File sharing with 10.2.8 and 10.5.4

im running 10.2.8 on my iBook G3 Clamshell, and i want to share files with my MacBook running 10.5.4. I can access my iBook through my MacBook, but i can't figure out how to access my MacBook through my iBook. How do i do this?

I don't run 10.2, but I experienced the same problem with 10.3, able to connect the G4 to the Intel but not the other way around.
After trying various things, this technique worked for me.
Obviously you have file sharing enabled on the Intel.
Then go to its System Preferences > Security > Firewall, and select Allow all Incoming connections which essentially turns Leopard's Application Firewall off.
Close Sys. Prefs.
Now on the G3 Connect to Server, choosing the correct name for the Intel, and you should be able to connect. Open a file on the MacBook just to confirm it.
Then on the MacBook, open Sys. Prefs again and then change your firewall setting to the third setting, Set Access ....
Close Sys. Prefs.
Back on the G3, select the mounted MacBook network and eject it.
Once again Connect to Server, and it should do so, this time with the MacBook's firewall active.

  • How do i use file sharing with my microsoft pc and mac book?

    I have a windows vista pc that my daughter uses and I have a macbook pro and we want to use file sharing for our itunes libararys.  We connect to internet with my time capsule.  I have both computers itunes file sharing turned on but I can't seem to be able to see them on the network. can someone give me some pointers on how to make this work.  thanks

    The best way I know is to sign up for iTunes Match.  All your music is stored in the cloud and can be accessed by up to 10 devices.

  • Need help file sharing with a powermac G4 and ibook

    I need to transfer files from my G4 to an ibook. I am using ethernet slot B on the G4 and the ibook has an airport card. I also have a router. Does anyone have an easy way to do this? I want to set up a connection between these two computers without using the internet. Appletalk is active on the g4, and file sharing is on yet the activity monitor does not show the ibook as a connected user. I tried to find the G4 on the ibook by connecting to server but it does not recognize the g4 when I either type the name of the computer or browse the network. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Would a CD writer for the G4 be a better option?
    Thank you.

    If you are running Mac OS before 9 and trying to connect to Mac OS after 10.3, you will not be able to do it without additional software.
    If you connect the iBook to the router with an Ethernet cable, you may be more successful, as some routers do not pass AppleTalk packets from wireless to wired.
    The FireWire approach will also work, and yes, it mounts the other computer's drives on your desktop.

  • Problems with IPhone 5 and File Sharing with ITunes

    I am using an app that let's you create ringtones. Once created you are supposed to be able to see the songs in the file sharing part of the apps tab on IPhone device on ITunes. However, I can't scroll down to see my files. I can see the part that says apps that allow file sharing, but if I click and arrow down it only moves on the left part of the screen and changes the device to Genesis. I recently purchased a Mac, and this is the first time I am using ITunes with Mac and have this problem.

  • Macs and file sharing with Panasonic Lumix TS5

    I'm trying to set up this camera to send my photos wirelessly to my IMAC but have hit a brick wall.  The instructions with the camera state wifi sharing is supported with OS X 10.4 to 10.8, and I am running 10.75.  The instructions are simple: find the file and enable sharing.  I've completed all the steps, and my camera finds my Imac fine, but then cannot find the shared folder.
    I researched this and found that for a different Panasonic camera, despite what panasonic says, file sharing did not work for mac only environments. (http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3360154). I have contacted panasonic, and am beginning to believe the this is true for my camera as well.  I explained my problem and she first recommended to sign up for a lumix account.  Then it went from here:
    Kerry-Ann W.: In the setup it states where a lumix club account is required to send images to lumix club cloud
    Dave: Ok, do I understand correctly that I needed a lumix club account to transfer images wirelessly to my IMAC?
    Kerry-Ann W.: No I am not saying that. There is some sharing settings that needs to be set on your computer. We recommend that you contact apple so they can assist you in adjusting those settings.
    Dave: Ok, I've signed up for a lumix club account. Will that help me transfer my images to the mac?
    Kerry-Ann W.: We recommend that you contact apple so they can assist you in adjusting the sharing settings on your IMAC.
    Dave: Kerry-Ann, please help me. I've done exactly what the Lumix manual tells me to do with my mac and it's not working. You are supposed to help when the manual doesn't suffice. Isn't there any tips you can give me to try and make this work?
    Kerry-Ann W.: That is correct and based on checks done if it is not seeing your folders that means there needs to be some settings done on your computer for it to see the folders and if that is not done then you will not be able to see the folders.
    Dave: Ok, so will you help me get those settings done on my computer?
    Kerry-Ann W.: We recommend that you contact apple so they can assist you in adjusting those settings.
    I have no idea what settings she is referring to, and she offered no guidance at all.  Has anyone had any success file sharing with panasonic cameras?  Or has anyone else concluded this is hopeless?
    Thank you,
    Dave

