Any ideas why I can no longer access shared files on networked PC's in my office? I keep getting a "server not exist or unavailable" error.

I have been able to access the files in the past. Actually when I've had this problem before a restart has solved it. Not this time. And it keeps happening. Even more strange, Filemaker is able to access shared databases stored on the same PC's. Why can Filemaker see these computers? Both also show up in the finder but when I try to connect I get the error. I also tried "connect as" with no success. Any ideas?

Thanks Barney, I am now using pages to open exisiting Word documents. and then saving in the new format. I then trash the old incompatable (.doc) file.
This works OK, but it will be a time consuming operation to be repearted on each file that I use.
Is there any shortcut to enable sync all of the .doc files to Page?
I have not managed to recover Entourage email files . But now use Mail application, which is fine.
Encountered problems are ongoing.
I have an Epson Epson Stylus Photo Rx430 printer.
Since upgrading to OSX10.7 print files do not load to the printer. The Epson job box shows data is being sent to printer but it the task is never completed.
I take this to be a Printer Driver issue.
Today, I have been in contact with Epson Printer support, enquiring if they have any driver updates for RX430 that would be compatable with OSX10.7 Lion.
I was notified by Epson that they do not have any drivers for any of their printers for the new OSX 10.7.
How may I continue using my now unsupported Epson printer?

Hi Murray,
What version of Acrobat or Acrobat Reader are you using? Are you trying to open the PDF files from the Finder, or in Acrobat/Reader?
We look forward to hearing back from you.

Any idea why i can no longer add bookmarks? Is there a limit?

Is there a limit to number of bookmarks? Safari will not add any more.

I found the fix and here is what I did. I opened Safari. On the top row I clicked "Safari" then "Empty Cache...". Under Safari I then clicked on "Preferences...". In the window that opened I clicked on the "Privacy" tab. Then I clicked the "Remove all Website Date..." button. I can now access the ATT.com site without any issues.

Brett,
Well done getting the wireless network secured.
You have to precede the (hex) password with a '$' in Mac OS, to tell the Internet Connect dialog box that you are keying a hex password (rather than ASCII). This is because the Mac has detected that the network is WEP protected, and leaves it to you to decide how you want to key the password.
As an alternative, in Internet Connect (or from the AirPort icon menu), you can elect to join an "Other" network. If you select your network again, it'll come up with "WEP Password" as the option of Wireless Security. You can change this to "WEP 40/128-bit hex" and then not have to precede your password with the '$'.
Alternatively, you could tell us the make and model of your wireless router and we can tell you how to set, and use an ASCII password. From your 10-character hex password, we can see that you're using 40/64-bit WEP. Non-Apple routers can be a bit fussy when using ASCII passwords with 40-bit WEP (don't worry, this is also true for Windows PC's using 40-bit WEP too), but we can talk you through it.
As a final alternative, as you have such a whizzy Mac, as long as your wireless router supports it, you could use WPA security, and never have to worry about ASCII / hex / '$', etc. Older Macs (particularly original AirPort cards - not AirPort Extreme - and OS9) were limited to 40-bit WEP.

One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?

One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?

Wow, have seen Files do that, but a whole Folder as I recall!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

Ask your friend if they use to have an iPhone and used iMessage. If so, they probably didn't unregister their phone number with iMessage before changing phones and your iPhone is still trying to send iMessages to their number. If that's the case, they need to contact Apple support and request that their mobile number be unregistered for iMessage.

When you updated to Mavericks and qualified for the free iWork apps and then installed them, the old iWork apps were rounded up and put into a folder name iWork' 09 and the three new versions of the apps are scattered in the apps folder in alphabetical order.

Macbook pro can no longer access windows file share. 'This file server is available on your computer'

Hi all,
We have a consultant who uses a macbook pro to access the internet and a windows share within our network. He has been accessing the internet and the windows share fine for over 4 weeks and overnight he can no longer access the internet or this windows share. I have got the error down to a specific windows share which is actually a share on a DC hence the loss of internet. When this user plugs in via ethernet he can view all network locations as expected and can access everyone succesfully bar this specific one. Everytime he tries to access this share he gets the following error: 'This file server is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally'. I have another macbook pro that can successfully access this share.
I have tried renewing leases, browsing the network in finder, using 'cmd + k' all produce the same message.
The user is running Mountain Lion
Any ideas?
Adam

Find and delete the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist file. This is what keeps track of all your current server share mounts. Maybe the file is corrupt or something. Once you delete it, reboot the machine and then try again. Don't empty the trash until you're sure everything works after the reboot.

HT6312 So if I have Mavericks, I can no longer access my files in iCloud?

So if I have Mavericks, I can no longer access my Pages documents in iCloud? They are not accessible if I don't upgrade, and If I do upgrade they are also not accessible with Mavericks?

Restore from the backup you made before wrecking the system. Never change the permissions of any file again.

Any idea why I can't print using Photoshop Elements 13 and an HP Color Laser Jet printer?

Windows 7 with Photoshop Elements 13 - Recently purchased Elements 13 and haven't been able to print! I have an HP Color Laser Jet CMI1312nfi MFP and printed fine last year with a trial version of Elements 12. I keep getting errors saying "the saved print information is an incompatible version. It has been set to default values" as well as "default printer could not be opened." I downloaded an update to the driver for the printer today but still no luck. Any other ideas?

I ended up reinstalling the drivers for the Canon from the original CD and that took care of it. Normally I can just copy the PPDs for our particular printers to the PPD folder in the Library/Printers/PPDs folder and it works fine, but for some reason this machine decided it needed everything reinstalled. It's working now.

Any idea why I can only hear a caller when I'm using speaker phone?

Does anyone know why I can only hear a caller when I am using speaker phone?

Hi goodferg,
The troubleshooting steps below may help you with the sound issue you are having with your iPhone 4:
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
Resolution
Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
Hope this helps!
- Judy
