LGtv via wi-fi direct to mac pro

Trying to connect LG TV to mac pro. Mac recognises TV but TV can't find Mac. What settings on Mac and how to set?

If I am reading your profile correctly .. a TP-Link TL-WDN4800 will do nicely.

Otherwise let me suggest a rather easier and often pretty cheap solution that is bullet proof.
Get a bridge router and use that. What you buy depends on the main router. eg if you have an apple AE or TC as main router then any Apple router in wireless extend mode will provide ethernet to wireless bridge.
A second hand AE can be cheaper than a dedicated decent wireless card and you can locate it better on a few meters of ethernet cable.
If you have a different brand you cannot use the AE or TC but you can use the Express. Or use a similar router that has universal bridge or WDS. This is not 100% straight forward.. what you have now dictates what you will install.

  • Capturing Audio and Video Directly to Mac Pro

    Is it possible to create a video by recording directly to the Hard Drive via FireWire?
    I have a Mac Pro - 10 gigs of Ram, Quicktime Pro, Final Cut Express, Imovie.
    I need to make some training videos that will be posted to the web and would like to streamline the process and record directly to the computer. Would like to create best quality possible but still go direct to the computer.
    Can you suggest a camera (need good audio too) and application.

  • Trouble using firewire drives via thunderbolt adapter on bootcamped Mac Pro 2013 towers

    Here at the university, we've just installed a new classroom of Mac Pro towers (late 2013).  We like to use Bootcamp in said classroom, and so I (painstakingly) installed Windows 8.1 on a test machine.  I've found that the brand new firewire-to-thunderbolt adapters we bought don't seem to work when booted into Windows.  I have few LaCie firewire drives I use to install software packages, and the occasional WD My Book, and our students are encourage to purchase G-Drives to back up their film projects.
    I have a couple of LaCie drives that I've partitioned as part Mac OS Extended and part ExFat (or even MS-DOS just in case).   The Windows-friendly partitions don't mount or even get detected, so I think it's the adapter(s) not being recognized by Windoes, especially since the firewire to thunderbolt adapters work on the Mac side.
    Could this be a driver problem like what's mentioned here?

    Well, no one answered at all, but somehow the problem solved itself.  I'm not sure if one of the automatic Windows updates cleared things up or what, but now I can connect Firewire drives with no problems.  Also, as some kind of bonus, Windows 8 is able to read Mac partitioned firewire drives, which I don't think was possible in Windows 7.
    The problem may also have been that I hadn't entered the Windows activation key in yet? I'm not sure that makes sense in terms of Thunderbolt adapters...
    10+ years ago, I read a Microsoft tip of the day that said "Problems that go away by themselves can come back by themselves." It's haunted me ever since.

  • MAC PRO TO LGTV WITH WI-FI DIRECT. MAC SETTINGS?

    My mac finds the TV but TV can't find Mac. What settings do I need on Mac and how do I set them.
    I would like to connnect Mac to TV wirelessly.

    Hi Sabretooth04,
    Thank for the link to the HP LaserJet Pro 300/400 Color User Guide. I have already downloaded the PDF of the User Guide and have it safely stored in the "Documents" folder on my main hard drive. I have made searches within the document looking for information about securing the wireless WiFi connection on the HP LaserJet Pro 300/400 Color. I have not found the answer I was looking for.
    You directed me to page 43 in the HP LaserJet Pro 300/400 Color User Guide (document number c02663889). Unfortunetely those instructions are for installing a Windows wireless network. I do not have a Windows computer. I have an Apple iMac computer. I apologize for not being clear enough about the computer I'm using.
    My Apple iMac shows me all the Wi-Fi networks that are within range of my Apple iMac. Most of the networks are password protected / secure / locked (meaning next to the name of the newtwork there is a padlock symbol) My HP 64 LaserJet 400 Color appears in the list of Wi-Fi networks and it is not secure or does not have a padlock symbol next to the name (HP 64 LaserJet 400 Color). This tells me that anyone within the range of the printer could wirelessly send a document to my printer to be printed. I don't kow why someone would want to do that but my experience is there are evil people that don't have anything better to do than cause disruption and mayhem and an unlocked printer is an invitation to send a 250 page document to my unsecured/not password protected/unlocked HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color Printer and use up all my paper and towner.
    So I do I secure my HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color Printer with a password so someone cannot access the printer wirelessly and print a 250 page document when I'm not home?
    Thank you.

