After OS 10.4.6 update, mounting my other Mac - drives have lock icon. Why?

I have a Powerbook and a desktop G5. I share files between them and mount drives (my home directory) on both desktops to easily move files back and forth. Recently after I updated to 10.4.6, when I mount my home directory on either machine (from the other machine), the drive (folder) has a lock icon next to it making it READ only.
What can I do to remove that lock so I can WRITE to my home directory on each Mac? Thanks!
Robert

When I do Command-I, I see that I have read/write access for the local drive - depending on the machine I am sitting at - and the other networkeded drives allow read only.
I guess the question is - how does the system know a user with the same username and password are actually the same person?

  • Why after the last Photoshop CC Update the Lasso Tool not more have the Backspace step backward -Fun

    Why after the last Photoshop CC Update the Lasso -Tools not more have the Backspace-last-point-step-backward -Funktion?? This is terrible!!
    So i can not work more. Please change immediately with a next update!! Please..

    Good day!
    This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.
    Also I can not reproduce the issue you claim to have with 14.2 on Mac OS 10.8.5.
    What is your OS?

  • Since updating to Mavericks my mac book pro locks up about 3 to 4 times a day, only way to recover is a hard reboot

    Since updating to mavericks my mac boook pro locks up 3 to 4 times a day, the only way to recover is to hard reboot the system.  This started 2 days ago - about 15 days after upgrading.  All teh apps are visible just can't do anything with them.

    Please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
    Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
    You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
    Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
    Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
    To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

  • Impossible to update Keynote when other Iwork applications have been deleted?

    Hi,
    I've got Keynote installed on my MacBookPro and would like to update my version 5.03 to 5.05.
    However, after having downloaded the IWork update it says that it cannot perform the update as Pages cannot be found on my HD.
    I always delete Pages (and whatever other applications are in the package, as I don't ever use them), and can't seem to find it neither backed up or the original installation DVD (maybe Iwork was already installed on the Mac when I got it - I can't remember).
    So, my question is, is it possible to get an update that can update only Keynote ? 
    (or at least somehow bypass the installation package's problem that it cannot find Pages etc. ?)
    All the best,
    Elainie

    Upon first-time turning on the Mac, you were asked for an Apple ID during the initialization routine. Whatever you entered, that's the one the App Store is expecting for letting you download the updates.

  • 11.1 iTunes update not connecting other macs on home sharing

    With the new 11.1 iTunes update I am unable to connect with other macs on homesharing. They are appearing nowhere in my iTunes however my mac is appearing in their iTunes. I have tried de-autherising my computer with no luck Anyone else with this problem? With this update I also lost all my podcasts and I would desperately like them back. HELP!!!

    I already have what you ( ClayandLonnie ) have suggested with the preferences>Shareing Preferences set to share all.
    I have tried turing it off, and then back on.
    I have tried just sharing specific items and this still did not work.
    I am going to try stepping back down to 11.04.4 as previously suggested by TheDarkCanuck when I get home tomorrow. (maybe saturday).  I am just leary about having to recreate all my libraries and how long that might take.  I have over 1.5 TB of Music and Video, that is why I would like to get it working in the current version.
    Just because I don't have a Mac, it seems that this is not being taken as a real problem for the windows 7 users (maybe it is specific to 64bit).  I may try the 32bit version to see if that fixes it first.  Unless someone else has, and want to chime in.

  • External drives no longer mounting on other Mac since Leopard Install

    I have recently upgraded my old iMac to a Mac Mini with Leopard, however since using my Iomega 320GB External Hard Disk and also my 2GB Kingston USB Stick on my Mini they no longer mount on my old iMac, it's like Leopard has somehow created a volume on them ensuring they won't mount elsewhere anymore.
    I still have lots of files on my old iMac that I need to transfer over to my Mini so this is a problem to me.
    Any ideas?

    Anyone experienced similar problems?

  • USB Drive not mounting on Mac Pro, mounts on other Macs?

