Netwroking MAC in a wireless windows environment

I have a new Imac- I am a new apple user. I am wondering if it is possible to print to the printer connected to my HP laptop? My Imac and the HP are on the same wireless network, but when I try to print, all I get is a bunch of blank sheets??

Here's a link to an almost identical problem. Unfortunately there's not a real solution in the discussion but there is a suggestion to take a look at the printer driver : http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread6402.html

How to find MAC Address in Java, Windows Environment

Dear All,
How to find the MAC address of a machine, provided the IPAddress of the machine.
Thnx in advance..

Generally you can't. MAC addresses do not travel through routers.
For computers on your local subnet: connect to the computer somehow so that your computer knows the MAC, then run the command "arp -a" with Runtime.exec() and parse the output.
Or write a program/servlet that runs on the remote computer and returns that computer's MAC (or some of the MACs for computers with several network cards.)

RDP into a windows environment

I am beginning to lose the will to live with my Macbook. Don't get me wrong, I love it, I just run into trouble everytime I try to work within a Windows environment, even for simple stuff such as email and RDP.
Here is the latest comment from the latest company I am trying to work with... Looks like it might be OK, but not without extra effort and cost once again...
The “logging on to external terminal server” works if you connect from a Windows machine but doesn’t connect from Macs. The default connector on a Mac isn’t compatible with the technology we use so we’re just testing out an app called iTap RDP which looks to do what we need it to. There’s some security stuff we need to get done on our side to allow this to work fully though which I hope to get done by tomorrow.
Doe's anyone have some advice on how to make a Mac RDP into a windows environment hassle free.
How about installing windows and something like VM Ware. Just that it's as expensive as buying a laptop, heaven forbid!!

Question of the day: Mac Storage on Windows environment.

Hi there
I have Windows environment (10 Servers & 100 Clients), and small Mac environment (10 Macs Clients without Mac Server) I have problem when Mac users put data on Windows Servers, so IT department decided to find a Mac Storage has the following features:
1-Can format it as HFS+.
2-Can Windows users access it.
3-Can manage it from Windows Server.
4-Can attach it to Tape Driver for backup or has any other backup solution.
5-Has RIAD System.
I know there are many administrators did this scenario (integration Mac Storage with Windows) so please any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Please elaborate on exactly what you mean by "connect to tape driver"
Of course you can use a tape drive with an Xserve. Most drives will require that you add a SCSI card to your Xserve, and for that the single best choice (compatibility and support from the company which is excellent) is Atto ( www.attotech.com ) although Apple sells their own card.
I believe it's a rebranded LSI - see http://preview.tinyurl.com/6bw4w5
At one time the Exabyte firewire-based tape drives were a decent option but their firewire (aka IEEE 1394) interface has proven problematic in terms of being less than robust when attached to an Intel Mac.
If not SCSI then definitely look at native Fibre based tape drives - but that's getting into higher price-bracket. Eg. http://store.apple.com/ussmb78313/search?find=Fibre+Tapew

Mouse right clikc on windows environment

I planning to install windows vista using boot camp in MY Mac Book Pro
Can i use mouse right click button using MBP tack pad or external wireless mouse in windows environment?
My key board and mouse operation will work automatically or i need update any patch to work on windows environment.
Please suggest

When using Bootcamp and Vista, you'll lose the tap-to-click (or right-click with two-fingers) functionality. You must use the button for those features, which still work properly without tapping.

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.

Internal 3TB Cavier Green WD Hard Disk not detect on mac but detected on Windows (Parallels

I bought a 3TB Cavier Green Western Digital and I have a Astone external 3.5 case. I attached both of this together and hook up USB to my Mac mini. It seems like my Disk Utility doesn't detect my 3TB at all, at first I thought my hard drive has a problem. So I open up Windows 8 on my Mac running Parallels and try it, It works perfectly and detected on Windows via Parallels and apprently it also detected on my Dell Inspiron Laptop. So I don't know what happen to Mac, it seems like Mac OS X doesn't want to detect the 3TB at all. Is there anything I can do?

I can guarantee you that it work seamlessly on Windows with the same enclosure, Windows 8 running Paralles on my Mac and Windows 7 on Dell Inspiron showing me 2794.52GB. I am running Mountain Lion 10.8.2. I already check the System Profiler on my Mac where you click the System Report>USB. It can be detect, but not detail. I will try to run Terminal app in few days and will update you again. I emailed Western Digital. At the moment, this is what they ask me to do.
Please connect your drive onto a working computer with pure Windows environment and perform an "Extended Test" to test your drive for problems using Data Lifeguard Diagnostics for Windows. Kindly go to the link below if you need assistance:
http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=940
Please provide us the screenshot of the test result so we may verify the cause of the issue.
The "Extended Test" is going to take me 53 hours.
Do you think the next update 10.8.3 will help me? Because I read about BootCamp able to support 3TB hard drive.

MacPro Dual Use--Mac OS X and Windows?

