From MAC to PC Connection

I am currently hooked up to FIOS internet (via conventional Ethernet) with my desktop Mac.
For work-related purposes; I will soon be purchasing a laptop PC.
My question: Will I have to go through an entirely new addressing-process for the PC laptop to work out of the same wall location as my desktop Mac?
And if so, will my desktop Mac still be recognized by FIOS if I have to address the new PC???
In a nutshell, my desire is simply to be able to switch back and forth between the PC and the Mac as far as the internet is concerned without compromising either one.
Thanks for any help you can offer!

If you don't have a switch then it would make sense for you to connect the laptop to the VZ router via wireless. Then you could have both your machines online at the same time and also be able to connect from one to the other for data transfers etc.

What is the direct connect method for transfering photos from my macbook pro to my iphone without using iTunes syncronization? (iow: a simple photo copy from mac to iphone?)

I feel like I should know the answer to this. I can't believe it is a hard question.
What is the direct connect method for transfering photos from my macbook pro to my iphone without using iTunes syncronization? (iow: a simple photo copy from mac to iphone?)
Easy? Right?
Just plug my iphone in to a mac and copy a photo from the mac to my iphone.
I don't have internet access - I can't email it, or mobileme it, or dropbox it.

iTunes. Other than that there is no direct method. However, do try the iPhone forums.

I wanted to know whether i can diffuse music to the bluetooth only speakers from a airport extreme-connected hard drive through my mac?

I'm interested in the new soundlink mini Bose wireless speakers that function only via bluetooth. I wanted to diffuse music to them from an airport extreme connected hard drive through my macbook air. I don't want to stoc music on my mac given the limited flash drive and don't want to go though wires again. Is that possible? Also I can't go with airport express since those speakers don't have the airplay function.
Thanks a lot for your help or ideas

What kind of mac would I need for Nexflix, basic search and email? Also, sounds silly, but can I connect an HDMI from Mac to tv?

Just an FYI. The Macs named PowerMac date from early 2006 and before. Use this tip to discover where to post once you get your Mac:

The cheapest Mac available new is a Mac Mini. It is no bigger than many an external hard drive. But the screen and keyboard and mouse must be purchased separately. They support USB and Bluetooth keyboards and mice, and pretty much any DVI, HDMI, or displayport display. Although the iMac is certainly an attractive option if all you want to deal with is deciding on a printer. I still recommend getting an Apple USB keyboard for the occasional times you may need to troubleshoot startup issues. Normally not a problem, but as it gets older some issues can be fixed at startup or diagnosed at startup.

Cant connect pc from mac

Hi all,
here is my question...
im currently on my SL 10.6.2 and i would like to access my pc from my mac in the same network. however, i did a several setting on my PC and Mac and it just didnt work to me.
so i got my PC ip address by putting "ipconfig" in the commend prompt. and then i turned on the file sharing option both on my PC Vista and Mac, SMB checked on my Mac, and i was trying to connect my pc from mac by using the "Connect to Server" in finder, and i put the smb://(my pc ip address), and i got a msg prompted "Connection failed.
-- the server"my pc ip address"may not exits or it is unavailable at this time. i've been trying this for ages and it just didnt work....
any expert knows how can i fix it?
thank you

Do what Tim says, but along the way be sure that all your settings are correct. I am not sure if you have them all right. Try these:
On the Sno machine,
1. Go System Preferences > Sharing > Check File sharing > Go Options > Enable SMB sharing.
2. Go System Preferences > Network > Select Airport or Ethernet depending on what you are going to be using.
3. If your network is wireless, having selected Airport, select ask to join new networks and show Airport status in menu bar. If it is an Ethernet network, then Go System Preferences > Network > Select Ethernet. Chose configure IpV4 using DHCP, and ignore the "remember networks this computer has joined instruction" below.
4. Click advanced > click remember networks this computer has joined > Click Wins > Enter the ip address of the Vista machine in the WINS server box > Enter the Vista's workgroup name in the workbook box unless it already is there (look in the drop down menu too). In all likelihood the name is workgroup, but check on the Vista machine.
5. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).
2. On the Vista machine.
1. Select a folder to share, right click on the folder, choose sharing, and, using the remaining menus/options, share the folder with everyone allowing read and write (later, after getting things working, you can change who is allowed to share the folder).
2. Go Control Panel > Network and, turn on file and printer sharing, Turn off public folder sharing, and Turn off password protected sharing (unless sharing won’t occur without turning it on). Turn on allow network access if there is a box to do so (can't remember).
3. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).

