Get my Powerbook and Desktop G5 networked?

I'd like to share files between my desktop and powerbook (like Safari bookmarks, etc). The back of my G5 desktop Powermac is maxxed-out - all of the cable connections are in use. I hope I can get these computers talking using my Airport Extreme (wirelessly). I have 'Personal File Sharing' turned on for the Powerbook. How can I see that on my Desktop G5? Appletalk? Ethernet? Or other soluton?
Hardware:
Apple Powermac Dual 2.5 GHz G5
Mac OS 10.4.3 (Tiger)
This Mac is connected to an Airport Extreme via Ethernet cable
Powerbook G4
Mac OS 10.4.3
Connected to the same Airport Extreme via wireless
Can I somehow get these two Macs to talk to each other? The common thread is that they are both connected to the same Airport Extreme. Can I adjust the Network or Sharing settings in the System Preferences to make a connection?
Thank you!
Dual 2.5 GHz G5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)

  • Powerbook and desktop same address

    This is probably silly but bear with me please ... I have a desktop G4 and a powerbook ... I can now make my camera work on my pbook .. I have an aol address. What if I go away and take the Pbook and want to connect to my home desktop to speak to and let my son see me ... he is on the desktop I am on the powerbook ... do I have to create a second account for the base computer in order that the remote (PB) can communicate ie ... are they treated as 2 computers ... I'm sure the answer is yes but comments please ... do I set up a second address ... many thanks for your time ... Roger

    Hi Roger,
    Whichever way you go you will need to do Defcom's bit.
    Either a @mac name (the trial will work afterthe sixty days is up ) or an AIM one.
    Your choices then are:
    1) Set up the screen name in iChat and use the same Mac User Account.
    WARNING, Will Robinson !!
    This will allow your son complete access to all the stuff in your home folder and control of your settings.
    2) Create a new Mac User Account and set him up for iChat there.
    Note He is supposed to be thirteen to use the AIM service.
    You could of course invoke Parental Controls for iChat on his Mac User Account and restrict the Buddies names in the Configure section.

  • I am in a trial version, and i can't get lightroom mobile and desktop to sync

    does sync only happen with paid versions and not the trial version?

    Did I get it right, that sync is not working for you when you enable the little checkbox beside the collection folder (see my screenshot).
    If so what kind of status is LrD giving to you?

  • Getting the username and Password for networking

    I have a MAC and several PCs at home, and I can see the MAC on the Windows 7 Network. When I try and double click it, it asks for a username and password. Where would I find that on the MAC, or how would I set this up. I want the PC to be able to access all files.
    Thanks!
    Chaz

    you can maybe try the format of -
    username: computername\username
    password: yourpassword

  • Cannot get mac and PC to network

    Hi,
    I just can't seem to get my mac and pc to network!
    - I have activated SMB via file sharing on my iMac
    - I have created a folder on my PC that I want to share on my network
    - I can see the PC on the source list in finder on my iMac
    However,
    - I cannot connect to the PC via the finder or via Go>Connect Server. When I try to do this I get the following error message: "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "smb://xxx.xxx.x.xxx" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)"
    - I cannot see the iMac on my PC.
    I have searched the forum high and low but I am yet to find a solution that works for me.
    Anyone else in the same situation..?
    Any ideas on how to deal with this would greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I was going to start a new topic, but since this is here, I will add to it.
    I have a home network with 2 Macs that were recently upgraded to leopard (I like to wait), a PC running Windows 2000, a PC running Windows XP, and 2 PC's running Vista. With Tiger, I had no problems whatsoever in finding the various machines and logging into them. It was always immediate and seamless.
    After upgrading the 2 Macs to leopard 2 weeks ago, the network is intermittent. No changes were made anywhere, other than the upgrade. Network settings on the Macs were verified and are set properly. When I boot up either machine, and open Finder to get on any of the PC's, all that shows up is the other Mac. None of the PC's are visible at first. But over the next 3 to 4 hours, the PC's on the network slowly appear.
    To me, this is a serious bug that must be addressed by Apple. I see many other people having the same problem, and for people that work on Macs and PC's together, there is a huge impact on productivity due to this network delay.
    Has anyone found a fix or a way around this problem? I ask here as Apple is notorious for lack of support and has never responded to a single support query of mine.
    Thank you in advance for any help.

