Lot of little networking things

I have a Graphite iMac and a Graphite iBook. I love 'em both, but I can't solve a bunch of little nagging things.
I just upgraded to OS 10.3.9, and I think that's about as good as I am going to get on the laptop.
Here are the things.
I have my iMac partitioned. One partition is all OS 9.2.2, and it's still the main one, because I can't buy a lot of software, but what I got on it is top drawer and necessary for some work. I also store my iTunes music there, most of it.
The other partition is OS X.
The laptop is one partition, both systems.
For the most part, the networking works best when I have the OS 9.2.2 partition running on the iMac. I can just click a button and tell it to run as a software Base Station for the Airport connection between the two computers.
I can hook up from the iBOOK to either partition on the iMac when the iMac is running 9.2.2 as a base station. I have a cable modem internet connection through the iMac. But I cannot remotely print to my USB printer, even though I have USB printer share turned on in 9.2.2. I try all kinds of print center stuff to see the USB printer, Rendevous, IP, USB, etc., but the printer never shows up.
When I boot up the iMac in OS X, I used to not be able to do anything.
I now have internet access and USB printing, but I can't seem to hook up to iMac to do some basic file sharing, including the iTunes music backup.
I have AppleTalk turned on, but under no circumstances will the iMac show up when I go to "Go" and pull down to Connect to server. I see three options, and they all start a "timeout" countdown. They are all afp:/ addresses, and I frankly haven't got a clue what they are.
I expect I should see the name of the iMac or the network, but I only get this.
Any ideas?
Oh yeah, Mail doesn't want to work in either configuration on the laptop, in sending e-mails. This causes a bit of a hangup trying to get iCal to work. I can boot up Outlook Express in Classic, and it sends and receives, no problem. But Mail won't send.

<<Wow, you do have a bunch of stuff.
It is not surprising that both network fine in 9. Apple had 20 years to make communication between macs seemless.
On the 9 computer, what are the network settings?
Your mail settings need to be fixed to send mail. Open your preferences in Mail and check the connections for pop and smtp.
Have you enabled file sharing in X?>>
It's not both networking in 9. The only way I can file share from my OS X iBook is when I have the iMac running OS 9.2.2.
I don't really use OS 9 on the iBook, even though it is there.
File sharing is on on the iBook, and I have the AppleTalk control panel set for Airport.
I believe I have enabled file sharing in X, but I may be missing something. There is a checklist of about six or seven things. I have file sharing checked, printer sharing and web sharing checked.
Printer sharing just started working, web sharing is working now. But I am not doing something necessary, I guess, when I try to hook up for the file sharing.
The only options I get, when both are in OS X, is a string of characters like a URL, that starts with afp. There are three, none of them hook up to the computer. Two do a 119 second countdown to timeout. The other bombs right away.

  • Lots of little hovering tips next to buttons

    Instead of having people read a user manual I want to have lots of little hovering tips next to button and things people interact with, telling them what they do. when a user hovers over one of these tips i want it to expand with some text inside. I know how to make custom comonents to do this but I am not sure how to manage lots of these little tips on the screen, I think I will have to deal with the popup manger .

    Please implement 1,2 5, 7,8.................Heck implement them all. I agree this phone was supposed to be uninhibited. And put out a fix to stop Bluetooth from intermittently disconnecting!

  • While digitizing camcorder video, PE7 has begun splitting into lots of little video files.  Help!

    I have successfully imported/digitized ca. 80 analog Hi-8 camcorder home videos into PE7 from a Sony Digital Handycam camcorder via a FireWire cable/interface.  However, PE7 has now begun splitting the incoming video feed from the camcorder into lots of little (i.e. shorter) digital video files.  This is now happening with a 2nd camcorder tape.  I don't know why this is happening or how to change settings so it doesn't happen.  It doesn't make any sense why it is happening on these tapes.  Is there something that has happened with the original camcorder tapes that is kicking this off?  Or did a PE7 setting get messed up somehow?  Or what?

