Pc's see eachother. Macbook doesn't

I tried to search existing content and this is likely an easy one. the two pc's in my house see each other and can print on the same printer. My two macs don't see each other or the pc's. I've tried enabling sharing on all computers.
Set up. Cat 5 from wall to modem to router. G5 tower direct into router. 2 pc's and mac book wireless

I would have a look at iFelix's web site…
http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/
… as it describes, very well, how to do all this stuff.

Does anyone know how to connect to wireless internet using a Hitron CVE-30360 cable modem. My Macbook doesn't even see the network?

I just received my cable modem from Hitron and I am unable to connect to it. My phone and other computers and see it as a wireless network but my Macbook doesn't even show it a network that I can connect to. It is totally invisible to my Macbook. Can anyone help with this?

Assuming "BellSouth" uses the same procedure as "SBCGlobal", which are now both ATT/Yahoo, as far as I know:
Take router from box. Connect to power outlet and phone outlet.
Take Ethernet cable, plug one end into the router's jack marked LAN, plug other end into your computer's Ethernet jack.
Point your Web browser to 192.168.1.1 (enter this into your browser's address bar, actual address might vary, check your router's documentation.)
A Web form will appear. Set router to PPPoE, if necessary. Enter the user name your ISP gave you. Enter the password.
Watch all the lights on your router go green.
Or, if the router is already set up, since you used it with your Dell laptop previously:
Take Ethernet cable, plug one end into the router's jack marked LAN, plug other end into your computer's Ethernet jack. Done.
The second from the left is your Ethernet jack:

Macbook doesn't want to recognize the cd rom

We bought my daughter a macbook before she left for college in September. It has the intel core2duo, 2.16 ghz, and 2 gig of memory. For some reason when she pops in a disk, the macbook doesn't recognize it and doesn't do anything. You can hear it is doing something inside, but not what it usually does when it does recognize the cd ....... and even today, sometimes it will recognize it, sometimes it will not.
Any suggestions????

I will have to check and see if there is one near her at school. We had to take her back as she is on her college basketball team. I did tell her we may need to have it repaired over her Christmas break, although she will be at school then too! Can you imagine the look she gave me?????
I am really glad I bought the Apple Care!!!
Thank you for everything. It is so good to know that all of you are checking these forums! You have an incredible amount of knowledge!!!!

HI,
In effect this is a DNS block.
You can do it.
You need to be in an Admin Mac User Account that has non blank password.
Go to the Applications/Utilities folder and open Terminal.
You should see your shortname (the one under the Little House icon) followed by the $ symbol
Copy and paste the bold text below into Terminal after the $ symbol.
sudo pico /etc/hosts
This will load the file "hosts" into and editor that works in Terminal.
Use the arrow keys to get to the line with Verisign in it.
Now type the # symbol and it will be added in front of the character that is highlighted.
The # symbol is either Shift +3 or ALT+ 3 depending on your keyboard layout
Now use CTRL and O keys together.
This Saves the changes.
Quit Terminal.

Hi Kappy Thanks for your answer. I did a reboot on my Macbook as suggested and this operation is going on non stop for 14 hours and on the screen always appears the same message that you can see in the picture in attachment. Any ideas?

Why can't my Windows 7 machine see my MacBook Air?

I have a Windows 7 desktop and a MacBook Air. In the wireless network we have. I've set everything up so it should see each other. Windows 7 is new for us - we had it working before with XP... We have an XP laptop, a Windows 7 desktop and a MacBook air. XP and Windows 7 see each other and MacBook Air sees Win 7. But Win 7 doesn't see my MacBook Air... I saw a solution to take Win 7 off the homegroup - but I had already disabled homegroup because I read several problems with it. So that didn't solve my problem... HELP

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

PLEASE HELP!!! I NEED HELP

Please test after taking each of the following steps. Back up all data before you begin.
Step 1
Quit the Contacts or Address Book application if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBookSourceSync
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash.
Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.AddressBook
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 2
If you use iCloud, uncheck the box marked Contacts in the iCloud preference pane. Press return to confirm, or click Keep on Mac in the dialog that opens.
If you synchronize contacts with any other network service, disable that synchronization in the Internet Accounts preference pane.
Step 3
From the list of groups on the left side of the Contacts window, select All On My Mac. If that group doesn't exist or is empty, skip this step. Otherwise, from the menu bar, select
          File ▹ Export... ▹ Contacts Archive...
Save the exported archive to the Desktop.
Step 4
Quit Contacts. Reveal the following item in the Finder as you did in Step 1:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
If you know when the problem started, and you can restore that folder from an earlier backup without losing any contacts, do so and test. Otherwise, move the folder to the Desktop, leaving the window open for now.
Step 5
Launch Contacts. Your contacts and groups will be gone. If you took Step 3, then double-click the file you created in that step and confirm that you want to import from it. Your contacts and groups will reappear.
Step 6
If you took Step 2, reverse it. Test. If the issue is resolved, delete the AddressBook folder and the archive file on the Desktop and close the open folder window.
Otherwise, quit Contacts again and put the AddressBook folder back where it was, overwriting the newer one that will have been created in its place.
Step 7
Go back to Step 3, but this time choose Export vCard... from the Export menu. Continue as in Steps 4-6. All contacts should be preserved, but you may lose some metadata such as group membership.

MacBook doesn't have FrieWire port? How to move all the stuff from Mac to MacBook?

Hi,
Just bought my new MacBook (13-inch, mid 2010). Would like to move all the files, programes and etc from my old mac (11-inch, 2006, Tiger) to the MacBook. What's the easiest way of doing?
It seems the MacBook doesn't have a FireWire port.
Thank you!

Gmail sent from macbook doesn't show up on iPhone6

I activated my new phone today, and email I send from macbook doesn't show up on phone. I can send/receive from phone. All settings on new phone match old phone.

The messages are still downloading. Just an FYI but changing that one setting (adding [Gmail]) to one account appears to have f'kd it up beyond what I can say. First everything went away. So I took it back out of the setting. Now these are the messages trying to download. I think I had archived alot of these messages and will have to clean out the box again??? The second image is showing in the sent folder. Only a few old messages are there and now they have this weird blue 'From'? Free storage is the only reason I use gmail and 'free' is looking pretty expensive right now.

Macbook Doesn't Shut Down

My Macbook doesn't shut down when I use it for longer than 4-5 hours. Even if there are no programs running it still doesn't shutdown, the button may as well have a question mark on it because it does nothing.
Little help please. It's getting annoying having to hold the power button to shut it down.
(Restart and Logout don't work either but Standby does)

This same problem is happening to me also. Doesn't happen all the time but enough to be a problem. I will use the shut down menu option and then the desktop icons leave; however, the dock is still there. I have waited several minutes (over 10) to see if the computer will shut down. I finally have to push and hold the power button and then the computer shuts down. I have not been able to find a common issue for this--appears random.

TS2972 I have finished home sharing for my macbook air and apple tv, now how to see my macbook air on the TV monitor?

how to see my macbook air on the TV monitor after I finished home sharing for the system?

Did you purchase your MacBook Air new? Do you still have its box? Locate its serial number and telephone Apple at the number shown at the bottom of this page (1-800-MY-APPLE if you're in the U.S.). They can help you.

Macbook doesn't recognize external display

I am trying to use my tv as an external display. My Intel Macbook doesn't detect my tv as an external display, this is because I am using an unconventional connector (VGA to RCA connector).
Anyways, I am wondering if there is a way to force my laptop to output video over the mini-DVI out port on my computer. I am thinking a utility or something would be able to do it.
This is my setup:
mini-DVI out from computer>
mini-DVI to VGA cable from apple>
VGA to RCA(yellow video cable) (from hong-kong)>
AV in of TV (RCA yellow video cable)
I realize that the VGA to RCA makes my computer not detect my tv, I am looking for a work-around.
Macbook 2.0GHz (White) Mac OS X (10.4.8)

You just need the Apple mini-DVI to video adapter. It has both a composite and s-video output.

Can I see my macbook air desktop on apple tv?

Thank you,

Welcome to the Apple community.
No, unfortunately you cannot currently do that.
You may be able to do this under the next operating system "mountain lion", subject to any hardware restrictions there maybe.

I have 3,500 photos on my MacBook that I would like to copy to my Windows 7 PC. The PC CAN "see" the MacBook on the wi-fi network but I can't find the picture files through that route on the MacBook.

I took 3500 pictures with an iPhone 5 and a Canon Ixus camera whil on holiday in China. I downloaded them onto my MacBook every day.
Now we're back home I want to back them up onto my Windows 7 PC as it has a 1 TB HDD.
My PC and MacBook can see each other over the wi-fi network (the PC has an Ethernet connection to the wifi router) and the MacBook can copy files from the PC but not vice versa although the PC can "see" the MacBook - just not copy or transfer any files.
Also when I look for the jpegs for my holiday pics I can't find them on the MacBook though they open happily in iPhoto. When I look in my iPhoto library it seems to have (among other things) an XML file as a database but no actual jpegs. There are some jpegs on the MacBook but these are from photos I transferred from the PC before I out the 1TB HDD in.
Where are the actual photos stored and how can I transfer them to the PC over the wifi network?

Selectthem in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder - see the user tip on exporting for edtails on the options available - from there it has not involvement of iPhoto - what access you have andhow you access the Mac disk is a subject for a differnt forum
Direct access to the contents of the ihoto library - a SQLite database - is not supported
