Mounting secondary volumes on a mac from another mac

I have 2 macs on a network. the main one as 3 harddrives, and the secondary one has 1 harddrive. I want to know that if i am on the secondary mac, if i can mount a differterent harddrive on the main computer, than the harddrive that has mac os x installed?

Try installing SharePoints on the primary Mac, and using it to share the external drives.

  • How do I control my mac from another mac not in the same network?

    How do I control my mac from another mac not in the same network? Thanks

    You can do it manually, but it is much simpler if you use a tool such as Back To My Mac, LogMeIn, or something like that. Those programs enable you to connect to your computer through your router without you having to adjust the router settings manually.

    Do you have a home network?
    Personal File Sharing: You can connect Macs on a local network with Tiger’s Personal File Sharing, which allows you to mount folders from the sharing Mac on the master Mac—note that the slave Macs do the sharing; the master Mac doesn’t have to. To turn on Personal File Sharing on the slave Mac, do this:
    Open System Preferences.
    In the System Preferences window, click Sharing.
    In the Sharing pane, click Services.
    In the Select a Service to Change Its Settings list, select the Personal File Sharing checkbox.
    Now that the slave Mac has sharing turned on, you can mount it on the master Mac’s Desktop:
    In the Finder, choose Go -> Network.
    In the Network window, select the sharing Mac.
    Click Connect.
    In the Connect to Server window, click Registered User, enter the user account name and password for the sharing Mac, and then click Connect.
    In the window that appears, select the volume that contains the folder you want to sync with, and then click OK.

  • I need to format my mac from another mac

    I have a macbook and a friend has given me a macbook pro to format mine from the latter.
    My floppy disk drive does not work and I need to make it like that.
    Can someone help me and to explain to me which is the process?
    Thank you very much

    There is no absolute need to isolate Windows from your Mac.
    You do, however, have to protect the Windows side of your computer with antivirus and antimalware software.
    You can decide on the level of integration.
    You can share a specific folder to move files between the two operating systems.
    You can just drag and drop files between OSX and Windows without creating a shared directory.

  • Remote desktop to mac from another mac

    Hi
    I have 24" inch intel iMac and a 15.4" MBP. I am wondering whether there is any way to control iMac from my MBP.
    I am able to use Chicken VNC to control iMac. But it is painful to use. The iMac has 1980x1020 resolution whereas my MBP has 1400x900 I think. It keeps scrolling the screen. It was painful.
    I am looking for something better. Something that is atleast as good as Microsoft remote desktop or Cord.
    What are my options?
    Apple Remote desktop: Is it free?
    I appreciate your help.
    Thanks

    If you're going from Mac to Mac, you don't need to download anything.
    On your source machine (the one you want to control), just go to Sys Prefs -> Sharing and tick "Screen Sharing".
    Then on the target Mac (the one that you will be controlling from), you should be able to see it on your local network. When you connect to it, you should see an option in that window to go to Screen Sharing. Authenticate yourself as the user on the source machine, and you're in! The screen can automatically scale to put the whole of your source screen on your target screen.

  • Is there a way to sign in on your mac from another persons mac

    I was just wondering if anyone new how you could sign into your mac from another persons mac. I seem to remember there being mention of that in the keynote for Lion or Mountain Lion. Do you have to set up a remote desktop thing or is there a basic way to do it? If so how do you do it?
    Thanks,
    Jon

    Yes, but how you do it depends on what it is you wish to do. If you wish to control your Mac from another Mac, use Screen Sharing:

    You can also set up file sharing so you can access the files of your Mac from another Mac:

  • Can I edit a project on one Mac remotely from another Mac?

    As far as I know, you can access and control a Mac from another Mac that is not on the same network, say if you are travelling with a MacBook Air and need to access files and applications on your iMac at home.
    I'm wondering if it's possible to work with Final Cut Pro X in this way. So you could access the project on an iMac from a MacBook Air, see the screen of the iMac and enjoy all the power of the iMac for editing and exporting in FCPX while controlling it from your MacBook Air.
    If so, that would be so convenient, whether it be while travelling or even when at home and wanting to make a quick adjustment to something from the MacBook Air resting on your lap.
    Has anyone here ever done this or know if it's possible?
    Thanks!