    Thank you Steve, Neales, and Infinity Focus for your input.  I haven't tried the freeware YET but I may have to.
    Here is what I have done:
    In the "Capture" panel,
       1) Capture to Timeline
       2) Split Scenes
       3) Smart Tagging
    are ALL turned off (and were already)
    Additionally, in the Capture Preference section of the "Device Control,"
       1) Abort capture on dropped frames (was already off)
       2) Report dropped frames (I turned off)
       3) Use device control timecode (was already off)
    are ALL turned off.
    I am not yet finding, to my knowledge, any other possible relevant settings.  However, Infinity Focus Photos references a "split scenes setting" that he/she sometimes sets too high.  Not sure where this is in PE7 or if I can adjust the level of split scene setting is, if even possible on PE7.
    One concern - I digitized via the above-mentioned means ca. 80 analog Hi-8 tapes successfully via a Digital Camcorder and the Firewire port successfully.  These tapes, except 1 or 2 were all recorded on the same Sony Hi-8 camcorder.  Howevever, I later found another camcorder tape recorded on the same camcorder machine.  Nothing should have been different in terms of the recording.  Yet, rather than record the WHOLE tape as 1 file as in the previous 80 tapes.  It split these 15-25 minutes into ca. 39 different files.  Now I am trying to digitize another 20 tapes recorded on a different camcorder and these are ALL being split into shorter files.  This makes no sense to me.  I didn't change any settings on PE7 from before.  However, I have NOW turned off "report dropped frames."  This doesn't seem to make any difference.  Plus the reporting of dropped frames is still made at the end of the digitizing task.
    As I am converting from analog to digital, unless I request PE to split scenes/smart tag which I am not (to my knowledge), I don't understand why it won't record the entire tape to one file.  I wouldn't think it would be reading a digital time code as the tape is analog.  The only thing I could imagine is that is somehow reading changes in the picture (like going black) and trying to make smart decisions automatically (which I have NOT asked it to do).  If you will, please clarify for me what might be going on.
    Now that I've expressed the details, let me also express my frustration with PE7.  I don't know if any here are employees of Adobe and, if so, I apologize.  However, I've been very frustrated and disappointed with PE7.  In my efforts to digitize and edit video footage, it has seemed that time and time again, whatever I think it should be able to do and want to do, it cannot do.  I'm sure that there are many things it does well.  However, importing and converting footage is one of those things that I think is an extremely limited function for PE7.  I also own an older Premiere Pro (which I don't use).  So many things that it seems counterintuitive that it SHOULD be able to do (without listing all of those out here), it CANNOT do.  Rather, the posts scattered throughout this form seem to be constantly suggesting labor-intensive work-arounds or third-party freeware or shareware to accomplish what this software SHOULD be able to do simply.  From that perspective, I would argue that this version of Premiere Elements is poorly engineered.  I bought Premiere Pro and then Premiere Elements because I have been very pleased with Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, and the whole of the Adobe Creative Suite software.  I feel bad because I have consistently regretted this decision which has resulted in substantial time delays in doing this project and hundreds of hours of additional work efforts.  However, I am now fully invested into PE and switching would result in much re-work.
    To me, a great video editing software (well-engineered) is fully intuitive (i.e. you can look at it and figure out what to do) and can accomplish the tasks needed from digitizing/importing through organizing through editing through final rendering for any but extreme cases (non-standard applications).  Everything I've had/used and done, I would consider to be standard equipment and applications but PE7 has struggled to work with it well (Thank God, I was able to borrow a digital Hi- camcorder and that my computer had Firewire.  Otherwise, I'd still be struggling).  At the same time, if one needs to dig further for more complicated tasks/settings, it is easy to burrow into the software beyond the basic functions to intuitively find and set those settings.  I wonder whether it might be time for PE to re-design from bottom up a good Windows alternative to Apple's iMovie applications that is consumer friendly AND capable of higher end editing needs/settings rather than continuing to make incremental changes to a software design that, in my guess, probably hearkens back to a previous era when highly knowledgeable video professionals were the primary or sole users of video software that required substantive background knowledge and a steep software learning curve.  I'm sure the current versions are much better than previous era versions.  Nevertheless, I would argue that a ground-up re-design may be in order that accomplishes the whole video process well and easily.  Just my opinions as a non-expert.

  • How do i create a little network with my i-mac and macbook

    how do i create a little network with my i-mac and macbook

    Hello:
    To give a sensible answer, a little more information is needed.
    I am guessing that you want to set up a wireless network as you have both a desktop and laptop.
    There are some pretty good tutorials/articles in the knowledge base articles.

  • My iPhone 4 has had a cover on it since the day I first had . But the back of the phone now has lots of little marks all over it . They don't feel like scratches since I can't feel them with finger or fingernail. They won't shift with alcohol or anything

    My iPhone 4 has had a cover on it since the day I first had it . But the back of the phone now has lots of little marks all over it . They don't feel like scratches since I can't feel them with finger or fingernail. They won't shift with alcohol or anything. I am guessing they have been caused by dirt between the cover and the rear of the phone; but that is despite me cleaning the back and the inside of the back cover regularly. Has anyone else had the same?

