Sharing Windows XP files with Mountain Lion Macs

We have a mixed network with a Windows XP PC acting as a file and application server (no choice the application is PC specific). Just introduced a new user with a new MacBook with 10.8.2 and some (but only some) of the folders in the main shared directory on the Windows XP have a no entry symbol. Is this something to do with 10.8.2 or have I just not set up the Windows permissions correctly?

Thanks for trying to help. I wish it were a domain but unfortunately not and the PC is XP as it supports an old shared program. I may have found a good enough answer in KB 304040 but that will have to wait for the MacBook Air that was showing the problem to visit again.

  • 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    (not macfuse which is no longer maintained)

    install ntfs-3g (most recent binary 2010.10.2)

  • Can't install any .PKG or .MPKG files with Mountain Lion.

    Some weeks ago I found out, that I can't install anymore any programmes that are packed in .PKG or .MPKG files.
    Whenever I double click one of theese files, or when I try the "open with" option, I get a system response from TextEdit.App . . .
    I tried already some of the advices mentioned in the community forum, but nothing worked so far.
    Latest thing I tried was to re-associate these two file types with the Installer - but I couldn't find it anywhere.
    I've got an iMac27, late 2009, 16GB RAM, equipped with the latest version of Mountain Lion.
    Hope, you can help me - there are some updates (MS Office, MyTomTom, Logitech drivers, ...) that need to be installed.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dirk.

    I would go thus;
    1. Back up, preferably using bootable and verified clone(s).
    2. Boot into recovery and repair permissions/disc.
    3. Apply combo updater if step 2 was unsuccessful. (The link I have posted assumes you are running 10.7.3 as per your signature).

  • HT1899 Does Windows XP work with Mountain Lion or not compatible?

    Does Windows XP work with Bootcamp in Mountain Lion or is it not compatible?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Boot Camp 5, the version that comes with OS X Mountain Lion, is only compatible with Windows 7 and soon with Windows 8.
    However, if you upgrade from an older OS X version and you have Windows XP or Windows Vista installed with Boot Camp, you can continue using it without any problem, but you won't be able to update the drivers

  • Is 1st Generation iTV compatible with Mountain Lion Mac

    I have a 1st Generation iTV and amd having trouble getting it to show up in iTunes Devices. Does this mean that Lion does not recognise it or had is lost connection to iTunes.  If so how do I get it back as I need to get photos synced.  Or is this to do with the demise of MobileMe?

    They already announed, it support with the Fusion version 4.1.3

  • HT5409 Working with video files with Mountain Lion is horrible!

    This functionality is horrible. You can't import or delete individual files as you could with previous versions of the OS. Does anyone know of a work around?

    I guess that's where lots of people have problems moving to a Mac way of doing things.
    You want to go to the file and do something with it.
    I open an application that is going to help me do something with the content of the file and get the content within the application. The file is just a wrapper around the thing I want to access.
    How do you pull 1 clip out with Quicktime?
    I might be misunderstanding how you use quicktime player (if you use it at all), but from that link you posted, you open the AVCHD package in the private folder and choose a clip to open. Once open, you can export it to various formats.  They are all displayed in a grid. iMovie is the same for importing a clip. I would hope that Premiere has the same import function. Now that we've discussed this more, I don't imagine that is what you were doing at all. You just linked from that article to create a question.
    Now, that still leaves deleting the unwanted clips from the card, which I don't have an answer for except that I always do that on the camera as I figure it knows what its prefered file format is. The last thing I want to do is mess up the card so that the camera can't read it.

  • Audition CS5.5 compatible with Mountain Lion OS on Mac?

    Does anyone know if there are issues here? What about CS6? I  have not upgraded to CS6 yet, but I only moved to a Mac when Audition became available for Mac and have not had any problems. Thanks!