I'm planning to purchase 2 MacPro stations for our school next year, however, I need some advice. The workstation will be used mostly for video editing--Final Cut Pro and other Mac OS X related activities, however, we need to run Windows-based applications such as SolidWorks and AutoCAD once every now and then. Furthermore, SolidWorks requires a robust video card. The software maker recommends Quadro FX cards. At present there is only one Quadro FX card available for the MacPro; it's price, however, is too high for us. Is it possible to run Mac OS X with the video card that comes installed with the MacPro when it ships and also boot up in Window XP or Vista via BootCamp using a second windows-only video card that would be specially suited to handle 3D modelling (SolidWorks) in a Windows environment? This would save me the need to purchase 2 Mac boxes and 2 Windows boxes. What difficulties would I encounter with the setup described above? Do you have any other recommendations as to what I could do? I'm also hearing rumors that Apple is planning to upgrade its MacPro workstation with possible new Quadro FX cards. Any other ideas?
PowerMac G5 2.3 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

If you use Boot Camp to create a Windows boot partition, then you can use any Windows compatible PCI-Express video card for Windows, although you will have to install your own Windows drivers because Boot Camp only has drivers for the three Apple video cards available for the Mac Pro. Obviously this would have to be installed as a second video card.
However, you should check with SolidWorks tech support about the usability of the 7300GT or ATI X1900 cards. The latter is quite suitable for the fastest games and may be suitable for use with SolidWorks.

Installing 9.1 on a 12-inch Powerbook G4 in a Mac OS 10.4.8 environment

After reading several posts under this heading and checking several documents under the SUPPORT tab I am much wiser, but still without a solution.
What I have learned:
I can use neither my 9.1 English nor my 9.0 Japanese installer disks to boot up my Powerbook. This I already knew through several actual attempts, but I was hoping that there was somthing that I did not know. I know longer suffer from that dillusion.
So, what next?

Thank you for responding.
The CPU speed of my 12-inch PB G4 is 1 GH.
If it is of any help, you will find below a copy of the messages I receive when I click on the Classic icon in my system's preference window:
"You do not have a version of Mac OS 9 installed that supports Classic. Install Mac OS 9.1 or later (Classic Support)."
"There is no volume with a Mac OS 9 system folder for Classic to use."
Once again, the problem lies with my getting a copy of either of my two Mac OS 9 system folders onto my G4.
Perhaps I should make additional (see Other Details) mention that I am already running Classic on my G3 and have a copy of Japanese Mac OS 9.1 installed in a Mac OS 10.3.9 environment. Can I use that system folder on my PB G4 in a Mac OS 10.4.8 environment?
Finally, my reason for wanting to install Classic on my G4 is to reduce my travel luggage and run Japanese software on it that is compatible with neither Mac OS 9.2 nor Mac OS 10.x.
Your continued assistance would likely be helpful.

I am retired. In my active years, I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard and Dreamweaver CS5 for my Windows environment. I recently spent a fortune to migrate to Apple. I realize that my licenses are not recognized by Adobe. I am desperate

I am retired. In my active years, I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard and Dreamweaver CS5 for my Windows environment. I recently spent a fortune to migrate to Apple. I now (and a bite late) realize that my licenses are not recognized by Adobe. I am desperate. I cannot afford the expense of buying or paying access to the software and, still, I need the tools for all those little things I do for enjoyment. What can be done?

The licenses are operating system specific, so one option would be to retain use of the Windows machine you had before the Mac.
If you want to try to use the older stuff on your new Mac you can try installing Windows emulation software such as Bootcamp.

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.

Thanks for your prompt reply. For your information there is a broken link on that page "Transfer from your Ipod"

Paragon NTFS for MAC vs HFS for Windows?

Hey fellas!
Which of these 2 would you say it makes more sense to have in a bootcamp environment with a drive exclusively for data storage:
NTFS for MAC or HFS for Windows?
My setup is drive 1 for both OSs, MAC and WINDOWS, and drive 2 would be then formatted in HFS or NTFS, for putting files and data which I'd use CONSTANTLY to share between the 2 OSs.
What do you think?

Actually I really wanted to use exFat, but I'm afraid of the so-called lack of overall reliability (when compared to NTFS) and worse, the usual compatibility issues I've heard about between OSX and exFat. I'll be storing important files, work related stuff.
Do you know anything about that?
Otherwise I think I'll go with NTFS...

Setting up one IMAC in a windows environment

I am a systems administrator in a small company that operates in a 100% windows environment. We have no one on staff with any support knowledge when it comes to apple. I have one individual ( a graphic designer) that has requested a Imac. The reason; because it is the industry standard in her world, and it would be easier for her to operate in Mac so as to be able to take over design projects others have started and vice versa. She also needs to work on huge files so it is time to upgrade. What are likely to be my challenges, I am thinking of even the simple things, for instance, I have noone on staff with any experience setting up a Mac machine on any network let alone a windows environment

Promothebear –
First what ever you do don’t upgrade to 10.5.6 there seems to be all sorts of issues with it when it comes to working/playing well in a Windows environment.
Though frustrating at times getting your Mac on a Windows network is not too difficult it just takes a little time and patience to pull it off.
Now for some questions:
- Since you indicate that you are the system administrator can I assume that you are running on a Windows Domain?
- Are you planning on using/accessing files created on the Mac with a PC?
- Are you planning on storing files created on the Mac on your Windows Servers?
- What version of Windows Server are you using (assuming a Windows Domain)?
- Do you plan on printing to printers attached to Windows systems?
- Are you planning on sharing files directly from your Mac?
Assuming that you are on a Domain I would recommend that you have the Mac join your Domain – but for now if you can answer the above questions that will help in determining a realistic solution for you.
Respectfully –
BH
