How to connect with another Mac via AFP

My parents have a Mac (10.4.8) which is in a different location than my own. They would like to send me some files however, I thought it would be easier if I could just log into their computer from mine, and grab the files myself.
How is this done, if at all? I have the AFP address of their computer (file sharing is on as is Apple Talk on both machines) but can't seem to get this to work by using the connect to server command?
Any help much appreciated!

If you have broadband internet then why not send the files via email. Quick, simple.
If your computers can be connected via Ethernet or wireless, then you can use file sharing. However, you must be able to communicate directly. That means connecting an Ethernet cable between the two computers or being able to communicate wirelessly - wireless modem, Ethernet modem connected to a wireless router, and Airport cards in both computers.

i am not able to connect with another ipod via bluetooth can u pls help me

Are yo trying to pair via an app that supports BT pairing? If you are I would try:
- Resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
-Resetting network settings on the iPod: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

Sharing Internet with another Mac via Bluetooth

I'm trying to help my wireless-less iMac G5 get online. It sits about two inches away from a MacBook Pro on my desk, which connects to the household wireless network via the in-built AirPort card. I'm hoping I can share that AirPort connection via Bluetooth.
Both systems are running Leopard, although the G5 is running a vanilla 10.5.0 install since I can't update without an Internet connection. The MacBook Pro is up-to-date and then some.
On the MacBook Pro, under System Preferences -> Bluetooth -> Advanced, I've checked "Share my Internet connection with other Bluetooth devices." Under Sharing, I've turned on Internet Sharing from AirPort to Bluetooth PAN. I've also paired the devices together.
I'm trying to connect from the iMac G5 to the MacBook Pro with "Connect to Network" in the Bluetooth menu. However, it's grayed out. If I do the same from the gear menu in System Preferences -> Bluetooth, nothing occurs.
This seems like a pretty complicated process for a technology that's meant to make networking child's play.

You're making life very complicated for yourself!
1) Bluetooth is far too slow for sharing an internet connection, unless you like accessing the internet at dial-up speeds or less.
2) As the computers are so close, just run an Ethernet or Firewire cable between the two to create a network, and share the internet connection over Ethernet or Firewire.
3) You can easily update the G5 to the latest Leopard by downloading the standalone updater on the internet connected Mac from the Apple web-site, then just copy the Update to the G5 via CD, DVD, USB Disk, Firewire Cable, Ethernet Cable, external hard disk etc...

Unable to figure out how to connect with another S...

First off, my Skype number keeps saying invalid. I have credit. Second, my profile reads my flour number is not active. I had this one originally #########. Yesterday I attempted to change it or add a new one #######. I was never given any type of confirmation as to whether my Skype number changed to the latter number 732... Or not. I can use either one it's just when the original wasn't working I thought I should try to change. I NEED TO CONNECT WITH SOMEONE IN THE UK who is also having difficulty on his end. His number he created to speak with me here is #######. His Skype name is xxxxx8 I am pending request to link to him. But why are my numbers telling me they're invalid? MUST I HAVE WIFI TO CONNECT? I do not of that's the case. My email is [email protected]

Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing.

Connecting to another Mac via ethernet

I have been doing some importing and editing on a 13" Macbook Pro and want to transfer some Events and Projects to my MacPro via a direct ethernet connection between the 2 machines.
I can see each of the connected computers in each of their Finder windows and the various HD's. However the HD's from the connected computer does not show up in FCPx as a connected drive. Is it possible to achieve this. Following is the view from the Finder window on the Macbook. I want to copy/move files to the Video Media HD.
Cheers

FCP X does not support shared drives in that way. Just copy the folders for each Event and each Project you want using the Finder and you will be fine.
There is one important thing to note, though: if when you imported the media to your events you did not check the "Copy files to the Event folder" box, your event will contain "aliases" (technically, symlinks) to the original media, not the files themselves. In this case, you may want to first "Organize Event Files" for those events in FCP X first - so that you actually copy the media to the other machine.

Sharing internet connection with another mac

I have a 2.33 GHz Intel Core Duo iMac with 2 GB memory running Leopard 10.5.1 and connect to the internet through a cable modem into my ethernet port. I have internet sharing and Airport on. My daughter has an iMac G4 running 10.3.9 and gets her internet connection through my computer through an Airport connection. This was working well until I upgraded to Leopard and now she is unable to connect. Either my computer does not show up on her list of available networks or it will show up only briefly. When it does show and she tries to connect, she gets an error message stating there is a problem connecting. Never happened before he Leopard upgrade. Any ideas?

