Sharing to Windows

Hi, I have problems with my imacg3, I want to share to windows... please help me, i cant fix this problem...

Hi wevster;
How about some more details here?
Exact what do you mean by sharing windows?
What applications do you have open in order to get these windows?
Is the sharing to be done between users on the same computer or between computers?
If between computers, how are the computers connected?

Unable to connect to HP PSC1510 shared at Windows XP

As the title suggests I've got a HP PSC1510 All-in-one printer attached by USB to a Windows XP Pro SP2 machine. The printer has been shared in Windows.
I've tried following various articles on the Apple Support site, but nothing seems to work. I can't locate the printer on the network, and as a result I can't connect to it.
Is there some trick that I am overlooking? Any help would be very welcome.

There are two issues here - connection protocol and driver. For driver, look up your model here and install the recommended driver:
http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/macosx
(You need a CUPS driver because HP's driver was written for USB only)
Then follow this guide:

Connect Mac OS 10.6 to canon ip3600 shared on windows XP home

I am trying to connect my Mac OS 10.6 to a canon ip3600 printer shared on windows XP home. I have read dozens of posts on this topic and tried dozens of solutions. Although the Mac will identify the printer and apparently connect, when I print nothing comes out of the printer. During my reading around the topic, I have come to the conclusion that my printer has a particularly troubled relationship with Macs. If there is anyone out there who has chosen the same configuration of products I would be extremely pleased to hear how they eventually established printing to the shared printer.

Unfortunately it is not possible to use the Canon MF series from a Mac when the printer is being shared by Windows. This is due to limitations of Canon's UFR2 driver for OS X.
But if your wireless router has an Ethernet port then you would be able to print from the Mac and from Windows if the MF4680 Ethernet port was connected to the Ethernet port of the wireless router. All the printer will require is an IP address, which the router can assign automatically (DHCP). If your wireless router does have an Ethernet port and you need information on how to set the MF4680 to DHCP then please reply.

Networking ~ File Sharing With Windows Vista

Alright, I've browsed enough of the web and I've tried a lot to try and resolve this issue, but none of it has worked at all for me. Here's my scenario about as specific as it gets:
I have a home private network consisting of two Windows Vista PCs, a HP Photosmart Printer, a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.1, and an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4. The network is routed through a Medialink MWN-WAPR300N router connected to a Time Warner Cable modem which goes to the Internet. My primary PC, the MacBook Pro, and the iPhone 5 all connect wirelessly; the other PC and printer connects via Ethernet. All devices connect to the Internet flawlessly, and they are all assigned a static LAN IP address through the router because I portforward to one of my PCs, and the router requires it. The network was originally configured using one of the PCs as a Private network under the default workgroup, "WORKGROUP". Everything else router-specific is automatic.
Here's the problem: My MacBook and my primary PC do not communicate over the network at all. Both the MacBook and my primary PC can file share with the other PC connected via Ethernet, and they can both print just fine. After using LAN Scan v1.02 by Nutec Apps, LLC on my iPhone however, neither my primary PC nor the MacBook Pro shows up on the list of LAN devices. But that's not all, the MacBook Pro always recognizes the other PC via Ethernet in Finder, and the MacBook Pro can be found in both PC's Network list. However, when I try to connect to it via my primary PC, it says that "[My MacBook] is not a valid host name." What?
To futher satisfy my curious mind, I set up a small Peer-to-Peer network between my primary PC and the MacBook Pro via Ethernet. Both devices instantly recognized each other and connected without any issues. I was able to transfer files at approximately 100mb/s and I was stoked. I then disconnected and tried to transfer over the network again, and there was nothing there. I have even done ping tests over the network to the MacBook Pro's LAN IP address, and it came back with no response.
I've restarted both computers numerous times, played around with file sharing settings, set appropriate sharing permissions, disabled firewalls, enabled sharing for Windows on the MacBook Pro, enabled file sharing on the Windows PC, you name it. I'm sure there is a small fix that I may have overlooked, but I cannot figure out what the problem is for the life of me. Because the operation worked via Ethernet, and it's working wireless-to-Ethernet, but not wireless-to-wireless, I have a feeling that the problem is related to one or both of the wireless configurations.
Thanks in advance for any help provided, if there is anything I missed I will be happy to proivde more details per request. This issues has been bugging me for weeks now and it's time I seeked professional help

Alright, I am still having the problem and I have the results of the ifconfig command if it will be of any help to any Apple techies out there:

Cav-Mac:~ Drew$
The section in question is where it says bridge100 because the IP address listed under that section reads 192.168.2.1, as previously suggested. However another IP address is listed above it as 192.168.1.104, which is exactly what it should be as I have it assigned via DHCP in the router. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, because this is driving me crazy.
PS: I apologize for the confusion. I made a typo in my previous post about my MacBook's LAN IP address. It should be 192.168.1.104, not 103. I can confirm that it is listed as *.104 in my router and it shows *.104 on the above ifconfig. Please ignore the *.103, thanks

HP All-in-One 2355 Shared from Windows PC - Cannot print from any Mac

Hi all!
I have a HP All-in-One 2355 printer. It is installed correctly on my Mac, and when I try to use it connected by USB, works fine.
But the printer is all the time conected to a PC, where is installed to. The PC runs Windows XP, at is in the same Wireless network as my MacBook Pro. The printer is "shared" on this PC.
When I search the HP 2355 with my MacBook throught wireless, I can find it. I see it if I going to Preferences Settings, Printers, Windows, Workgroup... Then I can add the printer, but I can't select any driver to asign, because the driver for HP All-in-One 2350 series don't appear.
What can I do? I contacted with HP, but they tell me that they don't support sharing between Windows and Mac.
Please, Help me!

