Secondary drive sharing across network between 10.3.9 and 10.4.6 OS's

4 machines, A,B,C,D.
"A"&"B" OSX 10.3.9
"C"&"D" OSX 10.4.6
"A" has a secondary ATA (bay B) interal drive and several firewires
ATA manufactuer SEAGATE ST3250823AS
FIREWIRES from lacie and smartdisk
"B" sees all drives mounted on machine "A" and can R/W
Machines "C" and "D" can only see the primary ATA drive from machine "A"
Apple support suggested checking for updated 10.4.6 firmware on non-apple supplied hard-drives (secondary ATA and firewires listed on apple store). Done. Firmware was up to date. It appears that there is a cross OS bug with sharing secondary drives.
Our options at this time appear to be:
1) Upgrade A and B to OS 10.4.6
We have adapated custom unix based software to 10.3.9 and functionality in 10.4.6 is unknown. Since the unix package is sensitive, woudl rather not upgrade the older systems.
2) Downgrade C and D to OS 10.3.9
Can this even be done?
3) Get them talking without OS changes
This would be ideal.
Your thoughts and support are much appreciated.
Thank you

Hello djacouma,
How are your G5s networked? Give us a detailed description of your network...
How are A's drives shared? (NFS, AFP, FTP etc)?
1) Upgrade A and B to OS 10.4.6
We have adapated custom unix based software to 10.3.9 and functionality in 10.4.6 is unknown. Since the unix package is sensitive, woudl rather not upgrade the older systems.
No way, since you run custom unix software, upgrading to 10.46 hoping that it may work is unacceptable
Did you really get such an answer from Apple?
(Hopefully) We'll find a solution to share your drives...

Full networking between 10.4.10 and 10.3.9

Just got a Macbook Pro running 10.4.10. We also have a G4 tower (733MHz) running 10.3.9. The G4 has a 40GB hard drive and a 120GB had drive. The larger one has our itunes and iphoto libraries on it. We have a cable modem and wireless router (all in one) that we use to connect to the internet. The Pro connects wirelessly and the tower connects with a cable.
I would like to establish a network that allows me to connect to all the files that are on the 40GB as well as access my iphoto and itunes libraries (maybe even transfer them to the laptop) that are on the 120 GB.
Is this possible? I've tried the file sharing preferences pane and the tower can see the laptop but the laptop can't connect to the tower.
Another wrench to throw in! We also have a windows xp laptop that connects wirelessly - anyway to get that hooked in as well?

Is the 120GB Internal or External?
10.4.10 to 10.3.9 should be no problem, are you certain the Router doesn't hand out different IP ranges for Wired and Wireless? Some do, are the IPs of all computers the same in the 1st three digits?
Have you tried connecting via IP, as in from the Finder's GO menu>Connect to Server, then enter afp://ip.of.g4.mac?
iTunes also has a Preference for sharing tunes with other Computers.

Setting up a network between MacOS X Mavericks and Windows 8

Hi,
I searched the internet for some working instructions to set up a network between above mentioned computers. Until now non of the instructions I followed did work, so I like to have an instruction specialy written for above OS's, can someone provide me with a reliable instruction ?? Both computers are up to date, and believing some of the guys ( and girls) online it must be very easy to set up a network, until now I never succeeded in a PC to PC connection, so let's hope for the best in a PC to Mac connection.
JohnMGD.

LowLuster,
I did what you wrote above, I see the Mac now on my Windows machine, BUT, when I click in Windows on iMac it asks for a Network password and username, which username is meant ? and which password ? I filled in the password which I use when I start the computer, for both computers the same, but I get an error message. or do I have to make a new uniq username and password somewhere?
When and how do I see the Windows computer on my iMac ?

Sharing across network with Vista

iTunes on my new computer with Vista can see iTunes library on older XP machine on my family network, but no "arrow" appears next to library name, and when I select the shared library, it just disappears. I'm sure I missed something. Anyone got any insight?
Thanks

I had the same problem, installed Bonjour on the windows computer and was able to print right away... no reboot required using the generic driver for a canon mp470 printer on the mac pro.
Thanks!

Home sharing across networks

Is there any way to enable Home Sharing with a computer on an external network? I have a mac at work that I'd love to be able to synchronize with my home computer. It's already authorized. Do I need to setup port forwarding on my router? Will it even work?

Ext Hard Drive Shared on Network - How to Keep Mounted when I Log Out?

I have a USB external hard drive set up as a network share. If I log out of the computer, I lose that share on the network. Is there a way to keep that drive from "auto-unmounting" when I log out of the computer it is attached to, so that it remains accessible to the other computers on the network? Thanks.

I doubt it, but its a simple matter to drag the disk drive's icon to your Dock and click on it in order to mount it (that's what I do). You could also set up a simple Apple Script or Automator action to mimic that behavior.

Sharing across network

I have several computers on my home network, some mac and some pc. Can I share info and connect to other computers on the network? Or, just the ones that are mac?
Also, when I'm at work, can I access my home network to get files off my iMac? How is this done?
Thank you,

Sharing a printer between 10.4 PB and OS 9.2 iMac- impossible????

Hello!
I have a set-up here in my dorm room, where i have my 15" PB G4, running tiger, connected to an HP Inkjet 5150. However, i just got my old G3 iMac DV (400 mhz G3, 192ram, 60GB, 9.2.2) up and running, and would like to be able to print without physically switching the printer between the two computers. (you ought to see this tangle of cables on my desk!)
Both machines have the current driver for the printer, and both can print when the printer is directly connected.
Both computers can be connected to the school's LAN via Ethernet OR AIrport.
I have looked through every article in both Tiger's and OS 9's help, and the apple website... i've tried everything, nothing has worked. I assume that's because they are written for an isolated system, while both machines are connected to a LAN.
I also know nothing whatsoever about how our LAN is set up - just how to connect. I do know that both machines are connected to a router somewhere.
I'm willing to do one of three things:
1. Connect the printer to my PB, and share with my iMac. (preferable, since most printing will be from my powerbook.
2. Connect the printer to my iMac, and share it with my PB.
3. If such a thing is possible, i can connect both machines via USB (must get cable first), or FireWire in a sort of target-mode connection. I doubt there's any way to do that, with either FireWire or USB.
The best case will take into account how compatible os 9 is with OS X. Seems OS 9 has trouble talking to X, but maybe not the other way around...
I would like to connect them via Airport, if possible, since a direct connection by airport is much more reliable than the ethernet LAN here (rennovations in the dorm mean intermittent ethernet), and for security reasons, i don't want everyone in the building being able to see my prints. (especially if i can encrypt the connection!)
if any of you have experience doing this, please let me know!
Thanks,
Dan
15" Powerbook G4, iMac G3 DV (9.2.2) Mac OS X (10.4.4) 512 Ram

huh!?
It seems to be solved!
I first connected to a Computer-to-Computer network, via airport, with file sharing on, and then made a new desktop printer. I selected the second printer profile: LaserWriter Color 12/600 PS-J, whatever that means.
What is really odd is that although it started working once i connected the two, the IP of the printer is actually the IP of my PB via Ethernet! (the Airport number has 2 different digits) That means that it's actually going through the LAN.
Why do you think that is?
I've tried printing in two differnet apps: Photoshop Limited 5, and MS Word 98. So far, no problem! I wish there was a way to choose how much ink it puts down, as it uses a ton, but at least it prints!
Thanks! Your suggestion led me to the proper way to set it up, even if it wasn't the exact setting. I'll continue to mess with it over the next few days, to make sure it continues to work, and i don't have any more questions.
-Dan
PS: If i was to connect the printer to my iMac, how would i share the connection with my PB? Now that i know it's going over LAN, i can test it out while i'm in differnet parts of campus, it works that way, that is.

Shared review feature between Acrobat 9 pro and Adobe Reader???

I have a question about Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro & the Shared Review feature. I hope that it allows me to take a pdf document, share it with others that only have the free Adobe Reader (not Standard or Pro Acrobat), and allow them to markup the document and send it back to me so I can save the new marked up pdf document. Is that what Shared Review does, or do the others have to also own a paid copy of some Acrobat program (Standard, Pro, etc.)?
Thanks in advance!

That’s correct. Others can participate using Reader in the shared reviews.

Sharing a Printer between XP and Windows 7 computers on a Wireless Network

Does anyone know if you can share a printer on a home network between a windows 7 and an XP SP3 computer?
I had a wireless netowork set up at home with an XP desktop hardwired to a cable modem and a printer with USB connection. I also had an XP laptop with wireless connection to the Internet. I was able to share files between the two compters and remotely connect to the printer (a recently purchased HP Photosmart C4600 series) from the laptop. Everything was fine until I had to replace the desktop.
I replaced the desktop with a laptop running windows 7. The first problem I had was the new laptop would not connect to the Internet through the existing newtork - neither hardwired or wireless. The problem turned out to be my existing router so I replaced it and the new laptop now connects to the Internet. I set up a new network.
The problem I am having is remotely connecting to the printer with the XP laptop. I have the printer connected to the windows 7 laptop via USB (it is not a wireless printer) and have gone through and set both computers to the same workgroup, turned on file and printer sharing and have tried everything I have read on the microsoft forums including turning on UDP and TCP ports. I turned off firewalls and uninstalled CA security software to eliminate any potential unseen conflicts. I even tired connecting the printer to the XP thinking windows 7 might be "smarter" than XP and I could print remotely from the windows 7 computer. That didn't work either.
I can see the XP computer and access shared folders from the windows 7 computer and vice versa. If I physically connect the XP laptop to the printer via USB I can print so I know the drivers are OK.
The printer icon appears when I bring up the Printers and Faxes window on the XP computer and I am able to view the queue and even change options when I go into Properties. It shows it is selected as the default.
When I try to print remotely from the XP computer I get a message "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current priter setup" - then it lists 3 thing s to try which I have done. I also went through the XP printer troubleshooter program which was a dead end.
HELP!

If networking isn't working out for you, you may want to try out a swtich. Best Buy sells one by IOGEAR that allows for two USB connections to tie into one computer. So long as windows 7 can either download its own driver for the printer for basic features, or if you want to download canon's driver this solution will work. The only draw back is having to bring the laptop near the printer when you need to print.

Wish to create network between PC and Mac

Hi, I wish to make a network between my iMac G5 and my PC running XP Pro. As soon as I plugged in the pc into my router I instantly got internet on my pc. So how do I make a network to exchange files, and share printers, and dvd drives. One of the things I want to do is use Popcorn 2 to burn a DVD but since I don't have a burner on my mac I want it to burn on my Windows PC (with the mac software).

Welcome to the discussions!
"I want it to burn on my Windows PC (with the mac software)."
You can't use the Mac's software to burn a DVD on your PC. You can create a disk image, then bring that over to your PC on the network and burn it on the PC, but that will require the software to be on the PC for that. I think that is what you meant anyway, but I wanted to make sure.
Networking your Mac and PC is really not that hard to do. The Apple guides are not as clear as they could be, so start with Joel Shoemaker and Felix. They have some excellent step by step instructions and are very easy to follow.
For printer sharing, you might also need third party, open source drivers. Depending on the connection - on the PC or the Mac - and the printer brand they can be found in any number of places.
Give those pages a look and if you have anything specific that comes up, be sure to post back here and we can walk you through it.

Network between Vista and Mac

i'm trying to create a network between a Vista desktop and my Macbook Pro for files and printer sharing.
after lots work with setting on Vista, I now can enter in MacbookPro folders from Vista. the problem is by Mac side: i can't find the printer connect on Vista (and shared), and the icon of PC don't appear on Finder, so i can't enter on Vista's folders. the problem with file sharing is strange, cause only one time, today, icon of PC was appeared on Finder (come back to Stop of Mac)..... i've traied with the same method another times, without success...
I don't now what to do. I hope someone help me

I have limited knowledge but will try to help you as I have battled through this myself recently...You will lose nothing if you give it a try!
In System Preferences open the Sharing folder. Check the boxes to enable 'File' & 'Printer' Sharing. In the same open window select 'Options'.. Here I have Share files and folders using AFB and (importantly) also Share files and folders using SMB. - 'on' should be checked and 'Account' should i believe be the name assigned to your Macbook. - select 'Done' and then also close the 'sharing' window in sys preferences to take you back to the desktop.
In 'Finder' select the 'Go' option in the toolbar. Select connect to server from the drop down menu. You now need to enter the server address which will be the name of your Vista Pc - enter as follows: smb://(your vista name).. you may have to also enter the password for the Vista machine if it is configured in this way. ( It has been a while since I completed this so a little rusty here!)
If you have entered the correct information when you hit 'Connect', your Macbook should find your Vista desktop that has previously not been appearing in your Macbook 'Sharing' section - this was the issue that I was originally experiencing. You should now see the Vista machine in the Sharing section of your Macbook.
If this has been successful to here... This will enable access to try to solve the printer sharing problem? I think this one is beyond me as there are so many different configurations/installation options dependent upon the type of printer and network configurations.
It is possible to configure your Macbook to automatically find your Vista machine at startup if it is not found as a matter of course, which I perceive to be the case here... Try this to automate connection at startup..
Go to Sys Preferences and sect 'Accounts' you may have to enter your password to initiate changes. Making the assumption that you are connected now to your Vista machine and it is showing in the 'Shared' section of 'Finder'- select the 'Login Items' option and then select the '+' under where it states 'To hide an application when you log in etc etc.
From the window that opens you will now select your Vista machine from the left hand folders menu. when done click 'Add' and close windows to return to your desktop. Re-start the Macbook to check whether the Vista machine will now load to the Mac automatically at startup.
I hope this works for you as it has for me - The non discovery of the vista machine by the Mac was driving me round the bend
