Can no longer see shared printers on my network

My son has a MacBook Air running Mountain Lion. I have an iMac and a Mac Mini on our home network. When my son got his laptop at Christmas time, he could see all the other macs in his finder. He could also connect to both of them. On the Mini, I have a laser printer that he used to be able to print to. Recently he can no longer print to the printer and can't connect to the other macs. The show up in Finder, but when you click on them it says "Connnecting" but never connects. Eventually it gives up and the other computes no longer show up in Finder. When I try to add a printer, no printers show up.
Any ideas? I am running Snow Leopard on the wired computers. This was working. Nothing has really changed. Is there a way to try using an IP address to connect to the printer? I can't figure out why this is no longer working.
Thanks

Since upgrading to Lion i can no longer see other computers in my network and vice versa. What has gone on?

As the title suggests! I can no longer see any of the computers in my network, Mac or otherwise.
I have checked sharing permissions on all required computers and all seems to be good and have disabled firewalls.
I notice a few people have had similar problems with screen sharing but I am not even seeing another station to pottentialy share a screen with!

Can no longer see shared printer

Our home office setup consists of my MPB (now running 10.5.8), a G5 iMac running 10.3, and a G4 iMac running 10.2. The printer (HP DeskJet 970Cse) is direct-connected to the G4 via USB, and is shared.
After upgrading the MBP to 10.5, it can no longer locate that shared printer. Any suggestions?

Can no longer see shared iPhoto Library

My husband and I have our iPhoto preferences set to share our iPhoto libraries with each other, which has worked well in the past. Suddenly, however, neither of us can see the other's library in our list of albums on the left hand side of the screen as we used to. Any ideas about what might have caused this?

Both my Macbooks can no longer see my iMac on the network

No clue what changed or what happened. I had it set up fine and up until the last day or so, my Imac was showing up in the Finder shared section on both of my Macbooks and I was doing backups via Airport from the Macbooks to the external drive connected to my iMac. Now the whole thing is down. No shared section on either of the Macbooks and the Time Machine backups fail because it can't find my external drive.
In my file sharing preferences on the iMac, I have my LaCie external drive and my public folder listed as shared folders, and I have my account, the user accounts from both Macbooks, Users, Administrators and Everyone selected under users with read and write access.
I have no idea what went wrong and would sure appreciate any advice on this. Thanks Much.

This is just a hint. Have you recently rename your Computer Name? I have had a problem to see PC computers on my local intranet. I got no problem to connect to all PCs thru IP address but they were not visible on my mac mini or iBook under Shared. When I renamed my Computer Name back to one which I've had before everything come back to normal. (I've had renamed name of my mac mini which I used to configure my AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express base stations. My guess, network configuration in Leopard is very sensitive to computer which you using in the first place to configure your local network) This is just a guess,see if it will help you. Good luck!

IMac Can No Longer See MBP for File Sharing

Hello all,
I have had my iMac and MBP set up for ages to see one another and share files. Worked like a charm. Now, all of a sudden, the iMac can no longer see the MBP - but - the MBP CAN see the iMac and connect. Odd??
To my knowledge, nothing has been changed on my end. File Sharing is on. Firewall is off. Both units have the latest updates from Apple and the AEBS has the latest firmware and is working pefectly.
What can I do to troubleshoot this?
Thanks,
Stu

Thanks for the help!
Well, when I rebooted the MBP, it magically appeared on the iMac..so I thought all was well. However, I am now suspicious of the iMac as the culprit.
For example, I have a USB Disk connected to the AEBS - and the iMac is connected to it right now, showing the ddisk icon on the desktop. I can browse the contents.
However, when clicking on Network in the Finder, the AEBS does not appear at all! Even though I am connected to the disk. Why would this be?
I am not against trying your idea - but this new information might point us in another direction?

Imac and Macbook pro can no longer see one another

I'm not sure why, but all since I upgraded to Yosemite, I can no longer see my iMac on my Macbook Pro and vice versa. I could always see the computer that I needed to connect to in finder, or I could connect with my iCloud password. As of today, I can no longer access my iMac from my Macbook Pro and that's a problem. If someone could provide directions (dumbed down version) explaining how to connect the computers from scratch, I would greatly appreciate it. I am fine with setting it up again but I can't recall how I did it. Thanks so much. I did upgrade both my iMac and MacBook pro to Yosemite over the weekend.

After update to iPad I can no longer see how I can easily transfer from Auria to PC

After iPad was updated I can no longer see how I can see and work with my Apps in Itunes and I need to do that.
I need to be able to upload files to Goodreader and right now I need to download a file recorded in Auria.
Previously I could easily find my file but now I cannot get access to my iPad/apps
Any suggestions?

Regarding device visibility in iTunes try Andrei Cerbu's post here, JF Fourie's post here, or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update.
Once the device shows in iTunes you should be able to access the file sharing area from the apps tab of the device when connected.
You may find the apps in question are able to transfer files into Dropbox which might provide an alternate transfer mechanism.