Install this three-part driver:

File Sharing With Windows

Right this is annoying the **** out of me. I've enabled everything I should on my Mac to get it sharing with windows. I'm convinced I've broke my OSX, but there's clearly something I've missed which is stopping this from working that maybes someone else can see! So here we go
Gone to system preferences, sharing
-> Ticked file sharing
-> Ticked share files over SMB
-> Ticked my user
-> Added what I want to share and gave permission to everyone as read/write for public folder.
-> Gone to network preferences and setup the WINS server to the same group as my windows PC
Just got the standard apple firewall running on my mac. I've tried disabling this and letting anything through.
The problem im having is my windows laptop cant see my mac quite often. Sometimes it can, and when it can see my mac it only displays shared printers rather than any of my shared folders. The problem here is that I dont have any printers on my mac, and printer sharing is not enabled.
Any idea why this isnt working? I've disabled windows firewall/any other firewall on my windows laptop. My windows laptop can happily access the FTP and HTTP on my Mac. Just has issues file sharing.
I actually had this working a while ago for a day, then it's never worked since. I cant for the **** of it figure out why. I've gone through loads of tutorials to see if i've missed things. Some things have even told me to change a registry file in windows, which I've done to no success.
Cheers in advance!

Trouble sharing from windows desktop iTunes to IOS devices

When sharing from windows 7 desktop iTunes to IOS device using the music app, some songs will not play. They just scroll through the titles until it finds one that will play. Seems that m4p will not play but others will. What's the fix?

Okay, I figured it out! Automatically shows up when you create!

File and Printer sharing on Windows 7 Through Group Policy

Hi,
I was wondering how to enable File and Printer sharing on Windows 7 Through Group Policy. I have enabled the policy called: Allow inbound file and printer sharing exception.
But when I go to advanced sharing settings, it's still turned off.
Windows Server 2003 AD Domain, and I'm using the Group Policy Manager from my Windows 7 machine to edit the policy.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, there is no Group Policy setting for enabling and disabling File and Printer sharing. To do this, you may need to write a script and you can go to our Scripting Forum for help.
In addition, I would like to share the following with you:
Enable or Disable File Sharing for a User or Group by Using Group Policy
Network and Sharing Center Group Policy Settings
Hope this helps. Thanks.

File Sharing between Windows PC and MacBook Pro using Internet Sharing

I have a MacBook Pro and a Dell Latitude D820 running Windows XP SP2 and I want to connect both using any of these two options. I do not have a wireless router and I use Sprint 3G data card to access internet.
1) I access the internet using a EVDO data card on my MAC and use Internet sharing to access the internet on my Dell laptop. How do I access the files on my PC from my MAC?
2) I can have two EVDO data cards to access the MAC and PC independently. How can I setup file sharing between Windows laptop and MAC?

//SAP is shared in window Platform

Hi All,
Could anyone please let me know that why the SAP folder is shared in window platform.
I am talking about /USR/SAP, in this SAP is shared to all the user in server.
And i have unshared it as per the security policy, and from 1 month i have not found any issue in the system.
Hence, could any one please confirm why by default this folder is shared.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Prashant Dubey

> Could anyone please let me know that why the SAP folder is shared in window platform.
Because all tools use UNC paths (like
server\share) to access the tools and not drive letters.
Additionally, that is needed for the transport system and also if you have several application servers that share the same kernel.
> And i have unshared it as per the security policy, and from 1 month i have not found any issue in the system.
You may run into problems later (upgrades etc.)
> Hence, could any one please confirm why by default this folder is shared.
This topic is covered in the installation guide.

Can't find printer shared on Windows machine

I don't know how to connect my MacBook Pro to a printer shared by a Windows machine on my network. I have the Windows path to the printer but I don't know how to get Leopard to see the printer. (I tried the Windows tab in the Print and Fax control panel.) Can someone please tell me what is going on?

