IMac cannot log in to Macbook that is on the same network

iMac and Macbook both on the same network (WiFi via a Virgin Netgear router).
iMac sees the Macbook in the Network in Finder but when I try CONNECT AS, I get "connection failed". This never used to happen and has only just occurred.
I've rebooted and run repair disc permissions on both machines.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks!

Rebooted the network, repaired disc permissions, renamed Macbook.
Problem went away.

HT5706 I just purchased an AppleTV and am trying to connect AirPlay with my mac (2012 model) In 'system preferences displays' an airplay menu is listed but it says 'no device detected'. My AppleTV and macbook are connected to the same network. Any help?

Troubleshoot the network as that is likely what is causing the issue.
Also, temporarily disable the firewall on the Mac and disable IPV6 on the computer.

Can Management Studio connect to a server that is on the same network but not on the same domain?

Should management studio be able to connect to an instance of an sql server that is on the same network but not on the same domain? I am trying to have it do so but am unsuccessful, so to continue to troubleshoot what the issue might be I need to know
whether I am embarking on an exercise in futility.

Hello,
That's your issue!
Since you're attempting to use Windows Authentication you'll need to start the SSMS process under the domain credentials of the domain account that has access to that SQL Server. Otherwise windows is going to send you local user token which is going to quickly
be rejected as your local computer user account is not the correct domain account.
You can do this by either using shift+right-click run as different user or from the command line using RunAs /user.
In either case, if you want to use Windows Authentication you'll need to run the SSMS process as that domain user so that you can pass a valid security token.
Edit:
I read that backwards... If it's not on any domain (or member of a workgroup) you'll have a really hard time in using windows authentication as you're limited to LOCAL users on that machine. Thus you could really only use windows auth if you were logged
in locally on that server. I'd either setup a SQL Login for this or join it to a domain.

Linux users cannot open Firefox on multiple systems that are mounting the same network drive as their home directory

I am supporting a user who is logging into multiple linux systems that all have the same /home directory mounted to a network filer.
When the user opens firefox on one system, he is unable to open firefox on other systems.
I'm assuming this is because firefox is storing his profile in /home.
These are Centos 5.4 x64 systems, authenticatiing to a Windows 2003 Domain. The filer that hosts the home directories is a NetApp with both CIFS and NFS permissions enabled on the volume that /home resides. We are using the version that came with the Centos installation, 3.0.12

So while this worked well for my computer at home, it does not work for the actual computer the disk is mounted on. If I try to mount the disk as the "office" user, the computer rejects the connection to itself and tells me to access it locally. Any ideas on how to handle this? Thanks again.

I rented a movie from iTunes on my apple tv, can I watch this rental on another apple tv that's on the same network and under the same account?

I would like to rent a movie from iTunes on one of my apple tv's and would like to know if I can watch that movie rental on another apple tv on the same network. I used to rent movies on my Mac and was able to watch on different apple tv through home-sharing.

Hey hskcheng,
Movies rented on an Apple TV can not be transferred to a different device. See this article for reference -
iTunes 12 for Mac: Rent movies from the iTunes Store
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Happy computing,

How do I make a wired connection to my Airport Extreme that will share the same network as any wireless connection to it?

Here's the set up.
I have a cable router into the house and then an Airport Extreme connected to it. Everything connects wirelessly to the Airport Extreme apart from one computer in the same room as it, which I wired into the AE with a cable (it's a gaming PC and has no wireless).
How can I get that wired machine to use the same network as all the other wireless devices? When I plug the cable into it, the gaming PC only picks up the network being created by the cable box which I don't use.

