Wireless and wired mac pro isue

I recently bought a mac book air, Im trying to use my mac_pro's optical drive, but my mac pro
is not wireless, it is wired conected to a linksys router to get the internet, when Im trying to make virtual conection with the remote disk option, nothing appear on the list...
A step of the process on the guide says "Make sure your mac book air an the other computer and on the same wireless network", does it means that I can't use my wired mac pro 's optical drive to share?
please somebody help me...

I'm going to disagree with Kappy - it does work with wired computers. Instructions for Optical Drive Sharing are on Page 15 of the MacBook Air Users guide. You will need to install the Optical Drive Sharing software package on the host Mac if it is running Tiger (10.4.10 required) that's on Disc 1 of the MacBook Air System Discs.

AirportExtremeN sharing among wireless and wired Macs how?

I've an AirportExtremeN base station with Airdisk that works fine wirelessly with my MacBookPro (Tiger) and a desktop PC running XP, as well as an eMac (Panther) and a Mini(Tiger) that are wired to the same AirportExtremeN base station via ethernet. All 4 machines print to the USB printer and share a DSL internet connection fine too.
I cannot figure out
(1) how to share the AirDisk with the wired machines, or
(2) how to mount the wired Mac's on the MacBookPro.
I've got the latest software versions and the AirportExtremeN firmware updated.
Advice please

1) On the wired machine(s), use the Go menu in the Finder to connect to your "server." It is the same IP address as your AEBS, so usually 10.0.1.1.
2) not quite sure what you mean, but if I'm guessing correctly, it's the same procedure as file sharing over any network and is not specific to your AEBS or Airdisk. Use the same Go --> Server menu to log onto and mount any wired Mac that has file sharing turned on.

Bridging wireless and wired network interfaces

Hi,
Is it possible to "bridge" the airport and ethernet network interfaces on a macbook pro using Leopard (10.5.7) ? I do not mean Internet connection sharing. That results in NAT.
I recently got a desktop in my room which doesn't have a WiFi interface. I wish to connect its wired interfaced to my mbp's wired interface and give it access to the wireless network my mbp is on. To do this I would need to bridge the wireless and wired interfaces on my mbp. All the results I find online to do this only talk about Internet Connection Sharing ..
thanks,
regards,
Puneet

You can turn on IP Forwarding to achieve most of what you're after:
sudo sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
This will have the Mac forward packets from one interface to the other without NAT.
However you still need to use separate subnets, and may need to play with routing to get everyone to talk to each other.

The best way to connect wireless and wired for a WRT160N.

It took me about 4 hours to find out how to connect wireless and wired to a network using model WRT160N. Here is what I have done. First install the CD when it says there is not connection connect your PC, Modem and router Andy any wireless are wired products, after that do what the linksys advisor tells your which is default. When it gives you the security key write it down because you will need it for your wireless and wired Products. Under security mode type your SDD name and where key 1 is type your security password with was given to you. Remember all you wireless products have to have the same SDD Like Linsys and all your wired products have to have a different name like Linsys2 but your Key 1 numbers has to stay the same. That is all you have to do. Remember that wireless and wired has to be in sequence. That should do it.

Hi David Hamilton1;
I guess that all depends on how critical your data is in relation to how much time you want to spend doing the erasure. Those higher level erasure options can take a significant amount of time to complete. Personally I don't have anything on my Mac that I think is worth more time then a simple erasure even if that does leave it some what recoverable. To me it seems some people are going overboard on this issue.

Make network to connect wireless and ethernet macs

i have a macbook that connects via Airport, and a Mac Pro that connects via ethernet.
In the past - I've had no problems connecting/sharing between 2 macs, but both were sharing one airport.
Since plugging in the MacPro, I'm no longer able to share between the airport connected macbook and ethernet connected MacPro.
Seems like it should be simple and I'm feeling silly.
help?

wireless mac -
ip - 10.0.1.2
subnet - 255.255.255.0
router - 10.0.1.1
macpro ethernet -
ip - 192.168.15.2
subnet - 255.255.255.0
router - 192.168.15.1
I had tried doing a manual setting on the ethernet connected mac (which is plugged into the back of the airport, btw) - changed all settings to match the wireless mac, but still am not able to print wireless to the ethernet mac. when I look under "sharing" on the ethernet mac, the ip still shows up as 192.168.15.1, even after manual config....
thanks in advance

Wireless setup for Mac Pro OSX 10.9.4 for HP Deskjet 3054 J610

HP Deskjet 3054 J610, need to know how to set it up on a wireless network. The HP installer disk I have says this verison not supported. I cannot find a newer version.
The printer worked on old Imac and a different network. The network now is a Verizon jetpack 4G LTE and a Mac Pro Laptop. USB connection does work.
I have reset the printer to defalt. However I am unable to find a way to tell the printer what network to use. The Apple printer software does not give me a way to do this.

