Sharing System 7.5 files with OSX 10.6 via network cable

Hi, I've seen a few walkthroughs, but they're for slightly different versions of OS. (i.e. System 7.6 to OS9) I know there are important networking differences between different versions, so does anyone know what will work between 7.5 and 10.6?
Thanks!

7.5.3 and later File Sharing
Any Mac running 7.5.3 or later (with at least OpenTransport 1.1.2 and AppleShare Chooser extension 3.7.4) can share the files of any Mac running OS 9 or later using built-in File Sharing using IP. What is not supported beyond 10.3 is File Sharing via AppleTalk. In addition, Sharing initiated from your 10.4 or 10.5 Mac to a Mac before OS 9 is not supported directly. So you will have to make the connection from the Older Mac end. Alternatively, you could install "Shareway IP" (a low-cost utility) on the older Mac and connect from the newer Mac.
You need an appropriate Ethernet connection, and each Mac must have a similar (but not identical) IP Address. On the 10.4 or 10.5 Mac: You must turn on File Sharing in your 10.4 or later Mac:
System Preferences > Sharing > Services pane > \[X] Personal File Sharing
and click ( Start )
Look up the 10.4 or 10.5 Mac's IPv4 Address in System Profiler OR Network Preferences, and write it down for later. It may resemble 192.168.0.6
On the Older Mac: open the Chooser and select AppleShare. Your 10.4 or 10.5 Mac will NOT appear in the right-hand pane, because it does not speak AppleTalk File Sharing protocol. But do not despair!
It can speak IP protocol, if you ask it nicely. So click on the "Server IP Address" button on the bottom of the right pane, and enter the IPv4 Address of the 10.4 or 10.5 Mac.
The login screen that appears is sent to you from the 10.4 or 10.5 Mac. Enter a Username and password that is valid on the 10.4 or 10.5 Mac. Choose the drive(s) you want to mount, if there is a choice, and they will appear on the desktop of the Older Mac as shared Network Drives (Drive Icon with a cable coming out the bottom).
Drag whatever you like to the newly-mounted drive. It will appear on the 10.4 or later Mac. Try to resist the temptation to drag your whole drive all at once. Move smaller batches in a thoughtful way, and you should have no problems.

iPhone contacts: file transfer to Windows 7 via USB-cable
My iPhone can communicate with the computer only via USB-cable (no mobile data, no bluetooth, no internet, no outlook). As I want to get the phone to the "doctor" I want to save specifically my contact data and calendar details on the computer (OS: Windows 7). How can I solve this task? I will appreciate your valuable information, thanks.

Using the iPhone, the USB cable, iTunes and Windows Contacts, sync the iPhone contacts to Windows Contacts. That will save them there. They are also included in the iPhone backup made in iTunes, and if you use iCloud.
I'm sorry, I missed the calendar part the first time I looked. For calendar, you need a supported application on the computer (Outlook) or if you use iCloud, you can use the iCloud contacts and calendar app to sync.

Can the system automatically start up with OSX and later switch to windows after starting up?

I mean, I don't want to choose between OSX or Windows when I start up. I just want to start up with OSX. Is it possible to only start with OSX and later switch to Windows after starting up, or is there any option?

you want to override the default and reboot into Windows next time?
Use BootChamp or Option key.
But when there are Windows updates it will need to be set to boot into Windows.
Sounds like you don't want to run Windows natively.

Transfering files from PC to Mac via ethernet cable

I have been unable to connect my Mac for file transfer. I followed the directions on the following sites:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304721
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106471
I connected both computer via an ethernet cable and used the 'Connect to Server' option in the finder. It searches for a while and then gives me the following error:
The Finder cannot complete the operation because some of the data in "smb://5.173.180.164/SharedDocs" could not be read or written. (Error code -36).
The folder i specified is open for sharing and i've run the network wizard on the PC. I can't seem to figure out what's wrong.
I appreciate any help you can give.