    Yes, we can confirm that Audition CS6 is compliant with Mountain Lion (Mac OS 10.8) and their are currently no known issues between the product and the new OS.
    While Audition CS5.5 is not the latest version of Audition, I can also confirm that it appears to work just fine as well.
    With the minimal backend architectural changes made to the new Mac OS (between Lion and Mountain Lion), we see no reason for users to be concerned.
    I hope that helps.
    Thanks,

  • CS 5 compatibility with Mountain Lion OS

    I'm thinking about installing Mountain Lion OS -10.8- and I would like to know if the CS5 -Photoshop, After effects, Premiere, Media Encoder, etc- is compatible with it or not. If it is not, what's the solution? Installing any complement to CS5? CS6?
    Thank you.

  • HT1338 Purchased a used macbook pro with Mountain Lion. My old Mac runs Snow Leopard is backed up to Time machine. How do I register the operating system to me and how do I use Time Machine to move my files to the new used computer?

    Purchased a used macbook pro with Mountain Lion. My old Mac runs Snow Leopard is backed up to Time machine. How do I register the operating system to me and how do I use Time Machine to move my files to the new used computer?

    If you look at the User Tips tab, you will find a write up on just this subject:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4053
    The subject of buying/selling a Mac is quite complicated.  Here is a guide to the steps involved. It is from the Seller's point of view, but easily read the other way too:
    SELLING A MAC A
    Internet Recovery, and Transferability of OS & iLife Apps
    Selling an Old Mac:
    • When selling an old Mac, the only OS that is legally transferable is the one that came preinstalled when the Mac was new. Selling a Mac with an upgraded OS isn't doing the new owner any favors. Attempting to do so will only result in headaches since the upgraded OS can't be registered by the new owner. If a clean install becomes necessary, they won't be able to do so and will be forced to install the original OS via Internet Recovery. Best to simply erase the drive and revert back to the original OS prior to selling any Mac.
    • Additionally, upgrading the OS on a Mac you intend to sell means that you are leaving personally identifiable information on the Mac since the only way to upgrade the OS involves using your own AppleID to download the upgrade from the App Store. So there will be traces of your info and user account left behind. Again, best to erase the drive and revert to the original OS via Internet Recovery.
    Internet Recovery:
    • In the event that the OS has been upgraded to a newer version (i.e. Lion to Mountain Lion), Internet Recovery will offer the version of the OS that originally came with the Mac. So while booting to the Recovery Disk will show Mountain Lion as available for reinstall since that is the current version running, Internet Recovery, on the other hand, will only show Lion available since that was the OS shipped with that particular Mac.
    • Though the Mac came with a particular version of Mac OS X, it appears that, when Internet Recovery is invoked, the most recent update of that version may be applied. (i.e. if the Mac originally came with 10.7.3, Internet Recovery may install a more recent update like 10.7.5)
    iLife Apps:
    • When the App Store is launched for the first time it will report that the iLife apps are available for the user to Accept under the Purchases section. The user will be required to enter their AppleID during the Acceptance process. From that point on the iLife apps will be tied to the AppleID used to Accept them. The user will be allowed to download the apps to other Macs they own if they wish using the same AppleID used to Accept them.
    • Once Accepted on the new Mac, the iLife apps can not be transferred to any future owner when the Mac is sold. Attempting to use an AppleID after the apps have already been accepted using a different AppleID will result in the App Store reporting "These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID".
    • It appears, however, that the iLife Apps do not automatically go to the first owner of the Mac. It's quite possible that the original owner, either by choice or neglect, never Accepted the iLife apps in the App Store. As a result, a future owner of the Mac may be able to successfully Accept the apps and retain them for themselves using their own AppleID. Bottom Line: Whoever Accepts the iLife apps first gets to keep them.
    SELLING A MAC B
    Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
    Step One - Back up your data:
    A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
    B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
    1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
    2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
    3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
    side.
    4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
    sure to opt for that.
    Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
    startup drive. 
    Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
    1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
    2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
    3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
    4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
    5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See.What to do with iCloud before selling your computer
    Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
    A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
    1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
    2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
    3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
    Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
    4. Install OS X.
    5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
    6. Shutdown the computer.
    B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
    it is three times faster than wireless.
    1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
    Utilities window appears.
    2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button. 
    3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
    on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
    and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
    5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
    7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
    *If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License.

