How do I share my Mac's Wifi Internet with my xbox (connected through Ethernet) in 10.8 Mountain Lion?

I am trying to use my MAC's wifi connection for my Xbox 360 using the Ethernet Cable. I've done it in the past in an earlier version of OSX which I saved the settings in a text file for later use... those settings do not work.
First Question: Do I use a Regular or Crossover Ethernet Cable?
Second Question: How do I get it to work?
I've tried all the 10.7 tutorials I could find (couldn't find any 10.8) as well as older ones but none seem to do the trick.
I have turned on Internet Sharing and Disable Little Snitch while testing, OSX Firewall is Disabled.
I tried Automatic Settings and also Manual ones from the tutorials...
Thanks for any help!

One workaround here. If you monitor the "More Like This" box (top right), other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads.

My backup to Time Capsule is taking over 4 million days. How can I shorten the time? I am not able to connect through ethernet. How do I fix this?

My backup to Time Capsule is taking over 4 million days. How can I shorten the time? I am not able to connect through ethernet. How do I fix this?
Not only that but my Mac Pro keep running and does not stop, my Address book has a blue light under it but wont open, the light for my monitor in the bottom right corner wont turn on or off. Please need help...

It sounds like there is an issue with the Mac itself.
Use the verify disk A5 in troubleshooting.

Even if you cannot connect by ethernet, at current location.. you can simply disconnect the TC from the network and bring it to the Mac and plug it in by ethernet. The TC can be reset if you haven't got a suitable current setup (save previous setup before you change it) and run just as backup device.. do the backup and then return it to the network.
If this is just a standard incremental backup.. then something has broken. The issue is not the TC pe se but failure in hardware somewhere.

How do I share a folder over the internet with Mountain Lion server?

I am new to using formal servers. In Snow Leopard I was able to use web sharing to serve a small website and if I wanted to share a folder with someone I would just provide the person I wanted to share a file with the path to the file inside the sites directory. With Mountain Lion this functionality was removed from the sharing section of system preferences.
I purchased mountain lion server and was able to restore the website serving ability, but I haven't been able to figure out how to share a folder. I am still looking over what documentation I can find, but for the most part it just tells me to set up the services without telling me how. Any assistance would be helpful. Networking is not my area of expertise.
Best Regards,
David Finell

I purchased server to assist with this as I am unfamiliar with the command line protocols for using apache. Because of the UNIX architechture of OSX and I presume apache, I am uncomfortable using the command line for fear of causing serious problems.
Unfortunately, the documentation that I have seen for mountain lion server is wanting in either its completeness or layout/functionability. To summarize the server instructions as I understand them. It just says to configure it and my system to meet my requirements without telling me how.
I am confident that both the apache command line and server are capable of accomplishing what I was able to do before under snow leopard. I just haven't figured out how.
I was able to provide a link to family and clients like http://ipaddress/~user/folder
This no longer works.

Want to use my mac as wifi hotspot with 3G USB connection

Howdy Folks,
I'd like to try an alternative to my local internet provider, which has now increased to $240/mo for less than 2mb/sec service. (I live in a remote place with just one provider)
The local cellular company offers 3G USB internet "sticks", and I would like to see if I can use that to tether my MacBook Pro as a hot spot.
And, better yet, is there a way to expand that to my Airport Extreme?
Or, use the USB connection on an Airport Express directly?
Anyone know a solution(s)?
I have a small cafe, so the purpose beyond personal use, would be to provide WiFi access for up to about 6 additional users.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, thanks. I'm still confused. So I turn Wi-Fi off and I try to select "personal hotspot" under "cellular data" and I get the following message: "wifi is off - personal hotspot will only be available over Bluetooth and USB. Do you also want to enable it over wifi?" Then it gives me two choices 1) Turn on Wifi or 2) Bluetooth and USB Only. If I choose 1 like I did today the bluebar appears but it's connected over a crappy wifi network...if I choose #2 the blue bar never appears and the ipad isn't a hotspot???

How can I share my mac book pro with my mac pro.

Hi,
Anyone know how can I share my mac book pro with my mac pro. At the moment I am in NewZealand and my Mac Pro is in UK. I used to share my both computer in UK in same network but I don't know how can I share with different network. Please help me.