Connecting ethernet from mac (10.6) to PC (XP)

I have tried everything suggested in the forums and still my macbook won't connect to my PC notebook.
Heres the specs:
Macbook Pro 3, titanium. OS X 10.6.6 intel core 2 duo.
Ethernet adapter: Marvell Yukon Gigabit Adapter
Acer Notebook ACPI Multi processer (no cd/dvd drives), Windows XP 5.1
Ethernet adapter: Atheros AR8132 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller
Plus 1 Ethernet Cable (that definitely works as I've used it for the wireless)
I want to be able to transfer files freely between these computers. The reason is the PC notebook is my portable work computer.. it doesn't have a DVD/Disk Drive.. and my external hard drive does not work with both PC and Mac. My Macbook is my stay at home device that I do more graphics work on. They are both very useful in their own right, but I cannot seem to connect the two.
What I've done so far. I have created a "workgroup" and changed the name so they match. I have changed the privileges on both computers so they accept access from the other computer without need for user name and password. I have created static IP address that start (192.168.0...).. but made them one digit different at the end. I have created a new network connection on the PC, and it IS CONNECTED..so it says. I have also created a new "incoming connection" that allows access from any attempt at connection from the mac IP address.
I have also tried to "Connect to Server" on the mac.. using the smb://IPaddress/Sharedfolder AND smb://ComputerName/SharedFolder AND smb://IPaddress (by itself)... each time it usually takes a while saying "connecting to "IP address"..
but then says "The server “IP address” may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again"... I have tried using slightly different IP addresses... I have tried different ethernet cables.. I have taken down firewalls, put them back up, altered them, changed security to allow full access.. I have tried restarting computers.. I have turned ON "printer sharing" AND "file sharing".
So its connected, but I can't access either computer either direction. What do I do?

Hi __trout__,
Go to the mac system preferences and click on Doc. There is a Minimize window using.... select the animation there.
Hope this helps.

Cannot connect from Mac Pro late 2013 to Macbook Pro

Cannot connect from Mac Pro late 2013 to Macbook Pro . I have tried via ethernet and wifi. I can connect from the MBP to the Mac Pro but not vice versa. I have tried to connect to other MBP's on the same network with no luck. I try and connect as a registered user, as I usually do, with no luck. When I enter the Username and then Password the box vibrates as if the details are incorrect, they are not however.
Thanks in advance
Jeff

It is 'just not working' again.
To answer you question. Other sharing services work. I can connect as a guest. I can share screens. I cannot air drop.
I cannot connect either way now i.e. from Mac Pro to MBP and vice versa.
I cannot connect to my wife MBP either. My wife cannot connect to my Mac Pro.
It neither works with wifi or ethernet cable.
I can connect to my Time Capsule directly and Time Machine backups are working.
The passwords are 100% correct.
The Mac Pro is a late 2013. Does anyone else have a similar problem? I have never suffered this one before. Seriously effecting my workflow
Thanks

