How do I Connect both an iBook and Power Mac G5 to Windows XP Pro network?

I have an existing Windows network at home, with a Motorola Surfborad Cable Modem, Linksys Wired Cable/DSL VPN Router with 5-port 10/100 switch (BEFVP41), Linksys Wireless G Access Point (WAP54G), Linksys Etherfast 10/100 Workgroup Switches (EZXS55W v3) and several connected devices including: two Windows Desktops (wired), a Humax TiVo (wireless), Two (2) SlimDevice Squeezeboxes (wireless), and a Microsoft X-Box game system.
For some reason, I cannot successfully connect either a Power Mac G5 (wired) or an iBook (wireless) to the newtork and internet. In both cases, if I attempt to connect them, the router does appear to see them, but I can't get connection to the Internet.
Also, if I try to access either the Router or the WAP via their respective Access URL's: http://10.0.1.1/ & http://10.0.1.2/ nothing happens.
I have disconnected all the other connected devices and tried to connect them with no results.
Re-starting the cable modem, router or WAP didn't help.
If I connect one of the Windows PC's to the same cable I have tried unsuccessfully with the Power Mac, The Windows PC connects to both the Network and Internet immediately!
Additionally, I have checked out the entire wiring system, which are Cat5E cables. This included re-checking all connectors and testing each wire run. All cables are "straight through" with no opens, shorts or cross0overs.
I am sure that I am doing something wrong and that there is an "easy fix", but it's beyond my meager knowledge.
If someone can supply me with "Step by Step", detailed instructions on how to accomplish this, please help me.
Sincerely,
Gordy in Reading, MA - USA

Hi Gordy,
Well, that's certainly some setup you've got there.
Also, if I try to access either the Router or the WAP via their respective Access URL's: http://10.0.1.1/ & http://10.0.1.2/ nothing happens.
I'm not sure about those URL's. Plug your PowerMac into the router , then launch Safari and type 192.168.1.100 in the address bar it should allow you to access the routers settings via the web-based utility. Please check and see if that much that works and post back.

How do i connect both my ipad and iphone to wifi at the same time. i can one or the other connected but not both?, how do i connect both my ipad and iphone to wifi at the same time. i can one or the other connected but not both?

ive just moved out and have just been connected to talk talk broadband today. Both my ipad mini and iphone are saying they are connected to wifi but only my iphone will connect to online services where my ipad mini won't. But if i disconnect my iphone from wifi then my ipad will work online and then when trying to connect my iphone back to wifi that won't work with online services. is this because they are both using the same apple account? though when i was living at home my mum had sky router and i was able to connect both devices with no problem. is there anyway of connecting both devices so they work online at the same time??

There is absolutely no reason why they should not bothe be able to connect to your WiFi network. The easiest place to start would be to reboot your router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again. I would also restart both the iPad and the iPhone.

Connecting ibook and Power Mac via Ethernet

Is it possible to connect my ibook g4, with my Power Mac G4 via ethernet? I simply want to make it so I can swap files between the two. They're both running Tiger, 10.4.11, if that means anything at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mac OS X file sharing ( hope you know another language than english ). You need to go into sharing & turn on file sharing. It will share your public folder.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106461
The Mac OS client shares the the public folder. You may try putting an alias in your public folder to the flash drive. To share the flash drive directly, you need SharePoints.
The Mac OS X client version contains most of the sharing software. It doesn't contain an extensive GUI for manipulating the software configuration.
"SharePoints is an application or a preference pane that makes it easy to add and delete share points like in the old Finder. In Mac OS X, by default, you are limited to sharing only what is in your public folder in your home directory. This program makes it easy to share any folder."
http://www.hornware.com/sharepoints/
Mac OS includes support for NFS, the native Unix network file sharing system. You may share files between Mac OS X systems with NFS as well as other Unix Systems. However, the documentation on how you make the shares is rather limited. Once you learn how to configure the net info database with the netinfo command, the shares are not too hard to make.
"NFS Manager is a graphical user interface to control all built-in NFS features of Mac OS X. "

