How do I access files on my Macbook from my iMac?

I'm about four months new to my Macbook and I'd like to access just files on my Macbook from my husband's iMac. We have wi-fi in the house.
Thanks!

    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.

  • I have a PVR which supports DLNA connected to my home network.  I want to access files on my MacBook from the PVR.  I understand that my MacBook doesn't support DLNA. Is there any 3rd party  software that I can install on my MacBook to provide DLNA?

    Hi,
    Can anyone help me please.
    I have a Personal Video Recorder (Humax HDR-1010S), which supports DLNA, connected to my home network via Wi-Fi. 
    I want to play music from iTunes and view photos from iPhoto from my MacBook (which is also connected to the home network) via the PVR / TV / Home Cinema sound system.  I understand that my MacBook (running OS X Mavericks) doesn't support DLNA server.
    Is there any 3rd party  software that I can install on my MacBook to provide DLNA server?
    Thanks,

    My recollection is that the iPhoto library has some fairly robust protections to prevent inadvertent or even deliberate changes being made that might have unwanted consequences. I'll take alook at my setup and let you know if I can see anything that might help you. Even if you get Serviio to "see" the iPhoto library, it almost ceratinly won't show the album structure and names. What I did is to export each iPhoto album to a standard folder with the appropriate folder name. These I keep on an external backup disc and Serviio can see these without trouble.

  • 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.

    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"; none of the options I choose work. I also have Microsoft Office (with 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.

  • How do I access files with an iPad on a Lion Server?

    One of the reasons I upgraded fron Snow Leopard server to Lion server is to access files from an iPad and iPhone.  I see in the File Sharing sharepoint configuration box the iOS checkbox, but how do I get to the files from the iPad?

    Thank you for shaking my brain!  I kept looking for a file structure to show up, such as Fidner.  Your answer got me thinking correctly. Instead of looking for a "Finder", I opened Pages on my iPad and touched "+" then "copy from webdav".  From there I got a login screen and typed https://servername.com/webdav plus my credentials and it got me right to the files on the server!  I can now access files on my server from my iPad and can save the changes back!  It works both on the local network and remotely!  Thanks again!

  • How do I access files that have been recovered (after a Mavericks problem) with the .cca file extension

    How do I access files that have been recovered (after a Mavericks problem) with the .cca file extension

    First, to access documents you must use an app designed for that specific Document type. So Pages will not be able to open PDFs. The Documents app by Readdle can handle PDFs though. In the latter case, you'd open the app, click the menu icon at its top left, and click Open to go to your iCloud Drive. With Pages, if you had files outside the main Pages folder, click + then iCloud and navigate to the file's location.

    What a crappy design. This is where Android is so much better. It seems to me like you have no control over your iPhone. It does whatever Apple has designed it to do without asking you first. On Android you can actually go in see all folders, document files, photo files etc and you have so much more control of everything. Apple s..cks!

  • How can i access my home shared videos from my iPad2 if I now have iTunes match?

    how can i access my home shared videos from my iPad2 if I now have iTunes match?

    That's exactly what I meant, but for some reason Home Sharing stopped working on my iPad2 once I activated iTunes Match.
    Since then, I waited for iTunes Match to finish setting up and scanning my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro and I restarted my iPad2. Both Home Sharing and iTunes Match are now up and running smoothly!
    Thanks for the reply!

  • Can I access the backup for my macbook from my iMac

    My MacBook will not boot - time for a new one.  Is it possible to access the last backup for thae macbook from my imac?

    If you are only after a limited number of files....and not a complete restore of the laptop....you can use Migration Assistant on the iMac to copy the files that you want from the Time Machine backups of the laptop.
    Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Migration Assistant
    Connect the iMac to one of the LAN <--> ports on the Time Capsule if you can.......to speed the process 3-6 times over wireless.

    Authorize your new computer's iTunes first - Store>Authorize this computer.
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
