Sharing files from windows with mountain lion

SINCE THE RELEASE OF LION AND MOUNTAIN LION. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO PROPERLY SHARE FILES FROM MY MACBOOK PRO (MID 2009) TO MY WINDOWS DESKTOP (VISTA HOME PREMIUM) WITHOUT LOGGING IN AS A GUEST. I PRESS CTRL+K ON MY MAC, I TYPE IN SMB://IP ADDRESS (NOT GOING TO SAY EXACTLY MY IP IS) AND A LOGIN SCREEN POPS UP. IT ASKS FOR A USER NAME AND PASSWORD. I USED TO ABLE TO LOGIN WITH MY USER NAME THAT'S ON MY MAC AND NO PASSWORD. HOWEVER; SINCE LION AND MOUNTAIN LION HAVE BEEN RELEASED I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO LOOK INTO MY WINDOWS FROM MY MAC AS A GUEST. I NEED HELP FIGURING OUT WHY IM BEING FORCED TO USE GUEST.

Open Keychain Access App, it is in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. Then look through it for entries for your PC, Like username and or name of PC.
But in the end I don't really think that is going to solve your problem. Like everything with computers at any time something can get screwed up and it happens mostly when you are Upgrading to a New OS over the top of an older OS. This happen with Windows and Mac OS X.
So if my suggestion has no affect on you being able to log in to a Real User Account on the Win PC then it is something that happened durring the upgrade from you older version of OS X to Mt Lion. About the only way to correct that is to wipe the drive and reinstall clean. you can then use a current Time Machine backup to restore just your Files, Programs and Setting from that backup without overwriting the system files of that new install of Mt Lion.

Using CS3 with Nikon Raw Files from D700 and Mountain Lion

I changed my hard disc as there was a problem. I was quite happily using mountain lion to read raw files in CS3 before re-installing and now I cannot read the raw NEFF files in Photoshop CS3. Help please.

Sounds as if that's a Photoshop problem - I have no problems with Photoshop CS6 (I upgraded from CS3 when I bought my new Mac). You might want to head over to the Adobe Photoshop discussion boards and post your problem there - http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop - I'm not totally sure that all CS3 apps are compatible with Mountain Lion. Roaring Apps says that Photoshop CS3 is compatible with both Lion and ML.
Have you tried using iPhoto to import the RAW NEFF files? Try that as a backup method - but get in touch with the Adobe Forum first.
Good luck,
Clinton

Screen sharing from iChat with Mountain Lion

I have not upgraded yet. I want to, but I am concerned that I will no longer have the ability to screen shard with my parents out of state.
I utilize iChat to control my parents computer, they live out of state and are not too computer savvy, this has been a life saver for me. Does Mountain Lion have a feature like this or is it gone with iChat? Is there a video chat option, or am I stuck with facetime???

Hi,
Yes.
You have to use the same iChat ID as you do now. (AIM or Jabber based)
You have to (it's just easier) have the Buddy lists on View (by default they are not)
Yahoo was added for iChat 6 and is in Messages but does not do A/V chats
iMessage (the new Apple Services between Apple iOS devices and Macs with Mountain Lion) is also Text only.
You have to be able to do A/V Chats.
Speed-wise over the Internet this has to at least 128kbps (the same as a Video Chat on a 1-1 basis)
Another way to view this is that Messages is iChat with the iMessages ability shoehorned in and with a main interface change.
When you first start up Messages it tends to push you to enter an Apple ID to "register it" for the iMessage service.
If you migrate an older OS's User Account to the computer the System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars (New Preference Pane) picks up on email and other IDs which tends to mean they get added to Messages for you.
You can of course add Screen Names and IDs using the + Button in Messages menu > Preferences Accounts like you do in iChat.
This tends to mean the Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts looks very familiar
The Window Menu can look a little different.
CMD + 0 brings up the Messages main window (A Chat Window that does tabbed Chats and an Interface all rolled into one)
Once you have other non iMessages Accounts then CMD + 1 brings up Buddies (A combined Buddy List). It is not listed until they are logged in.
They can be unlinked in the General Section of the Preferences at the "Gather all Accounts into one List" line.
Your "desktop" can then look like iChat used to:-

Can't print from mini with mountain lion to To printer being shared on ppc with 10.5.8

Since installing mountain lion on my mini, I cannot print to my shared printer connected to my iMac running 10.5.8. Works fine from another iMac with 10.5.8.

OK, here's more info
The printer is a Canon MP160 that is connected via USB to 17" imac running OS 10.5.8. After installing Mountain Lion on the Mac Mini, I cannot print to that shared printer on my network. I can add the printer to the mini but when i try to print, i see the file in the print queue on the mini, and it processes and looks normal but there is no activity on the imac and nothing prints.
This worked perfectly with previous operating systems, ie snow leopard and then lion. I have done everything I could do to fix this including resetting the printing system on both computers.
I tested the shared printer from another imac that i have that is running 10.5.8 also and it works perfectly.

