Sharing file with win vista

Hi all,
I've set sharing in Mac side and selected user account for this purpose.
From Win side, only GUEST account can be access but not allowed to write access
the folder. The error from win side is that user/password not match. I've enabled
the "share file and folder using SMB" and enable the user and also made sure the password is correct.
Pls help

Hi, After my post, I followed your link and realized that what I suggested had been covered by the article, sorry. Sounds like we have similar situations so let's see if we can work this out... I remember when I originally connected my G4 to my Windows network last January, I could not get the volumes on the Win side to mount because of this "alias" error message. I finally resolved the problem with a setting change on my Win PC, not the Apple. I have a LinkSys Cable Modem, Router, Switch and AirPort Extreme (wireless) for my Network equipment. All PC's and APE are connected to the Switch via ethernet. The Switch is connected to the Router and the Router to the Cable Modem. All connected devices are set to DHCP (automatic) and my Router is configured as the DHCP server. All devices automatically are assigned an IP from the Router when they boot up. Now... when your Mini is connected via ethernet... what do you see when you click on Network? I see my Win computers with the name I set up under Network ID. When I click on the computer (to mount a volume) I get the first window which asks me to select a shared volume on that computer, then I get the authentication window. Make sure you have entered the correct workgroup and user name/password for that computer/volume. I find it easier if I just share the whole drive for testing as it is easier than setting up individual shares. Once it is working, I can go back and re-configure.

Sharing files between XP & Vista Computers

I've set up Network Magic on my XP & Vista operating system computers. Works great from Vista to XP. Can share files perfectly. However I need the reverse. I need to share the files from the XP machine on My Vista machine. I get an error message that the Vista machine cannot access files even though the machines are communicating. I've set up windows firewall correctly on both machines, so I don't believe it's a firewall issue, but not absolutely positive. Any help would sure be appreciated. I've troubleshooted for a week & am about ready to take it to a professional computer repair center. I've tried pinging the other machine and get a timeout error, which leads me to believe there may be a communication problem. If anyone has any suggestions, I would sure appreciate it. I'm just about ready to throw in the towel. I thought that networking 2 computers would be the simplest task. It's turned into one of the most complex nightmares I've ever had to deal with on computers. Thanks for any help.

I double checked everything and file and printer sharing is turned on everywhere I can find to turn it on. Windows firewalls are configured correctly and have file & printer sharing on. I even turned both firewalls off & still was unable to access files on the XP machine. Internet works great on both machines. I can do a screen shot of the XP machine on the Vista machine and everything checks out as being connected & working properly. Something somewhere is blocking file access from the XP machine, but I cannot figure what it could be. I've uninstalled anything that I thought might be causing a problem and still get the "cannot access shared folder" message. It suggests a firewall issue, but as far as I can tell, there is no firewall blocking file sharing. The files share perfectly on the XP machine when I try to access the Vista files. It just won't do the reverse and when I try to use the networked printer on the Vista machine, the queue just holds the job forever and never prints. I also get a timeout error when I try to ping the XP machine from the Vista machine. I get a "file path not found" error when I try to connect to the drive using Vista's networking controls. The XP computer icon only shows up once in awhile and when I do a map network drive command, it says it cannot find the path even though the path exists and is typed correctly. Here is all the information about my system. I certainly appreciate any suggestions as to what might get this network finally sharing files from my Vista machine. Thanks.

[solved] Zim opens txt file with Wine Notepad

I'm using KDE4.
In Zim, Tools / Edit source opens the txt file with Wine Notepad. I guess this is the default association for txt files in GTK. How can I change this without using Gnome?

Yes ,desktop and mimelist files in ~/.local. I have survived these anomalies to learn its much less pain to use windoze apps under virtualization environment than under emulation. And poweroff the virtual machine whenever it hangs.

Sharing files on a VISTA machine with my iMac via network domain.

