IMac can't share via Samba but works with AFP

I have a home network with (almost) all Macs. Every computer shows up in the shared folder, but for some reason my iMac can't be connected to via Samba (error -36). It can be connected to via AFP.
The iMac CAN connect to other computers via samba though.
The reason I need samba to work is because I have a network streamer connected to my TV and it does not use AFP. I have successfully connected a ibook G4 to the streamer so basically once the iMac works on the network I think my problems are solved.

This is solved. I believe when I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard my netbios name was reset and allowed the Samba share to be accessed.

Can't connect via Finder but works with everything else

The Time Capsule is working fine with Time Machine and Airport. However when I try to connect via Finder, it just says 'Connecting...' and never changes. When I hit 'Connect As...', nothing happens. I have rebooted the TC and deleted all passwords from the keychain but that didnt help. Latest OSX updates and firmware update installed.

I powered down and was relieved to hear the fan jolt and the drive spin so that looks good.
Wireless is currently the only method I've been using to connect to the TC with my macbook because as of right now I dont have a USB->ethernet adapter but I will pick one up later today to see if that changes anything. The cable modem is connected via ethernet though and that seems to be working fine.
The LED is solid green when the modem is plugged in and flashing orange when it is not.
Here is the log after a power cycle, at first I did not have the cable modem plugged in and attempted to access via Finder with no luck. Then shortly after, I plugged in the cable modem and tried Finder again. Its interesting that attempting to access the drive via Finder does not create any activity in the log.
I will try to cool down overnight and hope I can get at the data. At this point, my main goal is to retrieve the files. And then get a new local backup solution asap. I am currently doing a full online backup to Crashplan but with 500GBs, its going to be weeks before it finishes uploading.

MBA won't connect to iPhone or Jambox via Bluetooth, but works with bluetooth Apple Mouse

MBA won't connect to iPhone or Jambox via Bluetooth, but works fine with bluetooth Apple Mouse. When trying to pair with the iPhone it says "The Bluetooth Network is unavailable. There was an error connecting to your device. Make sure the device is turned on and in range." When trying to connect to the Jambox it says "Bluetooth audio failed. There was an error connecting to your headset. Make sure it is turned on and in range. The audio portion of the program you were using may have to be restarted." The iPhone and Jambox pair together fine, and I have paired with both the iPhone and the Jambox easily in the past. I haven't updated anything - it just stopped working with these two devices. This is very frustrating.

I could not pair with Uconnect on a 2011 Jeep after upgrading to iOS 8.2 on an iPhone 6. After shutting off iCloud and resetting network settings I was able to successfully pair the phone to Uconnect

Links will not work in websites accessed via FireFox, but work with Chrome and IE.

This happens randomly. If I open a webpage for something like a news site and they offer a slideshow of information, the carat/ arrow (like this >) wont take me to the next slide. Here is an example of the type page: http://news.discovery.com/human/life/the-sorriest-people-of-2014-141230.htm?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dnewsnewsletter
I have looked through settings and reloaded firefox several times. I have tried updating all my apps, though that page has its own issues I dont have time for here. Nothing seems to work.
Usually, the page just sits there, static. The next page arrow is active, it highlights when I mouse over it, but it wont activate when selected.
This has been a problem for quite a while, at least over the last two upgrades.

I cannot share photos via my hotmail account but works with Gmail

Can anyone help?
I have been using my hotmail account to send/share photos on iPhoto. Recently I cannot share photos via my hotmail account but works with Gmail?
What do I need to do to get the hotmail account working again?

In iphoto I select the photos to send, click on share and email. I setup the email in iphoto and iphoto sorted out all the pop3 & SMTP settings all i had to do was put my email & password in. Since its gone wrong I have got an ipad but no changes to my email settings.
I have been looking at the 'mail' which is also setup for hotmail and I can't send emails from there either so i don't think there is a problem with iphoto.

IMac can see my Macbook Air but not my Macbook

Recently upgraded iMac and Macbook to 10.5.8, Macbook Air running 10.5.7
Both laptops connected to iMac via Netgear wireless router.
All was fine until yesterday.
Now my iMac can't see the Macbook but can see the Macbook Air when I go to Finder/Network on the iMac.
Curiously, the Macbook and the Macbook Air can both see the iMac when I go to Finder/Network on the two laptops.
Have unplugged the wireless router from the mains for five mins to reboot it.
Can confirm that Security/Firewall on the Macbook is set to "Allow All Incoming Connections"
Anyone any suggestions???

On your imac can you share documents between accounts?

on your imac can you share documents between accounts? If I work on a Pages document can another account see that document and ber able to work on it?

If you want to copy the file between users you can use the Public folder in your home directories. If you put something in the Public folder other users can see it and copy it out if they want to send something to you they can copy it into your Public/Drop Box folder.
If you both want to be able to work on the same document you could use the /Users/Shared folder which is read/write for all users.

