Why can't I connect to my shared computers for file sharing;I have 3 Macs and I can connect the other 2 but not my new Macbook air.
I have a black Macbook 4,1 running 10.7.5, an iMac 11,3 running 10.7.5 and a new Macbook Air 6,2 running 10.9.5., I have file sharing turned on on all machines. All machines are visible and I can connect all machines except for the Macbook Air. The Macbook air can see the other 2 Macs but does not connect to either of them or even give me the option to connect as a guest or a registered user. The other Macs connect to the Macbook Air but it will not connect with them. Any help is appreciated. Thank You.

I did everything the article suggests. And for my macbook pro it works perfectly. But all the other devices (iphone 5, 4, Macbook Air) can't connect to the network. Anybody any idea's?
Try resetting your modem. Power it down. Wait a moment, then power it up again. While it resets, do not change what is connected to it.
In another, though unrelated article, Apple recommends the following:
If you have configured your Wi-Fi base stations in the past, it may be helpful to do a factory default reset of each Wi-Fi base station that will be part of the wireless extended network before you begin.
This step really ought not be considered optional for the configuration you propose. If the problem persists after resetting your modem, reset everything else too. -
how do I set up my Imac to allow using both my computer speakers and a Bose SoundLink system as outputs at the same time. I can use one or the other, but not both. From systems Preferences I must select one or the other. I want both to work all the time.
Hi,
I would recommend you to use 0FI_AP_4 rather using both, particularly for many reasons -
1. DS: 0FI_AP_4 replaces DataSource 0FI_AP_3 and still uses the same extraction structure. For more details refer to the OSS note 410797.
2. You can run the 0FI_AP_4 independent of any other FI datasources like 0FI_AR_4 and 0FI_GL_4 or even 0FI_GL_14. For more details refer to the OSS note: 551044.
3. Map the 0FI_AP_4 to DSO: 0FIAP_O03 (or create a Z one as per your requirement).
4. Load the same to a InfoCube (0FIAP_C03).
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

When I connect my iPod touch to my computer, I have a list of Events on my iTunes-iPod-Photos. I want to erase these Events. However, the photos are NOT on my MacBook Air-iPhoto. When I check one of the Events and then hit Apply, the photos appear on my iPod. And one last thing: When I connect the iPod and open iPhoto, iPhoto tries to load New Photos (I think), but nothing happens. Any ideas?
Resolved.

I want to keep the pages above the section break as portrait, and the ones below I want to change into landscape. Is this possible? I can only get it to be one or the other but not both.
The work around is to do two documents, one in portrait format and one in landscape format. When finished export to Pdf. open in Preview by select both files and use Cmd + O or doubleclick. You can now in Previews thumbnail column the pages from one document into the other and then save.
If you have created only one with i.e. all pages in portrait format but with the content for the landscape pages rotated on the pages, you can rotate the pages in Preview. Two ways to get the same result. -
Yosemite does not recognize HP printer after upgrade. I can print from my iPhone, but not my 13" Macbook Air (2013)
Are others having the same problems?Try this. Worked for me.
- turn off your router
- turn off you Mac's after removing all available printers
- turn off all iDevices
- do a factory reset of your printer remove all cables min. 30 sec.
- turn on your router first
- ran the network set up wizard
- give your printer also a new name like "DeskJet 2015"
Something which you don't have used before.
- turn on your Mac's and add your printer
- turn on your iDevices at least.
Should work after these steps.
It worked for me including all iDevices.

