Networking mac 10.39 to windows XP

I am running mac os 10.39 and can connect to my pc running windows XP. I can see all of the files on the pc from the mac when connected. However when I try to copy files from mac to pc it shows
'a server you are using is no longer available. Do you want to continue trying to contact it?'
it then gives you the option to disconnect or continue trying. if you disconnect an error -36 appears
any help will by much appreciated
thanks

I'm not sure if this would cause the error message you're getting but is the XP share folder configured to allow Read-write access?
Also, you can see the files on the XP machine from your Mac. Can you drag them from the XP folder to a folder on your Mac without receiving the error?

  • Networking Mac and Windows

    Networking between my Mac Pro and a Windows 8 machine was working fine. Bought a new router: Netgear Prosafe FVS318G.  Now the two machines won't connect. I checked the settings in the router and they are as advised by the Netgear manual.
    Both machines connect to the internet fine. Advice?

    Hi Jbiedlin,
    I think that I have found some articles that might help you with your connection problems. First is a basic article about Networking with a Windows PC. It goes through step by step different ways of communicating with a PC. The other is about File Sharing with Different OS. There are tons of articles on the Apple Knowledge Base that will help. You can connect many ways to a PC, from ethernet to FTP server.
    I hope that helps,
    Jon

  • Networking Mac Pro with Windows 7

    I have been trying to network my PC that has windows 7 home edition on it with my Mac Pro snow leopard. The mac can not see the windows machine, and the windows machine can not access the mac. They are on the same network (apple extreme wireless router.) Before I got the windows machine, I had a dell with windows XP on it and it worked fine, but as soon as I got this new windows machine with windows 7, it does not work. Has anyone run into this problem? anyone know of a fix?
    Thanks

    well...i have the same problem.
    since my mac (running snow leopard) isn't able to see the windows 7 pc neither, i'm only able to connect to my pc thru "go" -> "connect to network" and then entering smb://"ip-adress" . not very elegant but at least it works....
    any better solutions??
    thanks!!

  • Can't network Mac with W7 Ultimate 64 bit (but W7Pro32 and WXP work)

    Hi all,
    I posted a long (probably too long) issue recently but despite nearly 200 people viewing it, no-one offered a solution. So I am re-posting a shorter, clearer statement here but below I also enclose the long full diagnostic information (at the bottom).
    At home we have 4 computers: a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.7, a Windows XP desktop machine, a Windows 7 Professional 32-bit laptop, and a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit workstation. As a result of my extensive experimentation and testing I found that:
    - Networking and sharing drives between the Macbook and the XP machine worked fine in both directions
    - Ditto for the Windows 7 Professional 32-bit laptop - everything "just worked" exactly as it should
    - However the Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit machine simply would not work from the Mac to the PC (I was however able to access the PC from the Mac)
    - All PCs were of course able to inter-operate in both directions across the network with each other
    My conclusion therefore is that the Mac is set up and working correctly, there are no connectivity problems, and almost certainly this is an issue relating either to 64-bit W7 (versus 32-bit) or it's an issue relating to "Ultimate" versus "Professional" (or both). I have not 'fiddled' with anything, the only setting changes made which could be considered low-level were the 'secpol' change on the W7x64 machine which I read in many posts might solve the issue (it didn't).
    I am not a technical expert although I have some ancient history in the field. I just want it to work. Everything I read tells me that it should - now Windows and Mac both use SMB, etc etc. But it doesnt.
    Absolutely desperate to get this solved quickly now. I would even happily have paid someone, but finding an expert in Switzerland who can come to the house, speak English fluently plus (of course) be fluent in Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Mac... it's proved to be a test too far. So if anyone out there can help... thank you in advance.

