IWeb and old homepage file sharing

Hello Everyone,
I'm having better luck with iWeb and progress is being made. My question is:
(Since I have many of my stories and images scanned as .pdfs I want to put them somewhere and then just make one link back to the stored files so that my editors and readers can pick and download what they want.)
Should I use my idisk to store the pdfs in bulk or should I use something that iWeb has that I don't know about?
-Mark

I want to put them somewhere and then just
make one link back to the stored files so that my
editors and readers can pick and download what they
want.
You could put them all in your iDisk public folder and then create an iWeb page that consists of a list of individual hyperlinks to these files. Or you could create an iWeb page with links to all these files while they are on your local drive, and it will copy them and upload them as an integral part of the iWeb site. You might want to test the options with just a couple files to see what works best.

I'm trying to share folder between users on a single mac. I put the folder in "shared," set permissions so other user can read and write, enabled file sharing, but can't find the folder on the second user's account. Any help?

I'm trying to share a folder between users on a single mac. I want both users to be able to read and write so the folder stays current on both accounts. I put the folder in "shared," set permissions on folder so other user can read and write, enabled file sharing, but can't find the folder on the second user's account. Any help?

Did you log out of one account and into the other or just used Fast user switching?
Is the permissions set to anyone?
When you move data to teh Shared folder is it copied or just moved?
If copied then it's not a folder both can access, just a way station like a USB thumb drive that things are coped too and off of likely.
You can run this #5 on each user account to reset the user permissions once they are taken back out of the Shared folder

I purchased songs thru itunes and used a file sharing system to get other songs. when i went to sync it came up with error -69. just for the stuff i purchased yesterday and the free doownloads. whats the issue?

purchased songs thru itunes yesterday and also thru a free file sharing place. i added the songs to itunes yesterday & today i went to sync up and all the songs from yesterday have a error -69. what is the deal?

Usually a 69 indicates damage to a file ... but it's a bit suspicious that everything acquired in a short time frame is showing a -69. That has me wondering about disk damage.
Perhaps try running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive (or whichever drive you've got the 69-throwing content on).
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup (especially if it's running on the C:\ drive). The scan should take quite a while (especially on the C:\ drive) ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, do the items still give you a -69 when syncing?

Will office 11 work with lion and old doc files?

I updated to Lion and my old office will not work... will office 11 be able to read and use my old office files ...word and excel?

Office 2011 will work with Lion, old doc files will work with 2011 as long as MS hasn't done something in Office 2011. I have had no problems with files from as far back as office 2003 with 2011.

Mac and winxp pc file sharing

I have followed the directions from ifelix http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3001.html about file sharing. When I put in the PC IP address in the mac it states I have the wrong password. I do not know when to put in the password, it had not asked for one, not really sure which password. For the router, the pc, the mac? Any help?

I am not able to get through. I wonder if the router is set up correctly. If I go to the router it tells me that a number ending with xxx.101 is the IP adddress for the pc and ending with xx.100 is for the mac, yet I used a widget to identify the ip address of the mac, it says it is the .101(for the mac). If I use anything else exept the .101 it does not respond,(keeps searching) if I use .101 it at least tells me it is the wrong name or password. I have tried the password I made for the identity, and several combinations of the name and has not worked.
Thanks for he help

Airport extreme and HDD and windows 7 file sharing, Airport extreme and HDD and windows 7 file sharing

Hi there I simply could not launch files sharing at home using airport extreme.

The disk must be formatted HFS+ ie the standard Mac format or it has to be FAT32.. people mention FAT16 but lets face it.. no one is going to go back that far.
NTFS is not readable.. Strongly recommend using HFS+ so format the disk on a Mac .. once plugged into the AE you can access it from windows over network.

