Sharing all files

I'm connecting my iBook and iMac through Airport and am brand new at this. From reading the discussions here, am I correct that it's not possible to share my files unless they're in the "Shared" folder? I'd like to be able to access my account easily from both but don't know how to do this easily.
Thanks for any help.

The "shared" folder is for sharing files in between two users on the same computer. It's not related to "file sharing" on a network.
If you have turned on "Personal File Sharing" in the Sharing System Preferences and you know your own user's short name and password, you'll be able to access all of your files across an AirPort network.

HT202213 Not sharing all files

How do I 'hide' certain songs on my I Tunes home share that are not appropriate for younger children ( that have access on other devices)?

Network sharing of all files

Looking for the easiest way to set ALL files for sharing. I only have 2 macs on my network, my macBook and my wife's iMac, both running 10.6. I am tired of being on one machine and not being able to get to the shared files on the other. No security problem here as it is just me and my wife. She doesn't ever want my files but when I am on her iMac I want access to ALL of my files on my MacBook. Is there an easy way to set permissions for ALL files as available on my MacBook? The key word here is EASY

don't change any permissions on anything. instead, when you are connecting from your wife's mac to yours, connect as you, not as guest. click on your mac in the sidebar and select 'connect as". in the popup enter your username and passowrd on your macbook and check the box to save the password in the keychain. that's it. from now on you'll automatically connect as you any time you click on the macbook in the sidebar. and since you'll connect as you you'll automatically have access to everything your user on the macbook has access to.

I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library. However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.

I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library. However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.
I don't see anything in Help that shows when you already have transfered all the files over. Why would it want to erase and sync when I already have all the music folder copied over? I didn't have an issue when I had another technician copy from one laptop to another. Home sharing is also on but not being recognized.

I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Questions on organizing/sharing music files on 3 PC networked drive

I just added 1Tb network drive to 3 pc home network... I am planning on moving my iTunes music folder from the older, smaller network drive. I exceeded the 160GB size of the old drive when converting all of the WMA losselss files to Apple lossless while maintaining the old WMA files(I still think the Windows Media Player system is superior). With the new addition to our network, I am planning on the 3 pcs sharing music files... (my wife has been using iTunes for a while, I have just recently went over to the dark side)
What is the best way to organize the files??
-How to shuffle all without the folder of Christmas & Holiday music playing.
-Segregate each users individual files.
Any advice or suggestions are appreciated, I know it would save a lot of time and pain instead of the trial and error method.

Thanks, Jason & Mike. This is how I resolved the problem. Turned out the disk with the data was in NTFS format. Neither my eMac nor my wife's Carbon iMac (prehistoric, in other words) was able to read it, on repeated attempts. In process I discovered (to my surprise) that the external hard drive attached to my eMac (a 320 Gig My Book) was formatted in FAT 32 format, and that the PC laptop (Thinkpad) read from it, and wrote to it, without any problem. (Is FAT 32 less than optimal for use with a pre-Intel Mac?). So I just copied the needed files from the NTFS disk to the FAT 32 disk, via the Thinkpad. When I reconnected the FAT 32 drive to the eMac, it turned out that it was easy [with some fiddling] to put the titles of the new music into the iTunes Library, without having to copy the music itself into iTunes. Making playlists does still seem to have to go manually. Sometimes the "New Playlist from Selection" option automatically gives a name (the original name) to the album from which the music came, sometimes it doesn't. Rationale not clear to me. Other problem: often the sequence is jumbled (this is after I added the whole collection of folders containing music to my iTunes Library in one fell swoop). Usually it was possible to correct this by copying track names for albums one album at a time from the external HD (in Columns view, selecting all the tracks in each folder simultaneously) directly into the playlist; the playlist name then always had to be copied or typed in separately. I don't know if I'm missing an easier route. Also, I see that I have version 4.7.1 of iTunes - I'll download a newer version! Don't know whether newer version will affect what I want to do in a positive sense.

"the path does not exist" error opening shared adobe files on XP machine

We recently upgraded a mac mini from Tiger (10.4.11) to Leopard (10.5.X) we updated to the most recent 10.5.
We have an office with 3 macs and 1 XP.
All users connect to the Mac Mini via SMB sharing.
Everyone Authenticates as the same admin user.
*The XP machine can open and save all file types EXCEPT Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator files.*
They are using CS3.
The mac and XP users could open save and share all files prior to the leopard update.
We used the "Archive and Install" option to upgrade to leopard.
The shared files had the "unknown Group" error which we solved by adding them to the ADMIN group. This step changed the error message the the XP user was receiving.
I have tried many networking fixes, including group policy on windows, turning off IPv6 on the Mini, but we cannot open or save files directly from Illustrator.
When the file
We can move files to the XP desktop then open and save. Files saved on the XP machine can be moved back to the mini and opened directly by all of the Mac users.
Any guesses why this might be occurring?