  • Mac Pro, HDTV Hookup, Other input

    This is just a general question about the operation of the display when connected to a HDTV. Just to start, I have no issues connecting to my LGTV. When I have my Mac Pro connected to the TV, via display-port to HDMI, the clamshell open, and a different input (i.e. my PS3) selected, the display continues to flash the blue screen. Is the computer cycling through the same process even when I have the clamshell closed. I have always just disconnected the cable to prevent the computer from performing any unwanted action, but seeing as I do not know what exactly is happening with the clamshell closed, I would just like to know if there is a way around having to disconnect the cable every time?

    Did you check Utilities> Audio MIDI Setup?

  • Mac Pro + XServer RAID + FCP2 + Configuration

    Hello all. This is my first post here.
    I will soon buy a MacPro por video editing on Final Cut Pro 2 and I was wondering if you could help sort out if the configuration I've chosen is the best.
    I'll show you the configurations I thought first:
    *Mac Pro*
    - Two 3.0GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    - 4GB (4 x 1GB)
    - Mac Pro RAID Card
    - 2 x 500gb HDD
    - ATI Radeon X1900 XT
    - 20" Apple Cinema Display + 23" Apple Cinema HD Display
    - Dual-channel 4Gb Fibre Channel PCIe
    *XServer RAID*
    - 2000GB ADM (4x500GB Ultra ATA)
    - Cache Battery Back-up Modules
    - Dual-channel 4Gb Fibre Channel PCIe
    My idea:
    A) The MAC Pro I'll be used for 3D rendering and video editing. I'll configure the 2x500GB with RAID1 (mirroring) for a fail safe env, leaving my with 500GB of available space
    B) XServer RAID will be connected directly to the Mac Pro (for now) via the fiber optic cards and we'll provided additional storage.
    C) For projects stored on the XServer RAID (videos for example) I must be able to access and edit directly with FCP2 without having to pass it to the Mac Pro
    D) I was thinking of using RAID5 for XServer RAID configuration leaving me with 2.64 x 500GB (as described on support faqs) = 1.3 TB of disk space with a reasonable fail safe environment (RAID5 with 3 drives allows one drive to fail and offers a good recovery rate).
    OK. My questions:
    1) Is my MacPro config enough for FCP2 + 3D Rendering ?
    2) Can I use the XServer RAID directly with Mac Pro or do I need aditional software / hardware?
    3) Can I connect the fiber optic from one board to the other without using the router? (on google the answers I found were very vague...)
    4) Is the RAID5 the best choice (in terms of performance vs data recovery) for video editing. The RAID5 specs states that random writes to disk are slower that other RAID configs. Is RAID 50 (5+0) a better choice?
    5) I opted for the 4 HDD config on XServer but I could change to a 7 HDD config for a similar total space.
    I'm sorry for the long post, but I can't find anywhere suitable information about this questions.
    Hope to hear from you.
    Thanks in advance!

    We have a ton of Xserve's and Xserve RAID's at my work. As of right now they're all directly connected to our servers with Fibre Channel cables (NOT fiber optic, totally different animal.) We finally just bought our first Fibre Channel switch to hookup five 10.5TB RAIDS and a huge tape loader for backups. The RAID's work perfectly when directly connected and are very fast. The only reason that you would need a Fibre Channel switch is if you want multiple machines to be able to access the array without using network shares.
    I really don't think that just four drives will give you the performance that you're looking for. In order to get good performance out of a RAID5 you NEED as many spindles as you can get. If you're stuck to a budget if would probably go to smaller drives but get more of them. I think you've already discovered this but if you want to do a RAID5+0, you'll need to populate drives on both sides of the RAID as they are physically seperated.
    As far as I know, you can only get Xserve RAID Drive Modules from Apple as they do some pretty intensive testing on every drive before they ship. You can't even buy empty modules, you can buy blanks but they don't include the required electronics.

  • Connecting G5 to Mac Pro

    Greetings!
    I currently have a Mac Pro running OSX 10.6.4 and a Power Mac G5 running OSX 10.4.11. I am attempting to connect the two on a network.
    The Mac Pro is connected to router via ethernet cable. The G5 is connected wirelessly via Airport Express.
    The Mac Pro hard drive shows up fine on my G5. However, I can't seem to get the G5 hard drive to show up on the Mac Pro. I have checked the IP address, file sharing is on and seem to be doing everything I'm supposed to in order to make it work. Is there something I am missing?
    \\ DAVID \\

    So they both have to either be wireless or connected via ethernet cable?
    No, that is not correct.
    Can't have one and not the other?
    Yes, you can have one wired and one wireless.
    IF your wireless Mac is on a WEP, WPA, WPA-2 protected Network, you will be asked for the password when you first venture onto the wireless part of the Network to talk to the computer there. If you work from the wireless end, you have already entered the password, so no new demand for the password will occur.
    I wanted to be certain you understood where the new demand for password was coming from, and which password was being asked for.

