Can't connect two G5s

Hi!
My partner has just bought a G5 with 10.4.9 and we're having a little difficulty connecting.
I used to connect to his G4 like so: finder > go > network… But now when I try the exact same thing I can see his new computer icon, but when I click on it, up pops a window called SMB/CIFS File System Authentication. Some things in that box are filled in... but when I type in my password it says that "the alias could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found".
I did once connect as a guest and was able to put files into his drop box; but we need to access each others macs more thoroughly.
Any suggestions much appreciated.
Lesley

Did u checked if AFP protocol enabled or disabled?
go to System Preferences > sharing > check File Sharing > highlight it and click Options > check Share files and folders using AFP.
go to Finder and press Apple key + K
write afp://ur friend's IP address or computer name/
hope that's help you.

    Can I connect two apple tv on same network and same apple ID at a time ?

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    Yes you can do all that without needing to keep plugging things in and out. You will still need to manually turn on the receiver and turn down the volume from the tv though.

  • Can I connect two monitors to a Mac Mini?

    Can I connect two Monitors to a mac mini

    Yes, but how depends on what model of Mini and what kind of monitors.  Early models only had one monitor port.  Later models had a Mini-DVI port and a Mini-Displayport.  Current models have a Mini-Displayport and a HDMI port.  The Mini-DVI and Mini-Displayport can attach VGA or DVI monitors, whereas the HDMI port can't use VGA monitors.
    Beyond that, you can get Matrox's DualHead2Go or a USB->VGA or USB->DVI adapter.  The Matrox product is a bit expensive and the USB adapters are a bit to slow for games and such.  So, again, the answer is "yes", but with limitations

    how can I connect two thunderbolt monitors to my macmini in windows 8 and bootcamp? Works fine in OSX

    Did you try to hook up both monitors to the Belkin adaptor? Trying will determine if your monitor has a bad input port. See if the Belkin adaptor is the problem. I have never used that specific adaptor, but I have always had luck with the Dr. Bott's DVI for ADC adaptor. Best of luck.

  • Can i connect two monitors to my mac book pro with HDMI?

    can i connect two monitors to my mac book pro with HDMI?

    I retract my previous "No." If you can live with limited performance (slow refresh/choppy action video/no gaming) on the second external monitor, you could use a USB video adapter and a DVI-HDMI adapter to connect it to a USB port on your computer.

    Just a note about the system information that appears below your post: iOS 4.3.3 does not run on Macs, only on iPods, iPads and iPhones. When you're posting about your MBP, it would be more useful to those responding to know which version of Mac OS X you're running. Doesn't matter for purposes of this post, but something to remember for future posts.

  • Can I connect two macs with thunder bolt ?

    can i connect two macs with thunderbolt like I do with firewire and IP? I don't want to transfer files by using the control "T" at startup . I want use VNC to control one mac from the other and use thunderbolt vs ethernet.

    You can connect the two.  Whether you can use VNC, I have no idea.

  • Can I connect two firewire devices?

    Ideally, I need two firewire devices running at the same time: One camera to capture footage and one firewire external hard disk for the media files (about 160 GB).
    a) I've been told that I need a firewire external disc, because a USB hard disk would slow down the editing in Final Cut. Is this true?
    b) If so, can I connect two firewire devices to my MBP (74.53 GB internal hard disk), which has only one 400 Firewire port?

    1. Yes, FireWire is faster than USB. However, it would be better to edit on your main hard drive. Use the external drive just for storage and backup.
    2. You can chain up to 255 FireWire devices provided the total power requirements did not exceed the port's capabilities. A single FireWire drive and a camera shouldn't be a problem. However, you should know that some FireWire cameras may not play well with other FireWire devices. If you find apparent problems when both are connected to the port, then you may need to use each separately. In this case you may need to put the hard drive on a USB port while the camera is connected to the FireWire port unless the camera also supports transfers on USB 2.0.

  • Can I connect two computers to one device?

    Can I connect two computers to one device? I am trying to have them control different aspects of the experiment that I'm running.

    That depends upon the device. If it's GPIB, you could
    use the E-NET card to convert it to LAN. That would
    allow control by many computers. The only problem with
    that might be sychronization. That is, Computer 1 does
    its setup. Then Computer 2 does a reset. Compuer 1's
    setup is now gone.
    As another poster suggested, you could always network
    between the two computers.

  • How can I connect two PS3 to the same Linksys WRT54G correctly

    Hi,
    i'm trying to connect two PS3 to the same routeur without having conflicts. Everytime i try to update my game softwares it tells me error 80710723 or now 8002AD23. I gave the two PS3 different IP adresses, i opened all the ports that Playstation suggested me to open (http://playstation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/241) and gave them different DNS adresses but still they cannot download any software content without bugging the console. I also use a PC, Tablet and Phone with my wireless connection.
    thank you
    -François

    Well in this case the error code (80710723 ) is generated when the internet connection is slow. So you can try the following step:
    # Open up the browser and on the address bar type 192.168.1.1 that will open up the Router setup page.
    # Lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) from 1500 to 1400 or less (usually found on your router's main/ basic setup page)
    # Make the Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
    #Adjust the following advanced wireless settings:
    ~~ Lower the beacon interval from 100 to 75
    ~~ Lower the fragmentation threshold from 2346 to 2306
    ~~ Lower the RTS threshold from 2347 to 2304

  • With MacBooks Retina 13" can you connect two external monitors with resolution each 2560x1600?

    I'm not talking about Thunderbolt displays, but other brands like ASUS, LG, SAMSUNG, etc.
    Has anyone tested?

    You can connect two displays to the two Thunderbolt ports with appropriate Mini DisplayPort cables or adapters.
    <http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/>
    "Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on up to two external displays"
    If the display supports HDMI, you could connect one to the computer's HDMI port, but not at 60Hz.
    "Support for 3840-by-2160 resolution at 30Hz"

  • Can I connect two non-TB external displays to a new MBP?

    Looking to pick up a new MBP and I would like to connect two non-Thunderbolt monitors, they are nice but WAY too expensive, and I'm wondering if this is possible.  I know I can use Matrox Head2Go line of products, but I would like to avoid shelling out another 2-300 on other hardware if I can avoid it. 
    So any other ways to drive two monitors?   I'm surprised there is no Thunderbolt -> DVI adapter or something.  Heck maybe there is, but I haven't seen it yet.
    Thanks

    here is the adapter your were looking for http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/A
    you'll also need to consider getting something that supports usb to dvi which will make your third monitor connnected via a usb port. This uses DisplayLink Drivers which let you connect a monitor via usb. Warning, it does not have full support for Lion yet.
    I'm using the arkview usb display adapter. there are other on the market, they all use DisplayLink. And since I'm on Lion I'm waiting for DisplayLink to fix their drivers to work on it (it's been a struggle).
    If you're on Snow Leopard it will do you well to stay on it. .
    you could get on Thunderbolt display and then connect a monitor to that with the dongle I showed you. Then you will have no issues with Lion and your three displays.
    Thunderbolt tech is new and new adapters will be coming out for it, especially something that handles mutliple screens. but you'll have to wait for this technology to be made.
