And so this afternoon i went out and got a new computer - a pretty white macbook - becuase my pc is dying a slow and painful death.
i really like this new computer, but all of my pictures, documents and music are still on my PC and i'd like to figure out how to connect them and bring files back and forth.
I spent all evening trying to figure it out, and visited a million websites trying to figure it out, and now that its almost 11 and i STILL can't do it, I thought i'd post here and see if anyone can help me.
i connected them with an ethernet cable, selected the PC to "share" certain items, and then clickd on "Macintosh HD" on the mac desktop and then Network and whenever i click on "Sam" (name of PC) it says something about the alias not being correct. I dont' know what this means and I can't figure out how to make it work.
Also, if i hit "go to server" and then type in the PC IP address it just searches for the server for awhile and doesnt' budge.
am i missing something really obvious?
If you can help id really REALLY appreciate it.
Thanks