Can an airport express support wireless and wired connection at the same time

im wondering if i can use wireless and wired connection at the same time

The Ethernet port that the old AirPort Express has got is to connect the AirPort Express to your modem, not to connect another PC or Mac, so you can only connect wireless devices to the AirPort Express.
If you have the new AirPort Express, you can connect a wired PC or Mac and more wireless devices or computers at the same tiem

I have a sony handy cam model HDR-HC1 and a mac pro running osx10.9.3, are they compatible? as far as downloading movies from my handy cam. thanks in advance

i have a sony handy cam model HDR-HC1 and a mac pro running osx10.9.3, are they compatible? as far as downloading movies from my handy cam. thanks in advance. If not, is there a different route i can take to get those recordings in to my mac pro?

See if the cam shows up under Devices in the Image Capture app.
Image Capture is located in your Applications folder.
Launch Image Capture then connect the camera.
The camera should show up under Devices top left side of the Image Capture window.
Now look at the bottom left side of the window. Click the: Connecting this (device) opens: pop up menu and select an application to import your photos.
You can also select a folder to import photos from the Import To: pop up menu.
Selet the photos you want to import then click Import or Import All on the right.

You can use the two graphics cards, but it's only useful if you have more than two displays. It won't give you higher speed.

I'm not sure how to post a message. I hope this might interest someone. The situation; 3 floors,I am having trouble with an an Airport Extreme, 802.11n on the top floor and a Mac Pro 3.1 on the bottom floor. Not always but often it has trouble seeing the Airport and making a connection. I have an older Airport Express, would it help to install it? would it work best if it was installed in the same room? should it be installed half way in between? Get another Extreme? The Mac Book Pro on the middle floor can see 11 networks in the neighbourhood if that might be causing a problem or would if I installed the Express. Thank for your consideration.

Thanks for your time ... I appologize for the font and colour, I compossed the question in pages and failed to notice the font colour as grey ... there are a variety of computers of various ages so I think it is using a setting that allows both 5G and 2.4 ... the connection to the Airport is thru a cable modem and cable does run throuhout the house ... maybe those hard wires would be a place to look at ... do you think that putting the 'Express' on the second floor might help ... thanks again ...

HT1338 hi what antivirus is best in macbook pro???and may mac pro is go slow?

hi what antivirus is best in macbook pro???and may mac pro is go slow?

Forget about viruses, and don't install Sophos, which is worthless.
First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
One possible cause of a slow user interface is a large number of image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons. If you have more than a dozen or so such files, move them to another folder.
Otherwise, take these steps when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.

Using a WRT54G as a second wireless and wired router on a LAN

I have setup a WRT54G as a second wired and wireless router on my local LAN.
The WAN wired side of the WRT54G is setup completely DHCP. It gets IP 192.168.1.104 most of the time. (I have used a PC with DHCP on theis ethernet wire and it gets to the internet OK).
The LAN side of the WRT54G is setup as 192.168.20.1 and all wireless and wired devices connecting to it get ips of 192.168.20.xxx and communicate between them selfs perfectly. However, none of them can get to the internet through the WRT54G. What have I done wrong?
Thank You

I guess your WRT54G is not connected to Internet directly, but it's connected to another router that has Internet access.
If this is the case, you can configure this device as access point/hub only in order to get Internet access from the other router. Ignore the WAN connection on this WRT54G, just connect both router's LAN port with crossover cable.. After that configure the WRT54G's wireless setting. You can get more detailed info on how to do it in following article:
Quick Guide to Configure Wireless Router as Access Point
Hope helps..

Nvidia CUDA for 27" iMac and the Mac Pro

I want to use Adobe Premier CS5.5 and it's Mercury Playback engine. What Nvidia CUDA-enabled card should I get for the 27" iMac and the Mac Pro to use this feature in Premier CS5?

No. Open the App Store on one computer running Snow Leopard. Purchase and download Lion. On the other computer open the App Store, log on using the same Apple ID, re-download Lion at no extra charge.
Alternatively, see Burning A Lion Boot Disc

I have attempted to update my software over 10 times but I get a network connection error. Anyone with the same problem? Got it on the wireless and wired network.
