I am unable to share files satisfactorily over my home network between Mac and Windows

Please advise.
I have an iMac with a LaCie Thunderbolt external hard drive and a Windows 7 laptop connected via ethernet network to a Belkin router with a WD MyBook Live Duo attached to it via USB. The iMac also has a virtual PC in it using VMWare.
I have never been able to get file sharing to work satisfactorily across the network.
From the iMac, which is now running Yosemite, I can access the laptop and the external hard drive fine, but connections to the WD network drive are very slow and unreliable.
From the laptop, I can access the iMac and the WD network drive OK but while the LaCie share formatted for windows is visible, I am unable to open the individual files.
I was advised that I need a server. I have therefore bought and installed OS X Server on my Mac but I don't understand it and have absolutely no idea what to do to make it work. I open the LaCie share for example and cannot change anything - I get the message " 'Ignore ownership on this volume' is turned on for the volume containing the Share Point. All permissions will be ignored. This can be turned off in the 'Get info' window in the Finder." Except it can't, because there is no such option in that window.
I can find no help anywhere for this. Please tell me how I set my network up so that files can be shared freely across it.

File transfer between Mac and Windows

I am running Windows on my Mac and I transfer files between mac and Windows alot using my external hard drive. I was wondering if there was an easier way to do this than having to use my external hard drive like a networking solution or something. Thanks...

i also run windows on my mac (for work). The issue i had was that when booted in osx, i could see the windows partition, and copy files FROM it to the mac side, but i could not copy files TO the windows partition.
As i understand it, this is because the apple NTFS driver (to read the windows partition) only allows read access (not read and write access). It was easily solved with MacFuse (which is an open source way to add different disk file systems to your mac, kind of like teaching it a new language), and NTFS-3G for mac osx.
http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/
scroll down a bit for the download link. The installer will put in MacFuse and NTFS-3G, so it's the only one you need.
After a reboot, i can read/write to the windows partition while booted into macosx (and it's free).
i hope that helps.
p.s. the efi boot manager download is NOT required.

Setting up a small business network using mac and windows pcs

Setting up a small business network using mac and windows??

Ok that sounds great. What is your actual question as it relates to AirPort networking? Is it: Can I set up a wired/wireless network with an AirPort base station that support multiple Mac & PC clients? If so the answer is yes.
If, instead, it is how to I configure an AirPort network to support a small business you will have to provide more details on both your networking & computing equipment in order for any of us to help you.

Share files between Mac and Windows in same iMac with boot camp

Hello,
I am new in using Mac and recently I buy a IMac 24" model.
I used to use PC a long time with a lot of old document.
I want to install Windows XP with boot camp.
But I also want to share my documents, music, video files between Mac and Windows in same iMac.
How can I do this?
Thanks in advance,
Eric

Hi Eric and welcome to Discussions and the Apple world.
Mac OSX can read and write from Windows partitions (like the BootCamp Windows partition you are about to create) when using FAT32 as file system for Windows.
However with FAT32 you are limited to a partition size of 32GB.
Mac OSX can also read from Windows partitions that uses the NTFS file system, but it can not write to them unless you use a third-party helper like either Paragons NTFS for Mac http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ or NTFS-3G http://www.ntfs-3g.org/
Windows can not even see or use a Mac OSX partition without additional help by MacDrive http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/

Help: symbol shifting between mac and windows, flash cs3

I'm doing work reviewing flash files created by other users
on mac and windows. I'm using os x 10.5.6. When I open a file
created in windows / flash cs3 some symbols on the stage will have
shifted upwards on the y axis. If I correct the shift and then send
it back to the windows user they see the symbols incorrectly
aligned, as if I had moved symbols around on a correctly aligned
file.
The strange thing is not everything on the stage is shifted.
Only particular symbols will move, and it's usually symbols only
(not text frames, drawing objects, etc).
I believe there's a general history of bad behavior when
saving flash files and trading them back and forth between mac and
windows, but does anyone know what may be causing this? Or a
remedy?
Thank you in advance.
Peter

also, I tried opening the same files in vista using a mac
mini with vista installed on a bootcamp partition. When opening
other windows authored flash files there I had shifting issues as
well, so I'm not convinced it's strictly a mac vs. windows issue.
Unless it's a flash cs3 on windows xp doesn't like mac flash cs3
and vista flash cs3...

Transferring keyboard shortcuts between Mac and Windows

I need to migrate users from Mac (CS 5.5) to Windows 7 (CS 6). I have tried to transfer a user's custom keyboard shortcut set by copying the .indk file to the appropriate folder on the PC, and although it shows up in the list, when I try to select the set I get an error saying it is in the wrong format or the file could be damaged. Is there a way of transferring keyboard shortcuts between Mac and Windows?

