Help please connecting PC and iMac

I am trying to help my cousin connect his Samsung pc laptop with his brand new iMac through his wireless network.
There are all kinds of partial connections going on, but the one main connection he needs still eludes me. And, that is his Samsung Laptop and iMac do not "see," let alone connect with each other.
His Samsung Laptop has Macdrive 8 installed, & is running Windows 7.
I have an Macbook Pro, and am also connected to his wireless network. I can see both his iMac and Samsung laptop in my finder's "Shared," section. (I can access the iMac's files, and though I can see the Samsung, when I try to Connect, it says, "Connection Failed."
With his Samsung laptop, under Network, you can both see my MBP, and can access it's shared files too, (so Macdrive is working.) Yet, his iMac is strangely not seen, let alone able to connect, to the Samsung laptop.
His iMac can also see and access my MBP's files, but can not see, let alone connect to the Samsung laptop.
His iMac, and my MBP, both have Screen Sharing, File Sharing, Remote Login and Bluetooth Sharing all "ON."
I need his Samsung laptop and iMac to be able to access each others files.
Any ideas?

macdrive is not necesarry for accsessing network shares. it's for accessing external HFS formatted HDDs, connected via USB/FW to the windows machine.
did you check, if the SMB option is activated under filesharing on the imac?
try temporary deactivating firewalls on both machines.
here are some more tips on filesharing between os x and win 7

Hi, I see I haven't had any responses but these problems haven't been fixed.
I still haven't been able to transfer purchases from my phone to my comp so consequently have stopped purchasing on my phone.
I bought a couple of albums recently via itunes on my comp, and tried to tranfer them to my phone via a playlist, but the sync often crashes. One album transferred except for one song, and the other hasn't at all. What happens is that when I autofill from a playlist it often hangs for ages on the first song and then I have to quit the application altogether as nothing happens for ages. Basically, the whole Itunes software freezes.
After this I find it hasn't transferred any songs, but they do appear greyed out on my phone, which means it has transferred some basic data such as the titles, but not the song itself. When I try to repeat the process to complete the transfer Itunes tells me that it can't transfer because the songs are already on the phone, but they are not!! I can't click or remove on the greyed out items, so now I have a couple of almost full albums on my computer that I can't tranfer or install on my phone, and a whole bunch of greyed out songs on my phone that I can't play or remove!
The rest of the problems as above still stand. I downloaded the latest itunes OS updates but nothing's changed. I haven't done the very latest iphone update yet though because it says you need to make sure your stuff is backed up, and I don't want to lose the purchases I made on the phone that I can't transfer to my comp. I'm planning on uninstalling itunes completely and reinstalling but I have little faith that this will fix the issue.
Can someone please help at all?? I'm so sick of this!

Help please.connected my current iphone to i tunes it syncd old contacts from previous job to new phone and deleted all my new ones,

Help please.
Connected my current iphone to i tunes. it syncd old contacts from previous job and previous phone to new phone and deleted all my new ones. tried to do back up from earlier restore in i tunes but there only seem to be back ups from my old phone not the new one prior to its first sync...

thanks for your reply and input but, Im not sure if it was former or latter that I did, however I do know that I named this latest i phone differently and would have been OK with and expected expected old contacts to be added to the new ones I have recently added directly onto the new phone since I have had it rather than just the old one. I did try the undue/ unsync but this just seemed to remove all the old backed up ones just added leaving contacts empty? Clearly its my error, but what can be done to restore setting back to time before I connected today? earlier reset points on itunes show as 2 years ago and relate to old phone.

Help Please Blackberry Z10 and Microsoft Exchange

Hi I have been a happy BB user for many years and was happily using a BB torch on Vodafone for last 3 years. Several mail boxes set up on phone, usual hotmail , gmail as well as office mail boxes via Microsoft exhange. Have never used BES
Upgraded to a Z10 and spent 3 long frustrating days trying to get the phone to talk to my SBS 2011/ Exchange 2010
Active Sync didn't work and every other attempt failed. We actually had a Microsoft engineer on site who also failed, yet connected his iphone in about 20 seconds
After many lengthy telephoe cnversations with Vodafone, their second tier technical support told me that there is a software issue and it is not possible to send and receive email for exchange mailboxes on the Z10 without BES software. I was told that this was a known issue and there would be a fix within a month. That was 2 weeks after the Z10 was launched, it's now nearly June and there still seems to be no fix in sight.
Does anyone out there know anything about this ? Is it a network specific issue with Vodafone ?
I returned the phone as it was useless if i couldn't work with my office email and went back to my trusted Torch - it is no falling apart and I need to upgrade to something very soon - getting very close to moving to a Galaxy.. Help.....

