Install Tiger with file sharing?

I have an Emac with a cd drive. I realize I can install Tiger via target disk mode with another Mac with dvd capabilities. I can also see how this might be the preferred method.
Is it acceptable/advisable to install with file sharing?

Do you mean NetBoot, ARD, or something else?

  • Windows 8.1 ICS with file sharing between computers

    Can someone help me get ICS working with file sharing between two computers (directly connected), without enabling file sharing on the internet network (on a public untrusted network)?  Is this possible?  I have set up ICS between two Windows 8.1
    machines, but i can only get file sharing to work in one direction (from machine B to machine A)... UNLESS I turn on file sharing/discovery with the entire network from machine A (which i do not want to do).  I am not sure this exact question has been
    asked, so my apologies if it has.
    Here is my configuration.
    Machine A: win 8.1 (up to date), two NICs:  a wireless card (connected to internet) and a gigabit NIC (connected to machine B)
    Machine B: win 8.1 (up to date), one NIC, a gigabit card connected to machine A
    What i did:
    On Machine A:  I enabled ICS on machine A's wireless card, which automatically assigned the IP address 192.168.137.1 to the second NIC
    On Machine B:DHCP was enabled so it automatically got an ip address (192.168.137.62), internet sharing works fine (i can open a browser, get email, etc.)
    On Machine B: I enabled "Find devices and content" on the network device
    On Machine A: Going into "view network settings" it lists my wireless network and the gigabit NIC.  The wireless under 'Wi-Fi' says 'Connected', and i can click on this and I have the option to turn on "Find devices and content".
     On the wifi connection, i leave 'Find devices and content' turned OFF (so i don't discover computers on the wireless network, which is a public network).  My gigabit NIC shows up as "unidentified network"/"Limited".
     When i click on the gigabit NIC, it does NOT give me an option to turn on "Find devices and content", it just shows some properties of the NIC (manufacturer, description, driver, mac address) and button that says "Copy".  On
    the gigabit connection's properties (which is listed as "unidentified network/limited"), the option for 'Find devices and content' is missing.
    On Machine A: I open a file browser and type '\\192.168.137.62' and it works correctly, i can see the computer and move files around.
    On Machine B: It doesn't work.  I open a file browser and type in "\\192.168.137.1", and nothing happens.
    If i enable 'Find devices and content' on machine A's wifi connection, everything works, but now everyone on the public network can see my computer.
    Question:  How can i enable file sharing between machine A and machine B ONLY?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    The whole point of public networks is that they are unsafe, so file sharing is not permitted for your protection.
      If you have a network which you know is safe, the way to get file sharing working is to change your security policy so that it is set to private, not public. You do this from the local security policy (on the ICS computer).

  • Problem with File Sharing-Permissions throughout Folders

    I'm having an odd problem when setting up a Mac Pro with File Sharing. I have a second Hard Drive in it which is a Server Drive to be shared as a networked Hard Drive for both my MBP and my Fiancee's MBP. Here is the problem I have.
    I set up File Sharing and set up both her ID and my ID. Since this is done she is able to get to drive from my MBP and she is able to get to the drive from her MBP. I am able to read or write to those folders. She is able to view them but is unable to write to them.
    I went to the Server Drive icon on the Mac Pro's Desktop. When I right click and do "Get Info" and select Sharing I can tell her ID is not listed on any of the Folders. She is listed as Read and Write for the entire Hard Drive (which is an internal drive). I am also listed as Read and WRite and then it lists Everyone and says No Access. The same is listed in System Preferences in File Sharing. I have heard this Everyone 'No Access' can cause problems but I prefer not to give access to everyone. The only other option is Read Only and Read and Write. Also, when I have Everyone selected the - sign is greyed out so I'm unable to remove Everyone.
    To continue, what is strange is I thought with it saying on the Server Drive itself for my Fiancee, read & write, that it would say this on every Folder inside. Yet when I select any Folder inside on the Server Drive and select Get Info it says for me "Read & Write" and for Staff "Read Only" and for Everyone "Read only" I'm not even sure where Staff comes fro and of course Everyone is Read Only and my Fiancee not even listed. It just seems that these file sharing permissions are not replicated througout all the Folders when I select it for the Hard Drive itself. What could be causing this and how can I get the same to go throughout the Folders? I know manually I could change them all but this would take a long time and likely still be a problem when any additional Folders are added.

