its ok, problem solved, I was trying to use the public folder and not the shared one, now it is working fine.

Hi Phil, I don't suppose you are currently on line are you? I have managed to see the shared file on both the mac mini and on the mac book but it will not allow me access as is says I do not have sufficient access privileges? Peter

Phil I am so sorry but my daughter is currently at college and has her macbook with her so I am not able to follow the steps as you post them, Peter

Luigi I am sorry, perhaps I have not explained my self clearly enough. I wish to use the hard drive on the Mac Mini as the back up drive for Time Machine on the Macbook. There is no external drive attached. Peter

I was recently very fortunate in acquiring a Beomaster3000-2. It has been trapped in aloft for the past 17 years and was covered in dirt. This is the process I went through and the outcomes: 1. When Iplugged it in there was no sign of life at all. I removedthe wooden cover and peered into the back and was so pleased to find theoriginal wiring diagram

Considering the expense and the clutter of connecting my Avant to Apple TV I was considering the following option: "Apple iPod AV Connection Kit, with Dock and Remote" Please can anyone tell me if this is possible Many thanks Peter G
