Can't see files on MAC from File Manager on Passport

Don't know if this is truly a Link issue, but in File Manager on the Passport (both in 10.3.0 and 10.3.1.1581) I have the option of selecting either of my Mac's (both Yosemite, both on the same network) in the device menu. However no amount of waiting ever shows files on the computer.
This is such a great feature it would be great if it worked.
If I create a folder in the Passport on the Mac, I can see that. If I add files to it on the Passport or the Mac I can see them.
I have removed all the folders in Link and re-added them. I initially started with having my Home open, but also tried just Documents folder, or Music. Same result. The only difference is where the test folder is created on the Mac when I add a folder on the Passport.
Are there settings on the Mac to allow this?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Both Macs on Yosemite. Have not been successful at loading on old XP computer as it creates a VPN connection which will not connect to the Internet.
I did notice on the Mac that I now have a new admin user - access-bpf. Don't know what this is I did not add it and I am the administrator. I added it to the file sharing user list with full access, but no difference. So I removed it from the access list - no difference. So I then removed the account - no difference.

  • Can see Windows PCs from Mac, but can't see (and access) Mac from PCs

    Yesterday, I ran into a strange problem which I'm not able to figure out.
    I share an office with some engineers, who have their computer environment (server, network), all running Windows (XP and Vista on the PCs, Windows 2003 for the server).
    Within that environment, I have 2 PCs (both XP) and an iBook G4 (Leopard 10.5.4.). I have also a printer (Epson Laser), which is connected to the office network, and an Airport Extreme Base Station.
    Until last week, I could connect from my PCs to my iBook (wirelessly), and from the iBook I could connect to my PCs, the server, and via the server print on my printer (again, all wirelessly).
    Over the weekend, I took out the Airport Extreme Base Station (to help with an issue at home - see my thread over at Printing), and yesterday I brought it back to the office and installed it again.
    And since I re-installed the Base Station, this is the problem:
    1. from PCs, I can't see the iBook (can't attach a PC drive letter - eg. I:\), and therefore can't access it
    2. from the iBook, I can't print to my printer - furthermore, when I select the Printing preference and click "Add Printer", no printers whatsoever show up (the list stays blank), whereas before the engineers' printer (some Minolta Bizhub with Bonjour) would show up as well
    3. I can, however, access the Windows server from my iBook
    Any ideas what's going on? I tried to solve this, but gave up quickly (no way I can possibly figure this out), plus I have this issue at home (can't print wirelessly to a printer attached via USB to a Time Capsule - I can, however, print to the same printer if I attach it to the previously used Airport Express!) - 2 problems and mounting headaches!
    I am thinking about re-installing the whole system (take off all data, do a complete wipe and start afresh…), but don't like to spend a whole day doing this…
    Again, thanks for any advice!

    You only need one computer to configure the Base Station - and since you can easily do this from your PC, you really don't need to be able to do it from your Mac as well. I suggest you stop worrying about this, leave your Base Station running with the current firmware version, and use your PC if you ever need to make a configuration change.
    Note that NO Base Station software needs to be installed on the Mac, for the Mac to be able to connect wirelessly to the Base Station. If your Mac is currently unable to establish a wireless connection to the Base Station, you have a different problem - and one that won't be solved by installing the Airport Admin Utility or downgrading firmware on the Base Station. Incidentally - what type of wireless security are you using on the Base Station - WEP or WPA? A base station configured to use WPA security will only be accessible by a Mac running at least MacOS 10.3.

    You might want to make sure your credit card is listed in the billing information associated with your Apple ID (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918).
    Also, to change the From name that appears when you address emails on and iOS device, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your iCloud email account, tap you iCloud account at the top, tap Mail at the bottom, then enter the name you want to use in the Name field at the top.
    To change the From name on your Mac Mail, go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.  Then quit Mail on your Mac and re-open it.  Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

