How to share network settings, internet between Mac OS X & Windows

I am using Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac to access Windows programs.  I am connected to the internet via a USB modem in Windows but cannot open a page in Safari in the Mac window.  There is no connection to the internet in the Mac version.  Also, is there a way to share documents between Windows and Mac?  

Read the blog article File Sharing With Snow Leopard: Sharing OS X 10.6 Files With Windows 7 and see if you can get the idea. If you are putting your Mac in a Windows domain then bookmark the site MacWindows.com because they have the best Administrator tips posts around.

  • How to stop any photo transferring between Mac and iphone

    how to stop any photo transferring between Mac and iphone ?

    This is a possibility. But please be aware using your Mac to emit a WiFi connection is a temporary solution. And it will get a short range unlike an actual WiFi Router. Also you may find it to be unstable at times. The Airport Card in your Mac was not designed to be a full time Router WiFi emitter. But more of a receiver to get the signal and use it for personal use.
    1. Unlock the network on your Mac make it an open network
    2. Go to your iPhone, Settings-Wireless-Tap on blue circle next to network name, Choose Forget network
    3. Now go back, It will rescan and find an open network, Connect, and see if Safari works
    If Safari works, Then you had a Security issue. Try using WEP 128 bit 13 character passkey or WEP 8 Character Passkey.
    Cheers and best of luck

  • What is the best way to share a specific folder between macs????

    Hello, I would like to share a specific folder between macs, heres what I need to do:
    1) share one folder that resides in my home folder
    2) the other mac should be able to view it without any login information (no password etc)
    How? What is the best way?

    Rick, are you saying that if you try to share a folder outside of home and use sharepoints, then the other mac wont prompt you to log in? Have you tried that? It is hard to believe that is the case
    I am sort of saying that. Have you tried it? I know it's hard to believe, but you really need to help us out by trying some steps that you don't believe.
    We can't see what your exact situation is. We sort of know what's worked for us out here. Just trying to help you get this going in less than 24 hours!
    Sharepoints manages the samba configuration file. It's free software that puts a pretty face on an otherwise cumbersome config file.
    Give it a shot.
    windows will not prompt for passwords, I have tried this with multiple computer at home for both vista and xp
    As I stated. You will not get prompted on windows, if you have set up sharing in an insecure fashion. You are not using a secured sharing situation.
    No argument with your statement.

  • How to transfer printer settings from one Mac to another (both OSX)?

    Hello, I have not found a detailed description on how to transfer printer settings from one Mac to another.
    My issue is that I have a Mac G5 with 3 different settings saved as "presets" for the same printer. This works great, since the posters I print (on the large format printer) need different margins and different paper at times.
    This G5 is basically retired and only used for printing. G5 has OSX 10.3.9
    I have a MacPro as its replacement (OSX 10.4.11).
    The MacPro has all my apps and other settings setup to my liking.
    I found several links via Google saying copy this folder or directory, but I am not sure I did it correctly. I don't see the "presets".
    I tried launching the Migration Assistant (I hope that's the correct name), but was concerned the settings on the new MacPro would be overwritten with ALL the old stuff on the older G5. I did not start the transfer process because of this.
    If someone would list the steps needed to accomplish the transfer of printer settings or advise if this is possible, then I would be very grateful! The previous user of the G5 I am using was a "Genius" and I don't know how he created these "preset" choices.
    Thanks!

    Hi SCChelpdesk, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I found several links via Google saying copy this folder or directory, but I am not sure I did it correctly. I don't see the "presets".
    This is the File that holds that info on Tiger, not certain on Panther...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.custompresets.plist
    After moving, you very well might have to change the Owner's Permissions within Get Info window, then log out/in.
    I tried launching the Migration Assistant (I hope that's the correct name), but was concerned the settings on the new MacPro would be overwritten with ALL the old stuff on the older G5. I did not start the transfer process because of this.
    MA would transfer the info, but/and, if the user that had that info had the same Shortname as on the new one, it'll demand you give it a new Shortname to use... but then those settings would be transferred to that new user on the new machine. I think the 1st one will work though.
    The previous user of the G5 I am using was a "Genius" and I don't know how he created these "preset" choices.
    We can go through that way if you like... not all that hard.

  • How to Restore Factory Settings on a Mac?

    How to Restore Factory Settings on a Mac OS X 10.6.8?
    I have been told you can do this without the Installation CD. I also do not remember the installation CD when i got the laptop. If it's possible then please someone let me know! if not then how can i get a new CD to do this?
    my computer keeps freezing on me at random times, and i have tried taking the laptop to my college tech support and also Best Buy and they said they can't do anything and that i need to try resetting the mac.

    You may not remember the installer disks but they came in the box. Your profile shows you are running 10.6.6 Snow Leopard. To restore back to factory settings you need those disks. That said to go that route may be unnecessry. Stay away from Best Buy tech people. They know nothing. Without the disks you do a repair disk to see if that helps:
    Start up your computer in single-user mode to reach the command line.
    Note: If necessary, perform a forced restart as described in the Emergency Troubleshooting Handbook that came with your computer. On desktop computers, you can do this by pressing the reset/interrupt button (if there is one) or holding down the power button for several seconds. On portable computers, simultaneously press the Command-Control-power keys. If your portable computer doesn't restart with this method, you may need to reset the Power Manager.
    At the command-line prompt type:
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:
    ** The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OKIf fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:
    ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
    Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
    When fsck reports that your volume is OK, type reboot at the prompt and then press Return.
    Your computer should start up normally and allow you to log in.

