Sharing between iMac and Samsung TV

Have a desktop iMac, a large Samsung TV, and a secure wireless network at home. Have connected TV to network, but can not figure out how to share videos from the iMac to the TV. Samsung user manual is very "Windows" oriented. Any suggestions?

Buy Apple TV. Worth their weight in Gold.

Insufficient privledges when sharing between iMac and Powerbook

I just upgraded both my powerbook and iMac to Leopard and want to turn on file sharing between the two. The way it used to work with Tiger, I would just click on the drive on my network and it would give me read and write privledges. Now it is saying that I have insufficient privledges. I can get the powerbook to mount the iMac and vice versa but can't seem to do much else.
I am trying to move my iPhoto library from my Powerbook to my iMac.
Thanks

If you are trying to write directly into the iPhoto Library, note that it is not a regular folder but a package. The permissions on the iPhoto Library package only allow writing by the owner, so another approach is needed, such as those mentioned in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198

Sharing between iMac and MacBook Pro

I just got a MacBook Pro. I already have an iMac, and I was curious if there was a way to share info between the two without connecting them via firewire? (For example, sharing my itunes library between the two computers)

This does not work!. I have a MacBook Pro and iMac and i want my Macbook to be able to add content to my iMac. I am burining CD's and movies that I own so i can view and listen on AppleTV but When adding content via my Macbook pro (Beacuse it has the CDROM) i want it to be available on the iMac and on the Macbook via my home network.
To get around the issue i have shared the Automaticlly Add to Itunes foler on my iMac so after i burn the files i can copy them over. I just hate doing this step.
Any Ideas?

No communication between iMac and Samsung 4K

I have an iMac 3.2GHz i5 w/ 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3, OS X ver. 10.9.4
I've just purchased a Samsung UD590 4K Monitor, and have it connected with a single cable from the iMacs mini DisplayPort (thunderbolt) to the standard DisplayPort into the Samsung monitor.
When I make the connection, the monitor detects something has been inserted into the DP port, but after a couple flickers of the screen, it displays nothing and goes into power saver mode as if it isn't receiving anything.
The iMac doesn't change at all.
If I connect it via HDMI, it runs just fine.
Any ideas? is this a common problem?
I have no other devices that can output from mini DP to really test it with.

Using file sharing between iMac and Macbook Air

I have been trying to use file sharing but do not have admin password or disc..When I try to access the iMac from my Air it give the option of using my Apple ID but no password field comes up...I press enter and get the Dialog Box wobble...

I have tried using the guest login but get the message "Access denied to this server, contact administrator". I can access the Air from my iMac but even though they are both running Mavverick some of the dialog boxes appear different. And thats even though I have enabled guest login on the iMac

How do I set up file sharing between iMAC and MacBook Pro?

I am unable to use "file sharing". When trying to connect as a "registered user" it asks for my server password. What is that? I have tried every password I think it could be. I also can not connect as "using an Apple ID"

You can set up "iCloud" on all of them and select there to sync your Documents. You must be running Mountain Lion on the MBA and iOS 6 on the iPhone and iPad in order to use iCloud:

File sharing between iMac and PC running Windows 7

This can't be a new problem but I am unable to access PC files running Windows 7 on a wireless network. I can see the folders on the PC from the Mac but cannot open nor access the contents. Error message: "The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “name of folder” can’t be found. I have tried every suggestion I've found on internet. Any solutions?

I can access Mac files from PC but not the other way around. I have given "Full COntrol" under Share Permissions on PC; I have selected "Share" for Users, My Documents. I have added Guest User Accounts without passwords. I have tried to access as Owner. I have tried to "Connect to Server" through Finder, smb://computer name/file. Although the file folders are displayed on my Mac when I try to open them I get a "Connection failed. You do not have permission to access the server "computer name". When I try to access from Finder SHARED, the get error message The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “file name” can’t be found.

Internet sharing between cellphone and computer us...

I have watched some videos in youtube about internet sharing between cellphones and computer using "BLUETOOTH"... How do they do that? How can we do this? Anybody here can share to us how to do this??

I personally would not of thaught this is possible as bluetooth is essentially just a radio signal, obviously it can transmit data but i dont think it has the ability to stream a broadband connection. Could be completely wrong but thats what i think.
You are wrong
Most Nokia phones with a bluetooth interface can let you connect your computer to the Internet using your phone as a modem connected by bluetooth. So, BT definitely can support the data stream.
Enabling a computer to use the phone's Internet connection over BT or via USB cable is possible with no additional software on the phone. Doing the opposite, allowing the phone to use the computer's Internet connection via BT, requires additional software. GNUBox does just that.