    ORIGINAL DIAGNOSTIC DETAILS
    CONCLUSIONS
    There appears to be a fundamental compatibility problem between Mac OS X and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
    The problem actually appears to have a degree of randomness / instability about it (see below when, during diagnostics, the workstation actually disappeared, then reappeared!).
    I can only presume this issue relates in some way to the “enhancements” either related to Ultimate versus Professional, or to 64-bit versus 32-bit variants.
    At the moment there is only one solution I am confident would work, which is to revert my workstation to 32-bit… however this is not an option for me as it would render around 21GB of RAM unusable and remove the whole raison-d’etre for purchasing a powerful workstation in the first place.
    I am therefore stuck and in need of help!
    PRECONDITIONS
    In all cases I am using connectivity between three different PCs and a Macbook Pro 2.53GHz Intel Core Duo, 4GB RAM, Mac OS X running version 10.7 (Lion). BTW I know Lion is new but it was exactly the same with 10.6.
    I have three PCs: an XP Pro machine, a W7 Pro 32bit machine and a W7 Ult 64bit machine.
    All three PCs are running the same antivirus and firewall (Norton Internet Security 2011), this was left ON for all tests on all machines.
    I have already been through all the myriad of advise on this subject: as you can see from the below, file sharing etc has all been enabled. The “secpol” changes etc have also been made on the W7 Ult 64bit machine only (but these were only made because it didn’t work without the changes and everyone seemed to think this was needed).
    All my Windows computers are configured to workgroup “WILF” and also set this Workgroup name on the Mac in the WINS settings dialogue. No homegroup exists on the network.
    No other “tinkering” has taken place. Although I have some tech skills, I am just a bloke who wants to use his computers, not a computer genius. As such the Tosh laptop is pretty much fresh out of the box, the Mac has nothing non-standard and the only setting change is the WINS setting for the Workgroup name. The workstation is a little over a year old so but I have not poked around with anything deep inside it, so if there is anything wrong it should be superficial – the kind of thing a basic user could have changed by mistake and can easily be changed back.
    DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
    Connecting between Macbook and old Windows XP machine (XP Pro 2002 SP3):
    -        Open ‘Finder’ on Mac, PC immediately visible under ‘Shared’.
    -        From Mac: Single click on PC icon indicated “Connecting” then “Connect as Guest”, opens a list of all shared and public folders. Am able to copy files from Mac to PC, am able to copy files from PC to Mac.
    -        From PC: Opening “My Network Places” and clicking on “View Workgroup Computers” shows all my networked computers including the Mac, double-clicking the Macbook icon opens a list of all shared and public folders. Am able to copy files from Mac to PC, am able to copy files from PC to Mac.
    -        In short: this appears to work as it should.
    Connecting between Macbook and new Windows 7 machine (W7 Pro 32-bit 2009 edition, Tosh laptop w/ Intel Core i7 M620 @ 2.67GHz, 4GB RAM):
    -        Open ‘Finder’ on Mac, PC immediately visible under ‘Shared’.
    -        From Mac: Single click on PC icon indicated “Connecting” then “Connect as Guest”, opens a list of all shared and public folders. Am able to copy files from Mac to PC, am able to copy files from PC to Mac.
    -        From PC: Opening “Windows Explorer” and single-clicking on “Network” shows all my networked computers including the Mac. This time I decided to try logging into the Mac drives as me, rather than as a guest:
    Double-clicking the Mac icon opens up the ID / Password dialogue box.
    Inputting my correct username and password for the Mac immediately opened up all the folders on the Mac I have access to (the shared / public folders but also the folders for my login account on the Mac).
    Am able to copy files from Mac to PC, am able to copy files from PC to Mac.
    -        In short: this appears to work as it should.
    Connecting between Macbook and fairly new Windows 7 workstation (W7 Ultimate 64-bit  2009 edition SP1, Supermicro workstation w/ 2 x Intel Xeon W5590 @ 3.33GHz, 24GB  RAM):
    -        Open ‘Finder’ on Mac, PC WAS INITALLY  immediately visible under ‘Shared’… however while carrying out the testing for the XP machine and the laptop, it has disappeared! The other two machines remain visible.
    STOP PRESS: It reappeared… for how long, is anyone’s guess…
    -        From Mac: A single click on PC icon almost instantaneously indicates “Connection Failed”. Repeated attempts produce the exact same result. To verify the basics some elementary diagnostics:
    Mac IP address 192.168.0.11 can be successfully pinged from the PC.
    PC IP address 192.168.0.3 can be successfully pinged from the Mac.
    From PC entering comment “ping MACBOOKPRO-598A” (the latter being the computer name of my Macbook) works successfully i.e. name resolved OK, no packet loss, 1ms round trip.
    From Mac unable to run the reciprocal ping test for EITHER PC since I don’t know what to put into Ping to allow it to resolve the computer names.
    However I note that all 3 Windows machines remain visible in the Finder, only the two which work (the XP machine and the W7 32bit laptop) have the “Eject” symbol next to them and they are still the only two which work both ways without problem.
    In the Finder window after clicking on the PC icon in the left column, I get another instance of this icon in the next column with “Connect As” underneath and presently “Connection Failed”. If I click on “Connect As” I receive the error “There was a problem connecting to the server ‘alastair-ws’ (which is the PC name of the workstation).
    Finally if I use the GO -> Connect to Server option in Finder, using SMB://alastair-ws I receive the same error as above. I get EXACTLY the same error if I use the IP address of the workstation 192.168.0.3 as above.
    -        From PC: Opening “Windows Explorer” and single-clicking on “Network” shows all my networked computers including the Mac. Again I decided to try logging into the Mac drives as me, rather than as a guest:
    Double-clicking the Mac icon opens up the ID / Password dialogue box.
    Inputting my correct username and password for the Mac immediately opened up all the folders on the Mac I have access to (the shared / public folders but also the folders for my login account on the Mac).
    Am able to copy files from Mac to PC, although naturally not the other way around.
    -        Therefore the PC-to-Mac seems to work OK, but the Mac-to-PC does not no matter what I try, although the IP is visible and it’s clear the connectivity exists (or Mac copy onto PC would also not work).
    [END]