There are actually two separate error messages received by the windows user when trying to open files off of the Mini.
"the path does not exist" and "this file cannot be found".
This happens when we navigate directly to the file with windows explorer.

In iMovie when I try to share a project to a file on an external hard drive it will work the first time but subsequently it says it is sharing but gives no time and file name and in fact just sits there not sharing the file.

I have iMovie 10.0.4. I want to transfer some old DV tape videos to MPEG 4 files to be stored on a 4 TB external drive. I successfully imported the video to iMovie, created a project by moving all captured files into a project and the first time I shared the project to a file it worked as expected. Every subsequent try to transfer another video would fail to transfer. When I clicked save it gives the warning that it is too big for iCloud, iso I click create on this computer. The progress circle comes up with no indication of progress. The show activity drop down just says sharing to "file" no file name as in the first one and indicates no time remaining. In fact it just sits there apparently doing nothing. I'v tried it a half dozen times, deleted everything and started over. It transfers the first project to file and then nothing on additional tries. What do I have wrong, am I missing something?

Screen sharing and file sharing not working on LAN

This is not a Mavericks specific problem since it existed before I upgraded to Mavericks. I have a LAN that consists of 3 MBPs and 1 MacPro.
Local screen sharing and file sharing works fine on all of these computers except for one MBP. From this MBP I am able to connect to all of the other computers for screen sharing and file sharing. But I can't connect to this particular MBP for screen sharing or file sharing from any of the other Macs.
This MBP shows up in the left hand side column under "Shared" on all the other computers. But I am unable to make a connection from any computer to the problematic MBP. I get the message, "There was a problem connecting to the server "xxxxxxxx". The server may not exist or is unavailable at this time".
I have tried toggling off and on screen sharing and file sharing with no effect. One probably pertinent strange thing that I notice is that under the Screen Sharing set up the green button next to "Screen Sharing:On" is green. But the message under it states:
"Other users can access your computer's screen
at vnc://johnmacbookproretina/ or by looking for “John MacBook Pro” in the Finder sidebar."
The problem is that my computer name is "John MacBook Pro" and the LocalHostName is "JohnMBPr.local". I believe that at some point in the past the computer name and/or LocalHostName was "johnmacbookproretina".
Similiarly, under File Sharing I am informed:
"Other users can access shared folders on this computer, and administrators all volumes, at “afp://johnmacbookproretina” or “smb://johnmacbookproretina”."
I would appreciate any help I could get to resolve this perplexing issue. Thanks.
John

I've finally been able to solve my own problem.
File sharing and screen sharing on the problematic MBP was being blocked by firewall rules that had been set up several weeks ago when I had installed a trial version of DoorStop X firewall software. I had previously trashed the app when the 30 day trial ended. I did not realize that the software had left a set of firewall rules in the Library/StartupItems folder. Among other things, the rules were set to deny access to the computer on the ports used for file sharing and screen sharing. Once I trashed the DoorStopStartup folder in the StartUpItems folder all the connection problems resolved with a computer restart.

Printing all files in a portfolio

Discovered that, if you select the "List View" layout for a portfolio (running Acrobat 9.1.3 on Snow Leopard), you lose the print dialog box option for printing "All Files". Under the "Grid" layout, the "All Files" print option is restored. Pointed this out to tech support, but wanted to save others the headache.

Sharing a folder does give others access to it, but it does not change the permissions of the files inside. Other users can probably read everything, but they can't modify files that they do not own unless the owner of those files has changed the permissions to allow it, or other steps have been taken to provide additional access such as the use of an Access Control List (ACL).
Apple doesn't include a GUI utility for manipulating ACLs, so your choices are to use a third-party utility such as TinkerTool System (not free) or the Terminal application. The Drop Box folder in your user's Public folder has an ACL entry that gives access to change just about everything on files that are dropped there, so a Terminal example that sets similar permissions for everyone (a particular user group can also be used) would be:
1. copy and paste the folowing into the Terminal window (there is a trailing space):
chmod -R +a "everyone allow list,add_file,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,chown,file_inherit,directory_inherit"
2. drag the desired folder into the Terminal window (this copies the path)
3. press return
Note that ACL entries only work on items that have been created in the folder - not moved there - so you should use option drag to make a new copy in the shared folder.

