Macbook runing XP SP3 connecting to iMac

I have a Macbook running OSX10.5.3 and bootcamp 2.1 with windows XP SP3. The problem is that it will not connect to my iMac unless I use an unsecure wireless network. Windows xp sees the iMac, asks for a password, but thats is far as it gets.
My Imac does have the problem that on startup or restart I need to switch internet sharing off then on to get it to work, apparently this is a known problem.
Anyone got any ideas I've run out?

Try Senuti.
It's a program that transfers music from iPod to iTunes on a Mac.
As is Music Rescue.
Both of these should work with a Windows formatted iPod because Macs can read and write to FAT32 formatted drives.

  • MacBook Air can't connect to iMac network, but other computers can

    This one has been driving me absolutely batty.
    I have 4 computers on our network – a mini, iMac, Macbook, and Macbook Air. Screen and file sharing works great except everywhere except between the iMac and Air, which can't do anything with each other. They show up in each other's "Devices" list in the Finder, but trying to connect over any port, pinging, etc. doesn't work.
    I've tried turning off the Firewall, changing IP addresses and dns settings, rebooting, turning off ipv6, creating new user profiles on both machines, and just about anything else I can think of. What am I missing
    Thank you kindly for any help you can provide!

    That's been one of the more difficult parts – no connections work over any protocols/ports that I've tried, whether via browsing or Connect to Server..., though something is working (UDP?) to allow both computers to see each other in the devices list in the Finder.
    It happened just now. I was working on the Air and had mounted the iMac. It worked fine for about 15 minutes and then I suddenly got the pinwheel of death when trying to access the mounted iMac volume. Hanging, hanging, hanging, so I relaunched the Finder. Now I can't access the iMac at all (except, again, to see it in the devices list).
    Here are seemingly related messages in the console (note that there is 1.2 TB unused on iMac and 11 GB unused on Air). It's showing some kind of file system error. Guess I'll run fsck and see what happens.
    Thanks again for your help!

    Connect a male-to-male Mini DisplayPort or ThunderBolt cable to each computer.
    Press Command-F2 on the keyboard of the iMac being used as a display to enable TDM.

  • Both my iMac and macbook pro will not connect to a certain web site?

    Both my macs (21" new iMac & a 2008 macbook pro) will not connect to foxcycling.co.uk. I know the site is live as I can access on my iphone and ipad.
    From what I've read on the forums its a settings issue which probably migrated from the macbook to the iMac when I migrated the data.
    Very frustrating ....
    Any idea's and simple solutions?
    Both systems up to date etc

    OK, OS X does not include Adobe Flash. The website is probably Flash based. Chrome has Flash incorporated into it. If you want to download and install Flash visit Adobe's website and download Flash for your system.

  • How to i connect my imac and my macbook so there doncuments are up to date

    how do i connect my imac and my macbook so they are in sync and up to date with the same documents?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    There isn't a way to connect both Macs with a cable to keep your documents updated on them. However, if you need all your documents updated on both Macs, you can use a cloud service as iCloud or Dropbox to sync your documents. Preferably, I recommend Dropbox because it can sync all type of files between both computers > http://www.dropbox.com
    Another thing you can do is to buy an external disk and put your documents here

  • First is it possible to connect my imac eaRLY 2009 as display for my macbook white 2010?

    first is it possible to connect my imac eaRLY 2009 as display for my macbook white 2010? If so what exact cables on the market do i need to purchase to make this work? Please help me out. I cannot afford to buy a new mac so temporarily this is my only solution.
    Thanks to all my Mac buddies for your assistance

    The Early2009 20" or 24" iMac don't have any video-in capabilities.
    Depending on your needs, you can investigate or tryout AirDisplay or ScreenRecycler which enable use of a Mac from another Mac or Windows PC through network/wireless connections.

  • Slow connection speed imac but not macbook

    Slow connection speed on my imac 2.4ghz intel core 2 duo running 10.6.8, I get download of 15mbs and upload of 9mbs but on my macbook pro 2.8ghz intel core i7 on the same desk I am getting 33mbs and 10mbs!
    Can anyone help me out on this, thanks in advance.

    The two key numbers here are: 1) Transmit Rate: 59 which is the current maximum bandwidth of the wireless connection in Mbps, and 2) The MCS Index: 6 which indicates that the iMac's connection to the BT Home Hub wireless is only using a single spatial steam. Forget the techo mumbo jumbo, your iMac is much more capable than that.
    You should expect a Transmit rate closer to 130 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz radio. At least this explains the poorer performance of the iMac. I would venture to say that if you temporarily connected the iMac to the BT using an Ethernet connection the iMac would equal or exceed the MacBook Pro's bandwidth performance.
    Has this always been an issue or something that has just recently started happening?

