I cannot see my iMac on the network.

This is a new problem as I have been able to share files before and I don't believe that anything has changed in my setup. File sharing is on and I have tried with and without firewall. I have also tried turning things on and off again, and re-detecting the network. No joy. It is set to share files and folders using SMB or AFP in preferences. Any ideas please?

and another thing. The iMac won't connect to my ipad when I try to connect to server that way round. It almost feels as if they don't believe they are on the same netwrok, but they are!

How do I see my iMAC on the network

I have both PC as well as iMAC connected on the network. I can see the PC on my iMAC - no problems. But I can't see the iMAC on my PC. I 'shared' my files on the MAC for FTP access (tried with AFP & SMB as well), then browsed the network places on my PC (as well as put the ftp address), but can't see the MAC.

I'm thinking that it might be the same as my problem. Have you shut down/restarted your iMac at any point after successfully sharing files? If yes, then you have to go back to -system preferences-sharing-internet sharing- and click on it again to start it up even though the box is checked and it looks like it is on. I shut down my iMac every night (to save on electricity) so this somehow disconnects my saved network.

Lion and others Mac 10.6, I cannot see Screen Sharing on the network

Hello all,
Since I've install Lion on the Mac Mini I cannot acces (and see) on the network in Screen Sharing. I can access all other Mac on 10.5.8 and 10.6.x easily. In the prefs all is exactly like before I upgrade this OS...
Is someone can give me an issue.
Thank and have a great day!
Paul Dionne

I'm not sure what you are and are not seeing from which computers on the network.
Note that whatever your prefererences were before has no bearing on fixing your problem.
Which computers can you see, and from which computers.
What type of file sharing do you have enabled on the 10.5.8 and 10.6.x computers, AFP or SMB?

Welcome to Apple Discussions:
I've already turned my SMB in System Pref/Sharing
That won't do anything. That only allows sharing From Mac To PC.

Maverick says Luck has nothing to do with it
router ip 192.168.2.1
target PC 192.168.2.2
Can you ping the PC? That's the first step. In other words, can you see it on the most basic level?
Open a terminal and enter
ping 192.168.2.2
if that's the PC in question.
If you get a non-null response you are half-way there.
On the PCs, be sure you have file sharing turned on and also be sure you choose simple file sharing.
On the Mac, in the Finder Go menu, enter the IP of the PC where it says "Connect to Server" and you should get a login window. Enter the user id and password for an existing account on the PC.
That usually takes care of it.
pls help.
thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English

New Router- Internet OK, but cannot see other machines on the network with Windows Explorer

Everything was fine (but slow) with my old Linksys BRFW1154. Ordered and got a new WRT350N. Multiple computers (using Windows XP) on network can all access the internet and the network printer, but when I try to use Windows Explorer to see files etc on other computers (in My Network Places) from any computer, I no longer can see the other computers. I get the error: "Workgroup is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this ........etc....".
Any ideas out there as to how I get my network working again?

check whether all the computers can ping each other fine...also, the computers should be in the same workgroup

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!

How do I add a printer connected to another iMac on the network to my printer list?

How do I add an Epson printer connected to an iMac on the network to the printer list on my MacBook Pro? I cannot get it to show up in the list for printers to add.

That only works if the printer is itself a network printer. You can't do it if it is directly connected to another computer on the network unless it is configured to be a Shared Printer on the other computer.

Cannot see printer and PCs on network

I have a G5 connected through Airport to a Netgear WGR614 v4 router which is connected in turn to a cable modem. There are also two PCs and a wireless printer (HP Officejet 7410) on the network.
The PCs and printer function correctly. The G5 is able to access the Internet through Airport, the router and the cable modem. The router settings confirm that the G5 is an "attached device".
However the G5 doesn't seem to be able to see anything else on the network. When I try to look at the network from within Finder all I see is one server corresponding to my G5. Do I need to do something to Network Preferences to make the printer and PCs visible to the G5?
iMAC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I seem to have resolved this, at least as far as accessing the printer is concerned, by installing HP's software on the PC part of the network first, and only subsequently on the G5. It now seems to work.
I'm still unclear about how Finder works as far as showing me what is on the network. I'd expected it to work like Windows Explorer on XP and be able to show me everything on the network. However it doesn't seem to do this. Is this a problem with my setup, or a misunderstanding about how Finder works with regard to networks?

After setting up my brand new Airport Express 802.11n and accidentally using it to connect my iMac to the network...my iMac no longer connects through Ethernet? Any ideas...I have tried everything without success!!

I have been using Apple technology for about 10 years starting with 1st generation iPods and our house now includes a 5 year old iMac, all versions of iPods and touches, Apple TVs (both generations) and most recently an iPad 2. I have always told family and friends that Apple technology just works. Unfortunately that stopped today. I bought a new Airport Express 802.11n to use for AirTunes around my new pool. I set it up from my iMac and accidentally used it to connect my iMac to the network for a short time. Now I can no longer connect the iMac to the network using a hard wired Ethernet cable. I have tried resetting everything possible, from hubs to routers to the Mac itself and it just will not connect to the network through Ethernet any longer. I am now a very frustrated Apple user especially when the support site says I can't use the fast path support because my product was manufactured 5 years ago...I just bought it at BestBuy yesterday. All other computers and itechnology in the house are connecting via wifi and Ethernet without any issue except from my new iMac boat anchor. Anybody who can help me??? Thanks

John, thanks for the email so quickly.
I too hope I haven't tried "everything" either but I am reasonably technical. I had done what you suggested to do before but I did both again.
Ethernet is yellow in the left side bar. In the right pane it's status says Connected but then below it says "Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet."
I have tried the assist me menu and Network Status has Ethernet Green, Network settings Yellow, ISP Green, and Internet and Server Red and Failed for both. I have turned things off and on, checked cables, deleted all locations and tried restting them up but to no avail. I even disconnected everything and connected the mac directly into the cable modem itself and the thing still will not connect.
Thoughts???

Will server search and import existing profiles from Imacs on the network

We are in the process of installing new imacs into an existing windows 2003 SB network. Today the SMB server is the DNS server however I have bought a mac server in order to take the SMB out of the loop and change it over to simply being a file server for reference via VM's using Windows 7 of the old Windows PC's that the Imacs are replacing.
We currently have 4 imacs in the network already and have their own profiles as per the standard start up. The question is will the mac server when configured as the replacement DNS server find and import the existing Imac profiles or will they need to be recreated via the server

The executable will be run on the client computer, if you acces them by a shared drive or something.
But download time can be noticable, but it shouldn't cost performance, be aware that all users will share the same app.ini file.

At a guess you have simply chosen a blank Layout mode template.
Blank Layout templates have absolutely nothing on them, you have to add your own textboxes.
Choose a Word Processing template, they are listed in the Template Chooser sidebar.

My iMac with Leopard does not see Vista PCs on the network

My iMac with Leopard cannot see any of my Vista PCs on my network. I have an older G5 iMac (tiger) and the Leopard system see that one just fine. My older G5 sees my Leopard mac and all of the Vista computers. I just want the Leopard mac to see the Vista computers. Please help.

I'm having the same problem. It was literally working one minute and not the next. I also had this issue with my MBP but it was never resolved. I can ping the vista machine but not connect to the folder structure. This is really annoying because my vista machine is acting as a server and I need to remote desktop from the iMac to the windows machine.
Any ideas people?
