Sharing Calenders (via .Me) between a Mac and a PC? Is it possible?

I have a .Me account and my girlfriend has just bought a .Me account (or more accurately is using the trial version). I have a Mac she has a PC.
Is there anyway she can publish her Calendar via the iCal feature on the online cloud (i.e via the internet). If not is there a PC version of iCal so that she can publish it from her desktop?
What we are basically trying to do is get our calendars to show up on the other persons computer. If anyone knows if this is possible we'd love to know.
Fingers crossed she will hopefully buy a MacBook soon and this problem will be a thing of the past. Meanwhile any help with this query would be greatly appreciated.

Should be easy on the Mac side, in System Preferences>Sharing, enable File Sharing & who can.
Once you set Folder Sharing on the PC side & add the Mac User as a PC user, then on the Mac...
Finder>Go Menu>Connect to Server>Browse.
If they in fact do show up on the Desktop, then create a new Folder maybe named Shares on/in the Desktop, drag all those Shares shown on the Desktop to that Folder, drag that Folder to the right side of the Dock between Applications & Trash, this should give you a popup menu to select from.:-)
Mount that Share once, then once the Globe Icon shows up on the Desktop, drag that Globe Icon to the right side of the Dock between Applications & Trash. You now have a Dynamic Mount, a quick click on the Icon in the Dock will connect you.
On the multiple Shortcuts...
Mount them all, when show up on the Desktop, then create a new Folder maybe named Shares on/in the Desktop, drag all those Shares shown on the Desktop to that Folder, (you can even rename them once there, if you wish), drag that Folder to the right side of the Dock between Applications & Trash, this should give you a popup menu to select from.:-)
To automount them, drag those Aliases to the Accounts Pref Pane's Login Items Window.

Sharing an ITunes lib between a Mac and an Apple TV

I understand Apple TV streams music from an existing iTunes libraray on another Mac.
Will it still work if that same iTunes library is in use by the Mac hosting the library? Will things slow down considerable if both devices are using the same lib at the same time?
Thanks in advance for your advice. /Kenny

no.
you can stream content from computers to TV. with the release of iOS 4.2, you will also be able to stream content from an iPad or iPhone/iPod Touch to it.

you can stream content from only one computer @ a time. however, owing to the +home sharing+ functionality, you would be able to access the content of other shared libraries while connected to one library.

Did Mountain Lion break calendar and note sync between the Mac and iPhone?

When I was running Lion, my calendars and notes synced properly between my Mac and iPhone (with notes going into Mail.app). After upgrading to Mountain Lion, the notes on my Mac were moved into Notes.app and my calendars appeared to be unharmed. I've recently noticed that neither my calendars nor my notes are syncing between my Mac and iPhone.
I use iTunes to sync my data (either via USB or WiFi) and have no interest in moving to iCloud. I have tried the suggestion of enabling iCloud sync on my iPhone, then disabling, as well as telling iTunes to overwrite the calendar data on my iPhone. Neither of these approaches has solved my sync problem.

I found a solution to my problem. Hopefully it helps someone else too.
I deleted the following file and folder:
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Sync Changes/
When I synced my iPhone, I was presented with several sync conflicts to resolve. I resolved them and applied the changes immediately. Now my Mac and iPhone are in sync and I've confirmed that changes are syncing from my Mac to my iPhone (I'll confirm that it works the other direction tomorrow when I can look at my calendar at work).
This is the thread that helped me:

Can I use the same apple ID to face time between my Mac and ipad2

I have tried to use FaceTime between my Mac and iPad 2 using the same apple ID and I cannot connect. Do I need two separate apple ID's to do this?

OK SO My original email on my ipad is a .mac ( which is my email from my apple ID)
After reading your advice above I added another email which is a .me email I tried to facetime my husband on his airbook and it would not work. Do I have to eliminate one of the email addresses? And if I do remove it from my Facetime settings on my ipad will it be removed from my macbook pro as well?

