Long story short is that Apple uses different networking protocols than a PC does. While Macs are capable of talking to PCs and PC peripherals, they must be explicitly told to do so; basically you have to turn the “translators” on manually.
I’m going to send you a link so you can manually set it up on your apple, it’s fairly easy and it shouldn’t take you to long, hope it help’s you out if not message me with any issues and i’ll do my best to walk you threw them.
