Problem using File Sharing to access files from my old emac.

I have a new imac and I'm trying to share files with my older emac. I can access my imac files from my old emac through File Sharing, but I can't seem to access the old emac files from my imac. On my imac I can get to the Drop Box folder through File Sharing, but when I try to open the Drop Box folder I get this error message "The folder “Drop Box” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents." What do I need to do to be able to open the Drop Box folder? Where do I need to go to change the permissions so that I can open the Drop Box folder?
Thanks in advance,
George

The easiest way is when you connect, connect as the admin user and you'll be able to access the entire user folder (and more). So (depending on the version of OS) select "connect as..." then put in the username and password of the user you are connecting to (so the details of the eMac you are connecting to). This should allow you to access the entire user folder.
If you select any folder or file, then press command+i (or 'get info' from the file menu in finder), it will launch a window with more info about the file/folder. At the bottom of the window you have "sharing and permissions" - in here you can (after unlocking with admin username and password) add permissions for your user.
The dropbox is usually used to transfer to a machine - so you'd generally use it to drop something from anywhere on your eMac into the dropbox on the iMac, and then you can recover it from the dropbox on the iMac. The permissions are set so anyone from the outside can only write to this folder.

HT201250 I have done my back up using time machine, now I have a new mac and I need to access the files that I had saved from my old mac. How can I do that?

Use Migration Assistant on your new Mac:
Click Continue:
On the next screen, choose your Time Machine backup disk.
Don't bother to migrate Applications unless you know they will work on your new Mac. For example, PowerPC applications won't work. Just migrate your user account which will copy all your photos, music, movies, and other documents.
Note: you will not be able to migrate the information to same account in which you are already logged in. Migration Assistant will tell you that and recommend what to do. It can migrate the information to a new account, but you will have to give it a name you might want to change later. One way around this is to create a temporary account, log in to it, and run Migration Assistant which will replace your normal account. Then, log out of the temporary account, log in to your usual one, verify everyting works as you expect, and delete the temporary one.
All this can be avoided when you set up a brand new Mac by running Setup Assistant which essentially does the same thing to create your new account, but most people are too excited to do that and elect to migrate later.

Hello there Karen,
It sounds like you are having to power cycle your modem to get internet back every single day. We can start by troubleshooting your Airport Express to help isolate the issue. I would first perform a Soft Reset, then test the issue again. If needed as a last resort I would then perform a Hard Reset:
Soft reset
Connect the device to power and wait for it to complete its start up process. To learn more about the start up process, please see All about Wi-Fi base station Status Lights (LED).
Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip for 1 full second, then release it. The light (LED) will begin flashing amber, indicating that the device is in soft reset mode.
From the AirPort menu bar item, choose the network created by the device (the network name does not change).
Open AirPort Utility from Applications > Utilities.
Select the base station, then click Edit (The Edit window will indicate that the base station is in Soft Reset mode).
Move through the tabs to make changes to your passwords or other settings as needed, and click Update and Continue as required
Quit AirPort Utility.
Hard reset
Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about five seconds.
Release the button and the device will reset.
Wait about a minute for the base station to finish restarting, then open AirPort Utility from Applications > Utilities.
Select the base station from Other Wi-Fi Devices, then click Edit.
Select the Other Options button.
Select "Restore previous settings" and click Next until you get to the final window.
AirPort Utility will indicate that Setup is complete. Click Done.
Quit AirPort Utility.

I think you meant but "not" on effects tab. Were you able to before? Try trashing your preference files. you can do this by hand or use the free program, Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion.

I have been buying apps for a long time without a problem using my credit card on file. All of a sudden itunes is not recognizing my card which is in good standing. All the info is correct but itunes/apple says it doesn't match the bank info. Any ideas

I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved

I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved to emails. Help! How do I get my iPhoto back?

Thanks, Sig.
The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem. Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page. Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them.
(I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

Why did I have to enable Windows File Sharing to share files between two Mavericks iMacs?

File Sharing failed between my Mavericks iMacs. The console logs showed that the target iMac saw the ntlmv2 protocol as unknown to the kdc. I fixed it by enabling Windows File Sharing on the target Mavericks iMac. I had tried disabling SMB on both iMacs and leaving AFP on, but then nothing happened when I tried to connect. Why did I have to enable Windows File Sharing to share files between two Mavericks iMacs?

When you enable file sharing you need to have either SMB (Windows) or AFP (historically Apple-native) file sharing checked. The default in Mavericks is SMB, and not AFP.
If you uncheck both, then the system will turn off file sharing. Apple supports the use of both SMB and AFP connections in Mavericks, so with only AFP enabled you should have been able to establish a connection, but there could be a small bug or configuration-specific snafu that you're encountering.
With AFP enabled only, try pressing Command-K in the Finder to open the Connect To Server dialogue, and in here enter the address to the system using afp:// as the protocol, such as the following (the name can be looked up in the Sharing system preferences):
afp://my_imac.local

New user here. Trying to import iPhoto 9.4.2 libraries into Aperture 3.4.3 as referenced files. When accessing File Import Library, it finds the iPhoto library just fine, but then imports it as Master files. No option that I can find to leave the photos

New user here. Trying to import iPhoto 9.4.2 libraries into Aperture 3.4.3 as referenced files. When accessing File>Import>Library, it finds the iPhoto library just fine, but then imports it as Master files. No option that I can find to leave the photos in place on the file system. All the literature says their should be an option to choose, but I never get that option. What?

All the literature says their should be an option to choose, but I never get that option.
That has been true for the previous Aperture versions. Now Aperture simply treats the original image files exactly as they are in the imported library. Referenced images will stay referenced, managed will be imported as managed. But you can always relocate the imported managed images afterwards by using "File > Relocate".

My apple tv 2 says I can't stream music from my iTunes library on my iMac without settng up iTunes Match. I don't want to set up iTunes match. How can I get back to the pre-Match system which let me just use home sharing to stream music from computer to A

When I click on the Music tab on my Apple TV 2, a message tells me I have to set up iTunes Match to stream music from my iTunes library on my iMac. I don't want to set up and pay for iTunes Match. How can I get back to the pre-Match system which let me just use home sharing to stream music from computer to Aple TV

Ditto.
You need to look for your itunes library under Computers and select it, then music.
Music column is for web based content not local content, just to confuse everyone.

TS2972 can I use home sharing to transfer iTunes from old computer to new computer?

can I use home sharing to transfer iTunes from old computer to new computer?

You are trying to use home sharing, you are logged into the same account for sharing on both computers (and they are connected to the same wifi network), and what happens when you try to copy your library ? Can you update your iTunes so that they are the same on both ?

I don't have a wireless keyboard or mouse for my 2007 iMac, is there any way that can use remote desktop and access it from my 2010mbp.

Hi champrider,
You can use an application such as Apple Remote Desktop to control your iMac remotely. See this article -
OS X Mavericks: Allow access using Apple Remote Desktop
This help page will provide you with some other useful resources for Apple Remote Desktop -

I have 3 macs. 2 are Lion, 1 I left Snow leopard so I can access data from my old Quicken Application that doesn't work with Lion. If I move to iCloud, will I no longer be able to access my MobileMe email on the Snow Leopard mac?

What version of word do you have? The TS3938 sounds like it's a PowerPC app- written for an old architecture that is no longer supported in Lion. If this is the case, your files are fine- you just need a newer version of word that will run in Lion in order to open them. The newest version (2011) should be readily available anywhere, and has worked fine for me ever since I switched to Lion on release day....

I want to use migration asst to transfer stuff from our old Windows...what do I not want to transfer?

Iwant to use migration asst to transfer stuff from our old Windows PC to this new IMAC. What do I not want to transfder?

QuickBooks for Mac has been available again since at least 2004 (Intuit before that had done nothing with it for years). The current version is QB for Mac 2014. It's pretty much the same price no matter where you look.
The Mac version data is not directly compatible with the Windows version. Sending your data out to your business tax accountant and getting it back in is not at all easy. It's such a pain, our accountant comes here to finalize the books at year end.
There is still also a lot of Windows features for QB Pro which have never been added to the Mac version. They're all on the higher end side that larger businesses would need. I've never run into anything with the Mac version I couldn't do.
If your accountant wants ease of data transfer, then you'd be better off purchasing Snow Leopard Server and run that in Parallels. Then run the Windows version of QB in that.

How do I import emails from my old eMac to iMac G5

I have recently upgraded to an iMac G5. I need to copy all my old emails (3 years worth) from my old eMac to the new computer. What options do I have? I don't want to copy anything else (applications or documents). I use Apple's Mail on both computers. Thanks.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

You're welcome.
If the eMac supports being connected to another Mac via Firewire Target Disk mode (which I believe it does), you can connect both Macs this way for the import and for manually transferring any and all data from the eMac.

Problem using Resource Bundle in XSLT File

Hi All,
I've been trying to use Resource Bundle on my XSLT file with no success for the last 2 weeks. So I would like some help to definitely end this problem.
The fact is that i have a property file that i would like to read and it works fine when i use jsp or a servlet however when i try to call the same property file using my XSL i get the message below:
java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name thoth, locale en_US
Follow the code from my Stylesheet that i'm calling the resource bundle:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:java="java.util.ResourceBundle" exclude-result-prefixes="java" version="1.0">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" version="4.0"/>
<xsl:output encoding="ISO-8859-1"/>
<xsl:template match="page">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates select="paragraph"/>
<xsl:variable name="resources" select="java:getBundle('thoth')"/>
<xsl:value-of select="java:getString($resources,'general.title')"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Please someone could help me why this file cannot be located, I am 100% of sure the property file path is in my classpath since it works fine in a servlet. Should i have to put it some other place? Do i have some other way to read this file and show the information from the file?
I would appreciate any help
thanks in advance and Regards
Fabio

Please someone could help me why this file cannot be located, I am 100% of sure the property file path is in my classpath since it works fine in a servlet.
Is the property file in your classpath? or whether the directory where the property file is residing is in your classpath. Please put only the directory where the property file is located in the classpath and try again.
It may be working fine with the servlet because j2ee servlet containers put the classes and lib directory automatically in the classpath therefore resource bundle gets loaded even without putting it explicitly in the classpath. This doesn't happen when you try to test some component from the console.
Let me know if this does not work.
regards,
Abhishek.