Okay, some things you need to confirm for me.
What is the workgroup name of the computer sharing the printer?
What is the ip address and subnet mask of the computer sharing the printer?
What is your Mac's ip address and subnet mask?
If your Mac and the PC have the same subnet (usually the first three numbers of the ip address) and the workgroup name is the same, then you should be able to see the share. If not, there is a manual method of connecting to a Windows share.
What you need to do is customise the add printer browser. After selecting to add a printer, control-click next to the More Printers icon to see a menu. Choose Customize Toolbar. Move the Advanced icon to the toolbar. Now click the Advanced icon to see a new menu. Change the top menu to Windows Printing. In the field after smb://, you can enter the computer name or ip address of the sharing computer, followed by a / then the printer share name. For example,
smb://192.168.40.12/Canon
Note that sometimes you have to also use account information in the queue name, especially when the guest account is disabled. In these cases, the queue name would be entered as follows;
smb://username:password@computer_name/printer_sharename
Once you enter the queue name you can then select the printer model. For some models of printers, you cannot use the driver supplied by the vendor. So you have to look at using CUPS based drivers such as those provided by Gutenprint.

I have to keep restarting AppleTV to see Home Sharing on Windows 7 iTunes

I used to have all my media on a NAS drive with modified ATV2 so I can access my movies on there. This worked absolutely perfect, except I was annoyed I could not store and play iTunes purchased movies from the NAS. So I decided to factory reset ATV back to normal with latest update (6.0.2) and invest in a Windows 7 computer (Acer Revo) so I can leave it on permanently with iTunes running so I can access all my movies, TV shows and pics on all my devices anytime in the house without having my Macbook always on. Now I have problems.
Multiple times a day, I go to Computers on Apple TV and it either says "there was a problem connecting to the computer" or to "turn home sharing on on the computer". The computer is running fine. I can see and access it on the network using my computers and other devices. iTunes is running. Home Sharing is On.
To fix it I have to restart Apple TV and then Apple TV can connect OK.
The AppleTV is connected via network cable to the router, and so is the server (no wifi). The router is a Technicolour Gateway.
I have disabled the Firewall on Windows 7, still same problem.
The server, and AppleTV both have static IP addresses assigned.
iTunes on Windows 7 is version 11.1.3.8
ATV2 software is 6.0.2
I do hope I can fix this, because I want to do it Apple's way, and have spent all this time moving my library to iTunes. But if I cant I have to modify ATV2 again and not use Home Sharing. I also wanted to purchase an ATV3 for my bedroom, and for the kids rooms, but I am not going to if this problem persists.
P.S. I do not believe I should have an Apple computer with iTunes on, this should work seamlessly with iTunes on Windows 7. So dont know what else I can do.
P.P.S. I can see this is a common problem, but I started a new thread because everyone else says they have to restart iTunes or the router to fix it. I do not have to do this. I have to restart AppleTV. So I wonder if its an AppleTV issue and not a router/iTunes/server issue.
Thanks

I also get this problem on my iPad, so probably not related to the AppleTV. On the iPad I restarted Airport Extreme this time, and then the iPad saw my Home Sharing.
So to recap, restarting the router or Airport Express allowed the iPad and AppleTV to see Home Sharing. Restarting AppleTV also allows AppleTV to see Home Sharing.
So does anyone have any idea?
Thanks

Desperately need help with a networked printer and SMB sharing for windows

Complete xServ newbie here. I'm a windows/novell admin, with limited experience in Unix and Linux.
Against my advice, a client of mine that owns a small office of 20 people bought an XServG5 to act as a server for 20 mixed Windows PCs. File sharing services are working fine. I've created the users, set up groups and rights - that's all good.
I cannot get an SMB shared printer to work from the windows machines. They run through the network printer install just fine, it shows up online, etc. However, when print jobs are submitted they DO show up in the printer queue on the server, sit there for a while, and then get moved to the completed box.
They never print. There's not any indication that the job is even submitted to the printer. I can print to the printer just fine from the server itself, but the windows clients don't work, but they don't return an error message.
Print services are running on the server, I've configured the printer name to be less than 12 characters for the share, and indeed it does pop right up during the "add network printer" routine.
Ideas? I'm not even sure what questions I'm supposed to be asking, such is my ignorance of the OS. I do know that I followed the documentation to a T, and according to Apple this should work.
Thanks in advance for the help. I'm extremely frustrated.

We have the same problem. Our printer worked for about 2 years but failed similar to yours after a system update.
Can you go into the Windows service, Logs, Printer Service. Copy and paste the log here. What I am looking for is a line like lpr: CANNOTCONNECTCLIENT or something similar to this.
What I expect is that you have a problem where the cups defined printer is not usable. We can't get our problem fixed either - but am just curious if you have the same thing. We reloaded our server, applied all of the update and still cannot get it to work.
Again, I think it stems from the update.

I have Windows 7 main library, iMac with additional library and Apple TV that I want to use home sharing, but windows library doesn't show as a computer on Apple TV.

I have music and movie library on an external drive connected to a Windows 7 machine. I also have home movies and other content on an iMac that I use. I want to turn on home sharing for both and connect them to Apple TV for display, music and podcast. They are all on the same wifi home network, but the Windows library doesn't show up on the ATV device.
I turned off all Windows firewall and I tried to configure port forwarding, but that didn't help.
I will say that this did work at some point, so a patch or an update, or some configuration change has caused it to stop workin at some point in the past six months to a year.
