How can I set my Mac to only share SPECIFIC folders with Win7

It used to work, but, even though I have set only my Public folder and a specific photographs folder to share with a Win7 PC on my home network, the Win7 machine can see the entire Mac HD.
I followed instructions from here:
http://www.trickyways.com/2011/07/file-sharing-mac-os-x-lion-and-pc-windows-7/
But if I type Run then enter the ip address of the Mac, all the folders appear. Is there a way to limit them to only the two specific folders?
I've mapped the single folder to a drive, so admittedly, unless you go into "Run", you can't see the other Mac folders and drives, but I'd still like to make sure it can't be done.
Thanks

Ipad shows all regular Iphone inbound calls as Facetime. I only want true FT calls to appear. I switch audio/video and it still happens. How can I set the Ipad to only register true facetime calls rather than all inbound regular calls? thanks

My Ipad will show all regular inbound calls, from Iphone, as Facetime calls. I would like only TRUE facetime calls to appear. I have switched audio/video on Ipad but it still happens. How can I set the Ipad to only register only true FT calls rather than all inbound calls that a re not facetime calls? Yes, you may have to reread this twice and slowly to understand..... Thanks!

Hi webn,
I understand that you do not wish to see phone calls on your iPad anymore. I have an article for you with some information on accomplishing this goal:

Turn off iPhone cellular calls
To turn off iPhone cellular calls on your iPad or iPod touch, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.
On your Mac, open the FaceTime app and go to FaceTime > Preferences. Click Settings and deselect the iPhone Cellular Calls option.

Hi Jaime,
Are you saying, you are getting junk characters in the email attachment? Then pls check the following. Since you want to send Japanese fonts, please pass language 'J' in both objpack-obj_langu = '3' & doc_chng-obj_langu = '3' instead of '3' please replace it with 'J'.
Another thing which you may have to check is the SCOT device type. As I understand from my basis colleague, this may also affect your attachment fonts since the emails are sent through SCOT. Go to transaction SCOT-> Settings-> Device types for format conversion. Check whether wrong device type is defined for Japanese there. Hope this helps

How do i set the umask on a share i created with SharePoints?

how do i change the umask on a share i created with SharePoints?
user's drop files into the share and the permissions are set wrong. both the owner and group along with the mode.
how can i set the default permissions given to newly created files by any user? prefably a non-unixish way but i'll take whatever i can get. tried tinkertool but that didn't work.
i read other forums on macfitix which suggested changing the umask. i am not really sure how to convert integer to octal though. the fix needs integer. i dont know how to convert the permissions i need represented in octal to integer.
i also read the manual on the chmod utility which suggested changing the set on write bit to 4000 so that the newly created files inside a directory would inheret the parent owner etc.. in theory this would work for me. i did that, but it didn't make a lick of a difference. said only on supported OSes. i take it os x must not support this.
the permissions i need to set are 664 or read/write for owner and group and read only for everyone else. when the files get dropped right now they default to 600. not really sure how to convert that to integer or octal. apparently the umask equalivant is represented differently but also called octal but i do not understand why.
hope someone can bring some clarity to my confusion.

How can I set up a "receive only" email account in Outlook 2010

I have an Outlook 2010 email account that receives emails from a "Fax-to email" service, and I'd like to make that accout "Receive Only". Is it possible to do that, and if so, how.
Capt. Dinosaur

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, to set up a
“Receive Only”email account in Outlook 2010, please follow these steps: -
You have a few options available to you. You can set up the account with
a fake SMTP server name and configure the Send/Receive group to not send mail from this account, or you can use a different, valid account for the Outgoing server, just in case you accidentally use the wrong account when you compose a message.
First, create the account in Outlook: -
Fill the name and address fields with the desired information. Select
POP3 account type and enter the incoming server name.
In the Outgoing server field, type
nomail.
Enter the correct username and password for the incoming mail account.
If you want to verify the incoming server is correctly configured, click on
Test Account Settings, and then choose the dialog after the incoming server is verified.
Deselect the option to
Automatically test account settings when the Next is clicked.
Click on the
Finish to return to Outlook.
Because Outlook will error on every manual send and receive when it can not find the outgoing server error, you need to change the
Send and Receive Settings for this account.
Press
Ctrl+Alt+A to open the Send/Receive Settings dialog. (or you can go to
Send/Receive tab, Send/Receive Groups and select Define Send/Receive Groups.
Click the
Edit button.
Select the receive-only account, then deselect
Send Mail Items.
Click on the
OK, then Close to return to Outlook.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

How Do I Get Laptops (Mac+PC) to Share Data & Printer With "Main" Desktop?