Shortcut sets seem to be human-readable text files, so you could try making a copy and doing some editing, changing cmd to ctrl and opt to alt, and change the platform value in the first line to "win" though I can't make any promise it will work.
There are also some known problems trying to migrate legacy sets into newer versions of ID since CS5, I think.

Syncing between mac and windows

I have an issue where I have created files in Adobe Draw (and previously in Ideas) which I have then saved to the Creative Cloud. I open these files in Illustrator on my Mac, save them back to the cloud then open them on a Windows PC. When I save these files on the PC, I get the Unable to Sync Files error message. I have gone through these solutions Error: "Unable to sync files" but no solution applies. If I create a file on my PC, it syncs fine. Is there a known issue when sharing files between Mac and Windows? I can save the files to Dropbox or email them and I don't have this issue. Thanks

Hello,
Would you be able to send me your log files so I can better see what might be causing this issue issue. I will need Logs from both your Mac and Windows machines please.

VPN -- different behavior between Mac and Windows XP clients.

Hi,
Background:
I have a Mini server serving L2TP IPSEC vpn with both Mac and Windows (all XP, so far) clients.
The mini sits behind a Netopia router/firewall/NAT box that port forwards L2TP traffic to the mini.
The mini has a public but unrouted address (unrouted in the public Internet, that is.) The same Netopia serves as the router for outgoing public connections. DNS is served by other servers.
The VPN clients are distributed addresses from the unrouted public address space.
Client <-> NAT <-> Public Cloud <-> NAT <-> Private (with public addresses) <-> Mini (VPN)
Mac clients work happily, accessing internal and external hosts.
The XP clients have a registry value set to allow NAT traversal:
under HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\IPSec, AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule is set to 2 to allow dual Nat traversal.
The XP clients happily access internal hosts, but hang accessing some, but not all external hosts.
For example, most Google services are quickly displayed, whereas www.comcast.net or www.llbean.net hang. It appears to be more frequent accessing third-party hosts while processing the initial page. Some Google web services, e.g. some Google Map plugins do eventually hang.
An XP host internal to the network configured with the above registry key set to 0 (No NAT traversal)
exhibits the same behavior when using a VPN connection
Public Cloud <-> NAT <-> Private (with public addresses) <-> Mini (VPN) <-> Pvt. <-> Client
Same host without VPN works fine.
Clearing the XP checkbox that routes all traffic to the remote (VPN) router makes external hosts work
as you would expect.
So my questions are:
a) What's XP doing?
b) Can it be fixed? (besides routing public traffic away from the VPN.)
Thanks Jonathan
p.s. MrHoffman, I almost asked this in the HP Forum as well, till I noticed you were here. (Assuming you are Hoff.)

Hi soccerdude21490-
+Is this possible?+
Theoretically yes. However, it would be up to the school to allow you access through their network.
The first step would be to contact the school's IT department and ask them if they will allow such a connection, and if so, could they please provide you with the settings (ip address etc.).

Sharing files between mac and windows

Hello, I have recently purchased a new mac computer and I would like to transfer files from my old windows computer onto this new one and vice versa. I have tried using an external hard drive to do this, but I found that it can only be formatted to one OS at one time. Does anybody have any ideas of how I can accomplish this? Thank you so much for your help everyone!

I'm not clear as to the current format of the drive. Since you say it is working with MacDrive I am assuming it is currently NTFS. You also say this is for a "new computer" so is this really a Leopard OS computer, making this a Leopard OS question? There's differences in the capabilities of the different systems.
As for MacDrive, if it works and it's the only program then you'll have to pay for it. I'd say if you're just using it this once for this one application you could probably buy a used drive for $50 to allow you to clear some files off the one you want to use and reformat it. Drives formatted to FAT32 can hold files up to 4GB in size and work with both Mac and Windows. Unless this is for video I don't see a severe restriction to reformatting to FAT32 and using that.

Firewire between Mac and Windows

Hi,
I'm having some problems to connect Windows 7 and Mac OS X (10.6.5) with firewire.
I've installed ubcore drivers (from unibrain) on windows to have firewire network drivers.
The network works perfectly between Windows and bootcamp, between Mac and Linux, and in target mode between the MBP and windows. But i've got an error when i try to connect Windows and Mac.
Windows seems to have a new hardware connected, and is searching for drivers that it doesn't find, and Mac gives me an error :
ERROR: FireWire (OHCI) Lucent ID 5901 built-in: handleUnrecoverableErrorInt.
It seems like Mac is not mounting a network connection over the firewire, but something else.
Is there a way to force network mode for firewire ? Or is the problem somewhere else ?

