Still not sure how to share files with my friend's Windows PC?

I went through all the help pages concerning this, but it doesn't seem to help any. On our house internet connection, both our computers use the same IP address. I tried connecting directly to his computer using ethernet cable, but his computer never showed up. Our workgroup name should be the same, his is WORKGROUP but I'm not sure how to officially make mine that. I went to Network in System Preferences and clicked on Advanced... then went to the WINS tab and it has workgroup in the workgroup box, does this mean my computer is using that workgroup name? I'm at a loss and would like to share files with my friend's computer.

Do you have a router?
If not then sharing files will not be easy.

How to share files with your friends ?

I downloaded the OS X server, but can not share files.
Please help me understand.

If your friends are not on your home network, you should upload the files to a public file server. If they are on your home network, use File Sharing. Either way, you don't need Server.

If you mean just moving files between a Mac and a PC with XP on it, get a USB flash drive, format it FAT32 (they usually come that way) and copy the files to that drive.

TS3212 Having problems downloading. OS is LINEX and I'm not sure how to load itunes with it.

Agreed. No native linux support. The only ways you could run iTunes with a primary linux system would be to a) dual boot, b) virtualize Windows with VirtualBox, VMware, etc., or c) attempt to run iTunes in Wine (which doesn't usually work very well). Dual boot would give you the benefit of complete support and usage of hardware and software, but virtualizing is a bit more convenient, since you would not have to reboot your linux host.

Can't share files with Macbbok Air and Windows XP PC

Despite several calls to apple support I am still unable to share files with the PC.The PC is wired to the router and the macbook is wireless.
I can see the shared files on my PC in the finder of the MAC but whan I click on the file it says that 'original item "shared file" cannot be found'.
or when connecting via go-connect to server-, the error message
' the volume "Shared file" cannot be mounted' appears, this is followed by a message 'sorry the operation could not be completewd because an unexpected error occurred (Eror code -6602)
I can also only connect as a guest via Finder and sometimes when trying to connect the error maessages do not appear but the computer seems to absorb a lot of CPU usage, get hot and freeze.
Any ideas please?
I have tried turning off firewalls on both computers and have spoken to support for the d link router who confirmed that the router doesnt block file sharing.

Actually, I just typed in smb://PCNAME without any folders, logged in as a guest (I don't have a password-enabled share setting in Windows 7), and my Mac kindly asked me which volume to mount. I chose Users, and it popped up in Finder. Fully browsable.

Adobe Creative Cloud - How To Share Files With Clients and Colleagues | Creative Suite Podcast: Designers | Adobe TV

In this episode of the Adobe Creative Suite Podcast, Terry White shows how to share Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign Files with clients and colleagues and all they'll need is a browser to comment and see your Photoshop Layers.
http://adobe.ly/10ZjpE4

Terry,
I guess I miss something. How can I share a folder of photos? When I return from a shoot, I select 20 of the pictures and need to share them with my client to pick up the favorites. Am I supposed to copy and past an URL for each image separately?
Sometimes I also work with a colleague, I need to share my favorites with him. Same issue.
We have tried Adobe Cloud, and then went for Dropbox. There we can share a folder and he can put even his pictures in it as well. That's what I call collaboration. And it is free (unlike Adobe Cloud). If you have some word in Adobe, please tell them to either drop it and make a deal with services like Dropbox, or make it properly.
Thanks.
Vaclav

How to share files with others?

Hello! I wanna share some files with my home mates who are both Windows users. I wonder how to do it.
Thanks

If you open up your system preferences, and along the Internet row, you should see a "Sharing" icon. Within there you would have the option to enable Windows File Sharing.
You may want to try this feature and follow the instructions within that preferences pane.
If this doesn't prove to be worthy, try establishing a connection through the internet (if available). Otherwise you could simply burn CD's from your Mac and transfer them that way to the PC's. This is of course if your Mac is a CD burner.
Hope this helps.

How to share files with iOS and android phone with my iPhone 6

I Just wanna know how to transfer files from iPhone to android phones and vise versa.

Best bet would be to use a third party cloud service such as DropBox or Box. Apps for them should be available for both platforms (they definitely are for iOS).

Not sure how to configure Weblogic with log4j.xml

I tried something VERY similar to this. I wasn't sure where to put this code below. I figured in a Servlet environment, it should probably go in a Listener. I found an existing class inside of Spring that does exactly that: org.springframework.web.util.Log4jConfigListener
I put my log4j configuration file into an entry in the classpath and configured web.xml as follows:

        <context-param>
            <param-name>log4jConfigLocation</param-name>
            <param-value>classpath:gov/pa/dep/formu/resources/log4j.properties</param-value>
        </context-param>
        <context-param>
            <param-name>log4jRefreshInterval</param-name>
            <param-value>30000</param-value>
        </context-param>
        
     <listener>
          <listener-class>org.springframework.web.util.Log4jConfigListener</listener-class>
     </listener>The server admin placed the actual log4j.properties file into an AppFileOverrides folder instead of under WEB-INF\classes. I don't know if this caused the problem or not. Since I also was using the DailyRollingFileAppender and running into problems LOSING my log entries each day because he file didn't get renamed, I followed Metalink BUG# 8459807, and used the datedFileAppender available at http://minaret.biz/tips/datedFileAppender.html.
When the application started, the server log showed that log4j was being configured but none of my logging statements were going into the logs. It wasn't until the server admin placed a copy of log4j.properties (a different log4j.properties with a rolling file appender) that the log statements started going into the file that was configured based on web.xml.
Surely, things can't be this difficult with log4j, and commons logging under WebLogic.
All I want is APPLICATION LEVEL LOGS that are specific to the day.
Can someone else elaborate on how they got this working?
thanks a bunch,
Eric

Hi,
The configuration wizard (config.sh) lets you create a WebLogic Domain, however and depending on others "Oracle Middleware" products installed on the same "Oracle Home" (directory where weblogic has been installed) the configuration wizard allows you create the new weblogic domain to support the others middleware products such as WebCenter.
When I say support It means that Configuration Wizard allows you to create the weblogic resources like JDBC connections, JMS services, and deploys all applications that integrates another product such as WebCenter.
I suggest create your domain with support for WebCenter and then from Admin Console create the JDBC resource to connect to other database such as JD Edwards database.
I hope this help.

Is there a training program for iCloud and how to use it effectively. I have downloaded the booklet but not sure how I access files, photos saved on iCloud.

I am trying to understand cloud but have very little information for a non technical person. Is there any product that I can access that will provide me with step by step details on how to access things stored in Icloud. I have recenly lost all my data on my external hard drive and thought that I could restore through icloud.

It doesn't matter whick account you use to download the app.
You have to sign into the app (or iCloud.com from a web browser on your computer) with his Apple ID & password.
Find My iPhone will only work if it was enabled in the iCloud settings on the device and it was powered on with a connection to the internet

How to share files with users

I have a drive I am sharing with some other people and I want some people to be able to access some folders on the drive but not others. Does that mean I need to chance the permissions for each folder, or is there a way that I can change the permissions for one folder and have that applied to all folders within that folder?

Go into the get info screen for the folder.
Set who should be allowed to access those folders and the contained folders
Click on the gear at the bottom of the window and select "Apply to enclosed items"
It might take a little time to convert the permissions but when it is done, you should be all set.

Not sure how to share My I movie to a dvd.

Probably straight forward. Tried expert settings- streaming DV, AVI, and Quick time movie, and CD rom. None are recognizable in my DVD player. What is the supposed correct procedure for sharing the I movie to a DVD?

Thanks, Jay
