Sharing a FAT32-formatted MP3 player between two MACs

I have an old iRiver H140 MP3 player (still going strong) that I want to mount on two mac machines (a mini and a mbp) over a network.
Currently, only one machine sees it (mini that is attached to it). The mbp is able to mount the the mini's hdd but not the h140.
I don't want to format my H140 player to HFS+ as I am afraid of losing MP3 playback functionality when I go out with it (or maybe I won't?).
I tried using PointShare, but to no avail. Suggestions?

I used SharePoints for this.
Launch SharePoints and make sure that the "Windows SMB Sharing" (button on bottom right) is enabled. Drag the fat32 volume onto the application window (your iRiver in your case) give the share a new name and click on "Create New Share" button. Next launch System Preferences > Sharing and enable "Windows Sharing" on the machine the iRiver is attached. To be on the safe side go into Applications/Utilities on both macs launch the Directory Access application, click on the padlock icon to unlock it, double-click on the SMB/CIFS entry and make sure that both macs are on the same workgroup, i.e. that the workgroup entry is the same. Then from the finder click on Go > Connect to Server... Connect to the mac to which the iRiver is attached via SMB:
smb://ip address of the mac with iRiver
In the pop up that will appear you should be able to see the share you created with SharePoints earlier. Click OK type in the password of the mac with the iRiver and click OK again. That should hopefully do it.

  • How do I share files between two Macs on my wireless network?

    I have an iMac G4 and an ibook G3 on a wireless network. I have "file sharing" activated on both computers. (Also Appletalk, which may or may not be a misguided move, but I got the idea from OSX "Help.")
    When I try to get from either computer onto the other, my computer is recognized by name (another alternative is to log on as a "guest"). I'm prompted for a password. None of the passwords I use works. I've tried the administrative passwords for both computers.
    How do I get beyond this hurdle to share files? I've posted elsewhere to no avail. This must be an easy one. How do you share files between two macs on one network?

    Do your accounts on the machines have the same short name? It's an issue I've seen a few names.. one machine with bsmith, the other with bobsmith, but the long names for both being "Bob Smith". The login windows would confuse users because it showed their names, but because the short names didn't match, it wouldn't work.
    The password you should use is the administrative one, so I don't know why you're not having luck.

  • Can I sync iphoto library between two Mac's?

    I have two Macs (an iMac and a Macbook Pro) and want to sync the iPhoto (6.0.6) library between the two so whenever I change one the other is updated. I thought about using iDisk but my library is apx 5gb. I am new to Macs- is there a utility built into OSX 10.4.9 or hopefully some freeware or very-cheap ware... preferably automated. Thank you very much.

    No you cannot sync an iPhoto library between two macs. If you do you will corrupt the iPhoto Library file. iPhoto is a consumer level app, and this feature is not supported.
    What you can do is share the photos but not the library. Each machine will need to have it's own library file.
    The easiest way to do it this is to enable sharing (in the iPhoto Preferences) on both machines (one sharing the library, the other looking for the share). When you do this the shared library will appear in the Source (or left-hand) pane and pics can be dragged from that to the library in the other machine.

  • Communication between two Macs Server

    Communication between two Macs Server:
    Can they work together and communicate and interact normally in a PowerMac network, OS X 10.5.8 Server installed, and a MacPro computer that is running Server 4.0.3 on Yosemite? Had to do some additional implementation?

    from the JavaDocs:
    http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/api/javax/servlet/ServletContext.html
    getContext
    public ServletContext getContext(java.lang.String uripath)
    Returns a ServletContext object that corresponds to a specified URL on the server.
    This method allows servlets to gain access to the context for various parts of the server, and as needed obtain RequestDispatcher objects from the context. The given path must be begin with "/", is interpreted relative to the server's document root and is matched against the context roots of other web applications hosted on this container.
    In a security conscious environment, the servlet container may return null for a given URL.
    Parameters:
    uripath - a String specifying the context path of another web application in the container.
    Returns:
    the ServletContext object that corresponds to the named URL, or null if either none exists or the container wishes to restrict this access.

  • Transferring applications between two Macs in different locations?

