TS2664 I'm having trouble setting up wireless file sharing possible Mac OS X 10.4 and OS X Mac OS X 10.7.3. Can anyone help?

I have 2 macs hooked up on a verizon wireless network. Got a new mac mini with Lion when my "old" Imac Intel core dou with tiger stopped working. However I had it repaired and now have both sharing the same wireless network. Since the old Mac was online previously it is set now as the administrator. Don't know if that is the problem but file sharing privileges a denied and Iv'e tried everything I know with my limited knowledge. Thanks for any advice.

Once you get access to the public folder, you can drag aliases to the other folders to the public folder.
command + l will make an alias you can then drag.
Is there a reason the one is still at 10.4.3?
What bdaqua means is that you may consider upgrading to 10.4.11. Of course, there was some bug in 10.4.11 that may require you to reconfigure your wireless access. Just a hassles, wireless works fine in 10.4.11.
Pick the appropriate combo update.

I've had good luck with pureFTP for data transfer when the hassles of Mac OS got in the way of data transfer.
You could use FTP.
*Local Lan*
I use pureFTP server. It comes as part of PureFTPd Manager software download at this site.
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12630
PureFTPd Manager is the gui program manager for the pureFTP server.
*Across the internet* You do not need this. I left it in from my standard post.
Try:
PureFTPd Manager. Free. Is the server. It runs on your home computer. I found PureFTP easier to use than the Apple solution in Tiger. The apple solution could have changed.
You would have to contend with these issues:
Enable your Mac firewall to pass ftp traffic.
Do you have a local router? Enable it's firewall. Tell it to pass ftp data to your home mac.
Verify that your isp lets you run an ftp server on your home mac.
Dynamic ip address. See

One your laptop, run one of these ftp clients:

My apple wireless mouse scrolls in the opposite direction. When I scroll up, down, right and left it always scrolls the opposite direction. Can anyone help?

Hi Malky H.,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your mouse is not scrolling in the direction you are expecting, check this Mouse setting in System Preferences:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Mouse.
Scroll direction: natural: Select this option to move the contents of a window in the same direction as your fingers.
You can find this information here:
OS X Yosemite: Use an Apple Magic Mouse
Note that these steps apply to previous versions of Mac OS X as well.

I am having trouble setting up icloud it keeps sending me back to install instructions and I'm just getting frustrated. So far I'm not liking the new itunes I can't figure out how to look at my duplicate music like I used to.

I can't sign on to icloud. It says I need an icloud account. I click the help option it send me back to the same page. I reinstall it nothing.
Download the iCloud Control Panel.
To enable iCloud on your Windows PC, first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows (Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 or Windows 7 required).
ok I can't seem to set up iCloud on any device I don't understand... Ive already installed it three times.
Turn on iCloud.
From the Windows Start menu, choose iCloud Control Panel.
Enter the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account and select the iCloud services you’d like to enable.
For mail, contacts, and calendars, you can use iCloud.com or Outlook 2007 or later.
there is no iCloud control panel but I click on i cloud. Then entere the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account - WHAT!!!!? where is this I keep trying to find out how to create and iCloud account but I keep getting these stupid directions!!!
Enable automatic downloads.
To enable automatic downloads for your music, apps, and books, open iTunes > Edit > Preferences > Store and select Music, Apps, and Books.* (Requires iTunes 10.5 or later.)
- This is the only step that makes sense and already did it...
Turn on iCloud for the rest of your devices.
To get the most out of iCloud, set it up everywhere.
This is soooo frustrating!!!!
Also I want to be able to look at duplicate songs on my itunes but after I downloaded the new version I can not figure out how to get that back. If the duplicate setting isn't in the new itunes I want the old version back.

Did you ever resolve the iCloud problem.I am in the same position and its driving me mad!!! If you have a link to an solution I would appreciate it.

Need help setting up wireless file sharing

We have 3 iPhones, 3 iPads, and 2 iPod touch devices. We recently purchased the Apple air port extreme, air port express, apple tv, and a western digital external hard drive my book (for Mac) 2t. I need to know how to get photos from my phone to the hard drive wirelessly. My husband and I each have 1,200 photos on our phones we would like to back up to the hard drive. The air port app shows we have a hard drive connected, but we can't figure out how to move photos to it. Please help!

In windows when you do "map network drive" you need to enter "\\server\share" (without quotes).
In Vista, go to the Windows Button > Computer. The "map network drive" option is in the bar in the top of the window. You may need to enlarge the window or click on the little expand arrow to see it.
smb://server is used when you're connecting to a windows share from the MacOS.

I am having trouble connecting to the itunes store. i am connected to the computer and all the necessary information has been downloaded. i can't figure out what i am doing wrong or not doing

i am having problems with my ipod touch connecting to itunes. i have downloaded and still it says Cannot connect to iTunes Store.

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Go to Settings>Store and sign out of the account and then sign back in.
- Can't connect to the iTunes Store

Having trouble setting up Oracle streams. Help!