    You can give this a try on your Ultimate machine.  While these are said to be for Vista, I used it on my Win 7 machine just fine and it fixed the problems I was having.  Hope it works for you.
    The problem is that Vista, by default, will only use NTLMv2 for authentication, which is not supported by Mac OS X's Windows Sharing service.
    The other problem is the Minimum Session Security for NTVLM SSP based Clients.
    To get around this:
    1.     In Vista, open the Control Panel
    2.     Switch to "Classic" view
    3.     Double-click Administration Tools
    4.     Double-click Local Security Policy
    5.     Or Secpol.msc
    6.     Expand "Local Policies" and select "Security Options"
    7.     Alternate : Type secpol.msc to get editor up then
    8.     Locate "Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication Level" in the list and double-click it.
    9.     Change the setting from "Send NTMLv2 response only" to "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session if negotiated"
    10.     Network Security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP Based (including secure RPC) Clients
    11.     Change the setting from "require 128 bit" to unchecked (No Minimum)
    12.     Click OK
    the real difference between vista and windows 7 procedure is 10 and 11

  • How can I install Mac Mini drivers for Windows 7 32-bit if I didn't install Windows 7 using bootcamp?

    Hello. I have a mac-mini (mid 2010) and with bootcamp, was successfully running XP.
    I then decided to upgraded to Windows 7 had lots of trouble installing it on my existing bootcamp partition.
    I finally was able to install Windows 7, by just booting off the CD and letting it install that way.
    But reading more on it, I think I was supposed to use Bootcamp to do it for me...
    I had thought the Bootcamp Assistant was for only fresh installs of a Windows O.S. where no partitiion existed previously.
    I had a partition so thought Bootcamp wasn't required for my needs.
    But now, inside Windows 7, I have 0 drivers installed. I have an AirPort Express, so on the Mac side, I downloaded
    and installed the Windows version of AirPort Utility and copied it to my USB stick. Then
    I exported my settings to a text file on a USB Stick, then on Windows was able to successfully install AirPort Utility and import the settings.
    But it still doesn't find my network. I am pretty sure I'm broadcasting my SSID...
    So I need to know the following:
    1) How to know I'm broadcasting my SSID - where do I find this in settings?
    2) How I can install my mac-mini drivers on Windows 7 so I can use my existing wireless network, now that I've gone through the installation without using Bootcamp?
    3) Do I need to set up network adapters and all that stuff in Windows 7 first? If so, how and what drivers do I need?
    One other thing I tried was downloading Bootccamp 4.x and installing that on Windows 7 to see if it gives me the drivers that were supposed to be written to my USB stick if I had installed Windows 7 using Bootcamp in the first place... However I think the message it said was that it couldn't install as it was the wrong version. So I'm still stuck without drivers and therefore no internet.
    And that is my main task - getting the Internet up and running in Windows 7.
    Other Info:
    I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8 with 2 GB of memory.
    I installed the 32-bit version of Windows 7 and I don't know what version of Bootcamp I'm running...
    I can tell you that BootCamp Assistant is v3.0.4, but don't know if that means Bootcamp is also 3.0.4.
    Hope you can help.
    Thanks.