    Hello.
    I have a USB drive that mounts on just about every Mac (just about because I haven't tried on them all) in our studio. Intel & PPC, 10.5.6 and 10.4.11. But, when I try and mount it on my Mac Pro, it won't mount. The only difference (other than it being a Mac Pro) is that it's running 10.5.7 — though, I have an iMac at home running 10.5.7 and it mounts there no problem as well?
    I've confirmed the USB ports working (all of them), but for some reason, this drive doesn't mount (can't see it in Disk Utility or other 3rd party drive utilities)?
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Regards,
    Kristin.

    Yea, I've already tried both of those things and neither have worked.
    So weird. I've read a lot of reports on these boards about 10.5.7 and USB not playing well together, but the fat that I've been able to get it to mount on a 10.5.7 machine...?

  • TS4036 My contact changes on one device are not automatically updating to my others. I have the iPhone 4, MacBook Pro & the latest iPad.  All are running on iOS6 and use Safari. What am I missing?

    Contacts are not syncing on my MacBookPro, iPhone4 & my iPad.

    On iOS devices, go to Settings>icloud, be sure each is connected to the proper icloud account and that the Contacts on/off switch is turned ON.  Check a similar things on the mac (system preferences).
    Also, contacts are listed as being either in the "iCloud" group or the "On My Mac" (or iPad, iPhone).  Anything in the "On My Mac" (or whatever device it is) does not sync via icloud, only contacts in "iCloud" sync.

  • Problems after installing 10.5.2 update

    Any one else getting error messages via Disk Utility of various types after installing latest update. Going from a clean install with a clean bill of health, to bad directory messages after installing update 10.5.2.
    Input/ output errors, etc
    ACL errors- I've never seen this until installing 10.5.2.
    I also get corrupted directory errors that disk utility is unable to repair disk.
    imac G5 takes at about 5 Minutes to start up and for desktop to become active.
    I wonder if these are common experiences with Non-intel Leopard 10.5.2 users, or are these issues common to everyone that installed the update?

    here was little space on my startupdrive so I suspect that this caused the problem.
    That's a big time problem. You may have to connect another Mac to your laptop and boot your laptop into FireWire mode to clear out about 10 GB of space on it and then run the 10.5.2 Combo updater from the other Mac. That's one of the problems with having Software Update being automatic. I never use it.

  • Connect to Canon Mx870 scanner after OS 10.9.4 update

    Hi, world of Mac geniuses:
    after the 10.9.4 update, none of the Macs in my house (a 2010 iMac, a 2012 MacBook Pro, a 2014 MacBook Air) will recognize the scanner function on our networked Canon MX870 integrated scanner / printer. They all recognize it as a printer, but not as a scanner. It is connected wirelessly to our AirPort base station. As I said, all the computers in the house do recognize it as a printer, and can print to it, so I don't think there's anything wrong with the network connection per se.
    I've tried all the obvious fixes -- restarting all the devices, removing the printer and then reinstalling it in System Preferences on each machine, removing the printer from the network and then connecting it to the network again.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any ideas?
    --JT

    Just to confirm, when you want to connect to a networked scanner using Image Capture, the device will appear under the heading of Shared rather than Devices. So the MX870 is not listed under the heading of Shared?
    If it is not listed under Shared, then a suggested action would be to connect the MX870 to one Mac via USB cable - purely as a test. If you then open Image Capture on this Mac the MX should now be shown under Devices. Select it and see that you can scan. This will confirm that the ICA driver is installed and working correctly. If this does work, disconnect the USB cable from the Mac and try scanning via the network again.

    Have you just recently installed GarageBand '11?
    This instalation downloads in two parts - first the basic application, and when you try to use an item that is not yet installed, GarageBand will try to download and install the missing instruments and loops from the AppStore. I am not sure at all, if this update will work, since there is now a newer GarageBand version at the AppStore.
    But try the usual fixes and then let us please know, if it is still possible.
    First, make sure, that you accepted GarageBand to your AppleID - sign into the AppStore and check the Purchased page of the App Store, if there is an "Accept" beside the GarageBand '11 version.  If yes, accept. Try  the update again.
    If it does not work, try the manual update: see mteep's post:  Re: GarageBand '11 won't download additional loops

  • What's Happening?? Some days after installing latest security up date for 10.5.8 on G4, both inernal CD/DVD drives failed to mount disks other than a cleaning disk which mounted and was imported into iTunes.No other CD or DVD disk will mount.

