New office network setup idea, can anyone help!

Hi all
I wish to do the following and would help and advice from this group to guide our purchases and development of the following;
I wish to set up a company dedicated LAN [with wifi access]. We also need to access the system via ftp and some way remotely connect from several laptops on the road to a main server securely. BUT we will also need to access a few PC programs either jointly on a Mac server AND a PC linked up or just with a Mac. We already have a real mix of systems needing to access the proposed setup. Mac Mini's. ibooks, Ti's Intel Apple's G5's and so on.
Can you guys suggest a low learning curve, reliable setup?

You'll probably want to take up this question in the Mac OS X Networking forum. This forum is for questions about Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's application for managing networked Macs and so probably not the forum where you'll be most likely to get help and advice for your situation.
Regards.

    Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

  • I am new to Macs or Mac books can anyone help with

    i have bought a Mac book, its not new but its been fully refurbished
    But as I am completely new to the operating system, can anyone help with book marks, downloading pictures from a camera, using MS word
    I am hoping to use this mac book on my travels, so any help/advice would really be appreciated
    I got this Mac book as they seem to get online a lot better than any Windows laptop and I don't keep getting updates
    I just need help with saving word documents, saving book marks, passwords, accessing emails (I have a Hotmail account) and downloading photos from a card reader or camera
    I have
    Apple
    Mac Book
    MacBook4,1

    Just to directly answer a few questions...
    ...if you use Safari, Apple's built-in browser, you can create a bookmark by holding down the command and D keys at the same time. I don't use Safari that much - I prefer Firefox mainly for the fact that there's a plug-in or extension for most anything you can imagine.
    There are two ways to transfer photos from your camera to your Mac - you can either use a USB cord (if your camera came with one) and plug it into a USB port and transfer photos or you can use the SD card socket on the left hand side of your MacBook Pro and take the SD card out of your camera and transfer your photos to your Mac.
    You have to purchase, if you haven't already, Microsoft's Office for Mac to work with Word. Office 2010 on Windows and Office 2011 for Macs are very similar so if you're familiar with the Windows side you'll have no problems.
    Best of luck,
    Clinton

  • My new Canon Pixma 7250 wireless printer can no longer find my wireless network. My MAC is, Yosemite 10.10.2. I've run diagnostics and Canon LAN printer setup routine many time. Is there a solution? Can anyone help?

    My new Canon Pixma 7250 wireless printercan no longer find my wireless network. (It worked fine until recently) I have a Yosemite 10.10.2. I've run diagnostics and the Canon LAN printer setup routine many times. Is there a solution? Can anyone help?

    Turn of the MG and unplug the power cord. Leave it off for about a minute and then reconnect the power cord and turn the power back on. Wait while the device attempts to reconnect to your wireless network - the blue wifi symbol on the MG will flash and then stay on once it has connected. If it keeps flashing then you will have to reconnect the MG to your wireless access point via the control panel on the MG.

  • Hi, I am using an iMAC 6.4 and I will need to upgrade the 10.5.8 to a newer version. I am a PC person, so I have no idea of how do this. Can anyone help me please? Thanks!

    e no idea of how do this. Can anyone help me please? Thanks!

    There is no such model as an iMac 6.4. Be sure to check the system requirements for upgrading.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

  • TS3297 Hi, I've setup my new mini ipad today, restored a backup from icloud and all is fine.  However, when I try to download my music, they almost completely download then an error message pops up saying "unable to download songs" - can anyone help pleas

    Hi, I've setup my new mini ipad today, restored a backup from icloud and all is fine.  However, when I try to download my music, they almost completely download then an error message pops up saying "unable to download songs" - can anyone help please?

    So it appears iCloud/iTunes Match isn't the issue - the error message would seem to be complaining about where the music is being downloaded to. So with this in mind:
    In iTunes select Preferences and select Advanced. The iTunes media folder should be set to /Users/<your account>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music. <your account> would be whatever your user account is. If you see something else there I'd guessing it is a folder you don't have permission to write to.

  • I had my iphone 3gs unlocked so i could use it in Oz, however although i can phone works ok, i cant get internet, but i the option of Cellular Data Network does not appear with the new sim? Can anyone help pls?

    Hi Just wondered if anyone can help with the above question? I had O2 phone unlocked and bought a local sim card, but although the calls are fine i have no option for internet etc.  I have done searches and got the info details from the sim provider to activate, but  instructions say i go to : Settings; General; Network and then Celluar Data Network, but I dont get that option ?  When i put back my O2 sim card, the option reappears?
    Can anyone help me please? Off to Australia again soon and really could do with it working properly this time.
    Thanks everyone
    Ronnie

    Hi Ronnie, was wondering what brand sim card you bought?
    Was it from Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, Virgin or Mayasim?
    I have a 4 S running iOS 5.01 is there an option in Settings - Network - Carrier? As this should be set to the supplier of the sim card. In my Settings - Network there is no option for Celluar Data Network.
    What version of the iOS are you using?
    Some prepaid sim cards may not have a lot of data, so I suggest searching the companies websites for the best deals before you come here. Telstra usually have good plans. If you take your phone to the shop you purchased the sim card from they will usually set it up for you. 
    Telstra runs on a different frequency to others and offers the best coverage in Australia.
    Just for the record I am not an employee of any mobile company.

  • My macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    my macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    This can be caused by a number of issues.
    Was everything working and then suddenly stopped??
    Or is this a new clean setup and has never worked.
    Do you have a cable modem which is not a router and the TC setup in bridge? That will cause it. The TC must be in router mode, ie dhcp and nat.
    Check the IP the MBP gets including dns and gateway..
    Then check the ipad/iphone.. post what IP dns and gateway (router in applespeak) they get.