Error 0(Native: listNetInterfaces:[3]) and error while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Hi Gurus,
I'm trying to upgrade my test 9.2.0.8 rac to 10.1 rac. I cannot upgrade to 10.2 because of RAM limitations on my test RAC. 10.1 Clusterware software was successfully installed and the daemons are up with OCR and voting disk created. Then during the installation of RAC software at the end, root.sh needs to be run. When I run root.sh, it gave the error: while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. I have libpthread.so.0 in /lib. I looked up on metalink and found Doc ID: 414163.1 . I unset the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL in vipca (unsetting of LD_ASSUME_KERNEL was not required in srvctl because there was no LD_ASSUME_KERNEL in srvctl). Then I tried to run vipca manually. I receive the following error: Error 0(Native: listNetInterfaces:[3]). I'm able to see xclock and xeyes. So its not a problem with x.

should ping on sunny1vip and sunny2vip be already working? As of now they dont work.
if you look at oifcfg getif, I initially had eth1 10.0.0.0 global cluster_interconnect,eth0 192.168.2.0 global public then I created eth1 10.1.1.0 global cluster_interconnect with setif. Should it be 10.1.1.0 or 10.0.0.0. I looked at the subnet calculator and it says for 10.1.1.1, 10.0.0.0 is the subnet. In metalink they had used 10.10.10.0 and hence I used 10.1.1.0
Any ideas on resolving this issue would be very much appreciated. I had been searching on oracle forums, google, metalink but all of them refer to DOC Id 414163.1 but it does n't seem to work. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Will crs_stat and srvctl status nodeapps -n sunny1pub work after I upgrade my database or should they be working now already? I just choose to install 10.1.0.3 software and after running root.sh on both nodes, I clicked ok and then the End of installation screen appeared. Under installed products, I see 9i home, 10g home, crs home. Under 10g home and crs home, I see cluster nodes(sunny1pub and sunny2pub) So it looks like the 10g software is installed.

Upgraded 2 macs to Mavericks, can no longer access shared folders/files.

So I upgraded my Macbook Pro, and Mac Mini to Mavericks today, and previously when they were both on mountain lion I could access the shared folders/files and screen share with absolutely no issue whatsoever.
But upon updating to Mavericks today it all broke.
Both computers were running the OS X Server software on Mountain Lion, and I went ahead and purchased/installed the new edition of server that came out today.
I can see the other mac under the "Shared" option in Finder's sidebar, but when I try to open the other mac it says connection failed and offers to "connect as"
As I usually do, I connect as and it asks for the login credentials. I put in the same credentials as before, 150% sure they're right, in the text boxes that I used before, but it won't allow me to connect to the mac.
I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they're the right credentials.
I thought it may have been just a wonky permissions error so I unshared the folders and reshared using the same permissions that had worked before.
I've been working on it for about 3 hours now so any help would be appreciated.

I upgraded my two machines - now when I access files on the "shared" storage array (a thunderbolt, pegasus array) across the network (ethernet) if I modify the file (for instance, a jpg) and then go to save I get a "you don't have permissions to etc...." and then when I just close the file without saving - it disappears from my file server permanently! even if I go to the machine hooked up to the array the file is "gone" - unbelievable. I have updated permissions where I can, deleted and added the sharing for users, tried SMB and AFP, and even downgraded the "sharing" machine back to OSX 10.8 where it was working fine but the client machine still is doing this where it can connect, see all the files, but as soon as I modify a file I get the warning and bam, it's gone forever....
Wow - this is a doozy. I don't have a fix but WARNING - watch out as you are working on this problem that your files are being vanished permanently.

Hi!
I have a WD my book external hard drive plugged into my imac and I want to share it over my network with my apple tv. I went into system preferences > sharing, checked "file sharing" and added my external hard drive to the shared folder. So now it is listed in "shared folders" but under "users" everything is grayed out (it says "read and write" for "everyone" - but "read and write" is grayed out, and it doesn't let me add or subtract users). Now I can access all of the folders I shared from my imac except for the externalhard drive. What's going on?

Hi RRFS!,thanks for help.I forgot to tell that hard drive has 2 partitions 1:format :Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and that works properly,2:format:MS-DOS (FAT32) and when i "get info" for both :first has shering & permitions:You can read and write - with name and privilege, second has shaing & prermissions:You can read and write- without name and privilege
