File Sharing With the BEFW11S4 in Vista....

I have two computer connect to my router on a network, Both computers are running Windows Vista. I am able to see each computer on the network map in the network and sharing center. But when I go to the network folder the computers do not apper at all... I made sure they both was are in the same workgroup unfortunately the are still not visable to each other better less able to read or change any files on each indiviual machines. Does anyone know how I can make this computers visable to one another. I really wanna stop running up and downstairs to do thinks on each machine when I can share between computers and not have to copy stuff to a memory card or backup harddrive just to get the information upstairs.

Go to network and sharing centre and turn on network discovery and file sharing on both computers.

File sharing with the touch

With file sharing turned on in the OsX of my computer is it possible to share data with my ipod touch particularily my itunes library ? I cando this with my tv with the WD TV live.
Thanks

Type "File Storage" or "Doc storage" or similar into the itunes search bar.
Quite a few show up.
I don't use these, so I am unable to recommend. Sorry.
You can look at appshopper.com to see what is said there.

Networking ~ File Sharing With Windows Vista

Alright, I've browsed enough of the web and I've tried a lot to try and resolve this issue, but none of it has worked at all for me. Here's my scenario about as specific as it gets:
I have a home private network consisting of two Windows Vista PCs, a HP Photosmart Printer, a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.1, and an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4. The network is routed through a Medialink MWN-WAPR300N router connected to a Time Warner Cable modem which goes to the Internet. My primary PC, the MacBook Pro, and the iPhone 5 all connect wirelessly; the other PC and printer connects via Ethernet. All devices connect to the Internet flawlessly, and they are all assigned a static LAN IP address through the router because I portforward to one of my PCs, and the router requires it. The network was originally configured using one of the PCs as a Private network under the default workgroup, "WORKGROUP". Everything else router-specific is automatic.
Here's the problem: My MacBook and my primary PC do not communicate over the network at all. Both the MacBook and my primary PC can file share with the other PC connected via Ethernet, and they can both print just fine. After using LAN Scan v1.02 by Nutec Apps, LLC on my iPhone however, neither my primary PC nor the MacBook Pro shows up on the list of LAN devices. But that's not all, the MacBook Pro always recognizes the other PC via Ethernet in Finder, and the MacBook Pro can be found in both PC's Network list. However, when I try to connect to it via my primary PC, it says that "[My MacBook] is not a valid host name." What?
To futher satisfy my curious mind, I set up a small Peer-to-Peer network between my primary PC and the MacBook Pro via Ethernet. Both devices instantly recognized each other and connected without any issues. I was able to transfer files at approximately 100mb/s and I was stoked. I then disconnected and tried to transfer over the network again, and there was nothing there. I have even done ping tests over the network to the MacBook Pro's LAN IP address, and it came back with no response.
I've restarted both computers numerous times, played around with file sharing settings, set appropriate sharing permissions, disabled firewalls, enabled sharing for Windows on the MacBook Pro, enabled file sharing on the Windows PC, you name it. I'm sure there is a small fix that I may have overlooked, but I cannot figure out what the problem is for the life of me. Because the operation worked via Ethernet, and it's working wireless-to-Ethernet, but not wireless-to-wireless, I have a feeling that the problem is related to one or both of the wireless configurations.
Thanks in advance for any help provided, if there is anything I missed I will be happy to proivde more details per request. This issues has been bugging me for weeks now and it's time I seeked professional help

Alright, I am still having the problem and I have the results of the ifconfig command if it will be of any help to any Apple techies out there:

Cav-Mac:~ Drew$
The section in question is where it says bridge100 because the IP address listed under that section reads 192.168.2.1, as previously suggested. However another IP address is listed above it as 192.168.1.104, which is exactly what it should be as I have it assigned via DHCP in the router. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, because this is driving me crazy.
PS: I apologize for the confusion. I made a typo in my previous post about my MacBook's LAN IP address. It should be 192.168.1.104, not 103. I can confirm that it is listed as *.104 in my router and it shows *.104 on the above ifconfig. Please ignore the *.103, thanks

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.