You can connect them via ethernet cable. It will work fine.
No special software needed on either side.
What is it you are trying to do? Share files? Printers? Internet?
This article from iFelix may offer some help to you:

Using an airport extreme as a repeater with the use of a network cable

My network now is like this: cablemodem with built in router-->switch-->time machine set as bridge --> imac and macbookpro wirelesly connected. Printer is on the usb port of the time machine.
Since i live in a big house with a loth of steel and stone i need to extend the range of my wireless network. I have tried this with an old "b/g airport express" set as an extender "join existing network". Well this does not work. Anyway i am considering to buy an "airport extreme n" i have a network cable on every floor of my home. For me it would be logic to connect the time machine by using a network cable in to a lanport of the extreme and then configuring the extreme as an extender. Before i buy the extreme i would like to now if this would work! I am a little reluctant because it does not seem to work at all with my old express b/g airport(and i used the cairport config manager in the wright way) , altough if i use it to make a new wireless network and connect it with a networkcable to my switch it works perfectly!?
Thanks for any information in advance.
Michel

FWIW, to provide wireless coverage throughout my two-story home, I use a wired Cisco router as my main Internet router which then "feeds" an Ethernet network to each room on both floors. In the downstair family room and in an upstairs office, I have connected an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) to these Ethernet runs. Overall, I have configured the routers for a "roaming" type network and can literally walk a wireless laptop from room-to-room throughout the house and still be on the "same" wireless network.
... so what you are proposing should work just fine.

Does simple file and folder sharing on an iMac work with OSX Server?

Hi There
I wonder if I should install OSX Server on an iMac wher several users work on the same files and folders.
My question - before I do something I might regret:
Does simple file and folder sharing on an iMac within several users really work with the help of OSX Server?
All I want to be able to do:
Admin creates a new folder1 and gives it read- and write access for user1 and user2.
User1 creates a subfolder1 in folder1, and a document1 in subfolder1.
User2 edits document1. Later Admin edits document1.
All these simple editing of files and folders (and subfolders) within a main folder should be possible. This is not possible now.
Is everything clear? I'm not a network specialist or something, I just want to give some co-workers access to some data on my computer without problems.

So what you need are recursive permissions.
I suggest you create a group and add user1 and user2 to that group. You can name that group whatever you want, but for now i will call it FSUsers
Execute this in terminal. Replace FSUsers with your new group
sudo chmod -R +a "FSUsers allow list,add_file,search,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextat tr,writeextattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /Users/Shared/*
Replace /Users/Shared with the location of your shared folder. Make sure you keep the /* at the end (this allows all subfolders and files to get the same permissions.
If you need to add people to the share just add them to the FSUsers group, the FSUsers group should should also be allowed in the sharing preferences.

FCP 7.0.3 won't open project files with OSX Lion.

After upgrade to Lion, FCP 7.0.3 won't open existing project files (built with 10.6.8) Error message is "wrong file type". Help?

If deleting your preferences doesn't work, here are some more troubleshooting tips
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2591
If you like, you could send me a project file that won't open. I'll check it on my system and we can eliminate the possibility that the project files have been corrupted. Me email is in my profile. Be sure and compress project file before attaching to email (control click on file and choose "compress." this will create a zipped version of the file that's suitable for attachment.).

Problems with installation of system and support files with Labview 5.1 on Windows NT.

I make installations disks with Labview 5.1 on Windows NT and I need to add some system files and other support files. When I'm in App Builder I choose them in "Add support files" and I mark their "custom directory destination" (c:\winnt\system32, c:\est\base) but, when I test the installation I see that files don't save in this directory, they save in 'C:\c\winnt\system32' and 'C:\c\est\base'. How can I solve this problem?

Jorge,
I know there were some problems with the LabVIEW 5.1 Application Builder that were fixed in the LabVIEW 5.1.1 Updater. I recommend you download that update to see if this fixes the problem. Also, double-check to make sure you have typed the file paths correctly. If you continue to have problems after installing the 5.1.1 updater, please let me know, and please attach your .bld file so I can examine it for any problems.
Thanks for your patience on this issue, and have a pleasant day.