Trouble using AirPlay between iMac and AppleTV

I'm running OS X Lion 10.7.5 and I'm having trouble using AirPlay between iMac and AppleTV (2nd Gen). It used to work fine, but for some reason it just stopped responding. I can see my media on my iMac from AppleTV and I can see AppleTV from my iMac when attempting to use AirPlay. However, when I try to pull or push media from my iMac to AppleTV it just stalls and never loads. AirPlay works fine from my iPhone and iPad with AppleTV - it's limited to my iMac only.
I'm using a Netgear R7000 wireless router and a Netgear AC120 WiFi Extender and as such, I have 4 available wireless networks (2 from the router and 2 from the extender / 2 - 2.4 GHz and 2 - 5 GHz). My internet access is great and my network performance is good across the board. All of my software/firmware is up to date (iMac, AppleTV and router/extenders). I've tried all combinations (mixing/matching) all of my wireless networks between devices (iMac/AppleTV) - nothing makes a difference (again, AirPlay works fine between my mobile devises/AppleTV). Netgear Genie has been making changes to my network settings as new firmware has been installed in both the router and extender. I'm guessing there is something screwy going on with the network settings on the iMac, but I can't figure it out.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

I'm glad you got it all working. Out of interest, how do you (or your son) connect to the internet now? Is it just a dial-up connection? If it is, I am sure you know that, even if you get the Apple TV to share the connection, the speed will seriously limit the use of many of the Apple TV's features.
The Airport Extreme is a great router but you will need a DSL or cable modem as well as it won't connect to the internet without one. There are many great (and cheaper!) combined modem/routers available if your son wants to get a high-speed network up and running at lower cost. Any other computers, phones, games consoles etc that you may have in the house can then all connect easily.
I hope that I have helped a little and I will look out for future posts in case I can help again.

Any issues with file sharing between Windows and latest Mac client?

We're running Lync 2013. My Windows client is 15.0.4551.1005. Mac client is version 14.0.8.
I open a conversation with a coworker on his Mac. I then try to share a png file. He clicks accept but then my client says the attempt timed out, and his client says that I canceled the file transfer. The coworker then boots the Mac into Windows and we try
again, and the file share works fine. When I jump on my Mac, I can send files to his Mac without issue. When he tries to send from his Mac to my PC it fails, but when he tries to send from Windows on his Mac to my PC, it works.
I can't find anything specific in the logs that would indicate a firewall issue. Is there a bug with file sharing between the Mac and PC clients?
Thanks,
Matt

No, There isn't a bug with file sharing between Mac and Pc client.

I have a Domain name with email forwarding to my Service Provider which worked very well when I had a PC. Now I have iMac and have changed to IMAP from POP3 so I can sync. between iMac and iPad but how?

I have a Domain name with email forwarding to my Service Provider which worked very well when I had a PC. Now that I have iMac I have changed the account type to IMAP from POP3 so I can sync. between iMac and iPad but how?
I do receive emails into my iMac for which I have 3 email accounts but am struggling on how synchronise between iMac and iPad so that both are up to date at all times. I have also set up a iCloud email account thinking this was the way to go but have drawn a blank.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Linc Davis,
I have set up my email address both within my iMac and my ISP as IMAP accounts and I receive all emails without problem on my iMac. I have also set up an iCloud email address using my iMac.
I have enabled the email within "setting" on my iPad and have used the iCloud account. I have sent emails from the iMac to iPad using the iCloud account address and vice versa. I have also sent emails from the iPad to the iMac using my non-iCloud email address and they have gotten through.
The one thing I would like to have is for the iPad "mail" mailboxes to mimic the iMac "mail" mailboxes and both to be "in sync". I am not really interested in using the iCloud email address for my email but would really like to use my "normal" addresses as these are what most people know me by.
Do I need to set additional accounts within the iPad which are the same as the email accounts I have within the iMac and my ISP? I have reached the end of my knowledge as regards email synchronsing.
Thanks

Hi cbafiero,
It seems that the problem lies in your router. I'm not sure exactly what the issue is (I've just now discovered it myself), but after switching from a Linksys WRT54GX2 to a thrift store Netgear, my shared libraries appeared instantly. My gut is telling me that the Linksys routers are blocking the multicast traffic, which is stupid on Linksys's part, to filter traffic internally. I'll look more into the Netgear and see what it has that the Linksys doesn't (or vice versa).

How is it best to keep files synced between iMac and Macbook? I work from home on my iMac and then out in meetings on my Macbook and need to have access to the same files on both.

How is it best to keep files synced between iMac and Macbook? I work from home on my iMac and then out in meetings on my Macbook and need to have access to the same files on both. The folders are using Microsoft programmes as this is compatiable with 90% of my colleagues, therefore I can't use the Icloud service.

No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.
