Can't get eMac onto existing network

Hi,
I have an iMac G5 running Tiger 10.4.9 in my home office connected to a BT Homehub broadband modem / router via an ethernet cable.
My wife uses an eMac 1GHz G4 running Panther 10.3.9 in a nearby bedroom that connects to the internet via Airport Express through the BT modem.
I recently bought a MacBook Core2Duo running 10.4.9 and connect to the internet via Airport & the BT modem.
I have successfully created a network between the iMac and the MacBook wirelessly but cannot connect to the eMac with either.
The Mac's are all named differently but we have the same admin password for all three Macs. The eMac 'sees' the other two Macs but when I click on connect for either under Finder - network when asked for a password on the eMac the password is incorrect so cannot connect.
I have no idea what this other password could be, when or how I set it. The eMac works flawlessly otherwise and connects to the internet no problem.
Any advice would be most welcome. Many thanks for reading this.

In paragraph 4, you say that you cannot connect to the eMac when initiating a connection from either the iMac or the MacBook. Then in paragraph 5, you say the eMac sees the iMac and the MacBook but it cannot connect to either one.
So, just to make sure I understand, you cannot connect to anything from the eMac nor can you connect to the eMac from anything, i.e., both directions to/from the eMac are dead?
In either case, following on with Robbie's post, you are specifying either the short username or the long user name of the user account that you want to access on the destination machine when attempting to login?

    Did you go into iTunes to change the location of your media files? if not you will need to go into iTunes and click on preference and select the advance tab then click the iTunes Media folder location.  Select the location of your on external hard drive. 

  • How can I get Minecraft onto my Macbook Pro?

    How can I get Minecraft onto my Macbook Pro? It is 15 inch Retina display, and it is Version 10.9.1 . I download the game, log in and press play, but as soon as it finishes loading, the blue bar goes away and nothing else happens!
    It goes from this:
    To this:
    And on the development console it says this:

    Hello EpicEmma,
    I just had this problem today!, but i have a SOLUTION ,
    right click the finder icon and click "go to folder"
    type : "~Library/ Application Support
    Find the minecraft folder, Backup your Saves, (drag the saves folder onto the desktop) *OPTIONAL*
    delete the minecraft folder, not the application.
    Open the minecraft Launcher (it will take a while to start up)
    Put in login info and when its loaded up, press "play"
    The blue bar will take a minute or two...
    And then... it should start normally
    U dont need to repeat the steps every time u open Minecraft. You can later replace the saves folder with the new one back to where it was whenever you want at the same place where it used to be before. Hope this helped!

    Hi there,
    You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
    You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
    Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
    Nathan

  • After loading yosemite can't get permissions from any network PC - OK from MACs on network...any advice?

    after loading yosemite can't get permissions from any network PC - OK from MACs on network...any advice?

    would love to...way over my head so far...upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 - I have another MAC (motorola chipset...maybe 10.6?) and 3 PCs on the network...the older MAC linked up through the network just fine...
    I can see the Yosemite MAC on the PCs...I can open customer file folders (I am a printer) from the shared drive...I can drag files (let's just call them PDFs, they mostly are) to the MAC customer file...but if I try to open them from the PC I get an error message that says permission denied - or may be in use by another user. There are no other users. After I uploaded to Yosemite, I noticed most if not all drives and or folders had permissions changed to either no access or to read only...I've changed as many as I could find...drives, and folders...I can open those same files if I'm on the yosemite mac...Here's the catch, though...I was on a different floor and that PC can open a PDF on the Yosemite...but the RIP that prints our large format prints now won't print those files (whole RIP locks up) unless they are first dragged to the PC desktop...then all is fine. I thought it was MAC upgrade oriented, but I do have a PC that halfway works...I'm really stymied...

  • Can't get Bluberry iMac on network

    Got a Bluberry iMac and can't seem to get it to see my existing Airport network. Purchased and installed an Airport card and adapter for it. Airport is on, but it can't seem to pick up the network even when only 3 feet away from base station. I even disabled my basestation security settings to see if it could pick it up. No dice. How do I figure out if the card actually works?
    I reinstalled the OS(to an older version 10.2) since thats all I had(came with 10.3.7). I can't even connect to my network via ether net cable to the netgear switch. I have an ethernet cable connected but for some reason it can't seem to find it.
    I'm stumped.it should not be this hard.
    My network setup is Earthlink DSL into my snow airport station which distrubutes IP addresses and is connected to a Netgear switch. I already have an AL 15 Powerbook and a Ti667 set up on the same network via airport that works just fine.
    Clues? How do I check that the airport card is indeed working? Why wont even cabled ether net not work?

    The instructions are in KB 58537, iMac (Slot Loading): Installing or replacing an AirPort Card. Take a look at steps 8-10.
    That still does not explain my inability to get the ethernet connection running via direct connection to the switch(which is downstream from the Snow Airport base station).
    Either you have the wrong type of Ethernet cable, or the Ethernet port is broken. Your iMac does not have an autosensing Ethernet port therefore you need the correct type of Ethernet cable for the situation. A direct connection to an Ethernet switch requires an Ethernet patch cable (straight through). Some situations require an Ethernet crossover cable.

