File sharing problems with T500 and T410 and a desktop all running XP Pro SP3

Others have had similar problems with what appears to be an overriding of Windows file sharing by Access Connections.
My three computers, printers and internet modem are networked and working fine both wired and wirelessly except that while the desktop computer in network places can "see" shared folders on the Thinkpads, access to them is denied. Access to desktop shared folders from the Thinkpads works fine.
All the usual sharing settings have been checked and verified by Microsoft support; it does not so far have a solution.
Could this issue please be addressed more thoroughly and/or suitable documentation referenced? I have read the blurb about Access Connections but can't make a lot of sense of it.
Thanks

File sharing problems with my Media Player, an A C Ryan

I have a media player, an A C Ryan, hooked up to my wifi at home and it normally accesses all my hard disks that is plugged and shared on my iMac. I had no problems when the iMac was on Snow Leopard. Under Network/Workgroup in the AC Ryan's menu, I can see and access all the files on the hard disks.
The moment I upgraded to Lion, all such access was lost. The AC Ryan cannot connect to the hard disks any more via the wifi network. it's as though file sharing has stopped completely. I checked the file sharing settings on the iMac and nothing has changed i.e. the disks were shared as usual. After struggling with many possible solutions and failing (I checked out a lot of forums), I reintalled Snow Leopard and the problems were immediately solved.
Is there something seriously wrong with Lion's file-sharing? Has this been fixed in 10.7.2? My friend who has a similar setup (his media player is the WD Live) has exactly the same file sharing problem with Lion.
I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

I believe that NTFS-3G has issues with Lion.
I use Paragon NTFS and have had no issues at all. I am pretty sure that NTFS-3G will get updated, but you need to check their site to find out when.

I had been having a similar problem on Lion with Safari pdf files despite downloading the latest Adobe Reader XI.
I would constantly get the same messages - There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. And I would get a blank page when I tried to print the pdf if I tried printing from the Safari web page using File - Print from the top toolbar on my laptop.
Then I came across the grey Safari lozenge with action icons.
This allowed me, without downloading the pdf, to print the pdf file direct from the Safari page by using the Print icon on the grey lozenge that appears centrally three quarters down the screen.
Then I discovered that if I save the pdf using the Save icon from this same grey lozenge on the Safari page I can open and print this pdf version from my desktop.
I've tested it with a couple of different pdf files and these methods work using the grey lozenge icons but the same pdfs files don't work using File - Save As on the Tool Bar.

File sharing problems with 10.5.7...

I have some files shared out on the pc's and i can view them on the other pc's in the house, so file sharing is working. however the files, nor the network show up in finder on the macbook pro. not sure why. When I was at the apple store the other day, their files showed up. Also the shared itunes libraries all work in itunes.

Originating File Sharing Mini with Leopard G3 Beige and Vice Verse.

I guess a sub-heading of this would be connecting to the newest Mac from an older one.
Here is a problem: I can set up the G3 Beige (running Jaguar) as a file sharing server and very easily connect to it from the a Mac Mini by using top menu Go>Connect to server.
Where i run into what seems to be impossible is to do the same thing from the G3. Nothing seems to establish a connection. It is always rejected with a no connection error message.
Both machines are wirelessly connecting through a router. The mini with internal airport and the G3 beige using an external D-link bridge. Both work fine accessing the internet.
Main reason i wanted to do this is that my Shared Printer is on the Mini and i wanted to print something from the Beige to it.
Can anybody help, or am i attempting the impossible.

DEAR Grant Bennet-Adler: Thank you for your last reply. I'm not sure exactly what i did but I was able to connect. To answer your questions:
IP Addresses are similar. One is ...101 and the other is ...102.
My router uses DHCP.
What seemed to fix the problem was going to security>firewall on the MINI and checking
o Allow all incoming messages.
Not sure what ODS Agent.app is but it is highlighted as allow incoming vs blocked.
Both computers "allow personal file sharing"
On the G3 i was able to connect after a bit of trial and error: On the G3, when i "Connect to Server" i am presented with three choices of servers, one of which is the G3 itself--I wish the system wouldn't remember irrelevance.
One of the choices is OK and when i checkit i get the ID and Password Dialog--again for ID i am presented with the MINI's name and not my user (Admin) name.
Change that, type in the password and i am given a list of drives on the folder. That includes any opened from a .img.
After i open one i then see it on my desktop and can get into it.
One slight problem: Once into one, i can;t go back to "go to server" to open more. I get timeouts, error messages and other stuff. I have to start over. That also appears to be to include disconnecting the connection to the G3 server that gets set up on the MINI.
Regards:
p.s I hven't gotten into Shared Printer although i saw it did show up in the Firewall dialog.I think i have the Canon MP470 Software on the G3 as well as the Mini but i will have to check on it.
p.p.s. Next thing is to try X PostFacto on the G3 again to try to install a later OS; but this time not making the mistakes that totally messed it up the last time, last year, that i tried it.