You can't, currently only the iPhone has the personal hotspot function, it hasn't been enabled on the iPad - whether it will be possible in the future I don't know

How can i airplay from my mac connected through ethernet to an aple tv 2 on wifi

Hi everyone..
im having troubles using Airplay on my mac.. i connect my mac to the internet and home network using an ethernet connection to my router (non apple branded router) .. my apple tv 2 is connected to my home wifi network from the same router.. when i first set up my apple tv.. i was able to see the Airplay icon on itunes and it would let me Airplay media from my mac to my apple tv.. however.. it disconnects after a little while.. same thing with viewing my itunes library from apple tv.. i was able to detect my shared library from the apple tv.. i was able to play some media but then it disconnected after some time.. but now.. the Airplay icon doesnt show up in itunes anymore.. and i cant see my shared library from my apple tv neither.. ive looked around for a solution and followed the tip to turn the ipv6 off.. it worked for some time but now the problem is back..
i know the obvious solution is to connect my mac to the same wireless network as my apple tv.. but i would like to keep it connected through ethernet..
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4
Apple TV 2 software version 4.4.4
Thanks in advance

I wouldn't say that was the obvious answer at all, my Mac is connected by ethernet and 6 of my 7 Apple TV's are connected by wifi, I haven't had any of your problems. The problem is most likely on your network.
Intermittent problems
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
Consistent Problems
A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports
Port

Protocol

Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them.

HT2513 how do I share specific events on my calendar with others?

How do I share specific events on my calendar with others?

To share an entire calendar via mac and icloud you will either need a iCal server or to login with your icloud account with the computer you want the calendar on. I find the easiest way to share calendars is to sync your calendar with Google Calendar. Login to Google Calendar, under the "My Calendars" Tab on the left side, find the calendar you would like to share. Hover over it with the mouse and an upside down triangle will appear a little to the right of the calendar name. Click on the triangle and click share this calendar.

VirtualBox: How to share a guest's (XP) internet with the host (OS X)

I have an internet connection that can only be used on Windows operating systems (our school requires that we install an .exe login client to connect to the dorm internet). As I am currently using a Mac, my goal is to get the internet running in XP in a virtual machine, and then share the virtual machine's internet with the host. Here's what I've done so far (I'm pretty new to all this, so sorry if I leave out anything important!):
1) Install VirtualBox, create a new XP virtual machine
2) Add a Bridged Adaptor NIC to the guest allowing it access to the ethernet port
With this, I can use the internet fine in the guest, but have no internet in the host. (Note: Making the NIC NAT does not work. When set to NAT, the login client in XP can't find the school's server and I can't use the internet). The next step is getting the guest to share it's internet with the host. Here's what I've tried:
3) Add a second Host-only Adaptor NIC to the guest specifying the following:
IP: 192.168.22.2
Network Mask: 225.225.225.0
DHCP Server unclicked (disabled)
4) In the guest, enable Internet Connection Sharing for the internet connection.
At this point, LAN 2 in the guest (the connection to the host, I think) gets automatically configured with an IP of 192.168.22.1 and the same mask as above. Back in the host, I can ping 192.168.22.1 and get a response. But no internet.
I feel like I'm missing a step, namely how do I instruct the OS X host to use the Host-only connection as its internet connection? I can see the connection ("vboxnet0") when I use ifconfig in the terminal but I have no idea how to use the connection for internet. Anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks for your help!

OS X is passing the Internet connection to the guest OS, it doesn't work the other way around.
You will have to install Windows into Bootcamp and I don't think XP is supported any longer, however Win 7 Pro+ will run most XP programs.
Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?
You'll of course be booting the Mac directly into Windows and thus OS X won't be running, thus you can't share the Internet connection to OS X.
Another alternative is to use a Windows 7 Pro+ machine to connect to the network and then sharing it's Internet connection to the Mac via Ethernet cable or wirelessly.

How can I share (e-mail) NEF files shot with a Nikon d5100 in Lightroom 4.4?

I am new to shooting RAW NEF and then sharing them in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.4. How do you share (e-mail) NEF files shot with a Nikon
D5100 that have been downloaded into Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.4.? Isn't there someway to convert to JPEG for sharing. I have 50th wedding
anniversary photos taken and want to share with family and can't. Thank You for any assistance on this problem.

If you use the inbuilt email option your NEFs would be automatically converted to Jpeg, in accordance with the settings you choose bottom left of the email dialog box (or you can setup your own specific settings).
Alternatively you could export to Jpeg, then attach the exported files to an email outside Lightroom.
Or you could upload them to a web hosting site such as Flickr or Picasa, or maybe use Dropbox or similar.
Bottom line is there are lots of ways of sharing your pictures with your family.

Thanks again for you help. I finally got the music resting on my iPad moved into iTunes and then got the music resting on my iPod backed up in iTunes. Final step was to get the music on my iPad onto my iPod without loading the iPod music onto the iPad. I use my iPod strictly for music and don't want to clog my iPad with all those songs. Anyway, long process but it worked. Thanks again.

How do i share i tunes and i cloud with 2 iphones

how do i share i tunes and i cloud with 2 iphones, like when i buy music it will go to my husbands phone or vice versa!

Sharing an Apple ID for iTunes and App store purchases is not a problem. Just enter the same Apple ID in Settings>Store>Apple ID. You can turn on Automatic Downloads here as well. However, don't share the same iCloud account unless you want to have merged calendars and contacts. To maintain separation it's best to have separate iCloud accounts with different Apple IDs. (The Apple ID you use for iCloud does not have to be the same as the one you use for purchases in Settings>Store.)
