Transferring file pc laptop - ibook via wireless

Hi,
I need to transfer files from my ibook to a win laptop.
1)I used a flash drive but got damaged files.
2)Os 9 can't see my ipod nano!
I've got an airport 802.11b on my ibook and an intel 802.11b/g on the asus win laptop.Can I transfer files through wireless?How?I'm a newbie of os 9
tnks a lot

A1: Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the card in question (someone else may be able to provide you with exact information). Generally speaking however, special Mac driver software is needed for Ethernet cards.
A2: There are some limitations regarding Mac OS 10.4 and certain older systems. Without going into details, you may not be able to use all machines as servers, but it is usually possible to create a connection that will allow files to be transferred.
A3: Yes, a direct connection, typically (depending upon the machines involved), requires a crossover cable. A connection via a hub or a switch (router) will use normal cables.
For additional information, have a look here and here.
There are a couple of alternative solutions. Pro primo, you could try a wireless connection to your existing network. This web page could perhaps be of interest. Secondly, a CompactFlash card (or another flash card) used with an inexpensive PC Card adapter (see, for example, here) would let you carry out the transfers.

Laptop printing via wireless to HP Laserjet M1217nfw without a wireless router.

I want to print from a laptop via wireless to a HP Laserjet M1217nfw.
The location means that there is no wireless router involved.
The manual suggests that there are two possible methods if no wireless router is available.
The first one is an ad-hoc or peer-to-peer network as described on page 9 and 10 of the supplied User Guide.
I appreciate that one laptop does not make a network so I configured two laptops to connect over an ad-hoc network with all security turned off to make things as simple as possible.
Both laptops have APIPA addresses and are connected.
I then tried installing the printer via USB and also via CD and the printer cannot detect the ad-hoc network.
In the configuration page the Communication Mode is set to Infrastructure and cannot be changed.
Also there is the issue of how the printer can get an IP address as it does not seem possible to provide one for the wireless manually.
I am starting to wonder if the manual in incorrect and the ad-hoc connectivity is not available.
The second option might be to use the Direct Print Configuration although this is more for smartphones I believe. I have briefly tried this method but the supplied driver from the CD cannot detect the printer. Perhaps a special driver is needed.
Having spent a considerable time on this I am beginning to wonder should I give up and send the printer back or is it actually possible to get this to work in the manner that I need.
Thanks for any help.

Do you have the ad-hoc network hosted by one of the computers? It sounds like you are trying to add the printer to an ad-hoc network.
Newer printers (not certain when this changed) do not support the printer connecting to a hosted ad-hoc network on a computer. Sorry.
However, the computers should be able to connect to the printer's ad-hoc network for printing purposes. On the computers, there should be a network SSID that has HP in the name (possibly print, printer model, or setup). If you connect to this network, the printer should be able to be added to the computers. However, the computers may not communicate with each other as the printer isn't really intended to connect multiple devices to each other.
You mentioned page 9 and 10 of the manual. I reviewed page 9 and 10 of the manual and it did not mention anything about any network settings. This came much later in the manual I had found for the M1217nfw. Is the manual I linked the same manual you have?

Transferring files/data from ibook to pc laptop

i recently bought a pc laptop and need to figure out how to transfer files/data from my ibook to pc- taxes, resume, pictures, favorite list.
is there some way to transfer all this- via cd? or other way?
thanks so much!

direct connection :
# Connect your Mac to your PC using a standard Ethernet cable.
# Make sure that both computers are turned on.
# In the Finder on your Mac, choose Connect to Server from the Go menu to open the window.
# Type your PC's network address in the Server Address text box using one of these formats:
* smb://DNSname/ShareName
* smb://IPaddress/ShareName
# Click Connect.
# Follow the onscreen instructions to enter your PC's workgroup name, user name, password, and the volume or folder you wish to access.
# Your PC volume should appear on your Mac Desktop.
# Open the volume and drag and drop files directly from it to anywhere on your Mac.
# When finished, drag your PC volume to the Trash to unmount it
network connection:
# Make sure that both computers are turned on and connected to the Internet.
# In the Finder on your Mac, choose Connect to Server from the Go menu to open the window.
# Type your PC's network address in the Server Address text box using this format: smb://ServerName/ShareName, or select the name of your PC in this window (if it appears).
# Click Connect.
# Enter your PC's workgroup name, your user name, and your password when prompted, then select the volume or folder you wish to access.

