Tiger 10.4 and DAVE Windows sharing by Thursby

I just loaded 10.4.7 onto my G4, uninstalled DAVE 3.1, tried to connect to Windows and got "DAVE is not configured correctly. Please run the DAVE Setup Assistant." I'd uminstalled and deleted any DAVE files I could find. Now what do I do?

Dhcp address used in terminal and for windows sharing

Ok. I posted something about this before but with a large PHP reference.
Want I want to know is why when I open terminal I get a DCHP address and not the name of my HDD? I even went as far as to reinstall everything and the same thing shows up. It also shows up this way for file sharing... what is going on? Please help.

The computer name that shows up in the Terminal app is controlled by System Preferences->Sharing->Computer Name. Click on the Edit button and put in anything you want. As a long-time Unix user, I prefer localhost, so that's what's on my machine.

Printer Sharing and Windows Sharing with Windows Vista

Today I tired setting up a printer sharing network over my linksys wireless router. I turned the printer sharing on and the windows sharing on my mac. Then I launched my notebook with vista on it and installed Bonjour for Windows 1.0.3. Once the installation finished I ran the wizard and installed the shared Epson Stylus Photo 1280 printer.
Once I finished the wizard I gave the printer a go.
I tried printing a word document on my Vista machine using the new wireless set up and nothing happens the printer queue gains the document spools it and then it's gone. Then, I tried using Vistas Sharing set up. After setting up another printer icon (the same printer). When I go to print I get an error message.
Also when I try accessing my shared folder from my vista machine. I use my Username and password for the login. The computer responds that my Mac Mini's username and password is incorrect. Thus, I cannot fileshare between by Mac Mini and my Vista Laptop
What can I do to get my printer sharing and my windows sharing set up to work.
(also, my Epson Stylus Photo 1280 Printer is hooked up to my mac mini through USB).
Please respond
Thank you

I did not succeed using the PC’s name - even though the workgroup is set correctly.
Might try Bonjour for Windows...

Which may also cure the Printer Sharing problem.
Oh. make sure Printer Sharing IS NOT set on the Mac, if it is turn it off & reboot.

How to disable Windows Sharing -- for real

To move files between my Mac and PC I used Windows Sharing on my MacBook Pro. It works like a charm.
To enable I go to System Preferences >> Sharing, check the "Windows Sharing" box, press the "Start" button, and enable Windows Sharing for my OS X user account.
I can then just type my Mac's IP into Windows Explorer on my XP box and voila, full access to my Mac home directory (after typing in my username and password, of course).
When I'm done I disable WS by performing the activation steps in reverse, and OS X happily says "Windows Sharing Off." However, I find that even though it's off I can still access my Mac from XP. In fact, I'm not even prompted for my password again.
How do I really turn off Windows Sharing in 10.4.8? Neither my XP box nor my Mac get restarted often, so if my XP box (the weaker link) was compromised, I don't like knowing that my Mac could be reached so easily with full control.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Strange, but I'd start of by verifying Permissions with Disk Utility, and if that didn't work I'd try Trashing...
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
/Users/nnnnLibrary/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
Reboot and set everything up again.
And/Or, get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, boot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.

Does Tiger require ownership (and sharing) of wired printers on a wireless LAN? My G4 (Tiger) is also wired to the LAN, and can access all wired printers through the router. Wireless Macs cannot even find the printers.

Does Tiger require ownership (and sharing) of wired printers on a wireless LAN? My G4 (Tiger) and all printers are wired to the LAN, and the G4 can access all printers through the router. Additional wireless Macs (Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion) cannot even find the printers. Yet, if the G4 shares the printers, then ALL computers on the LAN can access them. However, this requires the G4 to remain powered. Is there a workaround that would allow me to shut down the G4 and still use the printers?

Hello BDAqua!
Well, I am halfway there. Following your steps on the Snow Leopard MBP, the newer printer (a Canon MX860 inkjet) appeared automatically under the "default" icon on the ADD printer window. I used the IP icon with the HP Jetdirect-Socket protocol to find and add the older printer, (an HP 4000N). That required running a configuration page from the printer to locate its IP address. I printed to both printers through this laptop with success!
I then followed exactly the same procedure with the Mountain Lion MBP. For both installation attempts, I got an error message window: Unable to verify the printer on your network. "192.168.111" may not exist or is unavailable at this time. Would you still like to create the printer? If I click Continue, it creates the icon and name in the printer list. However when I attempt to print from an app. the next message says, 'Printer is unavailable.'
Why one laptop finds and uses both printers, and the newer laptop does not, just floors me!
Thank you for your ongoing assistance.

I enabled computer home sharing between my fiance's apple computer and my windows. I am able to play his music on my computer now, however I am making playlists for our wedding, and am unable to transfer any of his songs to my playlists.How can I do this?