As I always say, forgive me. I am new to this Mac world. I love it, but being an admin for a network of 300 PCs and trying to get this iMac to join the gang isn't as simple as I had hoped.
FWIW this iMac has admitmac running on it.
I want to share all the users files on her Vista machine that she wants on her new iMac I am configuring, and I want to be able to get on her iMac and pull them over to it via the network... looking for the easiest, no-nonsense way to do that... though with Vista involved, I know that may be a problem.
Oh, Kappy rocks.

Sharing files with Creative cloud for teams

HI,
I am looking at getting creative cloud for teams, but I want to keep our existing CS suite users who are already on maintenance plans.
Can I share files on the creative cloud between these two types of users?
Does Adobe Bridge see these files ?
Is there any way of doing version control ?
We are also worried about this
"If a team member leaves the company, what happens to their files stored in Creative Cloud?
The IP is associated with the individual, not the company. The individual will have a 90-day grace period to delete their files."
Also we are in Australia and we are concerned about the speed. Can anyone advise what the speed is like ?
rgds Renovator

Anyone who signs up for the Creative Cloud can share files. You do not need to be a Creative Cloud member to view a shared file, only to do the sharing.
Adobe Bridge does not see the files unless you use Creative Cloud Connection to sync the files to your local computer.
There is no version control yet. It is on our road map.
Being in Australia should not be an issue, but I will let other customers from Australia comment.

Sharing files with other mac users on iCloud

May I share files I store on iCloud with other users?

If you want to try online sharing you might like to look at SugarSync:
https://www.sugarsync.com/products/sync_sharing.html
- this page says:
Collaborate with shared folders
SugarSync keeps all your shared files up-to-date and in sync for powerful collaboration with your virtual team. With folder sharing, you can collaborate on projects by giving a person, or a group of people, access to a shared folder on your computer. No more wasting time emailing individual files and tracking the latest versions. Just send an email invitation to your clients, coworkers, or family members to join your folder.
Sync folders of information across teams
Folder members can sync a shared folder directly to their own computers. Any member of a shared folder can have their own copy of the folder on their own computer. Folder members can edit files locally. Updates are reflected for everyone as soon as the file is saved.
I've not tried this so you would need to investigate to see whether it suited your requirements.
There is also a new program, Cloud App, which makes sharing files simple: it runs as a background process and you just drag files to the menu bar icon. Storage is with Heroku and Amazon: it's free with a limit of 10 files per day, maximum 25MB per file, $45 per year for unlimited files, maximum 250MB per file.
Another possible option is YouSendIt. It provides the facility for you to upload files and send an email to a recipient telling them how to download it: and it's also possible with all but the free plan for others to upload a file for you. The free version allows you to send a maximum file size of 50MB with no upload by others: $9.99 per month gets you 2GB sized files in either direction, and there are upgraded plans.

Sharing Files with XP

I had a different router and I could share my desktop files/etc with my laptop. I just bought my Airport Extream, but I cant seem to share files on my network.
Is there anything I need to do/redo to be able to share files?

When you set up that particular folder as a shared folder. You need to configure a shared folder on the PC. See the following for help:

How do you run .exe files with wine by clicking on them?

Hi, I need help with using wine on mac osx. I used to use wine on Ubuntu and Linux Mint and it was relatively simple. But on mac osx, I used macports to dowload/install wine, and i used winecfg to create a prefix. I can not figure out for the life of me how to launch an executable by clicking on it. It opens in TextEdit instead of launching in wine. Can someone explain to me how to make a .exe file launch by clicking on it? Do i have to register the filetype with wine? Wine is not in a .app format. I can run any .exe in terminal but it is less than convenient. Thanks in advance.

So wrap Wine in an application, and bind the .exe's to the wrapper application.
Platypus (free download)
<http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19870>
Can be used to turn any Unix program or script into a double clickable application, as well as a drag and drop target application.
It should be possible to wrap Wine with Platypus.
As an alternative, you might try Applications -> Automator -> Run Shell Script workflow, and save that as an application. Then bind your .exe's to that workflow you created.
NOTE: I have not played with Wine, so your mileage may vary.

