Windows XP cannot connect/logon to my iMac that has 10.5.8
I tried searching the forum and could not find this exact problem, so I hope I am not re-asking the same question....
I just upgraded from a 7-year-old G4 system running Tiger, and am having issues logging in as a user from a PC to the new Leopard system.
I am trying to logon/connect with my new (June 2009) iMac from a laptop running Windows XP Home, on my home network via AirPort. In Sharing, I have the "File Sharing" box ticked, and the AFP and SMB boxes ticked in the "Options" window, as well as the account that I want to be able to log in with. In the "Shared Folders" column, I have the hard drive and the user account listed, that I want shared. The permissions are set to Administrator(s) can read & write and everyone else can only read.
On the XP system, in Workgroup, I can see the iMac, but when I double-click it, NO request for a username and password comes up. Instead you can see the shared folders, and navigate through them. However, you CANNOT open any files or folders, getting a error message saying that you do not have permissions for these networt resources and that access is denied.
What is happening?
I can still log in fine to the old Tiger system, and the Tiger system can log in fine to the Loepard system and vise-versa, but I CANNOT log into the Leopard system from the XP Home PC.
I have looked around online and see mention of smb problems with Leopard, but no sure answers, that I can see.
Please help - thanks in advance!
Hello,
I am having a similar issue with Mac OS 10.5.8.
I upgraded about 1 week ago and since I cannot see my shared folders in the Finder, and I cannot connect to them anymore using SMB. On the other hand my TimeCapsule works fine.
The first symptoms I noticed were that my Windows XP Pro shared folders were no more visible from the Finder. After checking it I tried to connect to them using the Apple+K command. There I can see the share, it asks me which disk I want to mount then when I select one, I get an error -6602.
The weird thing is when I am at home I can see my timecapsule appearing directly in the Finder but not any other share.
Also I have noticed it to be almost impossible to share folders from my Mac OS to other machines. We have a few Windows and Linux at work, I used to share data with them but now, it is impossible for them to see me, or access my shared folders. And this is not due to bad access right, I have checked a number of time.
Anyone has any ideas on what do I do? or how I can solve this issue? I am considering just reinstalling the laptop completely but this is a huge time consuming job that I would rather not do!
Thanks,
Ced

I am trying to print wirelessly from my ipad to an epson stylus SX438W. The connection appears fine on both devices but the ipad cannot connect to the printer. It has been working fine for the past 4 months. Can anyone help?
Have you tried restarting the printer? Reboot the iPad as well.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. -

IPod was synced with IMac that has died.
My Ipod was synced with my IMac that has completely died and now I am trying to resync it with my Windows Vista machine. I was primary using my IMac but now I must use my Windows Machine and when I try to sync my iTunes library it wants to reformat my IPod. The library on my Windows machine is a old copy of my music and if I reformat my Ipod I will lose over 400 songs that are on my IPod and not on my Windows machine. Is there anyway I can get my IPod to again work with my IMac without reformatting it?
Hello leftwir,
No. A Mac formatted iPod, cannot be read or written to on a Windows Machine. If you want to make that possible, you'll need the help of some third party software such as [XPlay|http://www.mediafour.com/products/xplay]. If you go that route, you'll need to copy the music from the iPod Nano over to your iTunes library on your Vista computer.
If you can't or are unwilling to go that route, your only other option is to salvage the music off your iMac's hard drive and copy it over to your Windows computer.

I have an Intel based iMac that has just developed two small spots on the screen - they look light brighter spots on the screen. One 1/8" circle at bottom right and a tiny circle at top right. The fading on and off light on area surrounding the screen isn't working anymore either. Has anyone else had similar problems? Any solutions? Thanks!
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

I have a late 2006 iMac that has just started giving me a message to reboot after a black screen comes down slowly from the top top of the screen to the bottom. I reloaded software and restored from Time Machine, but it keeps happening, now several tomes a day. Any insight as to the issue or a proposed solution?
Unplug any peripherals you have except your keyboard, reboot, and check activity monitor for apps. Keep running apps to a minimum to find the App causing the issue.

I am trying to select and download the correct version of iPhoto for my mother-in-law's (new to her) iMac that has OS X 10.5.8.
Any suggestions on which version to download?There are no downloads(aside from updaters in Software Update.) You need to purchase a iLife 09 or earlier DVD or install iPhoto from the computer's original disks.

My wife has a new Ipad and Iphone with icloud. We also have a Imac that has not been upgraded yet that is somehow syncing with her ipad and screwing up the apps. Is there anyway to prevent this. Maybe it is thru mobilme?
I think iCloud isn't coming until this fall and not until iOS 5 is publicly available. Right now there is confusion because all this stuff is still in beta and things are under NDA and may still change.
I'd just set the 3GS up the same as currently. When iOS 5 is available in the fall (and I don't think Apple has specified beyond "fall"), before you update, there should be any number of guides to setting things up and how it will all work. http://macworld.com is a good place to look for such information. -
How do I transfer my applications from a 2010 iMac to a new 2013 iMac that has a Fusion Drive?
What is the best way to transfer my Applications from a 2010 iMac to a 2013 iMac that has a Fusion Drive. I am particularly concerned about losing all my old mail. My documents have already been transferred.
The best way is to make a backup of your old iMac. Do this either by cloning to an external hard drive through SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. OR Use Time Machine.
Then set up your new iMac using either Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant.
See this link for more.

I have an imac that has the panther upgrade disk. I need to reinstall the os, but cant because os 10.2 was preloaded on the computer. All I have is the upgrade disk, which wont do!! What do I do?!!
Why do you need to re-install? Try to fix the problem.
I would assume a 10.2 full install would be fairly cheap on ebay.
