Can no longer see Windows PC in Finder

Ok, we have 3 macs and (1) PC on a network. We connect to the printer via the PC. Everything has been smooth up to 2 days ago. We can no longer see the PC in finder, in turn we can no longer access the shared printer. We have made no configuration changes. However, Security Update 2007-09 was installed on 1/15. This is the day we could no longer print to the PC. Any ideas or can I uninstall the update. Thanks

  • Can no Longer See Windows Shares

    My network has always connected no problem. Suddenly today I can no longer see the computers on my LAN. These are all windows shares. All I see are two alias' Llbrary and Servers. Mail and internet operates normally both by ethernet and wireless. I've tried everything I can think of. I managed one time to bring up a folder Workgroups but I have lost that too. I think that folder is usually empty though. I was told there was a short power outage which required a reboot of the servers but that is not unusual. Windows client on the network continue to see each other. Any ideas?

  • Switched from W7Beta to W7RC:  Can no longer see Windows partion in OSX

    Hey all,
    It's pretty much all spelled out in the title. Microsoft is pretty clear that upgrading is never an option with beta software. In light of that, I knew I would have to re-install the OS from scratch to upgrade from the beta to the retail candidate. I decided to just boot up from the installation disk and re-install the new version over top of the same boot camp partition. Everything works great now except for one thing: OSX no longer recognizes the other partition as a windows one. Instead, it just shows up in disk utility as "disk0s3" and its all greyed out.
    In the big picture, I guess its not a big deal since W7 has to be on NTFS anyway (so I can't really use it much from the mac side anyway). I was just wondering if anybody knew how I could fix this. (Without having to reformat the partition with bootcamp...I don't care THAT much )

    I needed the wmp plugin to view webcams in the latest firefox, some websites would show either nothing at all or just a black screen. I reinstalled the wmp plugin (v1.0.0.8) from [http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/windows-media-player-firefox-plugin-download here]. If there isnt an SP3 version available, try SP2. The x86 plugin for an old 32-bit system, x64 for 64-bit, but it still only worked in IE. Firefox remained black.
    I managed to eventually (somehow) fix the issue by clicking on tools>addons>extensions and then disabling all that were switched on, restarting firefox, and then re-enabling those I did want once more. After restarting firefox once again for the last time all webcams were working and showing again. I guessed from that, it may have been an incompatible extension that was installed, causing the wmp plugin to also not to work, or that the wmp plugin simply wasnt registered/installed correctly.
    Make sure that the wmp plugin is showing in the firefox "tools>addons>plugin" list. If that doesnt help, try the same with the firefox plugins (removing all that you dont work and/or disabling all except for the wmp plugin/re-starting firefox/re-enabling all+restarting firefox once again.. There are a few plugins and extensions that are no longer compatible with firefox 4. Im not sure if any of that will help, but at a guess if wmp streaming videos are set to play in IE, that may also be causing issues with streaming videos not playing in firefox?

  • I can no longer see my pointer and pull down windows pop up on everything!!! HELP

    I can no longer see my pointer and when I go to say "applications" a pop up or pull down menu open up...a tiny noe with words. Before a window with icons would open up and I liked that. Its also happening with the internet. instead of having apointer I see nothing and a pull down menu appears. I can't shoose anything because there is no pointer. What setting is this and how do I change it back? I want a normal pointer where I click on link and they open new links then I can type where I click too.

    dunno....could be a gamble...you might have Simple Finder turned on, or accessibilty (for those with vision problems, etc). I think pressing Command+Shift+F8 (that's fn+f8 key) ought to turn it off. If you're really stuck
    command+Shift+3 or command+Shift+4 will let you take a screenshot of your desktop which you might be able to post here. Also, check your views setting (Command+J key) which will let you display icons and stuff)
    maybe you hit that by accident
    good luck

  • HT1338 After recent update I can no longer see some my friends in my "find my friends" app?

    Since I updated my iPhone 4 I can no longer see some my friends on the "find my friends" app.  I used to be able to follow my husband and son but now it just says "location not available".  It's strange because they can still see me and follow me?

    Regarding device visibility in iTunes try Andrei Cerbu's post here, JF Fourie's post here, or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update.
    Once the device shows in iTunes you should be able to access the file sharing area from the apps tab of the device when connected.
    You may find the apps in question are able to transfer files into Dropbox which might provide an alternate transfer mechanism.