I'm running Oracle 10g Enterprise server and am trying to set up a streams connection between two databases on the server.
I'm using the Enterprise Manager grid control console to do this. I log into database_1 and I go to the streams section and pick the "Streams Global, Schema, Table and Subset Replication Wizard" link in the setup options.
I create my streams admin account. Question: Does the Streams Administrator have to be account with a dba role? I just set my dba Streams Admin the same as my 'sys' account.
I go on the the Configure Streams: Destination Database.
I put in the host name, port, sid and streams admin and pwd for database_1
When i click next i'm getting the following error.
"There is a problem with the destination connection information. It could be due to invalid host credentials and / or invalid Streams Administrator credentials."
I'm pretty sure my connection information is correct. I can connect to both databases using SQLdeveloper using the same connection info. And I think i properly set up the streams Admin for my database_2. So i'm not sure why i'm getting the error.
can anyone help?

I had a similar problem. Another issue that came along with this was that I was unable to set the credentials for one of the monitored servers in my Stream configuration. It turns out that the agent that I was using wasn't compatible with my GRID installation. I upgraded my agent, verified that I could set the preferred credentials, then successfully set up Streams.
Hope that this helps.

I`m having trouble with my new advanced system the mac os X 10.0.3

Hello everybody...
I need Help, I would appreciated anything anybody could do to help me...
I`m trying to install the new software the mac os X 10.0.3 and having trouble transfering all my files form the mac os 9.2.2 classic to my new system...Do i have to erase my hard drive to do a clean install???? Could I transfer my files to my home`s computer, instead of buying a portable smartdisk hard drive of 100 Gb, and then so i could transfer my fiels back to my mac without no trouble ????
I Hope anyone could answer to my post as soon as possible, Thanks

Hi, John. If you weren't having trouble with Mac OS 10.0.3, it would be a major surprise. OS X 10.0.x and 10.1.x were unusable beta versions and never should have been released, in the view of most people who ever tried to run them. It would be a severe trial of your patience and a waste of your time to install 10.0.3 on your Mac.
If you want to run OS X, buy OS X 10.2.x (Jaguar), 10.3.x (Panther) or the current version, 10.4 (Tiger). All are available at reasonable prices from AppleRescue. Tiger is also available from any Apple retailer. Carefully read the system requirements for whichever version you prefer, and be sure your computer meets them before buying. If your Powerbook only has a 10GB hard drive, install a larger one (at least 40GB is sensible, since the cost per gigabyte of smaller drives is now exorbitant compared with larger units) before bothering to install OS X.
It would be most advisable to copy everything on your current hard drive to an external FireWire hard drive, then reformat and erase the internal drive before installing OS X on it. Doing so insures that your data is all safe and that your internal drive is in tip-top condition when the new OS is installed. After performing the installation, you can copy the contents of the external drive back onto the internal drive. The external drive will then be available as backup space for the entire contents of the internal drive, including OS X, all your applications, and all your data.
While OS 9 is still installed on your hard drive, check to make sure your Powerbook's firmware is up to date. It will need to be brought up to date while running OS 9, before you install OS X 10.2 or higher. Here is the updater for your 500MHz Tibook:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75132
If the firmware has already been updated, running the updater again will tell you so and will do no harm.

Wireless file sharing between two MacBooks

I feel like this is kind of a silly question, but here goes:
Is it possible to set up wireless file sharing between two macs when there is no wireless network available.
For example, if I am on a plane (with no wi-fi) and wan to wirelessely connect to my partners macbook to browse his hard drive, can I do it? Right now, I use a firewire cable when flying, but would love to not have to.
Thanks for the help.

Yes, it's possible to do.
You setup one of the Macs to act as a base station of sorts. If you've got the AirPort Status menu shown you can just use the 'Create Network…' option in that menu to create a new wireless network hosted on this Mac. Just tell the other Mac to connect to that network using the name and security credentials you specified when you created the network, and you're done.

Having trouble setting up network

Hi guys,
I just recently moved to a new house and am having trouble setting up the network with my airport extreme. There is a cable modem that is networked to the house so that every room has an outlet.
I connected the airport to one of the outlets with my macbook and when I create network, I cannot connect to the internet wirelessly even though the macbook detects a network when I set it up with bridge mode. But hard wired through the router I can surf the web as I am doing right now.
When I hit share an IP address, the internet does not work at all. It seems to work fine with my old netgear router, but would prefer using the airport.
I've also reset the airport as well with still no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Have you tried powering down the modem for 5 min and then turning on with the ethernet connected to the WAN port of airport extreme?

I am having trouble setting up my time capsule. the amber light is flashing. i have a Verizon FIOS network that i use for the internet (WiFi) and do not want to configure the Time Capsule to do that function. I just want the Time Capsule to back up.

Simple.. bridge the TC.. in the apple utility in the NAT and DHCP area.
Plug it into the FIOS router.. you can turn off wireless in the TC if you want.. or use it.. it can work faster if you are nearby and can select 5ghz.. but up to you.
