Imac cannot transfer files to MBP

I have all of our 4 macs set up to be able to transfer and receive files from each other (or so I thought).
I am not able to transfer from one of the imacs to my mbp even though the mbp shows up in the device list on the imac.
Under sharing I have file sharing checked.
We are both running latest updates to Lion.
Any tips???
Thanks
Tom

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    When you try to copy data to the external drive, what happens? If you don't see any error, the external drive is formatted in NTFS, and OS X can't write in it.
    To be able to write on this external drive, you have to use an app like Paragon NTFS. Another solution would be to format the external drive in FAT32 or exFAT with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Make sure you copied all the files of the external disk to the internal disk before doing it

  • TS1702 With the latestes version of itunes I cannot transfer files to my apps.  There is no "File Sharing" section.

    With the latest version of itunes I cannot transfer files to my apps.  There is no "File Sharing" section.

    Yes there is.
    Connect the iPad to your computer. Launch iTunes and at the menu at the top of the screen, go to View>Show Sidebar. After you have the sidebar, click on your iPad name like you did in the past. Click on the Apps tab in the window on the right. Scroll down to File Sharing apps.

  • Cannot transfer files using Creative Media Sou

    I cannot Cannot transfer files using from my PC to my Creative Jukebox 0GB using Creative Media Source. Since I installed Windows Media Player 0, it seems that Windows Media Player 0 is the only program enabled to transfer files to my creative Jukebox. I would just go ahead and use Media Player, but Media Player won't let me change my library to one designated music file folder location. Media Player wants to find every copy of the same song on my system and is very difficult to use to transfer the files to my Jukebox device. Is there any fix to make Creative Media Source the preferred (or only) program used to transfer the files from PC to device?

    i am having a similar problem, although i have not downloaded windows media player 0. The creative mediasource software wont let me transfer songs onto my zen touch (20G). i only got the player a couple of days ago and it only has about 400 songs on it so far so there's no problem with the memory. I had problems before where it wouldnt let me upload anything that began with a letter after 's' in the alphabet! i solved this (no idea how) but the problem seems to have come back and now it wont let me up load anything. When i atempt to, it comes up with the prompt "unable to read file. file may be in use, missing or corrupted." (which they arent as far as i know) I also, for some reason, cannot play any songs through creative mediasource - even though i could a few hours ago!
    Please could someone help as this is very frustrating!!!!!!

  • Have new MacBook Air and old MacBook. Can send file from Air to MacBook by Bluetooth but cannot transfer file from MacBook to Air.

    Have new MacBook Air and old MacBook (2 1/2 years old). Can transfer files from Air to MacBook by Bluetooth but cannot transfer file from MacBook to Air. When I try, MacBook does not recognize Air. File transfer only goes in one direction. Any solution to this problem? Regards

    The Setup Assistant can restore your data from a Time Machine backup. You'll be asked if you want to do this the first time you turn the computer on.

  • VLAN : Cannot transfer files switch 3500XL

    Hello,
    i have configured VLAN's on my switch(802.1q ) with a linux machine as a router.and i cannot transfer files through SCP or FTP from nodes.It pings but is not able to transfer files.can u please expain ? the network cards on my linux machine are intel pro 100

    If you can ping through the linux router from one VLAN to another then this would suggest that routing is working correctly.
    I would check whether the Linux machine is using IP chains or similar which i believe is software that provides a firewall function and could potentially be blocking various ports.
    How many VLANs are you routing between, the reason i ask is that you mentioned 802.1q which is used for trunking VLANs over a single link. How does this fit in with Linux as i wouldn't have thought a Linux machine can differentiate between 802.1q and non 802.1q frames.

  • Cannot transfer file to other mobiles using blueto...

    Hi
    I used to be able to transfer files, images etc to other phones with bluetooth but recently I cannot.  I can see the other mobiles in my list of found devices and I can also sucessfully pair with said devices.  However as soon as I try to send them a image for example, the phones says "unable to connect".
    I have tried smaller pictures/other files.  I have also updated my phones firmware to the newest one and still no luck.  Anyone know if Im missing something here?
    P.s my phone is a N95

    Can u receive files from any other phone?
    Delete all Paired devices, pair them again (Or try with-out pairing) .

  • I cannot transfer files from XP to Windows Vista notebook

    Hi,
    I recently bought laptop with windows vista on it. My other computer has windows xp. I would like to transfer files from wndows xp to vista, when I do I am unable to open this. I also receive e mails that have excel (xls) files attached and I am unable to open them, Can anyone advise? Thanks for taking the time to read this.
    Message was edited by: angieos

    How do you exactly mean: transferring files? Would you like to copy them to the machine with Vista?
    And regarding the Excel (*.xls) files, you need Microsoft Excel which is in the Microsoft Office Package. That means if you have no Microsoft Office for Vista then you will need to purchase one to open and edit Excel files.

  • Cannot transfer files to my ipod

    I have an Ipod Touch 5 that has the latest firmware.  Itunes is up to date as well.  The problem started in September after updating my ipod.  Ever since then, I am unable to transfer files.  Auto sync and manual transfer does not work.  The only thing that has worked for me is to restore my ipod and resync everything.  However, who wants to have to go to all that trouble if you just want to transfer one song?  Under "on this ipod" everything is there except they're greyed out with grey dashed circles around the songs.  I have been researching this for nearly two months without a solution.  I'm able to transfer apps just fine, it's music, videos and photos that won't work.  Please help me!

  • Can I transfer files from MBP to an iMac over my wireless network?

    I am always having to transfer things from one computer to another and I am tired of using flash drives and DVD's and such to do it. Those ways are a lot of trouble. I have tried bluetooth but its to slow it seems. I know that I could probably do this over my home wireless network but I don't know how. Could someone help me out here? Is it pretty easy?
    TIA!

    As for the login issue .. do you have any spaces in your Admin log-in name? If so, try typing in your Admin name with no spaces (Ex: mine is Gary A Mullinax when viewed on my G5 tower; however, when I connect with my MBP, I have to use garyamullinax for the log-in name .... then the normal password).
    I can only suspect that there has been a setting overlooked on the MBP side that is keeping you from connecting from your iMac.
    Good luck.

  • Using iPod tp transfer files to MBP

    I put everything I want to transfer to my new MBP onto my video iPod. (music, videos and photos) I want to upload eveything on it to the MBP and then erase and re-format my iPod to Mac from Windows.
    How is this most easily accomplished?
    <-----------------very inept computer user.

    Well, first you have to enable your ipod for disk use, by checking the box manually manage songs....
    I think you already did that since you alredy tranferred your files to your ipod
    next you just have to connect your ipod to your mac , wait for it to recognize the ipod, and copy all of your files to your mac.
    As easy as that
    to re format your ipod i think you have to run the latest ipod updater on your mac with the ipod connected, i really dont know.
    But i did the same thing as you to tranfer my files and i did'n need to reformat my ipod, it works perfectly fine with my mac.
    hope this helped