    1. I have turned logged into it from my MBP while at Home and if I'm logged in as Guest I only see the Server Drive which is good. My concern is that if I log in with my login I then sell all Folders including the Main 'Macintosh HD' At least as a guest I can only see the Server Drive but is it any way I can stop it from showing all the other folders on the computer since I have no reason to do that?
    When you login to a mac as an administrator it is normal to see all the contents of the volumes connected to that mac.
    2. Also, I would like to disable all access for Guest. Yet I have it list Everyone or Guest in the file sharing and I have no way of deleting this. I don't want a Guest to be able to connect to this computer or share any files at all on it. Is there any way to disable this?
    Goto system preferernces-->accounts
    click on the lock to and enter your password to unlock the preference pane.
    Then select the guest account. Then uncheck the 2 check boxes. The account should now have 'disabled' underneath it.
    3. Security: How secure is this? I am using it on a Home Wi-Fi network with an Airport Base Station 1GB. I have the Leopard filewall set to "Set Access for Specific Services" since it won't work with "Allow only essential services" I hope my home network is more security but with Back to my Mac how hard would it be for someone to be able to find this computer on the network? I don't do any filesharing on my MBP but do have it set up for File Sharing but only with my login ID.
    If you have your base station set to distribute ip addresses then it is acting as a NAT router and will firewall you.
    I have not setup back to my mac yet so can't comment on its security. Although I would suggest a strong password.
    have a read of Mac OS X 10.5: About Back to My Mac security
    My method of remote access is to use SSH and run screen sharing over an SSH tunnel.

  • Problems with File Sharing.... prev query unanswered

    Hello everyone,
    I posted this query last month and have yet to solve the problem. I was hoping for some fresh ideas.
    I am running a network on an OS X Server between three labs (around 50 computers connected). One lab has 3 IBMs running with Windows XP that are connected directly to a switch (via cable) and 1 IMac that runs from an airport device (Base).
    The second lab has 3 computers running from the switch, and 3 Macs running from an additional airport baystation (located in that lab).
    The problem I am having deals with file sharing. We have several folders which all users have access to ("public" folders) as well as "user" folders which allow access to the individual users, faculty members, and the admin account.
    All permissions under "server preferences" seem to be defined appropriately.
    Eg) selected "only those registered users" with specified user access indicated.
    Initially after setup, all folder access within the two primary labs appears correct on all computers. However, within a few days, all Macs that run from the Baystation in the second lab no longer show correct folder access.
    No problems occur with the IMac in the first lab.
    Typically only one student folder will appear, and it will not be the correct one. No public folders show up (or rarely do). I had thought it may be a problem with users logging out, so I changed settings to induce an automatic logout after 30min of inactivity. This worked at first, but the problem again started after a few days.
    I have tried many things and this problem still seems to occur within a few days of having fixed it. I am wondering if it may be an issue with the Baystation, though I am not sure how to address this. Any ideas would be much appreciated!!
    Thanks.

    Hi There,
    We have just upgraded all design computers to imac and  upgraded our software to CS5 and we are still having the same problem.
    I  called Adobe at the beginning of the week and they told me to speak to  our IT department as it could be an issue with the preferances on out  network.
    Last time I spoke with IT they told me it was an Adobe issue. I  am still very concerned about it but I have a tiny bit of relief that  someone else is having the same trouble (although very annoying).
    Any ideas on how to fix it? Are you running a windows server?
    Please let me know if you find out any relevant info on this and I will do the same.
    Thanks

  • Any issues with file sharing between Windows and latest Mac client?

    We're running Lync 2013. My Windows client is 15.0.4551.1005. Mac client is version 14.0.8.
    I open a conversation with a coworker on his Mac. I then try to share a png file. He clicks accept but then my client says the attempt timed out, and his client says that I canceled the file transfer. The coworker then boots the Mac into Windows and we try
    again, and the file share works fine. When I jump on my Mac, I can send files to his Mac without issue. When he tries to send from his Mac to my PC it fails, but when he tries to send from Windows on his Mac to my PC, it works.
    I can't find anything specific in the logs that would indicate a firewall issue. Is there a bug with file sharing between the Mac and PC clients?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    No, There isn't a bug with file sharing between Mac and Pc client.

