Sharing windows xp folder with a mc
I have recently set up my powerbook to utilize my home wireless network to get on the net. I recently attempted to get ny mac to share a folder with my Windows PC and vice versa. I am able to browse my mac just fine from my windows pc however I cant even see my windows shared folder from my powerbook. I setup both computersw to be on the same workgroup, enabled SAMBA on my powerbook and the whole nine yards. Could someone please help? I have a powerbook G4 1.67 ghz 15 inch, using a 2wire homeportal 1000sw for the wireless networking, and Win XP Pro on my PC that is hooked into the 2wire directy via ethernet.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Ensure that the PC account which has shared the folder has a password.

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.

Sharing windows hp printer with solaris
hi
I have hp laser jet P1102 printer which i want to share with solaris. I have added the printer in solaris using lpadmin but i am not able to print to this printer.
I have another printer which is laserjet 1320 which is added to solaris box in the same way and i am able to print without any issues.
i would like to know if there is any step to know if a printer would print successfully from unix.
looking forward to your support.thank you very much for your reply
so when i buy a new printer i how do i know it will be able to print from solaris. By comparing the above two printers i can see that one printer is Postscript enabled which is actually printing from solaris. So if i buy a printer that supports posscript will it print properly?
please correct me if my understanding is wrong becuase we need to buy a printer which will print from solaris.

Has anyone had a problem getting creative cloud to work when you have a windows user folder with '&' in it. e.g 'Rob & Mich'?
I do know that ODD characters in file/folder names cause problems for Premiere Pro and Encore, so I would find it "likely" that odd characters would do the same for the Cloud in general

Sharing an IFS folder on AS/400 with a windows server
Hi to all,
I need to share an IFS folder with a windows server. I have created an AS/400 NetServer file share by using Operations Navigator, with no problems.
From windows server, I create a Map Network drive, setting an AS/400 user and password. Then I can see the IFS folder on AS/400. The problem, is that I only can use that drive when I am logged on Windows server with the user that I have created the drive.
I need that the drive is always available for the windows server, in order that a SAP instance that runs in the windows server can use that drive. I need to use that drive in Tr. OAC0 for Basic path and Archive path.
Perhaps, is there another option of Mapping a network drive?
Some ideas, how I can do that?
Regards
Eduardo Barrios
Compañía Cervecera de Canarias S.A.Hi Eduardo ,
I would think if you set up the network drive with the <SID>ADM user ID or <SID>NN user ID/password, it may be more helpful as the SAP system runs under those user ID's...Creating these User ID on windows with the same user name/password will also help.
But before we get on to that.I believe you are trying to set up DMS/archivelink on a file based system.
Why don't you do it on MAXDB ? That is much more stable and will give you probably better managebility and performance.
In a file system , there would be one folder created for each document..
Its gets messier very easily...huge number of folders..
Just to let you know, content server as far as I know, is not yet supported on iseries.
Thanks

Cannot find shared windows printer with NEW macbook running leopard HELP!
I just bought a new Macbook this past week. Woo Hoo. I love everything about it with the exception of file sharing and printer sharing. I have a less than one year old pc running vista that is connected to a hp 1300 series all in one printer. I can not even find this printer anywhere on the mac. i have been able to connect to my pc server via the ip address and share files this way. I am at a loss and really have no knowledge of mac. it is really disheartening, as I had way less trouble setting up windows networks for my roommates in college.
Also, as a side helper, how can I setup a shared folder that can be accessed from both the mac and the pc. I would like something that I can set on the desktop of both in order to share files better and more efficiently than connecting to a server everytime I want to do this. Please help, and explain as if I am as stupid as I appear.
Thanks.Here are two articles that may help:

Installed a new Windows PC on my home network. PC is Windows 8/64bit. with latest version of itunes 11.1.4.62 for 64bit. My itunes works, but I can not get Home Sharing to function now. None of my Apple TV's can see my computer library and prompt me to turn it on. All of my iphones, pods, pad, can not use the "Remote" app. When you prompt your phone in Remote App to "add library" and you get the code....iTunes doesnt give you the remote screen where you can enter the code. I have reloaded iTunes, reset my router, updated all devices. You can turn on "Home Sharing" on iTunes, but then it closes and doesnt seem to link my devices like it use to. Also, when the new version of iTunes is up on my PC, you can see the other devices to AirPlay to like you could before. However, I can send items from my iphone to stream to an Apple TV, I just cant link them all like I could before and control the music playing to multiple Apple TV. Growing fustrated. Any ideas, would be helpful.

You are a legend!! I have spent countless hours uninstalling, reinstalling itunes, playing with firewall settings, reading articles on this problem!! I only have to un-sync my iphone 5 and then the airplay icon magically appeared!!! Maybe I have too many devices syncing via wi-fi, or maybe it is the Iphone syncing??
Whatever - one step and now I can enjoy my music through my house again!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you -
I just recently purchased this macbook. The optical drive was faulty, i opened it up and rubbed alcohol on the lens and that didnt work. I connected an old ide dvd rw drive in a 3.5 enclosure and it seems to work like a charm. I installed snow leopard with it so i know that it is in complete working order. I also upgraded the ram so that should not be an issue either. This is a first generation macbook 1.1 with the core duo processor. I just want to install my xp professional operating system onto this unit. I have the original xp professional disk with service pack 2, not a burned iso. When i try to launch the windows installer the dvd drive fires up and it seems like its attempting to launch windows then the screen goes from bright white to a folder with a question mark on it. From there nothing happens. Is there something i can do or that i am missing here?
Your problem is not Boot Camp, in fact, is your optical drive. Win XP requires indeed sp2, but also the internal drive, does not work from external optical drive.
For other possible tricks, please use the appropriate Boot Camp forum, not here. Mac OS X may be installed from both external and internal optical drive and/or internal/external partition of a disk, any disk. Windows is not so generous. -

Sharing p4014n printer on windows 7 machine with XP machine
I have installed a Laserjet P4014n on a new Windows 7 machine with the USB connection - I allowed it to detect and install the drivers automatically. The printer works great on the Win7 machine.
I shared the printer and would now like to have an XP machine also be able to use it for printing. However when I add a printer and I browse out to the shared printer on the Win7 machine, the XP machine gives the error: "The server for the HP LaserJet P4014/P4015 PCL6 printer does not have the correct printer driver installed. If you want to search for the proper driver click OK. Otherwise click Cancel..." I tried to find the correct driver (.INF) file on the CD that came with the printer, but it does not seem to like any of the files on the CD.
I have tried to install on the XP machine the drivers using the CD that came with the printer, but because there is not a printer connected, it will not install. I have also downloaded the XP drivers (PCL6 and Universal Printer Drivers for PCL5 and PCL6) for the printer from the HP website, and tried to browse to those when installing the drivers but it still cannot find a file it likes.
What file should I be looking for on the CD or downloaded files for XP?
I also tried to add additional drivers on the Win7 machine but again can not find a file that installs from the CD or downloaded files.i am having the same problem. the printer is installed on a new windows 7 computer and we are trying to share it to a windows vista computer. did you figure out how to get it to work?! we r getting very frustrated!!

Installing Creative Cloud applications from shared windows folder.
Hello.
I got new laptop for work use and I am installing creative cloud on it. However laptop ain't that fast and I am wondering that would it be possible to install creative cloud applications from shared windows folder, since I have downloaded and installed all creative cloud applications on my desktop machine already and laptop is intented for working while not at home.rpr
This would increase installing speed since all those needed files would be available from Local Area Network, which is faster and my broadband and it also would allow hard drive to focus on installing files instead of current simulataneous reading and writing to same hard drive.Hello.