Back UP Old Version of iWeb and all Domain Files FIRST

** Originally posted in the other iWeb forum **
I know this is a tired theme, but since iWeb was updated today to version 2.0, I want to make sure that people understand they can, and should, retain their original installation of iWeb 1.1.2 if they're using third-party templates. Just copy it to a safe place - somewhere other than your Applications folder. This way you can still use it along with 2.0.
Why?
If you're using a theme that was NOT created by Apple, you'll need it. iWeb 2.0 has changed dramatically and no third-party template will work in 2.0. They're all DOA.
DO NOT open your site in 2.0 if it uses a non-Apple template. If you do that, and you update it to 2.0, you'll never be able to edit it again in 1.1.2, you won't be able to add pages, etc, because the template doesn't exist for that version.
I have another thread going with more details but I did not want this information to get lost in that thread. Please be wise and read everything and then back up your stuff before upgrading and playing with the new version. It will save you endless suffering if you do.
I will post updates on this situation at my 11Mystics site as well. As soon as we know if it's possible to convert the themes or regenerate them, I'll let you know.

thanks for keeping us up to date

My office uses windows based computers setup with a server setup. Can an apple server emulate or find compatibility with an apple server or apple computer linked to the server and allow full file sharing and printer sharing with pc's?

I have 11 computers all pc's linked to an old windows server and all used primarily for microsoft office and printer sharing as well as for internet browsing. Can an apple joining the setup cause compatability issues?

HI,
grey-haired IT guy here, old enough to come from the counter culture. I ran (COO, including IT & compliance) a third billion dollar financial institution all on Macs 15 to 20 years ago. All the "experts" had a long list of reasons it would be impossible, and it drove the examiners nuts, but it's only gotten better.
So your benefits are going to be mostly in ease of administration after the learning curve, less aggravating glitches, better overall reliability, and arguably better security. And reductions in cost and improvement in time to implement changes.
In my current environment of mostly dozens of PCs, the moment I let the OS X Server be the domain master controller, the Windows network browser settled down and instantly showed network neighborhoods like it should have. (We may have some forgotten pre-NT machines plugged in somewhere -- this is NOT a financial institution).
Couple anecdotes might explain the feeling of coming in out of the cold: Putting a test copy of a web site from the cloud onto the Mac server, XAMPP or MAMP is pretty much already there. The site has a couple WordPress blogs, and they need .htaccess files, and Apache needs an option set to permit remapping URLs. After much searching far and wide to find why it didn't seem to be working, I found the checkbox right there on Apple's management screens. Much easier than editing .conf from command line. Linux web admins hate it.
Tale # 2: We aren't fully Windows domain controlled -- just using the old network browser. Need to upgrade that, and I Googled quite a while trying to understand what needed to be done to use Apple's Open Directory instead of setting up an Active Directory on Windows -- both SLDAP3. Turns out one reason I couldn't find much is there isn't much to say: it just works. Just join the domain from a Windows machine.
One more and I'll be quiet a bit. We use the Wiki collaboration which is nice enough as far as it goes (no spreadsheets, fatal flaw) and it occupies the server's native web site slot. So the test copy needed to be another site. Easy enough -- site setup is all GUI and works fine, but WordPress could not handle a multiuser blog coming to a non-standard port (other than 80) so I needed a second IP multihomed on the server. How do you do this? Go to Network in the System Prefs, click on the Ethernet interface and select "duplicate". Set your IP address. Done.
In summary a Mac OS X Server is a better server for a Windows shop than Windows Server 200x.
My bottom line for choosing Apple: lower blood pressure. I SHOULD be money. After all is said and done, it's about money. The incredibly more pleasant experience is a free benefit. You'll pay more for better hardware, but way less in time and trouble. And you won't be hounded on a daily basis to update the system. Not that Adobe or Firefox are any better about it on a Mac, but the Apple approach to updates stays in the background.
Think different. Simplify. Focus. Enjoy your work.

I built a website, using iWeb. I backed up daily with Time Machine and OS 10.6. My HD crashed. I replaced the HD and installed 10.5. But now I can't restore iWeb and my domain file. How do I restore my site files on the new drive?

I obviously dont know how to use this forum...my question to the community seems to be the truncated phrase in the title block above..you can scroll thru it to see my whole question....basiclly,.my question is: How do I restore my iWeb domain files which are kept in user>library>applicationssupport>iWeb>domain in my Time Machine date listings...to a newly installed disc. I had a disk crash, removed the failed drive and installed another. I then installed OS 10.5 (I didn't have a copy of my 10.6). Now I'm having difficulty figuring out how to get the iWeb files from the Time Machine external drive used with the 10.6 to the new drive running 10.5...any help muich appreciated....!!
bob in St. Peters Nova Scotia...

Go to to your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder in the Finder and then enter Time Machine. Go back to the last backup that has the domain file, select it and use the Restore button.

