OS X :: Can't Get It To Find Shared Folders On Macs

Jul 16, 2009

I have a new PC running Windows 7 RC, but I can't get it to find the shared folders on my Macs, nor can my Macs see the shared folders on the PC. Any ideas how to get at least one way working (preferably so that the Macs can see the PC).I'm running 10.5.7, and if I "Connect to Server" and dial in smb:// and the PCs IP address, I get a login window, but it won't let me log in. I have no password on the PC.

Also, I followed the advice in another post here, http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=635271), but it didn't make any difference.

OS X :: Syncing Multiple Folders Over 2 Macs Wirelessly?

Jul 9, 2009

im kinda anal about backing **** up. that said...

im getting a MBP for school blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda

i need a program that will allow me to automatically sync files between both my macs. (preferably wirelessly)

id like the notes i take in class on the mbp to sync with the imac when i get home. Id like my picture folders, design work folders, and documents folders to be in sync on both computers whenever im home.

if i add new pictures on the mbp, take new notes, or work on a .psd file.

I want them available on the imac without me having to manually bring them over and vice versa.

i just need a way for the folders to sync whenever im home.

that way when i do a back up on my imac, it also has a back up of the folders on the mbp.

Applications :: Account Setup On Two Macs - Both Display Different Folders

Aug 13, 2010

I am running SL and Mail 4.3 connecting to GMail (IMAP). I have an iMac and Macbook. Accounts on both are set up the same (as far as I can see) but both display different folders under GMail.

iMac has:
All mail
Bin
Drafts
Sent Mail
Spam
Starred

Macbook has:
All mail
Spam
Starred

Id like to get it like the macbook setup where it uses the mac sent icon rather than displaying the sent mail folder and likewise with the trash icon and the bin folder...

OS X V10.5 Leopard :: Files Sometimes Missing From Folders After Copying Between Macs?

Feb 15, 2012

We have a 2009 intel iMac here, running Leopard (10.5.8). We receive files from customers via browser-based FTP or email on this mac, and the boss puts these files in appropriately-named folders, and copies those folders into the appropriate place on our file server – a G5 (1.8Gz single processor 2.5Gb RAM) also running Leopard 10.5.8. All macs here are connected via ethernet using TCP/IP (of course) 

However, every now and then, there are files missing from these folders. For example one folder (that had 100 images or so) had 4 files missing after copying to the file server, even though the folder was dragged across wholesale, not the contents. All filename conventions are standardised before being sent to us, and do not use any illegal characters that may cause a problem between differing OSs or processor platforms. 

This issue may not be limited to these two macs, but there may not enough network traffic between other macs to show this issue on other machines – it only seems to occur when copying across large batches of files, and does not happen all the time. There is no one thing that sticks out that links the missing files – i.e. filenames/filetype, etc. It seems completely random. 

I thought that TCP/IP was supposed to check data packets to ensure that all data was sent properly, but no errors are received on either side. 

Is there some sort of maintenance (other than repairing permissions, which is done on a weekly basis on the fileserver) that I can run

OS X :: Using Microsoft Word For Macs - How To Delete A Text Box In A Word Document

Aug 24, 2009

I have a Mac OS X version 10.5.7 i am working on Word 2008 for Mac, version 12.0.1 (080305).

My problem, i created one text box in a document, somehow 2 more appeared. I made the mistake of thinking that to delete the extra text boxes, i simply highlight them and delete them. Silly stupid me, nothing that simple exists and i have wasted an hour trying to figure it out. The help button does squat, barely gives you any info on a text box much less trying to delete it. Does anyone know how to delete a text box in a word document?

MacBook Pro :: Embed An Image With A Link Or A Microsoft Word Document With A Hyperlink Built Within The Document?

Feb 2, 2012

how to embed an image with a link, or embed a Microsoft Word document with a hyperlink built within the document -- not as an attachment into my email -- but where it shows as the email content when opened! Does ANYONE know the secret? Can it be done, or not? My PC clients do it all the time easily. Then I want to be able to send the embedded image/document (not as an attachment, but visable within the email when opened) to many email contacts at once, BUT the individuals receiving them DO NOT SEE the other email contacts.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Sync Keychain On Multiple Macs?

May 21, 2012

There are a lot of forums on this subject, but are specifically about Apple removing Keychain sync with iCloud. I cannot find any solution as to how to do it now they removed this option.  

I have installed Keychain2Go but it just synced right away to "somewhere". I guess it's their servers. So I am concerned about that as I don't know this company.  

So is Keychain2Go the only solution to sync Keychains now? I cannot find any other solution.

Mac OS X offers a method by which you can "join" an Active Directory server by going through System Preferences --> Users and Groups --> Login Options --> Network Account Server. Is this the same as making a windows pc join a microsoft domain?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: DVDs Recorded On Earlier Macs Will Not Play

May 1, 2012

I have been using Macs since 1992, upgrading to new operating systems as they came out. Now have Lion 10.7.3.I have recorded video/movie clips mostly from online sources. I have never had problems playing these back until now in all my previous Macs. Now some will play, others when I click the play button come up with the message "supported disc not available". Do I have to buy an old Mac computer with earlier OSX operating systems to play these again? How can I transfer the content to a form that Lion will recognize if they will not open.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Backing Up Two Macs To One Directly Attached USB Drive?

Jun 28, 2012

I have an iMac with a directly attached USB drive and a Mac PowerBook attached via WIFI to the same network.  I would like to have both devices back up to the shared drive via Time Machine.  To date I have been able to get this to work, in a limited fashion.  As soon as the iMac goes to sleep the PowerBook cannot see the drive and the backup fails.  I would think that since I have selected the power option on the iMac to wake up for network access that this should work.  This sounds like a simple requirement, I tryed to attach the USB drive to my Airport Extreme and we all know that that does not work.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Fastest Way To Transfer Files Between Remote Macs?

My brother and I share folders and various file types through ichat at the moment, but it's so slow, we are both on pretty fast networks (35/35MB and 50/8MB) I can mount a folder of his on my mac (we are in seperate towns) by putting our apple ID's into the apple extreme section (I think back to my mac) and we can share files that way, but I am confused as to why the transfer rates are so slow, we get at best 32KBs. Any recommendations for a faster file transfer method between remote macs.

OS X Mountain Lion :: Backing Up Single External HD Using 2 Macs

I recently bought another Mac_2. If I use time machine on Mac_2 to backup the external HD, will it create a separate backup on the time capsule. If so, is there a way I can use the same external HD backup on the time capsule and use either of the Macs to backup the HD.
