I am unable to share between my macro running lion and xp pro

I am tryng to share my public folder with a computer running XP pro. The computers name is AGFA and the User Name is quality litho. Same as the user on the mac. I tried to log in as guest. NOPE. Then I created a user named AGFA. Turned on windows sharing for that user. Still nothing. I thing the problem is when I put the user name and password in and hit OK, it automaticly puts AGFA/ in front of it. Any suggestions?

I would be happy if I could just log on as guest but when I try it saysays that \\Macpro is not accessible. The specified nework name is no longer available.

AirDrop transfer between Mac mini (late 2012) and MacBook Pro (late 2008) works only one way.

AirDrop transfer between Mac mini (late 2012) and MacBook Pro (late 2008) works only one way. I see both machines on both airdrop windows. Firewalls on both machines are set exactly the same way, and with Network Browser set to allow. Can send a file from Mac mini to MacBook, but not the other way. Never get a window asking to accept on the Mac mini.
Found no useful documentation on AirDrop anywhere in the whole support site.

Maybe this will work. From an Apple support article.
You can also use the Share button to send files to your neighbors via AirDrop. In a Finder window, select the item you want to share, and then click the Share button in the toolbar. For more information about the Share button, see this help topic:

Problems with migration assistant between macbook running leopard and macbook pro on lion

Hi,
I've just got a macbook pro running lion and am having difficulties transferring through a network from a macbook (running latest version of leopard) onto it.
It just keeps telling me to update migration assistant on my macbook, which I've tried doing but it already says it's completely up to date.
I've tried checking that filesharing/firewall etc. is enabled on both.
Does this mean I have to get a firewire cable? What do I need to do?
Thank you for any suggestions.

Turn off your Leopard machine, leave your Lion machine on. Connect your firewire cable between both computers. Start up the Leopard computer and immediately press and hold down the T key until the FireWire icon appears. The hard disk of the Leopard computer should become available to the Lion computer and will likely appear on desktop.

Have a MacBook Pro running Lion and an IMac running Snow Leopard. Want to Back up both images and restore on opposite machine. Essentially swapping images between hard drives. Is this possible and any "gotcha's" to look for? Thanks

Have a MacBook Pro running Lion (10.7.9) and an IMac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8). Want to Back up both images and restore on opposite machines. Essentially swapping images between hard drives. Is this possible and any "gotcha's" to look for? Thanks

If the MBP came with Lion, it most likely won't boot with SL. Easiest thing to do is create a bootable backup/clone of each to an ext HD, partitioned to hold each on a separate volume, ensure that the original machines can boot with their respective clones, and finally, try booting the other machine with the other clone. Images are useless since you can't boot with them to test them out.

How to share between iTunes 6.5.3 and iTunes 7.0.2

Hi
After upgrading one G4 to Panther (10.3.9) and iTunes 7.0.2, I tried to load the shared music from a different G4 running 10.2.8 and iTunes 6.5.3 and a message popped up indicating that the shared iTunes was "in-compatible" I get this "in-compatible" message when trying to share in either direction.
What do I do to get iTunes 6.5.3 <--> 7.0.2 to share beween Jaguar and Panther?
Is the only option to fall back to iTunes 6.5.3 on the Panther machine?
Ed

Here's an update.
First, I mis-typed the version no. of iTunes. It's 6.0.1 and 6.0.2, NOT 6.5.3 (that's QuickTime).
Secondly, further testing shows that the in-consistency is between iTunes 6 and iTunes 7 and does NOT involve the OS version no.
Partial-solution: If sharing iTunes between Jaguar and Panther machines, keep the iTunes running on both machines to version 6.x, DON'T upgrade the Panther machine to iTunes 7.
I haven't tested sharing w/machines running Tiger yet, since I haven't upgraded that far.

Is it possible to use iCloud between a MBA with Lion and a iMac with snow leopard?

I have an iMac with Mac OS X 10.6.8 and an MBA with Mac OS X 10.7.2. I want to use iCloud to synchronise my pages documents, my calendar and adressbook between the two. Is that possible?

icloud for snow leopard does work if you do the following:
Go to iCal preferences.
Set up new account.
Account Type: CalDAV
User Name: Your MobileMe / iCloud email address
Password: Your password for above
Server Address: p06-caldav.icloud.com

Can anyone tell me the compatability between macbook pro running lion and the kindle touch?

I originally wanted an Ipad, but when I already have a macbook pro, and an android phone, planning to upgrade to an iphone when I qualifiy for one, I could not see paying the money for an ipad when between my computer and phone I have all the capabilities covered. However, being a college student who uses pdf files of textbooks a lot, sometimes pulling out my laptop every time I want to look some little thing up in a textbook gets old. And carrying all my engineering textbooks everywhere is going to kill my back one of these days. So I want a cost friendy e-reader or tablet. Ive heard good things about kindles. But what is the compatibility like for a mac? will it be a pain in the but like my android?

Get an iPad. Once you have that, you may not really need to spend the money on an iPhone, since the iPad will do everything the iPhone does (and be easier to see doing it) except make phone calls, and even an Android phone can do that.

Video conferencing between iChat 4.0.2. and AIM Pro (on PC)

My girlfriend lives in Iowa and just bought a brand new Dell with Windows Vista. She has AIM Pro and I'm wondering if it is possible to video chat with her, using my new macbook and her new Dell. I've read many posts about this and there doesn't seem to be a clear answer. We haven't tried it yet because I don't want to have her buy a camera and then have it not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Same attempt here, last night.
I had not messed with iChat or with chatting in general to begin with.
My MBP/iChat >>> Windows Visa machine/AIM (NOT the Pro version I assume). Seems that we were soon enough able to IM between the two machines, but video/no audio took a while longer: and even then rather uncertain. We briefly got video between the two machines ONCE (I have no idea if we did something different though), and the rest of the time had "buddy authentification" issues. Seems that the two machines were acknowledging one another easily enough in the meantine.
i have checked around about iChat and learn somewhere that file sharing should be suspended while doing video/audio chatting.
But, in the end, what caught my attention is the following link:
http://robrohan.com/2007/11/30/trying-to-video-chat-between-mac-and-windows/
Seems explanatory enough. I have and use skype. I'll hae to have by Windows/Vista buddy install it and then we;ll try again!

Difference between upgraded Mac Book Air and Macbook Pro

Hi All,
So I was recently gifted a MacBook Air with unexpected upgrades. Here are the specs:
1.7GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz
8GB 1600MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM
512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage
The MacBook Air ended up with a severe battery issue and The Mac Store okayed an exchange on it. Upon realizing I had such an upgraded Macbook Air I started looking at exchanging it for a Pro. The sales folks really didn't answer my questions thouroughly, though I did end up going for the pro, I just feel it's a more solid computer. I got the one with a solid state hard drive, a 2.6 GHZ i5 processer and 8 GB 1600MHz DDR3 of memory.
Today I came across the specs on that Air and realized how much the processor had been upgraded. I'm frustruated that none of the sales folks really went over that with me, they just told me the Pro was nicer.
But now looking at the differences, I'm wondering if that MacBook Air with all it's upgrades actually nicer?
I'm hoping folks on this forum can explain the differences between these specs, especially the processors and how I'd experience the difference.

You shouldn't do. I'm infamous at multitasking. I will have a video paused, watching a few different youtube videos, had a few projects in word open. The Macbook Air never missed a beat. THanks to the SSD. If you're looking for portability go with the Air.
When it comes to Photoshop, it woud really depend on what you're doing in it. The SSD and Processor in the Air would help you a lot. But if you're editing larger pictures you might notice a bit of slug.
I have a 13 Macbook Air 2011 1.7ghz, 4gb, 128gb SSD for reference .

Sparks between external HD usb cable and Mac Pro case

Hi all,
I just wanted to see if anyone could say how usual (or not) this was - basically I noticed that as I go to plugin a usb cable which is connected to a powered external HD, any contact between the cable connector and the metal case of the mac cause little sparks.
I haven't noticed this before, although it's possible I was just more precise with my plugging ability
I had a search but all I could find was reference to the laptops or an iMac.
Thanks

It could be a problem with the power supply for the external HD. Does it have a three prong plug? If it's two-prong, try plugging it in the other way. It could be dangerous if it's a direct short from the lne input to the output in the HD power supply.

Bluetooth no longer works between iPhone 5 running iOS8 and my 2012 Buick LaCrosse

Since I uploaded the new iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 the Bluetooth connection is no longer working correctly in my 2012 Buick LaCrosse. The phone pairs (illuminating the Bluetooth icon in the car stereo display) however then it doesn't work. I cannot receive calls or can't make calls. The iPhone display shows "Calling" and the number shows, but nothing happens.
I tried the suggestion from ChrisJ4203 below, however it did not work for me.
“Go into the phone and remove the vehicle from the Bluetooth list. Turn Bluetooth off, and do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Then go into the vehicle and remove the iPhone from the list of paired devices. Turn the vehicle off and then back on again. Place the vehicle's system into discovery/pairing mode. Go into Settings on the phone and turn Bluetooth on. The devices should see each other.”
Any other ideas? My iPhone worked fine from Jan 2012 to now in this same car.

We have a 2011 Buick Enclave and the Pairing worked. I did have to hold the phone button, say Bluetooth, Say Delete, Say the specific device to Delete ...The Pair, I think enter the code (which changes each time you Pair) and then Name the New paired Device. To test it, I typically have to turn the vehicle off, leave the vehicle and walk far enough away to make sure the phone is not paired. While away, tune the phone totally off. Turn the phone back on, enter and turn key far enough to have the electrical systems come on, and then push the phone button in the car. Good Luck.

What's the difference between choosing "reinstall mountain Lion" and erasing hard drive and booting from base system?

I would like to know what the difference would be with the following two scenarios, both starting from the command + R menu at startup:
1. Chose the picture of the mountain lion "reinstall osx mountain lion
2. Erase the main hard drive, and then boot from "OSX base system"
If someone upgraded my macbook to mountain lion, did that upgrade also include a recovery partition and is that what one of these options is?

Should I use Samba to share between 2 Arch boxes?

Hey i have a few questions as i am a complete beginner when it comes to networking/filesharing, please bear with me. According to the wiki, Samba can be used to share local files between two unix pcs. I have it working right now and I've read the Samba wiki and i feel it is a bit lacking in information for a beginner, so i have a few questions...
1. I have it installed on both of the pcs i want to share between, with the same username and the same exact password, is this how it should be setup normally?
2. The main reason for attempting this is because i have an 8000 or so song collection and it seems silly to have the music on both cpu's, which is how i've had it set up. I succesfully connected to my laptop through nautilus using the smb://192.x.x.x/sharename method and put in the password and all seems fine, but i want to be sure that the other 3 pc's in my house (all windows) cannot connect to me and see my files. The wiki didn't help me there, and also did not go though the smb.conf settings thoroughly.
3. Exaile doesn't seem to be able to browse smb://xxx directories. If i can't load my music from the other pc to exaile then i have no use for this.
4. I'm listening to music from my laptop on my desktop at the moment (with VLC) and i'm typing this on my laptop and i'm noticing a slight lag every 20 seconds or so which never happened before, is this normal?
thanks for any input, i really have to clue what i'm doing here.

ok, nfs-4 seems like a good choice, but i am having a hard time understanding the wiki. from the wiki:
Exporting directories outside your NFS root
To do this, you'll need to use bind mounts. For example, to bind /home/john to /export/john:
# mount --bind /home/john /export/john
Then, /export/john needs to be added to /etc/exports:
/export 192.168.0.12(rw,fsid=0,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash)
/export/music 192.168.0.12(rw,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash)
/export/john 192.168.12(rw,no_subtree_check,async,no_root_squash,nohide)
The nohide option is required, because the kernel NFS server automatically hides mounted directories. To add the bind mount to /etc/fstab:
i dont really know what to do, i'm not familiar with exports and i don't think my pc's have the same ip (192.168.1.???) everytime if i reconnect the router or something. what does "nfs-root" mean?
Really all i want to achieve is accessing the home directory of the other pc and vice versa, while limiting access strictly to my pc's.

Differences Between The Asus P67 EVO And Pro?

Anyone know of the differences between the Asus P67 EVO and the Pro?
I want to buy an Asus P67 Pro Motherboard today, but there are only 2 left at Fry's and they are both open-box returns and the other Fry's has only 6 left and ALL are open-box returns. So I'm thinking there may be an issue with the Pro's?
Is the EVO just as good?
On the Asus site specs, it seems the only differences are:
(and I'm not sure what any of the following means)
-On the Pro, the PCIe x16-3 slot shares bandwidth with the ESATA12
-On the EVO, the PCIe x16-3 slot shares bandwidth with the ESATA3G and the PESATA3G
-The EVO has dual LAN's
-The EVO has a CMOS Switch
-The Pro has the "System Panel" Q-Connector
Adobe seems to be heading towards allowing 2 video cards.
Would the EVO limit me if this happens?
I notice there's only one EVO on the PPBM5 site in the upper realms (Novak).
There seems to be more Pro's.
I don't plan on doing huge overclocking, maybe minor.
Components to be used:
-i7 2600K
-Corsair Vengeance 16GB
-Corsair AX 850 Watt Gold
-EVGA GTX 460 1GB Superclocked
-OCZ Agility 3 SSD 120GB
-Seagate Barracuda 3GB Storage
-Seagate Barracuda 1GB for Exports, Page File, Previews, Media Cache
-Seagate Barracuda 3GB Storage in Acomdata Samba External Enclosure for Backup
-WD My Book 3GB External for Another Backup
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Guys.
