How can I access files on my partners mac

We need to be able to access a set of files stored on my partners mac.
I will need to work on them and save them back to that mac.
With permission of course.
We both have macs.
We are in the same house.
The cloud does not seem to be an answer from looking at similar questions. Or is it?

If you are both connected to the same local network use the sharing section in System Prefernces.
On your partners Mac set up file sharing on the folder that has the files you require acces to and confirm the permissions are suitable.
You will be able to navigate to that folder with Finder, use the connect to server in the Go drop down list. You may be able to use your partners machine name or the IP address.

The only problem is that it is many years since i worked with OS X 10.4 so there may be slight differences.

How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; I also have Microsoft Word installed on the Mac as well.

Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

Get info then check permissions then add your curent user name (it was probably different on old Mac) and give your username full read/write permissions.

How can I access files that are saved in the iCloud?

Hello fellow apple fans,
I downloaded Mountain Lion yesterday and was very pleased to find out that it is possible to upload several file types from several programms into the iCloud. But now I am concerned that this feature could turn out to be useless for me: e.g. the PDF-upload from Preview" - once I uploaded it I can't find it annywhere, neither on my iPhone nor on icloud.com. I can only access it when I open Preview and look for "documents saved in the cloud". Same problem with several types of files - I can't find anything that can't be opend by the iWork-suit if I don't use the same programm that I used to save it in the cloud.
Is this feature only meant to help people that own more than one Mac?
Thanks for your help

Unfortunately, you're right. You can open iCloud documents on multiple devices, but only if they have the exact same software. If you save documents on Preview or TextEdit on your Mac, you can't open them on your iPad or iPhone because there is no equivalent software.
I use Goodreader to read documents on my iPad and iPhone, and there is a workaround that I learned about on a popular Apple fan site that allows me to access my Goodreader iCloud files on my Mac (they are stored there even though there's no direct way to access them). Hopefully, Apple will address this issue and make such workarounds unnecessary.

How can I access files saved from the browser on my tablet? Doesn't open files?

I tried to save a document on my tablet but in the downloads place in the browser it wouldn't open. I thought it was OK cause maybe the doc format, but I just tried to save a photo and when I tried to open it, it said "unable to find the default app."
How can I get the photo on my tablet under pictures or something? Do I need to download a special app?

WMA files from libraries usually if not always contain DRM, which makes it impossible.

How can I access file on a non-booting SSD with terminal?

I have a new MacBook air that hangs on boot-up. I can restore from a Time Machine back up, but it is a day old and I would like to recover work I did today off the hard drive before restoring, if possible. Apple support tells me that this should be possible using Terminal, but was not able/allowed to tell me how to do this and referred me to the communities. As usual, timing is miserable as I leave on a 3-week business trip in a few hours and need my laptop and files. Can anyone help me to do this?
Many thanks!

First, you need to be able to boot from the Recovery HD:
Boot Using Command+R keys:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
"COMMAND" and the "R" keys together.
3. Release the keys when the Utilities Menu appears.
Once at the Utilities Menu select Terminal from the Utilities menu in the screen's menubar. Now, you need to know where these new files are located. You move to any location using the 'cd' command such as cd /Users/user_name/Documents, then press RETURN. Replace user_name with your actual username. Next you need to do a directory listing to see if your files are in that location, Documents. Use ls -al to do a directory listing of the files and folders in Documents. If you find your new files there, then connect an external drive or flash drive. You will need to know the name you have assigned to this drive. It needs to be already formatted. Copy your files using cp /Documents/filename /Volumes/volname/filename. Replace volname and filename with those that apply. Press RETURN.
Or take it to your local Apple Store and see if they can do the chore for you.

How can I transfer files from an old Mac onto my new one?

As outlined on this thread, I am trying to get data from my 1995 Performa 630 to my recently delivered MacBook Pro. All suggestions gratefully received.
Also, are ClarisWorks files instantly readable by modern office software, or do I need to save in RTF or some other format, first, on the older machine?

Hi...
Your new MacBookPro has Mac OS X Lion v10.7.x installed on an Intel processor and cannot open or read ClarisWorks files as such.
However, you may be able to reformat to RTF > AppleWorks: Document Recovery Techniques
The issue is going to be migrating files since you can't use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac

Thanks in Advance,
Suresh Balakrishnan.

HI,
In iChat 6 before you upgraded to Messages Beta were you able to Send Files ?
There are also various ways to start this
Try:-
Dropping a file on a Buddy's name in the Buddy List
Dragging a File to the text entry field in a chat.
In a Video Chat drag a file over the Chat window and chose the half that says Send File.
As it is Google are you Buddies logged in via the Web Browser or a Jabber App or iChat on a Mac ?

How can I share files in airdrop between mac and phone without having setting turned to "everyone"?

I'm trying to utlitise airdrop between my MBP and iPhone 5s. I have the same icloud account for both, but when I have airdrop set to "contacts only" on either device the other is not visible. I have to set either device that I am trying to send to as visible to Everyone for it to show up on the other.
I have myself in my contact book as well so I should technically come up as a contact I would think? I'd rather not have to have visibility set to "everyone" if I can help it.
Any advice?
Thanks

I have converted a pdf to word. How can I access the Word file from my online account?

I have converted a pdf to word. How can I access the Word file from my online account? When it says 'download the converted file' I choose a location on my PC and click, but nothing happens. It seems that it can only save the converted file to my online account. I went to my online account but I see no way to look for the file

Hey Fabrizio,
You might need to sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf" using your Adobe ID credentials to convert your PDF file to Word.
Do you get the 'download' prompt?
Also, you can find the converted files by clicking at the 'Files' tab.
Please try the same using a different browser and check.
Hope to hear from you.
Regards,
Anubha

How can I access the properties of Microsoft files (excel, ppt, and word)

Hi,
How can I access the properties of common Microsoft file formats (Excel, Word, and Powerpoint) from a Java program. You can access/modify the properties of each document type using File->Properties in each MS application. The properties are essentially name/value pairs.
Basically, I need to write a java program that scans a directory and accesses the properties in each of the MS files in the directory.
thanks,
-john

By api. That is only way to establish a contract with the MS programs you want to interface with, unless you write an api yourself! I've used POI and it was an awesome way to use Excel in java. I created an excel spreadsheet from the results of a sql query from a batch program and then it was automatically emailed using javamail to my client. I had a lot of VBA experience with Excel, Word, and Outlook and it didn't take me long to get used to using Jakarta-POI.
Now I see there is Jakarta-POI-HWPF which works with MS Word documents. Go to: http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/

"The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." Updates were only offered by Apple when I'd open iTunes. Now I can't open iTunes. How can I access the newest iTunes as an update, not a new program?

"The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." Updates were only offered by Apple when I'd open iTunes. Now I can't open iTunes. How can I access the newest iTunes as an update, not a new program?

this just started w/ me yesterday. I was running 10.5.3, and nothing changed - the message just appeard out of nowhere. I update to the latest iTunes 10.6 but the message is the same.
Sounds like probably some sort of Library file corruption.
The two options available in the message box are "Download" and "Quit". Download is useless because I'm already running the latest. Quit is pretty useless.
I was going to just create a new Library and re-import all my music. Of course, all my iPhone sync settings are going go have to be recreated.
