Only one way sharing between Macbook and Win XP

I have suddenly lost connectivity between my Macbook and shared directories on Win XP machine. Shared directories were there, but no longer. No major software upgrades that I know about. XP machine is ethernet wired to router; OS X machine wireless. Can go the other way (XP to Mac) no problem.
When I try to Go>Server with IP address of XP (192.168.1.100) the following message appears..."The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "smb://192.168.1.100" could not be read or written. (Error code -36). Firewalls are off. Can not find mention of Error code 36 on Apple website. Any ideas would be most welcome. Thanks.
Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   80G HD; 1G RAM

Not very helpful, but -36 is...
File System Errors
-36 ioErr I/O error
It may be permissions that need repairing in Disk Utility, so try that first. Next it might be a bad Alias or bad .plist.

  • Two-way or only one-way syncing between G4 and mobile??

    I have a Sony Ericcsson k750i mobile. When I first got it, I went through my Address Book (on my powerbook) and sorted it all out and synced with the phone (so all the numbers in the Address Book transfered to the phone). No problem. But now, if I sync, with isync, any numbers / names I have saved in the phonebook of the phone (say, I meet someone new when I'm out and take their number, put it directly in my phone) are erased. The sync, therefore, is ONE WAY, from the powerbook to the phone. Any new entries on the phone are scrapped.
    Is there a way to avoid this happening? I looked in isync but I don't find. It's a pretty stupid system if you can't have a two-way street when you're syncing.
    Any ideas much appreciated

    How? Does isync say something like, "There are contacts / numbers on your phone which are not in your Address Book. Do you want to copy them there?" to which you would reply Yes?
    How do you do it?

  • File sharing between Macbook and iPhone 5s? AirDrop or bluetooth

    Just purchased my first Macbook ever! I'm catching on quickly however I've run into a snag with file sharing between my other Apple devices.
    How can I pair and send files between my MBA and iPhone 5s?
    I've made the change in system preferences to allow file sharing, yet still pops up on my iPhone that my MBA doesn't support this.
    Also I've enabled Airdrop on both devices yet I can't seem to get that to work as well. Any help or advice would be appreciated. I would love to be able to easily send pictures or documents from my MBA to my iPhone 5s via Airdrop and vice versa.
    Thanks in advance

    Regarding AirDrop, note the quotation below from: iOS: Use AirDrop to wirelessly share content
    You can't use AirDrop on iOS to share with OS X users, and OS X users can't use AirDrop to share with iOS devices.
    The iPhone has limited bluetooth profiles and the only supportde connection between an iPhone and a computer is for tethering (sharing the iPhones cellular data connection). iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles

  • AirDrop transfer between Mac mini (late 2012) and MacBook Pro (late 2008) works only one way.

    AirDrop transfer between Mac mini (late 2012) and MacBook Pro (late 2008) works only one way.  I see both machines on both airdrop windows. Firewalls on both machines are set exactly the same way, and with Network Browser set to allow.  Can send a file from Mac mini to MacBook, but not the other way.  Never get a window asking to accept on the Mac mini.
    Found no useful documentation on AirDrop anywhere in the whole support site.

    Maybe this will work. From an Apple support article.
    You can also use the Share button to send files to your neighbors via AirDrop. In a Finder window, select the item you want to share, and then click the Share button in the toolbar. For more information about the Share button, see this help topic:

  • Since me and my mother moved from iChat to iMessage bêta, screen sharing works only one way. I can share my screen with her but not the reverse. When actually what I would like to do is share her screen. Video works fine both ways.

    Screensharing works only one way since we moved from iChat to iMessage bêta. Before that we have never had any problem with screen sharing. We haven't changed anything else, just installed iMessage. What I need to do is share her screen, and the only thing I can do is share my screen...
    Thanks for your help.

    HI,
    On the whole I am finding it very stable.  (it presents the same quirks in the same manner each time)
    It has some things that are more Feature requests than "Bugs" per se about the way it works that I would like to change.
    It can also be difficult to tell exactly what is going on whenyou are hearing about it third hand.
    Sounds like you have a plan.

  • Only one connection established between TT Cache Connect and Oracle10g

    When I use AWT, I found in a TT datastore only one connection established between TT Cache Connect and Oracle10g .
    In our project, the massive real-time data in TT need to be propagated to Oracle10g, but the data are blocked beacuse the slower Oracle10g DB. Can I establish a connection pool that have multiple connections between TT Cache Connect and Oracle10g?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    I'm afraid that the current implementation of AWT uses just one connection to Oracle and there is no way to change that. This is indeed a significant bottleneck...
    One possible workaround is to split your data across multiple datastores as each datastore will have its own AWT connection to Oracle. Not very nice but about your only option with AWT...
    Sorry, Chris

  • One Way Sync between Droid 4 and desktop

    My new Droid 4 syncs between my desktop and phone but not the other way.  How do I unlock the secret?

    I've been struggling with some sync going only one way and other sync not working at all for 3 days.... this is REALLY frustrating.... my IT tech support guys tell me that I have to talk with Verizon tech, because they say it's not an Exchange Server issue.....

  • My iPhone calendar and iCloud sync only one way

    My iPhone 4 (iOS 5) calendar and iCloud sync only one way -- from iCloud to the phone. Any ideas why I can't sync from my iPhone calendar to iCloud?

    When you add an event on Iphone, 3rd fields down from bottom, select calender > iCloud. Voila!!
    I am not sure everybody understand really the intention with iCloud. It is one single calender residing on a Apple server somewhere. Selecting iCloud from any device will show this calender. Then how to sync this with other calenders is to me a mystery, or not possible, especially on Lion iCal. Please anyone.

  • Transfer iPhoto between Macbook and iMac

    I just managed to transfer my iPhoto contents from MacBook to iMac and thought I would share this.
    I needed to do this because my Macbook hard drive is full and I have plenty of space on my iMac.
    Connect MacBook and iMac with Ethernet network cable (I found this the fastest way but you may connect via your home network wifi connection as well)
    In MacBook, Open Finder and on the left pane under Shared, click on your iMac.
    show items as Columns by clicking on third icon on the top pane.
    Make a folder somewhere on your iMac by right clicking on white space. (I made a folder under Pictures)
    Click on this new folder (which should be second column in the view) and third column will be empty as there are no items in this new folder.
    In MacBook, Open iPhoto application, on the left pane click on Photos which will show all your photos in the view.
    Now adjust the size of this iPhoto window and above Finder window so you can see them next to each other.
    To test, just drag one or two photos from iPhoto window to Finder window in the third column (which is empty as there are no items in this new folder)
    If successful, drag other Photos or Videos as required and test by opening this new folder on your iMac. that's it. hope this helps.

    I'm afraid your explanation of what you've done is not clear.
    Did you copy the Library from one machine to the other?
    or
    Did you back up the Library to another Library?
    The distinction is important:
    In your title you ask about
    synchronize iphoto between MacBook and iMac...
    If you mean one direction copying - that is, backing up Library A to Library B, then you'll have no problems.
    However, if you try +bi-directional copying+ - that is changes in Library A reflected in Library B and changes in Library B also reflected in Library B you will corrupt one or both Libraries. No syncing software can parse the Library database to do bi-directional copying.
    Is there something not working if you have the iPhoto library stored as a folder instead of a package?
    No.
    Isn't it easier to have the iPhoto library as a folder instead of a package to synchronize it with another Mac using rsync?
    iPhoto is a consumer application designed to be manipulated in the GUI.
    Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is a Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
    So, by running it as a Folder you facilitate this.

  • Can I use Google Sync to transfer only my contacts from my IPhone 4 to my gmail acct? I don't want to sync info from Gmail to the IPhone. Can the sync work only one-way? I have 0 contacts on my gmail as I'll only use it as a back-up 4 my IPhone contacts.

    Can I use Google Sync to transfer only my contacts from my IPhone 4 to my gmail account? I do not want to sync info from Gmail to the IPhone. Can the sync work only one-way? I have 0 contacts & 0 calendar events on my gmail account. I opened the Gmail account specifically to for the Google Sync and wil only be using this account as a back-up for my IPhone contacts. Please Help!!

    You do realize that the SIM only contains account information for your wireless account.
    Moving the SIM from phone to phone does not cause any of your iTunes content, contacts, email, etc to magically appear on the device.

  • HT1386 How do you sync only one way?

    I want to know how to sync only one way because there are some photos from our previous apple devices and I don't want those photos to appear onto my new one when I sync to put the photos or videos onto the computer. Does anyone know how to do it without messing up the system?

    The photos are now on your computer and you don't want them on your new iPad?
    Then move this photos on your computer to another location (folder) first and then sync.

  • Why is Mail rule syncing only one way?

    Odd. I've got a Mac mini and an iMac, both running 10.8.2, both with iCloud syncing Documents & Data. Mail on the mini has rules -- created on that machine -- for SpamSieve that are not syncing to the iMac; in fact, both rules disappear every few days and I only notice because spam starts piling up.
    On the other hand, changes to Mail rules on the iMac are synced to the mini. The mini has been running Mountain Lion for five months; the rules only started disappearing after I upgraded to ML on the iMac last month.
    Any ideas on why the syncing is only one-way?

    It appears that I can't edit my original question. So here is new information. It is syncing. However, the contacts are syncing with my personal folders. The calendar is syncing from Outlook to Ipad from my personal folders. However, the calendar is syncing to Outlook in a hotmail calendar in the profile that I didn't know existed. How do I get it set right.
    I tried to select the calendar. However only one calendar is available in itunes. It must be the correct calendar as it is syncing fine. So how do I get ipad to sync back to the personal folders calendar instead of the hotmail calendar in my profile?

  • Can I make OneDrive Pro sync only ONE-WAY?

    Can I make OneDrive Pro sync only ONE-WAY?

    That sucks. DropBox can.
    We want to SYNC literature down to sales reps and not have the sales reps accidentally erase from the Cloud for all. Hence we want a one way SYNC to have them SYNC literature onto their computers for remote
    access to the files.
    Surely SharePoint cannot be that far behind DropBox.
    Is there no way to achieve that?

    Hi cbafiero,
    It seems that the problem lies in your router. I'm not sure exactly what the issue is (I've just now discovered it myself), but after switching from a Linksys WRT54GX2 to a thrift store Netgear, my shared libraries appeared instantly. My gut is telling me that the Linksys routers are blocking the multicast traffic, which is stupid on Linksys's part, to filter traffic internally. I'll look more into the Netgear and see what it has that the Linksys doesn't (or vice versa).

  • How can i change when i start the mac book pro, between mac and win?

    when i start the mac book pro, between mac and win?

    If you want to set which OS your system boots into (provided Windows is installed using BootCamp and not a virtualization option such as Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox), just hold the "Option" key down when you turn your computer on.  Continue to hold the key down until you see the options for booting into the OS of your choice.  Just click on the arrow under the one you wish (tap to click won't work here if you have it enabled... you'll need to physically click the trackpad).  If you want to change which OS your system normally boots into, just go into System Preferences in OS X and select "Starup Disk".  Whichever OS you select here will be the OS your system will automatically boot into.