    What is the easiest way to copy an application between two Macs? I originally installed a graphics program on my old eMac G4, then used the Migration Assistant to transfer it to my new iMac G5. I then reinitialized the old G4 and didn't bother to reinstall the graphics program, but now I would like to have it on this machine as well and I can't find the original install disk for this application. Complicating matters is that the machines are now in two different places, one at home, one at work. This is an expensive program, so I would hate to have to buy another copy and am kicking myself for not being able to find it. Thanks for any help...

    If you can't find the original install disk for the program, contact the program vendor. Some may offer you a replacement disk for a nominal fee. And be sure to follow whatever license agreement you have for the purchase of that software. If it can't be installed at both home and at work, and you can't afford another copy of that program, you may want to seek a cheaper alternative.

  • Sync folders between two Macs

    Howdy,
    I want Mail on two of my Macs to be in sync. I have a lot of rules set up and once the rules are applied the mail is sorted in local folders so it disappears from the inbox. This of course causes it to no longer be available on the other Mac.
    Looking for an application that can sync files I select between two Macs whenever a change is detected on either of them, in this case my Mail folder and peferences. This can go directly or through an OS X server that's running 24/7. I don't want to move my folders to the mailserver but keep them local.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    I've had a Macbook Pro for about a year and a half and love it so much that this Christmas I decided to buy myself a second Mac. I got a refurbished 24 inch iMac and just set it up last night. During the setup it occurred to me that there are certain folders on both computers (documents, pictures, audio, downloads, etc) that I would like to have available and synchronized between both computers. I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to do this. Does this functionality exist in Snow Leopard?
    no. not unless you want to use a command line tool like rsync.
    If not, are there any 3rd party apps that will solve my problem?
    you can use Chronosync or ForkLift. also,you can sync not directly between computers but via a cloud. there are many services that do that. there is apple's own mobileme. another very popular one is DropBox.
    Thank you for reading.

    If both computers are using OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion, use AirDrop to send files wirelessly to those near you.

  • Sync iphone between two macs

    How do I sync my iphone between two macs. An imac at home and a macbook pro. I want them to work equally if possible
    thanks

    I want to be able to sync my iphone to both the imac and the macbook pro. Everything equally. Apps, music, photos etc.
    When I updated to ios, using the macbook pro, it wiped everything out. I had to go to my imac and do a restore from a previous version to get things back. I want both macs to be equal when I synch with them.
    Can I do this?
    thanks

  • How to transfer files between two Macs via Firewire cable?

    I heard you can transfer selected files between two Macs running Tiger. I'm not talking about setting up a new Mac w. files from an older one, if that's different? Can someone enlighten me on this or point me to a "how-to" link? Thanks.

    Yes, you pretty much just drag and drop or copy and paste depending on which way you like better. It is pretty much like connecting an external hard drive. Just find the files you want and copy them over to your other computer.
    This is one of my favorite features from Macs. It's very simple to do and because it's Firewire even large files transfer over very quickly.

  • ICal Sync between two macs

    Is there a way to sync iCal between two macs without having a .Mac account?
    Thanks,
    "D"

    As far as backing up your calendars, I use the A/S below (scheduled daily) to backup my calendars. It places a copy of (~/Library/Calendars) in your (~/Library) folder.
    Can be modified to locate the backup to an external drive if desired.
    --pick up directory path
    set WhoAmI to ((path to library folder from user domain) as string)
    set the_date to date string of (current date)
    tell application "Finder"
         --make our backup folder if necessary
         if not (exists folder (WhoAmI & "CalBackup")) then
              make new folder with properties {name:"CalBackup"} at folder WhoAmI
         end if
         delete every folder of folder (WhoAmI & "CalBackup")
         delay 3
         make new folder with properties {name:the_date} at folder (WhoAmI & "CalBackup")
         duplicate files of folder (WhoAmI & "Calendars") to folder (WhoAmI & "CalBackup:" & the_date)
         --check file sizes
         set FileList to every file of folder (WhoAmI & "CalBackup:" & the_date)
         repeat with ThisFile in FileList
              set TheSize to (size of ThisFile) / 1024
              if TheSize < 0.2 then display dialog ((name of ThisFile) as string) & " may be empty" with icon caution
         end repeat
    end tell
    Copy the script and paste it into your Script Editor. I saved it as an app called "iCal Backup" which I schedule to run daily.
