file sharing

I'm trying to transfer my Mac iTunes library to a windows machine. The easiest way I can figure to transfer the information is to drag it on to the server at my office. Unfortunately, the server isn't recognizing my Mac information. The file names are too long, etc. How can I re-format the data...

Don't get me wrong I love Tiger's features but it's also driving me crazy with K. Panics and such and with every panic comes another prloblem, the new one is: At the "Sharing" prefpane beneath the "start" button there's this message WTH? I mean, I've been using Windows File Sharing since...

Hi, I'm setting up an OS X (10.3) server for file sharing. I'll use AFP and SMB for my internal network clients. I also want to enable offsite users access to these same shares via WebDAV, so that they can mount them on their desktops and read / write / drag as if they are local drives...

I have 2 macs networked together. When the G5 restarts it gets hung up trying to log on to the G3. It will start up if the G3 is shut down. If I start up the G5 and then the G3 the G5 can log onto the G3, but the G3 cannot log onto the G5...spinning rainbow parasols. Cannot start up the...

I'm trying to set up my winxp computer and my new powerbook g4 so they can share files at my home. I'm pretty much aware of all the steps I have to do in order for this to work. I was able to connect the winxp computer at work to the macs there, but they are running panther, and not tiger...

Trying to get a previously networked G5 (OSX 10.3.9) to join a network but can't get " File sharing" to remain ticked. Applys but then unticks itself!!!

Greetings to all, As I will be leaving home for quite a period (without my G4 Powerbook 10.3.8), I would like to be able to connect so as to 'peep' and share files with my powerbook remotely when I am away. To my understanding, I would need to enable 'Personal File Sharing' in the...

I am trying to download MP3s using eMusic's Download Manager software. Each file will complete but then list "ERROR" as its status. I know that there is an issue with the software - when it is installed the folder it creates on the desktop to download the MP3s to is read only. In OS X you...

I'd like to set up some sort of file sharing facility to keep my notes and classwork, among other things, synced between my iBook and G5 workstation. Optimally, I would like to have the files served on my Linux server to make use of its SCSI RAID Array and Tape Backups. I would also like to keep...

Simple question I'm sure. I know absolutely NOTHING about networking in the slightest. Here's some verbage for ya: Here's a bowl, it's pretty, it's clear, yet there's nothing in it. The total volume taken up in the bowl represents in its entirety the collective knowledge I have on networking...

Not sure if this is really the right forum, but please bear with me. I'm a complete noob to Mac OSX. I'm running 10.3 Server. I've set up a few shared folders, but I want Windows to prompt me for a user name and password when I try to access them. Is this done from the mac end of things or...

I'm @ work and want to grab a bunch of file from my Mac @ home... I leave Personal File Sharing on when I know I'll need to do this, but currently it's off. I have SSH enabled on my machine at home, and so I'm wondering if there is a command-line way of toggling this On/Off... or is the Pref...

I have a G4 Powerbook running Panther and a PC running XP service pack one. My PC is on a wired network which is connected to the internet and I have a wireless card as well. Therefore two networks. I have an Airport Express base station plugged in via ethernet. My problem is that my mac...

Hi All, I have recently upgraded one of our 'file servers' form OS 9 to OS X. First I backed up all the files to a coule of firewire dirves, upgraded, and then copied all the files back to the various shares after i finished. I have used sharepoints 3.3 to create the shares which is fine...

So I'm a pretty experienced computer user -- have used Macs since '94 or so and have experience with pretty much every MacOS since 7.6. Around 2000 I switched to Windows (for 3D animation/Maya reasons -- sadly the mac wasn't up to that sorta work until the G5 came out) and just recently came...

I use iChat to talk to my friends who use AIM on their pc's. My problem is this, when I try to send them a file, I always get an errror that it could send the file. But for some reason when my friends send me files or pictures, I can always receive them and open them. So why can I receive...

Can anyone help a hopeless amateur in the UK? I'm trying to share files between my G3 desktop (operating on 9.1) and my ibook (operating on 9.2). I've connected the 2 via a crossover cable using the ethernet ports and I've turned on appletalk and file sharing on both, but with no success. Is...