Trouble to read OS 9 iMovie files with OSX 10.4.6 from ext. HD FAT32

First a big "Hello" to all of you, since I am new in this comunity as registered user.
With my (good old dead old) iMac DV400 I saved multiple iMovie projects on an external 250gb firewire harddisk which is FAT32 formated. With OS 9 there was never ever any trouble. Except that the FAT32 caused a very low but sufficient data transfer rate. Beside this the drive behaves and appeared like Mac drive - in OS 9.
Now I have an Intel-iMac (as I said the other is dead) which runs under OSX 10.4. When I access now the ext. HD I see all the junk files as Finder.dat or resource.xxx folder ect. But some files have lost their application. In particular all iMovie related files I cannot open with iMovie neither klicking the icons nor via the iMovie "open..." dialog. All this files have strange icon looking like the old DOS c:/ -prompt. In addition I realized that my very few mp3 files without the ".mp3" extension were also not recognized as iTunes files. I had to rename them and added a ".mp3". (I had never such issues with OS 9x).
Since there a plenty of iMove files (all project files, all clips) and plenty work done (movie taking, movie editing) I really like to recover all this files.
Any ideas out there? Any older thread available - here or elsewhere in the net?
Thanks, Joe

Problems deleting files with OSX 10.8.3

Since updating my 2009 MBP to 10.8.3 I am asked for the admin password to delete files. The files disappear, but are not sent to the trash or clear space on the hard drive. Now my MBP is running out of space on the start up disk.

Just researched the fix for this and applied this and it seems to work:
1. Go to Terminal ( Make sure your set up as Admin)
2. Type sudo chown yourname .Trash
3. Enter your admin password
You may get a no such directory message

Sharing iTunes library between 2 computers and 2 iPods via network disk?

Hi,
Me and the missus each got a laptop -hers a PC and mine a MacBook.
We both use iTunes and we've both got an iPod.
Recently I bought an Aiport Express and hooked it up with a 1TB WD MyBook -is there any way that we can share our iTunes library via the network disk, so that we can 1. have full read/write access from both laptops and 2. both sync our iPods?
Furthermore, is there a way for iTunes to monitor the music folder, so instead of me dragging music into iTunes (e.g. CD's that were ripped with other software than iTunes) iTunes would just update every once in a while, to check for new mp3's (kinda like Picasa does with pictures)?
More questions most likely will pop up, but this is the most pressing ones.
Thanks in advance
/Jakob F.

*is there a way for iTunes to monitor the music folder, so instead of me dragging music into iTunes*
iTunes doesn't support folder watching, anything you add to a folder on your hard drive has to be manually added to the iTunes Library: Adding Content to iTunes
You could have a look at this Applescript for folder watching on a Mac: Doug's Applescripts - Folder Actions and iTunes or this program for Windows: iTunes Folder Watch for Windows
You'd need to do a deeper bit of research on both as I don't know if either would work from a folder that's effectively not on either computer

Printing with HP envy110 - slow via network

I've installed an HP Envy 110 and have great easy printing from my iPhone and iPad. However, I've linked it as a network printer to my Apple Network based upon a Time Capsule via wireless and experience major delays in printing. Has anyone any advice about how to overcome this delay. I think I may have to cable connect to the Time Capsule router - if so what a shame.

Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). You can find the DHCP range of the router using its internal settings page or in its manual. Use the CD that came with your router or type the router's IP address (ends in .1) into a browser.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway, first and second DNS fields.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

Hello! Recently encountered a problem with OSX start, after an emergency shutdown macbook

Hello! Recently encountered a problem after an emergency shutdown macbook (it was shut off due to low battery) and now I can not boot in OS X, the fact that I can't see what became of OSX, so as I have in parallel is Windows that is loaded instead of OS X (video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oSTZhaVy9g sorry for the quality, with YouTube's nothing you can do) When you select a disk partition with OSX in Windows, via Bootcamp the same. What could it be? Maybe there is a function of the last successful run? I have the opportunity to the entire disk with OS X, from file system to programs. Moreover, OS X has remained 1password. I would be very grateful for help, because the answer is never found. I have MBP 371 ll/a with OSX 10.9.5.

Yes, I can see the partition with OS X and Windows, better watch the video, it demonstrates this point.