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.

i can see(open and delete) the files of the mac from vista computers.
how can i get a file sharing with this mac?
Thanks in advance.

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.

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.

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.
Comments?

File Sharing with AirPort or Ethernet - Both connected, what happens?

Here's the scenario. Two Macs are connected using AirPort to the local wireless network, with an AirPort Extreme Base Station as the router. The two Macs are also connected directly, to each other, using an Ethernet cable.
One Mac is set up to do +File Sharing+ (to be the file server). On the (other) "client" Mac, I want to connect to the "file server" Mac using the direct Ethernet connection (because it is much faster than even 802.11n wireless). For all other networking, including Internet access, I want both Macs to use the AirPort connection. Use Ethernet connection only for file sharing between the two Macs.
*Is there some way to force file sharing to use the Ethernet connection* (not AirPort), when both are available and connected?
I don't want to be too long-winded about what I have tried, but here is want I have observed. If I go to System Preferences Network pane and +Set Service Order+ (under the gear icon) so that AirPort appears first, both Internet access and file sharing use AirPort. If I set it so that Ethernet appears first in the sidebar, file sharing uses Ethernet and Internet access does not work (unless I also enable +Internet Sharing+ on file server Mac). If I switch the service order back to AirPort being first, Internet access goes back to using AirPort, but if I leave the file sharing over Ethernet connected, it continues to work over Ethernet (sometimes); it does not seem consistent. Sometimes it cuts off. Other times, the Internet access over AirPort become problematic.
Secondary question - *Is there some place I can look to see which connection is being used* at a particular moment, for file sharing?
The way I checked was by transferring a large folder and noting the estimated transfer time. A few hours is from AirPort being used; 20-30 minutes is Ethernet being used.
If it matters, the +file server+ Mac is a Power Mac G5 with Leopard and the client Mac is a Mac mini with Snow Leopard. I can make it happen, but the process is convoluted and it does not seem to work reliably or consistently, with either the file sharing or Internet access connection becoming inaccessible until I restart. I am willing to accept +UNIX command line magic+ as a solution; it just has to be a method that works consistently, and is understandable.

I don't understand what you just wrote. There is no category or forum in Apple Discussions that is generally about networking. There is a +Getting Online and Networking+ forum under Snow Leopard, and I suppose I could have posted it there. But if you have advice related to this topic question, I thinks it's OK for you to post a response in this topic, in this forum and category. If you don't know, that's fine. I don't know either. That's why I'm asking.
And this question is hardly +Networking 101+.

Back to My Mac/VNC/Screen and File Sharing with a PC

Ok back to my mac is great but it doesn't work with a pc. What is the best alternative to screen and file sharing with a PC???
Thanks,

Use VNC.

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)
Yours Bengt W

File Sharing within the Linux filesystem. How to do?

I folks,
i need a java solution to implement a file sharing at the linux filesystem.
Two java applications which are running in the Linux world need the access to one file at the linux filesystem. How can i do this with java???
Any suggestions?

Read/Write access required from both apps I assume? Do both apps run in the same account that owns the file(s)? Is it possible or feasable to put the file information into a database running on Linux instead?

Kobo APP download Docs, PDF's Kobo said to convert the PDF using Adobe Digital Editions, then I'd be able to upload to the Kobe APP via iTunes. Where is File Sharing under the Apps tab located?

I've uploaded my PDF to Adobe Digital Editions, but can't find where on iTunes to select file sharing under the Apps Tab... as specified in the instructions in the Kobo APP for the iPhone... and a rep from Kobo told me it was possible.

For future questions, this forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with an issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

Can't select user for file sharing with windows

I'm trying to share my MBPr over my LAN with my windows 8 desktop. When i go to the file sharing options, under "Windows File Sharing" section, the user account i want to share (my main account) is greyed out, so I can not select it. The other user account is selectable though.
Any reason why I can't select my main account??

wow, is that all it took? I spent several hours on support chat who ultimately made me create a new user account and import all my old account data over to that one. It worked, but would have been way easier to just change the password. Oh well. It's fixed now...