Tethering via USB between the Z10 and a laptop or PC & and few Comments About the Playbook Tethering

Tethering via USB between the Z10 and a laptop or PC can be a bit tricky.
On the Z10 do the following:
On the Z10 go to the Settings.
Go to Network Connections.
Go to Internet Tethering.
Select USB.
Turn on Tethering.
On the computer run the Blackberry Link software for the Z10:
Once the software starts, connect the Z10 via the USB cable to the PC.
Open the browser.
You should now be able to cruise the net, and do emails.
With the Playbook, the Bluetooth tethering does not yet work. This may be an OS or communications issue.
The best way to tether the Playbook for full speed and functions is using the WiFi option. Simply turn on the WiFi hot spot option and follow the instructions. The Playbook WiFi must also be properly set up. The Z10 USB and Bluetooth tethering mode must be turned off when using the WiFi mode. You can leave the base Bluetooth active on the Z10. There is a lot of available information about using the WiFi hot spot from the Z10. The process is very similar to the past models of Blackberry phones.
If you use the Bridge mode to tether, the Playbook email client software does not work very well. The browser will work fairly well, but slower with the Bridge mode. With WiFi the Playbook can brows at very high speed. With Bluetooth it is restricted to about 1.5 to 2.5 mb/sec. Take care that the WiFi mode burns through battery time very fast on both the Playbook and the Z10. Using the Bridge mode uses less power consumption than WiFi.
To use the Bridge mode, make sure the Playbook and the Z10 are first Bluetooth mated. Also the Bridge mode has to be set up between the devices. You will have to first install the Bridge software in to the phone for this to work.
I did extensive testing between the Z10 and the Playbook. They function well together as far as Internet and email are concerned, in consideration of using either tether or Bridge, depending on what you want to do.
From what I understand the Bridge mode uses some compression. It will not be as fast as using WiFi or Bluetooth tethering. The data cost using the Bridge mode is probably a bit lower because of the compression.
As far as the Bridge phone options are concerned, these features are not yet available. From what I read in a number of articles there are going to soon be some updates coming out to fix this. The Bridge options are a big part of the tablet application with the Blackberry phone. This was the big original application point of this tablet, otherwise any generic tablet would do the job.

From the look of this thread it appears that no one outside of Canada uses an OS 10 BB yet. 247 views and no comments or help ? I'm sure I'm not the only BB user that uses Tether. If BB doesn't care to help then this will just be another nail in the corporate coffin that has been projected.
Maybe we need different forums for US users as the Canadians don't seem to have the same issues or cares.
The whole idea of the app Tether is not to have to pay the outrageous tethering fees that US carriers charge and it has worked well for years. But it can't work and won't work in the future without help from BB and the BB community.

Is there a way to Move files to the iCloud thus freeing up disk space on my Mac? Or does iCloud only sync (replicate) files between my Mac and the cloud?

Is there a way to Move files to the iCloud thus freeing up disk space on my Mac? Or does iCloud only sync (replicate) files between my Mac and the cloud? I want to free up disk space on my Mac and assumed that the icloud would be a good way to do this, but having 'moved' 70Gb of files to the iCloud drive (I've upgraded to 200Gb storage) my Mac is still nearly full and I've realised that it seems to just Sync files just like dropbox.

So, the big question is did the Apple guys confirm that this is how the new iCloud drive should be working? I'm guessing, from your response, that this is indeed the case. Are they going to fix this anytime soon? I thought that this was a new function of the iCloud drive in Yosemite.
I just want an online storage facility to back up my photo & music collections. I did look at Dropbox as they have a good deal going with their Dropbox Pro, however this is still just a sync service where the Master files reside on your local disk drive - although I have read that there may be a way to work around this. Still not ideal.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Starting as far back as I know about. Mac versions of Microsoft Office:
Office 98
Office 2001
Office v.X
Office 2004
Office 2008
Office v.X was basically the same as Office 2001 but ran on OS X rather than OS 9. I am running Office v.X right now. Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Entourage all have version numbers starting with 10.something.
Office 2004 is currently onsale and is the latest version but is only optimised for PowerPC processors. Since early to mid 2006 Apple has used Intel processors. Office 2008 will be Intel native. You can purchase Office 2004 today and obtain a free update to Office 2008 when it's released early net year.
If you are running PowerPC Macs then Office v.X may well be suitable in fact Office v.X still runs fine on my Intel iMac with Leopard.
You might also consider:

NeoOffice (link).

My icalendar is not syncing between my mac and iphone

My icalendar is not syncing between my mac and iphone. Everything for icalendar and icloud is turned on for all devices. PLEASE HELP

Settings>icloud. Assuming you have already set up the connection to icloud (ID, password), then turn on Calendars on that screen.
If they don't appear, then log into icloud.com using a computer's browser and look at the calendars page. If empty, then you are not syncing calendars from your device to icloud. If there, then be sure Calendars is turned on in Settings>iCloud or System Preferences>iCloud.