    I tried something that worked for me...
    Knowing that after my install of Windows 7 wasn't the correct method (didn't go through bootcamp), and the BootCamp 4.x package wouldn't install under windows 7, I tried reinstalling Bootcamp 4.x in Windows 7 to see what the exact message was it gave me. The message said it couldn't install because of a 32-bit O.S. vs a 64-bit version of the package.
    So that got me thinging - my XP version was 32-bit, and so is my Windows 7 installation. So I tried installing the bootcamp that came with my Mac OS X installation CD. This is bootcamp version 3.1.
    Not only did it install, but it practically took care of everything driver-wise for me. I was then able to see my wireless network, enter my password and I was connected. The only thing else I had to do to get on the Internet was bring IE8 online (guess it ships offline by default). Firewall and Antivirus are now installed, just a few more things to go.
    That's one thing that's just not clear that I'll be sure to note for next time... The Bootcamp packages you download are actually driver packages for Windows. That is where the Windows drivers exists that are necessary to make your Windows 7 PC work on a bootcamp partition!
    I didn't need the AirPoirt Utility at all (at least, I never went into it).
    Thanks VikingOSX for your post. I will not need to follow the steps you provided, but they may help someone else as all of these bootcamp issues I've been reading seem to be very unique per installation.
    Hopefully my solution helps others.

  • Can't connect a Bootcamp Volume to networked Macs

    The question: When adding a Network Place in WindowsXP so that I can connect it to a home networked Mac, what is the correct address statement I should provide for the Add Network Place Wizard? And what should I do on the Mac to enable access? All Mac's use Leopard 10.5.1.
    I am trying to access home networked Macs from a Bootcamp volume on another Mac. (The Bootcamp volume has MacDrive6 installed so that WindowsXP can read MacOSX drives.)
    I have run out of ideas trying to get WindowsXP to access the contents of Macs on the network.
    The Sharing Prefs pane on the Mac tells me to browse for the Mac's computer name, or use computername.local. This prefs pane also advises using afp://IPaddress instead of browsing for computername. Both styles are rejected by Windows so I assume that this advice is only suited to accessing from the MacOS.
    The joy of all this is that Windows DOES see computername when browsing the network but offers no further moves. ie., there is no chance for me to state that this is where I want to go.
    If I use Window's suggested connection language, eg., //computername/share, Windows DOES see the Mac but claims my foldername is invalid. We do get to the point of inserting the admin username and password as required for the Mac. Then I am told, invalid folder. I have tried various versions of the name, long and short, but always the folder is invalid.
    Leopard File Sharing Help says I should enable the SMB protocol. I did. Whatever I try as the SMB address in WindowsXP, it's denied by Windows as an invalid foldername.
    In the File Sharing prefs pane I have also set up, as shared folders, the network Mac's HDD names, home folders, &c. Nothing works.
    Since I used to have no problems with this business, has Leopard somehow messed up?

    *"If I use Window's suggested connection language, eg., //computername/share..."*
    Your slashes are backwards. try \\servername\sharename

  • Firefox (latest versions) on both Mac 10.6 and Windows 7 show "this Connection is Untrusted" on my bank site

    This started for me 1/17/2011 on the savingsbank.com website:
    Firefox (latest versions) on both Mac 10.6 and Windows 7 show "this Connection is Untrusted" on my bank site https://www.savingsbank.com
    NO other browsers - Explorer, Chrome, Safari - give this error box on this site. Please advise if this has to do with the bank site? or Firefox compatibility.
    Saw in a forum someone else having this problem and they were told it had to do with their Date and time being off?? I've been on several computers, all with the correct date and time and they've all shown this Insecure Certificate statement on my bank site with Firefox and no other browser.

    I've looked at the banking site with IE8 and it does NOT show me that "This connection is Untrusted" window. (please see attached screen shot of viewing the site with IE8) It opens fine and has "Identified by Network Solutions" showing on the address bar as it always does.
    The latest version of Opera (not earlier ones) does show a problem with the website's security certificate.
    We've contacted the bank about this, and they say there's no problem with their certificate but are looking into it.
    My question remains, why only Firefox and one version of Opera claim this and NO other browser?

  • Importing itunes to new mac from itunes on windows or windows format ipod

    I just recently purchased a new mac mini and an airport wireless network. I have shared my itunes library with the mac seemlessly from a windows laptop. It is my understanding that I should be able to download my store purchases to the mac, however haven't been able to find that option. My entire library is available on the mac but it requires having to have my windows machine fired up with itunes running in order to access my library. I also have a windows formatted ipod that when plugged into the mac will not let me copy anything into the mac library. I would like to have at least my purchased content accessible on the new mac without having to have my laptop running. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

