Trouble with HD over network ...

I have a wireless network of 4 Macs in my house. I have external hard drives hooked up to all of them. Why is it that sometimes I AM given the option to mount these HDs when I connect via the network to another computer? It seems like an intermittent problem ... is there something that can be done so that I'll always be given the option to mount a connected external HD when I connect via the network?
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Thank you,
I've been working with Sharepoints for a while now and I can't get it to work. I have re-started and made certain that I do have file sharing turned on. Does it matter that the drive is formatted in FAT 32?
Here are some pics of the drive I'm trying to share and the settings in Sharepoints. THEN, a pic of the disappointing results when I try and connect from another computer. Thanks for any help.

Trouble with Apple Wireless networks

I have aan extended wireless network in our house, across four apple wireless devices: Time Capsule (which is the lead device), an airport extreme (dual-band), an airport extreme (dual band II) and an Airport Express 802.11n.
The dual-band II is a new device and since I have incorporated it i have had issues with the wireless network that only seem to be solved if we turn the Express off. The Express is in a Kitchen, which is beneath a study where the Extreme dual band II is.
Does anyone have any idea why there might be a problem (seems like some kind of wave interference) and how i solve it. I put the express in the kitchen so I could connect it to a Sonos device, which then allows me to use airplay with the Sonos.
Regards
Edward

Since all of your AirPorts are 802.11n models, you can only have one base station that will be extended. You can have more than one to extend it. So, in this case, the two 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Stations (AEBSn) & the AXn would be attempting to extend the wireless range of the Time Capsule (TC).
Think of it as the TC is at the hub of a wheel and each of the extending base station would be on individual spokes of that wheel. The issue here would be the farther away an extending base station is, the less bandwidth that will be available at that part of the extended network ... and possibly why you are getting the results that you are.
By default, the AXn (or any AirPort will not be set to extend a network. You would have to set this as an option within the AirPort Utility. If you didn't already do this for the AXn, then it would be in its default configuration of a wireless router that would be broadcasting its own wireless network ... and NOT extending the TC's network.

Trouble with private wifi networking (remote desktop control) w/o Internet

When in production, the mini won't have a connection to the internet. I need to do this over a local private wifi net.
My goal is to control the desktop of the mac mini with an iPad. Right now I'm using a MBP and a hardwire ethernet connection.
For the purposes of trouble shooting, I have a MBP in place of the server - both run os x 10.8.4. (though the mini is running Server version). If the os x machine has a live connection to the internet - i have no problems. but trying to control the MBP remotely (vnc client on iPad) over an ad hoc network does not work - unless the os x machine has an internet connection, say via hardwire ethernet. Then I can share that Internet connection and there'll be a working DHCP server for the iPad to talk to. Networking between the two is fine. But without that, even if I try and set IP addresses manually for each device - while on the ad hoc network - putting them on the same subnet - it isn't long before each device bails on the ad hoc network in favor of a way to reach the internet. I haven't spent money on an RDP client for iPad since it seems to be a TCP/IP behavior issue.
A few os x versions ago, I was able to set a manual address for the ethernet port of the server - and then share that via wifi. And vnc worked over that private network just fine. But as of 10.7, that ethernet port wont light up green by doing that anymore. So I guess the os x machine never fires up DHCP services.
Is buying an external wireless router that can handle DHCP services for both devices the only way to get them talking to eachother?
Thanks so much!

Are you using Wifi for Internat at the same time, or are you using Ethernet for Internet?
If Ethernet, it may be the Service order...
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x/10.8.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.

Trouble With Links to Network Files Within Online PDF

I posted this at the end of someone else's thread who had a similar problem but it may have gotten lost in the shuffle. Either that or no one has an answer. Here goes...
I create a Word document that contains links to network files (tested and working) and convert the document to a PDF. The links still function in the PDF when I test them. However, when someone opens the document from our intranet, the file:/// is replaced with some form of a relative link, either to a users C: drive or to an http:// directory. If I then go into the PDF and change the link action from Open File to Open Web Link and provide the full file:/// path, everything works as intended. This really wouldnt be a big deal if I was the one maintaining the document or if it were an occasional thing. The problem is that updating or adding a link to the document means correcting the existing links all over again. This is very cumbersome for the user who maintains the document.
I'm using Acrobat 8 Professional. Any ideas?

