect to pc to transfer files

I've gotten to the part where you put our username/domain and password in but not sure if that is the PC's usn/psw or mine that i use to sign into my mac? I've tried both but still no luck. It won't let me connect to transfer my files to the mac. Any suggestions on trying to connect to the network?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Here's one way you can approach this:
On the PC right click on the C: hard drive and then click the Sharing Tab, in the lower box check 'Share this folder on the network' and 'Allow network users to change my files' - if you don't want it to appear on the Mac Desktop as HDD (C:) give it another name. Close the panel.
On the Mac open System Preferences/Sharing and check 'File Sharing' then hit the Options button and check the third box "Share files and folders using SMB (Samba) Windows then add at least one username/account there which has read/write access to your hard drive (usually your own) then click 'Done' and close the Sharing panel.
Lastly on your Mac Desktop go to the top menu bar and select Go/Connect to server and in the pop up window that appears enter smb://nameofPC and hit connect - often the first time you will see a username/password dialogue appear and in this you enter a username/account on the PC
If all goes well you will then see the C: icon on your Desktop and be able to open/browse and copy files across from the PC to the Mac, permissions depending you will be able to write to most folders on the PC from the Mac but not everything.
To speed things up next time drag the PC hard drive icon that's now on your Desktop into your Favourites folder - then all you need do next time is double-click on that to open.
It's also possible to access the Mac from the PC by using CTRL E to bring up Explorer then Network Connections then Windows Local Network and the Mac 'should' appear for you to login. I've found it best to have Workgroup set to 'local' on both Mac and PC for this to work right however.

Can't connect with the Muse Fundamentals files

When starting the tutorials Muse is not connecting to the Muse Fundamentals files with the graphics to create the first website. When I installed the app, I did not use the default path but told it to install at C:\ProgramFiles\.
Should I re-install or how do I retrieve these files so that I can continue through the tutorials?

What's the oldest software an ipod can have to be able to transfer files to iTunes?

I have an iPod touch 3rd gen that's still running iOS 3.1.3 and I'm wondering if there's any way to still transfer files from the ipod to the itunes library with software that old?

The latest iTunes, iTunes 11 will work fine.

Windows ME to connect to MacBook to transfer files

Okay.....so I've been trying [unsucessfully] to transer my stuff from my pc to the mac.
I'm running Microsoft Windows ME and Mac OS Tiger.
I've read many discussions at apple.com and went to a few sites that had step by step guides. [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2892220?]
I followed this one exactly, except when I rebooted it didn't give a login window asking for a username or password. [http://joelshoemaker.com/computer/mac/macfilesharing.html]
I've connected the cross over cable to both computers. The work folders are named the same, everything on the Apple side is configured correctly as I did call support.
It's the Windows side that doesn't recognize the IP address from the Mac.
I tried connecting to my pc from my mac [go > connect to server] using the IP of my pc and it gives an error message:
"The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data could not be read or written. Error code 36."
This message comes whether the cable is connected or not.
I am at such a loss at this point and I don't know what to do.
Please help!
White MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I had the same problem about 2 or 3 years ago, except I was connecting a Windows ME to Panther (Mac 10.3).
I recall having a lot of trouble, and so I made some notes for myself at the time in case I ever had to do it again. I've forgotten now how to do it myself, but here are the notes in case they are any use to you. Good luck.
To access/manipulate Mac files from a Windows ME (NEC) computer need to do the following:
On the Mac:
• In Preferences > Sharing Panel, turn on Windows Sharing
On the Windows machine (NEC) need to do the following:
• For the Mac in question, set up a user account name on the NEC. The user name must be the same as that Mac user’s “Short name”. (To find the Mac user’s short name open up “Preferences–Accounts, then choose a user on the Mac)
• Go to the control panel and choose “users”. This brings up the User list panel: select “New User”
• Set up a new user by following the instructions. The new user name must be the same as the Short Name on the Mac. (Also need to give the new user a password for when they log into the NEC – this should be different to the Mac password).
When using the NEC to log on to the Mac need to do the following:
♣ Turn on NEC.
♣ Log in using the user name which is the same as the Mac Short Name (but the password you use at this point is the one for this NEC account, not the Mac)
♣ Open “My Network Places”
♣ Open “Entire Network”
♣ Click on “Workgroup” (note: this icon sometimes takes a few minutes to appear)
♣ Choose the computer to connect to: note its name is given as the subnet name in Panther
♣ Then the icon with the “Short Name” of the Mac appears. Click on it.
♣ Enter the password – this is the same password used when logging on to that Mac (but the password will not be asked for if you previously left the ‘remember this password’ box checked.)
Note: The Windows machine will automatically remember your Mac password unless you uncheck the appropriate box (I prefer to do so for security reasons, but it's easy to make a mistake and leave the box checked)
In order to see the NEC on my iMac flat panel running OS 10.3 I had to open "Directory Access" in the Utilities folder. Have to unlock the panel, then write administrator's password, then double-click "SMB". Then, in the box labelled "WINS Server" type in the name of the Windows computer. Have to then puts in administrator' password again, and should then lock the panel. A folder called "MSHOME" appears in the Network folder on the iMac. Can access files on the NEC by burrowing in through this.

