Networking PC's to MAC

From my MAC, I can see the networked PC,s and all info on them. However, when I try to see the MAC from a PC, It asks for a username and password. I have entered every username on the MAC, and combinations of passwords, and it always comes back "incorrect username or password". What username is it looking for? How can I set this to what I would like it to be?

This may be of assistance

How do i create a little network with my i-mac and macbook

how do i create a little network with my i-mac and macbook

Hello:
To give a sensible answer, a little more information is needed.
I am guessing that you want to set up a wireless network as you have both a desktop and laptop.
There are some pretty good tutorials/articles in the knowledge base articles.

Using a network-stored catalog with Mac OSX

Greetings all.
I am using Photoshop Elements 11 on Mac OSX Mountain Lion and want to store my catalog on a local network drive (FreeNAS). I have encountered many problems while attempting to do this. Then I noticed in the Elements Organizer help, under the section "Repair a catalog", the following: "Note: (Mac OS) You cannot access catalogs present on a network drive."
Is this true. or has someone found a workaround to the problem?
Thanks!
--John

Thanks, for that ( I assume we have to carry on in English due to forum policy even though we are both of German tongue I assume)
You mean the access problems are part of the "no network drive" thing? I suspected that. Took me a whole day in front of my computer to realign the mess. So should one better not use the network drives at all? Quite a pity in times where everybody seems to use network storage.
No, I did not use organizer to use the photos. So there is no way to reconnect them? Should I delete the catalogue and start with the photos from scratch?
Regards

Well, yes, these are part of the "no network drive" thing.
As for moving the photos, did you use organizer to move them? You will always have trouble if you move photos outside of organizer, even on the same drive--you have to let it manage your photos or it doesn't have a clue as to what happened.

I have a G5 mac using ver 10.4.11 and a newer mac using ver 10.8.4 these are networked. using the new mac i looked up my my photo on the old mac. It then said you need to upgrade your library which it did. Now the old mac can not open the photos

I have a G5 mac using ver 10.4.11 and a newer mac using ver 10.8.4 these are networked. using the new mac i looked up my my photo on the old mac. It then said you need to upgrade your library which it did. Now the old mac can not open the photos and say that I need to upgrade my I photo to a newer version. The old mac has no more support from apple in software update so I am not sure where I should go from here. can I use new soft ware with the old mac

The other part of the upgrade message was a warning that once you upgraded you would no longer be able to open the library with the old version which is exaclty what you did and what happened when you choose to continue
The iphoto library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iphoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library. Cancel or upgrade.
So now your choices are to not use iPhoto with the previous version using it onky with the newer version, restore your backup from before you did this upgrade or purchase iPhoto Library Manager and use it to rebuild the library using the older version of iPhoto (instructions are on their web site) thereby downgrading it (without projects)

Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network

Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network.
My Mac runs lion and the windows desktop runs Windows XP
I have tried for a few hours or so to connect my mac to this printer over a home network.
For your information it does work when connected directly to my mac using a USB Cable.
If there is no soultion could I have help getting the drivers for a Dell All-in-One Photo 926

In most cases you can connect to the Windows shared printer from the Mac. But there is a dependence on the Mac driver being compatible. For many consumer inkjets, the vendor created driver cannot be used for this type of connection so you need to look at alternative drivers, such as Gutenprint or PrintFab. If you can tell us which brand and model of printer you have shared from Windows then we can answer your question with the preferred procedure on the Mac.

Network Drive and 3 Macs- trying to share music

Help
I want to reconfigure my music storage the right way to avoid the problems I'm having
My set up: 3 Macs and one large network drive
Mac mirror door (non-intel)
iMac (intel)
Mac Mini (Intel)
1 terabyte (RAID 5) Snapserver network drive
I am hoping to store all of the music on the network drive, let each Mac "point" to the music and not load music files onto each mac
When I use the advanced preferences and share the same folder with all music I am getting duplicates every time
All three mac local itunes libraries are a mess with lots of duplicates
Do you have a solution?
Would Library Manager and/or Dupin help me??
I am willing to reload/ move music, etc. I just want to do it right.
Thanks in advance
Mike

You can't. The only way to get songs in the Music app is to sync from a computer or to download from iTunes.

Can I share my iCal across a network or only thro' .Mac?

Can I share my iCal across a network or only thro' .Mac? If so, how?

I don't think there's a way to share a calendar over a local network, but if you have your own non-.Mac webspace on the Internet, you can publish an iCal calendar to it rather than .Mac. To do this, open iCal and select Publish from the Calendar menu. In the dialog box that pops up, change the Publish On drop-down menu to "a private server" and put in whatever your password is to access the server.