Vodafone have been very specific that it is not possible to configure the Z10 to work in conjunction with an exchange server without runnig BES, which we don't.
The statement, made that simply, is definitely not accurate. Exchange can face OWA to the Internet, and ActiveSync can be activated within OWA, with which a Z10 (generically speaking) can indeed integrate to. But, you've still not revealed what you face to the Internet, so it's only possible to talk generically for your situation...not specifically.
As the other contributor stated, they have BB10 OS 10.1, which seems to have in their case broken this particular function. You've not stated your BB10 OS level, so all we can work from is the generic information...which is indeed that it does work (generically speaking). If you also have updated to BB10 OS 10.1 and this issue might be the same for you, but here too lacking your details makes it impossible to know for sure.
Nevertheless, Vodafone is your formal support entity...and I would defer to what they are telling you, especially since you have revealed to them the specifics that you continue to hold back here.
Good luck!

Connect AppleTV and iMac to same pair of speakers

Hi all,
I have an AppleTV which I would like to use to AirPlay audio over from my iDevice to a pair of wired speakers.
i have an iMac that's currently connected to this pair of speakers.
Is there any inexpensive way I can use the AppleTV and iMac to play audio through the same pair of wired speakers? Thank u!

You can only output from Apple TV to connected speakers or ones that are airplay capable. Connecting speakers to an Airport Express will make non-enabled speakers airplay compatible.
You can output from a Mac to multiple speakers using airplay.

Help please to revive my imac G5 that is apparently exhausted!

No matter what apps I am using my imac screen keeps going black at random , and then the sleep light comes on. I either have to re-enter my login password or occasionally just press the mouse or a key and the screen opens up again, so that I can continue for a many moments as the screen will allow before it sleeps again. I have used disc utility and the HD seems to think it is OK. There are several permissions issues logged when I repair permissions, it says permissions repaired at the end but there were some warnings logged, I have no idea if they have anything to do with it.
Should I reset SMC or PRAM or anything else?
Really any help will be greatly appreciated.
The local apple store suggested not letting the screen sleep or using a screen saver in system preferences, i am seeing if that makes a difference now.

Hi Dale, I'm back again, earlier than I thought. I just had to try your suggestions.
I have reset the SMU, according to the apple advice pages. I am assuming from the information that that is the power mac version of SMC. IF not can you point me in the right direction please. The link for resetting SMC on your email did not work for some reason.
I tried Disc Utility starting up from the install disc, but the screen kept freezing. I will clean the disc and try again if all these other methods have not worked.
I did a safe boot instead.
I deleted the two .plist files: Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement,plist
users/username/Libary/preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
But the Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Autowake.plist was not there!!
Once I had restarted the computer again the 'PowerManagement'plist and the 'AutoWake"plist had not been replaced, but the "com.apple.systemuiserver.plist was back.
I have no idea if all this is OK. Or what happened to my missing file/files.
I am now putting the sleep option back to 30 mins. to see if all this has made a difference.
Look forward to hearing your advice on this, thank you so much, Jenny

Help Please! Genius AND WiFi not working on iPod

Hi, I'm using a first gen touch on the latest firmware. even though i have genius on iTunes, it will not transfer onto the iPod. There simply is no genius button. How can I get this working?
Also, on an unrelated note, my WiFi is completely shot. The little scroll thing will pop up for about a second than disappear, even in places where ive been using the WiFi for as long as I've had the iPod, which is about one year! I've never had any problems with the WiFi until I upgraded to 2.0 and above, does anyone know any solutions? I've reset the settings and network settings, and neither of these worked. Any help?
Any help would be appreciated!!

reset your network connection. I think it's under general settings. Same thing happened to me, and that fixed it

