Win7 harddrive sharing on Mac

Hi, I've look everywhere to find a solution for this, this is so far where I'm up to:
1, following this tutorial I can now access to win7 folders, no problem.
http://macs.about.com/od/filesharing/ss/file-sharing-win7-snow-leopard.htm
The problem is, I want to share a HDD partition on my PC, ie: drive D
I can see all the DD partition on the finder, but when I try to connect, it say I have no permission.
is there anything else I can do? or Mac simply don't support PC HDD Partition share? please help

Hi
It's been some time but if I remember rightly WGM always presented a 'warning' prompt when changing permissions to something other than the default users and groups. 10.4 does the same. Dismiss the warning and continue defining the group you want and save the changes. You can always revert it back again. Just make sure you propagate permissions. Use the 'Copy these settings' option - I think? Like I said its been some time.
Just curious as to why 10.3.7? It should be OK for you to run Software Update and get the server up to 10.3.9 at least. If all the server is doing is simple file sharing it should be OK as I don't recall any issues with that particular update?

How can I transfer my iphoto library from a Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) harddrive to a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) hard drive?

Community,
Every time I try to transfer my iphoto library from a Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) harddrive to a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) hard drive, I receive the attached message: "You can't copy 'iPhoto Library' because it has the same name as another ideon on the destination volume, and that volume doesn't destinguish between upper- and lowercase letters in filenames."
My theory is, if I am able to unpackage my iphoto library, I can transfer each folder one at a time so that I can trouble shoot any "duplicates." Will this work?
Let's say that works. How can I repackage the library so iphoto recognizes it?
Is there a better way?
Thank you,
Jonathan

Can we assume that I don't have any naming conflicts? Clearly there are or else I wouldn't get the error I'm getting.
The error doesn't mean you have name conflicts. It means that the Finder won't take the chance that you might have them.
You're suggesting that all I would need to do would be to use Carbon Copy Cloner to transfer the files from the case-sensative harddrive to my Extended Journaled harddrive?
Yes. But I would just use the built-in rsync shell command. First, back up all data if you haven't already done so. Launch the Terminal application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press the space bar:
rsync -aE --delete
Now drag the iPhoto library you want to copy into the window. You should have something like this:
rsync -aE --delete /Users/you/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library
Drag the Pictures folder on the destination volume into the window. Now you have this (line will wrap on the page):
rsync -aE --delete /Users/you/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library /Volumes/something/Users/you/Pictures
Press return. The copying operation will start. When it finishes, you'll see a new dollar-sign ("$") prompt below what you entered. If there were no errors, you're done.

Elements 12 use Win7 will change to Mac Book License

IHi, I am going to Buy a Mac Book Pro. Can I simply instal PSe 12 with the Apple CD from the package? Do I first have to deactivate my PSE 12 on the currently used Win 7 HP Laptop?

Hi cbafiero,
It seems that the problem lies in your router. I'm not sure exactly what the issue is (I've just now discovered it myself), but after switching from a Linksys WRT54GX2 to a thrift store Netgear, my shared libraries appeared instantly. My gut is telling me that the Linksys routers are blocking the multicast traffic, which is stupid on Linksys's part, to filter traffic internally. I'll look more into the Netgear and see what it has that the Linksys doesn't (or vice versa).

Attatching internal harddrives to my Mac-using Firewire 800 or Esata

I would like to attach internal harddrives to my mac-book pro so that I can back up work, large files from video / raw pictures, etc. I have heard people doing this with 7200 rpm internal drives. How would I connect them to my Mac?
The solutions such as VANTEC NexStar NST-D200SU Plastic 2.5" & 3.5" USB2.0 seem to have a lot of overheating issues, and the firewire hard drives that are for sale are a bit expensive considering how much data I want to back up.
Any suggestions, or bite the bullet and spend the $$ on the more expensive solutions? Thanks,

You cannot install additional hard drives inside a MBP, so I'm assuming you mean external drives. See the following:
Basic Backup
Get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Backuplist
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
iBackup
JaBack
Silver Keeper
MimMac
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
Cool Drives
OWC
WiebeTech
Firewire Direct
California Drives
NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.
Unfortunately, I have no idea where you would purchase any of the above in Cambodia.

