My iMac can't see my MBP but my MBP can see my iMac

A network issue? I guess.
Both of my computers have Lion OS; the MBP is brand new and shipped with Lion. I upgraded my late 2009 iMac with Lion recently.
I want to transfer files from one to another.
In Finder - my MBP can see my iMac file stucture - but my MBP doesn't appear in Finder on my iMac.
Is there a simple solution so both computers have "equal eyes"? Now that would be great!
Cheers, Mal

If you have an account on the MBP you should be able to access it via the iMac. Can you log in from the MPB to the iMac? The problem is only from the iMac to the MBP?
First check the settings for File Sharing on the iMac and compare them to the settings in the MBP.
Now in Finder on the iMac you see the MBP in the shared section of the side bar, correct? If you click it you should be on the MBP as guest. Then in the upper right hand corner of the Finder window is the Connect As button. When you select that you get the window asking for your name and password. You have Registered User selected right? The name and password are the name an password for the MBP. If that is all correct you should get logged in.
You could try the Using an Apple ID and use the Apple ID you set for that account on the MBP.
That should work.
good luck

  • My g3 os 9.2.2 is connected to airport router. i can print from my pwerbook but g3 does't see the printer

    my g3 os 9.2.2 is connected to airport router. i can print from my pwerbook but g3 does't see the printer

    Yes, when I bought my powerbook and airport and first set it up the chooser showed the HP 842C printer.
    The printer is connected to the USB on the Airport.
    The PB sees the G3 as a server (2 hard drives).
    Do I need to set up the PB as a server on the G3? How do I do that?
    I've tried Apple share, but when I try to connect to PB address or the name the G3 freezes.

  • I have an imac 2006 running 10.6.8 but I still can't upgrade to Mavericks. Is this model not able to run mavericks or is there a way to download?

    I have an imac 2006 running 10.6.8 but I still can't upgrade to Mavericks. Is this model not able to run mavericks, or is there a way to download? Apple says any imac running snow leopard or later.

    Again, some proof would be nice
    Instead of just making a casual, blanket statement, why don't you just post the actual install procedure here, then.
    Also, the 2006 models really do not have sufficient RAM specs to run Mavericks well.
    So, I seriously question that your 2006 model iMac is running well on Mavericks.
    2006 models could either take 2 or 3 GBs of RAM (you can install 4 GBs of RAM to take advantage of more efficient RAM processing of matched pairs of RAM, but the hardware will only recognize 3.2 to 3.4 GBs of that total RAM). This is barely the needed "real world" "working" minimum of RAM needed for Mavericks to run adaequately.
    New iMacs ship with a much better 8 GBs of RAM.
    If you can't offer/post proof with an actual install procedure for installing Mavericks on unsupported Macs, then I would suggest you stop posting your assertion that
    "I have done it" garbage and post knowledge and info that is REAL and relevant to users of 2006 model Macs that need accurate info about this.

    When the tech set up my new iPad last week, I can get email on IT, but now I can't get email on my Mac laptop.  What's wrong?  Tish

    It could be a POP account which means the first device which accesses the account gets the email unless the settings have been changed. Here are links to show what is involved. It may not mirror your circumstances though.

    My safari can connect to the Internet, but other apps can't. I am using ipad3 wifi edition

    I have managed to resolve it. What I found is I typed in a wrong password when one app loaded. That app gave a misleading network connectivity error. Other apps are connecting fine now.

  • After years of owning all things Mac, I am finally trying to use iChat, and can't get it to work. I see my buddy, but all I can do is send a message--the video and audio chat icons are gray, as is inviting to a video chat under Buddies.

    After years of owning all things Mac, I am finally trying to use iChat, and can't get it to work. I am using gmail, and I see my buddy (no camera icon next to her name), but all I can do is send a message--the video and audio chat icons are gray, as is inviting to a video chat under Buddies. My buddy has the same problem as I.  We are able to do video chat through gmail, but I had hoped to use iChat.  I am using OS 10.6.8, iChat v. 5.0.3.  What am I missing?

    HI,
    iChat will Video chat to another iChat in a Jabber Buddy List (Google run a Jabber server for GoogleTalk)
    However it will not Video to the Web Page login to iGoogle or the Web Mail Page login.  (where people can Google Chat as it were in a  Web Browser).
    Nor does it video to the Google Talk Stand alone app for PCs or any other Jabber apps on any platform.
    iChat uses a connection Process called SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) which is also used by other VoIP devices.
    Jabber/XMPP invited the Jingle Protocol for Jabber Applications.
    Google have included this in their Standalone app and the Plug-in for Web Browsers on both PCs and Mac (you can get this as a Standalone Plug-in or as part of Chrome)
    More on this here  This article has been changed several time in the recent months.  It now claims a greater involvement by Google in writing the Jingle Library (Although now Google's version does not work with the others)
    This tends to mean that using the web Login to Google to Chat also cannot video chat to other Jabber apps that are using Jingle.
    If your Buddy is using iChat then check the Video Menu has two items to Enable Camera/Video chat and Microphone/Audio chats are ticked.
    In the View Menu the Show Status Items should be ticked (Selecting them toggles the tick and the function On or Off)
    It could be Internet speed but at this stage I would doubt this at this stage.

  • TS3367 I can hear my FaceTime ring but I don't see it on my screen. help!

    My brother and mom both have the 4S and I have the iPhone 4. They both tried to call me via FaceTime on 3G but the first time around it was ringing on their end but nothing on mine (nada!) then after I reset my phone, I can hear the FaceTime ring but still nothing on the screen! I had the SMS application open and I could still text and even send messages even if I was technically getting a FaceTime call.

    The app store can't be deleted, maybe you have a 1st gen iPod touch and need to update the software. Go to settings - about and you will see what it is currently running.
    If it its 3.0 or later than you would have the app store, it may just be hidden.
    The past user may have not restored the iPod so you will need to do that before you use it.

  • I can hear people on call but sometimes they can't hear me, it maybe fine for afew mins but then sound drops again? Anyone have this problem and find a solution? Thanks.

    I have an Iphone 4 13.5 GB, iOS 7.1.2. Currently when I make a call or someone calls me, I can hear people on call perfectly but sometimes they can't hear me. It maybe fine for afew mins but then sound drops again? Anyone have this problem and find a solution? Thanks.

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • TS1630 I can't speak into my I phone 3G... I can hear the other person, but they just can't hear me.. Recently I tried to unscrew the bottom of my iPhone, is that maybe the reason? Also, my home or lock botton doesn't work.

    I can't speak into my iPhone 3G. Others can hear me, and I can hear music when I want, but I just can't speak into it. I was recording a video a few days ago and
    I couldn't hear the video, but the image was still on the screen. A while back I tried to unscrew the bottom of my iPhone so I could see the lock button because it wasn't working. Is that maybe the issue?

  • Crystal 2008 can't "see" my tables but Version XI can.

    I bought 2008 and tried to connect through ODBC to a progress databse. The tables that have names which include a dash "-" will not run. I tried version XI and it works fine with my same ODBC connection (.dsn) what can I do to correct this? I bought 2008. Can I rool this back or something?

    Hi David,
    Just try to create the connection with ODBC/ OLEDB with DSN connection and update the connection with the set datasource location and verify that you are able to see the tables in the CR XI version.
    Else create a new connection to the existing one and verify the tables are retrieved or not.
    Let us know if you have any queries.
    Regards,
