Apple Powerbook network (ignorance at work)
I have two G4 Powerbook (MacBook) computers and have set up a network between the two. Both computers recognize the other but I'm wondering how I access files on the other computer from the one I am working on. Airport's recognize each other.
What do I go to in the drop down menus in order to access the files on the other computer? May be straightforward to some but it's greek to me, any help would be appreciated. One OS X is Leopard and the other is Jaguar but Apple says as long as it's OS X it should network. |

Open Finder - if they are on the same network, then you should be able to see the name of the other computer on the list of shared drives in the left column. Click on the name, and you should see contents of the shared folder on that Mac. So anything you want shared, move to the Shared folder (I think that what its called, at work now using PC).

While in Finder hit CMD K or go to Menu>GO>Connect to server.
Stupid question, you did enable file sharing? Gotta ask.

Got it sharing, thanks very much for the guidance. This will solve a lot of issues for me. Now all I have to do is figure out if I can share all the tunes on the old G4 to the new Mac Pro and still marry the ipod to the new one w/o losing all stored music.
Hope the rest of the day goes as well. Regards, I also learned a long time ago, there is no such thing as a stupid question. |
