File sharing with iMAC and OS 9.1 Power PC back-to-back not working

Here's the setup. Any ideas on why it's not working?
Internet ports connected with crossover cable.
OS 9.1: File sharing ON, Program linking OFF, Document file selected for sharing
OS 10.4.8: Personal file sharing ON, Built in Ethernet both computers, GO connect to server-Power PC IP address entered.
Response after a timeout: "Connection failed. Check server name or IP address".
17 iMAC Intel core duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Still not working. Here’s what I tried.
OS 9.1: Configured TCP/IP in Control Panel for connection via Ethernet slot. Noted IP address from last DHCP connection. Turned on File Sharing in Control Panel. Selected file for sharing. In Chooser clicked Appleshare icon and Server IP Address button. (Note: Appletalk button active). Entered iMAC IP address in Server Address screen and clicked Connect.
No connection made.
Then opened Appletalk in Control Panel and noted it is connected via same Ethernet slot as TCP/IP. Therefore returned to Chooser, clicked Appleshare icon and clicked Appletalk inactive button. Upon turning File Sharing on in Control Panel, get warning message, “Appletalk must be turned on to use file sharing.”
As before, iMAC connect to OS 9.1 didn’t work either.
Artnum=302784 indicates Appletalk cannot be used, TCP/IP must. Apparently there is no way to disable Appletalk in OS 9.1 maching when file sharing.
It appears I’ve hit a dead end in trying to get operational file sharing between OS 10.8.4 and OS 9.1 machines.
Thanks for your help, BDAqua

Keep receiving "USB Over Current Notices" since updating to OSX 10.6.8. I have no devices plugged into my Imac and running everything wireless. SMB/PRAM resetting did not work. Does anyone have some advice or can help?

Hi Melissa,
Pretty strange, but...
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, does it happen in Safe Mode? Reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

File Sharing with Airport and 2 MacBook Pros

I'm stumped on file sharing. When I turn file sharing on in MacBook Pro #1 preferences and type in the afp address on MacBook Pro #2, I see several folders with a red check next to them. When I click on them it says I don't have permission. Is there a way, using the afp address of MacBook Pro #1, to log onto using MacBook Pro #2 and view the contents and files of the MacBook Pro #1 hard drive? I've tried everything, but I'm sure I'm missing something simple!
Thanks,
Chris

Under "Shared" in the navigation pane on the left of your Finder window, click on the computer you're trying to access.
Now on the gray bar right above the folders, it should say "Connected as:" (see picture)
Who does it say you are connected as?

Using file sharing between iMac and Macbook Air

I have been trying to use file sharing but do not have admin password or disc..When I try to access the iMac from my Air it give the option of using my Apple ID but no password field comes up...I press enter and get the Dialog Box wobble...

I have tried using the guest login but get the message "Access denied to this server, contact administrator". I can access the Air from my iMac but even though they are both running Mavverick some of the dialog boxes appear different. And thats even though I have enabled guest login on the iMac

How do I set up file sharing between iMAC and MacBook Pro?

I am unable to use "file sharing". When trying to connect as a "registered user" it asks for my server password. What is that? I have tried every password I think it could be. I also can not connect as "using an Apple ID"

You can set up "iCloud" on all of them and select there to sync your Documents. You must be running Mountain Lion on the MBA and iOS 6 on the iPhone and iPad in order to use iCloud:

File Sharing with XP and Vista

Hi, I have an WRT54G wireless G router. I have a windows XP computer and a Windows Vista laptop that I would like to enable file sharing on. I am having a lot of problems doing so. Can someone please give me instructions on how to do so? Thanks, Alex

I have the exact same problem, XP desktop connected to WRT54G (wired) and a Vista laptop connect wirelessly. Every thing works in that the internet connections of both machines work. I cannot, however, see the two machines in the network neighborhood of the XP desktop.
Before I installed the WRT54G, I had both machines connected to a wired router I previously used. Networking and file sharing worked fine in this configuration. Its only when I went to the WRT54G that I lost it.
I'm sure this is a simple fix, but I can't fix it!

File Sharing with iMac G5 w/PC

I have gone through the instructions for connecting my iMac and PC, and from the PC I am able to access the primary Mac account. But I can't see the other 2 accounts even though they are enabled from the Mac. What am I missing??

Hi LionChaser, and a warm welcome to the forums!
You'd either have to login to/with those other accounts, or adjust Permissions on those Home folders to allow other Users or Groups.
Two ways to do the second...
Sharepoints for smb...

Might try BatchMod, it's much better/easier than the Finder for recursive Permission changes...