Photoshop Elements 12 and old pdd files

Does Photoshop Elements 12 convert pdd files to jpeg??? I have a whole CD full of old family photos that were scanned in .pdd format and now I can't open them. Will upgrading from Elements 2.0 to 12 solve my problem?

Photoshop elements 12 should open the photodeluxe files.
Below are two .pdd files saved from photodeluxe 1 on my mac OS 7.6.1
Opened in pse 12 on windows 7
Probably the reason your photoshop elements 2 won't work on windows 8 is the hard drive is bigger than 1 TB and pse 2 can't read hard drives (free space)
over 1 TB.

Changed account name and old music files no longer can play

I changed my account name to an e-mail address that I currently use. since I moved the old one I could no longer access any longer. Well they have a feature to do that so I took it so it would be easier to remember the account and password. thing is since I changed none of the songs that I purchased with the old account name can be played any longer. they need to be Reauthorized.
No biggie right just type in the old account name and password and I'll be on my way. Wrong :P
According to the music store the old account does not exist. Well of course not that is because I changed it. I check to see my account history under the NEW account and it has all the files I ever downloaded since I first installed iTunes! If this is the case why on earth can I not play the files purchased under my old account under the new accounts name! did I make a mistake by not deauthroizing my computer before changing account? because it is not mentioned in the instructions to do so! Grrr... normally I'd just say oh well but it's most of my iTunes library!
Pleas help!

Problem Resolved!
I was sent back an e-mail stating that I did not make a second account but changed my account name from (accounts will be withheld for security) one to the other. Problem?
Files downloaded from the other account name would not work with the one that I was currently using.
Issues further complicating the matter. My computer recently was having Power supply issues and I reformated my computer several times. Not realizing that this left iTunes Music store saying that I had 5 computers authorized on my account because I had not deauthorized any of the computers each time. Couldn't really, windows crashed out and I couldn't get to it. So when I got everything ironed out on my computer. I couldn't play any of my songs becaus I had reached maximum authorizations! even Deauthorizing and reauthorizing didn't work.
Solution:: Login to your (working) account and go to your account summary. Click on the button that says "Deauthorize ALL computers" This will wipe all computers that you had associated with your account to play your songs. Not that big of deal because all you have to do is log back in. (BIG deal to ppl that don't know your password, which they shouldn't be playing yoru songs anyway!)
Once I resetted my authorization on all computers and logged back in everything was fine.
Now I think the tech that sent me the e-mail did do one thing for me. He must have enabled my old account I used to have and linked it to my current one. Because instead of my old account saying it does not exist it says it works now! yet I still login to and access my account with my new e-mail account!
So even though I would like to say everything was within my power to do myself the whole time. That is not the case. The tech did help me associate the two accounts from withing iTunes. So I can now listen to my songs at anytime I want and not be told I have 5+ computers when I only own 2 LOL

Mac Mini Server and Time Capsule, File Sharing Issue

Setup:
MacMini Server, Time Capsule, 2 Macs connected.
All Macs use the time capsule to backup.
Problem:
I can't use filesharing from over the internet anymore to connect to my server.
Ports 139 and 548 seem to be reserved for the internal backupdisk of the time capsule.
The port mapping rule gets turned off.
How can i still access my files from the outside ?
If i change the filesharing ports to something else, how can i access it ?
Anybody an idea ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
+"I can connect to my server using vpn but my workgroup shortcut in the sidebar of finder doesn't work"+
That's about right. Bonjour won't work over VPN unless you work at it. AFP548 has an article on how to achieve it if you want to go to the trouble.
+"Isn't there a way without manually connect using go?"+
You could drop desired share points into the dock. Next time you initiate a VPN connection simply click on the icon in the dock. Works for me every time.
+"Perhaps some tweaking on the vpn server side?"+
None that I'm aware of. Perhaps someone else knows a way?

IMac and MBAir movie file sharing

Hello,
I created an iMove project on my MBA and want to move it to my iMac. Any idea how to do that? I have been able to move it but it moves it as a movie NOT a project, so I can't edit things like the music.
I've seen replies about putting files on a USB drive etc, but I would rather work on my local machines or my NAS vs hanging a drive off of the machine.
Any thoughts?