    I have run through 2 of these cameras (1st one died-Epic Panasonic Fail) and I'm stoked I found the easy fix. No thanks to PaniCsonic.
    Connect your camera via USB to your MacBook. Don't worry that it won't show.
    Go to System Preferences under the 'Apple' icon (top left corner for any newbies)
    Select the 'Sharing' tab/folder (should be yellow diamond with a person walking to YOUR left direction)
    Select 'Internet Sharing'
    A sub menu 'To computers using' will open up to the right with 3 boxes/options:
    1) Firewire
    2) Ethernet
    3) Bluetooth PAN
    Select Bluetooth PAN box so it check marks as selected.
    Click the 'Internet Sharing' box.
    Select 'Start' when the prompt asks if you are sure you want to turn on Internet sharing.
    The 'Internet Sharing' box will then select.
    Your camera will then prompt you to select a USB mode. Select 'PC'.
    Wait through the access mode and VOILA, your photos will be uploaded straight to iPhoto as they should do in the first place.
    I like the camera for it's simplistic functionality. I had a slick Olympus underwater that had the same features, but was more time in navigating through them all. I don't like PaniCsonic for their poor foresight in making this camera an austosetup feature for Mac users. My iPhone didn't like it much either.
    Nonethless, there's the fix. For/from me.

  • HT204387 can we get apple to make a fix to download that would enable the bluetooth file sharing with any deivce?

    can we get apple to make a fix to download that would enable the bluetooth file sharing with any deivce? i would like to to stay with Apple iphone but if they dont improve the lack of features.. i will move on and I know im not the only person to think like this.
    regards
    gavin_p

    There is not "fix" to be provided, Apple made a decision to not include the file sharing profile.
    You are welcome to provide feedback, but after six years, I would not hold your breath.

  • File sharing with multiple users on one Mac

    I have two Macs, both of which ca seen each other across the network. My question regards file sharing with multiple users on the same computer. When file sharing, are the files from all users available across the network, or just those of the user presently logged in? The issue is that I am trying to access files from a user who isn't currently logged in, but another user on that computer is. I need to get into that person's documents, but I don't see a way to navigate to their documents folder.

    Right, I got that. But the computer is in constant use by User A, while I need access to User B's files. I could need access at anytime, and it would be a pain to make User A log off and log in as User B everytime. I was just wondering if there is anyway to access User B's files in this situation, without logging User B in.

  • Yosemite file sharing with windows credentials error

    Hello,
    While on Mavericks I successfully setup file sharing on my local networks and users on Windows based machines had no issues accessing it. The first time they would find it on their network it would ask them for the credentials I had setup for them as sharing only users on my Mac. However after upgrading to Yosemite while Windows based users can see my shared Mac on their Explorer Browser when they try to access it asks them for a username/password but fails each time stating that it is an incorrect username or password. I am able to access the Windows machine from the mac. I have turned off all firewalls. I have talked with support who viewed screens on both my Mac and the PC to see what was happening but was not able to offer any support. To me it looks like the credentials are either not being properly passed to the Mac running Yosemite or it does not understand the credentials.

    After spending some more time on this I ran the same text on another laptop. I setup file sharing and tried to access it from my Windows based machine. This has become rather frustrating and after iSO 8 nearly incapacitated my iPhone I am struggling to find the same love for my Apple devices that I did in the past.

  • File sharing with PC

    Hi,
    I'm new to the Mac experience and I'm trying to set-up file sharing with my MacBook and PC and I can't figure it out. I've tried entering the PC's IP address through the Finder - Connect to Server, but I can't get it working.
    I would appreciate any suggestions you have to offer! Thanks.