  • Recommendation on laptop and desktops capable enough for full Adobe suite

    To: Adobe Community
    BACKGROUND:
    I've been using Creative Cloud for about 1 year now, and many of the CS6 titles.  One thing this has exposed with my
    laptop and my desktop is that they no longer have the memory or GPU horsepower to keep up with the software.  For
    example,  Photoshop has many very GPU intensive features, and my sad little Dell Latitude D630 (yes, a 4 year old
    laptop) doesn't even have a GPU that will work, and I can't really add one on for this sad little laptop.  I also have
    a Dell XPS with 2 older nVidia GPUs, and I can use all the new features, but my GPUs sound like they are going to take
    off when the processing gets intense.  So,  I'm looking to get 2 new systems (a desktop and laptop).   
    I've looked at some of the higher end gaming systems, but I'm not really a gamer.  My preference would be to
    get a laptop and desktop that have similar specs so my work can sync through my cloud account as I work on it.
    Too bad this syncronizaton agent is out and won't come back until June 17, anyway, I digress.
    I've been looking at some of these new Intel inspired systems, but haven't really dug into what GPUs they have.
    For the desktop, I need to drive 4 displays.
    QUESTION TO THE COMMUNITY:
    - If anyone has been in a simular situation, and have acquired a new high end system (desktop, laptop, or both)
    to use the Adobe CS6 suite to its max, what system configuration did you go with?
    - Make/model/price, and specs would be appreciated.
    - If you are like me, you probably spend more time and energy researching a system than what it is worth, and compare
    specifications, reviews, etc.  So my goal of this post is to see if folks that have done this research and are
    very happy with what they acquired would be willing to share with others who want to make similar IT upgrades.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can contriute this info.  Yes, you would be giving away your homework, but making
    others very happy in the process.
    John

    I suggest you go to the Adobe Hardware Forum and see what has been asked many times. Also consult the FAQ section there and look at the popular discussions on the right hand side. Lots of info there. Another source for some ideas may be Intro Part 1 and all of the following pages. Also look at Adobe Community: What PC to build? An update...
    The basic information lacking in your post is available budget for the desktop and budget for the laptop. Without that info, it is impossible to suggest a high end system, also because you don't mention what kind of workflows you have in mind.
    What is high-end for what purpose and with what budget? If the bulk of your work is with Illustrator and PS then high-end means something completely different than using mainly AE and PR. In the latter case the nature of your source material makes a huge difference. Editing 4K material and using multicam edits quite often means a completely different high-end system than single track HDV or P2 material. It can mean the difference between a $ 2K, $ 7K or even a $ 25K machine.
    General advise: Don't buy from a tier 1 company like Dell or HP unless you have a big budget. If you want to save money, build it yourself. If you think you need to buy a system, consider a custom builder. (I have a high-end DIY system, I think, at around € 7K and getting a system with the same performance from HP would cost around € 25K).
    If you want to get the best 'Bang for the Buck', BFTB, you need to build it yourself, assuming video editing is part of your workflow.

  • Help! Have a Linksys Router WRVS4400N, Ipad and Desktop doesn't get internet at same time. Just one of the other. How do I internet on both? Thx!

    HELP! How do I get wireless internet on both my Ipad and Desktop? Have Linksys Router WRVS4400N. Only 1 device will work at 1 time. Something about a Learn MAC address? What should I do? Thanks! Tiggergirl

    Good morning
    Hi Kathy,  my name is Johnnatan and I am part of the Small business Support community.
    If you have an old firmware it would be a good idea to go out to Cisco.com and see if there is any firmware updates. I have looked on the site for you and I see the latest firmware is:2.0.2.1
    http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/release.html?mdfid=282414016&softwareid=282487380&release=2.0.1.3&rellifecycle=&relind=AVAILABLE&reltype=all
    You can also try to reset your device to its factory settings, to reset your router please take a object that has a point and hold the reset button in on the back for "atleast" 30 seconds until the lights on the front to start flashing.
    About Mac address, you can map a Static IP with a specific mac address, You can folllow these steps in order to configure it.

  • I was installoing ML and it came up, ' Install Failed' Mav HD damaged and cant be repaired. I now can't get back to my desktop. What do I do? Desparate!

    I was Installing ML and it came up, 'Install 'failed'. Mac HD is damaged and can't be repaired. I cannot get back to my desktop, this keeps coming up. What do I do, I'm desparate! Urgent.

    After you resetted your router you should try adjusting the wireless settings on your router...
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
    Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
    For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
    Click on the Wireless tab
    -Here select manual configuratioon...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
    -Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
    - Set the Radio Band to Wide-40MHz and change the Wide channel to 9 and Standard Channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on save settings...
    Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select AES...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone.
    NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation...
    Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...See if you get the desired speed...If not you should un-install and re-install the wireless adapter...

