Network PS3 and iMac

Hello, I have just connected a PS3 to my Airport Extreme via the WiFi. I have internet access w/ PS3. Is it possible to access/open/play digital movie files from my iMac w/ PS3? (ie. See/access an iMac file/digital movie on TV screen, and play that movie on TV thru PS3 setup)

Hi, I would think so.
Have you enable File Sharing on the Mac & setup who can connect?

PS3 AND IMAC

Hi all, I just bought a new 20" imac about a month ago,I am not mac savvy at all, im totally confused by most of this new stuff but I'm slowly learning. My question is this, What do i need to do i.e.: buy and how to install, to get my ps3 to work wirelessly ? Thanks in advance.

The simplest, and most economical way would be to get a Wireless Access Point (WAP) and connect this directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the D-Link router. An example of a WAP is the Linksys WAP54G.

Networking MacBook and iMac

I have gotten my MacBook into the iMac Network, but can't transfer or share files. If I drag a file into the MacBook , I get a window that asks to "Select the volumes to mount" and the choises are all ghosted, I can't do anything with this window. Can i create a MacBook Dropbox on the iMac? Or how do I transfer files. They're connected via firewire. Thanks, JM

Bob, thanks for your interest. When I went into Sharing on the iMac, and enabled Personal File Sharing, with a computer name of "karen"(it's my wife's iMac) it put "karen" into the Network, and created a Public folder which contained a Dropbox. With this I can drag files to the dropbox, and retrieve them on the MacBook. However, when I do the same in Sharing on the MacBook, no Public folder and Dropbox appear. So, so far I can't transfer files from MacBook to iMac. Any help is appreciated. Jim

Networking iBook and iMac problem?

I connect both computers with LAN cable on the Ethernet ports. Then I turn on File Sharing on both computers, then I Go and Connect to Server. Yet, they don't see each other! The iBook is using Panther 10.3.9 and I gave the computers names too. This is my first time trying to connect two computers. Whats the problem? Ant tips will be welcome.
Thanks!
Luis

On each Mac go to System Preferences > Network and make sure AppleTalk is switched on on the Ethernet port.

Whats a faster internet connection joining one or create one.i have one ps3 i imac 2 ipads and one macbook pro?

For the AirPort Extreme Base Station to provide Internet access to network clients, it would need to be configured for: 1) Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address, and 2) Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network.
Although the option: Wireless Mode = Join a wireless network, exists for the Extreme, it really serves no purpose and should not be used.

How can I avoid syncing network preferences between iPhone and iMac (mini) ?

In my current setup, my iMac mini and iPhone synchronise the WIFI networks that I joined on my Phone. I would like to turn this feature off. I want my iMac to always connect to the same network. I would like to keep using the other iCloud services though (Mail, Calendar, Etc...)
Can anyone point me to the settings or configuration steps to either fix the wifi network on an iMAc or to switch this feature off in iCloud?
Background:
I run Yosemite 10.10.1 on an iMac mini and IOS 8.0.2 on my iPhone 5S
What I tried:
Manually removed the irrelevant networks from the wifi list under System Preferences... | Network | Advanced...
Did not work, Networks got included in the list again once I join them on my iPhone.

Just download the updates via iTunes on your Mac and then sync your iPhone to update them.
You cannot simply create a Wi-Fi connection between your computer and your iPhone, you must have a Wi-Fi router or access point to connect to.

I've got a wireless network with one iMac and a Vista PC, on the Vista PC is through USB a printer connected. How can i print from my iMac to that particular printer ?

You need to turn on Printer Sharing on both the PC and OS X. I can't help you on Vista but in OS X it's System Preferences - Sharing - check the Printer Sharing box.

How do i set a peer to peer network between my iMac and windows machines?

I want to set up a peer to peer network between my iMac and Windows based computers in my house. I also want it to a wireless set up. Mostly being done to share videos, pictures, and music. Any insight would be appreciated.

I'm trying to connect my MacBook Pro to Wifi using internet sharing
Why?
Just connect the MacBook to the same internet as your iMac.
MacBook > Wi-Fi router > Internet.
You are connected to the internet with your iMac.
iMac > Wi-Fi router > Internet
Why do you want to go MacBook (via Wi-Fi) > iMac > Wi-Fi router > Internet?

What are you trying to accomplish?
You can only connect your phone to your MAC for tethering only.

My Time Capsule's 5GHz network does not appear as a network any longer. Airport utility is 5.5.3 and iMAC is 10.7.1 The TC appears to be configured correctly in the utility screen.

My Time Capsule's, only the 5GHz network, does not appear as a network any longer. Airport utility is 5.5.3 and iMAC is 10.7.1 The TC appears to be configured correctly in the utility screen. This began sometime after upgrade to 10.7.1 however this does not explain why either of my iPAD's does not see the 5GHz network.

Wish some Apple folks would chime in...
Apple is not here. Even if they might rarely monitor these boards, they will not respond. We're all users, just like you.
Suggest that you open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utiltiies > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the icons
Click the Wireless Options button
Check one more time to see if you still have the 5 GHz Name option enabled. If not, enter a check mark and click Update to save the new settings.
If 5 GHz is enabled, temporarily disable the setting and Update. Then go back in and enable the setting again.
If you still cannot "see" the network from any device, about all that you can do at this point is reset the Time Capsule back to factory defaults and try the configuration again to see if it will "take". Lion is causing some strange issues, and this may be another.
If this is not successful, then it's time to contact Apple support or arrange a visit to an Apple store to let them take a look

Networking windows 7 and iMac Mountaijn Lion

We have a Windows pc and a Windows Laptop both running Windows 7. And an iMac running Mountain Lion.
I have set up my network Workgroup and can browse the Internet. From the Mac i can access the two windows pcs and read ad write info. Howevever, when I try to access my Mac I cannot and get the message "access is denied".
Has anyone any ideas what I should have done. I have chosen sharing in my Mac and Windows pc's in the network and sharing centre. I think the problm may be with the Mac set up.
I would be grateful to anyone who has had the same problem who could help me to resolve this issue.

By default the Mac is configured to share with other Mac's only. To allow Windows to interact with the Mac, you need to enable Windows sharing.
On the Mac, open System Preferences and select Sharing. Then select File Sharing and then press the Options button. Here you will see that Apple File Sharing is enabled. You will also see Windows Sharing. Enable this and then also enable the user name in the Accounts section. This name is what you use on the Windows computer when you are prompted to authenticate after selecting the shared folder on the Mac.
With the Windows sharing enabled you can then browse for the shared folder on the PC and authenticated when prompted.

I have working Netgear network. Want to add new Time Capsule and run 2nd network for new apple TV and Imac, and keep the netgear network for my PC and Canon printer.

I have working Netgear N600 dual band router network. The existing network has an XP netbook PC, canon printer, 2 Iphones, Epson Air printer, an Ipad, 3 roku boxes, backup drive. Just bought a new Apple TV box, and time capsule 2T. I have an IMac on order but don't have it here yet.
My goal is to add new Time Capsule and create 2nd "apple" network for new apple TV, Iphones, Ipad, Epson Air printer and new Imac, and keep the netgear network for my PC, Roku TV boxes, and Canon printer and backup drive.
The Netgear router, the time capsule and new IMac will be on the same desktop, I dont need to backup my netbook PC to time capsule.
Where do I start?
Which device connects to my modem first, the TC2 or the Netgear?
Is it best wait for the Imac before starting or can the TC2 be set up from my Ipad or PC?
Thanks.

It is pretty simple..
Setup the TC in bridge and plug it into the Netgear.. I would leave the netgear as the main router for now, although in the future you can swap things around. The netgear firmware may have issues with bonjour and airplay/airprint?? Does your ipad print ok now?
You can setup the TC using Mac, PC (at least up to win7) or iOS.. they all have airport utility available.
Bridge mode is set differently depending on the version of the utility. This is v5 and how the windows one will look (at least similar to).
v6 will be as
With the TC in bridge you will still create a wireless network.. and give it a different name from the netgear.. then all the apple devices can connect to it. Use ethernet rather than wireless if the imac is on the desktop with it. Much faster and better for using Time Machine backups.
If you run into any issues.. just post the particular issue. It will take a bit of getting used to, but isn't hard.

HT4628 My Wi-Fi connection on my iMac drops frequently. The other computers in the house do not have this problem. If I go into the Network Preferences and choose my Network it connects immediately but it does not remember the setting.

My Wi-Fi connection on my iMac drops frequently. The other computers in the house do not have this problem. If I go into the Network Preferences and choose my Network it connects immediately but it does not remember the setting and I must reselect my network frequently.

The iMac picks up a wireless signal from the back of the screen, so you would want to avoid having it close to a wall, or in a confined area where the wireless signal cannot easily reach the iMac's antenna.
We don't know how far the iMac is from your wireless router, or how many walls or other obstructions might be in the signal path that would limit the quality of signal that the iMac receives.
Nor do we know whether you might have a cordless phone near the iMac, or whether you may be using a wireless keyboard and/or mouse....all of which can interfere with the wireless signal.
Can you provide some more info on this?
