Please help with a stupid question on networing 2 macs

I have a MacPro and a MAC book pro with and airport n base station. In the past, the books for my G4 and G5 told me how to network the macs with peer to peer so I can access any drive of one machine from the other.
I can't find out how to do that. Can you send me to a white paper. I don't have the G4 and G5 anymore, and can see the drop boxes on both new macs but I can't access them. I don't have permission. Have the setup procedures changed?
I also want to be able to connect my same MPB to a Power Mac at work.
I know this is rudimentary, but in Snow Leopard I am having trouble finding how to do it. I didn't spend a lot of time on leopard, but spent three years on tiger.
Cheers.

  • Please help with graphics2d shape question

    I have the following code that is supposed to be used to create "dog" objects for use in other graphics applets. However, there seems to be a problem with my setLocation method. My code is this:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.geom.*;
    import java.applet.*;
    public class Dog {
         Shape body;
         Shape tail1;
         public Dog() {
              body = new Ellipse2D.Double(0,0,100,50);
              tail1 = new Arc2D.Double(0,0,75,60,50,250,0);
         public void display(Graphics g) {
              Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
              g2.setColor(Color.blue);
              g2.draw(body);
              g2.draw(tail1);
         public void setLocation(double x, double y) {
              double bodyWidth = body.getWidth();
              double bodyHeight = body.getHeight();
              body.setFrame(x,y,bodyWidth,bodyHeight);
    }When i try to compile it, i get the following errors:
    E:\Java\Applets\Dog>javac dog.java
    dog.java:32: cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : method getWidth ()
    location: interface java.awt.Shape
    double bodyWidth = body.getWidth();
    ^
    dog.java:33: cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : method getHeight ()
    location: interface java.awt.Shape
    double bodyHeight = body.getHeight();
    ^
    dog.java:34: cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : method setFrame (double,double,double,double)
    location: interface java.awt.Shape
    body.setFrame(x,y,bodyWidth,bodyHeight);
    ^
    3 errors
    It acts as thougth those methods don't exist, but I have the api specification right in front of me that says setFrame is a valid method for class Ellipse2D.Double. Can anyone tell me what the problem is? Thanks for your time and help.
    Tom

    it acts as thougth those methods don't exist, Well, there is no getWidth() or getHeight() method for a Shape. These methods do exist for a Rectangle2D which you can create by using the getBounds method of Shape. For example:
    Rectangle2D rect=body.getBounds();
    double bodyWidth=rect.getWidth();
    double bodyHeight=rect.getHeight();;o)

  • Please help with a compatibiility question...

    Hi Folks-
    I wonder if anyone has a thought on this...I would like to record my band. I have a G4iBook, 1.42GHz with 512MB RAM. It's running OS 10.4.11. I have GarageBand 3.0.4. I want to get an Alesis MultiMix 12 Firewire. My plan is to go to our rehearsal studio and mic up the drums (kick, snare, 2 OH condensers), Bass DI, stereo keys DI, and 2 guitars DI. I would do this all in one pass. Then I would take everything home, do vocals and some guitar overdubs, then mix. My real question is- can the iBook and GarageBand handle all the data coming in without coughing up a lung? Also, does the Alesis work OK with GarageBand? It seems like an awful lot of mixer for the price.
    Thanks for any insight you can give!
    Mike

    Ummm, I THINK I only have 1 expansion slot, so that the machine only handles 1.5GB RAM. Will that be enough?
    Thanks again!
    Mike

  • Please help with a storage question for Ideapad S 10-2

    Hello everyone, my name is Orela and I'm from Croatia.  Last year i bought Lenovo S 10-2 and was happy with it but recently it broke down and wouldn't start. I have a warranty and would like to send it to be repared.
    I have credit card information, personal e mail exchanges as well as family photos on the computer however and would rather repairmen couldn't go through my content. 
    My friend took out the hard disk but I remember that Windows 7 was on separate "unit". 
    Does S 10-2 have one 160 GB hard disk that contains 2 partitions (one for storage and other for Windows 7) or does it have one 160 GB hard disk + separate storage medium for Windows 7?
    Thans for your help,
    Orela

  • PLEASE HELP WITH SIMPLE RESET QUESTION!!!

    This is probably extremely simple to resolve...my Nano is not syncing with my computer any more. I thought I should try resetting it. I looked at the manual and pressed MENU and the CENTRE BUTTON at the same time and waited for the Apple logo to appear. I tried several times but it did not work!
    WHAT AM I DOING WRONG, PLEASE??

    When you restore the ipod, you need to press the menu and select (centre) button together for about 6 seconds. Try to be sure that your finger on the centre button does not touch the wheel part, and that the one on the menu button is closer to the outside edge.

  • Please help with slideshow problems!

    Am using Photoshop Elements 8 and trying to make a slideshow. Have tried 4 times now and keep ending up with same problem, cannot reopen project to continue edititing.  Won't show up in orginizer and when I find on harddrive and try to open get message " wmv file cannot be opened".  How can I save a
    slideshow inprogress and be able to reopen and continue to edit and make slideshow?  I want to thank anyone who can help me with this in advance as I
    have gotten so frustrated that I want to just scream.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the help, thought I had done so but maybe not.  Anyway will have another go at it, now may I ask another
    question?  I am trying to add audio to slideshow.  I have some music I purchased thru amazon as mp3 files but I get
    message no codec and when I try to add wmv I get same message.  What type of file do I need and how can I add
    multiple songs to one slideshow.   I have one little wmv file that will go in, but it just replicates itself multiple times until
    it fills slide show. 
    Thanks again, sorry to be a bother, but this thing is driving this old man crazy.

    Subject: Please help with slideshow problems!
    You need to save the slideshow project in order to be able to go back later and make changes or additions to an existing slideshow . The wmv file is a final output format.
    Now you are most probably using only the Output command: that is what makes the wmv file.
    You should also do the Save Project command. (and I make it a practice to do the Save Project command before I do the Output command).
    If you look at the Elements Organizer 8 Help, there is a topic on "Create a slide show".
    -- Very close to the beginning of that topic is a screen shot of the Sldie Show Editor screen,
    -- The bar below the usual menu bar is labeled with a "B" and called the Shortcuts bar.
    -- The 1st entry on that Shortcuts bar is "Save Project"
    It is the Save Project command that saves the information about which photos, audio, etc you placed in that specific slide show so that you can come back again to do subsequent editing.  Save each Project with a unique name.
    After completing the Save Project command, you shoud see an "icon" in the Organizer for that slide show.
    Note:  you must also keep the photo files and audio files which you have used in this slide show: you can't delete them because the project file does NOT contain a copy of the photos, it only has the identification and folder location of the photo and audio files.

  • HT5824 I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off..

    I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. I have no problem sending the text messages but I'm not receivng any from iPhones at all. It has been about a week now that I'm having this problem. I've already tried fixing it myself and I also went into the sprint store, they tried everything as well. My last option was to contact Apple directly. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off so that I can receive my texts.

    If you registered your iPhone with Apple using a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it.  Also, try changing the password associated with the Apple ID that you were using for iMessage.

  • Please help with "You can't open the application NovamediaDiskSupressor because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." I have seen other responses on this but am not a techie and would not know how to start with that solution.

    Please help with the message I am receving on startup ""You can't open the application NovamediaDiskSupressor because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
    I have read some of the replies in the Apple Support Communities, but as I am no techie, I would have no idea how I would implement that solution.
    Please help with what I need to type, how, where, etc.
    Many thanks
    AppleSueIn HunterCreek

    I am afraid there is no solution.
    PowerPC refers to the processing chip used by Apple before they transferred to Intel chips. They are very different, and applications written only for PPC Macs cannot work on a Mac running Lion.
    You could contact the developers to see if they have an updated version in the pipeline.

  • [ETL]Could you please help with a problem accessing UML stereotype attributes ?

    Hi all,
    Could you please help with a problem accessing UML stereotype attributes and their values ?
    Here is the description :
    -I created a UML model with Papyrus tool and I applied MARTE profile to this UML model.
    -Then, I applied <<PaStep>> stereotype to an AcceptEventAction ( which is one of the element that I created in this model ), and set the extOpDemand property of the stereotype to 2.7 with Papyrus.
    -Now In the ETL file, I can find the stereotype property of extOpDemand as follows :
    s.attribute.selectOne(a|a.name="extOpDemand") , where s is a variable of type Stereotype.
    -However I can't access the value 2.7 of the extOpDemand attribute of the <<PaStep>> Stereotype. How do I do that ?
    Please help
    Thank you

    Hi Dimitris,
    Thank you , a minimal example is provided now.
    Version of the Epsilon that I am using is : ( Epsilon Core 1.2.0.201408251031 org.eclipse.epsilon.core.feature.feature.group Eclipse.org)
    Instructions for reproducing the problem :
    1-Run the uml2etl.etl transformation with the supplied launch configuration.
    2-Open lqn.model.
    There are two folders inside MinimalExample folder, the one which is called MinimalExample has 4 files, model.uml , lqn.model, uml2lqn.etl and MinimalExampleTransformation.launch.
    The other folder which is LQN has four files. (.project),LQN.emf,LQN.ecore and untitled.model which is an example model conforming to the LQN metamodel to see how the model looks like.
    Thank you