I enabled computer home sharing between my fiance's apple computer and my windows computer, so I now can play his music on my computer; however, I am making playlists for our wedding and am unable to transfer any of his songs to my playlists. How can I do this?

Thanks
Are you sure that if I use my windows log in rather than my husbands, then open itunes it won't delete all his hundreds of songs and overwrite with mine?
I want to maintain my own apple ID login and he wants his but without losing his songs.....
how do i transfer the content of my itunes including apps and songs to the new computer. There doesn't seem to be an easy explanation on here. Do I just plug my iPhone in and it will all transfer?

Windows Sharing and resource fork problems

Hello, I am into my second month of Mac ownership and today I tried to enable Windows Sharing to allow a PC here to map to the Mac and share files.
I enabled the Windows Sharing feature in the System Preferences. Then I tried to map to the mac using the PC (Win XP). The PC sat there for a while (maybe about 30 secs or so) trying to connect, then displayed an error message saying a semaphore timed out (I don't remember it exactly).
Anyway, I went back into System Preferences and all the options for Sharing were greyed out. I couldn't turn off or turn on anything!!
So I looked in the console log and found the following errors:
2006-08-30 18:12:40.119 System Preferences[15066] [NOTE: this exception originated in the server.]
couldn't fork
/sbin/service: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

2006-08-30 18:54:23.310 System Preferences[21650] hardwareCheckThread got an exception name:NSInternalInconsistencyException reason:couldn't fork
In the System log there are a whole bunch of these messages:
Aug 30 18:11:23 localhost kernel[0]: proc: table is full
I went into the Terminal and tried to get to a command prompt but it just sat there with a blank screen.
So I shut a bunch of apps I had open down only keeping Firefox open and I searched online for issues regarding this error - found information telling me I could kill the smbd processes and up the max proc limit.
After waiting a while (didn't want to reboot - I'm stubborn :-)), reopened Terminal and could see the command prompt. But anything I tried to do regarding killing the smbd processes or even doing a directory listing or a process listing gave the error: fork: resource temporarily unavailable
So I just waited it out - eventually I was able to kill the smbd processes. After I did that, I went back into System Preferences and was able to work with the Sharing preferences again (I disabled Windows Sharing).
And after all that, here is my question(s):
- is this problem going to keep happening when I turn on Windows Sharing and a PC tries to map to the Mac?
- do I need to up the process limit if I'm going to turn on Windows Sharing?
- is there a bug/issue I don't know about regarding this and a fix?
- and last but not least, am I doing something wrong?
Thank you for your help.

There were some Macbook/SMB specific problems that suppossedly got fixed with the 10.4.6 update, but I'd try the 10.4.7 Combo Update, as Deltas have more problems.

Session backing beans and multiple navigator windows sharing session

Hi let's suppose i have a web and page1, page2 and page3 that should share the backingbean. Normal navigation goes from page 1 to page 2 to page 3.
I do not want a backing bean per page because i need to share data between my pages. The immediate solution is to put this bean in session context and use it in each page. But this has severe drawbacks:
- The backing bean is the same each time I access any page, and I want a new bb to be used each time the user requests for page 1
- When a user has more than one navigator window sharing session, and on each window he is navigating through pages 1 to 3, there can be a big mess because he is accessing to the same bb from both windows.
So I would like to find a solution that permit the user to navigate from both windows as if the windows had its own session.
Any hint?
Thnx

I have a similar problem as described .
I hava one window with enterable fields and when you click on a button it opens another window .Both forms are backed by the same bean .since both forms are nearly the same .
The bean is a managed bean in request scope .
when I fill in the first window with values and click on the link it opens the second but the first windows elements and now empty .
Even though it is in Request scope when the second window is being loaded the bean is re-initialized . I would expect a new intance of this bean to be created for the second window .
This is how I am calling the second window .
<h:commandButton id="newRequestItem" action="#{requestItem.createNewRequestItem}" rendered="#{createActivationRequest.displayCreateLinks}" onclick="openNewPage('NewRequestItem.jsp');"
image="images/show_all.gif" title="new request">
<h:outputText value="new request" styleClass="toolbar-command"></h:outputText>
</h:commandButton>
function openNewPage(url)
aqcbwin= window.open(url, "newRequestItem","toolbar=no, scrollbars=1");
aqcbwin.moveTo(50, 50);
target="_new";
//target="_blank";
aqcbwin.focus();
any ideas to what is wrong and how I can correct this .
Thanks for your help .

