I have tried to connect my PowerBook G4, OS X version 10.4.11 (Tiger) to my wife’s Mac Book (Intel) OS X version 10.6.8 with an Ethnet cable. I go to Network and change Location to Automatic and Show to Built-in Ethernet, I then open Sharing preferences on both computers and turn on Personal File Sharing. On the PowerBook I realize it does not have a Computer Name. Click the Lock logo to add a name. Authenticate window opens and I enter my Name and Password (definitely correct), but I keep getting message: “You must type an administrator’s name and password to make changes to System Preferences. Please try again.” Try several times, with no luck. Disconnect Ethnet connection and try again, no different. Shut Down and Restart Computer and still will not verify.
Why would Administrator’s Window stop excepting correct Name and Password?
Would very much appreciate any help.
