How Do I Turn the File Sharing On, on my powerBook G4

Hello there,
I had always been able to send or share files from my PowerBook G4 to my G5, through the router of the house, because my G5 has no AirPort. My PowerBook had earlier this month, to be replaced from its hard drive and I heard that sometimes that can affect the airport. But, I do have access to internet (good thing!) I just cannot find it on the directory of my G5 and there are files on my G4, that I would like to bring into my G5.
Do you know what can I try to make it work again? Any suggestions?
thanks a lot!

Thanks so much Adrian!! I knew it was something simple, I was just too stressed yesterday to keep looking! Ja, awesome, thank you man!

    How do i turn off home sharing and transfer my ITunes library to another computer?

    Your music will only be where you put it.  You can download the itunes program and sign into your account on any computer, but your music/content will not be there unless you put it there.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod.  File>Transfer Purchases

  • How to undo the file sharing in your internal hard drive in Macbook?

    I thought the way to lock and unlock a file would also be the same procedure when locking the internal hard drive?
    Basically what happened is that I have an icon on my desktop (top-right corner) where I can access my applications, home, etc.
    I thought I could privitize my whole entire system if I just change the file sharing into "Read Only (Drop Box)" status.
    So I right-click on the icon, then clicked "Get Info," then clicked the lock button then it asked me for my password to be able to make changes.
    My fault was I made the "Home" and "Admin" to "Read Only (Drop Box) status and "Other Users" to "No Access" file sharing.
    Now in result I cannot click on anything. All the applications are lock. Even the System Preferences.
    Another problem I came across is that I tried to turn my MacBook on...and it would just stay on the white screen with the apple logo and it would just load for ever.
    So overall, my whole entire mac system is locked, can't open anything and I cannot turn on my Mac.
    I tried calling the Apple call support services. But my warranty has expired. I could pay for it, but I really do want to save.
    I hope someone can tell me a good solution. Next time I'll make sure not to do experiments anymore and stick to what I know.

    You need to do it as soon as you turn the computer back on. If you have a firmware password set on the computer, you'll need to know it and have a Mac OS X install DVD; if you don't have either and a firmware password is set, contact Apple.

  • I clicked all the buttons in the file sharing window and now my iMac will not turn on.

    I really goofed. I clicked all the buttons in the file sharing window (Screen sharing;File Sharing...Remote Login; Remote Management...Internet sharing) but I did not write down the IP address and now the computer will not turn on at all. Is there a way to roll back my stupidity and get this thing to turn on again?

    There's only one thing you can do: make an appointment with Apple genius at the Apple retail store for a out of warranty replacement.

  • How to check Whether the File is in Progress or used by some other resource

    Hi All,
    I am retrieving a file from the FTP server using Apache commons FTP.
    I need to check whether the file is fully retrieved or in progress.
    for now i can able to use the file which is partially retrieved. it is not throwing any file sharing exception or i am unable to find whether it is in progress.
    How to check whether the file is in progress ? or The file is accessed by some other resource ?
    Pls Help me.
    Thanks,
    J.Kathir

    Hi Vamsi,
    Explicitly such kind of requirement has not been catered and i dont think you would face a problem because any application that is writing to a file will open the file in the read only mode to any other simultaneous applications so i think your concerns although valid are already taken care off .
    In the remote case you still face a problem then as a work around. Tell the FTP administrator to set the property to maximum connections that can be made to ftp as one. I wonder if you have heard of the concept of FTP handle , basically the above workaround is based on that concept itself. This way only one application will be able to write.
    The file adapter will wait for its turn and then write the files.

  • HT4796 How can I take the files that were migrated from my PC to my Mac and add all those files to my current user instead of having 2 users?

    How can I take the files that were migrated from my PC to my Mac and add all those files to my current user instead of having 2 users? Having to log out just to sign in on a different user to access the files is absurd.
    Do I make all the files sharable to all the NOW users on the mac then just delete the files? Or can i erase my account that I made when starting up my new mac and then just use the one with the transferred files?
    I just dont want to have to og in and out of 2 different accounts .. Help please.