IBook and Power Mac G3

Not sure where to post this topic-
I am interested in creating and editting video with my iBook (G4, 768MB RAM, 30GB Hard Drive, 12inch). I have been offered a Power Mac G3 running OS 9.2.
OK- could I use that Power Mac as an alternate Hard Drive (to store projects)?
A sort of "external" hard drive, that is. The Power Mac G3 has a 13GB Hard Drive, with I understand is WAY below any external hard drive currently on the market.
It should be noted that I only video blog. That being said, my videos aren't an hour long; rather, no longer than 5-10 minutes at most.
Thanks

I've done a little reading, and it has to do with under the hood stuff with the Login ID number. I found how to change it on the iBook, but I can't figure it out on the iMac. Ideally, I want them to both be 501. So how do I sent the iMac in Mac OS 10.5.8?

How to import calendar from 10.5 and Power mac to Intel iMac

I have my old calendar on an external hard drive. It was created on a Power Mac. I now have a new iMac and to import the old events, I have to do it one event at the time. There must be a better way. I cannot open the old iCal on this machine so I cannot export any events. Help! and thanks.

How can I connect my Apple TV and Airport Express to the rest of the network for the least lag?

Hey guys,
I have an Airport network here in the office. All new Airport Extremes. The internet comes into one, which then connects to our switches, which then connects to other Airport Extremes over ethernet. Everything is setup to create its own network with the same SSID, and only the leader is the DHCP server.
I recently added an Apple TV to the network, only it was too laggy for video chat. I bought an Airport Express (for the audio), and ran ethernet to connect it to the network and the Apple TV, but things were still slow.
Now, I set the Airport Express up as a DHCP server (with NAT) itself, with a separate SSID, and it's working great. The only problem is that people would rather not have to switch wifi networks. Is there any way around this? BTW, the AirEx is complaining about Double NAT, which I understand is happening, but it's still working fine... it's really just the having to switch networks that's a problem for us.
Thanks!

Hi - as you probably know, double NAT is not recommended - you might have problems with some websites and updating - but if it is working that is great - as far as the Wi-Fi issue is concerned, you should still be able to create a wireless network with the same name an password as the rest of your network so no one has to switch.

How can I connect my iphone 4 and my mac mini, running mountain lion, so that I can airplay music to my mac mini from my iPhone? Or, is this not possible?

Just trying to stream music from my iphone to my mac mini speakers. Any way I can do that in a similar way that I can do it via applte tv?

No.
Since all music on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library on the Mini if that is the Mac you sync your iPhone with, play the music from iTunes on your Mini through the Mini speakers. If the music is in your iTunes library on another Mac, set up Home sharing to play the music in your iTunes library on another Mac with iTunes on your Mini.

How do I connect both a Mac and PC to Apple TV Home Sharing?

Goal
- I am trying to share both my PC and Mac through my Apple TV2 on the "Computers" home sharing menu.
- These are 2 seperate iTunes accounts as they are 2 different owners of the PC and Macbook.
- However, home sharing only allows me to have one at a time, can I not have 2 computers connected?
(The menu is in fact plural and says "Computers" not "Computer")
Attempt
-I turn on home sharing on my PC with my PC iTunes account, it then shows up on the "Computers" list as PC
-I turn on home sharing on my Mac with my Mac iTunes account, it then shows up on the "Computers" list as Mac, but it deletes the PC share
Troubleshoot
-So I started from scatch and connected the PC share with my PC itunes account, it shows up,
-Then I connect the Mac home sharing with the same iTunes login as my PC, but it also erases my PC from the "Computers" list and just displays the Mac.
Question
-How do I connect both a Mac and PC to Apple TV Home Sharing?
-I want them both to show up in the "Computers" list.
-So the final result will look like this on my Apple TV menu:
Computers
-PC
-Mac
whew... I'm out of breath... I hope there is an Apple Genius out there that can help.
Thanks!