    There are ways you can access the iMac and the screen and the software but it's not useable as an editing platform. The response time over the Internet is way, way, way to slow. Plus no keyboard shortcuts work. Everything has to be mouse driven.

  • I'm trying to clone a internal hard drive from another mac using a usb connection.

    I'm trying to clone a internal hard drive from another mac using a usb connection to an external drive so that I don't lose the file before reinstalling the software but I keep on getting a message:
    "Restore Failure
    Source volume is read-write and cannot be unmounted, so it can't be block copied."
    Any advice on how to make a copy of this internal drive?
    Thanks!
    ....also the internal hard drive i am trying to copying run on a mac os x 10.5 and i'm reinstalling the software because the computer is not starting and only shows a grey folder with a question marks inside.

    I've had my Maxtor external OneTouch 250GB for about 18 months now and it hasn't skipped a beat. I have hear of people having their Maxtor drive just up and die but you will probably find that goes for all manufacturers.
    By the way, Maxtor is, amongst others, an OEM supplier to Apple.

  • My new iMac hung up during Transferring from another Mac. How do I restart it?

    My new iMac with fusion drive hung up during transfer from another Mac.  How do I restart it?

    I'm afraid you'll have to power down both, then...
    For the 2 macs...
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • TS2530 When I put a burned cd from one Mac into another Mac, song titles do not show up! I have to enter them manually! My CD player reads the titles that i on the cd; how can I get my Mac to do so?

    When I put a burned cd from one Mac into another Mac, song titles do not show up! I have to enter them manually! My CD player reads the titles that i on the cd; how can I get my Mac to do so?

    The problem is that I burned these CD's myself from music that I added from my personal collection to iTunes. The INFO is ON the CD's (it appears perfectly when I put the CD in my Numark mixer...so I know the info is on the CD), but for some reason, my MAC PRO will NOT read the info on the burned CD when I place the CD into the MAC PRO. The CD was burned on a MAC that I no longer own. But there HAS to be a way to transfer songs from a burned CD with the INFO that is on the CD burned with iTunes.
    PLEASE HELP!

    I think the OP is saying OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mountain Lion and earlier (which should be a link to HT4889) just links back to OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks (HT5872).
    It does indeed do that, & HT4889 seems to be MIA.

  • USB install from another mac?

    Hi, quick one if I may, I am looking to reinstall snow leopard on a new hard drive so my question is can I copy the necessary files from a friends Mac mini onto USB and boot from there? Obviously I'm not going to do this if it's illegal or whatever, thanks in advance

    If you own a retail DVD installer for Snow Leopard 10.6, but do not have an optical drive in your computer, or the internal one has failed, it is possible to use another computer's optical drive to install OS X into a Mac.
    {A copy from another Mac would not be correct or legal, also it likely won't work directly as the Installer puts correct parts into the machine it was installed into, such as hardware drivers, etc. And the disc is a license for one Mac to run it at a time.}
    Under this circumstance, there are a few methods of using another Mac to perform this task; one is Target Disk Mode, if both Macs have FireWire &/or Thunderbolt ports and correct cables. Another is to use a utility in the Mac by the name of 'remote install Mac OS X' in the Utilities folder. There may be other similar means, depending on the version of computer and OS X your system(s) are running.
    If only parts of the system are damaged or missing, you could use Pacifist utility from charlessoft company to extract the parts you need from a system disc, and it will install them from the desktop of the computer that needs them. The utility is a download and has a demo mode that should work adequately for this task.
    You should own the retail DVD 10.6 Snow Leopard, if you have a computer that runs it. The disc (as needed) is proof of the License to use the software. With later computers, the Apple ID and the mac/app store has a record of your activity in regard to permissions of use and end user license.
    Sorry to not be of much help.
    I have antiques & most DVD media for each system.
    And a few clones on external hard disk drives.
    PS: Not sure about the copy to USB recovery idea; later Lion 10.7 and Mt Lion
    had this, I'd seen info about it online. A cloned system, if your computer had one
    could be used to extract or copy parts from. Some don't like drag/drop install.
    Good luck & happy computing!