    Hello Robert,
    First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
    Then move these files to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
    Reboot & test.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

  • Mac Mini won't boot after 10.6.6 / Airport update

    I just reinstalled 10.6.3 on a unibody Mac Mini, updated to 10.6.6 - and it booted fine. I ran another software update, and it suggested two more updates - which I believe was an Airport Utility update and a Java update. Now the Mac Mini fails to boot, stopping at the Apple logo.
    The last lines of verbose startup goes like this:
    Airport: Link Down on en1. Reason 8 (Disassociated because station leaving).
    Aut result for: (MAC address) succeded
    AirPort: Link Up on en1
    AirPort: RSN handshake complete on en1
    AppleBCM5701Ethernet: 0 0 setFixedSpeed - logic error, speed any?
    Suggestions?
    H

    I experienced a similar problem today after a recent upgrade to 10.6.6. I ran Tech Tool Pro 5 on the machine, which reported everything as just dandy after about 6 hours of testing, but it still wouldn't boot. Next, I tried booting in Verbose mode, which revealed that my iMac was hanging on:
    AppleBCM5701Ethernet: 0 0 setFixedSpeed - logic error, speed any?
    I used Safe Single User mode (turn on power, then immediately press and hold Shift-Command-S until text starts appearing) to boot to a command line. Single User mode provides instructions on how to mount the file system read/write. I executed the `fsck` command as instructed, and after a few minutes it reported that it had made changes to the file system. At that point, I skipped the `mount` command and went directly to `exit` to continue the boot process, which completed. I turned AirPort back on (I had it turned off), then rebooted normally without any trouble.

    Dudes! Let me weigh in here as a computer doofus and CD whiz. I'm kinda helpless in OS-X, but with laser problems I have 20 years of experience on all makes (as a retired CD and DVD technician). I've never seen a "Cleaner-CD" that did more than you could do with a puff of air like to blow out a candle. The coating on the laser lenses attracts dust and gets frosted with things like smoke from cigarettes and incense (things basically of an oily nature). But since our BoulderBoy can read CDs, there must be some recognition routine that the machine is failing at. A lens can be surgically cleaned with a humid (not wet) Q-tip (I made thousand$ doing just that) if your technique is good, but this sounds like an internal sensor or switching routine. Not worth servicing, try some voodoo. I used to keep some Brazilian "tools" for makes like Tandberg, Futterman, and Carver... things like a stone hammer for alignments and a gourd rattle for mysterious ghosts in the machine.

  • I updated my mac which is an O X LION .7 but after the update has completed the mac rebooted itself and never stop booting

    i updated my mac which is an O X LION .7 but after the update has completed the mac rebooted itself and never stop booting

    yes wen i try booting in Safe Mode it behave the same. i have downloaded the combo update of 10.7.5 from another laptop, so how do i run it on my mac. THANKS for helping
    The goal is to mount the combo update .dmg on the desktop and then open and run it. If you can't get to the desktop to begin with, that won't work. Another approach is to treat the Mac's hard disk as just another HD by using a second Mac and then connecting the problematic one via Target Disk Mode. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661. Note that both Macs will need Firewire ports and you'll need a FIrewire cable to connect them. With the combo updater, one of the steps in the process is to select the drive you want to install the update on. Once you're successfully connected in Target Disk Mode, the problematic drive should appear in the list.
    If that doesn't work or Target Disk Mode isn't possible, the only other solution is to boot into Recovery Mode; see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718. Note that once booted into recovery mode, you have access to Disk Utility, and you should try running Repair Disk after selecting the bad drive to see if something's wrong with the directory which could be fixed. When you select that drive, you should also look at S.M.A.R.T. Status at the bottom of the window. It should say "Verified." If it says Failing or Failed, the HD needs to be replaced.
    If the HD is OK, all that's left that I can think of is to reinstall Lion using Recovery Mode. I hope you've maintained current backups or at least complete Time Machine backups. Of course, if you have a backup and the backup is bootable, you could boot from that, wipe the internal HD clean, and clone the backup onto the internal HD.
