How do I set permissions between iMac and Macbook Pro using apple extreme base station hooked up to comcast modem

I am trying to share files on my iMac with my wife's macbook Pro for which I am set up as a second user with administration privileges.  I think i have the computers finding each other (for example my iMac shows up on the shared list in my wifes's finder window), but when I try to open a file it says I do not have permission(s).  Is there a manual I can look at that walks me through this step by step.
I know I have to mark files on my iMac to allow for sharing.  How do I designate a particular user as having permission to share.  I only want to be able to share my iMac when I am logged in on my user account on the Macbook Pro (and vise versa, I would like to be able to access the files on the Macbook Pro, when I am logged in as the user on my iMac.
Thank you for your assistance and precious time.

Through a browser.
I am supposed to have it set so that it is placed at:
http://c5414.airsight.net  but nothing gets there.
Some places have mention that I need to set up port forwarding,
others have mentioned DDNS or UPNP,
How do I do these or is there a better way to send http://10.0.11.1/main.html
to http://c5414.airsight.net?

  • HT3275 How do I set up my iMac and Macbook Pro to both backup to my single Time Capsule?

    I previously backed up my Macbook Pro to my Time Capsule.  I am now trying to use the same TC to backup an iMac. However, I get an error saying the "MBP sparsebundle is already in use". I think that is 'cos my iMac is backing up, but I need to know how to resolve this ASAP.

    They use separate sparsebundles so the issue is something else.. often with lion there are issues with a device keeping the TC open.. you log into the disk area of the airport utility manual setup, and use disconnect all users.. the backup should then work.

  • Connecting iMac and MacBook Pro using a non-Apple wireless router

    I use a Belkin wireless router. Is there any way for me to connect iMac and MacBook Pro using the router to share files? I think I read somewhere that I need AirPort Extreme for this, but I'm not sure. Thank you.

    Great resource from Dennis...file sharing, I.e. networking, is a function of the operating system settings and not the brand of router. Using Mac OS X 10.6 on both machines makes it really seamless. Following Dennis's kb article should make the two almost act like one machine.

  • Connection failures between iMac and Macbook Pro

    I'm experiencing frequent connection failures over my wi-fi network between my iMac and Macbook Pro on an otherwise strong, stable network. I can connect both of my computers to the Airport Time Capsule that I use as my wireless router without a problem, but for some reason I get connection failures between the computers say, 50% of the time. Sometimes it works fine, others it just hangs before giving me an error message. Any suggestions?
    OS 10.9.3 on both machines
    Apple Airport Extreme Time Capsule
    iMac, 3.06GHz i3 (2010)
    Macbook Pro Retina, 2.4 GHz i7 (1st Gen)

    Hi jt in nyc,
    Some checks:
    Use Airport Utility on one of the machines
    - Click on the Time Capsule ( enter password if prompted )
    - Click on the Edit button
    Under Airport Utility -> Wireless -> Wireless Options
    Are the Time Capsule Wireless options set correctly?
    - Country -> you know this, change if it is not
    - 2.4GHz and 5GHz Channel set to Automatic
    - Click on Cancel button to return to the Airport Utility graphic diagram.
    - Click on the Time Capsule
    - Click on your machines listed beside wireless clients
    Are the machines reporting an excellent quality at different distances from the Time Machine?

  • IPhoto not working after trying to share iPhoto between iMac and MacBook Pro

    I tried to share my photos on both my iMac and MacBook pro. It deleted all my photos in my MacBook and now it won't let me even open iPhoto in my iMac and gives me the following message "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
    How do I rectify this? Purchase iPhoto from the App store?

    What version of iPhoto do you have on each system?
    It sound like you propbably have a newer version of iPhoto on the MBP - and thay you opened the iMac iPhoto library using the newer iPhoto - if you did you were warned that doing this would convert the library and that the older version of iPhoto could no longer open the library - the error message you list says that this is what you did
    If you did the only options are to restore your iMac backup from before you converted the library, upgrade iPhoto on the iMac the same version you have on your MBP purchasing from the App store or use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  to downgrade your library

  • Moving files between iMac and Macbook Pro results in permissions error

    This is probably a very simple issue but I can not for the life of me figure out how to fix it.
    I've moved a folder of raw .nef photos to my public folder on my iMac from my Macbook Pro via file sharing. Upon attempting to open the files on my iMac in finder or Adobe Bridge CS5 I get "You do not have permission to open the document..." "Contact your computer or network administrator for assistance".
    Thanks in advance,
    Tony

    You'll have to give yourself permission to the files. Do a +Get Info+ via the Finder, click the padlock at the lower right, and enter your Admin password.
    Then click the plus sign at the bottom, and select your user account. That will give you Read rights. Click the arrows in front of +Read Only+ and select +Read & Write.+
    If they're all in a folder, do this on the folder, then click the "gear" icon and select +Apply to enclosed items.+ That may take a while if there are a lot of files.