  • Networking / controlling Tiger G5 from Mac Pro?

    I have a G5 Tiger and a Mac Pro Leopard.
    Is there any way to control the G5 from the Leopard based Mac Pro?
    I know there is screen sharing? but not sure if this is available on Tiger?
    I have 2 screens on Leopard and want to somehow control the G5 from my 1 x keyboard/mouse?
    Is this possible? I have tried Teleport but didnt work that great?

    Don't know about the two screens shared -- I don't have anything with two screens.
    Don't know what to say about speed and "jumpiness." I don't experience that on my Leopard Mac Pro connecting via wireless 802.11g to Leopard G4/867 tethered to router by ethernet cable. Didn't have the problem when the G4 was running Tiger, either.
    You are not inadvertently going out onto the internet and back in. You would have had to turn on port forwarding in your modem/router and route port 5900 to your G5 and connect to your modem's ISP-assigned IP address (the one you see when you visit http://checkip.dyndns.com/).
    My experience and consequently formed opinion has been that Apple's Screen Sharing blows any VNC client away, with regards to speed, "smoothness" of keyboard and mouse and remote screen rendering.
    Both machines are tethered via ethernet cable to the router, right? I'm grasping at straws here, but try disconnecting one of the screens and see if that helps? Or perhaps disconnect the G5 screen ... after you have set the screen resolution on the G5 to match the Mac Pro's screen resolution. Maybe your router is not up to the task?
    Granted, it will not be as smooth as sitting in front of the G5 itself, screen rendering for me is a bit "blocky," but it should be nearly as good as being there. I find it quite useful -- although I probably could not view a video running on the G5 via Screen Sharing on the Mac Pro. But I find mine is more than useable even when I tunnel the connection through ssh (secure shell) over the internet at large and that is with a 896kbps uplink to my ISP for the screen rendering of the "server" machine.
    I honestly don't think you'll find anything better than the built-in Screen Sharing on the Mac Pro in conjunction with the built-in Apple Remote Desktop server on the G5...except maybe running Leopard on the G5, too.

  • Cluster via Mac Pro second ethernet port?

    I'm on an enterprise 10/100 LAN and want to link two Mac Pros together for a cluster. I don't want to use the Internet Ethernet-1 port because it's slow and IT will probably throw a fit if they figure out I'm transferring massive amounts of data over the network. Consequently, I'll try to get a 1000Mb router and make my own gigabit LAN linked into the building network, however, IT will throw a fit if someone is operating behind a firewall inside their precious network.
    Anyway, until I get this router situation worked out, I would like to link the two machines via a single Ethernet cable, while still retaining my Internet connection on the other port. In my trials, this doesn't work. I appear only able to use the active Ethernet port w/ the LAN.
    Any ideas here?
    Also, any suggestions on a reasonable quality router would be bonus help.
    Thanks

    I've tried this before a while ago. I had the LAN/cloud setup on port 1, and directly connected to another Mac on port 2 and no dice w/ manual network settings. IIRC, I couldn't even select it in Qmaster.
    I guess, first, has anyone got this to work? I'll give it another shot, but it would be nice to know someone has got this working before I start banging my head again.

  • IPhone accessing Mac Pro's shared internet via Bluetooth

    I have an iPhone 4 which is running without an ATT contract (no cellular) and acting like an iPod.
    I can access the Internet using the wifi arrangements on the iPhone, and this works easily.
    But I would like to turn off the wifi on the iPhone and configure the iPhone to access the Internet
    via the shared internet service on my Mac pro, connecting via bluetooth.
    I am starting to think this is not possible, and the tethering can only go the other way, That is to
    say that the iPhone can share it's cellular net access with the Mac via personal hotspot, or possibly
    using bluetooth PAN or some other bluetooth connection service.
    I have tried creating PAN network interfaces on the Mac Pro, and then I go to the iPhone and set
    up a paired connection between the iPhone and the Mac Pro. But I just can't seem to guess the
    right set of settings so that the iPhone can use the Mac Pro's internet via the PAN service.
    Does PAN service only serve the iPhone's internet to an external device (like a notebook), or can
    it be used in the other direction to allow the iPhone to request IP packet service from the Mac Pro?
    Thoughts?