There is nothing stopping you connecting to the wireless computers if you have sharing turned on..
How can I get that wired machine to use the same network as all the other wireless devices? When I plug the cable into it, the gaming PC only picks up the network being created by the cable box which I don't use.
I don't quite follow this..
If the cable modem is a router.. the AE must be in bridge mode..
So all routing is handled by the cable modem router.. and the wireless clients will all be in the same IP range as the PC is.. please check that by opening the PC command window and type ipconfig /all
Then go to one of the wireless devices and check that it also has the same IP range.. eg,, 192.168.x.x and same router or gateway address eg 192.168.1.1 and same DNS.. which is the same as the router address..
Then in the command window of the PC use the command ping to see if the other devices respond.. ping it by name or by IPaddress.
If there is no response.. windows has decided it is in a public network.. and slammed up the firewalls.. make sure your network is set as home for location.. and make sure the firewalls .. you can have multiple if you have an internet security package are not blocking local network access.
Also remember PC and Mac in a network can take a bit of fiddling to see each other. But ping should always respond and in both directions.

How can i find a library that is on the same network as me so I can share?

There are multiple people on the network that share iTunes libraries, but the certain one I'm looking for is not showing up. Is there anyway for me to search for this specific library? I am using the most recent version of iTunes.

There is no way to search for a shared library. If the computer on which the library is being shared is on the same subnet as your computer, it should appear automatically. If it's not appearing, perhaps the library isn't really being shared or the computer is on a different subnet in which case you cannot connect to it; iTunes Sharing does not work across subnets.

Cannot access APEX pages from other IP in the same network

Hi,
I installed APEX 3.0 on Oracle XE (Windows OS). The PC I installed has a static IP (no DHCP and DHCP servie is stopped).
I started the HTTP server and I am able to access the XE database home page and the APEX developer page and admin page. This PC has a static IP too.
When I tried to access the APEX page from another PC. It is not loading the page.
When tried using Internet Explorer it says "Internet Explorer Cannot display the page"
Please let me know whether I missed any configurations to the access the page from another IP.
Thanks.
Niko

Hi,
Most likly the cause is windows firewall. Try the following:
1 - from Control panel select windows firewall
2 - click on the exception tab
3 - Click Add port
4 - for name enter yhe name you want (APEX)
5 - For port number enter APEX prot number
Hope that will solve your problem

Cannot not Mirror with Ipad or Macbook on the same network

I've installed a profile on my apple tv using apple configurator to join my school network with success. My ipad and macbook pro are on the same network all using the same username and password. The airplay icon shows up when they are on the network. I can select it and after about 10-15 seconds it switches back to the ipad and never displays on the apple tv. I was told but an apple rep that it may be a bandwidth issue but that has now been eliminated as a potential problem. Any help would be great. If I use ethernet with both the apple tv and macbook pro I can display using airplay but this does not help with the Ipad or the goal of using wireless.

Please post a link to the site.

Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it?

Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it? I thought that if I bought it the apps on my macbook, they would be avaliable on my imac like the mobile devices operate. The macbook has 10.6.8 cause its a older model and I think lion would slow it down. Any help??

Just redownload it on the other computer by logging into the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase it.

"Access denied. You cannot log on to an older version of the CMS"

Post Author: dnaman
CA Forum: General
Hi All,
I recently installed Crystal Reports XI (11.0.0.1282) on my desktop and am trying to save a report to Crystal Enterprise 10. When i try to save it, i get the error above - "Access denied. You cannot log on to an older version of the CMS".
Is it possible to connect to CE 10 with CR XI or do i need to get CR 10 as well? I would have hoped there would be backward compatibility.
Thanks in advance,
dnaman

Hi,
CR 2008 is not compatible with BOE XI R2. The Crystal Reports 2008 report designer is unable to log into XI Release 2 or older servers.
The functionality that depends on an enterprise session is unavailable. If you are using one of these report servers(CRS XI/XIR2 or BOE XI/XIR2), we recommend you use the Crystal Reports XI or XI Release 2 report design tool.
The corresponding server for Crystal 2008 is BO XI R3 which will support all the new functionalities present in Crystal 2008.
I hope this helps you.
Regards,
Prashant.