Before I install snow leopard, I tried to move tiger into the external harddrive. My mac says it can't do because it is the OS X. So I installed snow leopard without removing tiger. After that, my computer often freezes. How can I remove tiger?

When you installed Snow Leopard, Tiger was replaced, leaving your programs and files intact.
What is causing your freezing problem is unknown, you can take Kappy's advice and remove everything, but you lose your files and free iLife programs that came with Tiger/new machine.
The 10.6.3 disk you "upgraded" with has the full 10.6.3 on it, but no free iLife suit, so a erase and install will remove what you already have installed.
You can try to locate your problem without the erase and install method by running through this list of fixes.
Step by Step to fix your Mac
But before you do anything, backup your personal data off the machine to a extenal drive and disconnect.
Most commonly used backup methods
Because if you have to follow Kappy's advice and wipe and install 10.6 fresh, it will cure your problem in nearly 99% of cases, but you have to rebuild everything. All programs and files.
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
If this is all too much for you, then STOP and call a local PC/Mac service or competant friend to assist you.
Yuo might need to install more RAM into the machine to make 10.6 run better as well.

Snow Leopard File Sharing Makes Mac Unstable

Since going to Snow Leopard on my 24"iMac (clean install, currently 10.6.2), I have been unable to see any of the PCs on my network and have had multiple, daily application freezes, slow application startups, pinwheels and other assorted problems.
After many hours of on-line research, troubleshooting and calling Apple support to no avail, I finally found that the problem is related to file sharing in a blog at iLounge.
http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/backstage/comments/two-proposed-solutions-to-sn ow-leopard-crash-problems-on-macs/
Following Solution 2 in the blog which involves turning file sharing off and removing shared folders, my Mac is running better than it ever has since I got it. Applications pop open, no app freezes, no more pinwheels - but no more sharing. Posters to the blog report that the problems recur as soon as they try add shared folders back on their Macs.
This is very disappointing performance from Apple, particularly since file sharing worked quite well with OS 10.5 and I was able to see all the PCs on my network and share files anywhere on the network.
Hopefully, Apple is working on a fix. People who do not use file sharing should not see these problems.
Questions: Are there any work-arounds that will let me re-enable file sharing on my Mac so that I can share files with my network of PCs (Win 7, Vista and XP) without having to go back to OS 10.5 or the almost hourly problems with 10.6? Can we expect a fix from Apple in the near future?

Work arounds should not be needed. If what's below doesn't work with a little customization to your situation, then you have a non-Snow problem.
A. On a Win7 machine,
1. Ignore everything to do with Homegroup, except as mentioned below.
2. Go > Computer > Users > User; right click on User and chose Share with > Specific people; and Set to share with a specific individual or Everyone with Read/Write permission.
3. Go Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change advanced sharing settings, and Turn on network discovery; Turn on file and printer sharing; Turn off public folder sharing (unless you want it on); Turn off password protected sharing (unless sharing won’t work without turning it on); Select 128-bit encryption; and elect to Allow Windows to manage homegroup ….
4. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).
B. On a Vista machine,
1. Select a folder to share, right click on the folder, choose sharing, and, using the remaining menus/options, share the folder with everyone allowing read and write (later, after getting things working, you can change who is allowed to share the folder).
2. Go Control Panel > Network and, turn on file and printer sharing, Turn off public folder sharing, and Turn off password protected sharing (unless sharing won’t occur without turning it on). Turn on allow network access if there is a box to do so (can't remember).
3. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).
C. On an XP machine.
1. Try sharing your My Documents folder. To do so, right click on the folder, and, as I recall, chose sharing.
2. Alternatively, I think you can look at the folders properties after right clicking and then select sharing.
3. However you get there you should see two sharing options. Check both of them. 4. Look at the folders permissions. Enable "everyone" to read and write the folder.
5. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).
D. On a Sno machine,
1. Go System Preferences > Sharing > Check File sharing > Go Options > Enable SMB sharing.
2. Go System Preferences > Network > Select Airport or Ethernet depending on what you are going to be using.
3. If your network is wireless, having selected Airport, select ask to join new networks and show Airport status in menu bar. If it is an Ethernet network, then Go System Preferences > Network > Select Ethernet. Chose configure IpV4 using DHCP, and ignore the "remember networks this computer has joined instruction" below.
4. Click advanced > click remember networks this computer has joined > Click Wins > Enter the ip address of the Vista machine in the WINS server box > Enter the Vista's workgroup name in the workbook box unless it already is there (look in the drop down menu too). In all likelihood the name is workgroup, but check on the Vista machine.
5. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).