  • File sharing with accounts

    I currently have my TC configured for file sharing with a disk password. Lately, however, I find that I have a need to be able to restrict read/write access to certain folders and files based on the user. But, when I select File Sharing "With Accounts" from the drop down I get a warning message stating "Setting up user accounts will make any files already on AirPort disks inaccessible." Seems like a pretty vague warning considering the possible outcome!
    Does this mean I will lose access to all existing files already on the TC disk permanently, or just until I configure the accounts with access?
    Thanks for any insight.
    - Don

    Is the file sharing the same between the TC and the AirPort Extreme 802.11n (Gigabit Ethernet) with a USB2 connected disk?
    My experience is that the network share of the shared disk is different, but no files get lost. One can move between the security mechanisms without losing data. YMMV.
    Here are my findings in detail: I was using the shared disk "With a Disk Password". When connecting from a Mac, a single share called like the partition of the disk would automatically mount. On that disk I put some folders "Music" and "Videos" directly in the root of the mounted share. The same volume also had a backup copy of my Mac mini, that I did when it was still locally connected (USB2 directly to the mini) rather than via Disk sharing. From that time there is still a "Users" folders there. One important folder is called "Shared". All folders and their files are accessible.
    "Volumename" (share)
    - Music
    - Photos
    - Videos
    - Shared
    - Users
    When I changed from "With a disk password" to "With accounts", I also get the warning about "...will make any files already on AirPort disks inaccessible".
    After the change, I have no access to "Music", "Photos" or "Videos" anymore.
    However, there is still the share called "Volumename", but now it points to the sub folder "Shared" !!!!
    When connecting from either Windows or Mac I see two shares. One called "Volumename" and the other matching the user name. I think the user share actually points to /users/username.
    When switching back to "With a disk password", all is like it was before - no files are lost, the "Music", "Photos" and "Videos" folders stay there, and so does all their content.
    I will now try to move them into the "Shared" folder, so that the share content after switching to Secure Shared Disk "With Accounts" will look the same as the content looked until now.

  • Vista file sharing with OS 10.3.4

    Are there known issues with Windows Vista OS connecting and file sharing with Mac OS 10.3.4? We can connect Windows XP with Mac OS 10.3.4, but two Vista machines cannot. Any ideas?

    Maybe a lack of support for something the Vista OS uses.
    Mac OS 10.3.9 was always mountable and writable from XP. I would set up a folder on a large disk on my MDD (10.3.9) for my wife to connect to with her work laptop running XP, to use as a backup area. Printing was also extremely easy from XP to a USB printer attached to 10.3.9.

  • FCE file sharing with FCP...?

    I am considering purchasing FCE (and a macbook pro), but need to know a few things from users who have experience with it. First, is FCE totally compatible in terms of file sharing with FCP? I'm a beginer and need to learn editing. I just completed production on a film. My editor, who is also my filmmaking partner has FCP with all the bells and whistles. I live in California, he lives in Georgia. I'm hoping to supplement the editing process as we begin putting the film together from opposite sides of the country. Will I be able to do so with FCE, or will there be a problem opening certain filters and plugins from FCP?
    Also I was wondering, if I do purchase FCE will I get an upgrade price break when and if I move up to FCP?
    Any help and advice would be mucho appreciated. Thanks

    Hi
    Exactly as Tom writes.
    But there are some tools in FCP that are that great that they could justify for
    taking the full step.
    Colorcorrecting - three ways (not to mention the extra program Color™)
    MultiCamera editing - This to be able to edit as real life all Cameras at once
    and You even don't need to be anything like precise - only adjust a second or two
    afterwards.
    A two Camera one hour documentation used to take about 10 to edit in FCE FOR ME
    and I've done same in FCP in about 1 hour 20 minutes.
    It was mind blowing.
    But there is a price-tag I know it hurts and an upgrade program would benefit
    the Apple brand (as they usually does)

  • Help using file sharing with different users accounts on same Macbook

    Hi, I just wanted a little help using the file sharing option. My wife and I had different users accounts on the same MacBook, but when I am trying to share my baby's picture from my documents folder for my wife to have the same picture, I can't find the way to do that; I am not been able to find my pictures on my wife's account. Is there any way that I could share a folder from my account and my wife to have the same files at the same time on her account?
    I mean, something like the smart play list on the itunes?
    Thank you

    You can't do that directly unless you change permissions on your whole Documents folder which is not a good idea. Your wife can see your Documents folder from her account by going to Users/yourusername/Documents. However, this folder has no read privileges for others except yourself by default so she won't be able to open it.
    rather than changing permissions on your Documents folder, you can place the pictures you want to share in Public folder in your home directory or in Users/Shared folder.
