Connecting to IMAC transitioning from windows xp

I am trying to download all my music from my ipod into itunes from my new imac. I do not know how to do this since it used to be connected to a windows xp system. can anybody help me please?

Try Senuti.
It's a program that transfers music from iPod to iTunes on a Mac.
As is Music Rescue.
Both of these should work with a Windows formatted iPod because Macs can read and write to FAT32 formatted drives.

Can't connect to iMac wirelessly from Windows XP laptop

I am trying to connect my laptop with Windows XP wirelessly to my iMac for internet access.
I am able to connect to my iMac with my iPhone, iPod touch and another friends iPhone, and I have access without any issues. (Of course!)
I have deleted out the wireless accounts completely in the PC and rebooted. Tried again, and the PC sees my iMac's SSID. I click on connect and I input the network key as I have it set for WEP security. It takes a while to try to connect then it seems to time out.
On my iMac I have internet and file sharing enabled. I have also enabled Share files and folders using SMB (Windows).
I know that the PC is also able to connect to open networks without security.
My iMac is plugged into the modem, and I am using Airport for the wireless access point. I have unplugged the modem and let it sit for a few minutes then plugged it back in along with a restart.
I have tried to find information reading through various forums but the answer is eluding me. Help or a nudge in the right direction would truly be appreciated!

Welcome to the Apple DIscussions!
If the other wireless devices have no issues connecting wirelessly to your Mac's shared internet connection then it is most likely configured it properly, so the issue would be with the PC's configuration.
Have you tested the network without security? Does the PC connect and have access to the internet? If so then you may be using a WEP key that the PC cannot use. Non-Apple devices need a 5 character password for a 40 bit WEP key and a 13 character password for a 128 bit WEP key. Those instructions show in AirPort Options of the Sys Prefs/Sharing pane when you configure Internet sharing from Ethernet to AirPort.

Accessing a USB hard drive connected to a AEBS from Windows XP SP2

Hi everybody my problem is this, I am using the AEBS. I have an iMac G5 and a Sony vaio laptop running Windows XP SP2. After some initial problems both connect to the Internet and if I attach a USB printer to the AEBS both allow you to print remotely however if I attach an external hard drive only the iMac can access it. The airport disk agent for Windows pops up that a disk has become available but when you try to access it you get an alert message that says, “unknown user, incorrect password, or login is disabled. Please retype login information or contact the disk’s administrator.” If you click on the preferences in Airport Disk, in Windows, no disk is visible although the disk is visible in the Airport Utility! I have tried different hard drives and all the different settings in the Airport Utility for accessing a USB hard drive connected to the AEBS and get the same message regardless. HELP1

Hi John,
My hard drive is already formatted to fat 32. If I "check disks" in AirPort Utillity in windows it see's the disk and knows how much free and used space there is on it. It also knows when I'm accessing the disk from my iMac but when I try to connect to the hard drive from windows I just get the error message in my first post. When I click on AirPort Disk in windows my base station name doesn't appear, it does on my mac. I tried you suggestion but it hasn't helped. Thanks anyway. If you've got any other suggestion i'll gladly give them a try.
Thanks again.

Windows storage server 2012 share not connecting by share name but connecting thru IP address from windows XP machines

We have a windows storage server 2012 (HP storage server) in our domain. All of sudden We had a issue, connecting the server shares using the share name only from XP machines, but it is connecting through IP address with a delayed response. We are getting
the below error message from all the windows XP SP2 machines in our domain.
"\\<share name> is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have a access permissions.
Login Failure: The target account name is incorrect."
But it is connecting while we are trying from windows 7 machines. Also the other server shares (Windows 2003 server) are connecting without any issues using the share name. In addition to this we gave everyone permission for this share. And it worked
well before but not now. Could you please suggest any solution for this complex issue?
Thanks,

Connect SQL Server 2012 from Windows Server 2003 with native client 9.0

Hi,
I currently have a setup where ETL tool Ab Intio, running on a Linux server, connects to the SQL Server 2005 through a passthrough Wintel server with Windows Server 2003 OS using SQL server native client 9.0
Now I have the requirement to upgrade the SQL server from 2005 to 2012.
My question is, will it be possible to connect to SQL server 2012 through Windows Server 2003 with native client 9.0?
As per the specs, I need native client 11.0+ to fully support SQL Server 2012, but then, as per specs, native client 11.0 doesnot run on Windows server 2003. OS upgradation is currently not on the cards.
So will it be possible to the run the basic queries we use currently, if we can connect SQL server 2012 through Windows Server 2003 with native client 9.0/10.0, without updgrading the OS of the Wintel server?
Thanking you in advance!