Shared file from computer with Windows 7 slow to open and save on computer with Windows 8.1

I have three computers in homegroup. They can see each other and sharing files is not a problem. Main computer, where I have all my data on uses Windows 7 Home premium, and Office 2007. Both other computers use latest version Windows 8.1, Office 2010. I
use these two computers to access files on main computer (word, excel). I have problems, because when I try to open word and excel files on these two other computers, files open very slow (green bar is showing, although word has no text inside), and also saves
very slow - empty word file takes 1 minute for saving.
One of computers with 8.1 had 8 before updating and I managed to solve this problem with running this protocol (smb.bat) - this solved the problem, although I do not really understand why:
sc config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
sc config mrxsmb20 start= disabled
So it seems it is really something to do with the version of windows since the same computer had windows 8 and this protocol and worked well, but when updated to 8.1 it works slowly (I tried this protocol, but it is not working)
Please see if there is any solution (updated protocol?) because I really cannot wait for word file to open 1 minute.
Thank you for help!

Hi,
First, You can leave the homegroup and join again to see the result.
To leave a homegroup:
1.Open HomeGroup by typing homegroup in the search box, and then clicking HomeGroup.
2.Click Leave the homegroup.
3.Click Leave the homegroup, and then click Finish.
You can also join the homegroup in the way accordingly.
Besides, this happens after a upgrade to Windows 8.1, this also might be caused by service conflict, I suggest to perform a clean boot to solve this:
1.Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. Or, if you are using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, and then click Search.
2.Type msconfig in the search box, and then tap or click msconfig.
3.On the Services tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box, and then tap or click Disable all.
4.On the Startup tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click Open Task Manager.
5.On the Startup tab in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then click Disable.

It worked fine with lion. Idon't understand.
Any help?? pleas??

All of your TBird mail files are located in ~/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/XXX.default. The library folder is hidden in Mountain Lion by default. To make it visible open the terminal app in your utilities folder and type "chflags nohidden ~/Library" without the quotes.

Transfer a shared file from windows to mac

I need to get a file over to my MacBook that's on my Windows machine. I did it a while ago using sftp but I can't remember how I did it. The computer shows up under the Shared sidebar as family but then it asks me for a user name and password. What user name and password do they mean? I have no account passwords on the windows machine and it won't let me go in as a guest. Could anyone help me fix this.

You need to setup a shared folder on the windows machine with guest privileges. You can put that file in the shared folder and access it without a password from your Mac.

Which HD video file formats work with Mountain Lion?

I use Final Cut Pro v. 7.0.3 and want to work with HD video. Have tried to open some HD video files and have not been able to. Are there specific HD file types that Can be used with this older system?

I've googled the camera for info and I think it should work in FCP7.0.3
Connect it to your Mac with the USB cable and switch it on.
In the FCP menu select File>Log and Transfer
A window will open and all the clips in your camera should start to appear.
Select the ones you want and click the pause symbol on the lower, centre part of the window to start the capture.

How do I copy files from Mac Book Mountain Lion 10.8.3 to a Seagate External Hard Drive

please help

Have you connected the drive to your computer? Is the drive formatted for a Mac? Can you see the drive either on the desktop or in the sidebar of a Finder window? Are you able to (double) click on the drive icon to open it up in Finder? If yes to these, you should just be able to drag and drop.

How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX?

How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX? I'm having SO much trouble with this! Any help would be appreciated!!!

In a finder window, under 'shared' you should be able to see the windows computer name, click on it and connect to it. I am assuming here you have sharing turned on and permissions granted on the windows computer.
Will add a note though, I have frequently accessed files from a PC on the LAN using XP, not vista.

HT4410 I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7

Dear Apple. I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7 bootcamp install download from Apple

It is a Total Misconception that the Support files are installed when you are installing Windows, even if the USB drive that holds them is inserted in the system when doing the Windows install.
You must always Run the Setup.exe files from the support files or run the drivers individually once Windows has finished installing and booted to the desktop.
Also you really need to run the Boot Camp Control Panel Applet and check for updates as not all the newest drivers for full function of all the hardware is included with the original support download. That download is basically a generic version to get the system working and without doing the updates not everything will work properly.

I have big problems with mountain lion. you can not have a boot disk system I resulted in the need to re-download the os from scratch impiegandoci 8 hours, it is outrageous even with windows 95.

at least that the operator has confirmed to me that he called me. I also have problems with either the start of the mac with the power off. I can not understand if it crashes or is just very very slow.
Finally, I have a problem with the external hard disck. I often said to have been ejected incorrectly (not true) and I start to restore the startup recovery disk because disk utility is ineffective from the normal operating system .. is a shocking thing, but how you reduced. in four years it had never happened. seem to have windows or worse. Wake up.
I am an Italian, alas, and then I would like an answer to my language because my € are the same as German French or English.

You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

Windows files with Mountain Lion

Do I still need MacFuse and/or NTFS-3G to read/write Windows files from my MBA with Mountain Lion?

install osxfuse (current 2.5.0)
(not macfuse which is no longer maintained)
https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/downloads
install ntfs-3g (most recent binary 2010.10.2)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/catacombae/
free version old-ish but ok-ish (gives an ignorable but annoying warning
"Did not receive a signal within 15.000000 seconds." on every mount ).
