How do I access files on my network I have Windows and netgear stora

I have a home network with Windows XP and Window 7 computers; and a Netgear Stora network hard drive. I want to be able to access files (photos, mostly) that are on the network from my iPad 2.
How can I do this?

First you have to share a folder or volume on the PC. How to do this depends on what operating system you have on the PC.
Once you have that set up, open a Finder window and look in the Sidebar under Shared. You may see the PC there. If not, go to the Go menu and select Connect to Server, and enter smb:// followed by your PC's IP address. You should be able to connect to the files that way. See this Apple article for further information.
Best of luck.

How to Provide File Path in MII 12 to access file located in Network Path

Hi,
How can I locate a file which is placed Network Path?
Iam trying to access PDF file which is stored in Network Drive, I just want to open folder which contains all PDF files located in some Network Path on click of button.
I tried all possibilities like below:
window.open("file
\G:");
window.open("
SERVER-NAME
Folder Name");
But Iam unable to Fix this.
Please Help me in this regard
Regards,
Padma

Hi Rao,
this is less a MII than a browser or mapping problem.
You can access a local file in a browser like this:
window.open('file:///c:/folder/file.txt');
However, in case of MII local means local to the MII server. So in the above example the file is located on the c driver of the MII server.
If you want to access files on a network drive, the folders to the files should be mapped on the MII server so you are able to address them like they were local files.
I haven't tried to address network folders directly, because we are running MII on Unix.

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 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.

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.

Can anyone tell me how to change the names of the networks I have set up on Airport Express

Can anyone tell me how to change the names of the networks I have set up on Airport Express please? I now work in a UN compound and my network is my own name, would prefer some anonymity so seeking to change the wifi network name that others might see.

Hi mkl1961,
Happy Holidays! The article below will explain how to reset your Airport Express and change the network and base station names back to their defaults.
Resetting an AirPort base station FAQ - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT3728
What default settings will my AirPort base station have after a hard or factory default reset?
AirPort base stations are set to request an IP address by DHCP.
AirPort base station passwords are "public."
AirPort base station names revert to "base station xxxxxx," where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the wireless MAC address*.
AirPort base station network names are "Apple Network xxxxxx," where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the wireless MAC address*.
*A MAC (Media Access Control) address, also known as a "network ID," is a unique hardware identification number for a network port. You can find the wireless and Ethernet network IDs on the printed label on the bottom or side of the device.

How do add .mov files in Premiere Elements 11 with Windows 8? I get a generic error message.

How do add .mov files in Premiere Elements 11 with Windows 8? I get a generic error message.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your quick response. The original movies were taken on a Canon ES970 (1990's). I don't know the resolution but things were not as high tech back then.,.. I used a Roxio software to convert them on my MacBook Air. I didn't realize that I could use Adobe Premiere Elements to do that or I would have. However my old camera did not have a cable to attach it to a computer and the Roxio software came with it.
I then saved the recordings on an external hard drive. I did not make movies from them using iMovie or edit them in any way. They are simply .MOV files and they can be played on my Mac. Upon realizing how much memory it takes to work on videos, I decided it might be easier to burn DVD's on my husband's new Dell desktop that came with Windows 8. I downloaded Quicktime as suggested and still the movies can't be added to Premiere.

Hi j.v.fromnc,
One of the advantages of having Pages in iCloud beta is its ability to share with other devices, so it is not surprising you want to be able to access it on your iPad. To begin with you will need to install Pages for iOS on the iPad.
Pages
Once the document is created in Pages in iCloud, it automatically becomes available to devices using your iCloud account. On the iPad, go to Settings > Pages and make sure that Use iCloud is on. Of course you will want to be using the same iCloud account.

How can I view my full billing history for the app and music stores without iTunes installed?

I just received an email receipt from Paypal showing a $12.99 purchase from iTunes. I almost NEVER purchase anything over around five dollars in the app or music store. Since PayPal does not show what this purchase was for, I have not received the receipt from Apple yet, and I cannot find anyway to look up online what this purchase was for....I need help to find out ASAP what this purchase was. If my account has been compromised or if I have been incorrectly charged for something, I would like to get the issue handled immediately. I do not want to install iTunes on my PC (nor should I have to for Pete's sake), but I cannot see anything recent at all in my app or music history on my iPad (not that I would ever purchase anything for $12.99 anyway...I just don't). Thanks in advance for any tips!

No.
If my account has been compromised
If you even think this may have happened, immediately change your password.