  • Can no longer see projects in library viewer in imovie '08 and need to find a different apple editing program

    Can no longer see projects in library viewer in imovie ’08 and need to find a different apple editing program
    I had approximately 15 projects that I can no longer see in imovie. I have read almost every thread on this community for imovie regarding error messages associated with looking for clips. In each case I have rebuilt the project.  However, today I continually received a message to search for a .dv file. I have located the file and even changed the .dv file to .mov file and yet none of my projects will appear. I have rebooted, deleted the plist and nothing works.
    I was planning on buying a new Mac in 2014 with new editing, and use my old Mac as a backup for imovie files. Very frustrated that I can’t work with any projects now! I se the files in my Movies/imovies/iprojects folder but they don’t appear in the viewer.
    Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get back my projects into the viewer? Or, can someone recommend a basic program compatible with imovie 08 that I can use to import my exiting projects into?

    No, Wasn't sure if I could continue to upgrade to 9.0.9 since my Mac is relatively old.
    Just don't understand why I have to keep starting a project over and over again. As I type this, the imovie icon is jumping and asking for "clip 135-02-05-05;27:15" cannot be found. Without this file, the movie cannot play properly."  I have located this clip and pointed imovie to the clip, and nothing happens. I even try to locate the corresponding clip in the event viewer but it is not there.
    Today is the first time I have not been able to see my projects in the viewer.

  • After update to iPad I can no longer see how I can easily transfer from Auria to PC

    After iPad was updated I can no longer see how I can see and work with my Apps in Itunes and I need to do that.
    I need to be able to upload files to Goodreader and right now I need to download a file recorded in Auria.
    Previously I could easily find my file but now I cannot get access to my iPad/apps
    Any suggestions?

  • My ipad does not appear in itunes. I am OS 10.6, itunes is up to date, I have restarted computer and ipad and switched usb sockets. Dont know if its related, but I can no longer see my sony handycam in imovies too.

    My brand new iPad 2 does not appear in iTunes. I am OS 10.6, iTunes is up to date, I have restarted computer and iPad and switched usb sockets. Don't know if its related, but I can no longer see my Sony Handycam in iMovies too.

    What content are you wanting to copy of the iPad ? You should be able to copy off anything that you've purchased from Apple (films, music, ibooks, apps etc) by connecting the iPad to your computer's iTunes and doing File > Transfer Purchases. If you want to copy off music copied from your own CDs or purchased from other sites then you will need to find a program for your computer that can copy them off – iTunes won't copy them off.
    For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit or saved from emails/websites then you should be able to copy them off via the Windows camera wizard.
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
    Content in third-party apps (documents and files etc) then how you copy that content off will depend upon what the apps that they are in support e.g.either via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

  • ITunes + Vista = my computer can no longer see my DVDrw drive...

    I just downloaded iTunes 7.6.2.9 onto my Dell Inspiron E1705 - and when I restart my computer, the computer can no longer see my Optical drive (DVDrw). I contacted Dell support, and they changed something in the regedit limits or something(I'm not a techy lol), and my optical drive was back.
    But the next day when I opened iTunes I got a message that says:
    "Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
    So I reinstalled iTunes.
    I restarted my computer, and it could no longer see my optical drive AGAIN. My DVDrw drive gets an error that says "This device cannot start (Code 10)." When I check for solutions it says "Could not load driver software."
    I go back to Dell support and tell them my optical drive isn't working. They do the exact same thing to fix it (deleting some limit with regedit) and it works. I open iTunes, and I get the iTunes Warning (Setup Assistant Error).
    I asked the Dell tech what the deal was, and he said iTunes isn't compatible at all with Vista.
    But according to Mac's website it is...
    Anyone know what's going on?!?!

    I am having the exact same behavior as xhollysue!
    It goes like this:
    1. Install ITunes, lose optical disk drives hardware (they don't even show up in Windows Explorer).
    2. Use RegEdit to disable Upper Filters at HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE1 0318}, optical drive hardware re-appears.
    3. iTunes requires a re-install to permit CD burning, and your back to square one.
    I got the above fix NOT from a Dell technician, but, instead, from a Microsoft technician, which cost me $70.
    I would strongly urge Apple to research this issue and come up with a more reasonable workaround since (1) the iPhone is being adopted by many traditional MS users and the use of iTunes is an integral part of the iPhone technology architecture; (2) iPhone 3G is just now shipping and will bring even more into the Apple camp; and (3) iTunes is clearly a better media player.
    Come on Apple. Let's get some enthusiam and take advantage of this opportunity!