  • Can't see files that are backedup

    I have a G4 iMac that has both an internal (small) and external (large) drive that I use for data. I am using a time capsule to backup the whole system.
    When I run Time Machine it appears to backup both disks, the log file shows both drives having many GBs of data being transferred without any errors.
    However, when I go into the TM application, I can only see files that are on the internal drive. I can only see my external 'LaCie HFS' in the Now view, going back in time that drive is greyed out.
    If I use the finder when the TC is mounted, I can traverse into 'Backup.backupdb/iMac/2009-08-074700' and I can see the 'LaCie HFS' folder and in it are all my backed up files.
    I have looked through the FAQ and various postings but cannot find an answer.
    The closest thing that I can see as being a potential problem is that my old internal drive uses an Apple Partition Map while my new external drive uses a GUID Partition Table.
    Why would backupd created backups that Time Machine cannot see?

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    Try this: Open a Finder window and press ShiftCmdC (or select your computer name in the Finder Sidebar).
    Then +Enter Time Machine.+
    On the first Finder window in the "cascade," labelled Now, you'll see all the volumes currently attached to your Mac.
    Select the Finder window for any backup, and you'll see a folder for each drive/volume that was backed-up, including any that are no longer connected. Navigate from there to whatever you're looking for.

  • After upgrade can no longer connect to Mac from Windows

    I have a wireless network (Linksys) with 2 iMacs, Ubuntu Linux and Windows XP workstations. I have file sharing between the Windows and Mac computers. After upgrading I can no longer see the shared folders on the upgraded iMac from the Windows box. I cannot even ping the iMac by node name, but I can ping it by IP address so it is recognizable on the network. I cannot connect by IP address, however.
    I have file and printer sharing enabled on the Leopard iMac. What can I do to restore the former connection?

    Thank you! That partially solved the problem. I can now see the Leopard Mac and can open my user folder on it. However, the subfolders give an error saying they are not accessible - permission denied. I have gone through the folders and set all of them to Shared, but this did not make them accessible.

  • Can't see the other Mac on the network

    I have a iMac G5 and a MacBook Pro connected via wirelss at home. Sometimes I can't see the other Mac in the Network folder, however I can connect to the other Mac (even I can't see them in the network folder) by afp the IP address via Safari... I have enabled the "personal file sharing" option in both of the machine.
    Help please.
    Samuel

    Sam,
    I've had the same problems numerous times myself: the other Macs don't show in the network folder. Why? I'm not too sure myself, I've been given several possible explanations by the geniouses in San Francisco. However, the best trick to connect is via the Finder 'Go to' menu. The very last item should say something like "Connect to server..." -which is the same as the 'Command-K' combination of keys. That'll bring up a list of the last few servers on the network, and al you have to do is choose the one you want, and voilà!

  • How can I see my Pdf's from my PC on my Smartphone?

    How can I see my Pdf,s from my Pc on my Smartphone?

    If they're only on your PC, you can't.
    Post a copy into the cloud to share it across different devices. Adobe Reader on both desktop and mobile has an integrated cloud storage system precisely for this reason. It's very prominently advertised in both apps, you can't miss it.

  • How can i download office for mac from a disc to my macbook air?

    how can i download office for mac from a disc to my macbook air?

    You have four options that I know of.
    1) Use an external DVD drive that will work on the MBA. (Apple's external Superdrive for MBA)
    2) Use a remote disk connection, using another Mac with a DVD drive, and sharing the drive with the MBA.
    3) Download Office from Microsoft's website, and then use only the registration code that came with your DVD purchase to authorize the registration.
    4) Copy the contents of the Office DVD to a USB flash drive, using another computer. Then install from that flash drive.
    Maybe someone else has an idea, if none of the above will woek for you.

    I can't see the Reporting Workspace in Service Manager Console PLEASE HELP

    Hello,
    If you don't have an entry like "SQL Server Reporting Services (InstanceName)" in Windows Service Manager (Services.msc) then because SSRS service not installed on that machine. Install it, then you will see such an entry.
    Olaf Helper
    This is not an SQL issue it's a SC Service Manager issue. Reporting Services is installed and running on the SQL side. The problem is that as I am now aware I cannot get the Data Warehouse Server to register in the Service Manager consoles to connect that
    with the canned reports and turn on Reporting Workspace. Any thoughts?
