Using fusion and sharing files with mac

I am getting a Mac Airbook and am going to be running Fusion from VMWare. I have an external Western Digital drive that I want to use to transfer my files to the Mac. Two questions:
1. Will the Passport software or at least the files - be recongnized by the Mac?
2. Does the Mac share the files with Fusion or do I need separate folders?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
1. Your Mac will recognize the external drive without any problem if it's formatted with FAT, NTFS or exFAT. Note that OS X can't write into NTFS drives.
2. Your Mac can share files with a virtual machine if you install VMware Tools onto the virtual machine

Are there suggestions for managing Multiple VMWare Fusion systems sharing files with a MacBook? Suppose I have enough ram for 3 servers to share files.

Suppose I have enough ram for 2 or three VMWare fusion systems to that could benefit from file sharing. Is it possible to configiure each VMWare funsion instance to have a common read only file share on my desktop and a common read/write area on on my desktop?
This would allow me to extend the power and mustle of my Mac Book Air, Retina Display system to its best advantage. Whether native Mac processing or speciality linux or Windows systems as needed.
I am having trouble allowing more than one system to share the same read only and the same read/write areas so that software does the file locking and merge controls. Even if these do not share a common read/write area, it would be truly handy for drive space management for them to share a common read only area.
Thanks for your thoughtful input.

It really denpends on the os running in the vm and what the permissions are set to on those shares.
I run a few vms on both a mac at home and windows at work and all other computers in my home or at work can connect to the vms without any problems. Even multiple computer at the same time.
It also depends on how you have set the vm up for networking. If you are setting it up as nat, instead of bridged, that can also cause problems access it from multiple system. With nat the vm is on its own network branch.

Using iPad and LogMein app with Mac Mini Server

Hello everyone, I'm new to the community and I would like to ask your opinions on something I'm considering.
I'm currently using a MacBook Air beyond its capabilities. I'm running a dual system via Parallels since some of my work programs are Windows based.
I'm planning to pass the MacBook Air down to one of my employees but I'm stuck on what I will purchase to replace it.
I like the new MacBook Pro, but I don't like the $2200+ price tag. So what I'm considering is buying a Mac Mini Server ($900) and setting it up in my office with a HDTV as a monitor because I use construction design programs and the laptop screen is just too small for large drawings. The Mac Mini also has 1TB storage vs 256GB on the MacPro. I already have an external disk drive so that's no issue either.
Also, since I still need mobile convenience, I'm considering downloading the "LogMein Ignition" app ($130) and using this to log in remotely with my iPad for complete access to all of my files and programs.
What are some pros and cons I should consider before making this move?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Kevin

> If your server is behind NAT, there is almost certainly no need for packet filtering and you should disable it.
I disagree, Linc. PF is very useful to block known bad IPs and brute force attacks, which are an hourly occurrence, especially on ssh. I use this PF configuration for OS X, which blocks brute force attacks, updates IP blocks from emergingthreats.net, and more. My logs and pf table "bruteforce" are full of attacks and blocked sites (sudo pfctl -t bruteforce -Ts). I also run snort on OS X and can see that the snort alert triggers are greatly reduced by simply blocking all these packets at the network layer.

iCloud does not provide general file storage and sharing. You will need to find a third-party alternative - this page examines some options:

Problem opening files with Mac OS Mavericks and Elements

I have recently installed Mac OS 10.9.x Mavericks. Since this I have had problems opening files in Elements 11. I upgraded to Elements 12, blindly hoping the problem would fix itself, however it hasn't.   When I try to open a file the Finder window pops up then disappears immediately. Occasionally it will stay open until I scroll down but then closes.   I keep the files on an external drive but the drive is working with all other applications, so I don't think it is that. If anyone has had a similar problem and has any ideas I would be grateful as the program is unusable for now. Thanks very much in anticipation

Hi Sjmitc, I followed Barbara's instructions about only about 24 hours ago and since then my files have been opening perfectly. I tried it again before replying to you and they are still opening fine.
I did have to go through my files a couple of times to find all the Elements preferences, but the solution is working fine so far. I will let you know if I have any further problems. It is maddening when it happens, so I hope you can fix yours.
Best of Luck

Henwen, Is this solution still working for you? I tried this same solution on mine a few days ago and had no luck. However, it actually let me open files this afternoon then when I went back in later today, it was doing the disappearing act again.

Sharing Files with XP

I had a different router and I could share my desktop files/etc with my laptop. I just bought my Airport Extream, but I cant seem to share files on my network.
Is there anything I need to do/redo to be able to share files?

When you set up that particular folder as a shared folder. You need to configure a shared folder on the PC. See the following for help:

MacBook will not start. I have restarted with original CD. I have used Utilities and "no problem" with hard drive. I have reset PRAM. I have tried safe boot. Nothing is work. Gray screen with Apple logo and rotating wheel. Thanks for any suggestions!