WIndows XP and MacBook file sharing

i want to share files between my MB black and my Windows XP
sharing them over a LAN is the most logical way (no internet, files are too large to be transfered with a flash drive)
i have an airport express that i connect to through airport and the airport express has an ethernet cable running from it to the jack in the back of my windows machine
i know that because it is a direct connection i have to have my IP adresses and subnet mask the same on both machines so i set them that way
in system preferences "windows sharing" is on and "personal file sharing" is on (even tho i no that is pointless for this setup) and my firewall is off
in control panel (windows) i have my firewall disabled
i made a "shared" folder on my windows and i right click > properties > sharing tab > i checked the box that says "share this folder on the network"
after this i'm pretty much in the dark so can anyone help me?
p. s. this post is also posted elsewhere bc i didn't know where to put it
Macbook Black Mac OS X (10.4.8)

On your MacBook look in Network in your finder. Under your workgroup you should see the Windows machine. My workgroup name is MSHOME yours could be something else. Click on it and it should allow you to connect to the windows machine. Just pick which folders you want to connect to and they should come up in your finder window. Now you can use that shared folder just like it was on your MacBook.

Windows Sharing Password.. Lost / Forgotten.. Administrator account..

HI.. I thought i would connect up my old G3 iMac running 10.4 Tiger to my Win7 laptop via ethernet crossover and move everything over i wanted to save by browsing the files and folders.
Connected the iMac and the laptop and i can work from the iMac sending files over to the laptop but i cannot remember ever setting a password as administrator on the iMac for my account for windows sharing.
I have a second account on the iMac for friends or guests to use and i logged in and that is the same as the loggin password but for my account my admin password is not recognised.
http://www.fort-delce.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/win-share-pass.jpg
Is there a way to reset the password or a workaround to delete the keychain if possible. I've been sat at the keyboard trying every possible password i might have used but i'm sure i never set one.
Paul.

Hi BDAqua...
I read up a little on your suggestions for resetting / creating new admin account and decided not to try the New account route. There seemed to be issues with losing accounts and files and ending up with an "as new" mac and that was too big a risk..
All i wanted to do was reset the windows sharing password and there seemed to be NO method of doing this within the sharing preferences window despite being logged in as the Admin for the account. So I moved a few files over to another account on my iMac and started the transfer but this was time consuming.
Having just searched the Apple help docs i found a simple answer.
*Change my admin password*
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8202.html
+If users can’t connect to the Mac from the Windows computer using the user account you specified, you may need to reset the password for that account in Accounts preferences.+
So with a new admin password on my account the windows sharing password was reset to the new admin password and I'm good to go..
Many thanks for your help and suggestions.. It didn't fix my problem but reading a few of the links has shown me how to make my mac safer for the future. I didn't realise that it was so easy to overide the account password.

Windows sharing setting in Leopard?

Where do I set "Windows Sharing" in Leopard?
It does not show up were it used to be in Tiger.

1) Try disabling the firewalls on on the Mac and on Windows.
2) If that works, disconnect the PC from the Mac, enable the PC firewall and attempt making the connection again.
3) Then disable the PC firewall and enable the Mac's and try again.
If one of these approaches works, you might try disabling the fewest firewalls that still allow a connection, make the connection, and without disconnecting, re-enable the firewall. I've found that sometimes I've only needed to disable long enough to make the connection.
Disabling firewalls doesn't always work, either. I don't know why any of this happens, nor what to do to make it stop.

Accessing "Windows Sharing" with root account

I have a problem with my account in OS X Tiger v.10.4.11. Probably NIDB is damaged and I can only get access to the 'root' account.
Before I start trying solving the problem I need to make a backup. My only option right now is to backup all my files to a PC (Windows Vista) through my local network. But when I activate "Windows Sharing" and click "Enable Accounts", there are no accounts to choose. I think it might be because I'm using the 'root' account.
I tried to access my Macbook trough the network from my PC using the 'root' account, but it didn't work.
Is there a way of enabling 'Windows Sharing' in root account?

OK, after some googling I found how to make a network connection between Vista and OS X. Ridiculously easy, was no need to ask in the forum.

Windows Sharing in Leopard??

In Tiger I used to be able to check a box that said "enable windows sharing" and then type in \\macintosh\blahblahblah in internet explorer on my windows pc to be able to transfer files back and forth...
How do I do that in Leopard?

You have to go System prefrences---> Sharing--> check the box marked file sharing (or if it is checked light up that line) Then look to lower corner of the box where it says Options click on that then make sure smb is checked.
Now that I have told you that I should tell you I have seen a lot of people having problems seeing the windows machines in Finder. Seems to work if you type in the machine manually, just doesn't show up automatically.

Windows shared folder asks for permanently delete

Hi,
Any file from windows shared folder asks for permanently delete and after that it is not recoverable... Please help, how to enable recycle bin service??

Hi,
This is by design the Recycle Bin only stores files deleted from local drives, not from a shared folder. The workaround is to move a folder in C:\users\<user name> to the shared folder.
For more detailed information, please refer to the thread below:
Files deleting over the Network /share drive is not going to the recycle bin it permanently delete the file but deleting from local drive is normaly going to recycle Bin !
