New to the Mac and need a little help!

I recently upgraded our pc in the house to windows vista. Before the upgrade I could use remote desktop to access the files on a shared drive. Now I cannot. Any help would be appreciated.
I am using a mini Mac with 10.4.9 on a 1.873 core duo mini.
Using remote desktop on XP allowed me to access and move files from a shared D:\ drive that Vista will not allow me to see. HELP??? the drive used to be accessible through the finder.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I'm a little confused, are you running the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection software on your Mac mini under Mac OS X? So, after the upgrade to the PC, the Mac mini can no longer connect with the same software? So your question is actually about how to re-configured Windows Vista settings so the drive is available again to the Mac client?

New to the game and need some quick help

I have been thrown our exisiting phone infrastructure and what do you know we are having some issues.
We have a new series of DID's and when they are dialed from our directory they go anywhere? Not routing to the proper extension. Translation pattern looks good in comparison to the extensions that are working.

First thing to know is that everything that has a DN can be used for routing, so it's a good idea to look at the route plan report to find matches.
If you can't find an exact match, chances are you're hitting something with wildcards ie X, [1-2], etc
An easy way to check routing if you're new to the game is to use DNA

New to mac.. need a little help

I am relatively new to macs and need a lil help understanding what's going on with my computer. I recently got a lend of a powerbook G4 from a friend and it has a tendency to freeze up completely and I have to just hold the power button until it turns off then it when I turn it back on it will work ok again sometimes for several hours without a hitch.
Also, sometimes instead of freezing up I'm just not able to type. I can do everything else with the mouse or open programs and such but when I try to type it just doesn't work (and again, restarting fixes the prob).
Looking for help .. if anyone knows why it may be doing this and/or how to fix it your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
First, check your hard drive free space. Click on the apple on the menu bar, about this mac, ata, and click on the hard drive under ata bus (DVD drive is listed there too). That will tell you the drive capacity and how much is available. You want 10% to 15% of the total capacity to be available for systems usage. If less than that, performance can slow to a crawl, and some of the issues you identified could be due to low free disk space.
Next, you should have a backup of the hard drive, if there's anything you want to keep.
Download the program OnyX from http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/download.html . Run the tasks on the cleaning and maintenance tabs. A number of people have found this helps clean up the hard drive and contributes to improved performance.
This FAQ has some good advice for performance tuning: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/performance.html
If, after cleaning your system and tuning it up, you're still having problems, please post back with specifics.

Hello, i am new to the mac and i need to learn how to re image using an external hard drive

Hello, i am new, like baby fresh new,...lol, to the mac and i need to learn how to re-image using an external hard drive.

How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive. Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure. You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
Step Three: Boot from the external drive. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume. Click on the Restart button. You should boot from the new drive. Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.

I am new to the Mac and have a stupid Question

So I am not really this stupid but would love it if someone could tell me how to remove a program.
I downloaded some driver software in order to set me up onto the network printer at work. Along with that software came some sort of device locator for which I have no need nor patience. The file name is "com.brother.ControlCenter.plist" and the program name is "Brother Control Center Ver. 2.4.3"
I have deleted the file from the program list, I have changed the preferences of the program to try and disable it from launching at start up. I have drug it into the trash on the desk top and emptied the trash immediately after and through all of this my nemesis continues to launch at start up and then prompt me for a device choice.
Please tell me how to completely remove this program file.
Thanks

New To The Forum And Looking For Speed Help!

Hello, After trying to find information about my problem on the Internet and then speaking to the BT Indian Call Centre, I stumbled upon this forum. I am hoping, having looked at so many helpful comments and contributions, that I might be able to shed some light upon my connection speed issue. I have had a very pleasing and stable Internect connection speed of nearly 8Mb. However, I recently moved my router to the Master socket in the house which was better positioned to give a good WiFi signal throughout my house. However, when I have plugged in the router and booted it up, I can only connect at just over 4Mb regardless of what I try. I know I am at risk of sounding a touch ungrateful here because there are many more people with bigger problems than I but I would be very grateful for some advice / assisitance as to why my problem might have occurred and how I might regain my previous speed. Thank you in advance for any help! Cheers.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

welcome to the forum
in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems) http://speedtester.bt.com or http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9354/c/346,4740,5520 and post the results .
are you connected directly to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

New to the Mac - I need help

I finally saw the light yesterday, I bought a MacBook Pro. I returned my newly acquired toshiba with vista (after having to restart several times a day in one week) and drove straight to the apple store.
Now my question.
How do I transfer my saved AOL e-mails stored in my "older" pc to my AOL mac. I cant seem to locate the file that contains saved messages in the AOL mac.

Got a new Ipod(With video) AND NEEDS TONS OF HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I NEED HELPOk, so I just got a new Video ipod for my birthday(recently had a mini) and I downloaded about 10 videos. I was so excited but when I downloaded the videos it said
"There was an error downloading your purchased music.The disk could not be read from or written to.Use the check for Purchases command in Advanced menu to try again later"
And so I did and it said the same thing. I have been trying for 5 days now. We called the apple store and one of the "geniuses" said to check and make sure The music store is updated. And yes it was. So he said if it was then to email them at apple.com and so I came here. Then I went to support thinking it would be there and there was no way of contacting them. SO I came to you guys. I really can't bring it down until this weekend, which I was going to go on a trip and listen to it the whole week, SO I would REALLYappreciate your help, like REALLY lol thanks so much.
Help is appreciated So much, so thanks again ~Danielle
HELP

By any chance are you trying to download from the store to a network drive? If you are, try downloading to the "C" drive, then move your purchase over.
EDIT:
I think I may be misreading your problem & want to clarify what is going on. Is this error occurring when your trying to download the purchase to the computer or when your trying to sync the purchase to iPod. If it's happening going to the computer, then the issue could be the network drive.

Need a little help new to mac

Need a little help I'm new to Mac.. i have had my ibook for over a year now and i like it a lot, but some times my usb post dies on my for a couple days maybe weeks. Ill have my ipod connected and when i go to plug in a flash drive. It doesn't detect my ipod anymore and my usb port don't work. it says that they were "removed improperly" and now they are not working again..i have tried to reinstall the whole os again and that doesn't work i don't have the hardware test disk so i don't know what could be the problem i know its not the logic board is there any test i can do to it to find out the problem its an ibook late 2001... there is no reset button on it. i tried to hold in the space bar and now when i boot up i get prompt to this screen that shows the world and then a folder with a ? mark but then after a few sec it boots right up im a mess need some help

+it says that they were "removed improperly"+
You have to go to the iPod's icon on your computer (or the flash drive's icon), select it and eject it there before removing it. Otherwise, data can be corrupted and/or lost. Repeatedly removing it without ejecting it from the desktop can cause it not to be recognized any longer.
If your iBook is a "late 2001" model. It should have a reset button. Check out the chart here to make sure which model iBook you have:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1772?viewlocale=en_US
+i get prompt to this screen that shows the world and then a folder with a ? mark but then after a few sec it boots right up+
It's trying to find a network volume from which to boot.
Once it's booted up, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk, and select your Mac OS X startup volume. Then close System Preferences. The next time you start up, it should start up without looking for a network volume.

Im new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experincing a hard drive crash out of the blue, I lost everything. I want to make sure this doesn't happen again. I show backups for my iPhone and my daughter's iPod but my mac doesn't exist. How do I fix tho

I'm new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experiencing a hard drive that went out of the blue, I lost everything. I wanted to use the icloud to back my documents up. I went into the iCloud under settings but it only shows my iPhone and daughter's iPod. How do I get my Mac to back up too? Is there something I need to use to have the documents back up?

You cannot back up your Mac to iCloud. Even backing the whole thing up to another online service would be dubious because it would take a very long time. You should buy an external hard disk and back up to that - even better, buy two and use one to make a Time Machine backup and the other to clone your Mac from time to time, thus giving you a backup from which you can boot in an emergency.
If you wanted to back up a suitably sized selection of data to an online service there are a number of third-party methods available, some of which are examined here:

I'm new to the MAC world. I turned my computer on from 'sleep' mode, and a window was up stating that the IOS disk was full; asked me to force quit, then it just froze. It's been 2 hours. Help! I'm worried about losing photos/videos of my children. Thx!

I'm worried about losing photos/videos of my children. Im not sure if there's something special I need to do once I turn it back on; in the meantime, its still on... which I'm afraid the picture on the screen will burn into the screen. Does that happen on iMac's? Thx!

Try a hard reset. ( holding Power til it restarts)
Once to your desktop. Click the Apple icon >> About this mac >> More info>> Storage
Once you see what you have the most of. Try to see what you can delete.
Open up any folder>>all files>> or buy an external to store more data.
Once deleting make sure you empty your trash.
If you are new and its a new computer, you might need to bring it to a store for further assistence.