  • After migrating to a retina macbook with mountain lion I can not play windows media player files with flip4mac anymore

    After migrating to a retina macbook with mountain lion I can not play windows media player files anymore. I use flip4mac pro 3.0 and quicktime 7.6.6.
    The message I receive is: De bewerking kan niet worden voltooid. (OSStatus fout -50). I also have problems with zip files that can not be saved on the desktop anymore while unzipping.

    I actually installed Quicktime pro and Flip4Mac Pro again after I bought the Retina Macbook. Today I did it again but still get the same OSStatus error -50. I guess there is some old file that has to be removed. Flip4Mac comes with an uninstaller. Quicktime does not.
    I read that his could be something with security that is why I mention the problem with the zip files as well.

  • Is there a way to run Internet Explorer on a Mac mini with mountain lion?

    I need to access a professional website that only works with IE (don't get me started on THAT) I need to do billing using this site so need to have full functionality.  Is there a way to run IE on my mac mini with mountain lion?

    The key takeaway here is that yes, you can access Windows 7 (and IE 9) from OS X Mountain Lion.
    The crucial question is about your workflow. If you need concurrent access to both Windows 7 and Mountain Lion, then the Bootcamp solution included with Mountain Lion would not be the right choice. You would need one of the virtualization solutions.
    If you need helpdesk support from a paid product, rather than entirely from a community forum, then the latest Parallel's Desktop or VMware would be a matter of choice, with Parallel's the better decision at this point. Either of these products are under $100, in addition to the cost of a Windows 7 license. You may need the Windows 7 installation media as an .ISO file, rather than on DVD. Check requirements.
    By example, I use Oracle's VirtualBox (free) on Mountain Lion, with a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit guest. The interactive and network performance of this Windows guest are more than adequate on my 2011 mini. I assigned 3 GB memory and 2 of 4 processor threads to the Windows 7 guest. I also restricted guest CPU use to 80%. VirtualBox is installed on my SSD, but the Windows guest is on an external HDD. That is not a default configuration. There are multiple choices for display; from full-screen 1920x1200 (mine) to an isolated resizeable window, to seamless integration with OS X. The Apple keyboard, bluetooth devices (trackpad/mouse), and printer all are recognized. I also have a shared OS X folder with VirtualBox, and copy/paste integration.
    I use VirtualBox as it meets my support (forum) and functional requirements.
    Best wishes,

  • If I buy a mac with mountain lion and then upgrade to mavericks wil I get iWork for free, If I buy a mac with mountain lion and then upgrade to mavericks wil I get iWork for free

    If I buy a mac with mountain lion and then upgrade to mavericks will I get iWork for free.

    If you buy a new Mac with Mountain Lion, any included software is free and can be redownloaded from AppStore for that machine only. Some software only gets reinstalled if OS X (only) gets installed over itself to fix issues. See #8 Step here.
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    If you upgrade to Mavericks usually only OS X itself is changed (sometimes the hidden User Library is also), all the  software (and user accounts) also carries over (compatible or not), and Apple's software is upgraded.
    So if your new Mountain Lion Mac comes with free iWork, then when you upgrade to Mavericks it will still be there.
    If your new Mountain Lion does not come with free iWork, then it won't magically appear for free if you upgrade to Mavericks.
    If you need a free Office suit, I suggest you look at the donationware LibreOffice.
    You will likely need to control key or right click to "Open" LibreOffice to approve through OS X's "Gatekeeper".
    You will need to manually update it also, as it's not on AppStore.
    https://www.libreoffice.org/
    Benefit of LibreOffice is it's completely cross-platform compatible, so you can share working files with Windows and Linux users, which you can't with iWork.
    You also should learn Microsoft Office when you have the funds, because it's standardized in the business world.