Problem of remote connection on MySql Server from Mac OSX

Hi everyone,
I have a flash application that work on both plateforms Pc and Mac. In this application i do a connection to a MySqlDatabase to activate it.
so, to make my tests i have a pc and mac on the same home network
to make sure it works fine, i have installed EasyPhp on my PC and MAMP on the Mac, to be able to test the connection to local MySqlServer.
the syntaxe that i use to connect to the database is this one :
mdm.Database.MySQL.connect(host:String, port:String, compression:Boolean, userName:String, password:String, databaseName:String)
So, to connect to local MySqlServer : i have this code:
mdm.Database.MySQL.connect("localhost", "3306", true, "root", "", "DBName");
and it work just fine on the PC using EasyPhp and on the Mac using MAMP. I can connect on my database on each plateform.
So now, i want to connect to our remote MySqlServer, so, to connect to our Private server : i have this code:
mdm.Database.MySQL.connect("64.150.160.230", "3306", true, "userName", "userPassword", "DBName");
on the PC: it works just fine, i am able to connect to our database and do queries on our private server.
on the Mac : it cannot connect... errore message: unable to connect to server
I really don't know where it is coming from.
I would like to test a connexion to my remote MySqlDatabase, by sinf just the terminal. Does anyone know the syntaxe to use to connect to a remote MySqlDatabase using the Terminal?
It can be a blocked port on my Mac, because i am able to connect with this port on my local MySql Server...
Any help will be welcome.
Best regards.

Sharing an Internet Connection from Mac to PC

I have the following setup,
MacBook Pro 15'' connected to the internet using an external modem connected to a USB port. I went to system preferences and shared internet in this connection to computers using built in ethernet. I used a croosover cable and connected this mac to a PC windows XP SP2. It recognizes the network, have an ip assigned (192.168.2.2) but when i try to browse the web it doesnt work. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

bcool, Welcome to the discussion area!
Usually this situation is encountered when the firewall is enabled on the Mac sharing the connection. The frequent solution is to enable Web Sharing on the Mac and this will open the appropriate ports on the firewall.