My daughters are both home from school for the summer. How do I set it up so we they can use the wifi to share data and use the common printer?
My main computer is an iMac desktop -- running Tiger.
I have the Airport Extreme.
My printer is plugged to the Airport.
I have a laptop that a friend set up for me -- also running Tiger. I just hit print and the documents print. And it has an icon in the dock that when I click it launches so I can see / share / transfer files. But I don't know how he set things up. So ...
Both of my daughters use the wifi to connect to the internet but I would like to take it the next step -- to print and data share.
One daughter has a MacBook -- running Tiger.
Her sister has PC running XP.
I'm sure there is a simple "how to" somewhere in the database but I can't seem to find.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks

How can I set Mail to show only one email at a time

Mail will group emails based on subject or sender and then I keep losing or missing emails because they get buried in a thread. Sometimes under another persons name!
I'm old and easily confused.
I just want one email per line. No grouping. Can't seem to figure out how.
Thanks!

How can i set up mac mail to allow read emails on hotmail from online to show as read when i open the mail program?

i use the default mail program on my macs to read my mail. my main account is hotmail. i also read my mail from my iphone, ipad, and internet while at work. I have been able to sync the internet version of hotmail and my iphone to sync so that if i read a message, it is marked as read on my iphone and vice versa. however, i cannot get the sync to function with the mac mail program. when i open the program it still marks all the messages as unread, despite them already being open and read from either the internet version of hotmail, or from my iphone. does anyone know any ways to fix this? thank you

On the Internet Accounts System prefs choose Add Other account…
Pick Mail account.
On the first page where you enter username and password, hold down the Option key and the Create button will change to Next. Click that with Option held down.
You can then manually create the account.

How can I set my mac (and the screen) to not go on sleep mode ?

I just want my mac (and the screen) stay alive for a minimum of 8 to 10 hours, not going in sleep mode (or save screen). Just displaying a web page without doing anything else. In preference system, energy save is all set to «never», but after a while the screen goes to sleep ... ?

You probably have a corrupt .plist file. To fix:
1. Hold down the option key.
2. In the Go menu in the Finder, scroll down to Library
3. In Library, find Preferences
4. In Preferences, find com.apple.systempreferences.plist and drag it to the trash
5. restart
6. you will have to reenter your preferences.
Another option is caffeine: Lighthead - Caffeine

How can I backup my mac on a Time Capsule (connected with ethernet), without any user logged on the mac?

Time Machine by default does not run when no user is logged in, there's some way to let backups run without any user logged on the mac?
I need to backup 3 iMac connected through ethernet network to a Time Capsule.
Some hint?

If you use eithernet for your main connection then just plug the TC bridged into the network.
If you use wireless for your internet connection then you can use the TC isolated from the network by ethernet.. but this is really only convenient on a desktop Mac.
The instructions I put in this thread with screenshots.. see near the bottom.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4817218?tstart=30
It is a bit tricky so if you have questions ask back here.
Just to say a USB for firewire external drive is faster and more reliable than a TC.. cheaper to buy as well.. although since you already have the TC that is not a concern.. but you can ebay the TC and buy a bigger and better external drive with the proceeds.

How can i set up my HP photo smart premium printer with my new iPad Air

i don,t know much about these things at all so the answer has to be very easy

Hi,
We can't have an answer because we don't know your printer. HP Photosmart Premium is a series of many printers. Firstly please check to see if your printer in the list:

If YES, you can use this to fix/setup:
iPad: http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/airprint/
iPhone: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/airprint/
If NO you have to print using other apps such as :

How can I re-size a partition that shares a drive with the system 'disk'?

Some time ago, I partitioned my Bay 1 drive (640GB) to two partitions, of equal size. Now, I find that on the system 'disk' partition, there is a lot of space I don't really need, and could use in the other partition. I find that I can shrink the system partition, but can't expand the second partition to use the extra space. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks

I would keep that for just the system and not use 2nd partition for "active" data - move the other partition (or the system) to another drive.
An SSD system for instance. $165 Corsair Force GT 120GB
Then devote 640GB to what you want. Or as a system backup etc and pick up a 1TB WD Black ($139) which really are a nice performance drive now from what they had even 2 yrs ago.