So, i've got my answer.
You can't use firewire between Mac OS X 10.6.5 and Win7. Unibrain doesn't support it, and i can't find any other way to make it work...so you just can't.
So sad :'(

Switching between Mac and Windows platforms

Hi there
Are there any problems with using an external hard drive and moving back and forth between a Mac and a Windows PC? I'm mainly using MS Office documents but am concerned that they might corrupt if I switch back and forth betwen Mac and Windows.
Any pointers or suggestions?
Cheers

Hi Sharif,
Thanks for your answer. If I could just ask for some clarification
Sure thing, tht's why we are here, aren't we ?
If I buy a new external drive, should I then use Disk Utility to format it according to the guidelines you've given?
1. Start Disk Utility
2. In the left pane click on the external harddisk
3. Click on the 'Partition'-Tab in the right pane
4. Choose 'One Partition'
5. Choose 'MS-DOS' and enter a "Name"
6. Click on the 'Options'-Button and set MBR as partition scheme
7. run the partitioning
And in doing so, this will make the drive stable across platforms?
Has worked for me on a number of external harddisks.
Although I personally share the hatters opinion about NTFS being the better file system.
But as said you have to use a third-party helper in OSX to write to NTFS harddisks.

Stefan

Partitioning Internal Hard Drive between Mac and Windows

So I receently ordered a new MacBook to replace my old PC and my old Mac. With 2 GB of Video Ram (With the Nvidia 750M), I was hoping to be able to run my Steam Games decently (I understand that a Mac isn't going to run on max graphics or anything, but I figure it will do alright) using Boot Camp.
My question is how would you guys recommend partitioning the 1 TB internal drive? I was hoping for a Mac and a PC System Partition with the majority of the storage space left as "shared" between them (I use Paragon NTFS for Mac, and MacDrive for PC, so I'm not sure what format would be most stable for the shared storage). What do you guys recommend?

Well, let me start by saying that with the default Boot Camp tools, you probably won't be able to setup more than the 2 OS partitions on the internal drive of your notebook. Not that it can't be done with other tools, but it is not a quick and easy setup to do, so if you are going to undertake it, please be prepared for issues, and do it from the beginning. There is a decent thread on this forum about "repairing after you change your partitions" which has plenty of information about the problems you will be facing and how to work around most of them.
Having said that, when I was using Boot Camp on my MBP with a 750GB drive, I gave 500GB to MacOS, and 250GB to Windows 7. I also used Paragon's NTFS for MacOS driver, and Paragon's HFS+ for Windows driver (after having use MacDrive for several years). This combination allowed both OSes full access to the entire 750GB drive, and I put my Thunderbird and FireFox profiles on the MacOS partition, but could access them from either OS that was booted. That solution worked great for me for years (until I upgraded my MBP and opted to eliminate Boot Camp and only run VMs for Windows).
With the proper drivers, either OS would be able to utilize your external drives, but keep in mind there are still some Mac utilities/apps which will only work with an HFS+ formatted partition, just like there are some Windows programs that do the same with NTFS. Personally I found that I would have to "share" my external drives with other Windows users more than Mac users, so I formatted most of mine NTFS, and just took the minor performance hit when accessing them under MacOS.

How to Set Up Network Between IMAC and Windows XP

Hi
I have a new Imac 27 inch in my study and a PC running Windows XP downstairs - I don't know how to set up the PC and when I phone apple support they could only tell me how to file share from the IMAC end - would be grateful for some help

First of all, it is easier if your Windows user has a password, it may not be the case, if not, you should set one.
Then check your firewall settings. if it is activated, go to your network connection's properties, choose the Exceptions tab, and check "File sharing" so that it will no longer be blocked.
From now on, you should be able to connect to your computer from the finder.
Choose Go > Connect to server
Then in the address, type smb://ip.address.of.windows/ and OK
after a short time, it will prompt you for your username and password, and you should be able to access your Windows resources.
If your Mac and Windows are in the same workgroup (set in computer properties in Windows, and in Network properties in Mac) it will appear in any finder window side bar.

How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"? (Library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes for Mac. Now getting update wars between Mac and Windows versions of the player.

How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"?
My library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes on a Mac. I can connect from wife's Windows laptop using iTunes for Windows but every time I do, it Updates iTunes Library. Next time I log in from my Mac it Updates iTunes Library in return. It appears I'm experiencing "Update Wars" between the Mac and Windows versions of iTunes. I would like to allow my wife to stream iTunes songs to her new laptop but I don't want any updates from this source... prefer to manage the library from my Mac and not allow Windows to do any thing other than listen to existing playlists.
Thanks for any help/suggestions.

Connect the PC to the library on the NAS. Wait while "updated".
Under Edit > Preferences > Advanced make sure the media folder is correctly pointed at the media folder on the NAS. If not correct, close iTunes, wait a few moments, then open iTunes again.
Close iTunes on the PC. Do not open iTunes on the Mac.
Copy the library files, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, sentinel and the folder Album Artwork into an empty iTunes folder on the PC, for example C:\iTunes.
Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down SHIFT. Keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the copied .itl file, e.g. C:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
The library should now work properly on the PC, however check the setting for the media folder. If needs be correct, close iTunes and reopen.
Open iTunes on the Mac. It will update again, but that should be last time.
