Can't see windows computer on my mac book
how to network windows pc and mac book on connected same router ( network ) . From PC I can see all the another PC but macbook. In Macbook nothing... Please help
Thanks
Laxman
There's no firewall on the PC , and the folders are set for sharing. Problem I have is that when I look in the Go Menu in the finder there is no "Connect to Servers" option shown
If I click on the Network icon in the side bar of a finder window, I do see "Servers' (which contains my Mac only), "Workgroup" (which is empty and I think was where the PC folders used to show up) and "My Network" (also empty).
I can Ping the PC and trace the route to it using Network Tools, so it appears that the TCP/IP connectivity is there.

I was told I may need to buy a hard copy of windows 7 and install it on my new mac book pro13 using Bootcamp via an external cd drive
You should try asking in the Boot Camp forum where the Boot Camp gurus hang out. Your issue has been discussed there many times.

Can you see windows files on the mac side
Macbook pro is having bootup issues. Can the files on the windows (bootcamp) side be seen from the mac side?
Need to backup some files on the windows side and can not boot up.
Thanks,
zPeterAs Csound1 has stated, MacOS should have read only access to your Windows partitions, so as long as you haven't damaged the partitions too severely, you should be able to read the files, and therefore copy them off to another drive as a backup.
Since your system won't boot, only you can tell if the partition is damaged bad enough that the MacOS system can't access the data on that partition. -
After i install window 8.1, i can't see window icon in my start up disk, i see only mac icon 10.10, but i can see both mac and win icon in my window boot camp control. i want to see window icon in my mac Yosemite 10.10.2,system preference, start up disk.
Third-party NTFS software interferes with the Apple NTFS drivers, which control whether you can see the Bootcamp partition in the Startup Disk option. As a test, can you uninstall all third-party NTFS software and check System Preferences -> Startup Disk?

Can't see Windows machines in Finder/Shared
I have upgraded to 10.5.2 and can't see Windows machines on my local network in the shared panel of finder. I can connect to the machines using their IP address in using the Go to server command and the IP address then shows in the finder. I want the windows machines to show by their name, automatically, in the finder pane as they should.
All machines on the network have assigned ip addresses by in the router.Hello
In the DNS settings of your router there should be two options:
1. DNS server set by ISP
2. Enter DNS server manually
If you have set option 2 and you use a service such as Open DNS or if you have 1 and your ISP offers a rubbish DNS server when you try to connect from finder the DNS server tries to resolve the name of the machine gives you a wrong IP address and after a long time waiting you get a connection error.
Solution:
1. Try to eliminate open dns and use the ISP dynamically set DNS server
2. If 1 still gives a problem (your ISP DNS is rubbish) and you have assigned static IP to your machines follow those instructions:
a. Enter as administrator in each MAC OS X 10.5 machine and open the terminal
b. enter the following command at the prompt: sudo pico /etc/hosts
c. insert an entry for each of your other computers followed by the computer name
d. save the file and reboot the machine
e. You should now see the other computers on the finder bar and be able to connect using SMB://SERVERNAME provided all computers are in the same workgroup
f. repeat the process for the other MAC OS X 10.5 machines -
I recently switched from a Windows computer to a Mac and the folk at the Apple Store copied my documents and music files to the new Mac. All of my music that I had on ITunes on the Windows computer was transferred, including all the purchased music. The only thing that wasn't transferred were my extensive playlists, which I've spent years creating. I figured I could do it with my IPod and I was about to synch my IPod with the new Mac, when I saw the message advising me that everything on the IPod would be erased including, presumably, the existing playlists. Now, I realize I could simply print out what's on the playlists from my old Windows computer and manually recreate the playlists, but that would be a laborious pain in the butt. There's gotta be a simpler way but so far so one seems to be able to tell me what it is. A few people have told me there's no way to do it, but I have to believe there's a way because it would be foolish and dumb for there not to be. Any ideas? Thanks.
There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and clone playlists from an iPod. You could start your research with the three below, I believe they can all copy playlists and other data. If you search the web I'm sure you'll find others:

iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

Can i install mac osx back again after installing windows 7 on my mac book a1181?
i have apple mac book a1181 white, but i had problem logging on as it was secured by a password, and i allready lost my recovery dvd, so i installed windows 7 on my mac book a1181 by deleting its partition from GTP to NTFS but i experienced problems after installing windows 7 as sound was not comming as i could not find sound drivers for macintosh, so now i plan again to restore my apple macbook a1181 back by reinstalling mac osx 10.5.8, how can i again install mac osx on my notebook and is it possible to re-install mac on my notebook? please give me some help.
Insert your OS X install disc and restart holding the C key, hold it down until you see the Apple logo and spinning gear. Choose your language and at the next screen from the top menu bar select Utilities-Disk Utility. Select your internal hard drive, click on the Partition tab and select 1 partition. Click on the Options button and select GUID partition scheme. Click OK. Choose to format the drive as Mac OS Extended Journaled. When Disk Utility is done and your drive is properly partitioned and formatted quit DU and go back to the installer screen and reinstall OS X. When you're up and running run software update a couple times to get everything up to date as far as you can with 10.5.8. Then consider upgrading to OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard for $19.99 here http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

How can i run a windows based program on mac book pro
Can I run a windows based program on mac book pro mountain lion 10.8.4
You can use bootcamp to install windows natively on the hard drive. You then choose which OS you wish to use at startup - OS X or Windows.
You can also install Windows in a virtual machine - Parallels or VMWare Fusion - and run it simultaneously with OS X (a virtual machine is just a PC emulated in software, and you install and run windows in the emulated machine hardware). -
If I use Bootcamp, can I get Windows viruses on my Mac?
I am using Mac OS X 10.8.3. I am about to install Windows 7 on my iMac with Bootcamp. Can I get Windows virus on my Mac because of Bootcamp?
If you do, it'll only affect the Windows partition of your hard drive.
If you feel really worried, I'd suggest running Windows in a virtual machine using Parallels or similar. You can set things up so that there's no access to your Mac from the virtual machine and, if the VM gets a problem, you can just delete it.