After loading yosemite can't get permissions from any network PC - OK from MACs on network...any advice?

after loading yosemite can't get permissions from any network PC - OK from MACs on network...any advice?

would love to...way over my head so far...upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 - I have another MAC (motorola chipset...maybe 10.6?) and 3 PCs on the network...the older MAC linked up through the network just fine...
I can see the Yosemite MAC on the PCs...I can open customer file folders (I am a printer) from the shared drive...I can drag files (let's just call them PDFs, they mostly are) to the MAC customer file...but if I try to open them from the PC I get an error message that says permission denied - or may be in use by another user. There are no other users. After I uploaded to Yosemite, I noticed most if not all drives and or folders had permissions changed to either no access or to read only...I've changed as many as I could find...drives, and folders...I can open those same files if I'm on the yosemite mac...Here's the catch, though...I was on a different floor and that PC can open a PDF on the Yosemite...but the RIP that prints our large format prints now won't print those files (whole RIP locks up) unless they are first dragged to the PC desktop...then all is fine. I thought it was MAC upgrade oriented, but I do have a PC that halfway works...I'm really stymied...

Network Topology: Internet to Mac to Router?

If one wants uses a Mac to connect to a WiFi modem, turns on Internet Sharing to share the connection over Ethernet, and then connects an Ethernet cable to a router, should the router be in bridge mode? I don't have specifics because I'm inquiring on behalf of someone else.
I was just hoping someone who knew could send a couple pointers my way.
Many thanks in advance.

In general your life will be much, much easier with fewer devices running NAT.
In most cases the router that connects to your ISP runs NAT to link the public internet to your private LAN (typically a 192.168.x.x network).
Now you're extending your network by using your Mac to link this network to another network. You do this by running NAT.
If you add a wireless access point to the internal-internal network and you set it to also run NAT you're triple-NATting your network - one NAT at your ISP's router, one NAT on the Mac and another NAT on the wireless base station. ick, ick, ick.
Given your question I would absolutely run the base station in bridge mode to act as a simple link between the wired and wireless clients. This will eliminate one level of NAT. You can do it the other way but there's absolutely no advantage and it just serves to complicate the setup.
However, I have to ask why you don't set the wireless router as the first device (connected to your ISP) and have that run a single NAT for the entire network. That would seem to be the simplest solution all around.

IPad 2, iPhone4 will not connect to wifi network. However, my Mac desktop connects perfectly. I can't figure out why?

Hi, I cannot get my iPad 2, iPhone4 (nor husbands HTC One) to connect to my wifi network. However, my Mac desktop connects perfectly. On the other devices I just get an error message saying that Safari cannot connect to the internet. This has been going on for a few days so I've tried all the fixes I can find on the web (restarting modem/router, forgetting netork settings, etc), but nothing seems to work. I've done all the latest updates on my devices. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Hello Csmo2013,
Since multiple devices from different manufacturers are having the same issue, I think it would be a good idea to test the mobile devices on a different network to see if they work. That way you can isolate the issue to being with the router/modem or not. I see you have already restarted the router/modem, and forgot the network settings on the devices, but allow me to offer this article for assistance.

TS1398 just purchased a new iPad. it won't link to my WiFi network.   The network is fine, my Mac links to the network as does my PC. What to do?

just purchased a new iPad. it won't link to my WiFi network.   The network is fine, my Mac links to the network as does my PC. What to do?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

How to REBOOT the Network without rebooting the Mac?

Is there a way (perhaps with Terminal) to reboot the Network without rebooting the Mac.
Sometimes after rebooting the ADSL2+ Router (Comtrend CT-536+) from a web browser pointed to http://192.168.1.1 the router reboots but the Ethernet connection to it gets stuck. The System Preferences Network Built-in Ethernet shows orange instead of green and there is no connection to the Internet. I must reboot the Mac to get out of it but I wonder if there is other way to refresh or reboot the Network without requiring a full Mac rebooting.
Thanks.

I'd try setting up a duplicate Location/Connection in System Preferences> Network... slightly different name, then if it gets stuck try switching to the other Location in Network, then hit the Apply button.

Having trouble setting up an Ad Hoc network with both iOS, Mac OS, and Windows.

So I'm skiing with some friends but we forgot to bring a router with us. The lodge internet is passable but we only have one ethernet connection. My friend connected his (windows) laptop to the ethernet and set up an Ad-Hoc network. The problem is that only Mac OS and iOS devices are able to connect to the network and use the internet. The windows machines and Droid devices can't connect or in some cases they can connect they can't use the internet.
My question is what special wizardry allows Mac OS and iOS to work fine on the ad hoc network but not the other platforms? Is there something I can do to get the other machines to connect to the network? Would things work better if I hosted the Ad Hoc network? Thanks for all the help.

