Can't access new MBP from other Macs on my network

I just got a new last-gen MBP running Leopard. All Apple updates are installed. I need to access it from two Macs on my network that are running Tiger (also with all current updates installed). Tiger-to-Tiger connections are running perfectly. And the new Mac accesses the Internet, networked printers and so on just fine.
Problem: While the MBP shows up in the other machines' Network Browser, they can't connect to it. And, while the MBP sees the other machines, all it can connect to is the account Public Folders (the entire volumes are set to share).
The new MBP was populated with data from my old PB G4 using Migration Assistant.
I've never had a problem like this. I've tried disabling the MBP Firewall, rebooting the network, rebooting all of my Macs, but still no luck.
I've searched the Discussions and didn't find any help in previous postings. Hopefully someone can help me now...
Thank you!

And the Leopard machine shows in each Tiger machine's network browser.
I've rebooted all of the machines at least once and rebooted my router and switch as well.
I've tried connecting to the Leopard machine by specifying its afp address.
None of this works. I guess I'll need to take advantage of my free 90 days of tech support and call Apple. In 20 years of owning Macs, I've never encountered anything like this. I still hope I don't need to reinstall the OS, but I'm getting very worried.
Thanks for all the suggestions; I'll keep checking back and will also post the solution if one is found.
I do not think it's an OS issue. At least one requiring a reinstall.
I just started my other MBP with Tiger. Takes a bit since it's booting via a FW400 pipe.
I will see if I can access this MBP from that one in a few minutes. Never did that - all my systems have been peers. (Booted faster than I expected.)
First I note that this Leopard box does not show up on the Tiger box.
Also "go" and browse does not show this box.
It worked but I had to enter this IP into the "connect to" on Tiger.
Required login and password.
Connected via afp and a window popped up with the volumes on this box to connect to.
Clicked this user account and there I was.
After that, this box showed up in the Finder sidebar.
So Tiger will connect to a Leopard box, but it seems that one needs to enter the IP of the Leopard box. If that does not work, then something is wrong.
Curiously, that Tiger box has not registered on this Leopard under Places.
Ah, I did not have filesharing on in the Tiger box. Turned it on and I can see it from here.
So I have bilateral network connections: Leopard here <-> Tiger there
Works for me, but that does not help you except to know that it should work.
BTW The Tiger version is 10.4.11.

  • Can you access time capsule from a mac over the internet

    Can you access time capsule from a mac over the internet?

    Yes. See this thread about how to access the disk attached to a Time Capsule.  Access to the Time Capsule itself can be done similarly.

  • Can't Access Aperture Photos from Other Applications

    I am using the trial version of Aperture. I can't access the photos in Aperture from Photoshop, Word or any other application (except Mail). I can see the icon for Aperture and the words "Aperture 3 Trial Library" but it is grayed out. Is there a setting or what? I have Snow Leopard and Mac OS X 10.6.5.

    I guess one thing that bothers me about all my pictures being "bundled" in iPhoto or Aperture is that they don't show up in the Finder.
    This is a real non-issue. A Package is simply a folder that looks like a file. Want to look inside? Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library or the Aperture Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    See? There are all your files, in folders.
    Why are they Packaged? Because if you move, rename, or alter them then you will corrupt your Library. So it's a simple protection for the structure of the Library. That's all. No big secret.
    But there are other things you need to consider too.
    Supposing you want to attach a file to an Email in Aperture. Presumably you want to send the edited file of your photo. So, how do you do that +when there is no edited file+? Aperture doesn't actually edit the file at all it simply records the decisions you have taken and shows them to live when you view the pic. All your edits are "virtual". So, the fact that your original files are stored out the the package will be no help to you at all.
    iPhoto is pretty much the same - though the details are different.
    So, you have to use the applications when you want to access the files for whatever reason - editing, printing, sharing, whatever. That's the point of these apps. They are your Photo Manager, what AddressBook is to your Contacts, iTunes is to your Music and so on.
    Here's a macro I use for when these questions come up on the iPhoto Forum. Most - if not all - of these will also work for Aperture:
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *_(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)_*
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto or Aperture
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto or Aperture not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. This produces, producing a copy.

  • Can't access iTunes store from old mac running os 10.4

    Hi...  I have an Mac G4 (PowerPC) running OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger).  It's running the most current version of iTunes that was supported by that OS version.  I'm getting rid of that old machine soon and all I wanted to do was de-authorize iTunes from that computer.  The computer is clearly connected to the Internet but when I open iTunes and try to get it to connect to the iTunes Store, it constantly says an error occurred and it then says to check to see that the computer is connected to the network. 
    Any ideas why I can't connect to iTunes???  I clearly know the login information so that's not the problem.  Is the iTunes store no longer supporting OS X Tiger or something like that??? 
    On a related question, I see where I can de-authorize all computers from another computer and then reauthorize on the couple of computers where I still want to be able to use iTunes and the store.  Is there any danger with this deauthorize and then reauthorize concept???  Do I risk losing anything on the computers I still want to be authorize to access iTunes??? 
    Any help would be much appreciated...  thanks... bob...