What content are you wanting to copy of the iPad ? You should be able to copy off anything that you've purchased from Apple (films, music, ibooks, apps etc) by connecting the iPad to your computer's iTunes and doing File > Transfer Purchases. If you want to copy off music copied from your own CDs or purchased from other sites then you will need to find a program for your computer that can copy them off – iTunes won't copy them off.
For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit or saved from emails/websites then you should be able to copy them off via the Windows camera wizard.
For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
Content in third-party apps (documents and files etc) then how you copy that content off will depend upon what the apps that they are in support e.g.either via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

Can no longer see Windows PC in Finder

Ok, we have 3 macs and (1) PC on a network. We connect to the printer via the PC. Everything has been smooth up to 2 days ago. We can no longer see the PC in finder, in turn we can no longer access the shared printer. We have made no configuration changes. However, Security Update 2007-09 was installed on 1/15. This is the day we could no longer print to the PC. Any ideas or can I uninstall the update. Thanks

Tom,
you have accidentally posted in the iPhone forum. You might want to try re-posting in the MacBook forum.

HT1338 After recent update I can no longer see some my friends in my "find my friends" app?

Since I updated my iPhone 4 I can no longer see some my friends on the "find my friends" app. I used to be able to follow my husband and son but now it just says "location not available". It's strange because they can still see me and follow me?

ITunes + Vista = my computer can no longer see my DVDrw drive...

I just downloaded iTunes 7.6.2.9 onto my Dell Inspiron E1705 - and when I restart my computer, the computer can no longer see my Optical drive (DVDrw). I contacted Dell support, and they changed something in the regedit limits or something(I'm not a techy lol), and my optical drive was back.
But the next day when I opened iTunes I got a message that says:
"Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
So I reinstalled iTunes.
I restarted my computer, and it could no longer see my optical drive AGAIN. My DVDrw drive gets an error that says "This device cannot start (Code 10)." When I check for solutions it says "Could not load driver software."
I go back to Dell support and tell them my optical drive isn't working. They do the exact same thing to fix it (deleting some limit with regedit) and it works. I open iTunes, and I get the iTunes Warning (Setup Assistant Error).
I asked the Dell tech what the deal was, and he said iTunes isn't compatible at all with Vista.
But according to Mac's website it is...
Anyone know what's going on?!?!

I am having the exact same behavior as xhollysue!
It goes like this:
1. Install ITunes, lose optical disk drives hardware (they don't even show up in Windows Explorer).
2. Use RegEdit to disable Upper Filters at HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE1 0318}, optical drive hardware re-appears.
3. iTunes requires a re-install to permit CD burning, and your back to square one.
I got the above fix NOT from a Dell technician, but, instead, from a Microsoft technician, which cost me $70.
I would strongly urge Apple to research this issue and come up with a more reasonable workaround since (1) the iPhone is being adopted by many traditional MS users and the use of iTunes is an integral part of the iPhone technology architecture; (2) iPhone 3G is just now shipping and will bring even more into the Apple camp; and (3) iTunes is clearly a better media player.
Come on Apple. Let's get some enthusiam and take advantage of this opportunity!

After port forward, airport utility can no longer see my time capsule

I tried to forward public port 1025 to private port 80 on a raspberry pi using airport utility. But after I did that, the airport utility can no longer see my time capsule. Wifi still works correctly. Are there any conflicts about port 1025? How to fix that other than resetting the time capsule?
Thanks,
Michael

It doesn't sound like a port that is used.
From the standard google search.. nope.
Reboot the whole network..
No luck tell me what OS version you are running the utility on and what model and firmware TC???
Note with Yosemite, anything can and will happen.

Can No Longer See User Folder in Intrnl Drive after transferring to Ext Drv

I'm trying very hard not to freak out right now, but I can no longer see my User Folder/Home in the Finder Bar after dragging and dropping it into the my newly formatted Seagate External Drive. I have OS 10.4.11 and am trying to install Snow Leopard, but before I do I wanted to back-up my hard drive. So I plugged in the Seagate, formated it for Macs, and then dragged and dropped he User Folder into the Seagate and now it is gone!
Would greatly appreciate advice on how to find the User Folder so I can return it to the Internal Drive AND help on how to properly copy it to the Seagate External Drive as I have been unsuccessful.
Many thanks!

Not really. I previously tried that already. I added Chinese (Taiwan) and moved up pre-existing English as the phone language. Also set navigation voice in Here Drive+ to Chinese. Result:
1. Street names still shows in English (it goes with phone language obviously), like "Da Xing Rd." However, some landmarks will show in both languages.
2. Navigation voice is in Chinese but all the street names are announced in English, so e.g. "Da Xing Rd." is announced as "Da-Sing-R-D". ("St." will be announced as "S-T"...) (This is the same as in WP8)
Thank you.
