How do i set up ethernet to another mac?
Specifically to be view from finder as another drive. I have them viewing each other but they always come up with the message "connection failure" instaneously. Troubleshooting help.
Thank you

Yall rock. Just tested Back to my Mac with my phone's hotspot and it worked! and so does airplay! Much Much appreciated!!
For double NAT the reset didn't work at first and I had to unplug all the connections but eventually got it back. I also checked "Enable detection of router-behind-router conditions" in the RG. Not sure if that did anything but I'm not seeing any AE warnings anymore.
Thanks again!

That's exactly what I tried to do, but the iPhoto librry doesn't show up in the pulldown menu. If I click "Choose Folder", the iPhoto library is greyed out and unable to be selected.
For some reason, iPhoto is an option in the pulldown library on my older iMac but not on my MacBook Pro. What gives?

How can I set a password on my Mac Mini so someone else cannot open it and read emails, etc.?

How can I set a password on my Mac Mini? Someone else is reading my emails. I would like to be able to lock it so nothing on it could be seen without a password. Is that possible? How?

So uncheck the automatic login after making sure you know your password and it will require a password on startup.
You can also go into the security preferences and have the machine lock itself once the screensaver is activated. This is sometimes controlled from the screensaver preferences as well.
You could also go nuts and activate multiple users where your name appears in the menu bar. When you walk away from the machine you can use that menu to take you to the "login window", effectively locking your machine.

How do I set up subfolders in a mac mailbox (mail 4.6)

Hello Forum,
I have set up a work account in mail 4.6. It's already starting to get out of hand. How do I set up sub folders to this account? It's a POP account.
I also have a Gmail account and to set up subfolders there I access Gmail online and they just come through to mailbox.
Thanks

You can influence when messages are deleted from the server in Preferences > Accounts > Advanced. If you are reading the mail on more than one device, typically you would set this on all devices to something like "delete one week after retrieving the message" so that each device has a chance to get the message before it is deleted. POP servers are not intended for long-term storage, and there might be space or time limitations imposed by the service provider.

How can I share contact list with another MAC

How can I share my contact list with another MAC?

Hi,
There does seem to be a presumption in the other reply that your girlfriend is living with you.
A File transfer via Bonjour would then work.
Also the File Sharing in System Preferences > Sharing would cause her computer to show up on your Finder's side bar as a Share.
With iChat if you both have AIM Login names you could still do File Transfers.
(It is slightly more complicated if you have Jabber ID logged in alothough not impossible).

Running Win7 on my Macbook Air Smoothly...but how do I load a program using another Mac's dvd drive?

Hi,
Any ideas on how to get dvd sharing running between two macs when your goal is to get the program loaded onto a macbook air running win7? I can't find an equivalent to the mac-mac disc sharing that I have on the OSX partition.
Thanks,
Hanz

i wish that was the answer....it only works if you are running OSX and targeting another OSX drive, or running OSX targeting a PC drive.
My macbook air is running win7, so I am interested in running Win7 and targeting an OSX drive. Unfortunately, remote disc does not run on windows.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
Thanks

How do I set up ethernet network having attached a MoCA adaptor from cable inlet into modem? It seems I need a "self assigned IP"?

I live in an old apartment building with very thick walls, and have a miserably spotty wireless network. In hopes of creating an undisturbed ethernet network for my computer and various other gadgets, I purchased two ActionTec Moca adapters, and set it up as suggested in a helpful review on Amazon: put one MOCA adapter "upstream" to the cable modem. The incoming coax with the Internet signal would plug into the MOCA "in" port then the MOCA's "out" coax goes into the coax on the cable modem. Then the LAN port on this MOCA goes into a LAN port on the switch/router. The Ethernet port on the modem goes into the WAN port on the same router. This "triangle" of connections is confusing to someone who is not networking savvy because they assume that all network connections have to be linear." The adaptors light up as they are meant to, indicating that the signal is there, and my iMac tells me thatDiagnostics window tells me that the internet connection appears to be working correctly." Only the little button in the Network Diagnostics panel next to 'Network Settings" is yellow. When I run the Setup Assistant, it says that "You cannot connect to ISP automatically, so you need to enter information to set up your connection. Selec the appropriate item then enter the required information. If you don't kow the infromation, contact your ISP." I checked "I have a DHCP Client ID and entered my IP address as copied from the network panel. It said congratulations you are now connected to the internet!" But then no browser window window would open, and Safari said "you are no longer connected to the internet". What did I do wrong?

I wouldn't expect the oMoCa adaptors to issue IP numbers, simply act as a passthrough to get the connection to the modem. It's not clear how you've got this set up or how the Airport comes into it.
From what you say the modem has several ethernet outputs - is this correct? - then you are directly connect to it by cable; and possibly an Airport Extreme is also connected to it.
Unless you are connected to the Airport either by cable or wireless it doesn't come into your own connection, though other computers may be connected through it.
If all this is as I described the modem must issue the IP numers and the Airport must have 'Connection sharing' in the 'Internet' section (after clicking 'Manual setup) set to 'Off (bridge mode)'. Then it simply passes the IP numbers issued by the modem through to any computers connected through it.
If the modem has only one ethernet output socket then it will be connected to a router (either the Airport or something else) through which everything else is connected, and that router should be set to issue the IP numbers as the modem will simply pass through the IP number issued by the ISP.
Whatever set up you have, you can only have one device issuing IP numbers or problems will result.
Your own Mac should be set to 'obtain an IP number automatically' or 'Use DHCP' (the same thing, and don't use 'DHCP with manual address). The number you are issued with will be in the 'local use' range, probably beginning with 192, and is not the same as the IP number seen by the outside world.

How do I set timed access for specific mac addresses?

My daughter tends to stay up late on social media long after we've asked her to go to bed, so I'd like to use the AirPort Utility to just shut off her internet access during set hours. It looks fairly straightforward to set up, however, I don't know how to find her MAC address for her iPod. Can anyone enlighten me?

iPods, IPhones, and iPads do not have a MAC Address.
On the iPod home screen, tap Settings
Scroll down and tap General
Tap About
Scroll down to locate the Wi-Fi Address
Use the WiFi Address of an iPod, iPhone, or iPad in place of the MAC Address when you are setting up rules in Timed Access.