  • Any best practices sharing iPhoto library between iMac and MacBook Pro

    I have my iPhoto library on my iMac, but I would also like to view and edit keywords, etc on my MacBook Pro.
    Any suggestions on how to do this?

    Larry
    There are two ways to share, depending on what you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running. On the other machine enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Remember iPhoto must be running on both machies for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc. then:
    Quit iPhoto ion both machines.
    Move the iPhoto Library Folder to an external HD set to ignore permissions
    On each machine in turn: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue, select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new library location. From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both machines will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • How do i sync emails between iPad and Macbook Pro

    I have the iiPad2 with WiFi. I remember that I used iSync in the past between my Macbook and desktop unit. I also am signed up with me.com. Can anybody please advise me what's the best way to sync my emails? I use Apple's mail program. Thanks.

    iSync has never synced email or anything between Macs.
    To sync email you need to set your account up as IMAP (not POP3) on your iPad and Mac.
    If you are using your MobileMe email address and have configured your MobileMe account on both Mac and iPad, then your email is automatically in sync.

  • Sharing Photo Books between iMac and MacBook Pro

    Hello!
    We created a photo book on iLife 09 on the MacBook Pro and wanted now to use parts of that layout in a new photo book we are creating on the iMac. I opened sharing preferences and opted to share that book, but on the iMac, I only have the photos from the photo book, and not the layout.
    Is it possible to share the book including layout between the two computers using a network?
    Thanks for your help

    Is it possible to share the book including layout between the two computers using a network?
    No. The only way to get a book from one Mac to another is to copy the entire library and run that library on the other Mac. You can't move layouts between libraries, only photos as you've already discovered.
    Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

  • Sharing between iMac and MacBook Pro

    I just got a MacBook Pro. I already have an iMac, and I was curious if there was a way to share info between the two without connecting them via firewire? (For example, sharing my itunes library between the two computers)

    This does not work!.  I have a MacBook Pro and iMac and i want my Macbook to be able to add content to my iMac.  I am burining CD's and movies that I own so i can view and listen on AppleTV but When adding content via my Macbook pro (Beacuse it has the CDROM) i want it to be available on the iMac and on the Macbook via my home network.
    To get around the issue i have shared the Automaticlly Add to Itunes foler on my iMac so after i burn the files i can copy them over. I just hate doing this step.
    Any Ideas?

  • Transferring captions between iPad and MacBook Pro using iPhoto

    I have a new iPad3 on which I loaded the iPhoto App. When travelling, I load my photos from my Nikon D90 to the iPad. I then go into edit and add a caption. Once home, I hook my iPad up to my MacBook Pro (2007)(running Lion)(iphoto '11 v9.2.3) and the photos transfer (using iPhoto) to my MacBook without the captions. Is there a way to transfer the captions from the iPad to the MacBook Pro and vice versa along with the photos?

    You cannot do it with AirDrop. Following quote is from iOS: Use AirDrop to wirelessly share content
    You can't use AirDrop on iOS to share with OS X users, and OS X users can't use AirDrop to share with iOS devices.
    You can do it via Photo Stream iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
    Or as I do, via USB cable: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    And there are 3rd party apps such as http://www.photosync-app.com

  • How do I set up file sharing between iMAC and MacBook Pro?

    I am unable to use "file sharing".  When trying to connect as a "registered user" it asks for my server password.  What is that?  I have tried every password I think it could be.  I also can not connect as "using an Apple ID"

    You can set up "iCloud" on all of them and select there to sync your Documents.  You must be running Mountain Lion on the MBA and iOS 6 on the iPhone and iPad in order to use iCloud:

  • How do I sync Notes between iPhone and Macbook, preferably using a cable?

    I was running Lion before I upgraded to Mavericks.  I would sync notes via iTunes using a cable. 
    My understanding is that you have to use WiFi and iCloud with Mavericks, which if true is a really dumb limitation and a problematic one.  I do not have WiFi at home and often not when traveling.  But I do have a cable and my Macbook.
    Is there no way to sync Notes with a cable?

    At a standstill on a solution so I retried other suggestions I have found on various threads.  I have done this specific process multiple times but luckily this time it worked.  What helped was - on MBP went to Settings > iCloud then unchecked Notes.  Said ok to delete Notes from MBP (my most recent version is on my iPhone).  Waited about 5 min then went back to Settings > iCloud checked Notes, said ok to merge and now my Notes on iPhone and MBP are the same.  Will have to see what happens.  I had my phone connected to MBP vis USB and used wireless during process.  Hope this helps with your problem also.
