How to access Files / Folders on Mac from XP Laptop Using wireless network?

Hello, I have successfully set up my iMac and XP laptop to access the web via a wireless router. However I am wondering if there is a way for me to wirelessly connect to my files and folders on the Mac from the XP laptop? I am going nuts trying to figure this out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You can find lots of useful information on iFelix's page "Sharing files between a Windows XP PC and a Mac running OS 10.4.x".
If the folder you want to share isn't viaible, you can use SharePoints to make any folder available to share.

How do I share files between computers (mac's) on the same wireless network?

How do I share files between computers (mac's) on the same wireless network?

Turn on File Sharing in System Preferences - Sharing, then you should be able to see them in the other Macs' Finder sidebars (under Shared). Click on them, click Connect As, and log in with the user credentials you're sharing from.

Printing from pc laptop over wireless network

Hi,
I have been successful getting my mac to see my wife's xp pro laptop and the laptop sees the mac. I installed the canon i960 driver on the laptop but can't get it to print.
If I open the i960 q on the mac and send a file from the laptop nothing happens. If i send a file from the mac it shows up. Withe the q on hold and the mac file showing I send a file from the laptop and it shows in the q. If i resume printing the mac file will print but the laptop file just disappears.
If there is nothing in the q on the mac side the laptop file will not show up. when it does show up along with the mac file it does not print.
I can see the q on the lap top as on the the mac. I also get a general message that the laptop cannot communicate with the printer
Driver problem?
baffles me.
thanks

Have a look at this guide if you are running 10.4

Important note:
If the printer attached to the Mac is a black and white printer you need to use the Apple Laserwriter driver regardless of which printer you actually have.
So if you have a black and white laser printer, you should use the Apple Laserwriter driver.
If the printer attached is a colour printer use the Apple Color Laserwriter driver regardless of which printer you actually have.
So if you have a colour inkjet printer, you should use the Apple Color Laserwriter driver.

SMB sharing, accessing files on my mac from windows xp

Hey, I have my mac, 10.5.1, sharing a folder in my documents folder using SMB. I access it from my windows machine and some of the files are locked and cannot be accessed. How can i fix that? When i use ls -l it shows up the files but some don't have rwx on all the permissions. also there is a + or @ sign after most of them, what is that? Any one know how to make it so my xp machine can read and write files back to my mac using smb? thanks

It's hard to go further without getting into the nitty gritty of your network. Have you considered setting up a unique user as the owner of the files you need to share, and actually have the Windows users sign on to the Mac as that user? Also, only the 'share' user would manipulate the files from the Mac side.

How to access files between two Macs via Firewire cable?

I would like to access and copy some files from my PowerMac to my Mac mini. I am using a Firewire cable to connect the two computers, and I get the Firewire symbol floating around on my monitor, but nothing beyond that, and I don't know what the next step is to get to the desktop. Help?
(I also posted this question as part of an already "answered" post by another user... sorry for posting this twice.)

Hi BDAqua,
Sorry I dropped this thread last month; I would still love to figure this out, but haven't had time to deal with it since then. (In the meantime, I copied the files from the old computer - G3 - to CDs, in order to access them on the computer I use now - Mini/OS Tiger.) Anyway, so I'm writing to say thanks, and hopefully I will pick this thread up again soon... and hope you'll be around to help at that point.
(By the way, the floating firewire icon was the only thing that came up on the monitor, and nothing I did brought me to the desktop: no key, click or prayer did anything to move beyond that floating icon. So, I couldn't get an orange FW icon, or any HD icon at all, since there was only the floating icon, and nothing else...)
Thanks again.

How do I sahre a printer on XP with Leopard using wireless network?

Please help!

We'll start with the assumption that both the XP and Mac computers are connected to the same local network and functioning normally. You will need to so something on both the XP system, and the Mac:
On the XP computer:
1. Click on the Start Menu and click on the "My Network Places" icon.
2. In the list on the left, click "View network connections".
3. In the "Network Connections" window, find your network connection (probably "Local Area Connection").
4. Right click on your network connection, and select "Properties" from the pop-up menu.
5. Click on the "General" tab.
6. In the box labeled "This connection uses the following items", check the box labeled "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks", then click on "OK"
7. Reboot the XP machine (usually not necessary, but there are circumstances where it is).
8. Click on the Start Menu and select "Printers and Faxes"
9. Right-click on the icon for the printer you wish to share and select "Sharing..." from the pop-up menu.
10. On the sharing tab, click on the "Share this printer" bullet, and give the printer a name in the box labeled "Share name" (use something simple), then click on "OK".
On the Mac:
1. Go to the Apple menu in the upper left of the screen, click on it, and select "System Preferences..." form the menu.
2. Click on the "Print & Fax" icon in the second row of icons.
3. If the little padlock in the bottom left of the window is closed, you need to click on it and provide the administrator password to make your changes -- do that.
4. Click on the "+" button under the box labeled "Printers".
5. In the window that pops up, click on the "Windows" icon.
6. Navigate to your XP computer and printer like you would navigating to a file in Finder, and click on the printer's name (the one you typed in the box labelled "Share name" in the instructions above for setting up XP).
7. Select a printer model under "Print Using" (if you don't find an exact match, find the closest model by the same manufacturer).
8. Click "Add".