Lion to Win7 (bootcamp) Sharing just Stopped

I have all my music on my macbook pro running lion (the newest version).
On my Mac Pro which I run in bootcamp, all of sudden, my shared library no longer shows. I have the newest version of iTunes on the bootcamp side of the Mac Pro as well. It worked fine for ever, but now it just stopped showing up. The only thing I can think of that changed was updating Lion to 10.7.5 (on the computer that is hosting the music).
On the Lion side of my Mac Pro, sharing works fine, which leads me to believe it is a setting in Win7 or something. I checked my firewall in Windows7 and there is a rule to allow itunes so I am unsure what the issue could be.
Any help would be appreciated!

UPDATE
Ok so I think it is somehow related to my Mac Pro (Bootcamped in Win7 64bit).
If I switch from my Local Area Connection for my Wireless connection, homesharing works.
So using wireless I can home share, but using a wired connection it does not. Both the Local Area Connection and the Wireless had the same exact settings (IPv6 etc...).
Screenshot: http://tinyurl.com/9qvwh2w
Really I am just curious why this is the case. I do prefer a wired connection so I am hoping to get to the bottom of this.

Imac no longer "sees" shared non-Mac devices on network

Hi everyone,
Here's a real puzzler (for me anyway). I have three Macs, two PCs and an Escient digital jukebox on the home network over standard router-based ethernet connections. The system has worked great especially since Leopard came out and automatically detected the non-Mac devices and added them to the shared category on Finder. Suddenly in the last couple of days I noticed that although the Mac devices are still on the shared network, the PC hard drives and the Escient jukebox has mysteriously disappeared. All of the devices work properly, and I have made no changes in my network recently.
Any thoughts on diagnosing the lost shared devices and restoring them? I tried Time Machine, but it acted also as if those devices never existed. Thanks for your help!

Hmm yes.. this is a strange one.
You could try this as it appears to work with a couple of tests I ran.
Open your Network Preferences pane from  > System Preferences.
Make a new location.
For which ever interface you are using, be it Wired (Built In Ethernet) or Wireless (AirPort), click the "Advanced" Button. Click on "WINS" and enter the workgroup name of your other Windows Devices (Default is usually WORKGROUP) into the Workgroup drop down menu.
You can also use the menu to see if your mac can see any other workgroups.
Click OK, Click apply and see if it worked.

How do I consolidate all this at this point: Icloud Drive, Itunes Match, Local iTunes Library, Local iPhoto, Local Aperture, Photo stream, Familly sharing, sharing on iOS, music sharing on iOS, music sharing on mac etc.

I am trying to grasp all the possibilities for consolidating my stuff and my family's stuff from multiple devices and multiple accounts from multiple sources but I cant.
I have been reading many instructions and FAQ regarding iCloud Drive, iCloud Sharing, iTunes Match, Familly Sharing, file size limitations on iCloud Drive, app sharing on iOS, Backup vs Sync vs cloud sharing, storing iWork documents on iCloud drive, storing iTunes library on iCloud Drive, storing iPhoto library on iCloud Drive, storing Aperture library on the iCloud, the Photos app on iOS with iCloud and many others.... but I feel like I need a systems admin course from apple to manage all of it.
This is what I and my family currently have:
Hardware: Multiple iPhones, Multiple Macs, Apple TV (with hard drive), Multiple iPads.
Operating systems: Everything is upgraded to the latest iOS and Yosemite.
Libraries:
1) Multiple iTunes Libraries locally stored on Macs and IPhones with lossless CD music and iTunes purchased music. What I want to do:
a) Have a main family shared iTunes library across ALL devices that contains our Lossless music and purchased music. so that it can be played across ALL devices. With the ability to have private music for each individual (Not shared).
b) Purchase new music and add it to the family share or purchase music and make it private (Not shared).
2) Multiple iPhoto Libraries macs (With photo stream from iPhones) and ONE Aperture Library on my mac. What I want to do:
a) Have a main family shared photo library that every one can deposit to and view.
b) Store individual iPhoto libraries on iCloud Drive(s)? So that everyone can have their own library and edit it across THEIR devices.
c) Store and use my Aperture Library on iCloud Drive?
Other documents:
iWork files, PDFs etc. What I want to do:
a) Have a main family shared area (on iCloud Drive i suppose) where we can share documents.
b) Sync private documents across ALL individuals devices (Available locally and on iCloud).
c) Store private documents (One instance) on iCloud drive and make them available on ALL individuals devices.
d) Backup of local documents?
Apps:
iOS apps:
a) Share purchased apps?
b) Not share private apps.
Storage:
What do I purchase to accomplish the above:
a) iCloud storage for everyone?
b) iTunes Match for everyone?
c) All of the above?
Conclusion:
It would be great for Apple to explain all this with all the options in one concise document instead of hunting down individual documents and sections all over the place.
Thank you for your help.

Hey there!
You and I are data soulmates. I have been having this trouble for a while and have yet to get my head around it. Our problem is that we've cycled through multiple macs and the "home" or "host" for all the stuff that's now been moved or moving to the Cloud is very scattered. It drives me crazy... almost to the point where I'm thinking about starting a brand-new iCloud account and beginning from scratch.
If you have any experiences or recommendations you could share about your strategy, I would love to hear it.

External HDD to be shared with Mac and Windows XP

I wish to share an external HDD via firewire/USB between an ibook G4 on OSX 10.3.9 and Windows XP. Apart from using FAT32 and having partitions for each OS just in case can anyone share any risks considerations I need to be aware of? I intend on having a generic 320Gb Seagate drive installed into an aluminium box but for some reason Lacie seem to be particularly good with Mac's and I can't ascertain why.
ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) Acer Windows XP

There appears to be some misunderstanding about what systems can read or write what hard drives.
OS X can read and write HPS+ and FAT32 formatted drives, and can read, but not write to NTFS drives. Windows can read and write NTFS and FAT32 drives, and cannot read nor write HPS+ drives. Fresh out of the box the only read/write file sharing is via FAT32 drives.
There are reasonable methods for expanding this capability.
(1) Windows can be given the ability to read and write HPS+ drives by installing MacDrive 6 on the Windows machine. As far as I know there is no software available which gives OS X the ability to read and write NTFS drives - - maybe it exists or is under develpment somewhere.
(2) Both OSX and Windows can read/write files that are on a networked file server regardless of the file system used by that file server. The server hides its underlying file system from clients. Just connecting a network capable HDD to a router is NOT the same thing as having a file server on the network - - the same basic file limitations still exist.

Home Sharing one Mac Book Air Will Not allow Music to Transfer to the MAC

First here's what we have
2 users, (2) iPhones and Mac Book Pro and Mac Book Air and a Windows PC
All computers are set to manually manage music.
I have home sharing set on all 3 computers. When l log into either the Macs or the PC I can drag music I want between either computer with no problems. All computers are authorized. When my wife logs into her account on her Mac Air she cannot move any music from the shared computers. We have separate iTunes accounts. Anyone have any idea, why when using her user account she cannot drag the music files over to her Mac Air

for home sharing to work, iTunes must be authorized to the same user account.

How do I remove/prevent a random and unwanted PC from "sharing" my Mac?

Whenever I go to save a paper that I am working on, on the left hand side of the save menu there is an area labeled "Sharing." Underneath this title there is a Dell that is evidently sharing my information. I do not know this person and I do not know how they got connected to my Macbook. Is there anyone who knows how to remove this person from "Sharing" my information?

The Dell has file sharing enabled, so it is advertising its services. Mac OS X has seen that Dell is a file server and is allowing you to choose the file server if you desire.
The Dell knows nothing about you or your Mac except what you may be advertising via System Preferences -> Sharing. If you do not share anything, then the Dell will only be able to see your Mac as an IP address on the local network.
If you do not want the Dell to share files, then configure the Dell to disable its file sharing. Or just do not select the Dell as an output destination.