I'm having a similiar issue with cross platform (Vista to Mac OS X 10.5) file linking. We currently store indesign files on a folder in a shared drive (the mac unix path to the drive is /Volumes/SharedDrive and the vista path is Z:\) and link assets in the document to another folder stored on the shared drive. Note that all linked assets are not stored in the same location on the shared drive, for instance a linked image could be deep in the folder structure (/Volumes/SharedDrive/Marketing/Images/Fall09/example.jpg).
The Vista computer references files differently than the mac on the shared drive, it seems to mount the network drive directly on the root level rather than in the /Volumes folder. I've tried to symlink the graphics folder (the one containing all the linked assets) to the root level of the hard drive (ln -s /Volumes/SharedDrive/Graphics /Graphics) but when we tried relinking the assets InDesign figured out it was a symlink and resolved the path to the absolute path. Is there some sort of configuration option in mac to mount this windows drive (it is on SBS Windows 2003) in a way that won't cause linking conflicts between mac and pc? Any thoughts are much appreciated!
Thank you for all your help!

Mountain Lion problem with iTunes over network

I connect to my iTunes to watch movies over my Airport network. A movie will play for about 20 min then loose connection. I have to go to my host iMac with Mountain Lion and restart iTunes then reconnect on my mac mini downstairs which is running Leopard. A real pain in the bu##.
It appears to be shutting down my network connection for some reason. Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know what to do?
I will watch a movie using my appleTV and see if it does the same thing. Then I will know if it is realted to my iMac and not compatability with Leopard.

ok, I watched a movie on my AppleTV without interuption so it must be a conflict between my Leopard on the mac mini and Mountain Lion on my iMac.

OpenMP with gcc over network?

Does anyone know how to run OpenMP with gcc on two, three or more computers (identical computers with identical settings) that are connected together by router?
At the moment I have ssh connection between each node (with each node having keygen ID of all others).... so no password is needed for any ssh connection request.

It is important to remember that OpenMP uses shared memory as a means of communication between multiple threads. Generally speaking, OpenMP cannot be used to parallelize an application over multiple machines (because they do not share the same memory address space). I seem to recall reading about some research going into virtual shared memory systems for clusters, which would allow an threaded application to be run as if it was on a single machine. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the article at the moment.
Anyway, for distributed memory systems (e.g. clusters), the Message Passing Interface (MPI) is the de-facto standard. There are a number of different MPI implementations, with Open MPI and MPICH being popular choices. The main advantage of MPI is that it defines a portable standard for developing parallel applications. In theory, an MPI based parallel application will run on anything from a single multi-core desktop PC, to a Beowulf UNIX/Linux cluster, to a top500 supercomputer. Some of the better MPI implementations will even optimize the communication based on the particular environment you are running in. The main disadvantage of MPI is that it generally requires one to use Domain Decomposition Methods (DDM) to efficiently parallelize their application. While DDM is very powerful, it does carry some important trade-offs: (1) it cannot be easily retrofitted to existing serial applications, and (2) it can impact the numerical stability and accuracy of your simulation. This is why there has been a fair amount of research going into hybrid MPI/OpenMP applications; where MPI is used for coarse grained parallelizm, and OpenMP for the fine grained parallelizm.
In your case, it sounds like you're trying to run a computation on commodity PC's over a home/office LAN? In this case, you should look into the possibility of configuring these machines to function as a small Beowulf cluster. Then running MPI and MPI/OpenMP applications will be very straightforward. Of course, before you invest in doing this, you'll want to estimate the parallel efficiency you would get with this configuration. Unless you're using high speed networking equipment, it may turn out that your application doesn't run significantly faster on two machines than one. For sure, it won't be twice as fast. (I'm assuming that the motivation for doing this is to make your application run faster; i.e. you're not memory bound.)
I hope this helps.
EDIT: I also seem to recall reading about tools for Grid Computing. The main idea behind Grid Computing is being able to create ad-hoc clusters out of an arbitrary collection of networked computers (either via the Internet or LAN). So, perhaps do some Googling with "grid computing", and see if that turns up anything that helps.

Unable to share with Itunes over network

Greetings...
I have previously been able to share music between all my computers (four PC's and one Mac) but I recently noticed that other computers' Itunes libraries are no longer showing up. No settings were changed within Itunes (set to share all with no password). I'm not sure what has changed between then and now, besides possibly a newer version of Itunes in use. The same version is currently in use on all my computers (7.5.0.20).
Firewall software is disabled on all computers. The network is a simple class C non-routable, with Linksys router and cable modem on the other side.
Any suggestions on where to look would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time.

Bump to the top... any ideas anyone? Thanks!

