Transfering files via screen share

I am able to screen share with my powerbook and my iMac. I tried to drag a folder with photo files on it from my iMac to the powerbook, but it didn't work. Any suggestions? Maybe easier to connect firewire, but wanted to try with screen share.
Thanks

you can't do this with screen share, sorry. You can do it using file sharing if your computers are on the same network.

  • I'm trying to use Mountain Lion Server so my family can have separate logins via Screen Share to their iTunes.

    Using Mountain Lion Server so my family can have separate logins and connect via Screen Share.
    Works great, each has their own home directory and permissions are perfect.
    Now setting up iTunes for each with their own Library (not shared), thus keeping multiple Libraries.
    I get this;
    This Computer is already associated with an Apple ID.
    If you download past purchases with your Apple ID, you
    cannot auto-download past purchases with a different
    Apple ID for 90 days.
    What!
    So what it is on the same computer, they are completely separate Libraries never to be mixed.
    If this works, I only need to keep one computer up and running, instead of three.
    Each can do their syncing/backup and connect to the various Airplay/AppleTVs I have around the house.
    How do I fix this.
    Thanks

    Bottom line is you can't - easily.
    You need to make sure that you log out of the server each time otherwise the ID is running. To explain, if you had a laptop with different people using it, your solution works fine. Each time someone logs in, the iTunes ID is different so it works as you can only have one person using the laptop at any one time.
    Now, turning your problem inside-out, you want people to be able to log into iTunes concurrently to use their own version of the program with their own library. This does not seem to work and you get the conflicted ID error message. Even though iTunes is running under their own login ident, I have never been able to get this working reliably and was told that iTunes is NOT a network-aware application as it is designed to be single user.
    The way I got around this was to login as XYZ and to make sure that the ID was changed in iTunes accordingly. However, it did not always work so I gave up with the whole thing.

  • HT4889 Transferred files via time machine and not log in password will not allow me to log in

    I have a new MacBook pro, I transferred files via time machine and a removable hard drive. Now new MacBook does not recognize the log in password. What can I do to reset the password?

    Did you migrate when you first booted up in Setup Assistant or did you migrate later? When you migrate later it can create a second account, check in Mac HD/Users to see if this is the situation.

  • Can't connect via Screen Share or Web Server, but can ping and ssh

    Bit of an odd problem here.
    My Mountain Lion Mac Pro (called "Trogdor" for convenience) is connected to my work university network. I can ping it from anywhere-- elsewhere on the network, from home behind a firewall. Can connect over ssh from everywhere. I can also connect to other computers (on the same network or at home behind a firewall) from Trogdor via ssh, Screen Sharing, etc.
    But I can't Screen Share into Trogdor, and I can't connect to Trogdor's built-in web server, either system-wide (in /Library/WebServer) or for my username (~/Sites). (I can connect to the web server from Trogdor.)
    Note that I can do both of these for other computers on the same network (same subnet, etc), so it's not a network issue. I can't do these from anywhere: same network or from home. I have this problem whether I use Trogdor's hostname or its IP address. (I can look up its hostname using the IP address with the "host" tool in Terminal, and vice versa.)
    So it sounds like a port issue, right? Except I don't think I've ever messed with my port settings directly. How do I diagnose the problem? Should I scan my ports? Can I return port settings to default?
    Thanks!

  • How the external system will talk to ECXpert 3.5 for transfering files via HTTP SSl?

    We are using ECxpert3.5 on Solaris box. One of our Trading Partner want to communicate through HTTP-SSL and we are doing XML/EDI mapping. Could you guide us what steps we need to take care to implement this.
    How the external system will talk to ECXpert for transferring files. (We need the syntax for the URL). How ECXpert will receive XML file through HTTP-SSL protocol from External System and file submittion.
    Please send is there any other document which explain about. Thanks in advance for your help. [email protected] or [email protected]

    Hi Steve,
    You can bring the GRC framework to a state equivalent to a raw install by following options:
    Option 1.) You should have a base-line backup before GRC installation. If so then apply that base-lin backup and deploy GRC components. If there is no base-lin backup, then
    Option 2.) Uninstall and re-install J2EE and then follow up with rest of the installation process. If you don't want to go through re-install process, then
    **Correction to Option 3**
    Option3.) SAP is in process of creating a SAP Note for Delete script, Instead of delivering Delete Script script via OSS message.  Will update you as soon as the Note gets released.
    Please refere to Note # 1416728 to Manage your deletion in RAR 5.3 SP10.
    Hope this helps.
    Best Regards,

  • Pixel flicker to right of screen when transferring files via USB

    Hi there, just discovered this evening this strange flickery pixel effect that occurs for some reason, only started happening today, and I was wondering if I should get it checked out if it progresses into something worse. It's only happening when transferring items from a FAT 32 external harddrive, and occurs once every time I move one item to the desktop for half a second. Here's a youtube vid of it;

    Hi hscarr;
    Transferring programs from a G4, which is PowerPC architecture, to a Mac Pro, which is Intel architecture, is a know method of creating problems.
    It is highly recommend that instead all applications be freshly install on the Intel platform.
    Once that is done that your data can be moved.