Can't connect or create a log file

hi there
I can connect to my esxi 5.1 no issue with the onxy app - but connecting with the vsphere client on 1545 fails with "the request failed because of a connection failure" screenshot attached. If I try to enable logging to see whats going on the file doesnt get created, in any directory I choose. looks like a simple connection issue but credentials/ip are good. I noticed that when i make the initial connection with the onyx app it doesnt prompt for credentials to the esxi which i thought a bit odd, just goes straight to "connected..." is this by design?
Thanks!

Can't connect on wired network - Bad file descriptor

I'm using wicd daemon and never had any trouble before... in fact, I can connect normally to other wired and wireless networks. But recently I stambled onto a network which I can connect on Windows normally, but on Arch, wicd log says the following:

Can't connect to existing back-up file

I am having trouble performing a Time Machine back up of my Macbook Pro to my time capsule. I haven't done a back-up in a while, as I usually only do a back-up when I have new photos on my hard-drive. I use the native drive on the Time Machine for my back-ups.
I recently installed an external hard drive off of the time capsule to perform back-ups of a different Macbook as I didn't have enough space on the time capsule for the second computer.
I am now trying to do a back-up, but Time Machine won't find the .sparsebundle on the time capsule file. The only file that is on the time capsule is my existing .sparsebundle, but it keeps saying that there is not enough space on the drive for a back-up. What should I do?
Help!

Thanks for the tips. I tried them, and still didn't have any luck.
Here's the error that I've been getting. My internal HD is:
I have some minor files on there that take up at total of about 450 MB.
I don't know how it would need to back up a size larger than my internal HD. I wonder if it is trying to back-up my changes plus the back-up of the other MBP on the external drive connected to the time capsule.

Can't connect to OS X server file share

Hi there
I have a very basic setup (I would think).
Mac mini 2012 base model with 10.9 (fresh install) and server.app.
I went through the very simple build in setup guide for setting up filesharing in the server app and likewise with time machine and everything is in green on the server app as shown on the attached image
Under details for each I can see the two users (me and my wife) both with read-write access and the default system administrator (read-write), System group (read-write), Everyone Else (read only) and a strange code user (5937CDE-D22D-.......) with read-write access as well.
I can see the server in the finder sidebar on other macs on the network, but when I click it I just get an error saying something like "there was a problem connecting to the server..." (it's in Danish and I don't know the exact translation). I can then click "connect as..." which will just give the same error again or I can connect through screensharing
So how come the screensharing works, but not to the fileshare? Obviously time machine that wants to access the backup share doesn't work either.

Ah... I sort of figured it out. I thinkt the problem had two reasons.
1) The mac was both connected over wifi and LAN and it seems to have confused my router. When I disconnected the LAN and asked the client to forget the recent servers I could find the server again.
2) The username was the full name instead of the shortname. When the dialogue box on the client asked for a password it automatically suggested the shortname (johndoe). Once I changed this to the full user name (John Doe) I could get access. Only problem is that almost every time I re-connect I have to delete the shortname suggested in the form and replace it with the full name. I have tried to delete/edit all the saved passwords+usernames in my keychain to match the full user name, but it still have a tendency to suggest the shortname. It won't give an actual error message using the shortname, but just open the networkdrives (with only read access) and say connection failed.
For (1) the solution is easy although I would prefer to have both LAN (which is far more stable than wifi where I live) and wifi connected. Any thoughts on how to do this without generating two instances of the same computer on my local network are appreciated.
For (2) I simply don't know what to do appart from manually change the user name each time I want to log on. Any help here is also appreciated.

Can't Connect to Host to download files....help please....

New user here, any help would be appreciated....
I'm doing my hosting through godaddy, just got dreamweaver and am loving it, but have run into a snag.
For the longest time, I was logging into godaddy and downloading any updates through the ftp each time. My friend said I could do that with a single click, but I'm having problems. When I try to connect to the remote host I get "An FTP error occured-cannot make connection to the host. The remote host cannot be found."
I've attached a pictur of my setting....what am I missing?

How can I transfer files from an old Mac onto my new one?

As outlined on this thread, I am trying to get data from my 1995 Performa 630 to my recently delivered MacBook Pro. All suggestions gratefully received.
Also, are ClarisWorks files instantly readable by modern office software, or do I need to save in RTF or some other format, first, on the older machine?

Hi...
Your new MacBookPro has Mac OS X Lion v10.7.x installed on an Intel processor and cannot open or read ClarisWorks files as such.
However, you may be able to reformat to RTF > AppleWorks: Document Recovery Techniques
The issue is going to be migrating files since you can't use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac
