Share a file with iChat Theater

I can share a jpeg picture by drag/drop the jpg icon on picture of person in my video conference and he receives it immediately. When I do this there are two window options superimposed on his picture, one to Send the File and the other iChat Theater. When I drag a short film clip, 13 mb, I only get the Send the File option. I tried using the iChat File menu "Share a File with iChat Theater" When I select the short film clip title the share button is active for a half second and then the Window indicates that the file can NOT be shared on iChat Theater. At one time I believe before 10.5.3 I could send film clips. I do receive film clips from others and view in iChat Theater.

Hi,
This seems to have crept in at about 10.5.2
I certainly used to be able to do it on my G4 but not any longer.
I thought it was related to trying out PowerBoost and iGlasses but I have fully deleted those and deleted the .plists to make sure iChat is not looking for them.
I have no work around.

We need it to be acceptable to all devices.

How do I privately share Keynote file with PC user?

How do I privately share Keynote file with PC user? ShareFile is having trouble with Keynote support. iWork is no longer functioning and I can't tell if ICloud supports this feature. When I export to a Powerpoint all links are lost. It will take me hours to redo in SkyDrive Powerpoint.
Need solution!

I use dropbox

Sharing with others but only allow author and co-author to share the file with others

I have tested this option but have difficults to have the proper function.
If a co-author recieves a link to the document that the author has shared with him.
What is the mechanism that hinders this person to read that file that the co-author has send him.
I have been playing with myself in diffrent roles but running out of mail adresses and understanding.....
Please give an explanation.
regards

In the sharing dialog (where you enter the email addresses) there is a link at the bottom that says "More options". This is where you can adjust the re-sharing options. Default is "Everyone the file is shared with can share it with others (at their own role or lower). The other option is "Only let co-authors share this file with others."
After the file has already been shared you can change the sharing options by doing the following:
Select the file in the Acrobat.com organizer (files tab)
Select share file (either in the lower left of the window or select Share Document from the drop down menu)
Click on Change options at the bottom of the menu that slides up from bottom left
Co-authors have the same rights as an author and there is currently not a setting to prevent co-authors from sharing. If they do not need to have the same rights as an author, try changing them to a reviewer or reader and changing the share option to "Only let co-authors share this file with others."
You can find more information about the different roles here.
If I've misunderstood your question, please post again.

Ichat 4.05: Why can't I share an m4v file in ichat Theater?

I was trying to share a video that I purchased off of iTunes via iChat Theater, but all that appears is a gray screen. The file is an MPEG-layer 4 video file labeled .m4v. I checked to make sure that it was compatible with QuickTime (as that is the only outline set forth for video files in iChat help). Does any one have ANY advice on this issue?! It is frustrating, because the reason I bought the video on iTunes was to share it, and now it doesn't work! I tried converting the file using iSquint (a third party program) to no avail! It confuses me because the 'logo' of the file, unlike other mp4s, looks like an audio file (uses the itunes logo), instead of a video, but as I said it plays fine on iTunes, QuickTime, and my ipod. What is going on here?
Thanks!

This turned out to be a case of asking the wrong question. Our file server was changed from an AFP to SMB but the problem I was having was due to the fact that folder names had also been changed (dog knows why). Makes me wish there was a way to delete the whole question.

How can I share a file with another mac computer?

I would like to send a file to my girlfriends computer. A macbook pro. I have a macbook. Can you tell me how to do this? Is it with file sharing, or blue tooth or something else. I is a logic .aif file.
Thanks

Hi,
There does seem to be a presumption in the other reply that your girlfriend is living with you.
A File transfer via Bonjour would then work.
Also the File Sharing in System Preferences > Sharing would cause her computer to show up on your Finder's side bar as a Share.
With iChat if you both have AIM Login names you could still do File Transfers.
(It is slightly more complicated if you have Jabber ID logged in alothough not impossible).

Can I use Icloud to store and share other files, with other Mac users?

Hello, I was just wondering if I could use iCloud to store and share files with other Mac users over the internet? Thanks!

I would suggest re posting in the iCloud for Mac forum where all the people in here that are experts with that hang out. Good luck.

Not useful if you can't share a file with another person

Seems hard to test this beta if the users that I invite to
share a file aren't allowed into the beta program. I would like to
test this service with remote employees, but they are being refused
access when I invite them. Are there more opening soon?

Following up from my previous reply. The Share beta service
has now been opened up and is accepting additional users.

How to best share PP files with a FCP editor?

I'm working with an editor who has FCP but not PP. I'm doing the preliminary edits in PP and then he steps in and does the more intricate work but again, using FCP. What is the best way to make this work?
Thank you!!

I've asked a similar question before, with no better options. so let me ask a couple follow-ups.
Kurt, if his goal is just to trim clips (with or without some length handles), will the EDL handle that?
My issue has been a client who does much of her own basic editing of DV footage in iMovie, and we couldn't find a file type that PP (CS3) liked. And she'd like a file back at times. The resolution has been for her to output to DV tape and for me to recapture. Works fine for our purpose, but there ought to be a better way.
Also re CS4 sharing files with mac/non PP users, did 4.1 fix the QT AME/export issues?

How do i share a file with another user

i want to give my editor access to pdf file saved on my iCloud drive and have no idea how to do it

Sorry, I forgot - if you created the PDF with iWork (Pages, Numbers, Keynote), you could share the source in iCloud however instead of the PDF:

Share automator file with other MAC users

I created an automator file to rename a group of files.
It works correctly in my MAC
If I transfer this file to other MAC users via DMG file will it work on their machines 10.6.8 and 10.7.5

It really depends on what actions are compatable to theirs. Can you upload a screen shot of your workflow?
I use Automator a lot and share with a lot of people with macs.

I need to share a file with sec.(windows based). She uses it all the time. I need to just download updated version every few days. I have an old airport extreme and was hoping to attach an external drive. Will this work?

I need to download an updated version of a file every few days to use. My secretary works on the file all the time. I thought i could use my old airport extreme and attach an external HD and set up a network to do just this. At work we alll use pc's. How can i make this work? At the moment we use usb stick to transfer which is getting to be a bit of a pain as the file grows every week. Presently 5GB.

I thought i could use my old airport extreme and attach an external HD and set up a network to do just this.
Yes, you can use either the 802.11g or 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) to attach an external USB HDD for file sharing. Either AEBS model would allow you to share out this HDD to either Macs or PCs. From the PC, the shared HDD would appear as a network drive which you can map via Windows Explorer.

How do I share some files with another Mac?

My main computer is an iMac Intel Processor, iOS 10.10.2. I'd like to have one folder of files that can be accessed and edited via a Macbook. But I don't want the Macbook to have access to all of the files on the iMac.

File Sharing With OS X 10.5 - Share Mac Files with Windows Vista

I am a new user of iMac and I was finally able to connect to my home network with the help of this web site:
http://macs.about.com/od/macwindows/ss/sharemacfilesvs.htm
Thanks to Tom Nelson of About Macs.com, I previously had to search the Apple Support pages for help with this to no avail. Then I called the Apple Express case # 232117496 and spent 1-hour on the phone with the tech who could not solve the problem. He finally said it was something to do with my Windows network setting indicating that it probably had a stealth password set. I did not agree and was finally able to get help from About.com. I will be adding this site for future issues with Macs, thanks Tom

I reset my TC and everything was wonderful.

What is the best way to export/share GarageBand files with a non-mac user?

I have some GB2 files, too big to email, that I want a client to hear and give direction. then I can make the changes and re-export them for him to hear again. What is the best way to do this? IMac seems to be forthcoming about sharing pictures and IMovies but not music files, for understandable reasons. Thanks.

Here's one way, but be sure you understand the privacy policy!