Documents from Mac added to iCloud do not show up in Pages on iPhone 4S

Synopsis: Dcouments added to iCloud through Safari on Mac do not show up in Pages on iPhone 4S. New documents created in Pages on iPhone do not show up in iCloud. I expect the doucments to appear on my iPhone soon after uploading them from my Mac to iCloud through Safari, and to appear in iCloud soon after switching to the document listing in Pages and leaving the app. Several hours passed by without transfer happening, and I have waited a day and reconnected to Wi-Fi to wait several more hours. Still nothing shows up either in Pages on iPhone, or in iCloud in Safari on Mac. They are listed with their sizes and extensions (.pages or .pages-tef) in the iPhone Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Pages, though they don't seem selectable from there.
Software versions and Settings:
Mac
Mac OS X 10.7.2 (Lion)
Safari 5.1.1
Pages 4.1
System Preferences > iCloud: signed in; everything selected, except Photo Stream (no iPhoto).
Everything seems to work, except Find My Mac is flakey.
iPhone 4S
iOS 5.0
Pages 1.5 (417) [no other iWork apps]
Documents:
the defualt "Getting Started";
a test document with default name "Blank" and content with the word "Testing", shown with upwards arrow in upper right corner; tried renaming to "Just testing", no transfer resulted.
Plus button + offers: Create Document; copy from iTunes, iDisk, WebDAV; no iCloud (probably because it's supose to be auto);
Settings > Pages:
Use iCloud: ON
Restore: OFF; I have tried this, it automatically turns itself off after restarting Pages. No obvious changes result in Pages.
Settings > Wi-Fi: ON, connected to a network; tried several networks around town, as well as at home with a Time Capsule router.
Settings > iCloud:
everything ON, except Photo Stream;
Documents & Data:
Documents & Data: ON
Use Cellular: ON; also tried OFF initially.
Storage & Backup:
Manage Storage > Pages:
three documents in iCloud are listed, one of which I had created before iCloud on iPhone 3GS, and deleted from iPhone 4S after documents added to iCloud from Mac weren't showing up as expected;
their sizes are given;
suffixes are .pages for the two created on Mac, and .pages-tef for the one created on iPhone 3GS (before iCloud);
iCloud Backup: ON; successfully backs up everyday;
Email works, contacts are synced, calendar works, and everything seems fine except access to documents.
Approaches:
Software updates
Updated all software, no further updates available. Please confirm with aforementioned version numbers.
Add and Remove Documents
Used Safari to add two documents to iCloud with its menu for Pages of iCloud's iWork section, one at a time. Documents were originally created in Pages on Mac, and continuously edited since then. Explicitly saved documents (Save a Version on Lion) before uploading. Documents appeared listed in web page without problem.
Have tried deleting a document on iPhone that was originally created with Pages on iPhone 3GS prior iOS 5 as a way to jog the listing on iCloud. Listing on iCloud in Safari on Mac continues to show document deleted from iPhone. [Before deleting document, I had updated iPhone 3GS to iOS 5 and signed into iCloud a couple days before getting iPhone 4S, then immediately used the restore from iCloud feature for the iPhone 4S in the Apple retail store, updated all apps on Mac and iPhone, then deleted the document in Pages on iPhone.]
On iCloud in Safari on Mac: deleted the two documents uploaded from Mac; added the same documents again; edited documents on Mac, then uploaded and chose "Replace documents"; removed documents again; added them again. Never showed up in Pages on iPhone, even after waiting a day.
Have used iTunes to add the same documents to Pages on iPhone. Successfully opened documents in Pages on iPhone through plus button + > Copy from iTunes. Deleted documents from Pages's document listing, though they remain in iTunes section.
Removed documents of same name, though older copies, from Pages in iTunes for the iPhone.
Created a new document with Pages on iPhone, simply added one word "Testing" and then switched to document listing. New document has name "Blank" and an arrow in the upper right corner indicating it will upload next time an internet connection is established. That hasn't happened regardless of being connected to Wi-Fi and cellular for several hours. Next day, reconnected to internet with both Wi-Fi and cellular, the new dcoument "Blank" still is not in iCloud when I visit the site in Safari on Mac, and still has the arrow in the upper right corner in Pages on iPhone.
iPhone 4S Connected to Internet
Connected to Wi-Fi several hours each day, and cellular all day except from about 10pm to 7am when I switch it to Airplane mode. Always connected to Wi-Fi and cellular when attempting to access the documents in Pages on iPhone.
Restart iPhone and Pages
Have double-pressed Home button on iPhone to reveal along the bottom of screen a list of apps currently open, touched and held an icon to reveal the close badge on all icons, and selected the close badge on Pages, waited a few seconds, then started Pages again.
Have held On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears, then powered off iPhone, waited a few seconds, then held button again to start. Have done this with Pages either open or closed, per previous note. Still no change in document listing for Pages: test document still has not gone to iCloud, documents in iCloud still have not shown.
I think the only thing I haven't done is a complete restore.
Question: Can anybody point out what I might have missed or haven't tried that would get the documents from iCloud to Pages and vice versa?
I'm not looking forward to several hours of restoring, but if I must…
TIA

