  • I want to share files between my MacBook Pro and G5, I am using an AirPort

    I want to share files between my MacBook Pro and G5, I am using an AirPort Extreme Base Station. I can see the MacBook Pro on the G5 and vice versa, I have file sharing turned on both, as well as Screen Sharing. I currently am sharing using Target Disk Mode, I want to know what other wireless options are available to me?
    I want to have the 2 computers able to see each other and be able to share files be drag and dropping, I also have another G4 on using Tiger I want to be a part of this happy Apple sharing family. Can someone please tell me how to accomplish my goal?
    Thanks in advance for reading and replying to my post,
    Sebastian

    The mac help is: Finder window/Help/Mac Help. It provides answers to a lot of common questions, including file sharing.
    As for the ethernet cable, you can either buy another one (inexpensive and available in many places including Walmart), or just unplug it from your modem temporarily and plug it back in when you're done.
    As for Target disk mode, take a look at this Apple article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
    Apple online support pages are also a great way to find out how to do things.
    As I mentioned, I prefer using the ethernet/file sharing method if I need to copy a lot of files; however, there is another way around if you have an external drive and just want to copy one or two files. Just plug the external into one computer, copy the file onto it, unplug, plug into the other computer and copy.

  • Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book.  Cannot turn these off.  They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used.  How to diagnose this

    Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book.  Cannot turn these off.  They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used.  How to diagnose this?

    First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Airdrop between mac book pro and iPhone 5c

    How do I airdrop between a macbook pro and iphone 5c?

    Is this still the case, or has the latest update for IOS and OS X (announced on WWDC in 2 June 2014) enabled file sharing between Iphone and Mac via Airdrop?
    When I open Airdrop in Finder on my Macbook pro (2013), it keeps searching for devices, but does not recognise my iphone 5s (on which wifi, bluetooth and airdrop are on). Any way to fix this?
    Thanks!

  • How do I know if my Mac Book Pro and iMac support Windows 7 64 bit

    How do I know if my Macbook Pro and iMac will support Windos 7 64 bit? Macbook Pro is 2.26 GHz Intel Duo Core and iMax is 3.06 GHz Intel Duo Core? I need a software application that runs only on Windows

    as i know, all the macs with intel CPU will run 64bit version of windows. so dont worry! but choosing 32 bit or 64 bit version of windows usually depends on how much ram you have unless you have to use some application that requires 64bit windows. if you have more than 3GB of ram go for 64bit.

  • Bluetooth connection between Mac book pro and IPad

    Hello,
    i am having trouble creating a Bluetooth connection between a Mac book pro running Mac OS X 10.6.8 and a IPad air 2 iOS 8.1.2.
    I have managed to pair the devices but when I try to create a connection to transfer data an error message on the Mac comes up saying "Bluetooth network unavailable, make sure device is on, in range and set up properly", similarly if a connection is tried from the iPad an error message comes up saying "make sure the device is on".
    Both devices Bluetooth is on and discoverable and i have managed to pair them but can't create a actual connection!
    Any help / ideas appreciated?
    Best regards

    Bluetooth paring for file transfer is not supported on iPads.
    You can use Airdrop if both devices support it, or a 3rd party App, but you cannot directly pair an iPad to a Macbook and transfer a file over the bluetooth connection.

  • I am looking for a fool-proof way to share files between Mac 10.6 and Win 7

    I need to share files BOTH WAYS between Mac OS 10.6 (latest rev - 10.6.3 at the time of this post) and Windows 7 Premium. Both computers are on a private network and both are on the same workgroup.
    I followed this tutorial:
    http://macs.about.com/od/filesharing/ss/file-sharing-with-snow-leopard-win7.htm
    and I got part of the way there. This tutorial shows me how to set up sharing using the "Sharing" pref pane. I set up a few folders for sharing to specific users (me) from the PC. I set permissions properly, and enabled SMB. Everything was by the book (I have shared between XP and older macs in the past, this is not totally new to me).
    For some reason, my Win 7 box is only able to see my public folder. I can set that folder (using the sharing panel in OSX) to read and write, so I can move files to and from it in Win7, but none of the other folders I shared on my Mac are available in Win7.
    I am accessing my shares in Win7 like this:
    \\192.168.123.130\Desktop
    that's my Mac's static IP and then the Desktop is one of my shared folders on the Mac.
    When I type that, I get an error in Win7 that says that folder is not accessible, and that I may not have permission. I am not prompted for a username/password at any point in the process.
    the only way I am able to access the Mac's public folder is because I type "\\192.168.123.130" in Windows 7 and I am presented with a list of shared printers on my Mac and then the public folder. My other Mac shares are not listed there.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Oh, one more thing. Is there a good tutorial anywhere for sharing Win7 folders to my Mac? All the ones I have found are not working.
    God, I really hate Windows sometimes.
    Thanks
    -----------S

    LAN Manager authentication level was already set to "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated" according to a web tutorial. I changed it to the option you recommended above.
    Still, only the public folder is visible.
    By the way - this is a brand new install of Windows 7. Almost nothing has been altered from its stock just-installed state.
    It is connected to my Mac via a cat-6 ethernet cable which is plugged into my Mac Pro's second ethernet port. I did this because the PC is a Maya workstation, and I do not want to slow it down by installing all of our corporation's IT-required software that slows our systems down. It is not connected to the open internet in any way - just file sharing to my Mac.
    My Mac is 192.168.123.130, the Win7 box is 192.168.123.132. Both have a subnet of 255.255.255.0 and a gateway of 192.168.123.130. I am UNABLE to ping the PC from the Mac. I am ABLE to ping the Mac from the PC.

    Hi 
    thanks to you both
    but when we install windows server as host there is not our windows in the 
    Internet\Network and sharing center\ ....... and in the file explorer > network 
    I found it when I add server host in server manager in guest server and manage it as host server user and then share files and folders from computer management and then create a shortcut from the share folder to desktop 
    and the did same for guest ... add guest server in server manager in the host server and manage it as guest server user and then share it's files and folders from the computer management and create a shortcut of share folder to desktop 
    if host windows be a client windows so this is so easy because after we install hyper-v win-server and go to file explorer > network > so we able to see both windows and all files and folders there but if host windows be a win-server we can't see them
    in file explorer > network 
    thanks you both again

  • Main difference between mac book pro and mac book

    Hi,
    I have been using boot camp "love it" My point.
    Which is the best lap top for using boot camp. I am considering buying a macbook and use it for site work ( Industrial plc programing ) with boot camp and maintain my MacBook Pro as my desktop workstation.
    Is the Macbook Pro more robust? Are the componets designed for a longer life ? than the regular macbook? or is it just the size of screen?
    G4 Cube /G4 power book/MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Is the Macbook Pro more robust?
    In actual fact I think the MacBook would be more robust. It is more designed with the average consumer and student in mind where the MBP is aimed more at "pro" users (whatever that means).
    Are the componets designed for a longer life ?
    That I don't know although "better" components are used in the MBP. You might notice how little a weight difference there is between the MB and 15" MBP.
    or is it just the size of screen?
    It's not just screen size and if you carefully compare the specs in each…
    http://www.apple.com/macbook/specs.html
    http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/specs.html
    … you'll see there are certain things that the MB can't do that the MBP can or the MBP can do better. For instance, one big difference is the GPU as well as 3GB RAM limit over 2GB.

    No, not all of them yet.  Some Mountain Lion features will require iOS6 to work like, for exemple, the iCloud Tabs in Safari.  For now this feature will sync youf Safari tabs between computer but iOS6, it will also work with your mobile devices.