  • Issues with file sharing after changing password

    Last night I changed my system password on my MacBook Pro and for some reason it caused some issues with my file sharing with my windows PC.
    I was able to finally get the notebook to connect again to the XP PC shared documents by going through finder to go to network and then connected. But the PC would not see the notebook. Everything was communicating fine when I first got the system two weeks ago.
    Tech support did what they could tonight and I finally just decided to set up a connection to my notebook by entering the notebooks ip address on the pc.
    It's alte and sorry for the rambling, but does anyone know why the pc (as well as others in the house) no longer see the notebook?

  • Frustrated with file sharing to windows

    Prior to Leopard, file sharing was SO easy it was one of the greatest features of owning a Mac at my Windows centric office. Now after installing Leopard, MONTHS of reading online forums and the discussions here has gotten me nowhere. The only success I've has has been with FTP.
    Can someone PLEASE help me or direct me to the proper tutorial of how to share files on my MacBook Pro with Windows machines? [I don't believe I just begged for help with my Mac!]
    What I have accomplished so far is enable sharing in the Sharing Pref Pane and I turned on SMB as everyone has suggested. My Windows machine can see my user folder and all the folders within it but I can not open any of those folders. If I change the access for Everyone to Read & Write then I can do what I'm trying to achieve. Obviously I don't want everyone on my network to have access.
    It would seem to me that I'm looking for a simple dialog window on the Windows machine to enter my user name and password but I don't see that. I can not find anyway to "LOG" in to the MacBook Pro.
    Why is it that I'm reading all this praise for Leopards new and improved file sharing features yet it seems like they've broken what had worked in the past?
    Now that I think about it, I think I was running SharePoint before so that was probably why I never had any issues before. That program unfortunately no longer works in Leopard.

    I'm a little confused now. I did as you suggested bulldog and created an account in the Sharing Pane with the same user name and password that I use on my Windows machine and gave it Read & Write Access.
    When I went to my Windows computer and attempted to navigate from Network Places to Workgroup, Workgroup was not there. I tried to reset my network connection and refresh the window but could never get Workgroup to come up.
    I then tried one of my previously mapped shares ("user" on Anthony's MBP) and got an error.
    I figured maybe that mapped share's IP got screwed up or something so I went to RUN and typed in my IP address of the Mac. 192.168.1.2/homefolder This actually prompted me for a user name and password! I entered the UN/PW that I had just created, the same one that I use to log in to my Windows machine, and got nothing. It tried to put PCNAME/ before my user name.
    Then I tried my UN/PW that I use on my Mac and that FINALLY worked. The confusing part is I KNOW that I've tried this many times before - it's always the FIRST thing that I try. I liked your idea Bulldog and thought that for sure it should work and I like how it limited access to certain folders for that user name.
    To add further to the confusion, I thought I'd give everything a second chance before I submit this post. I disconnected from the shared folder on my Windows computer to try and start over. It seems that now Workgroup is showing up. When I double click on that I see my Mac. When I double click on that I get a prompt for a user name and password. I tried both my Mac and Windows usernames and now NEITHER are working.
    I turn off File sharing to try to reset it on the Mac side and turn it back on. Workgroup is still present in Windows but when I double click it, it now stalled for 30 seconds and gives me a network path not found error. I repair my network connection in Windows, Workgroup goes away.
    I try RUN IP address again and it says that 192.168.1.2/homefolder is not available. I double check and verify that File Sharing is turned on and Read & Write is on for both Mac and Windows user names.
    I restart the Windows computer (incidentally a Macbook)
    No change
    I, again, turn OFF File Sharing - Turn it back on. Now I realize that when you restart file sharing you have to go back to Options and turn on SMB! Doh!
    Still no Workgroup but when I enter the IP address I get a prompt. I want to see if Workgroup shows up first though.
    I can't get Workgroup to show no matter what I do. I go back to enter my Mac's IP address/homefolder and try the Windows UN/PW and that still does not work. Only entering my Mac's UN/PW works at this point.
    For the moment, this will do for me. But it's still not correct from what I can tell. NOR IS IT EASY! Especially considering that what I have found to successfully work today is EXACTLY what I have ALWAYS used to access my Mac computers from a Windows computer.
    NOW that I'm connected (?), Workgroup shows up! I double clicked on it and it again prompted me for a username and password. I entered the same one that I used in the last step (Mac UN) and it successfully revealed all the mounted volumes on the Mac.
    This is still not solved because I can only get one username to connect remotely to my Mac. Thanks for the help though!