    Sorry. /Users is a folder path. It would be similar to C:\Users (if that exists on Windows).
    So, in the Finder, select Computer from the Go menu.
    You'll see Macintosh HD, double-click that to open it.
    In there you'll see several folders. One is Users. That is where all the user Home folders exist. Select the other account's home folder and go to step 3.
    If you have any more confusion, please stop and ask. We'll get there.
    If you feel more comfortable, you can just log into that other account and move the files into /Users/Shared.
    Then, log into the account you wish to use and copy the files from the Shared folder and paste them into your Home folder, wherever they belong, Documents, Music, Pictures, etc.  That just takes a little more work. Transferring them into Shared, and then copying into your home sets the permissions on the files so that you won't have a problem accessing them later. The steps I provided just prevent you from having to do the double move, since you are not going to use the old account once you are done.
    Quick unix shorthand. If someone gives you a file path that begins with a /, that means the root of the hard drive, ie Macintosh HD (if you haven't renamed it). The path separator in unix is /, not \.
    A path that starts with ~/ means your Home folder, the one inside /Users named with your account name.

  • How do I set up file sharing in Lion Server to work like file sharing in Lion Client?

    I've just installed Lion Server on my home iMac to enable remote access via VPN to my home network.
    When the iMac was running Lion Client (before the upgrade to server), and when File Sharing was enabled on the iMac; when other Macs on the LAN connected to the iMac via AFP, they were always able to connect to (share) any mounted external volumes (external USB or FireWire drives connected to the iMac). e.g.
    Now that I've upgraded to Lion Server, when other Macs on the LAN connected to the iMac via AFP they are only able to connect to (share) the sharepoints listed in the File Sharing pane of Server.app. e.g.
    Is there any way to set up File Sharing in Lion Server so that it works the same way as it does in Lion Client with respect to mounted external volumes? i.e. they are automatically shared? I know I can add each volume manually to File Sharing in Server.app but this gets tedious.
    Many thanks!

    I normally have a Firewall enabled. I recently had to do an erase and install of Lion, followed by a one-by-one re-install of all of my software. One of the first things I did was to set up all of my System Preferences the way I like them; Turning the Firewall on was one of them. Later I noticed it was off and turned it on again. I had already set up sharing and was surprised to see the problem when I turned it back on.
    As to why do I think it needs to be on. It is another part of my security layer.

  • How do I set up file sharing to keep my Quicken and Aperture files accessible and in synch across my network?

    I have a gigabyte ethernet network connecting my home and workshop.  I have an iMac (mid-2009 and late-2012) at each location running Mountain Lion and Windows 7 Home Premium under Parallels 8.  I want to be able to access my Quicken (for Windows), Office (for Mac) and photo (Aperture and iPhoto for Mac) files from either location and keep the files in synch.  How do I set up File Sharing to accomplish this and what process should I use when updating and saving changes?

    Use SugarSync.

  • How do I turn on photo sharing in itunes so I can see all my iphone photos on my ipad and home computer?

    How do I turn on home sharing so I can see all my iphone photos on all my devices, ipad, apple TV, and home computer?  I must have stopped home sharing when setting this up but would like to turn it on again.

    You might have been using the iPad every day and this issue could have cropped up anyway. I have read where users state that they used their iPad the night before, plugged in to charge it over night and they had the connect to iTunes message on the iPad the next morning.
    What I'm saying is that what happened to you can't be explained other than something went wrong. Brilliant I know, but how can anyone possibly know what happended for sure.
    Without a computer - and I know that with iOS 5 an iPad can be PC free - it is my belief that you could be facing issues down the line because even with iCloud - if you get the connect to iTunes message - there is no way to correct the problem without a computer.
    Even of you had been using the device every day, charging it every night and taking great pains to ensure that the iPad was well cared for, once the connect to iTunes message pops up - you still need a computer.
    Unless I have been missing something for the last six months, iCloud can't bail anyone out of this scenario.
