FTP - How to be accessed by external internet and some issues

Hi there everyone!
I am looking foward to set up an FTP server on my Mac Pro. It's purposed for my digital photos I take of much of my friends, and personally don't like websites for such hosting. (Yes, copy pasting into a folder is so lazy )
So starting the FTP was indeed easy. Thanks to Mac OS X technologies. (And Apple too)
But I've tried connecting to my own FTP, and wasen't sure how to do it exactly.
It appears I just can't browse it like a normal web page (through FireFox and Safari), so I though of connecting with the Finder, but it showed me this error:
(It asked for my username and password, which I didn't knew, so simply hit enter, then showed me:)
The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "ftp://127.0.0.1" could not be read or written.
(Firefox returned me an error: "503 User anonymous unknown" and safari... well went opening that very same page inside firefox!)
Searching within the help, I couldn't find my answer and came here.
Also, I was wondering which folder was acting as the ftp folder? And were can I setup this?
I have also these basic problem with Personal Web Sharing (which could be useful for my project) but that's something different.
I understand I am asking quite much stuff here, but my search on the internet did not answered me. If you have any article that could be useful, I'd thank you if you could drop a line or two! Thanks in advance for help!

I have maybe found a way to setup some sort of FTP account, since I think it works with user accounts on the same computer (right?).
Could anyone have a quick glimpse a this tutorial page and tell me if that's the good way to setup an ftp account?
In my case I'll need 2 accounts, one which people will read from, and another they will be able to write on. I'll use these two accounts with people I know and that asked my access to my pictures.
Thanks again in advance for help!

How do I access an external hard drive attached to an Airport Extreme using the Finder's "Go to the folder" feature?

How do I access an external hard drive attached to an Airport Extreme using the Finder's "Go to the folder" feature?
I have an external hard drive attached to my Airport Extreme and I can access it just fine through Finder. I would like to be able to keyboard navigate to it in an efficient manner. I tried to use the "Go to the folder" feature but was unable to.
I had tried dragging the drive to the Network folder but the shortcut it created does not lead to the drive's contents...it seems to lead right back to the parent directory:
I hope I explained the question well. Thank you for all of your help and time in tending to my inquiry.

Cant you set up "back to my mac" then go to finder preferences and put a check mark under everything under the shared location. Also set up back to my mac on your airport extreme.

HT201269 Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time. As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts. How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account

Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time. As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts. How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account please?

Yes.
On their iOS devices, under Settings>iTunes & App Store, they should use your Apple ID. When they log into iCloud, iMessage and Facetime, they should use their personal Apple IDs.

I had an Apple ID and password with my hotmail acct. The password stopped working, so I set up a new one with my me acct. How can I access my old acct. and merge the two of them?

Windows laptops wireless access to the Internet and not to any of my files?

TC late 2008. I want to give Windows laptops wireless access to the Internet and not to any of my files? I have tried to locate "Guest" accounts in my Airport Utility with no luck and I do not understand my options. Example: Could I add a Linksys Wireless-G Cable Gateway router before or after my TC and not have a security problem?

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Guest networking requires a "simultaneous dual-band" AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule. Those weren't introduced until 2009.
Are the files you want to protect on your Time Capsule or on your Mac? You can protect files on your Time Capsule with a password. In AirPort Utility look at the Disks panel, File Sharing tab.

I bought a new computer, I backed up my itunes library on an external hard drive from the old computer. I then uploaded the external hardrive to my new comupeter Windows 8 - How do I access my apple store account to purchase additional music and use the $25 or so dollars I have in credit. ?
Thanks - Patti

You should be able to log into your account via the Store > Sign In menu option - if the drop-down menus aren't showing the control-B should them to show.
Your balance should be accessible wherever you are signed into the account. My account's balance shows at the top left of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option (that option will only show after you've signed in).

HT2426 how do i access my external hard drive connected to my time capsule 4th gen

how do i acess my external hard drive (wd) that is connected to my time capsule using a macbook pro?

Make sure that the drive has been formatted correctly to work with the Time Capsule.
That means a format of Mac OS Extended (Journaled)....highly recommended.....or FAT32.
Once this is checked, open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit
Click the Disks tab at the top of the screen
If the USB port on the Time Capsule can supply enough power to the hard drive, you will see the name of the drive displayed in the window, per the example below:
If you have the correct format on the drive, and it does not appear, this is an indication that the USB port on the Time Capsule (which is under powered), does not have enough power to work with your hard drive.......even if the hard drive has its own power supply.
In this case, you will need to use a powered USB hub with the Time Capsule to provide enough current for the hard drive.
Now you should be able to access the drive using the Finder to mount it on the desktop.

How to limit access time to internet (iPAD2)?