  • Upgrade to Tiger with DVD sharing?

    Hi,
    My upgraded Digital Audio G4 (now 1GHz + 1Gig ram) is running Panther and has no DVD drive for the Tiger Install disks. I'd like to upgrade to Tiger. Is it possible to use DVD sharing on my new Snow Leopard iMac to do this? If not can I use an external DVD drive with USB or Firewire connection?
    Thanks,
    Frank

    I don't know what DVD sharing is but Target Disk Mode should work. Use the new Mac as the DVD drive. Note, you will need to use black retail installer discs for this, not the gray computer-specific discs that came with another model computer.

  • Problem with File Sharing  -- Intel IMac Powerbook G4

    When I try to connect to my Intel IMac from my G4 laptop, I am able to make an initial connection for file sharing, but when I try to browse the mounted volume, the files don't show up and after about 30 seconds the connection breaks, I get a 'Server Connection Interrupted' message, and the file sharing on the IMac turns off automatically.
    Both OSs are up to date. Connection to G4 from IMac works correctly.
    Is this happening for anyone else? Any ideas on how I might fix this?
    Thanks

    I too have the same problem, a Powerbook that won't let anything connect to it via Personal File Sharing. And I haven't found any explanation in these forums or otherwise. I'm pulling my hair out here...
    Simple ethernet network with a Mini & PB G4, OS 10.4.7.
    I can sometimes connect to the PB from the Mini via Personal File Sharing. But I always get the "server connection interrupted" dialog, as soon as I try to access the mounted drives. Then the Mini's finder hangs up, and I have to force quit, sometimes taking the entire system down with it.
    I've tried connecting to the PB with other machines, and I get the same "server connection interrupted" problem. On the PB, I've rebuilt permissions, deleted /library/preferences/SystemConfiguration..., turned on & off all combinations of services and Directory Access, run fsck, created a fresh account, pretty much everything besides re-installing my system. Nothing fixes the problem.

  • Myriad of issues since trying to install Tiger with a defective disc.

    Some time ago I tried to install Tiger and got the messge the disc was damaged. I went back to Apple and they tried to install their copy and in the process my iPhoto got all fouled up. They recovered the library (somewhat) and we decided not to install Tiger until I backed up my machine. Some time later I brought my external drive in and we backed up the user and then tried to rebuild the iPhoto library. By the time I had to leave, my iPhoto was still showing white thumbnails on 30% of my library. I tried to rebuild it yesterday and like the previous time, iPhoto quite unexpectedly. See my posted question at iPhoto4 - Tried rebuilding iPhoto library twice, both time iPhoto "unexpectedly quit"
    Just got back from the Apple store and their solution to the iPhoto issue agreed with Brie Fly's post of:
    Move the two recent rebuild attempts from Pictures to the trash. Temporarily move your original iPhoto Library folder to the desktop. Start iPhoto and choose "Create New..." from the dialog. Quit iPhoto.
    Drag the iPhoto Library folder from the desktop, and drop it inside the newly created iPhoto Library folder in Pictures (put it inside; don't replace).
    Now start iPhoto again while holding the shift+option keys to try another rebuild.
    The Genius folks at the Apple store suggested that I also Archive and Install to see if I have a corrupt user file. I decided to back up my user first and this is where I got....
    Dragged user to desktop icon of external drive, while it was "preparing to copy" it stopped with the message:
    "One or more items have special permissions and cannot be copied. Do you want to skip them?" I'd expect one of the choices to be "Yes" but curiously the two choices were "Stop" and "Replace". (symantics!) I chose "Replace" and almost immediately I got the message:
    "The operation cannot be completed because the item "Installer" is locked." I then click the only button offered, "Ok was the only choice to click upon doing so the operation is ceased.
    I didn't know the Installer could be locked, how it became that way nor how to unlock it!

    Wow, has this stumped the experts?