I would try the following (but I have no way to test it):
Use iMovie to move your event files to an external USB drive. Do this from within iMovie.
Now close iMovie. Find your iMovie Project files on you internal hard drive. Move them to the USB drive using the finder. Take note if the exact directory structure where the project files are located. You will need to put the project files on the same directory structure on the iMac.
Now plug the USB drive into the iMac. Move your project files to the appropriate directory. Open iMovie. iMovie should see the Event files which are still on the USB drive. Now you can move the Event files to your internal hard drive from within iMovie.

Delete old iPhotos AND old linked files?

SO I upgraded to 10.10.3 today with the new Photos app.
My old photos configuration was using one library in iPhoto, but almost half of my library , from back when I first upgraded from PC to Mac, were in external folders and iPhoto just linked to the original photos in their external folders. At the time I didn't understand that iPhoto would manage the library for me. But it was too much of a hassle to fix, and the old iPhoto wouldn't let me consolidate everything into the library, therefore allowing me to remove my old photos from their external folders.
Now with the new Photos app, I consolidated all my pictures into the library.
I just want to confirm before I screw something up that I can now safely delete my old iPhoto app, the old iPhoto library, and all the old folders that held the original photos as those photos have now been copied into the Photos library. Correct?

Make a bootable clone or another full backup of your macintosh HD, before you start deleting. You may not be able to ever reinstall iPhoto otherwise, since they have been pulled from the App Store.
If you should discover later, that the migration of your libraries has been faulty and you need to repeat it after repairing your libraries, you will be out of luck.
Remember, it is is just one day after the first release of Photos as version 1.0. There are very likely some bugs and I would not burn all bridges before the library has been thoroughly tested and you are very confident, that this early Photos release is working well on your Mac.

XP pro file sharing and guest password - how to enable guest password?

Hi,
I want to share files between two Windows XP pro computers. I would also like that these shares can only be accessed with a password.
Here's a description of my setup:
I have two laptops: over 1 yo Fujitsu-Siemens (FS) running on Windows XP pro (finnish) and a brand new Thinkpad T61 (TP) running on Windows XP pro (english). Both of theses computers have guest account enabled and these accounts have also been password protected. FS's guest account is called "vieras" because of the language settings and TP's guest account is of course just "guest". Guest account passwords have been enabled using "net user <user name> *".
I've disabled simple file sharing on both computers, set shared folder permission to only contain these users: TP - "Guest (TP\Guest)" and FS - "Vieras (FS\Vieras)". Both computers have F-secure on them so I've made firewall rules which enable following services both ways to a specific IP: Ping / ICMP echo request and reply ; Windows file sharing and network printers ; Windows network browsing ; ICMP / Internet Control Message Protocol. I've also enabled these services on Windows firewall.
These computers can connect to each other either via Wi-Fi access point (b-mode) or directly using an ad-hoc Wi-Fi configuration (g-mode). Obviously the latter is used for more bandwidth hungry file transfers. Also, sometimes a cross-over Ethernet cable is used as well for even faster file transfers.
Everything on my setup works just fine except just one thing. I connect to a shared resource by running the computer's IP address. When I connect from TP to FS it prompts for username and password. FS accepts both english and finnish names for the guest account provided that the password is correct. But here's the problem... When connecting from FS to TP _no password or username prompt appears_. If I browse TP's shared folder sessions (under My Computer -> manage) I can see that FS is logged on as "vieras" i.e. FS's guest account.
Since I enabled FS's network shares over a year a go I can't remember everything I did to make it work. Every relevant configuration on TP and FS seem to be identical (e.g. "Security settings -> local policies -> security options -> Accounts: limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only -> enabled") but still TP accepts connections without password prompt.
I've tried to get TP's password prompts enabled for a while now without any success. I did a lot of searching on the subject but I could only find instructions on how to disable guest account password prompts for network shares.
Has anyone had similar experiences or does anyone know what I should try out next? Thanks...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Success!
I solved my problem by changing guest account passwords. I tried to keep things simple by using the same guest password on both computers. This however allowed FS to log on to TP without guest password for some unknown reason. My logic would tell me that having the same guest password would allow both computers to log in without password but this wasn't obviously the case. I guess Windows has its own logic that I can't figure out or this issue had something to do with different language setups. Anyhow my shares work now like I want them to work.