Okay, I'm not sure what finally jogged it. It seems to be finally working.
After downloading any documents I could from iCloud to my Mac, I deleted all the documents from iCloud. I also deleted all documents from Pages on iPhone, except the original "Getting Started" document.
I duplicated the "Getting Started" document (Pages on iPhone) and edited it by moving the butterfly to the left on the same page, then switched to the Documents view. It had the arrow in the upper right corner of "Getting Started Copy", but no progress bar and nothing showed up in iCloud.
Then, I think I went to Settings > Pages > Use iCloud: NO. Went back to Pages and got a dialog in the Documents listing:
     You are not using iCloud
What would you like to do with the
     documents currently on this
                    iPhone?
Keep on My iPhone
Delete from My iPhone
Continue Using iCloud
I tried keeping them, then going back and turning it back on in Pages's settings, then going back to Pages. Finally something different happened: a progress bar on the "Getting Started copy" document. It never seem to finish, and would disappear if the phone went to sleep. I tried the whole sequenece again with same result, and nothing on iCloud.
I then tried Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data: OFF, and agreed to "Turn Off Documents" and have all documents stored in iCloud deleted, because as far as I could tell there weren't any documents in iCloud at this point anyways. I went back to Pages and the "Getting Started copy" suddenly disappeared.
So, I went back to Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data: ON, and did the same for Settings > Pages > Use iCloud: ON. Oddly, Pages now tried to download "Getting Started copy" even though it really shouldn't have existed anymore. I tried iCloud in Safari on Mac and saw there now was a document by that name, but when selected it said "Updating…" on it. I deleted it in iCloud, and it disappeared (I think, or I deleted it) in Pages on iPhone.
I gave up and waited a bit, maybe an hour or two.
I made sure all the settings were how they needed to be, noticed no documents in iCloud, and only the original "Getting Started" document in Pages on iPhone. I duplicated that document, and that's when it seemed to actually work. First, the arrow in its upper right corner appeared briefly, then a progress bar appeared on it instead, then the progress bar actually moved and completed. (I think. Some indicator happened. Everything is kind of fuzzy at this point while I'm writing this and juggling a couple other technical tasks.) Then I checked iCloud in Safari on Mac and the document was there. Wow.
So, I immediately tried uploading to iCloud from my Mac the two documents I had been trying, one at a time. Each time the document succeeded in iCloud, it suddenly appeared in Pages on iPhone. In fact, the second document began to appear in the documents listing in Pages on iPhone just before the progress bar in iCloud completed.
I tried opening each one in Pages on iPhone, and iCloud immediately updated each one with a preview and as downloadable. I downloaded them to the Mac and they opened fine. [Admittedly, the Pages version from iCloud of the "Getting Started copy" with the moved butterfly was a little different in Pages on Mac: it had the butterfly on the previous page underneath everything; the PDF version of that document had everything correct.]
Anyways, the document listing between iCloud and Pages on iPhone is working now.
I thinking it might have helped to clear out all the documents in iCloud and deleting all documents in Pages for iPhone. However, be sure to at least email copies from Pages on iPhone first if you don't have any backups. I think it might also have helped to turn off Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data: OFF, so it'll send that signal to delete the documents in iCloud, even if there's already nothing there. I don't know for sure, but that's probably the way to start from scratch. Oh, and maybe wait an hour or two after that before doing anything again, then turn Documents & Data: ON, and Pages > Use iCloud: ON, and then start by creating a new document in Pages on iPhone.
I'm just glad I didn't have to do a Restore from iTunes. And now that it's working, it's so instant between Pages on iPhone and iCloud! This is seeming like it will definitely be great, now that it's working.

How Can I Synchronize Files From Mac to PC?

I have a G4 laptop and a PC Desktop (HP Pavilion d4100e, AMD X2 processor, NTFS file system), and I need to be able to work on both. To work on both, I need to synchronize the file systems so that my 30k files on the Mac appear on the PC and I can progressively synchronize as I make changes on one machine or the other.
I've tried a multitude of solutions, but have thus far been unable to set things up so that I can synchronize from one machine to the other. I learned that the copying process from Mac to PC would be interrupted if any of the files had a number of special characters that could occur on the Mac but not the PC, specifically: / \ ? " * . I more recently learned that a space at the end of a Mac file name would, once the file was sent over to the PC, be impossible to open and impossible to change the file name. I fixed all these problems using the mv_sed unix program. Nevertheless, a simple folder copy in the finder would quickly lock up--it would continue forever but no data would be transmitted. I then used the Synk program to synchronize to the mounted PC drive (mounted w/ 'smb').
I got all my files over to the PC, but when I try to synchronize any changes I made since the initial transfer, Synk locks up as well--it keeps running forever w/o any transmission of data. At this point, I realized that I could not list the contents of some of the folders on the PC from the Mac (using Terminal, smb connection). After some experimentation, it became clear that there wasn't anything wrong w/ specific file names, but that it wasn't possible to list the contents of folders that had a large number of files. I fixed that, but I ran into a multitude of additional problems being able to list folders. I don't have the time to figure out why. My guess as to why Synk locks up is that it can't list folders for synchronization.
At this point, I tried to make the file system on the PC more UNIX like, in the hopes that this would make synchronization possible. I installed cygwin on the PC, and I tried to use rsync to synchronize the files. Using cygwin, I seem to be able to list any folder from my Mac. So far, so good. But rsync is unable to transfer many files to the PC. It seems to try to create a temporary copy and then it can't read its own temp file, apparently because the file was never created. It also goofs up at points and puts a copy of a folder inside itself. Also for some reason it copies files over even when they already exist.
So far, no good solution. Is it possible to synchronize a real filesystem from Mac to PC? How? I'm guessing Apple doesn't have much incentive to insure this is possible.
Cheers,
Peter

