Just a follow up, I just got a new iMac set up and connecting to the macbook or the mac mini is still slow. It takes about 5 min before the shared folders show up in finder.

I have snow Leopard on both the macbook and mac mini. Screen sharing & sharing folders works, but, it takes SL forever to connect, several minutes sometimes. This has been the same case on other networks with SL, really, really slow connect times for screen sharing and NAS sharing. Other...

Sorry guys, running on 3 hours sleep really got to me and I apologize for being so grouchy. I put Snow Leopard on the other machine and get the same results. I figure on this macbook there is just something not letting me connect to the mini...after the install screen sharing stopped working...

I just installed Snow Leopard on the mini and all is well. Still though, for someone searching like I did on this issue regarding connecting a Snow Leopard OS/X machine to a Tiger machines shared folders is unresolved.

Dude, I'm not talking about SMB and Windows and I've been through all the threads at apple and every forum ... tireless google searches that come up with nothing. Forget the firewire drive ~ gone forgotten disconnected ~ forget the hardware, forget I even mentioned a firewire drive. The point...

Has nothing to do with the firewire drive or hardware ... forget that. I can set up a folder on the mini (like on the desktop or documents folder), set the permissions, etc, and still have the same issue. It's not a hardware problem, it comes down to Snow Leapord will connect to a Tiger...

Try port 26 too. I had a client on Embarq which was blocking port 25. If all else fails, you can always go with IMAP.

check the /etc/hosts file and make sure 127.0.0.1 and the subnet are not commented out with a # As a web developer, I don't use the built in mac web server. Instead, I prefer MAMP it has PHP, Apache, MySQL etc, all rolled up into one, plus you can keep your site(s) separated in different...

Your ISP may be blocking outgoing mail, aka mail relaying, if she is using an email account other than what was provided by her ISP. What can be strange about this, I have a client that had the same issue with Embarq, port 25 would work intermittently, then quit. So, I changed him over to port...

You will probably need to re-connect the printer using a usb cable and install the software. Once you do that you should be able to connect wirelessly. I have a brother laser printer and it requires initial setup via USB. One note, when Snow Leopard first came out my wireless printer would...

I have Snow Leopard (currently 10.6.1) running on my macbook and I have Tiger 10.4.11 running on a mac mini with a firewire drive attached mounted as DATA. On the mini, I set the permissions for read/write access and have personal file sharing turned on. When I use finder on Snow Leopard I...

I see this all the time on different mac's for the last 5 years. I wouldn't fret. Like the original poster stated it is a hit and miss and the data on the storage media will be fine. I typically skip the verify, re-insert the media, and run the install, open some photos etc. OS/X has always...

When reading message headers, in mail, you can easily press delete, then the next message will be hilighted. I just noticed that mail, on my machine, if you hilight a message then click on junk, the next message is not hilighted. Thus, you have to hilight a message, click junk, hilight a...

I created a .tcshrc file in my ~/user folder that creates an alias like so : alias fantom='cd /volumes/fantom/ ; clear; echo Current Directory $PWD ; echo ; echo ; bash backup.sh' (The above simply changes to my firewire drive and then uses bash to run backup.sh to zip up my data files.)...

Hi, I've been diggin around with this for a while to no avail, so I figure someone on the forums might have found a solution or have some recommendations. First, I'm considering purchasing a new sound system for my mac. ---- What I want to be able to do play all the music/sound from...