Referenced files on RAID NAS via wireless = SLOW

I've done some searching here to see if this question has come up before and I didn't find much. Here's the situation: I have all of my photographs on an external network attached storage (NAS) device running X-RAID (proprietary version of RAID 5 essentially), accessing it via the built-in wireless in my Macbook Pro, and when I import photographs from the device into Aperture, I make sure they are set to be referenced. All is well and good at this point.
The problem is that when I try to browse the images after they have been imported, Aperture seems to take forever to load just one image... literally on the order of 30 seconds or more per image! This is incredible, since the speed of the wireless is 54mbit. The files I am working with are around 12 MB each, so even 2 MB / sec, it should take maximum 6 seconds to load an image.
I confirmed that the wireless is definitely not the problem here by dragging and dropping a file from one of my collections using the Finder. Total time is about 3 seconds from the RAID to my desktop, and the Network page in Activity Monitor confirms the surge of network flow across the wireless. Back in Aperture land, it literally crawls along at a snails pace of around 400 - 500 K/s until the image finally loads and the Loading circle goes away.
Anybody know if there's anything that can be done to speed up Aperture? Doesn't seem like it from what I can see on the preferences page. sigh - this is really starting to annoy me, all these little problems with Aperture. It's definitely not turning out to be the be-all-end-all photo management solution I was hoping it would be.
p.s... I completely disabled preview generation and erased all the previews from my library. No projects cause previews to be generated now.

Your wireless speed will be nowhere CLOSE to 54 Mbit. That is the rating on the specification -- but if you get 20 Mbits/sec you are doing very well. The specifications on wireless are, practically, 2-3 times what anyone can get. It's an industry-wide lie.
There is absolutely no way you will get "good" performance like this. The closest you could come would be to turn on previews. But still... you need a wired connection. It doesn't really matter if drag copying is faster (even by 2-3 times) than working within Aperture for copying... neither are acceptable for working with RAW files. Get a wired (Gigabit) connection or use a direct connection... Firewire 400 or better.

Transferring files from my iBook to my new MacBook Pro

So I treated (an understatement) myself to a new MacBook Pro a few days ago after having a few difficulties with my beloved iBook G4. After I damaged the iBook's original power adapter, I managed to buy a dodgy one on eBay, which packed up and left me running on battery power.
I'm expecting my MacBook Pro to arrive any day now and I know that during the setup procedure (of OS 10.3, at least), you're given the option to transfer all your documents across from your previous Mac to a new one via Firewire. Brilliant idea, but my iBook's only got 15 minutes of power left and I have no way to charge it back up for the moment, so I somehow doubt it would hold out for the entirety of the procedure.
Basically, is there a way to launch the file-transfer wizard once Leopard is up and running? I'm paying particular attention to the transfer of all my E-mails from Mail and events from iCal.
On a similar topic, is there any way to sync iCal between the two Macs using iSync?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Kappy has written a helpful guide for PPC to Intel transition, which you can read in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6630396&#6630396
You will still need to use firewire target disk mode, but not the complete migration assistant process (which can be a problem going from PPC to Intel anyway!). Scroll down to step #4, which will tell you exactly which files you really need to transfer over for Mail and iCal.
Hope this helps...

Transferring Files from Triton Le (via Smart card) into Logic pro 9

I'm trying to get original material from my triton Le smart card into Logic pro 9. I've looked at a couple forums and tried different ways. I know i can do it track by track/ real time audio, but would prefer having it as midi, as i've found cutting and splicing the realtime has produced some glitches in the music. The other way was to use a usb floppy disk drive save my material as midi on the floppy then open it in logic. This i've tried but must be missing something because i drag the file from my 17n1 card reader (which reads my smart card) into the floppy and it just takes the file as it is.
This will get figured out soon, some help would be great!!!

HI guys first thanks for all the replies amazing that some one still listen to these post thanks ,especially i saw pancenter involved in many logic related problems so wow man keep going thanks .
what i did today i completlly reinstal my apple mac book pro ,instaled logic pro 8 on it and boom all is working with no problem so this mean that Mac pro has same pice of software which is making whole thinks bad. i will try to unistal cognitone and also maybe rewire i all ready did follow the link above (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3968) but it did not help i will try to unistal cognitone ( by the way it is awesome programm ) such a sad story or maybe i just start from scratch .will post here on progress Thanks very much guys .