  • Time Capsule - problems with file sharing

    Time Capsule is working great with Time Machine, but I can't copy files to it even after enabling file sharing in AirPort Utility. I'd really like to move my iTunes library to it since the external drive it currently lives on is full and the TC has about 1.96TB still free. Any thoughts on what the problem is? I see it under "shared" in Finder, but all I can see is the "data" folder and I get warnings that the drive is read only. Thanks for any help you all might be able to provide!

    Not Bob .. but it is fairly simple.
    When we say external drive we mean a drive plugged physically directly into the Mac.
    It can then be backed up by TM.
    Just open the TM preference and click on the options.. it should automagically include all disks connected to local machine. You can exclude a drive though. Make sure nothing is excluded .. if it is uncheck it.
    TM cannot backup a Network drive but can use a drive as long as it is correctly formatted and accessible to Mac OS as a target for the backup.
    I would also recommend you do a straight backup of your disk. 500GB drive is cheap. Get a USB holder and do that direct file copy or use a software like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. The later can make a direct copy of the disk in the freeware version. IMHO it is a lot easier to recover.. the increments if you already have the bulk.

  • Help!  Trying to access a share disk with file sharing- problems

    I have limited knowledge of file sharing, keychain access, and Macs in general.
    My school uses the Mac OS 9's for our schoolwide "Accerated Reader" program (a common program for schools accross the US).
    I am unable to get the 4th grade class room's Mac computer to access the share disk "AR Folder," which means that the Accerated Reader program won't work in this particular classroom.
    I go to "Keychain Access." The infor I get for "kind" is "Apple Share password." I go to "Unlock Keychain: AR Computer," and I type in the correct password. I click "unlock". The next window shows "Keychain: "AR COMPUTER" on disk "MACINTOSH HD" 2 items. My choices are "AR Main Lab" and "AR Main Server." When I click on both (one at a time), and on the next window, when I click "go there" the following error message appears:
    :An error has occurred. Unable to go to this item's location. An operating system (-5016) occurred."
    What can I do from here on? WHat could be wrong? Help me troubleshoot!
    Thanks!

    Hello sylves,
    First..many people may be hesitant to help answer your posts as it deals with a school and security issues and passwords. It is not too good to mispell "accelerated". This could indicate someone trying to get into an area they don't have permission to access.
    I offer sevreal ideas.
    1. Perhaps you could explain your position in school.
    2. - Ask the tech people at school for assistance. I know this can be had at times. I work in a school with all PC's and only a few Macs so they are not quite up to fixing our mac problems.
    3. - post more info as to if these computers are able to use internet or are they just going to the school server etc.
    I post this as ideas how to get more help and not disrespectfully.....Jim

  • Two PC's Connected to WRT54G -Need Help With File Sharing Folder

    Hi,
    I have both PC's connected to the WRT54G with internet access on.  How do I create file sharing and or a folder named "shared" on each desktop that allows each PC to drop files in this folder so that each PC can open and access those files?

  • Help with file sharing

    I am unable to find the "apps" selection under device in itunes (windows) now and thus no longer have access to file sharing . I do have an app on my ipod touch 5 that requires file sharing to copy files from/to. That app is "my disk". I presume that this app is no longer recognized by IOS as a file sharing app. Can you shed any light on this. The App works fine otherwise. can anyone shed light on this?

    Even if you have printer and file sharing enabled, you still might not be able to perform those operations if your firewall is blocking those requests.
    I ran into this exact issue the other day while setting up a wireless for someone. 
    They have Norton Security.  I went in to the firewall and indeed found that file sharing and printer sharing was blocked.  I unblocked it, and everything worked fine.
    Much to my dismay, the Norton Firewall seemed to keep on changing its mind every time I rebooted.  I eventually turned off Norton and turned on the Windows firewall AND ENABLED file and print sharing (it's not enabled by default).
    The person that I have set this up for is happy with that configuration, but I really want to figure out what the deal is with Norton.
    So, bottom line, check your firewall.

  • Searching with File Sharing

    We use File Sharing almost every day among several Macs.
    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, the search function in Finder is completely different and totally wrong. I used to be able to easily search another Mac's files. Now, if i'm lucky, Finder will only show results with the search term in the file name. Until now, I'd get results with the search term in any part of the document, which is exactly what I needed it to do. I can't find any settings to change in Finder preferences. Please, can someone tell me how to do this? Thanks.
    To be clear, this is when using File Sharing, and when searching another iMac's files.
