In Vista be sure you have sharing turned on. You will see a common folder "Public" in the desktop explorer. For starters, drop a text file into it.
Not to get too much into Winders, but you rightclick the Public folder to get to the enable sharing dialogue.
On the Mac, you should simply see the Vista computer in the Finder, under its name, "WORKGROUP" or whatever.
Double click it and then in the Finder to the right you see a little area that says, "Connect as"
(I missed that one the first time)
Click the button and you get a popup login window.
Use your Vista logon name and password and there you go.

  • I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, can't join existing wireless network with AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC wifi turned off.  How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. working fine with TM

    I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, I just found out that it can't join existing wireless network with new AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC's wifi turned off.  How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. It is working fine with TM.  My cheeper seagate drives etc kept crashing, so i didnt trust cheeper back up options anymore.  Connected those drives to TM via firewire and could see the drives and access them.
    Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed.  I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.  I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast. Getting over 50mbs downloads and over 30mbs uploads.  Plus everything in my home it connected to my fios router, airport express for music streaming, two apple tvs, vuezone camer system.  I really didn't want to monkey around too much with my system.  But are there other options to connect the new TC.  Can't find info anywhere for this and called apple who gave me the info above.  after hanging up, i see that i cant access my TC and I am wondering if i would have to reset it to turn wifi on again to make changes to the drive, turn off blinking light  or repair it in disk utility if it should become corrupted.
    For other with similar issues i did solve some other problems: when i connected it to my ethernet port on my iMac wifi stopped working.  Found that I had to turn off the ethernet in the system>network screen, but then TM didn't see the TC so i restarted after changes and then it saw it.
    Now a rant.  I can't believe in this wireless age that Apple would make a product that cant join a wireless net work.  The apple rep said i could return it and look for the previous TC that would join an existing wireless network.  Are we going backwards?
    Thanks!

    Ok... it is getting a bit clearer but there are still some questions.
    I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast.
    I was assuming airport in this statement in your first post meant the TC or the Express.. but I now realise we are still in the mass confusion stage where apple calls everything wireless an airport. So what you mean is the airport internal card of the computer??
    Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed.  I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.
    I think this is mistaken.
    Putting the TC in bridge mode plugged into your FIOS will not slow the network.. nor will it cause mail or port issues.. in bridge the TC is just a fancy WAP and switch plus the network hard drive.
    If the computer is close it will be faster than the FIOS.
    You can run both wireless networks with different names.. so it is clear which is which. But you can also setup roaming so the computers themselves pick which is the best wireless.
    I tried extending the wireless net work and tried joining wireless network, but the TC kept crashing and I had to keep resetting the TC.  the Apple support person said these, extend wireless network and joint wireless network, are no longer a connection option with the new TC because of the new AC protocol.
    Thanks again!
    You cannot extend to a non-apple wireless router.
    You cannot use join a wireless network because when you do the ethernet ports will be cut off.
    But that has not changed.. I don't think Apple support is correct.. there has been no change with the AC model.. it is simply a fact that apple routers do not work in join wireless mode other than as a dumb client. The same applies to AC as to the earlier version.. but I have asked another person to check this.
    Join in the express is the only apple router that still allows an ethernet connection.
    For now you best use of the TC is bridged to the FIOS. Wireless you can sort out between several options.

  • How can I share my schedule information with my wife on her accounts and devices?

    My wife and I have separate accounts in our MacMini and MacBook.  We each have an iPhone.  She uses GMail.  I use Mac Mail.  How can I share my schedule information with my wife on her accounts and devices?

    It is not advisable to follow the above suggested method. The following will do what you want without complications.
    1. On your Mac, go to http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a9479 and follow the instructions to share a calendar privately. If you have more than one calendar you want to share you will have to do each individually. You can choose whether she is able to edit it or whether it should be read-only.
    2. If your wife does not have an iCloud account she will need to obtain one. When you share a calendar and nominate her to access it she will receive and email. All she has to do is to open the email and click 'Join Calendar'. This will add the calendar to her Calendar app on all devices and on icloud.com without affecting any other data. Again, this will have to be done individually if more than one calendar is involved.

  • Can you please help me by saying me how can i join two different picture to make it as one picture.??

    Hi Sir/ Madam,

    Could you post (lores of) the images and explain what you intend to achieve?

    Unfortunately, such option does not exist directly in Skype. However, if you are not afraid to use a SQLite database editor, you can try to delete this message from the chat database.

  • How can i join more than 20 tables which contains more than 5 lacks records

    how can i join more than 20 tables which contains more than 5 lacks records

    If you're trying to join 20 tables I would check:
    - Are all the joins necessary. It's easy sometimes to just join to another table because you're unsure as to whether it's required.
    - What sort of application is it? 20 joins seems a lot to me. Are you trying to achieve too much with one query? Is it possible to break the problem down?
    - If it is necessary to join so many tables then force the use of hash joins in the query, especially if you're processing a lot of data and want the best throughput. If you want a quicker response, this will not be a appropriate.

  • How can I join/merge audio in 1 step?

    How can I join/merge audio in 1 step? Or... 2 in Logic X.
    I want join all the audio in this track(image)

    I see only three steps, and one of 'm (3.) should not be necessary unless you've created a take folder or folder track somehow?
    In step 2. you are not joining tracks, but regions (on the track).
    I do understand why Apple does not "fix" this: nothing's broken, that's why. If the Logic dev team would listen to all these "it's too complicated" complaints, Logic Pro would eventually end up being iTunes with a record button.
    Two tips: learn the terminology (knowing the difference between tracks and regions, for starters) and use the search function in the manual. If that still doesn't get you anywhere, ask us.
    Have a nice day!

  • How can i join two libraries from two different users

    how can i join two libraries from two different users in the same computer?

    I should add that you can turn on SHARING where each user can see the other user's library and play stuff out of it. But they can not import those tracks to their own library or put them into their own playlists or burn CDs of the shared library.
    Also note, to do this you need to have the fast switching option enabled with the accounts so both can be running at the same time and both must have iTunes running at the same time.

  • How can we view the data asociated with Request ID

    Hi All,
    I have data loaded in an ODS there are multiple files loaded in this ODS. Now i want to view data for a perticuler request OR i want to know how can we know the data associated with a perticular request.
    Please help me out.
    Thanks & Regards
    Amit Kumar

    Copy the request number (not request ID) from the ODS manage screen, Goto RSRQ give the request number and execute. it shows the monitor screen- now goto PSA from the top and check the data. But this possible only if you are loading data to PSA also along with ODS.
    Otherwise, Goto Display Data of ODS from the right click on it -- in the selection screen give the Request ID that you want to check the data. Then it displays only that request data.
    Hope this helps.
    Veerendra.

  • How can I use my Apple ID with 2 Apple devices?

    I just got an ipad mini and I registered it with the same Apple ID I use for my iphone 4s. Everything was fine until I downloaded apps to the ipad and noticed that the ones I had on both devices  no longer opened on my iphone. Why is this? How can I use my Apple ID with 2 Apple devices and how can I recover my apps on my iphone?

    I've had an iPad for almost two years. When I purchased an iPhone last fall I set it up to use the same Apple ID as my iPhone. I've had no problems doing this. Try resetting each device and see what happens.
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