  • Can No Longer See User Folder in Intrnl Drive after transferring to Ext Drv

    I'm trying very hard not to freak out right now, but I can no longer see my User Folder/Home in the Finder Bar after dragging and dropping it into the my newly formatted Seagate External Drive. I have OS 10.4.11 and am trying to install Snow Leopard, but before I do I wanted to back-up my hard drive. So I plugged in the Seagate, formated it for Macs, and then dragged and dropped he User Folder into the Seagate and now it is gone!
    Would greatly appreciate advice on how to find the User Folder so I can return it to the Internal Drive AND help on how to properly copy it to the Seagate External Drive as I have been unsuccessful.
    Many thanks!

    Not really. I previously tried that already. I added Chinese (Taiwan) and moved up pre-existing English as the phone language. Also set navigation voice in Here Drive+ to Chinese. Result:
    1. Street names still shows in English (it goes with phone language obviously), like "Da Xing Rd." However, some landmarks will show in both languages. 
    2. Navigation voice is in Chinese but all the street names are announced in English, so e.g. "Da Xing Rd." is announced as "Da-Sing-R-D". ("St." will be announced as "S-T"...) (This is the same as in WP8)
    Thank you. 

  • I can no longer see the account balance on my iTunes gift card.  Why?

    Where can I find the account balance from my iTunes gift card, on my macbook pro, in the iTunes store?

    Thank you responding.  (you're the only response I received).  I did, and was doing, as you suggested.  Before the latest iTunes update, I was able to see my account balance (a whopping $9.98), but can no longer see the amount.  I've tried logging out and back into iTunes to no avail.  Same goes on my iPhone and iPod, and iPad.  The system keeps asking for credit card info, but I'm hesitant to do that.  (That's why we purchase iTunes gift cards, isn't it ?) !
    Anyway, Thank you for your assistance.  Next stop is the local Apple Store and see what the Genus bar can do. !!

  • Since the most recent Firefox updates, I am having trouble with certain features on The New York Times website; I can no longer see certain weblog comments, or post comments, etc.

    This question is admittedly a little complicated. The New York Times website has a number of weblog pages which include brief stories followed by space for readers to leave comments. You probably need to be a Times On-Line subscriber to really see what I'm talking about, but some examples would be this City Room blog: http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/02/bloomberg-cancels-radio-talk-amid-furor-over-aides-resignation/ or this Arts Beat blog: http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/01/theater-talkback-remembering-jerry-leiber-a-reluctant-pioneer-of-the-jukebox-musical/
    Since the most recent Firefox updates, when I view these pages, which traditionally have a number of reader comments at the bottom of the Times' story (or at least a space to leave a comment), I can no longer see the comments. There's simply empty. blank space. I know that the comments are there; if I open Internet Explorer and log on to the same page, the comments are suddenly visible. I don't understand where this problem has come from. I haven't noticed whether I'm missing seeing anything on other websites yet.
    I also cannot post comments on other parts of the Times website; while the pages dedicated to story-specific reader comment seem to load correctly and the space to type my comment does appear, I can't actually submit the comment. Repeated pressing of the "submit" icon has no effect. Once again, this works normally in IE.
    For the record, in the past week, I have changed my computer's anti-virus software from McAfee to Norton 360. I run Windows XP. If there's any another information I can provide, please advise, as I vastly prefer running Firefox to IE.

  • HT201322 itunes 11.0.3 - in my iTunes library I can no longer see purchased TV shows and Movies that are not downloaded to my computer. also In my Itunes account i have no hidden TV shows or Movies

    I'm running itunes 11.0.3 -
    in my iTunes library I can no longer see purchased TV shows and Movies that are not downloaded to my computer.
    In my Itunes account i have no hidden TV shows or Movies
    I used to be able to view all cloud and downloaded content.  I no longer can.

    There used to be option to show items that are in the cloud in your library, but I can't find where that now is (unless it's been removed). You should be able to see what items that you can re-download via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (at the top right of that there should be a 'not on this computer' button)
    Edit : Just seen your reply, though I don't appear to have that setting on mine.

  • Imac and Macbook pro can no longer see one another

    I'm not sure why, but all since I upgraded to Yosemite, I can no longer see my iMac on my Macbook Pro and vice versa. I could always see the computer that I needed to connect to in finder, or I could connect with my iCloud password. As of today, I can no longer access my iMac from my Macbook Pro and that's a problem. If someone could provide directions (dumbed down version) explaining how to connect the computers from scratch, I would greatly appreciate it. I am fine with setting it up again but I can't recall how I did it.  Thanks so  much. I did upgrade both my iMac and MacBook pro to Yosemite over the weekend.