Snow Leopard is a Mac OS X version. You say that it's the version you have in your Mac (10.6.8). Do a back up of your files, format the hard drive (using Disk Utility) and reinstall again

Using a network-stored catalog with Mac OSX

Greetings all.
I am using Photoshop Elements 11 on Mac OSX Mountain Lion and want to store my catalog on a local network drive (FreeNAS). I have encountered many problems while attempting to do this. Then I noticed in the Elements Organizer help, under the section "Repair a catalog", the following: "Note: (Mac OS) You cannot access catalogs present on a network drive."
Is this true. or has someone found a workaround to the problem?
Thanks!
--John

Thanks, for that ( I assume we have to carry on in English due to forum policy even though we are both of German tongue I assume)
You mean the access problems are part of the "no network drive" thing? I suspected that. Took me a whole day in front of my computer to realign the mess. So should one better not use the network drives at all? Quite a pity in times where everybody seems to use network storage.
No, I did not use organizer to use the photos. So there is no way to reconnect them? Should I delete the catalogue and start with the photos from scratch?
Regards

Well, yes, these are part of the "no network drive" thing.
As for moving the photos, did you use organizer to move them? You will always have trouble if you move photos outside of organizer, even on the same drive--you have to let it manage your photos or it doesn't have a clue as to what happened.

If I use pages and numbers on a Mac can I save the documents as an extension that I can use on a PC?

If I use pages and numbers on a Mac mini can I then save the documents as extensions that can be opened on a PC?

You can save Pages documents as Word documents and save a Numbers document as an Excel file. In Lion you can go to File>Export and then save as Word or Excel.
I assume that there is a way to do it in SL or Leopard as well.

I have been using Aperture 3.3.2 with Mac OS-X 10.7.5. This version doesn't support RAW with Nikon D7100, I decided to upgrade to 3.4. On downloading, it tells me that to upgrade, I need Aperture Vers.3! which I have. What to do??

Have you moved or renamed your Aperture 3 version? If it is not installed in the "Applications" folder or not named simply "Aperture", then Software Update will not recognize it.
Put Aperture back and "Software Update" should find your version.

Can I still use Appleworks 6.2.9 with Mac Mini 2012?

Can I still use Appleworks 6.2.9 with Mac Mini 2012?

Yes, MlchaelLAX, the KVM switch allow one to use one monitor, one keyboard, and one mouse between two computers. It has been so long that I'm not sure how to find the MODELS to the G4 and G5. Unless you mean what makes the Mac tick. The G5 is a dual 2GHz PowerPC, with 2 GB DDR SDRAM. The G4 is a bit slower, will look tomorrow.
I want/need a newer Mac model because unlike the days before OS X, all software was included as the newer OS were added, not so today. I'm still using Tiger because I still use a couple programs from the old days. When I eventually purchase a new model, I will have to buy all new software. That's find if one has plenty of money and wants to learn everything from scratch, but I'm hanging on as long as I can.
I tried TenFourFox, but it didn't allow video, of course since I tried Michael's suggestion, the video might not be an issue. So far, every thing works the way it should.
I have a lot of faith in Mac users, their loyalties to Apple is what kept Apple floating when many thought it would sink. These folks are survivors; I only wish the apple people on the top appreciated that loyalty today, but I guess things are too good.
Thanks to all for you kindness. Tomorrow I will show my husband how to remove his yellow threat on his G4. If anyone can answer any other questions, please know I will keep viewing this post.

Useful logs and trace files

Hello experts, for our Netweaver AS administration, I am in charge of periodically checking logs and trace files. I would like to know which are the most useful logs and trace files and the information each one will hold. I am familiar with "DefaultTrace.trc", and as of today it is the only one I have used, but I believe I should also be looking at other logs and trace files.
Any suggestions?

Hi Pedro,
If you are talking about JAVA only system defaulttrace is the best log/trace to look, there are other log files like application log, but maybe the best way to check you logs is using NWA (NetWeaver Administrator) on the following URL on your JAVA system:
http://<hostname>:<port>/nwa
From there you need to go to Monitoring -> Logs and Traces and then Predefined View/SAP logs.
My other recommendation is to change the severity level to ERROR for all you JAVA component within the Visual Administrator -> ServeNode -> Services -> Log Configurator -> Locations, otherwise it is possible that you see a lot of garbage on the defaulttraces. Anyway you can change the severity level per component, on demand, to investigate any possible problem.
The work directory is very imporant and maybe you can also check the file "dev_serverX" that also will give you information about any out of memory conditions and garbage collection activity if you have these values set for the server node using the config tool:
-verbose:gc
-XX:+PrintGCDetails
-XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps
You can find more information on here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/ac/e9d8a51c732e42bd0e7de54b9ff4e2/content.htm

I have my camera (Canon 5D Mark 2) set to take both JPEG Large and Raw files with each shot. I uploaded the images from the card to my Pro (Aperture 3) and while the import info said 1500 images were uploaded, I can't find the RAW images. Aperture put about 700 images in an untitled project folder, but all the images are the JPEGs. What am I missing?
Thanks,
upsjdris

Have you checked your "Import" settings for "Raw&Jpeg" pairs in the "Import" panel?
You can set Aperture to import raw, jpeg, or raw&jpeg.
If you imported Raw&Jpeg, but have set Aperture to use the Jpeg as original, you will see the imported image as Jpeg image, not as a raw image, even if the raw has also been imported. You can switch between Raw and Jpeg originals for selected images from the Photos menu:
Photos > Use Raw as original.