WOL and VNC troubles with iphone over internet

Hi,
I am currently trying to set up my ideal networking solution. What I am aiming for is the ability to use my iPhone 3GS to firstly wake up, and then control (using VNC) my macbook pro at home.
I have a Belkin N1 Vision router connected to my cable modem, and the macbook is connected to the vision router via ethernet. On my iPhone, I am using the iNet Pro app, which has wake on lan functionality. Inside this section, I have added my routers internet IP address as well as UDP port 9 and also my macbooks mac address.
The router is set up to forward all traffic on port 9 to my macbooks IP address, however, everytime I then select Wake Up, inside iNet Pro, the macbook does not wake up. Is this a problem to do with the N1 Vision not correctly forwarding magic packets to wake the macbook? This same app will work perfectly on my local network to wake all three of my computers!
Any help in getting this all set up and working would be great!
Thanks

Home Sharing Not Working With iPhone Over Network

Hey,
I'm new to this whole support thing so I'll do my best to explain the issue!
On both iTunes and my iPhone 4s, I have turned on Home Sharing using the same Apple ID. Both are also connected to the same network which is my home wi-fi. I can't seem to connect no matter how hard I try. music won't stream from my pc to my phone and I can't use the app called Remote, an app that lets me control iTunes. I have even gone as far as to mess with my firewall where I allowed two new rules that had the ports Remote uses.
If anyone can spread some light on this shinanigan, I will be sooooo happy!
Thanks in advance!

...And that didn't work either.

Trouble with my secure network

Hello, just got my new Ipod touch today, it is the latest generation(32GB) and I'm having a **** of a time connecting to our houses secure wireless network.
No matter how many times I input the password, I always get a denial, saying that it could not connect to the network ,now, I am using a D-link wireless router, and I have tried turning off the security all-together(which worked), but as soon as I turned it back on it kicked me from the network, and I couldnt log-in again.
The damndest thing is that not one day ago, my brother got a ipod touch himself(it came as a free gift with a macbook pro purchased by my father), it is a 16GB from the previous generation of Ipod touches, but it works just fine with our secure Wi-fi, but mine wont for whatever reason.

The only security I haven't tried yet is WEP, and thats just because it changes the password to something I don't know.
I actually just got off the phone with a "product expert" who said that this is a widespread firmware issue and that they were working on making a downloadable fix. Honestly I'm not sure if he is to be believed or not, but judging from all the posts I found using google, I certainly believe the bit about it being wide-spread issue.
By the way LE, do you have the first generation of Ipod touch? Just curious seeing as how my brother's similarly had no problems connecting.

Trouble with Titles over Photos

I am having issues placing titles over the photos in my movie. I can create the titles and preview the title over the photo. When I click and drag the title icon to the timeline to place over the photo the title disappears. I have made sure that the duration of the title is not longer than the photo's duration.
Thank you

Welcome to the discussions!
Are you sure that you are dragging the "T" (beside the type of title you want) over the beginning of the clip or at least to a point where you have split the clip?
Also, do you see a little green circle with the + sign in it where you are attempting to drop it? If not, you may be trying to drop it after a transition and you need to place the title there first then add the transition.

Trouble with 10. Network.

I set up my AirPort Extreme with a 10. Network. Why does my iPhone and iPads sometimes look for the network with a 192 address.

Per chance did you configure both your iPhone and iPads to use a Static IP address that was assigned an address in the 192.x range?
Settings > Wi-Fi > Select the info icon for your Wi-Fi network > Under IP ADDRESS note if DHCP, BootIP, or Static is selected.
If DHCP is already selected, select Renew Lease to request a new IP address from the AirPort Extreme's DHCP service.

4s has trouble with my home network

My iPhone 4S has trouble connecting to my AirPort Extreme. The only way it connects is if I lay it directly on the extreme.

Power the extreme off and wait a few minutes, the Power ON again.
On the 4S reset networking settings. You will have to re-enter your network's password, but it should be able to connect.

Trouble with Airport printer network

My iBook is connected to my airport.... I have no problems connecting to the internet but my problem is that i cannot use my printer which is connected to the airport via the USB port.
I have downloaded the new drivers (HP 5150) but am completely lost on this. Can anyone help me please?
Thanks

The "AirPort Admin Utility" may be helpful in accessing the base station
and changing the settings there, which apply to using a printer wirelessly.
That is found readily by using GO in the Finder's header and then choosing
"Utilities" folder, to get the main folder to open.
Is that an Express (cube) basestation or an Extreme (round spacecraft) model?
How far into this have you tried going?
