Apple Mac OS X 10.5 / 10.4

To connect from your Mac OS X instance please follow these steps.

First lets ensure that your client has a valid IP Address. This is the address used to communicate between your client computer and the iPod/iPhone;

  1. In the Finder
  2. Click Apple Logo
  3. Select System Preferences
  4. Click Network
  5. Select either AirPort or Ethernet, whichever has the Green indicator
  6. Check under Status it says Connected and has an IP Address listed.

Next we’ll need to check your IP Address on the iPhone/iPod, this will also be LookSee’s IP Address on you the device, so please follow these steps;

  1. On the iPhone/iPod
  2. Tap Settings
  3. Tap Wi-Fi
  4. Tap the (>) on you Network Name
  5. Note down the IP Address, this is the Address you need to use

Now lets go ahead and confirm that LookSee can see this IP Address;

  1. Open LookSee
  2. Tap Settings
  3. Tap Sharing. This will turn on Sharing (WebDAV) On for you. As an example you will also received a message in the Settings page, “Please connect to the following address: http://10.1.1.103:8080“
  4. Please note down this address, including the http:// and the :8080 at the end. Please note this down, it’s important!

To upload files to the device from Mac OS X the simplest method is as follows;

  1. In Finder
  2. Click Go
  3. Select Connect to Server
  4. In the Server Address, type the address from the previous steps, ie http://10.1.1.103:8080. Ensure that the http:// and the :8080 are in the address.
  5. Click Connect

In the future if you want to connect to your iPod/iPhone again all you need to do is the follow the above procedure.

On the iPod/iPhone

  1. Open LookSee
  2. Tap Sharing to enable Sharing.

To speed the process up you can add the address to your Favourite Servers by selecting the + sign in the Connect to Server window.

Hopefully you’re still awake after all these steps. Once you have it all setup then the rest is just a breeze to use.

I’ve tried to test all scenarios when connecting to LookSee but there are just certain environments which are impossible to simulate or get up and running. So apologies in advance.