Home sharing problem with music between iTunes and Apple TV

iTunes 10.5.2.11
Apple TV2 running 4.4.4 (3330)
Windows 7 pc
WI FI connection
Apple TV is losing its connection to iTunes on my windows 7 pc after streaming EXACTLY TWO SONGS. I've never had this problem until the last update of iTunes to 10.5.2.11 and Apple TV 4.4.4. Home sharing is on in both iTunes and apple TV. I launch my computer from apple TV and open the music folders, select an album/playlist or even shuffle (doesn't matter what I do). Apple TV will play two songs and then lose its home sharing connection to my iTunes songs. TheBuffering icon continues to spin as it looks for the next song on the playlist, but the \song never starts playing. If I sue the apple TV remote to return to the main menu, it is apparent that my computer is no longer visible to apple tv.
The only temporary "fix" (which again only works for EXACTLY TWO SONGS) is to re-start home sharing on my pc or apple tv. Obviously, you can't listen to music by continuously turning on/off home sharing on eiter device. Doesn't matter which device I choose to restart home Sharing.
I've spent considerable time troubleshooting this issue. It is NOT a router issue, nor is it a signal quality issue. I'm able to stream feature-length movies from iTunes to apple TV without issue. It's only music files. The cynic in me thinks its apple wanting me to spend $25 to put my music in its iCloud service.
Other troubleshooting that I've tried. None successful.
Uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes.
Tried a fresh install of iTunes on a brand new windows 7 maching
Restored my apple TV.
disconnected / re-connected outlook.

bump to Apple. Many people are having this issue and no fix yet!

File sharing problems between Vista 64 bit and iMac

I have a week-old iMac and am trying to completely network it with my wife's new Windows Vista 64 bit Dell Studio laptop. Everything seems to be working correctly with the exception of not being able to directly log into the iMac from the laptop even though the iMac is visible in the Windows Vista Network screen. File sharing is turned on with all user accounts active. Both computers are visible on the network. The Vista laptop has Windows firewall turned off and McAfee Security Center firewall turned on.
Help and suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks!

File sharing problem with a PC . locked Folder Icons and funny things

Help was running Tiger fine then upgraded to leopard now my Macbook pro wont shut down properly unless i disconnect all the external USB devices that are attached.
I also used to be able to write to my shared folder on my Windows PC, this comes up on my mac Book pro now with a locked disk icon on it and i cant save to it. the folders inside it also start changing there icon appearance at will. and some times when i try to save a file to it it keeps telling me the file name is too long even if i change it to only one or two characters .
would not mind too much but this is my business thats being effected by this . I have tried it on 2 Imac
Dual core flat panel machine's which still run in tiger and everything is fine with both of these so i know its Leopard that has caused these faults. anyone with any help please let me know .
ian

*Same problem* here: MacBook on Tiger was fine, after installing Leo, unable to write on shared pc-folders (lock-icon).
There are 2 work-arounds I found:
1. uncheck the "protected" box in the info-panel (Mac) of a locked folder,
2. if the pc-folder had a custom icon, resetting to standard will unlock the write protection as well. In both cases, the folders on the pc will change their icons... I have to agree that this is a Leopard issue.
As I use the Mac for work and often have to exchange docs from and to pc's this "bug" is annoying me.

File sharing problem with EG005W

Hello,
I'm having problems recognizing shared drives when using the EG005W switch on my Linksys network.
Here's my configuration:
ADSL --> SpeedStream 4200 modem --> LinksysWRT54G Wireless Router --> EG005W Gigabit Switch
Computer A = XP with EG1032 gigabit adapter
Computer B = XP with EG1032 gigabit adapter
Computer C = Vista with EG1032 gigabit adapter
Computer D = XP with wireless WMP54G adapter
When A, B, and C are wired to the WRT54G router and everything is powered up, they are happy and all shared folders are visible in the network and internet access is ok.
When A, B, and C are wired to the EG005W switch and everything is powered up, B and C can share folders but none of the other computers are visible in the network (receive the message "MShome not accessible...". However access to the internet is available on all computers.
When A, B, and C are wired to the WRT54G router and everything is powered up, then the A, B, and C are pulled out of WRT54G and plugged into EG005W they are happy and all shared folders are visible in the network and internet access is ok.
I'd like to keep A, B, and C plugged into the switch and not have to always move things around. Any ideas?

weird problem you got there. have you tried pinging or mapping the A or D instead when they did not appear on the network places? imo, the switch shouldn't be causing any problem here since it is just a pass-through device.