  • Transferring files via Target Mode

    Hello,
    I just got my Mac Pro and I'm trying to transfer some files and programs from my existing G4... I have heard about using the "Target Mode" to do this, but when I tried no luck. Here's what I attempted to do:
    attmept #1. G4 is connected to my display. I booted the G4 holding down the "T" key. I see the firewire symbol on the screen, so I connected a firewire cable from the G4 to the Pro and turned on the Pro. Nothing happened. Should I have connected the display cable to the Pro too? I don't need 2 displays to do this action, right?
    attempt #2. Mac Pro is connected to the display. I boot the Pro and follow instructions via "Migration Assistant". So I connected the firewire from the Pro to the G4 (while Pro is still running) and booted the G4 while holding down the "T" key and still nothing happens.
    What am I doing wrong? Can anyone offer some assistance please? Thanks in advance.

  • Transfering files via sockets

    Hi
    I am writing a client server app, and am communicating between the clients and server using the Socket and Serversocket class's. Transfering strings is very easy, but i also want to transfer files. I usually use Fileinputstream/fileoutputstream in normal circumstances, but i dont think this will work with sockets.
    Any suggestions on how i can transfer files through a sockets would be most welcome.
    Cheers
    Steve

    Just create the InputStream to your file, read in some bytes, write the bytes to the sockets OutputStream, voila!

  • Transferring Files via File Sharing from 10.4.11 to 10.8.5

    I am trying to get all of my files and information off of my laptop and migrate them to my new iMac. I have followed the instructions in regards for file sharing. However, when I bring up the finder and click on shared, the only thing that it will do is log me in as a guest. When I try and type in the password to log me in as a registered user it tells me that the password is wrong. Unless there is another password that I am unaware of I am 100% sure that I remember the password. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Screen share MBP to ipad

    Hi
    I can connect via my network from my MBP to my MacBook and Powerbook through the finder window via Screen share, I would like to access the wife's ipad which is also on the same network. Is there a way this can be done. I have seen apps that work in reverse mac screen on ipad.

    I did find this
    http://appshopper.com/utilities/replicate
    But it only works if the 2 devices are on the same wifi network.
    There's gotta be a way to do this over an internet connection! I'm gonna keep looking and hope someone here knows something I don't!

  • Screen Share - Freeze when changing accounts

    When I try to change change to another account on the iMac via Screen Share, Screen Share freezes. In fact, this happens when trying to log in to another account--it does not show the log in screen.
    If I Quit Screen Share and then open back up, I can then see the other account or the log in screen.
    All advice appreciated.

    Ok found the problem.
    As said before brand new device, when installing I choose to restore an iCloud back-up form my previous iPhone4.
    Somehow, and I surely do not understand why! My new 5S not only had all my keyboards as it should because of the recovery, it also had the German keyboard? Which is not part of the recovery!
    Deleted the keyboard, problem solved.
    It still is very strange I only had the German on "some" screens not all.

  • 6300's problem of transfer file via bluetooth

    Hi..i just got a brand new 6300
    but i've got a problem with transfering file via bluetooth from my laptop to my phone
    sumhow i can transfer file from my phone to my laptop, and i also can transfer image file from my laptop to my phone...
    but a problem occured when i try to send MP3s file from my laptop to my phone...
    i've already succeed to pair my laptop and my phone...but still i can't transfer thoose files...
    can anyone help me??
    please...
    thx a bunch

    Make sure that you have enough phone memory available, even if you are transferring to the memory card.
    When sending files by bluetooth they are transfered (cached) to the phone then the phone transfers them to the memory card.
    Also you should transfer files one at a time.
    If you are transfering lots of MP3's you would be better off using a data cable as it will be a lot quicker.

  • Transfer files via. WiFi?

    Transferring files via. bluetooth is a relatively long process (both Blackberry smartphones and the Windows XP bluetooth interface require you to click "Receive a File" before then going to the opposing device and clicking send a file for security purposes) with a slow transfer speed.
    Given both my computer and my smartphone are connected to the same secure WiFi network, is it possible to transfer files between the two? On my previous Nokia phone I could browse the Shared Files of my computer over the wireless network, and copy/paste to/from these files.
    I'm surprised it's not a more common feature on WiFi enabled smartphones. I'm sitting at my desk with my two devices side by side and already practically linked and I can't do anything about it. 
    Currently I'm emailing files to myself, then they instantly pop up on the BlackBerry. But this is unnecessarily using the actual internet connection, as opposed to the the device-to-device style connection you can use between computers when linked to the same network. 
    Any ideas? Ideal world I click "My Computer" - click "BlackBerry" and I browse from the root of my device with unlimited access. 

    Try Dukto, a small application for file sharing on howm wi-fi networks. You need to install both PC and phone utility. Application is available on the Ovi store.