This isn't achely a question it's about iPod not iPhone but can Apple. Make all apps work with iOS 7 even when it's really old

This isn't achely a question it's about iPod not iPhone but can Apple. Make all apps work with iOS 7 even when it's really old

And it's totally impractical for any OS to provide complete backwards compatibility in perpetuity. So no, Apple cannot grant your request. As WJ said, it's the developers' reponsibility to provide updates to their applications to be compatible with newer operating system releases, whatever the platform might be.

I am new on the iPod 5th Gen, I have managed setting up ok, I can send emails via Mail but cannot seem to receive them ? help what am I doing wrong

Try this...
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Choose the affected email account, then tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.

Iphoto can't share via email; error message: Your email did not go through because the server did not reply.

I can never share via email, using iPhoto. The error: Your email did not go through because the server did not reply. always pops up. I have no problems with my server or internet connection.
Any ideas?
thanks.

Go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the email account there. Then add it back. If that fails you can select Mail as your email client in iPhoto as that's more reliable and flexible. It also offers stationary for photos that are not unlike those in iPhoto's client:
and using Mail as the client will allow you to have a Sent copy automatically.

Can I share my books on iPad with someone in family that has a different computer and email address

Can I share my books on iPad with someone in family that has a different computer and email address

If you got them from iBooks, then no. As far as I know, iBooks are linked to the Apple ID that downloaded them. If you got them via Kindle or the such, the apps may have a sharing function.
If it's another app, then whatever the rules of that app says is what works.
If you're looking for e-books on a budget, check out your local library. Many have e-books you can check out for a period of time, and they either work with an app or are PDF files with some sort of time limit encoding in them

How can I share my mac book pro with my mac pro.

Hi,
Anyone know how can I share my mac book pro with my mac pro. At the moment I am in NewZealand and my Mac Pro is in UK. I used to share my both computer in UK in same network but I don't know how can I share with different network. Please help me.

You can't, currently only the iPhone has the personal hotspot function, it hasn't been enabled on the iPad - whether it will be possible in the future I don't know

So Can My Mac Be Made To Work With iChatAV ? Version three

So Can My Mac Be Made To Work With iChatAV ?
This question is asked by many who find their computer is below the G3/600Mghz Specs limit set for iChat
See here in the second table top left box the listing of the G3/600
Please note there are different Specs for Audio and Video chat.
This linked Apple Doc has been re-written several times since it originally cam out that it does not quite carry the same help as it once did
It is presumed that you are going to want to take as much advantage of iChat as you can. So I will talk about Video chatting.
For Jaguar (10.2.5 - 10.2.8)
Prior to the beginning of Oct 2004 there was a Jaguar version of iChat AV on sale at the Apple Store as a download. If you are at 10.2.5 - 10.2.8 and downloaded the $29.95 Version 2.0 of iChat for Jaguar, in preperation of using iChat, before this date, you may find some of this information useful.
The WWDC Anouncement
If you did not buy it, your only option is to upgrade to Panther.
For Panther (10.3.x) and Jaguar (10.2.5 -10.2.8)
IF you fall below the G3/600 mark then you will need this utility, iChatUSBCam from Ecamm.com This will enable the external iSight to work at lower spec machines. The current reported lower limit is around the G3/350Mhz mark.
It is also will enable USB cameras for use with iChatAV, but there is little in the way of substantive information about Sub G3/600 computers achieving this.
There have been about a dozen posts to say that it will use a USB cam on a G3 as low as 400Mgz
It should be noted that computers of this age tend to lack Multi-Tasking and will find that iChat will take up most of their processor time.

This is a link to the drivers already installed in the Mac OS. The download is not required. *See note below
Apple used to list the DV camcorders that work with the drivers already in the Mac OS but now Apple no longer does so (Link removed from this section). *See note below.
Essentially any Firewire camera will work with the OS. Some MiniDV formats can not be seen by iChat though.
Many USB Webcams will work if you are at 10.4.8 or earlier or only UBS 1.1 ports. This will need the Mac Drivers and the IChatUSBCam utility.
*Note: Both these last two lists were updated Jan 2004 or before. The purpose of pointing this out to highlight the fact that new cameras have come on the market since. They may work with these drivers or have their own Mac Firewire drivers on their accompanying install CDs.
The Current list for Firewire Webcams is now here as linked above.
For Tiger (10.4) and up.
Much of what has been said before applies to you as well. Most firewire web cams will work DV Camcorder will work. USB cameras can work with the correct Mac Driver and the iChatUSBCam utility.
However....
10.4.9 now adds a driver for USB Video Class (UCV) web cams that will work with the OS and iChat. Not all USB video cams are of this type and iChatUSBCam is still needed.
Mulit-Video Chatting
This was added to iChat at iChat 3 in Tiger (10.4.x)
As can be seen from the Specs linked earlier you need a Mac over a certain Spec (G4/1Ghz Dual) to be able to Host Video chats. (plus Internet Speed).
Ecamm come to people rescue again with PowerBoost if your Mac does not reach those specs.
Leopard 10.5
In Leopard the criteria is also for a mac of a certain spec before you even start, This is a G4/867Mghz processor. If you have problems then see this Apple Doc There is also some evidence that this helps other macs with the same message even if not this spec machine.