    It does not function the same as windows, in that it does not have an automatic snap function.  You can put multiple apps up side by side though.  You might want to consider using Spaces instead.

  • Internet connection not working: don't know how to change network settings

    I have a Macbook Pro with an internet connection that normally works fine. However, in my apartment, we are provided with a cable modem that has only one ethernet cable hook-up. Since we needed atleast two ethernet connections for two computers, we bought a switch that we hooked into the cable modem to give us extra ethernet ports.
    Recently, while hooking up my ethernet cord to the switch, I have not been able to connect to the internet. Network Diagnostics tells me my Built-in Ethernet is working correctly, but Network Settings are at yellow, and my ISP, Internet and Server have all failed. I have followed all instructions to check my connections, and restart the modem, switch and computer many, many times but there is no problem with any of these things. The other computer connects fine on the switch and cable modem.
    Additionally, under Network in System Preferences, I am being shown that there is an IP address and Subnet mask, so I am assuming there is nothing wrong with the cord, modem or switch (which work fine on the other computer), but there is no Router number, which seems odd. If it helps narrow things down, I am also trying to connect to the internet via DHCP rather than PPPoE, which is what I normally use.
    I am guessing I must have accidentally changed something to do with my network settings and it is not adapting to the cable modem any longer. Unfortunately, I do not know how to do this, nor what to change it to if I had to. My landlady knows nothing about what kind of network settings I need to connect to the internet service provider. Other than calling Time Warner Cable (who provides the cable modem with ethernet hook-up)is there anything else I can do or should be considering in order to get my internet connection working?

  • How to share an airport disc between PC and Mac

    I am planning to buy a airport station and connect my existing USB hard disc for sharing the data wirelessly among my PC and Mac book.
    My existing USB hard disc was partitioned into two parts to cater for different formats for PC and Mac book. One of the partition is used solely for Mac for backing up by time machine. The other is for sharing.
    Please advise if this can function the same by connecting to the airport station for using wirelessly.

    My existing USB hard disc was partitioned into two parts to cater for different formats for PC and Mac book.
    If one of the partitions is formatted for NTFS, the AirPort Base Station will NOT be able to read it or share it out to network clients. The AirPort works best with drives formatted for HPS+ and will share these drives out to Macs (using AFP) and PCs (using SMB).
    One of the partition is used solely for Mac for backing up by time machine. The other is for sharing.
    Unfortunately Apple does not support Time Machine backups to AirPort Disks (USB HDDs attached to the AirPort Extreme). ref: Time Machine doesn't back up to AirPort Disks

  • Network Topology: Internet to Mac to Router?

    If one wants uses a Mac to connect to a WiFi modem, turns on Internet Sharing to share the connection over Ethernet, and then connects an Ethernet cable to a router, should the router be in bridge mode? I don't have specifics because I'm inquiring on behalf of someone else.
    I was just hoping someone who knew could send a couple pointers my way.
    Many thanks in advance.

    In general your life will be much, much easier with fewer devices running NAT.
    In most cases the router that connects to your ISP runs NAT to link the public internet to your private LAN (typically a 192.168.x.x network).
    Now you're extending your network by using your Mac to link this network to another network. You do this by running NAT.
    If you add a wireless access point to the internal-internal network and you set it to also run NAT you're triple-NATting your network - one NAT at your ISP's router, one NAT on the Mac and another NAT on the wireless base station. ick, ick, ick.
    Given your question I would absolutely run the base station in bridge mode to act as a simple link between the wired and wireless clients. This will eliminate one level of NAT. You can do it the other way but there's absolutely no advantage and it just serves to complicate the setup.
    However, I have to ask why you don't set the wireless router as the first device (connected to your ISP) and have that run a single NAT for the entire network. That would seem to be the simplest solution all around.

  • How to reset network settings

    Hello, I cant figure out how to reset my network settings on my macbook pro
    I'm doing this because recently, in an effort to make my wireless work better (just bought a new router and it works great) I added an internet proxy to my network preferences (I'm ignorant to what a proxy actually is) and ever since then facebook and espn do not work on my browser. This is the message it displays on Google Chrome:
    Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to facebook.com
    Try reloading: facebook.com
    Additional suggestions:
    Access a cached copy of facebook.com
    Go to facebook.co
    On Safari all it says is that it cannot connect to the surver. After some proding on chrome, it told me that I should unselect any proxy's that were selected so this is what hinted to me that the reason I couldn't access these sites had something to do with the proxy meddling I did earlier. Even after unchecking all proxy settings it still doesn't work. PLEASE HELP!!!

    Ok It looks like it reset the settings on the network however I'm running into the same problem with the websites I'm trying to access. Do you know how to fix this?

  • How to reset network settings but keep Time Machine backup data?

    I am having problems connecting to the Internet through TC but works fine with Ethernet directly to the computer. I would like to wipe clean the network settings in Time Capsule but not lose the Time Machine backups. How to do this?
    thanks
    Ken

    Just perform a "hard" reset on the Time Capsule (TC). This type of reset will not erase existing backups on the TC's internal drive.