Unable to aquire IP address on secured network via wireless.

I have a WRT54GS which we secured the network on over a year ago. (WPA encyption setting). This christmas we got the kids one of those mini-laptops but when we went to put it on our wireless network it could not aquire the IP address. Using the ethernet cable to connect it directly to the router did allow it to get online with the LAN setting enabled.
In order to finally get the new laptop connected via wireless we had to unsecure our system. Now we need to figure out why the laptop was unable to aquire the IP address so we can fix the issue and resecure our network. Any ideas/suggestions on the subject would be appreciated.
Solved!

Change the Wireless Chanel on the router to 11-2.462Ghz..Under Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 50,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings......and try connecting the network again..

Hp v40 on xp desktop and is shared via wireless network. laptop with windows 7 wont print on v40.

Can't print from laptop (windows 7) via wireless router .to desktop (windows xp) with usb attached HP v40 all in one.
Laptop (7) ----- wireless router ----- desktop (xp) - -usb-- HPv40
Worked when laptop was running xp.
Laptop spools print job to desktop and seemingly completes, but the desktop simply ignores the print job.
No error messages.
printing from the desktop work just fine.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I am reporting this as solved. I submitted this problem. The problem started when updated my laptop from Windows XP to Windows 7. When I did, The Lexmark printer on my desktop worked find with the new laptop system. The HP V40 did not work. The Desktop simply received each print job submitted from the Laptop (via a wireless local network) and discarded it. I could see the print job come into the V40 print queue and could see it disappear.
Here is what I did to solve the problem:
I tried a dozen or so combinations of removing and installing the printer on both my Windows 7 laptop and my Windowx XP desktop (with the V40 attached via USB), and manually removing and installing print drivers on my desktop PC, it finally works. What did I do? I have no idea, but I believe that manually removing the v40 drivers on the desktop was part of the solution. While viewing the available printers on my XP desktop, I clicked on File and one of the tabs led me to a place where I could remove drivers for each printer ( I just removed the ones for the V40).
Here is what I DID NOT DO:
I did not follow the advice of the HP support person that I contacted via the telephone. That advice was to reinstall Windows XP on my desktop. That clearly was not the problem when I spoke to him. But he would NOT listen to reason. Thankfully, I have enough PC knowledge to know that his advice bas bogus
I am pleased with the resulting availablilty of the V40 again.
I have no idea how to officially close this problem.
I would be happy to discuss this with anyone else who has a similar problem, but when I submitted this problem with my name and email address, the moderator removed my problem submission. Hence, I think anyone who wants to know more is out of luck.

I have an iPad 2, and I am sending PDF files to my iPad, via a Hotmail account. But, the PDF arrives to the iPad Mail account already opened at the bottom of the email. Is there a way to prevent this auto-opening of the PDF. I've seen screen shots with the box, and PDF listed inside the box, but mine open automatically. I want to get them into iBooks...?

I am having the same problem and it is even bigger.
When opening a 1-page PDF in iBooks and sending it via mail it is sent inline as preview, but the recipient cannot open the file anymore. Also on iPad and iPhone there is no "open in" possible.
Somehow the mail app does destroy the file. What is going wrong?

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.

New macbook broke old Ibook when transfering files

Hi There I hope someone can help. Bought macbook and connected the firewire cable and did the target disk mode to transfer files and everything was transfering fine and then I got the "Your macbook needs to be restarted" kernal message and so I restarted and tried again only the old Ibook would no longer show up in target disk and will not start up at all now. All I get is the folder and question mark. Ran disk first aid and tech tool pro and it said can't repair the disk. Is there anything that anyone knows that ca help. I don't want to lose all mt old files from my Ibook!! Help Please if you can.
Marilyn

+Ran disk first aid and tech tool pro and it said can't repair the disk.+
Were these run from the install CD/DVD?
You might try booting your ibook while holding the 'Option' key down - this might give you your usual HD to start up from. Make sure the firewire cable is no longer connected.

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,
Sirish Gullapalli.