Hi Soumya,
Yes, you can use the SQL Server Native Client shipped with SQL Server 2005 to connect to a SQL Server 2012 instance, and there is no need to upgrade the operating system.

Can only connect to smb share from Windows as "nobody"

I'm trying to share some folders on my Mac using samba. When I connect from Windows, I do not get asked for a username and password, and I get connected as a guest user (nobody). What do I do to get connected as a real user? I've tried playing with /etc/smb.conf, but I'm not sure what to change.

when you enable smb in haring system preferences on your mac, did you check the box to enable smb on a specific account?
if you did, when you initiate smb from windows try entering
smb://[email protected]
instead of
smb://mac.ip.address

Transition from Windows XP to Mac OS X

I would like information on how to transition my lightroom library and photos from Windows XP to Mac OS X. I am concerned about maintaining my virtual images as well as library settings.

>Leopard can display seemingly inexplicable problems by something as simple as plugging an incompatible device into a USB hub.
And Windows is somehow immune from such problems - I don't think so.

Trouble connecting to Mac VPN from Windows box

I have a Mac OS X server with VPN services turned on. Both IPSec L2TP and PPTP are enabled.
From a remote office ( Across the hall and different IP address / network ) I can connect to the VPN from a Mac G5 no problem ( Using PPTP ) actually ANY Mac remotely with no problem.
However, I cannot connect using either PPTP or L2TP with a Windows machine. I get the following error
Error 691: Access was denied because the username and/or password was invalid on the domain.
There is a AD/DC windows box on the network I am trying to VPN in..... however, the router is set to send all VPN traffic to the Mac not the Windows box.
Any ideas? (if you need further information, let me know. )

Newb Questions - Transition from Windows to OSX

Hi, i still use windows on my PC but i would like to set up my OSX to operate in the same ways for some things.
1. Home / End keys on keyboard how can i change those to operate how they would on windows where when focusing on text clicking those keys takes you to the end of the line or the beginning. I tried changing my preferences like a couple sites said but it doesnt seem to work in anything but firefox.
2. When clicking on a ICON from the DOCK i would like it to open a new instance of the APP. For example i already have firefox open and i click on the firefox icon on the dock, i want it to open a new instance of the app, not bring the current instance of the app to focus.
3. I cant for the life of me figure out how to configure button 4 & 5 on my mouse. Mainly i want to use them for going forward/backwards like when browsing or evening using Finder.
4. When you have multiple versions of an app open you can visually see this in the Windows Task bar, is it possible to set up the DOCK or some 3rd party app to support that? I have 4 ICONS on my DOCK and thats all ill ever have so im not worried about space.
5a. When using spaces and i have lets say in section #1 firefox open and i move to section #2 and trying to open firefox it will just go back to section #1 and bring firefox to focus. So i would instead like it to open a new instance of the APP i click in that space.
5b. Is it at all possible with spaces to take a current instance of a program and somehow move it to a different space?
Thanks for any help, im new to OSX and MAC's and i hope i posted this in the correct place.

Transition from Windows-based network to Linux-based

I am looking to make the switch from a Windows based network to a Linux based one. Currently the network includes a Windows 2003 server which acts as a domain controller and file server, a network shared printer (Canon 2300N) and 7 clients running Windows. Several other Windows-based clients connect remotely via RDP.
I would like to setup a server to act as a domain controller, file server, and (if possible) terminal server. The clients should be authenticated via the server and have access to the files stored on it (via ssh?).
Here are several points that I was wondering about:
All the clients use Outlook, some of the clients run Quickbooks Pro and another program called Tentant File Pro. I was thinking about replacing Outlook with Thunderbird (I contact, calendar, and tasks) and I know that Wine can't run Quickbooks and Tenant File Pro so I may have to use VirtualBox/VMWare because these applications can't be replaced by native Linux versions.
I need an adequate backup solution for the files on the server running as a daily backup.
Should I use webmin to administer the server?
What antivirus / firewall solution should I use for the server and the clients?
How can I allow remote clients the login to the server to be able to run applications (Outlook, Browser, Tenant File Pro, etc.) remotely on the server?
What is the best solution for this? And what would be the least painful way of making the transition for the users?
I know this is a lot, but any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Probably not Arch if you just want to dump all these questions on the community rather than research it all individually yourself.
Perhaps Turnkey Linux would be suitable to get you up and running:

Connect Oracle 9 client from windows 2012 server to 9.0 oracle database

I have windows 2012 64 bit with installed oracle 9.0 32 bit client
and i want to connect to oracle 9.0 64 bit server installed on windows 2003 R2 64 bit
Is it possible to make this connection because when i have tried to connect received this error ORA-06413 connection is not open

I know that oracle client 9.2.0 is too old but company about i work have tests which run on this systemIf you are stuck using antiquated versions of software, the company really ought to stick to antiquated versions of the operating system as well. Trying to combine versions of the Oracle client that weren't even certified on Windows 2003 with a bleeding edge Windows 2012 system is a recipe for pain and suffering. Even if you appear to get things working, there are any number of bugs that will likely crop up over time due to the massive version incompatibility.
If i understood right i can't make connection between oracle 9.2.0 32 bit client installed on windows 2012 to connect to oracle server 10 i?As others have pointed out, you probably can though you'll need to change the firewall rules. As others have stated, the firewall changes you'll need to make should probably be the same for a 9.2 client and a 10.2 client. But if you're determined to work with highly unsupported combinations of software, you're likely to have to embrace the idea that you're going to be blazing some new trails and that you'll have to spend a decent amount of time debugging issues that arise from your very unique combination.

IMac Disconnects from Windows Network

I'm running into an issue on companies network where every time the computer goes to sleep (say we go out to lunch) and then wake it back up, the Mac disconnects from the windows network and share drives and needs to be restarted in order to get it to connect again. I've tried browsing the network in the finder and try connecting but it just seems to loop forever and never really connects.
I tried doing a search on this but couldn't find the best way to describe the problem. Are there any others runnning into this situation or are there other forum posts that are related to this issue?
Thank you!

Hi WhoButSB-
That is probably something your IT folks will have to correct.
The lease granted by the DHCP server is set to cut the connection loose after a period of inactivity or when the Mac sleeps and that period of time is apparently reached when you go to lunch.

Transition from Windows 2003 Terminal Sever to Mac Server

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have.
We currently have a Windows 2003 terminal server hosted remotely, it's only function is to serve Quickbooks enterprise and to store documents, with a maximum of 8 simutaneous connections.
We would like to eliminate this service and do everything in-house with a Mac server. All of our 8 employees are now on Mac.
Here is my question: What would the ideal setup be? The problem is that Quickbooks is a Windows version. The Mac version is not as robust as we need so we need to stay with the Windows version.
Do we install Quickbooks on a virtual install of Windows on the Mac server using terminal service? Or should we install Quickbooks on each users Mac with virtual Windows and every file save, saved to the server without a windows install?
Thanks again for any advise!
John

The quick answer is to move the server to you location. Now I am sure that statement alone will generate all kinds of responses. So I will attempt to explain my position:
1. Running QBE on a virtual server on a Windows system is not eagerly supported by Intuit much less running it on a virtual system on a Mac.
We would like to eliminate this service and do everything in-house with a Mac server. All of our 8 employees are now on Mac.
Here is my question: What would the ideal setup be? The problem is that Quickbooks is a Windows version. The Mac version is not as robust as we need so we need to stay with the Windows version.
2. The Ideal setup would be to have QBE running on a Windows Server (that you own and control) and continue to access it via RDP.
Do we install Quickbooks on a virtual install of Windows on the Mac server using terminal service? Or should we install Quickbooks on each users Mac with virtual Windows and every file save, saved to the server without a windows install?
3. Unfortunately QBE is not designed to work in that manner – both QBE and QB require a ‘QuickBooks’ data server this in turn requires a Windows box of some type. Also are you using the SQL Version of QBE as this will also impact which way you should go.
4. Though you could install Windows on all your Macs the cost to do so would be more that purchasing a Windows Server and managing it yourself.
- $80 ea for Parallels $640
- $299 ea for Windows XP $2392
I did not include Windows Server /w TS CALs as you will need to purchase this regardless which method you select – though purchasing Windows with a server is considerably cheaper than buying retail.
Finally I can understand your desire to work in a homogonous environment, though I am concerned that the amount of time required getting QBE running within a virtual environment be it Windows or Mac and installing Windows on your Macs may consume more time than you may be able to take away from your business.
Respectfully –