Get info then check permissions then add your curent user name (it was probably different on old Mac) and give your username full read/write permissions.

How do I copy FOLDERS to or from my iPad/iPhone/iPod touch using iTunes File Sharing?
I know how to copy files to or from using iTunes file sharing but it doesnt seem to allow copying of folders

From your PC or Mac, you can copy a folder (and it's contents) into the DropBox folder. It will then sync ans will be available in your DropBox app on the iPad.
GoodReader includes built in connectivity to DropBox, will pick up the contents and then allow you to easily copy files to other folders within it, as well as open files in other apps on your iPad.

How to browse files in time capsule from outstate?

how to browse files in time capsule from outstate?

I presume by outstate you mean remote access ie from internet in a different location??
If so google for remote access time capsule.
It is simple if you have TC setup as the main router and a static public IP.
Just go to finder, go, go to server and type in AFP://IPofTC
The TC has to be checked to allow wan access and use a decent password as the security for AFP is poor.

How to access Time Capsule 2013 disk from Windows 7

I have seen several (older) threads that suggest that you can access the Time Capsule disk from Windows 7 using Windows Explorer and navigating to \\Time-Capsule-Name. However, I have tried this repeatedly and just cannot get it to work.
Could this be a bug or unsupported in the latest 2013 Time Capsule?
In Airport Utility, under Disks > File Sharing, I have Enable File Sharing checked. The workgroup is WORKGROUP.
The IP address is 192.168.1.4. I am able to ping it successfully; I just cannot access it through Windows Explorer.
Am I missing something? Please help!

Are you running homegroup on the PC..??
That should definitely be turned off!!
Homegroup can mess things up.
I would try with ipv6 off but that might make no difference at all.. leave it set to local-link if it doesn't do anything.
There was issues when the Gen4 came out with security. Windows uses too high an encryption level..
See info here.
http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/changing-file-encryption-settings-on-a-win dows-7-h.pageCd-storyboard,pageNum-5.html
Change to 40 or 56 bit encyrption.
Unfortunately some of the controls you think you are setting on the TC are not really being set at all.. eg I doubt you are actually changing the workgroup.. if possible though you should have disk access set to lowest level .. device password and you should also turn on guest account to read and write.. that usually solved access for me in earlier TC .. I haven't bought an AC for the moment.. because.. well I believe I have done my time on the war front. I bled out already on the bleeding edge.. time for you to do it and I can reap the benefits on the second hardware revision and about the 10th firmware update.
Other things I would try if the above don't work.
Factory reset and start over.. you moved the IP of the TC and that is unwise.
Do not worry about the various settings.. do the factory reset.. in full isolation from the internet. ie TC plugged into the windows computer. Nothing else in either..
Now try at the default IP of the TC..
\\10.0.1.1
Beyond that you need another computer to try or some device. iOS would be fine... in normal situation you would test other protocols, eg ftp but TC offers only SMB and AFP.. there are no AFP clients for windows that I have heard of.. you might have success if you boot the PC from a linux live cd.. it should be able to read AFP even if it cannot write to it. But the SMB is more important. If linux can access with SMB protocol and windows cannot.. the issue is windws OS.
Or iOS devices have some AFP file browsers available but again just test with SMB.. most file browsers for iOS use SMB.. if other devices can manage SMB protocol to open files on the TC then the finger points very clearly to the PC as the trouble.. on the other hand if nothing can access SMB then the TC is faulty and should be replaced.

Not to mention that some FTP servers can return more than one return message per operation whereas others may return one message for the same operation.I had the problem using the LIST command to determine if a file exists on the server. Cannot be determined via the FTP server's return code. Which means parsing and checking the text response from the server to the command. And this vary from server to server.
But the basics were quite easy to code. The entire package is 500 lines, includes comments and blank lines for formatting, and supports the basic FTP client command set. Not really a complex piece of software to write - but I found that many developers seem to think that writing network socket software is complex. Not really the case...Mine's a big larger, but incorporates functionality similar to what Chris provided in his, such as being able to use SQL to query a remote file using pipelined functions, or functionality to write the results of a query directly to a remove file.

How can i download office for mac from a disc to my macbook air?

how can i download office for mac from a disc to my macbook air?

You have four options that I know of.
1) Use an external DVD drive that will work on the MBA. (Apple's external Superdrive for MBA)
2) Use a remote disk connection, using another Mac with a DVD drive, and sharing the drive with the MBA.
3) Download Office from Microsoft's website, and then use only the registration code that came with your DVD purchase to authorize the registration.
4) Copy the contents of the Office DVD to a USB flash drive, using another computer. Then install from that flash drive.
Maybe someone else has an idea, if none of the above will woek for you.

How To Access PAGE ITEM (single row) from HTML source

Hi Guys,
I have a page Item that return a string.
I would like to show this string
How To Access PAGE ITEM (single row) from HTML source?
My desire final output is
<marquee>:P1_PAGE_ITEM</marquee>
Can please help me
Thanks

Hi,
You can refer the page items in your page header as &itemname. For example, if I have page item P15_TEST, I will add the following in header:
<marquee>
&P15_TEST.
</marquee>But make sure that you have a process before header to populate the value in your page item. Otherwise, there will be a null scrolling (which you can't see!) :)