This could be problematic.
It will depend on what model of iMac you have.
You may want to post machine info.
blue apple > about this mac > more info button. Click on the hardware line. It has a little triangle in front of the work hardware.
Leave out the serial number.
Example:
Machine Name: iMac
Machine Model: PowerMac4,1
CPU Type: PowerPC 750 (33.11)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 600 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
Memory: 768 MB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.1.9f1
Most of the iMac's have sometype of video output port on the back. You will problably need a converter.
The 'hollywood' industry has been making it more difficult to get video out over time to prevent copying.

Can't print to Windows 7 shared printer from Mac OS Lion

Dear all,
I would like to share my experience battling to figure out how to print to Windows 7 shared printer from Mac OS Lion. Myself had this problem and looking throughly in internet without success. But finally I figured out the solution by myself, hope this can help other Mac user with similar problem.
OK, when I try to setup my new MacBook Pro with OS Lion to connect with my Canon MX308 printer attached to desktop with Windows 7 Ultimate,
1. I simply select System Preferences>Print & Scan.
2. Then looks for the + sign just below the box to add a new printer.
3. From the option toolbar above, I select Windows. I have connect this MacBook with my Windows Network, so the workgroup will appear to the left column.
4. After I select this group, the computer list will appear in the middle column
5. Then after I select the computer which my printer connected to, my printer sharename will appear in the right column
6. Last step is to select the printer I want to use.
7. After that it will automatically put your printer sharename to the "Name". And then I select my printer driver at "Print Using" and find my printer manufacturer which is Canon MX300 series from driver lists. Finish!
My printer appear in the Printers List. But the problem is everytime I try to print there will be error message saying "ON HOLD Authentication Required".
This problem start to kill me, I search all around for similar problem, but the solution was never worked for me!
Until just now I figured out accidentally for the solution.
THE PROBLEM LIES ON MY PRINTER DRIVER!!!! Although I have downloaded the most update driver from Apple site and Apple Software update said there is no more update for my system!
The solution for my problem is Gutenprint Printer Driver! You can download this driver at http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php, then select for the latest driver gutenprint-5.2.7.dmg. Install this driver!
Then back to Print & Scan in System Preferences, then right click on Printers List box, then choose "Reset Printing System..." to clear the previous failed printers.
After that, repeat the above step 2 - 7. Only for the last step I need to select the Printer Driver for my Canon MX308 for the driver name : "Canon PIXMA MX300 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.7"
Now I can sleep as a baby knowing that my printer make a friend with my new Macbook Pro! Hope this will help others!

I have the same setup but with a Canon MX850. This did not fix my problem.

Why will IMAP email not send from Mac OS 10.10.1 Yosemite Mail even though it is configured the same as on my old Macbook (and emails are sending just fine on the old computer)?

I can receive but cannot send IMAP email on my 1&1 mail account from Mac OS 10.10.1 Yosemite Mail on my new Macbook Pro. The account is set up the same port, password, username, server name as on my old Macbook and emails are sending just fine on the old computer.
When I hit send on the new Macbook Pro running Yosemite I get this message:
"The connection to host ... on port 993 failed.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent."
It shows the server as (offline)
I've tried erasing and typing in the password. I've tried both checking and unchecking Automatically detect and maintain account settings. Still cannot send.
I also have a Gmail account and it is working...

email service uses an Incoming Server and an Outgoing Server. Mac Mail makes access to the Incoming Server(s) obvious, and hides the settings for the outgoing Server(s). A quick and easy way to get access to the Outgoing Servewr settings is to use:
Window > Connection Doctor ...
... then click on the red light for the Server that is not working for you to see its settings.
This web page will make an educated guess about how to set up your Servers, and NO SPAM will follow:
