IMAC and MacBook connected via ethernet. Can see "Bob's" public folder on "Betty" but not allowed to move or open files. Want to Bob-- Betty (my new computer) permanently.  Adjusted "permissions" everywhere I think

Old computer HDD named Bob, new one named Betty.  Trying to transfer crucial files via ethernet. Have connection, can see Bob's public folder on Betty. When try to move or open anything there, tells me I do not have permission to either view or read respectively. I changed permission on the item to read/write for Betty.  Made Betty an admin on Bob etc. What can I do?
Thank you!

Do have file sharing and remote login checked
When on Betty's computer, Sign into Bob's computer with Bob's username & Bob's Password, instead of Betty's.
BINGO!!!!  Problem solved.  Many thanks!!!

  • How come my iMac and MacBook connect to my AirPort Extreme but my iPhone and iPad 2 won't?

    How come my iMac and MacBook connect to my AirPort Extreme but my iPhone and iPad 2 don't?

    Sorry, I should have been more clear. I am asking if the DNS IP addresses, not the IP addresses assigned by the DHCP service, are the same. DNS is like the Internet's version of the Yellow Pages. Your ISP typically will provide them to you or you can elect to use those provided by another source, like OpenDNS.
    DNS is the service that translates a website's URL to its actual IP address so that you can access it. I am just trying to rule out that the PC is not configured properly with the correct DNS IP information.
    The other thing to check is if the PC is configured to use a Proxy service. By default, it would not be.
    Finally, what is the make & model of the PC. More importantly, if the PC is using either a PCI or USB wireless adapter, what is its make & model?

  • I purchased an album from the itunes store on my ipad2 thinking i could retrieve it from my windows pc. I have turned on home sharing and can see my pc library from the ipad but not vice-versa. Is there any way to transfer the album from my ipad library?

    I purchased an album from the itunes store on my Ipad2 thinking i could access it from my windows laptop where I sync my ipod. I turned on Home Sharing and can see my laptop libraries from my ipad but not vice versa. Is there any way to fix this so I can transfer the album to the itunes on my laptop?

    Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

  • HT3728 Why does time capsule every day or so stop backing up? Wifi still seems to work. Time capsule is only a few weeks old and is connected via Ethernet to the router and iMac.

    Why does time capsule go missing from the network. The green light is lit at all times. I am unable to use the software the only thing I can do is power cycle time capsule, by unplugging and plugging the mains back in.
    My time capsule is only a few weeks old, any ideas?
    I am new to apple products very impressed with iPhone 5, I pad, iMac. Really not sure about time capsule!
    Thanks

    An external drive is much more reliable.. the issue has to do with network connection and loss of something.. although I am sorry I cannot tell you exactly what. The computer is still connected, still works on internet but has actually lost the hard disk.. lost and cannot find it without a restart.
    If you want to try a few changes it can help.
    1. If you are connected by ethernet make sure wireless is off in the imac.. having only one network connection is better than two.
    2. Redo the TC setup with all short names.. no spaces.. pure alphanumeric. Apple has these long names with spaces and characters like apostrophe by default but they are not a help.
    3. If the TC is the main router then reduce the dhcp lease time.. make it 20min.. that keeps everything refreshed and up to date.
    None of those fix it but they may help stretch out the interval.

  • Help needed to sync apps across iMac and Macbook Air via ICloud

    I have a new Mac and I want to sync (if possible) my applications such as pic collage etc between my iMac & my Macbook Air.
    The main reason I want to do this is because I have set up templates in my macbook air apps and I want to use my iMac through the day and macbook air at night and be able to access these without doing screen share.
    I am also looking to pay someone $150 to set up a few things for me. I am in Coorparoo if anyone is interested please contact me here or at
    Thankyou

    Tracey almost any program you've purchased from the Apple App Store can be downloaded to multiple computers legally. Programs you've purchased elsewhere are typically licensed either to the user or to the computer and to be completely legal you'd need to determine which is the case for the programs you want to install on more than one computer. Most documents can be saved to iCloud (assuming you have enough space on iCloud) or other cloud services. Cloud services such as DropBox and Microsoft's OneDrive have applications that sync files automatically which allows you to share files between computers. However many (most?) applications don't automatically move templates into the cloud since they tend to be saved in the user's Library folder which often isn't synced. So templates must be dealt with on a case by case basis. (I'll often save a document that I want to use as a template and then make a fresh copy of it when I want to use it as my template)

  • I can see a calendar invite in my mail, but not in my cal. cant accept

    I have an iPhone 3gs and received three invites to my mobile me account which is connected to the phone. I see the icons in the email themselves that indicate that there is an invite. However, I cannot click on the icon to accept or view the event info. In calendar, I cannot see the invites at all. Am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks.

    The 'Summer 2012' episode won't play in the Store, and when you subscribe it appears to download but then reverts to 'Get', and checking in the actual Libary in the Finder confirms that it is not present. The older episode works OK.
    The file is at http://www.averyhillpublishing.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/AHP-Podcast-2.mp3 and if you enter this in Safari it plays perfectly well. It can also be downloaded from the link in a browser.
    So the server is apparently responding to requests from a browser, but not from iTunes or the iTunes Store: I can't suggest why this is - it's something you would have to take up with the people running your server.

  • I can see the latest episode of my podcast but not downloading

    Hi all,
    I've got a podcast feed that runs out of here http://averyhillpublishing.com/category/podcast/ . The first episode worked fine but now I've added a more recent one it's not working properly.  I can see it in the itunes site here http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/avery-hill-publishing/id485458654 and it plays fine.  I can also see it in itunes store but there it doesn't play.  And then I can download it into my itunes but it doesn't properly complete.  I tried removing the file from my post and putting it back in but that didn't help either.  Any ideas please?

  • How do I see other subscribers photos on a shared photo stream on iPad Air? I can see all people on Mac book pro, but not iPad Air.

    How do I see the other subscribers photos on a shared photo stream on iPad Air? I can see everyone on mac book pro, but not ipad. I can only see myself and the owner. Please help.
    thanks

    Hello there, missjanellez.
    The following link from the online iCloud Help menu provides some practical information in regards to shared stream functionality:
    Manage Subscribers to your shared streams.
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7bfa
    On an iOS 7 device
    In the Photos app, tap Shared at the bottom of the screen, then tap Streams at the top of the screen.
    Tap the shared stream whose subscribers you want to manage, then tap People.The Activity stream doesn’t have subscribers.
    Do any of the following:
    To invite more people, tap Invite People, enter email addresses or tap the Add button to select from your contacts, then tap Add.
    To remove a subscriber, tap the subscriber, then tap Remove Subscriber.
    To choose whether subscribers can add photos and videos, tap Subscribers Can Post.
    If the subscriber list doesn’t include Invite People, you don’t own the shared stream.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro

  • I can see my husbands calendar on my ipad but not on my iphone

    We have tried to set up the sharing of our iphone calendars between us (both Iphone 4) and my husband can see my calendar and updates I make but I can't see his calendar (although when you go into the calendar setting it says display his calendar too - but the entries are not showing), however on my ipad his entries do show?
    I was on the old ios6 when this didn't work and I have updated to ios7 on my phone but not his phone and not my ipad? 
    Any ideas what might be stopping it on my phone?

    have a look at this support article.

  • One Keychain library on both iMac and MacBook Pro via Dropbox or...?

    Hi guys
    I would like to have the same Keychain library on both my Macbook Pro and iMac?
    Can I get this done via Dropbox or how can I fix this?
    Thanks!
    Bob

    Why do you want to do this (I'm curious)?
    I found this article which explains how to copy keychains from one Mac to another.  Keep in mind that this does not sync the keychains; it's only a snapshot of your existing keychain at the time you copy it.   And ... you are on your own doing this, especially if your Macs have different releases of OS X.

  • My maps app has suddenly gone BLANK, no longer displays anything but a creamy brown background and a blue dot, I've see other issues on other devices also, but not a single response from apple explaining how to resolve it.  Anyone else?

    Before I left for Thailand, I didn't have a single problem with my maps app, however on return, I've found that it no longer displays anything in the main map screen, hybrid and sattelite still show something (but aren't accurate), but in maps itself, all there is is a blank screen. This not only affects maps, but all my other programs that are obviously linked somehow to apple maps are now doing the same thing... Nike Running, iSmoothRun, Argus, all now show my route, but it's overlaid over a BLANK map area.
    Anyone see this? and know how to fix it?

    I've done soft and hard resets, power off resets, I've deleted the three apps that are associated with maps and reinstalled them, the only thing I haven't done is a full restore, which from other peoples experiences I've see hasn't fixed the issue. So, I've avoided that because I don't want the 7.0.5 update (my 5S is a China coded model)

  • I've created a shared MobileMe calendar & can see the events my dad has added but not he can't see mine

    None of the events that I've added show up on his version of the shared calendar, whether they were created before I shared it with him or after. But the ones he's created show up in mine. We've refreshed both calendars multiple times!
    Seems to defeat the purpose of a shared calendar. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    This does not answer my question. I'm doing everything correctly but no email is generating that asks the "subscriber" to be invited to see my album.

  • IMac to Time Capsule via Ethernet and wireless to MacBook

    Hi, here was my previous situation:
    MacBook connected wirelessly to TC for Time Machine. TC was not linked directly to router, but for extending the network.
    Now I have a new iMac which I connected via Ethernet to the TC to use for Time Machine and external storage for iTunes. That works fine, however...
    The TC is no longer part of the wireless network, so my MacBook can not connect any longer.
    Is there anybody who can help with this? Tx very much in advance and best regards, Marc Dierens

    If someone comes across this post, any help would be apprciated. i have the same issue. The time capsule is attached by ethernet to cable modem. The time machine is also connected by ethernet cable to my G5. The time capsule shows up in airport utility. I also have internet and mail. The Time capsule network is also seen by my wifes macbook pro and she has internet.
    However, the time capsule does not show up in my sidebar or on my desktop and it does not show up as an option as the backup disk for time machine - in fact no disks show up.
    Help,
    Liam

  • Can't connect via ethernet after iBook wakes up from sleep

    I'm running 10.4.0 on a 1.33 GHz G4 iBook. Since buying the computer in 2005, I've been connecting to the internet in various locations via AirPort, though I have hooked my iBook up to ethernet connections in the past and had no problems.
    Recently I moved to a university where I must connect via ethernet, as the wireless network doesn't extend to the areas where I do most of my work. I bought a new cable. Much of the time, my connection is fine. But frequently I am unable to connect to the internet at all via ethernet, and I've noticed that it's always after I've woken the computer up from sleep. I've tried various ridiculous "kick the car and maybe it will start" techniques like unplugging the cable at both ends and waiting, restarting five or six times in a row, etc., and it starts connecting eventually, but I have NO idea why or why not. When I check my network preferences, I get the message "Built-in Ethernet is currently active and has the IP address [xxx.xxx.x.xxx]. You are connected to the Internet via Built-In Ethernet." But I'm not. What's going on here?

    Sorry, meant to indicate an IP address without giving the exact numbers, and it came up as an HTTP address. My network connections system preference panel indicates a normal IP address. (And it's not self-assigned.)