File sharing with PC and Diskaid: don't see files on iphone

i downloaded FileApp and Diskaid, But, the files don't transfer to my phone,Help!

Those programs don't install to your phone. They install to your computer so you can manage files on your iphone using your PC.
Run the program, connect phone to PC using sync / dock cable and the phone should appear in the programs window on your PC so you can then move files on to and off of your phone.
Be very careful that you don't delete or damage system files. You will end up having to restore your phone when it stops working if you do.

HT3989 i've migrated from my macbook pro to iMac and now some patches of the exs24 instrument do not work in logic

hi community,
I recently bought a new imac and migrated form my macbook pro. I'm running logic and when i opened one of my logic project files i've been working on, some files (mostly exs24 instrument files) would not load up with the project file...a message was displayed with each file that could not be "detected" with an option to "Continue" or "Search again"...if you "search again" nothing happens and if you "continue" the files ends up loaded up with the exs24 instrument on some tracks not reading the patch file? This also happened with some audio files which would not load with a logic project file? I really do not want to reinstall and risk losing anything more...please help

Hi
Migration Assistant seems not to work well for some with Logic. Probably the easiest way to sort this would be to re-install the content.
You could check Library:Application Support:Logic and Library:Application Support:GarageBand for the "missing" files to see if the really are there.
If they are, it may be a Spotlight issue, which can be fixed by 're-building' the Spotlight Index.

Home sharing with IMac and applet not working

Sharing is turned on my IMac. My Apple TV is on and can see the name of the IMac. The iMac has photos selected but they don,t display on the Tv. I have verified the IMac has most recent version of ITunes. Been through TS guide, no luck. Apple TV says to turn home sharing on but it is already on. Any suggestions.

I have 2 Apple TV 2s. I updated one to the latest iOS and it immediately lost the connection to my home shared iMac. A week later I updated the second ATV2 and it immediately lost the connection, BUT I regained the connection with the first ATV2 I had updated earlier. The second still won't connect even after exhausting EVERY solution numerous times and the setting on both ATV2s are identical. Hoping the next iOS ATV update solves the problem.

File sharing between iMac and PC running Windows 7

This can't be a new problem but I am unable to access PC files running Windows 7 on a wireless network. I can see the folders on the PC from the Mac but cannot open nor access the contents. Error message: "The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “name of folder” can’t be found. I have tried every suggestion I've found on internet. Any solutions?

I can access Mac files from PC but not the other way around. I have given "Full COntrol" under Share Permissions on PC; I have selected "Share" for Users, My Documents. I have added Guest User Accounts without passwords. I have tried to access as Owner. I have tried to "Connect to Server" through Finder, smb://computer name/file. Although the file folders are displayed on my Mac when I try to open them I get a "Connection failed. You do not have permission to access the server "computer name". When I try to access from Finder SHARED, the get error message The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “file name” can’t be found.

IPhone Bluetooth not sharing with iMac - WHY????

iPhone Bluetooth not sharing with iMac - WHY????
How can this function not be available on iPhone - What an embarrassing disgrace Apple!!
I refuse to conform to iTunes - NO!
Am so over your lack of basic user services Apple - sort your **** out!!!

The simplest answer is that the existing Bluetooth is not suitable for this purpose. With a max speed of 2.1 Mbps (0.5% that of USB), it would be pretty painful to use for this purpose - a backup of a 16GB iPhone would take a whole day. Transfer a movie? It would take an hour.
On top of that, Bluetooth doesn't provide a standard mechanism for the type of data transfer and synching that iPhone needs -- they'd have to write their own propriety one and you'd still have to use proprietary software to do the data transfer / synching.
A better mechanism would be standard Wi-Fi, which would be MUCH faster than Bluetooth and for which the protocols necessary are already in place. It's still comparatively slow to USB (about 10% that of USB), but much faster than Bluetooth. However, it appears that Apple's research has led them to believe that waiting an hour or two for the phone to backup over Wi-Fi using the existing mechanism is still undesirable.
From what they've indicated about iOS5, however, it seems that they will be supporting more over-the-air updating and synching mechanisms, meaning that, for the first time, you can do most everything but backup the phone without iTunes (though document exchange for certain apps is much faster and easier with iTunes, it won't be necessary).

Just downloaded Yosemite and now the swipe feature on my mouse does not work. Why?

Just downloaded the new OS onto my iMAC and now the "swipe" feature on my mouse does not work, i.e. I can't go back and forth between web pages. Is this a function of the new OS?

What kind of mouse do you have? USB? Have you tried to plug it in - try all the USB ports (maybe there is a problem with one). It should automatically detect it.