File sharing problems and horror story (nearly)

I use Leopard on a MacBook Pro, a MacBook and a iMac G4 800 MHz (unsupported model).
I have on the iMac and the MacBook Pro many users (the same ont he two machines) and I always use Fast User Switching.
I have had very few problems with Leopard until now; I like it even if there are some glitches or some new features which are not my cup of tea (hierarchical menus missing from the dock, stacks useless when there are many items, FireWall impossibilities (?) to open specific ports, Back to my Mac working on a Lan but not from outside until now, problems with a few apps (Parallels networking erratic), ...
Now about File Sharing.
Let say my main account is user1 (Administrator), and I have another user2 also administrator, plus user3, user4 standard users.
On the iMac I activate File Sharing.
On the MacBookPro, as user1, if I connect to the iMac Server (using afp://IPaddress_of_theiMac/) I do NOT get the dialog
"Enter your user name and password to access file server YYY
Connect to server as Guest or as Registered User"
but I directly get the dialog
"Select the volumes you want to mount on YYY"
From this, if I select user1 it mounts with full read/write permissions which is normal. It appears that I am connected with my Apple account user1&mac.com (same as mentionned in the Account panel of System Preferences).
On the other hand, if I try to connect to the user2 account, I only get limited access although in the File Sharing Preferences, user1/iMac is mentionned with full Read/Write preferences for the Home Folder of user2.
What is very surprising is that if I log on the MacBook Pro as user2, or user 3 or user4, then connect to the iMac, I first get the dialog to enter a user name and a password. This gives me access with the correct full permissions on user1/iMac or user2/iMac using the corresponding user name/password pair; this is the usual behaviour which is missing when trying to connect from user1/MacBook Pro.
Now for the Horror Story!
Trying to understand what was going on with the permissions of the user2/iMac account, I logged in to the iMac as user1, went to the Users folder and from there had a look on the informations about user2 home folder. In the lower part of the pannel, Sharing & Permissions says "You have no access" (which is normal) and this is followed by a table where users and permissions are listed. It seems user1 has Read and Write access in contradiction with the preceding phrase...
Anyway, I tried to modify these authorizations for user2 by clicking on the lock of the Information pannel and entering name and password of the administrator. Didn't go farther than that. By mistake, I hit Command-Delete and user2 was GONE from the list AND NOT ONLY from the list in the Information window! Using Fast User Switching and going to user2, nothing left on the Desktop and NO Home anymore.
In the System Preferences/Accounts panel, user2 was still mentionned.
In the Users folder, no user2 folder anymore.
Using once again Fast User Switching, I logged as user2 and got by magic an all new Home. Nothing left in Documents, Library or other user1 folders. Standard settings for icons, dock, etc.
My first move has been to use a very recent backup to restore everything (Thank you Mike Bombich from Copy Cloner!).
Once everything was back to normal, I had a look at the Trash from user1 and guess what, the Home folder of user2 was there, complete.
So now I am left with two questions
why is it I do not have the same dialogs when connecting from all the accounts although as far as I can see, configurations are the same?
why is it possible, from an Information pannel to delete the account of another user?
Thank you all for comments!

Apple TV keeps telling me there is a problem with my apple ID and password when I try to connect to home sharing. I have checked and rechecked and re-entered several times with same message.

I just bought an Apple TV and am trying to set it up. I am connected to wireless, is having difficulties setting time and date. When I try to connect to iTunes and sharing. It keeps telling me that there is a problem with my apple ID and password. I have quadruple checked and re-entered and it won't recognise it. What do I do? Dan.

Sounds like it is more an issue of connecting to the internet. Not just the WiFi Some people have reported that performing a power cycle on their Internet router solved this.

Communication problem with Adobe 9.0 and HP Printer when I scan

I'm having a problem getting a .pdf file to come up when I scan from a HP 5610 All-in-one printer. Have uninstalled and reinstalled HP software three times but when I scan and want a pdf file it won't communicate with Adobe 9.0 reader for some reason. Is there a setting in Adobe reader that's a problem?
Thanks.

Thanks...found out that an HP5610xi All-in-One will not completely communicate with Adobe 9.0 Had to go to Adobe 6.0

IE11 Problem with Windows 8.1 and IIS 8.5

I have upgraded my computer from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, 64bit and IIS 8.5 is installed on the upgraded machine. I am unable to view with IE11 the default page of the default website hosted on the local machine. The problem occurs with both
the desktop version of IE11 and the Windows 8 metro style version.
When Chrome is installed on the machine the page is visible but when using IE11 a "This page can't be displayed" message appears. The IIS Log Files reveal that it is receiving nothing from IE11. Other machines I have that have also been upgraded
to Windows 8.1 exhibit the same fault.
The strange thing is that when viewing pages on other networked machines exhibiting the same problem, you can see the pages on the remote machines but in all instances the local page cannot be viewed.
It appears that there is a problem with IE11. Uninstalling and reinstalling IE11 does not fix the problem.
Can anyone help me? Assitance with this problem would be most appreciated.

There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (4:4)

Trying to open a streamed PDF in an IFRAME in Internet Explorer 9 on my Win7 64bit machine.
This results in the following dialog:
There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (4:4)
The PDF is streamed (not read from disc) from a servlet in our Java WebSphere environment and the call looks like this:
https://intranetserver.com/myapplication/OpenDocumentServlet.pdf?documentToOpenID=1
The Servlet sets content-type header application/pdf and content-length and writes the bytes to the buffer.
Does the error dialog even come from Acrobat? When the dialog opens there is no active AcrReader process visible in task manager.
Please advise!