Hi Munkiez, and a warm welcome to the forums!
See if this helps about halfway down is Wifi/Airport.

Need help with network user accounts on Mac server App on Yosemite, any tips?

I've been trying to set up a small network with the Server app on Yosemite. I don't want to do anything crazy with the server, I'd just like to know how I can set up network user accounts so that they can login from other Mac computers on the same network. I already have Open directory set up, the Macs that will be used on the network with the server have already been joined to the server under login options. I have created the network user account, I have also joined the user account to a group that I created. When I try to login to the network account from one of the Macs, it doesn't work. I'm pretty rookie with Mac server, can anyway give me any pointers of what I should be doing? Or if I am doing something wrong. Thanks guys.

The most important step, once you've got Open Directory and DNS set up, with Local Network Users set up in Server.app, is to make sure that all client Macs are using the server's IP address as the primary DNS server in System Preferences > Network, and that they have joined the Network server in System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Options.
Having said all that, I have just spent hours setting this all up only to find out that Mail doesn't currently work with Network Homes in 10.10.3 / Server.app 4.1.
I will be hoping that Apple recognise the bug, and put out a fix soon.

Slow WiFi only on home network and only on Mac

I have a 2010 MacBook Pro and internet downloads and especially viewing any videos (like youtube) are painfully slow at home. Videos basically load for a few minutes, play about 5 seconds of video, then load for a few more minutes. I know it is not the actual computer, b/c if I connect to another network elsewhere everything runs fine and fast. Also, it can't totally be my network since we have a few PC's on the same home network that are significantly faster with downloads. Things that take 20 seconds on my PC's take up to 10 minutes or more on the MacBook. Are there settings somewhere that I have wrong? Thanks, -Amy

So the RSSI and Transmit look okay (the speed 54 indicates a wireless G router). So your new Mac Book can run on wireless N protocal which is faster, so a thought for the future is an upgrade to a new router (which might solve all your problems). When I experienced much of what you are seeing, eventually I traced this to the WiFi router and got a new Airport express with N capability. I could have tried patching the router (mine was Netgear) but the added speed of the N standard pushed me onto a new router. My work PC's seemed to work okay on my old system and work great on the new Apple router.
But if you can see the other networks and find channel 6 or 11 completely open I would recommend changing the Linksys router to one of those channels and seeing if anything improves. These channels have no overlap in frequency with each other, but are also the most popular. If these are taken it still would be worth a try. Other interferences such as cordless phones and microwave ovens and the like will also affect G protocol wireless so moving the channel helps skip around them as well.
Before you make a change I suggest going to www.speedtest.net to verify your current performance. Maybe do this once in awhile for a day or so to get a measure of your current best and worst performance. This is a java applet that sends some packets to a local server and reads some down. It gives you a speedometer interface that gives you a Ping value (time for one packet to go between computers, should be in the 10 to 30 millisecond range) and then an upload speed and download speed. The web site actually keeps track of your speed values by date and time so you can review them as you make changes.
I would pick the recommended server. They select one near by but not at Comcast. So this test looks at your service between Comcast and the world. Comcast actually has a localized version of this same program www.speedtest.comcast.net, and so it can test your speeds within your own network - basically to Comcast and back. So this tests your line to Comcast.
Do this testing with your laptop connected by wire to your router (so this tests your speed without the WiFi) and then connecting to the internet via the WiFi. Without the WiFi and directly to Comcast's version of speed test, you should get the speed you are paying for from Comcast. The wired test to the speedtest.net suggested server gives you a more real world speed.
Once you have these base lines then change wifi channels and see if that helps.

Can't reach network video server on Mac Mini's USB Ethernet Adapter.

I am trying to connect an IP video server to my Mac Mini's USB>Ethernet adapter. The server works fine on the built in Ethernet "en(0)", but is unreachable on the USB>Ethernet adapter network"en(3)".
Is this a subnet issue? I don't know much about networking obviously, but I think I just need to find a way to designate the proper port to look on, because the Mac is looking on the built in Ethernet only when I specify http://192.168.0.90:80/
The en(3) is configured for DCHP.
I could just hook the server up to the built in Ethernet, but then I'll have to run new and very long cat 5 cable.
I'd love to hear any ideas on how to get this working.

The Network Settings for the USB>Ethernet port are:
IPv4: Using DHCP
IP Address 169.254.33.152
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Router: (none)
DNS Server: (none)
Search Domains: (none)