Difference between Spilt Mac and Local Mac architecture

Hi,
Can someone explain to me the difference between Split mac and Local Mac architecture.
And of course if you have some documentation on it, I'll take with pleasure.
Thank you.
Jonathan.

http://www.cisco.com/web/about/ac123/ac147/archived_issues/ipj_9-3/wireless_lan_switches.html
Two types of MAC implementations are possible with Fit APs, known as the Local MAC and the Split MAC architectures. Local MAC is where all the wireless MAC functions are performed at the AP. The complete 802.11 MAC functions, including management and control frame processing, are resident on the APs. These functions include time-sensitive functions (also known as Real Time MAC functions).
The Split MAC architecture divides the implementation of the MAC functions between the AP and the controller. The real-time MAC functions include functions such as beacon generation, probe transmission and response, control frame processing (for example Request to Send and Clear to Send—RTS and CTS), retransmission, and so on. The non-real time functions include authentication and deauthentication; association and reassociation; bridging between Ethernet and Wireless LAN; fragmentation; and so on.
Vendors differ in the type of functions that are split between the AP and the controller, and in some cases, even about what constitutes real time. One common implementation of a Fit AP involves local MAC at the AP and control and management functions at the AP.

Can I set up a home network between my mac and a windows based laptop?

Can I set up a homenetwork between my mac and a windows based laptop?

The router is te network hub.
I have a network between my Linux box and my PC and my MBP because they are both hooked up the the same router. All you need is the "192.168.1.x" address of the destination box and the software needed for the type of conection (VNC, SSH, etc).
What helps is to set up "static routing" for all boxes so the IP address does not change. I have set up my Linux box to be 192.168.1.100 always, using the MAC (the ethernet abbreviation MAC, not Macintosh) in the router's "static routing" table.
Exactly which screens you need in the router depends on te router make and the internal management screens. The router maker should have either online (if they offer it past a 1 year from purchase) or online help found through Google. A MAC address is a set of 6 hexadecimal number separated by ":" -- an example (which I imagine will match *some* MAC *somewhere* is "6A:13:F2:72:E4:A1".

Sharing files between a Mac and PC

I have 2 Mac's and 2 PC's and they are all on a network via Airport Express and all connect to the Internet just fine. What I'd like to do is share files to and from all the computers on my network. I can see the Mac's just fine and copy files between them as well, however I cannot "mount" the PC's. When I go into network I see library, Mshome,My Network,Servers,Workgroup. In Ms Home I see one of the pc's and in Network and workgroup I see the other PC. When I click connect on either of the pc's regardless of which folder they are in i get the spinning lollipop and then a message that the alias needs to be fixed or deleted. Can anyone help me? I've turned on Windows sharing on my Mac and I've turned on sharing on the folders on my PC that I would like to have access to. What am I missing? I should mention that I know nothing about PC's. Thanks ahead of time for any and all help!

Epson printer sharing incompatibility between PPC Macs and Intel Macs?

I currently have an Epson Stylus Photo 2200 that is shared on my network so I can print to it anywhere including using Airport. This has worked fine for a long time. Last night I tried to print to it from Photoshop on the MBP and found lots of the options in the printer setup for this specific printer weren't showing up. It was very baffling, so after much trying I finally connected the printer directly to the MBP and the options were back. But other things were very different. Like instead of having different printer selections for bordless printing, there is only one printer selection and now when you select the paper size (8x10 for example) there are submenus on the paper size for borderless or other options.
Certainly better but very different. Looking in the printer directory, the file structure looks different and the version for this printer (which now isn't a driver itself but a plug-in to a main driver) is 3.0 which is much newer than the version in the PPC 10.4.5 or on their website. I don't have other epson printers to check out, but they appear as plug-in files now which they didn't before. This issue may apply to other epson printers, not just the 2200.
So, this is long winded way of saying that yes, the printer works (and works well) but it's not incompatible with the PPC mac version and you can't share the printer without losing functionality. It sure would be nice to be warned about this. I don't see anything from Apple or Epson that would let you know this. Has anyone else seen anything similar to this?

I'm in the same situation --- I have a 2200 hooked up to a PPC desktop Mac, and I share it over Airport with my MBP. I have good and bad news.
Good news: Epson has posted new 2200 printer drives for Intel-based Macs on support.epson.com. Download and try them. Read the instructions --- you'll probably have to do a "Reset Printing System" and restart your MBP before installing the new drivers.
Bad news: while I'm able to print to my 2200 over Airport, I'm unable to access Print Settings to change the media type. Thus, unless I'm printing to plain paper, I still have to use a direct connection from the 2200 to my MBP.
Does anybody have a solution to the Print settings issue?