Guys I need help please read this and try to understand it

I want to know that what does a new driver has to do with modem that it makes noises like "click click" during the gameplay...
Right now i am using the old version that came with the box.It is 43.45 that has been released almost an year ago.Believe me guys it works almost perfect no noise and nothing.
If i come into 2004 then the latest version is 56.72 .I've heard that nVidia has uploaded this driver on april 1st (Happy fool day from nVidia). Thus guys i wish to come into this new year and i want to update my driver,and when i install this driver it will give me trouble from the modem. Couple of more things i have checked and they're the driver that came with the box is by DETONATOR and these days the drivers says FORCEWARE and the second thing is that the old software that comes in CD from nVidia doesnt contain "DIGITAL VIBRANCE" but all new drivers has it. Could this problem is from here? I am totally puzzled first i thought that there is something wrong with the graphic card but when i checked it was modem.When i changed the modem same problem.I changed the slot, same thing. Thought there is a virus or spyware but there was not.Hardware is ok because old version is working fine.
PLEASE GUYS I NEED ALL OF YOUR SUGGESTIONS DONT IGNORE MY PROBLEM
GRAPHIC CARD is MSI nVIDIA FX-5200
MB is MSI 865P-NEO
Modem is CONEXANT
One more thing i want to mention
if i turn on pc and start playing games(any 3D games) will run perfect on any driver whether it is new or oldest. But if i connect to internet with modem and later disconnect it and then start playing games or any 3D presentation the modem starts crying (CLICK CLICK) and this is the same sound that comes when we start connecting(dialing, probably when it gives signal) the internet.
In this situation i have to completely turn off my pc and also unplugging it (DISCHARGING ELECTRICITY). and then, when i turn on the pc and start any game without connecting to internet everything runs fine (On the new drivers)....
Now as i have mentioned before i changed the slots removed and even reinstalled.Nothing happens just a click click sound.
but for the old driver everything runs fine even if i am online and watching 3D presentations or playing games....
So anybody ????????????????????????

assuming its a pci one as he suggests it may well be an irq thing
try playing swap the pci slot with it

Hi Tim, welcome to the forum,
have you turned BT on using the Fn+F5 key combination? BT is "off" as default unlike wireless which is "on" as default.

Urgent help please - only from and title showing in emails

Hi,
I really hope someone can help me please!!!
My boss is out of the office but is having problems with his ipad 2 and is a complete plum when it comes to technology. However, even I can't work out what's wrong, especially without being able to look at it.
He said that his e-mails are only showing the From part and Title of the e-mail and the rest is blank. The titles list to the left is fine apparently and he doesn't have the download remaining ..... at the bottom of any of the emails. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
All help would be very gratefully received

1. You got to hold down the Sleep/Wake button together with the Home button
2. For approximately 10 seconds
3. Until the Apple logo appear
4. Ignore the red slider

Finder quits constantly - help please! (i7 Intel iMac, 10.6.7)

I've got an Intel i7 iMac, 27" with 8GB ram / 1TB HDD running Snow Leopard 10.6.7
Since I bought my iMac, Finder constantly quits on me. I can have two folders open, either external HDD and MacHD, or two folders on the MacHD and when i'm dragging and dropping image files, Finder will just close and reset itself. In the course of using it over the past hr, it's reset about 20 times.... Everything stays mounted on the desktop, just the folder closes and reopens again...
Also, when I use thumbnail view to view image files (quite large files), randomly and for no reason, all the images in the folder will pixelate and not display correctly, until eventually Finder resets itself again. However once reset, all the images stay pixelated until I reboot the Mac from scratch!!!
I've tried numerous things, such as creating a new profile, doing a disk repair, verifying permissions and even an Archive and Install - but still the problem persists!! It's driving me mad....
Any thoughts on what could be causing these problems and any idea how I can stop them from happening?
thanks
Gary

I would contact AppleCare again and let them know what you have attempted and what the result was. Also I would recommend buying AppleCare to extend the warranty, you can find it discounted by buying from Amazon or LA Computer company or other authorized Apple resellers.
If you have an AppleStore in your area you can also make and appointment with a Genius and they can look it over for free and give you some recommendations.
As a last resort doing a full erase and install is an option. However please make sure your system is backed up using Time Machine so you can easily restore your data.

Help please, connectivity problem

Hello, I recently purchased an E2000. In generally it works great when I am online. However, I am having a big problem. There are a couple of webpages, or games, that I would like to remain connected to at all time.
When I idle for 15 or more minutes the router drops the conection, however, when I unplug the router and connect straight to the modem I do not have this problem. I am running through a cable modem, road runner service. Any idea how to keep the connection alive?
I appreciate your help.

Are you getting the problem on the wired computer or on the wireless computer...?