Extreme blocks out ethernet computers for file sharing.
Gentlefolks,
I am very hopeful I can get a solution suggestion for my issue. I don't know networks very well.
I get on the internet via DSL modem to a 2wire <something> that runs into a internet hub (switch it seems to be called now!) I have three Macs that are hard wired to the hub with the 2wire <something> providing addresses using DHCP. I have an Airport Extreme base station (the dome shaped guy) running connected to the hub using the LAN, not the WAN, connection on the base station.
I use a Macbook Pro on the network fine. When I take it to wireless, it can get to the internet just fine. I can even print using Appletalk. BUT,,, I can not see any of the other computers that are on the ethernet for file sharing. If I just connect up my ethernet on the Macbook then everything works just fine. Using the wireless shuts out the other machines.
Any suggestions?A switch may or may not have an uplink port. IMHO uplink ports are outdated and not really useful since most devices have auto-sensing Ethernet ports.
A hub routes all traffic to all ports. This means that devices see a lot of traffic which is not for their use. Think of it like the old telephone party lines where you could hear anyones conversation because it was broadcast to everyone.
A switch is an intelligent hub. It knows what devices are connected to what port and routes traffic destined for a device ONLY on the port to which that device is connected. Therefore a switch reduces the traffic on any given port. Think of it like today's (private) telephone lines where you only get the calls which are for you and you can't hear calls made to your neighbor. -
II am new to Mac and was trying to transfer data from my PC to my new Macbook Pro. The connection was lost however and now my Pro is stuck on the 'Transferring you nformation' screen. How do I get out of this screen so I can attempt the connection again? Is it safe to force shut down of my Mac and will it still prompt me through all the setup process again?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If your Mac and PC are connected by Ethernet, unplug and plug that cable again. If not, you have to turn off the MacBook by holding the Power button.
In the next startup, try to transfer your files again. It's important not to interrupt the transfer process, because in most cases, you will stop it and you won't be able to resume it -
Old Macbook connects to corporate ethernet --- but not my new Macbook Pro
I've now tried nearly everything to solve this problem: My old white plastic Macbook connects to the corporate LAN --- but not my new mid-2009 Macbook Pro.
All the settings are the same. I have on occasion managed to connect the new Macbook Pro to the network but only for a short time.
Our IT folks have checked the cable, the ports,routers etc and everything is just fine.
I am able to connect to the network from other ports in the office --- but not from my office (except with the old white plastic Macbook).
Please, can someone help?Fishbair wrote:

If you can connect when using other ports in your office the problem is almost a certainty that the issue is with the port you can't connect with. Did your IT guy switch ports at the switch side to one that is known to work? We can't troubleshoot your LAN and it sounds like your computer is set up correctly if it connects using other ports. -
I am trying to transfer older files from a Mac PowerBook G4, running system 9, printing those documents as pdf, using Acrobat 4. Then those pdf documents will transfer to my newer MacBook Air, running OSX 10, allowing me to store and use them. My problem is that Acrobat 4 no longer seems to work on the old Mac, and I don't know how to fix it. Can anyone give me some suggestions?

I can't remember what you do to open a link. I'm in my bank site and want to open bill pay. It says it opened in another tab but it isn't. What the heck?

You click on it.
Which os version are you using? Which browser & version are you using? If you are using Safari, post in its forum area. A 3rd party browser, post in their forums.
Have you contacted the bank webmaster or tech support to determine that the issue is not on their end?

My Mac mini server has suddenly stopped seeing one or the other bluetooth devices, either the wireless keyboard or the mouse( both apple products) have tried new batteries, at first it was the mouse that stopped responding, but upon rebooting the computer now the keyboard will not respond and the mouse works. Both work fine on an older Mac mini that I hooked back up to check.
There is absolutely no reason why they should not bothe be able to connect to your WiFi network. The easiest place to start would be to reboot your router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again. I would also restart both the iPad and the iPhone.

How can I play itunes music through one of the usb ports on my new MacBook Air?
Greetings Everyone.
I just purchased my first Mac product I want to be able to play music from the itunes app from one of my usb ports to the usb port on the front panel of my Yamaha CD changer. I want to utilize the buit-in DAC of the Yamaha. A friend was able to run his Ipad through it but I can't see a way to run my MacBook Air through it. When I go to System Preferences -> Hardware -> Sound the only item listed for Output is "Internal Speakers".
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.Reset the SMC and PRAM
SMC Reset:
Shut down the MacBook Pro.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM:
Shut down the MacBook Pro.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