    I've been having the same problems as everyone else here. Trying to share internet connection from my ethernet wired iMac to my MacBook and my iPhone. Tried all the workarounds, but nothing works, or lasts very long.
    Yesterday, I finally talked with AppleCare for over an hour. All their suggestions (trashing preferences, changing settings, etc.) failed, as well. The AppleCare person then put me on hold to speak to an engineer, who told her that Snow Leopard no longer supports Internet Sharing as of 10.6.1.
    Not willing to accept that answer, I had them set up an appointment at the Apple Store Genius Bar for me, and after chatting with the Genius for a while, he also confirmed that Internet Sharing is no longer supported under Snow Leopard. Apparently, there were many hardware issues that the engineers decided to circumvent, and so did not include support for Internet Sharing with the internal airport in Macs. They said that the Airport it is intended to receive, not to send a signals! Yet, it worked fine, doing just that, under Tiger and Leopard! The only fix he could offer was to wipe my drive and take me back to 10.5, which I declined.
    However both the guy at the Genius Bar and the lady at AppleCare inferred that Apple "may" release another update to fix this issue, if they get enough complaints and bug reports.
    So, there you have it. Apple no longer officially supports Internet Sharing in Snow Leopard.

  • Mac Pro and G4 won't talk via ethernet

    Hi, I know this is child's play for many of you, but I'm at a dead end. I'm trying to network my new Mac Pro with my G4 MDD /dual 1.25/ V.10.2.8. I made sure that file sharing is on in both Macs, that the ethernet ports are active, and that I have a good quality cable. When I try and access the G4 from the mac pro, from Go>connect to server,I get a connection failure window. And from connect to server>browse>network, the G4 shows up but the MPro locks up when I try and connect.
    When I try and access the MPro from the G4,via go>connect to internet, I get an error-36 message. And in both cases I'm using either the computer name .local or the ip address.
    The macs see each other but won't connect. Any thoughts or experience with this problem?
    And finally, I'm really not sure if I'm going about this the right way. My goal is to use the G4 to drive SCSI devices I use for work, and as a file server.
    And since the G4 has multiple drives, I don't know if I'll be able to access/see them all via direct ethernet. To see all of the G4 drives from the mac pro, is a direct connect sufficient or do I need a different approach?
    Thanks in advance,
    KKnographer

    Thanks for the tip on applejack. Disc Warrior has been good to me but I thought I'd give AJ a try. I downloaded and ran it in the G4 to clear any potential issues. Afterward, I still could not connect with the G4, via either the IP or the computer name.local.
    So I went back to the computer store and picked up a crossover cable. Same price as the patch cable I was using, and I'm aware that it's not technically required, but I figured "why not?" So I installed the crossover cable and I still couldn't connect at first, via Go>connect to server>IP address or name.
    Then I tried Go>connect to server>browse>network and I could see the G4 as before. Previously, when I went this route and hit "connect" to see shares, the MPro locked up. This time I held my breath, hit "connect", had to log in as registered, Icould see my HD's in the G4, selected and opened. TaaDaaa! Saints be praised!
    As a test to finalize this thread and help out any other poor soul in my position, I dragged the volume icons to the trash restarted the G4 after switching back to the original patch cable. No connection was possible via any route including the network browser. Then I reconnected the crossover cable and it works fine so long as I go in through the network browser and log in.
    So the fundamental problem seems to have been the cable. Whether the original patch cable is bad, or whether or not I really need the crossover I don't know, but the crossover works for me and the patch didn't.
    Thank you all for your assistance!

  • ESATA: connecting 2 mac pro's via esata to each other

    has anyone tried to connect 2 mac pro's via esata directly to each other (instead of the slower ethernet connection)? i was hoping to install esata cards into the pci-express slots into 2 mac pros and instead of the usual ethernet connection between the 2 so they can file share, i was hoping for a faster estata connection if that is possible. would i see the computers in the usual finder window under "shared?" note: the mac pro's would be physically close to each other, so cable length connection is a non issue.

    Hopefully no one would try this.
    NAS or FiberChannel like Apple did with XRAID.
    OS X client is not designed to handle file-locking and device sharing, not in this manner.

I have tried to reset then to log in in apple store with my login but didn't help. I would appreciate any tips to sort it out
    Thanks fellas

    That machine did not ship with Mountain Lion (Mac OS X 10.8), so that means the copy of Mountain Lion on the machine was purchased by the former owner and is non-transferable. It is permanently linked to his/her Apple ID, so you cannot update or reinstall it.
    What you need to do (which the seller should have done for you) is reinstall the original system that that machine came with. I believe that would be Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6). What you need to do is reinstall that system from the original disks. If the seller did not provide those disks, you can call Apple and get them replaced for a small shipping and handling fee.