XP to WIN7 with WIN VISTA upgrade media

Appears I ordered incorrect upgrade disk for my U330.
The tag on the bottom showed WINDOWS VISTA BUS OEM, actual system on board is XP.PRO, Cn I get away with using the shipped disk WIN7 upgrade media for WIN vistas IF I DO a CLEAN INSTALL, or should I try to purchase an XP to windows7 disk?
D

Hello diggin4s,
You can perform a clean install from a Windows 7 upgrade version however you will have to have a valid previous copy of Microsoft Windows XP or Microsoft Windows Vista installed to validate the upgrade and activate the product key. Please note that when migrating from Windows XP to Windows 7 you will not have an "in place upgrade" option. You will however have the option to select "custom" install when prompted. The Windows 7 install process will then copy all of your data in "My Documents" over to a Windows.old folder within Windows 7 itself. All applications and documents stored in other locations will have to be reinstalled / transferred manually.
For more information on the Windows 7 Upgrade, please go here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7
For additional assistance with the migration of Windows XP to Windows 7, please go here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/ee150430.aspx
thanks again,

Sharing files with other members of my family on the wireless network

I would like to share my files with other members of my family on the wireless network. Unfortunately, their pcs are MS Windows OS and connected in workgroup type while I am on Mac. I can access internet via the same wireless router but cannot see other members. Can someone advise How I can accomplish it. Thanks!

I don't have personal experience with this, but I was reading this article earlier today, and it seems to address your situation. I think the solution is on page 2.

IPhoto is currently a shared file with another user on my Mac and I am the Admin and no longer want to share it. How do i undo this completely?

Iphoto is currently a shared file on my Mac and I no longer want to share it. How do I completely remove access to it if i am the Admin to the computer? Thanks in advance...

I found the answer on the Quicken Support site. Unbelievable!!!!
Article ID: GEN82981 Updated: 8/11/2011 |
Unable to Share a Data File Between Multiple Users on the Same System
Cause The Quicken Essentials data is a data package that contains multiple files. Each item in the package has permission set based on the current users profile. When the Package is moved to a shared folder, the permission in the data package are not changed, therefore cannot be accessed by another user.
You can change the permissions for each individual file within the data package to be accessed by other users. However, the first user who opens the file after the permissions have been changed, will take ownership of the data package, and it will no longer be accessible by the other party again.
SolutionThis issue is currently a product limitation and is expected to be resolved in a future version of Quicken Essentials for Mac.

Using fusion and sharing files with mac

I am getting a Mac Airbook and am going to be running Fusion from VMWare. I have an external Western Digital drive that I want to use to transfer my files to the Mac. Two questions:
1. Will the Passport software or at least the files - be recongnized by the Mac?
2. Does the Mac share the files with Fusion or do I need separate folders?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
1. Your Mac will recognize the external drive without any problem if it's formatted with FAT, NTFS or exFAT. Note that OS X can't write into NTFS drives.
2. Your Mac can share files with a virtual machine if you install VMware Tools onto the virtual machine

Airport Express fails to work with Win Vista

Ive got a 802.11 n airport express.
My girlfriend's laptop with windows vista becomes disconnected with internet every hour. However, It shows in the tool bar that the laptop is connecting to the internet, while the MSN messenger and IE browser fail to connect to internet. She has to disconnect from internet and reconnect. Then it works for a while, then fail again.
Meanwhile, my macbook pro, which is also linked the airport express, works properly. It never failed to connect to the internet.
Can anyone plz tell what is goin' on? How can I solve the problem?

when was the last time the express worked fine?
ok, so hardwired into the 6121, that computer works fine, right? try these exact steps esp the reset
unplug modem and leave off for 5 minutes, while you're waiting plug a eth cord from modem to the WAN (circle icon) port of the express
keep express unplugged and hold in reset button and don't let go
plug power back into express and only release reset when amber light flashes after 10-20s
give it a minute, hopefully you'll now see a green light on the express
fire up airport utility and proceed to 'create a new network' - you may see your device under 'other wifi devices' in the utility or you'll have to manually connect to it by clicking on the wifi icon in the OSX title bar and selecting the reset name of your express (something like express 342sdaf32)