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

    For the past six months, my MacBook Air has been buggy.  For example, the dashboard at the bottom doesn't come up readily.  Sometimes I have to move the cursor down there four or five times before it will show.
    Also, my yahoo email accounts keep asking for my password even though I put it in correctly.  My yahoo mail won't send from my MacBook Air but it sends from my other devices that are set up the same way.
    Any suggestions?

    Reinstalling Snow Leopard
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    Reinstall OS X: Snow Leopard's installer will not erase your hard drive and will preserve all your data, users, network preferences, and third-party applications and their support files.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • Beginner, lot of little problems

    Hello everybody (excuse me for my bad english).
    I just installed solaris, for the first time, and there are several things I don't understand.
    1) Firstly, I have seen that the $home folder for a new user is generally /export/home/username (no problem with this). But I was used to do this on /home/username before, so I tried the following before executing useradd: "chmod u+w /home" -> it answered me that it is impossible to modify /home. For me it's strange because I am root. Could someone explain me that?
    2) More important, in some applications (java applications?), some keys of my keyboard are not recognized (ALT GR - X, backspace sometimes). For example, during the installation procedure of solaris, or in the management console, or again in the update manager. So I can't type an email address (@) or I have to use copy/paste from an other application (I copy the text from the terminal for example before copying it to the field. Does someone know how to solve this?
    3) Last important thing, it looks like if there are problems with the update manager, it tries to install things during too long time (I have wait at less 2 hours, it was at the same level on the progress bar than 1 hour before). And when I try to cancel, I have a little popup that says it is cancelling, I wait I wait but nothing happens!
    These are not very important things, but I would be very happy of any help (I hope my post is undestandable, as you can see, I am not very good in english :) )

    thank you sid_sanders , you was probably right about the "out of space" problem. I have re installed solaris and the update manager seems to work fine. I have also solved my /home poblem. But I have a new one, with my internet connection.
    At the beginning, my ethernet device was not set up in solaris, so I followed this tutorial:
    http://solaris-x86.org/documents/tutorials/network.mhtml
    But something does not work, because my connection is not set up when solars is started.
    I can easily access internet by doing this:
    # ifconfig rtls0 192.168.1.243 netmask 255.255.255.240 up
    # route add default 192.168.1.241
    But apparently, my files are bad configured, or solaris does not use them, have you got an idea about what happen?
    I use an basic switch/router at home.
    This is some informations about the concerned files:
    my card is a realtek, and there is only one driver name for it
    # cat /boot/solaris/devicedb/master | grep Realtek
    pci10ec,8139 pci10ec,8139 net pci none "Realtek 8139 Fast Ethernet"
    # cat /etc/driver_aliases | grep rtls
    rtls "pci10ec,8139"
    # ls /dev/rtls*
    /dev/rtls /dev/rtls0
    (for the following file, I am not absolutely sure of me because I don't know if it is necessary to use a domain name and i don't really understand the first line)
    # cat /etc/hosts
    ::1 localhost loghost laptop
    127.0.0.1 localhost loghost laptop
    192.168.1.243 laptop
    cat /etc/hostname.rtls0
    laptop
    # cat /etc/netmasks
    192.168.1.0 255.255.255.240
    # cat /etc/resolv.conf
    nameserver 192.168.1.241
    # cat /etc/defaultrouter
    192.168.1.241
    And I have done the following:
    cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf
    If you have an idea about the problem...
    Thank you by advance.

  • My computer is slow, makes lots of little ******* sounds.  How do i fix slowness?

    My computer is really slow, and makes noises when it is opening anything on internet or in powerpoint.  The noises sound like the same as on my old PC that had a virus, the sound is like an upset stomch or little bubbles bursting etc.  How can I check for viruses or other problems and repair this.  My new $800 PC laptop is 3 times the speed of this $2,000 mac (intel 10.6.8 version)

    You don't have any viruses because there are none for OS X so you can rule that out. OS X does not need third  party utilities to maintain itself like MS Windows in that everything you need is already built into it however sometimes you just need to know where to look.
    Slowness can be caused by many different things so what is causing your is difficult to say. One common issue is a computer operating without enough RAM. As a general rule OS X needs 500MB or more of FREE RAM at all times to run well. Keep Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) running, then when you notice a slow down navigate to it, click the System Memory tab and take a look, it will look similar to:
    If you are low on FREE RAM then a simple RAM upgrade is in order. I would also recommend looking over 25 Ways to Speed Up Your Mac  , you will find your problem there but you need to be systematic in order to find your specific issue. You can also watch the Slow Mac Fixes for some hints.