Thanks again both...
I think I have done exactly as you suggest. The USB modem is in the MBA USB port and connects to the mobile signal giving a good, fast connection - allowing my MBA to use safari and mail very well and with good download speeds. I go in to system preferences, internet and network, sharing and internet sharing in the "share connection from" I choose ZTEUSBModem. In the "to computers using" I tick Airport. In airport options I've tried 40 and 128 bit WEP. The ipad sees a wireless network and connects using the password I set in the internet sharing, airport options section. However, if you try to look at a web page, it just sits there for a bit but doesn't work. I tried my Iphone 4 last night and got the same result. Both work fine with my usual home wifi network, just can't get them to play nice with this USB mobile broadband modem....
Thanks again for trying to help..

My Mac Mini client cannot find or connect with the server on my 4 station network. I am able to connect with the server using the same ethernet connection with another Mac. Any suggestions?

I am using DHCP/automatic running OS 10.4.11. I upgraded to 10.5 but this did not help.

Sharing files with another mac

I have some videos on Iphoto that I want to share with another Mac via the cloud. How do they find it on their computer?

One of the most secure way to share files over the internet is to use an sftp server.
Goto your system preferences-->sharing-->turn on remote login.
Then on your router's or firewalls port forward tcp port 22 to your mac. Then you can log into each others mac using an SFTP client such as transmit or cyberduck.

Connecting problems with iphone after a closed connection with a Mac

Hi!
I have set up 4 ssl vpn with different shared keys. The connection with each Mac via Securitas is working fine. Additinaly I have set up a ssl vpn for an iPhone iOS4. If the SA 540 is rebooted I can connect to the SA with the iphone without any problems, one tine, two times...
But after I had closed a vpn-Mac-connection it is not possible to connect with the iphone again: the shared key is not correct. In this case the iphone tried to connect with its own shared key - a different one to the Mac connection.
So I set all shared keys to the same. After reboot of the SA the connection of the iphone works well. After a running or closed Mac connection the iphone could not connect to the SA: Error: communication with VPN-Server failed.
So it is not possible to connect with an iphone and an ssl client at the same time. The iphone can only make a connection after a long time again.
Has anybody a solution for that issue?
The latest firmware is installed.
Thanks a lot!
Jens

This is a normal behavior when NAT-T is not enabled. Without NAT-T, the firewall cannot PAT ESP packets because there is no port (UDP or TCP) in the packet. Hence, every packet leaving the WAN interface has the same source address and no source port by which the return traffic can be identified and translated back to the inside address. With NAT-T enabled, the packet is encapsulated in UDP before being translated by NAT; therefore, each IPSec host on the inside of the firewall gets a unique PAT'ed source UDP port after the PAT is peformed and before the packet is sent out of the WAN interface; hence, when the return traffic arrives in the WAN interface, the firewall knows which PAT rule to use to send the return traffic back to the host on the inside of the firewall that originated the IPSec VPN connection.
Therefore, with NAT-T disabled, only one host behind a PAT firewall/router can establish an IPSec VPN tunnel to a host on the Internet at one time.
Besides the requirement of having NAT-T enabled for multiple hosts to be able to establish an IPSec VPN tunnel from behind a PAT firewall/router, you should also make sure that there's a firewall rule applied inbound on the WAN interface that allows UDP 4500; otherwise, NAT-T will not work. NAT-T uses UDP 4500 for IKE negotiations. Without NAT-T, IKE uses UDP 500.

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).

How do I get my iphone to connect with my PC via WiFi

How do I get my iphone to connect with my PC via WiFi?

I Believe you are trying to use personal hotspot so you can use your 3G/LTE on your pc.
If that's the question, you'll need to turn on "Personal Hotspot" in settings (it's right below bluetooth), then go to your Mac/PC and connect to your iphone as you would with a normal wi-fi connection. You can change the random default password in the same menu where you have turned on "Personal Hotspot"

The circuit of my macbook is dead yet the hard drive is fine. I need to access a file from the hard drive, how can i do this? is there a cable i can connect to another mac that will let me transfer the file?

The circuit of my macbook is dead yet the hard drive is fine. I need to access a file from the hard drive, how can i do this? The mac turns on the screen freezes as bright blue. Is there a cable i can connect to another mac that will let me transfer the file?

There is another option if the Macbook will start up in Target Disk Mode.
Restart the computer while holding down the T key. If you see the firewire symbol moving around on the screen you can connect this one to another one in TDM. You will need a suitable cable to connect the two Macs.