After retrying the home share with the SAME ITUNES ACCOUNT ON HOME SHARING I finally got it to work.

TS3280 How can i enable both paired bluetooth and ios keyboard input at the same time?

How can i enable both paired bluetooth and ios keyboard input at the same time?
This is needed for the app im working on. Need some user input via keypad as well as scanner input via a paired bluetooth scanner.

You probably should not be using a keyboard bluetooth profile for a scanner, I am not a developer for apple so do not know the location for you to find out the correct profile you should be using for an input device that is not a keyboard. Sorry,
I am sure if you navigate the apple developer site you will probaly finmd what you're looking for.

How do I move both my contents and playlists to my new computer?

How do I move both my contents and playlists to my new computer? I have tried the suggestions in previous posts of copying the library and music folders into the itunes folder on my new pc. I don't have the option to file>library>import anything. The only thing that transfers, even on home sharing is purchased music. No music loaded from CD's and no playlists.

Hello Kayaks2,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To answer your questions about moving your music to a new computer please look at the following support article.

Take care,

I want to install new Apple TV which can receive iTunes media stored in a NAS device connected to my router. I would like to use both a PC and a Mac to manage this. Is that possible?

I guess the real question is can a single drive in the NAS be shared by both a PC and a Mac. I plan to access the network from both the PC and mac wrelessly but will ust CAT5 between Apple TV and router.

You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

How can i connect a Wireless Keyboard and a Trust mouse with a brand new Mac mini?

How can i connect a Wireless Keyboard and a Trust mouse to a brand new Mac mini?

Go to the Bluetooth icon on the menu bar and select "Set Up Bluetooth Device". Follow the wizard.
Alternatively, if you haven't yet unboxed and setup the Mini, you can pair the keyboard to the Mini (and possibly the mouse). However, I would set up with a USB keyboard and mouse and pair the Bluetooth devices afterwards.

My App Store is connected to another account. I've tried to alter all my settings through iTunes, The App Store on both the phone and my Mac but it is still connected to the original owner's apple ID. Is there something I can do?

Turn off Find My iPhone in iCloud on the iDevice.
Log out of iMessage, Facetime, remove Apple ID from iTunes & App Store.
Use Settings > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
Then set it up as a new iPhone with your own Apple ID.

How can I have both genius playlist and regular playlist on my new 160g ipod classic. The list of songs are there, but when I click playlist, I only get the genius playlists.

How can I have both genius playlists and regular playlists available on my new 160g classic ipod. I can see my entire song list, but no playlist other than the 3 genius playlist I just made. Also how can I delete a genius playlist. Made the same playlist twice by mistake. Thanks.

This was not a simple task. Got it handled. Had to call Apple support. Apparently, the 160g only syncs the genius playlist. You have to go in and "tell it" to sync the entire playlist as well as the genius playlists. There is also an option for only syscing certain songs. On itunes, there is two sections; one for the stuff that is synced on your ipod and another separate list for the stuff in your library! This is exciting for me as I am not computer savvy to say the least.

How do I connect both TCCP cards to the LAN?

Hi,
I cannot find this in the documentation anywhere so I apologize if this is rather simple. How do I connect both TCCP cards of 15454 to the LAN? I know the cards have a hub between them so plugging them both into a single switch (or multiple switches) will cause spanning tree problems. Is there a way to connect them both to the LAN simultaneously so that if one fails, the other is available for management access?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Matt

Never mind. I wasn't thinking. If I'm attaching a hub or switch to a switch, I just have to let spanning-tree block one port. If that port fails, spanning tree can transition the other port to forwarding. I was so focused on making this a host/access port I forgot my other options.
Thanks for the feedback about craft ports too.
Matt