  • How can I get music onto my 2nd gen iPod Touch?

    My mum recently gave me her old iPod, a 2nd gen. My sister tried to upgrade it up to iOS 5 but couldn't.
    Every time I plug my iPod into charge it pops up in iTunes saying, "This iPod cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.1 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest vesion of iTunes."
    Alls well saying that, but my problem is I'm running on version 10.4.11 Snow Tiger on a MacBook Pro.
    When I go to download the iTunes it states that I need version 10.6.11 Snow Leopard.
    My mother and sister both have Snow Leopard and Snow Lion but they will not let me use their iTunes.
    What I need to know if there is anyway that I can get music onto my iPod without purchseing songs from the iTunes store.
    Can anyone help?
    Regards,
    inezkazan.

    I realized that.
    This has been an outstanding problem for many months.
    All I would like to know is if I can put music onto it atall..
    Thanks.

  • HT4007 How can I get Aperture onto my new Macbook Pro 15" Retina that DOESN'T have a superdrive from my 5 year old Macbook Pro?  I still have the CD and serial number for Aperture. HELP! PLEASE!!

    Like the thread topic says. I need help getting Aperture onto my new macbook pro that does not have a drive. I have no need for a drive after this to be honest just need my programs back on it. Thanks.

    Two options:
    Make a disk image or a clone of the installer CD on your Mac that has a super drive - you can create a disk image using Disk Utility or use Carbon Copy Cloner (if you have it) to clone the DVD to a thumbsdrive. Then run the installer on your MBY from this copy.
    Or download the Trial Installer and install from there:
    Download the Aperture 3.1 Trial.  http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Aperture/061-8328 .20101020.AprE3/ApertureTrial3.1.dmg
    Open the Aperture Trial disc image.
    Double-click the "Aperture Trial.mpkg" file.
    Follow the onscreen instructions to install Aperture.
    After the installation completes, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu.
    Install the Aperture 3.4 update from the list of available updates.

  • Can't get music onto iphone

    I have a whole library of songs on my itunes library. I got them all on my ipod ok but I cannot get them onto my iphone.
    Please help

    Have you sync'd your iTunes library with your iPhone? Most of the time music etc. is grayed out for the iPhone/iPod if you have it set to automatically sync. The only time it's not grayed out is if you've checked the option to "manage music manually". That may be why it's not letting you move it over manually. However if you've already sync'd it I don't know why you'd be trying to move stuff over manually anyway.
    You can also transfer items you bought on your iphone (like your iBook) to your iTunes library. Just click "File" then click "Transfer items from iPhone".
    Good luck!

  • Can't get ibooks onto new macbook pro

    Hi
    I got myself a new macbook pro set it up and all great ibooks came up right away but my sister in law got the same macbook pro as i but i cannot get ibooks onto it, i have been to the app store but its not there i really cannot remember howi got mine onto my macbook, i think its when i set my macbook pro it asks you questions and then to setup your apple id in the set up process, well we had difficulty in trying to sign her in as it would not accept the password, even tho i have gone into iTunes and signed her in ok but not in set up, so we skipped that, so now we cannot put her iPad onto the iTunes on macbook either, is that why we cannot load the ibooks app onto the macbook because we cannot get her iPad hooked to iTunes,?
    gosh hope you can understand me again lol
    I have just asked a question about the set up so sorry i am repeating my self but this one was about the ibooks.
    Hope you can help.
    many thanks

    Hello Traceykate,
    iBooks for Mac is part of the OS X Mavericks. Check to see what version of OS X you and your sister are running. If you one of them is not updated, then go to the Mac App Store and download OS X Mavericks and you should be able to have iBooks. Check out the articles below for more information about iBooks for Mac, how to check what version of OS X you are running and a link to download Mavericks.

  • Can't Get Blackberry Onto The Internet

    Hi Everyone!
    Sorry if this has been asked before. I've been given a Blackberry Pearl on the T Mobile network. My SIM card is on Virgin UK so it lets me make calls and receive text messages but whenever I try to get on the internet it says there's a problem and to talk to my service provider.
    I've spoken to Virgin who said the following settings need to be entered but I can't find where to do it, all the places I've tried haven't worked. If I can't get on the internet with Virgin I'll have to move to another network, I just want to try everything before I have to do that! Thanks so much for any help you can give - Virgin gave me the below settings:
    GPRS:
    Name - Virgin WAP GPRS.
    Homepage - www.virgin.com/mobile/wap/
    IP Address - 193.030.166.003
    Access Point - goto.virginmobile.uk
    Port - 9201
    Username - user
    Password - leave blank
    Some phones need slightly different settings so, if those settings don't work for you, try entering the following:
    GPRS:
    Name - Virgin WAP GPRS
    Homepage - www.virgin.com/mobile/wap/
    IP Address - 193.030.166.004
    Access Point - goto.virginmobile.uk
