MacBook Pro On Windows Network

Hi There.
My MacBook Pro is running off my AirPort Express and i can not see any shared windows devices.
How can i fix this?
Regards
Luke

What it seems to be is that my AirPort Express (V1) has some sort of a firewall that blocks the Windows Computers and when i plug ethernet in to the MacBook Pro i can see the Windows Computers
Yes and no. Chances are it is the fact that the Airport Express is a "Router", and most network services for discovering local services will not cross a router boundary (after all you do not want everyone in the world seeing your stuff, and you do not want to see every service in the world when looking for you stuff; how would you ever find your stuff in that huge mess).
What you need to do is disable the router function of the Airport Express and turn it into a Bridge.
Applications -> Utilities -> Airport Utility
Double-Click on the Airport Express
Click on the "Internet" tool bar icon
Set "Connection Sharing" to "Off (Bridge Mode)"

  • Macbook Pro and Windows Network Printing

    My family just had their PC's hooked up wirelessly on a network. Printing and everything else was all set up wirelessly also. The computer and the laptop work just fine, but for some reason we can't get my mac to hook up to the printing network. We can share itunes and internet, it's just the printing that won't work.
    Any suggestions? We had a computer tech come out to help us set it up, but he couldn't figure it out either.
    Thanks, I appreciate all the help I can get.

    I sort of have the same problem. I have a desktop computer running Windows XP with all the latest drivers and an HP PSC 1315 All-In-One printer attached via USB to the desktop. I have been trying to install or add the printer using my MacBook via the home network (wirelessly via the router). I have tried several of the offered methods such as adding via windows and IP address. I do see the printer and upon adding it, it asks for a username and password, to my knowledge, we do not have one setup. I have also tried to add it as a guest. It still won't let me add and successfully print from my MacBook to the HP PSC 1315. Does anyone have an idea to solve this problem? Thank you very much.

    Hi Sig,
    The issue is that i only want the shared folders to be accessed through windows 7.
    Whats the point otherwise to have shared folders?
    thanks..

  • HT4796 Can Windows 7 be installed on my new MacBook Pro, through my network connection?  The disc would be in my Windows desktop.

    Can Windows 7 be installed on my new MacBook Pro, through my network connection?  The disc would be in my Windows desktop.

    I wouldn't recommend installing through a network connection.
    For a Virtual Machine:
    If you have the Win 7 media (DVD), use an app like PowerISO or MagicISO to make an ISO file of the install disc and use that.
    For BootCamp:
    Use the original install media and BootCamp Assistant, to install from your DVD Drive.

    Is it best to run Windows 7 in Boot Camp, or would it be better to use VMWare Fusion or similar? I have a MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo (OSX 10.6.8) and I also have a Dell laptop solely because one program that I need to use for work is only available for Windows. I would love to consolidate to my mac but am afraid installing Windows will ruin it!
    It all depends on what your useage of Windows will be, for playing games install it in BootCamp, for word processing, spreadsheets, email. browsing etc a virtual Machne will be fine.

  • HT202879 I am switching to Apple macbook pro from Windows laptop.  Is Apple compatible with Microsoft Office?  How can I transport from Windows to Mac?  What I have saved on external hardrives, will I be able to open it on Mac?

    Office for Mac, http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products, can open/edit/create Office documents.If your external drive is formatted NTFS then you can copy the Office documents to your computer and work on them. You won't be able to save the files back to your NTFS formatted drive. But you will be able to save the documents to your internal drive. You can move all the external files to your internal drive then format the external drive for Apple. Then you can copy the files back to your external drive for ongoing use.

    Is Apple compatible with Microsoft Office?
    Any computer is compatible as long as it can read and write Office files. But for perfect (or at least near perfect) compatibility, you would want to purchase Office 2011 for Mac.
    How can I transport from Windows to Mac?
    You can't directly transport any installation of Windows. All PC's come with a machine specific version of Windows intended for that PC. They don't have all of the hardware drivers the retail disks cover.
    If you want Windows on your Mac, you would first purchase a full version copy (NOT an upgrade disk) of Windows 7 or 8. Those are the only supported versions on newer Macs. You install it through the supplied Boot Camp utility that comes with the Mac to create a new partition for Windows, and then install the retail copy of Windows you purchased.
    The reason only these versions of Windows are supported is the same basic reason as a machine specific version of Windows for a PC. Apple only includes the necessary Mac hardware drivers for Win 7 or 8 on new Macs.
    Once Windows is installed, you could then install the version of Office for Windows you already own. The nuisance of a Boot Camp partition is that you have to physically boot to either Windows or OS X, so you can only use the apps of the OS you're in at the time. To use both at once, you'd have to use virtual machine software (Parallels, VMware, VirtualBox) and then install Windows within that. Then you'd be able to run Windows inside of OS X and have access to both at the same time.

    You'll need to erase the drive by booting up holding command-option-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
    Use Disk Utility to erase the disk and then Internet Recovery. That will take a while.