I want to limit usage time (access time) to internet with iPAD2. There seems to be no setup for restriction of usage time with iPAD2. Is there a way app or software or fucntion in Airport to control access by a certain device to the Time Capsule? Thanks.

The Timed Access feature on the Time Capsule will allow you to set specific daily time limits for any wireless device that is connected.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Access Control tab
for MAC Access Control, select Timed Access
For details about this, click Help at the top of the screen and then click AirPort Utility Help. Enter the following phrase in the Help search box:

How can I access to the internet by my mobile ?

I can not access to the internet by my mobile (N95) with wireless
I mean the web icon doesn't open..
Is there any one help me... please.

Most smart TVs come equipped with wired network access and an option for wireless as well. Connecting the TV to a Wi-Fi network is similar to connecting any wireless computer. That is, you would need to enter the network name (or SSID), security type, and security password.
In addition, the TV should default to a DHCP client. Meaning that it would try to contact the DHCP server in your router to get its IP address information. That would include an IP address and Gateway IP address. By default, your AirPort Extreme will assign local network clients, including your TV, IP addresses in the 10.0.1.2-200 range. Its Gateway IP is: 10.0.1.1

Why/how is Yahoo accessing my address book and rem...

Strange email received from Yahoo
>>Yahoo! wants to make sure your address book is filled with the most current and valid emails to those family, friends and contacts you need to reach. We noticed that you had emails in your address book that are no longer valid, so we have removed them.<<<
>>Only retired emails have been removed. All other contact information remains.<<<
How can yahoo just access my address book and do this, why are they doing this?

It is only easier if you always have access to that computer.
The beauty of having everything online is you can access it from anywhere you have an internet connection.
I use POP and keep on top of my email online when parted from my main computer, downloading retained messages when I get home. But if you want access to all your folders and messages from any computer, you can use IMAP to get the best of both worlds.

Then you write a wrapper in JNI to call your C/C++ code.

HT4910 I PURCHASED AN AUDIOBOOK FROM MY IPAD, HOW CAN I ACCESS FROM MY IPHONE AND SAVE IT TO IT

I PURCHASED AUDIOBOOKS FROM MY IPAD2, I ALSO HAVE I CLOUD ACCOUNT WITH 15 GB STORAGE. I ALREADY BACK UP MY IPAD TO ICLOUD.
HOW CAN I ACCESS MY AUDIOBOOK FROM MI IPHONE 4S AND STORE SOME OF THESE IBOOKS ON IT?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Audiobooks are not currently part of the content that can be re-downloaded. You should sync your audiobooks to other devices via iTunes on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iBook store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen after you tap the store button in the top corner of the iBook app on your iOS device.

External drive and sharing issues?

I've posted this question before but got no answer, so, I'll try again.
Ok here's the situation. I have a small network here at work. We (four of us) share a harddrive connected to computer A. That drive has all the client jobs on it that we all open and change and save. Lately and sporadically (no rhyme or reason) computer B, C, or D may try to open a job and it will say "access denied" and can not open it at all –OR– computer B can open it but will not be able to save it again in the same location. Now even though computer B can't do one of the two things listed computer C and D can open, fix and save with no issues. Again most of the time but not everytime.
Is there a way to fix this "sharing/permissions" issue? It's a bit frustrating.
I have opened the drive we are using and "got info" and assigned every individual listed full access and rights and that did not fix it.
What am I missing here? Or is this a system X issue with permissions and I just have to live with it?
Future plans are going to a server system which I assume will fix the problem but for now this is my set-up and looking for a fix. Thanks
G4

Couldn't you choose to "ignore permissions on this volume"
for the whole external drive; and then (hopefully) all of the
users would have no immediate sharing message issues?
Of course, when articles or documents have several updates
and more than one author contributing to their content, the
files themselves may develop permissions issues.
Among the casual reading I do on computer topics, I read
more than I need to know, so I know the answer is out
there and not terribly hard to implement; yet unfortunately
I do not recollect the path to the argument on how to do it.
There is a fairly simple outline of a way to handle some of
this stuff in the following page/link; more detailed info is
on the additional page/links which follow after this one:
• Mac OS X 10.5 Help: Mac 101: File Sharing
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1549
Among the security documents (download .PDFs) on OS X
there are some fairly good paths to implementing security
to include how to change permissions & privileges; as part
of the overall security strategy; some of those documents
covering these matters are in the Server security setup docs
from Apple Support's database. I have three .PDFs saved.
These vary from 2MB to about 5MB each.
• Mac OS X Security Configuration Guides
http://www.apple.com/support/security/guides/
Some of the Share Points and other facts here may be
of help, even in a non-server environment:
• Apple Support - Leopard Server - File Sharing (10.5)
http://www.apple.com/support/macosxleopardserver/filesharing/
There is a large amount of information available.
Good luck & happy computing!