  • Problems printing to printers connected to a MAC pro from a Windows Laptop

    Folks,
    I got a MAC PRO a couple of weeks ago and I have two USB printers (an EPSON CX 4200 and a CANON S900 connected to it).
    I tried both Ifelix's procedures to add the printers connected to the MAC and I had problems with both procedures.
    If I try the http://mac-ip:631/printers/printer-name I am successful in adding the printer to the Laptop running windows XP however when I try to send something to that printer the job goes straight to the "completed" queue on the MAC and nothing prints at all. I used the respective windows drivers for each printer on the XP Laptop.
    I spent two hours with Apple support on the phone and they could not figure out what was going on and suggested that I post my issue to this forum to see if anybody has any ideas.
    I also tried to configure the printers using Bonjour (as per Ifelix's documented method) but at some point during the printer setup I get an error message indicating that I do not have "sufficient access" to install the printer driver even though I am logged in as admin on the windows XP computer.
    Has abybody experienced similar pain? Is anybody here being able to print to printers connected to a MAC PRO from a Windows XP laptop?
    I should also say that my computers are in a network and both are connected to a Linksys Wireless Access point/router.
    The Laptop is a wireless laptop and the mac pro is conneced to the linksys router via a regular network cable.
    Also, I have no issues printing straight from the mac to both printers.
    Would appreciate any suggestions/comments.
    Thanks in advance for your time.
    regards,
    marcelo

    What risks does that imply?
    Well, it implies that the battery is not user serviceable, which it is not. However, your warranty has already been effectively voided by the spill. So, you don't have that much to lose. As I already said though, there are risks inherent in cleaning any electronic equipment with any sort of liquid. The safer route is definitely to take the machine in for repair, as eww says.
    And for the Q-tips, when I opened the machine, it seemed really complicated to unmount or access parts with Q-tips.
    Unfortunately, it is complicated. It's not something to undertake unless you are comfortable with it. And it can never be guaranteed that it will actually be clean because there are many spaces that you'll never be able to clean. I should perhaps emphasize that I would only clean the machine myself if there was no chance of being able to pay for repairs. It is sort of a last-ditch option to attempt to avoid the cost of repairs. Nothing is guaranteed though and you may have to pay for repairs anyway.
    Wouldn't it be better to just let it bath in the distilled water, wait a few minutes and then let it dry?
    Definitely not. If you do that you can forget about the machine ever working again, at all.
    do you think there is hope that once cleaned, everything would work again ?
    It is doubtful. Like I said, if paying for repairs are not an option, then you should consider at least attempting to clean it. Otherwise, you should have the top case replaced (new keyboard and trackpad).

  • How to share the Mac folder to open windows without password?

    como compartilhar pasta do mac para abrir no windows sem senha?
    how to share the Mac folder to open windows without password?

    No easy way. Unless you use the same username and the same password on both system then you have to enable Windows File Sharing (SMB) in Sharing, add your Mac username and type in your password in the options of Sharing and then set a NetBIOS name and a workgroup name that is the same on both Windows and Mac. That is in the Network section under advanced WINS tab.

  • Trouble setting up Time Capsule on Networked Macs

    I have 2 networked Mac desktop G5's. I am trying to setup Time Machine to backup to an external drive which is connected to the other Mac. The external drive is already setup as a Time Machine disk, and it works fine on the machine where it is plugged in. I would like to be able to use the same drive to setup a Time Capsule and backup the networked Mac.
    I am at work, and we are not allowed to use Airport for security reasons. When I click on Choose Backup Disk and Setup TC, it runs Airport Utility to find Airport. Of course, it can't because Airport is not installed. Help!

    Hi Joan. This might help, however depending on how your network is configured at work, this may not be possible since you have have no control over the networks settings.
    *_Backing Up to A Time Machine Hard Disk Attached to Another Mac_*
    First, this will only work if both Macs are running Leopard (10.5) or Snow Leopard (10.6).
    Open a Finder Window.
    Select the icon of the other Mac in the Sidebar on the left.
    Click “Connect As…” in the toolbar of the window.
    Enter the username and password of THAT Mac.
    Check “Remember password in my Keychain” if you wish to avoid having to enter the password next time.
    Click “Connect”.
    The desired Time Machine disk will now appear in the Finder window. To mount it double-click the blue folder beside the drives name. This will mount it on your desktop.
    Now open Time Machine Preferences and select the drive.
    The countdown timer will start, or you could just select “Back Up Now” from the Time Machine menu.
    Let us know if this resolved your issue. Cheers!

  • Mac print sharing with windows issue...

    I set up a intel iMac to share its printer with a dell laptop. From what i can see in the printer's queue..all the jobs get sent from the laptop to the iMac; however, it doesn't print anything. It seems that windows is sending the print job and the iMac is receiving it but nothing is printing.