  • Macbook connects but imac doesnt

    I have been living in my apartment for about a week now and my macbook is able to connect to the network and get me online. Just yesterday my imac arrived here and it also connects to the network, and appears to have just as strong of a connection as my macbook but it will not let me get online. I cannot connect to ichat, safari, or my email. If anyone has suggestions as to why this is please share. Thank you

  • How to connect my Imac to my HDTV

    I have a 2007 aluminum Imac and a 50 inch 1080p HDTV. is there anyway I could connect my Imac to the tv and control it via wireless mouse and keyboard... The rear connections on the tv are 3 hdmi, 2 component, s-video and AV.. Please let me know what is easiest, fastest, most reliable and produces the best picture.. Thanks so much!
    Also I might get the new 13 inch macbook pro, what would I need in order to connect that?

    I am not familiar with this new mini-DVI to HDMI cable. Sounds interesting. There is a Mac user reporting an issue in trying to use one of these in the Intel-based iMac display forum. He is using a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter and an HDMI to HDMI cable plugged into a HDMI port on his plasma TV and nothing is happening. But he is also reporting the same issue with mini-DVI to VGA adapter and an VGA to VGA cable plugged into the VGA port on his plasma TV. So the problem may not involve this mini-DVI to HDMI adapter.
    I use Apple's mini-DVI to DVI adapter connected to a Belkin DVI to HDMI cable plugged into the HDMI port on my LG LCD HDTV with great success with my new Early 2009 Mac mini. The Apple mini-DVI to DVI adapter came with my Mac mini and I bought the Belkin DVI to HDMI cable at the Apple Store when I bought the Mac mini. Both are also available from the Apple Store online for US$19 each.
    The MacBook Pro has a mini-DisplayPort. Apple also has a mini-DisplayPort to DVI adapter for US$29. So that could also connect with the Belkin DVI to HDMI cable.
    I did Google for a mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and there are a few 3rd party venders of this adapter as well.

  • My new Macbook air won't connect to my Vizio HDTV.

    My new Macbook Air won't connect to my Vizio VO32LF HDTV.  I bought a mini-displayport to HDMI cable to connect the two.  When I connect the cable, and switch to the appropriate HDMI input on the TV, my Macbook Air screen will flash blue for a second, and then return to normal.  The TV reports it's unable to find a signal.  I use the HDTV as my primary monitor, so I'd really appreciate some help on getting the two to place nicely together!

    Cp,
    Thanks for the reply. However, it appears that the issue is not with the hotspot, but with the network settings in the MacBook Air as every other device I have (including non-Apple devices) will connect to the iPhone hotspot. Another symptom is that my MacBook Air can find my iMac (and other network devices) on my wireless network, but the iMac can't find the MacBook Air.

  • I want to daisy chain my 15 inch mid 2012 non retina macbook pro to a 2012 27inch imac and then to a 27 inch thunderbolt display

    I have a mid 2012 non retina 15inch macbook pro, and a 27inch 2012 imac, and a 27inch thunderbolt dsplay and I want to use the imac and the thunderbolt display as dual monitors for my macbook pro and daisy chain them together.  I have an extra thunderbolt cable,  How would I go about doing this,  every time I try to connect it via Target Display mode it only shows up on the imac and the thunderbolt diplay shows the imac screen but I cannot access anything on it. I would love some help,  I am probably just missing something simple.

    Yes there is on Mac computers that do not come from the factory with "Built In", Note the Words Built In, DVD drive.
    On all Mac computers that come with Built In DVD drive Apple has Restricted the installation of Windows from ONLY That Built In drive and Only when it is Physically installed inside the system.
    Many people have tried what you want to do and to my knowledge None have been successful.
    It is something that is Hard Wired, Written, into the Firmware of these Mac computers.
    Some have tried installing Windows on the standard HDD and then moving that HDD to the optical bay or leaving it in the main bay and installing a SSD into either the main drive bay or optical bay and have been greeted with the system not booting to either OS or not booting to Windows.
    Something about how boot camp sets up the drive and possibly makes changes to the Firmware or EFI partition on the drive that Windows is installed to or to both that restrict it. You can't even make another Mac OS X partition on that drive without screwing up the Windows install.
    To your last post the Answer is NO as stated above.