    I don't know the answer to the first part (why you can't get to iTunes through Tiger), but regarding the second part, deauthorizing will not cause you to lose any information.  While deauthorized, you won't be able to access some information, but it won't be erased or removed.

  • Help - can't access one website from my Macs, but I can on my PCs

    A couple of days ago, I stopped being able to access at least one specific website on my Mac.
    It’s my own domain so I haven’t been banned or blocked.
    Everyone else can access the site, so it’s not down.
    I can access the site from the PCs in my house, so it’s not an ISP issue.
    I cannot access it from FTP, Firefox, Safari, or anything else on my Mac, so it’s not a browser issue.
    I can access every other site I’ve tried, so it’s not an internet issue.
    I’ve repaired permissions. I’ve rebooted several times.
    What gives? Any ideas?
    I just tried it on my brother’s computers on the SAME network. His PC could access it but not his Mac. So it appears isolated to Macs on this network.
    I'm baffled.

    The lock icon appears when you iPod is set to automatically update.

  • Can you access ~\Users\Sharing from a PC on the network?

    I have a mixed home network of 3 PCs and one Mac Mini. I want to store all the digital music on the Mac Mini and share it with the PCs.
    I have successfully created networking links between the PCs and the Mac. For example, I setup a MYPC account on the Mac and I can map a PC network drive to \\MacMini\MYPC\Music. This works fine, and survives a reboot. BUT IT ONLY GETS ME INTO THE FOLDER ON THE MAC WITH THAT USER'S FILES (MYPC), NOWHERE ELSE. So it's not a directory everyone can use (public).
    I am trying to map \\MacMini\Users\Sharing and I can't get to it from the PC at all. I've tried using the IP address also. Nothing gets me there. This is after being connected in as an authorized account on the Mac. I thought that folder was open to all? Any suggestions?
    I've also tried using a public folder on the Mac account to share. Also unsuccesful. Each PC user can easily see their own public folder (and more). Sometimes after I'm logged in, I can directly type in the address \\MacMini\MacUser\Public and see it, but it's intermittment and unpredicatable. I'm, open to this route, if I could get it to work.
    This is a real head-scratcher. Please help me out.

    You will need to use Sharepoints in order to share specific folders

  • Can't access some websites from XP machines on the network, but Win7 PC's ok

    Hi,
    We have a SBS installation with both XP and 7 PCs on it. Within the last couple of weeks the XP units have become unable to access certain websites, although others are ok. Windows 7 PC's are fine. Pings to the affected sites are also ok from either XP or
    7. Despite a lot of effort trying to discover the reason we are not any closer to a solution. Could anyone suggest how we might track down the source of the issue ?
    Many thanks

    Hi,
    Please try to reset the IE on the XP client. This issue may be caused by misconfiguration of the Internet Explorer.
    Please check if there is any firewall rule block the TCP port 80 of the specified website.
    To check if the TCP port 80 is open, please use the portqry tool.
    To download the portqry, please click the link below,
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24009
    If the TCP port 80 is block on the specified website, please check the network settings. Normally, this issue is caused by the misconfiguration of the firewall. Also, incorrectly configured proxy or router will cause this issue too.
    If the TCP port 80 is open, we may need to perform a network capture on the XP client.

  • I would like to back up my mac to a wireless hard drive, seperately on the same hard drive I'd like to store movies which i can access and play from other mac devices around the house on a wireless network. Will the time capsule do this for me?

    Wireless soulutions please?

    Yes, just copy the movie to the TC.. if you mean run itunes from the TC you can do that too.. there are plenty of posts telling how.
    But big BUTT.. no backup for data stored directly on the TC.. Time Machine is not going to back up the TC.. and as it only has one hard disk make sure it has a backup somewhere else.. otherwise one day you will discover your files are gone.

  • HT1391 How can I copy new songs from other sites back to my windows folders?

    I just bought an ipod and downloaded itunes on it and my lap-top, (where I use windows media player.) Today I bought some songs from another website on my computer, but I couldn't find them in the "my music" folders, I signed on to itunes and found them there. I checked, and my preferences for that site hadn't been changed; how can I copy those songs back into windows? Itunes copied my entire library from my computer...

    I'm replying to myself:
    I figured this out; just go to the itunes folder, open it, and then move the song, or album, into that artist's folder in "my music." I thought about doing this, then I read the cautions about renaming, or moving, tracks and hesitated. It worked just fine.

    If you right mouse and select Get info it will show you the Apple ID used to purchase these songs.
    Usually the name of an apple id is based on the email. So knowing that you may have forgotten the Apple ID password.

  • I have two accounts with iTunes.  Can they be merged or somehow combined so that I can have access to everything from both my old iPod Touch and my new iPhone5?

    I have two accounts with iTunes.  Can they be merged or somehow combined so that I can have access to everything from both my old iPod Touch and my new iPhone5?

    No.
    You can authorize your computer for both accounts.  Put all of the music on one computer.  Sync your devices to that computer.