  • Get the MCC and the MNC of the SIM card and of the network

    Hello,
    We publish a network speed and quality measurement application used on desktop, tablet and smartphone.
    This application is called nPerf. It is available on desktop via a web browser at www.nperf.com, on iOS at ios.nperf.com and Android at android.nperf.com.
    We are currently working on porting our solution for Windows Phone / Windows. The project is a universal project using Windows RT 8.1 (Visual Studio 2013 Express Update 4).
    However, the project is currently "stuck" because we lack two essential information to identify the operator of the user: the MCC (Mobile Country Code) and MNC (Mobile Network Code), at least those contained in the SIM card.
    Ideally, we would also need, in order of priority, the MCC and the MNC of the active connection (in the case of roaming), a DB signal strength of type RSSI or RSRP (more accurate than the number of reception bars displayed on the phone), the id of the cell
    on which the connection is established (CellId) and the cell area code (LAC or TAC).
    I have reviewed all the Windows RT 8.1 APIs available, particularly the namespace Windows.Networking.Connectivity and none seems to contain this information.
    We would understand that it is not possible to access all this information but the SIM MCC and MNC are really needed and are available on other systems such as iOS or Android. It would really be a pity if we are not able to continue the development of this
    application simply because these two information is not available ...
    Would it be possible to tell us how to retrieve this information or, failing that, to give us the e-mail address or phone of a person likely to talk with us about this and identify possible steps to take to find a solution mutually acceptable?
    Thanking you in advance,
    FH Sarl company

  • Trying to create a hostname network between iphone and desktop

    I am trying to make a remote connection to my desktop from my iphone in order to use iControlBits App and Transmission on my desktop.
    I have a hostname which I created with dyn.com and the Mac OS X client installed on my Mac and it has a green light.
    I enabled NAT port forwarding on my Airport Extreme.
    I have a Motorola SurfBoard Cable Modem that has a dyn.com setting, I turned that on.
    I have read that this function on the SurfBoard does not work, also I am not sure if I still have to do any port forwarding on the modem/router.
    I love any thoughts on where to start troubleshooting?
    Thanks,
    Henry

    This is a possibility. But please be aware using your Mac to emit a WiFi connection is a temporary solution. And it will get a short range unlike an actual WiFi Router. Also you may find it to be unstable at times. The Airport Card in your Mac was not designed to be a full time Router WiFi emitter. But more of a receiver to get the signal and use it for personal use.
    1. Unlock the network on your Mac make it an open network
    2. Go to your iPhone, Settings-Wireless-Tap on blue circle next to network name, Choose Forget network
    3. Now go back, It will rescan and find an open network, Connect, and see if Safari works
    If Safari works, Then you had a Security issue. Try using WEP 128 bit 13 character passkey or WEP 8 Character Passkey.
    Cheers and best of luck

  • PowerBook Airport Card looses network and causes unstable...

    The Airport Card on my PowerBook 1.67 is having some sort of strange problem. The wireless network I am using suddenly cuts off and disappears and the signal indicator on the toolbar drops to zero bar.
    But this is not the only problem, the desktop will become very unstable -- when I move the mouse, the cursor jumps around (sort of like something is running busy and causing the computer to lag).
    When I turn off Airport the problem goes away (unstable stage).
    Sometimes I have luck by going under preferences > network > airport to re-sign on to the network I was using, but sometimes it will not come back on (it won't pick up the signal), or the desktop cursor keeps jumping (unstable). And I have the restart the computer then it's back to normal.
    Did Apple release any update on Airport Card? Thanks

    Interesting....
    My wife's 15" 1.67 GHz PowerBook just started experiencing the same problem (except for the Desktop issue). She can be using her laptop and her preferred network will suddenly vanish. She is usually less than 30 feet from the router at the time and had strong signal strength prior to losing the network. Meanwhile, other iMacs and iBooks in the house can still see the network and have no loss in signal strength.
    This problem started happening less than a week ago. Prior to then, this laptop received excellent wireless reception in our house. No changes have been made in our Linksys router in over a month. No Apple updates have been installed since March 2nd (Security Update 2006-001).
    This issue seems to be different from past Airport reception problems discussed on this board regarding a design problem. Up until now, she has experienced fairly good reception with her PowerBook. I agree it is not as good as the reception on our iBook, but it has not been an issue for her.
    When did you start noticing your version of this problem?

  • TS1398 i have a iPhone 4. I am trying to connect to the Wifi at my house, and other places that have free WiFi. I can not get the phone to access any networks in order to connect. Could someone please help me try to figure this out.

    I just recently purchased a iPhone 4. I am using it as Prepaid for Verizon. I only get a certain amount of data time, and was trying to use the wifi at my house in order to do somethings online without using my prepaid data, but for some reason it will not pick up the wifi at all, and when i try all the different things I have been told to try it still does not work, how do I get the wifi to work?

    You didn't say what you have already tried, but if you haven't already done so, power-cycle your router (unplug it for 15 seconds then plug it back in), then on your phone go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Reset Network Settings, then try joining your wifi again.

    Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

  • I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. It is not an issue with the service/router. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport... anyone know what's up with this?

    I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. I am able to connect to other networks but not my own. It is not an issue with the service/router because other devices connect fine. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport. Last time it happended I called apple and the suggested I wipe my HD and reinstall everything. I did and it did not work. One day I turned my laptop on and it connected no problem. Now it has kicked me off again. I tried resetting my IP address but that does not work either! Has anyone had this problem?

    Try this:
    Apple menu / System Preferences / Network.
    Click Location: and select Edit Locations..
    Click + (plus sign), and enter a name for the new location - anything will do.
    Apply this.
