These two machines have same compatibility as between you and your toxic X
I won't suggest you to connect back with your X. However, you can connect Mac and Windows over Wi-Fi to transfer files between them
First, let's go to the Windows computer and make sure both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network
Otherwise, it won't work. You have to connect both devices on the same Wi-Fi network
Then on your Windows PC, go to menu, then settings. Go to network and internet option, Wi-Fi and then connected Wi-Fi network
And here you have to select a network profile. Choose the private network profile
Otherwise you won't be able to share files from your PC. So it is recommended to select the private network only
And if you have selected any manual IP or DNS, then it will still work
But if you select automatic IP and DNS, then you won't face any problem
You won't get any errors. Now let's go back to Network and Internet option, Advanced Network Settings and then
Advance Sharing Settings. Expand the Private Network profile and make sure Network Discovery, File and Printer Sharing
is turned on. If these settings are turned off, you have to turn it on first
Now we need to create a shared folder or share an existing folder so that we can transfer
files between Mac and PC. Now I will create a new folder on the desktop but you can create it anywhere on any location
or you can share entire disk partition. So let's create a new folder and name it something
Mac shared whatever you like. Let's put some files into this new folder
I will just copy some files to this new folder. And now you have to share this folder on the network
Just select the folder and just select the foldericar. Right click on it, go to Properties and Sharing tab
Click on Advanced Sharing and check share this folder You can name the Share folder anything you want and then a maximum number of users You can select it to one two or three but by default it is 20
Now click on permissions. Here you can assign the permissions for the network user
By default read is selected. That means you can just copy from the shared folder
You cannot write anything on this folder or you can enable the full control
If you want to copy, paste and delete the files in that folder and choose it for the everyone
Now hit apply and okay. Apply and okay again. And click on Close
If you want you can share any other folders like your documents, videos, downloads or anything
In my case I create videos on this PC and edit on Mac
So I have to often share files from my videos folder to the Mac computer
I can do is I will just share the videos folder and I will access it on the Mac
I will go to this PC, LocalDisc C, Users, user account and then videos folder
Just right click on it, go to Properties, Sharing tab and then Advance Sharing, enable the
sharing option and change the permission to full control. It apply, okay and close all the dialog boxes
And you can do this for any folder or disk partition. Now let's go to search and search for CMD and open it as admin
Click on the yes option you will get on this screen. Now on the CMD you just have to type IP config
Type IP config and press Enter. You will get the IPV4 and IPV6 addresses for all the network adapter if they are connected
but we are just looking for the local Wi-Fi network adapter. Find the wireless line adapter Wi-Fi and look for the IPV4 address
So you just have to find the IPV4 address of your PC and note it down
And also you need to know the username and password of the Windows computer In this case ITEC Fever space PC is the username and I know my password
If there is no password on the Windows PC you have to create it first otherwise it won't work
Alright now let's go to the Mac computer and make sure it is connected to the same Wi-Fi network
Now open the finder and click on the Go option at the top
and click on Connect to Server. Now you have to type here SMB, column, double slash and the local IPV4 address of your Windows
PC which you noted in the last step. So provide that IPV4 address and then click on Connect
Now it will ask for the username and password. You have to provide the username of your Windows PC
the Mac computer. So just provide the username of your Windows PC
I will provide my username. If there is any space you have to enter that as well
And then password. Click on remember this password in my keychain so that you don't have to enter password every
time and then click on connect. Now it will ask you to select the shared folder and mount it on your Mac computer
I will use this one which I recently created Mac shared and these are other folders which are
shared on the network. So I will select Mac shared and click on OK
Now you will find that shared folder along with the Macintosh HD and other disk partition
on your Mac. Now you can easily access the shared folder on your Mac, copy and paste any files from
this folder to your Mac or from your Mac to this folder
Or if you want, you can directly share any files to your iPhone over the Airdrop as well
From the shared folder, you just have to click on Share and share it over the Airdrop on your
iPhone or any other Mac computer And the transfer speed depends on the local Wi network connection not the internet connection So it is quite fast over the local Wi network
You can also copy files from your Mac to shared folder and access it on the Windows PC
For example, I copied some files and paste it on the shared folder
And if I access that shared folder on PC, you can see that I got those files, which I have
I copied from the Mac. So you can easily transfer files from your Mac to PC as well
Now if you click on the mounted network location then you will find all the shared folder
on that computer. So you can access those shared folder from here as well or you can go to the network
and open the connected computer and access the files. So there are multiple ways to access your shared folder on your Mac computer
Now if you are disconnected by any chance or set down your computer and want to connect back
again then you just have to click on Go option and then connect to server and just click
on connect. It will pre-fill the IP address and once you connect you just have to mount the location and
then you can easily access the shared folders. One more thing you should know that this is a one-way connection to transfer files between your
Mac and PC. Like if you want to access the files from your PC on the Mac then you can easily
access using the shared folder. But if you want to transfer files from your Mac to PC
then you have to copy it on the shared folder first. However you can create two-way
connection to access any Mac files on your PC. We will mount the Mac drive on the PC
But that is for the next video. So this is how you can transfer files between your Mac and PC
PC over the Wi-Fi network. And that's all for this video guys
