Can't access shared files.... anyone know why?

Hi all,
This is my set-up:
laptop (wireless to) > Airport Extreme > switch > Dual G5 file server
The internet on my laptop is working fine.
Curiously, the netword tab shows the computer that I am trying to connect to for file sharing. When I go to log in, it hesitates, and then says 'The server may not exist or is not operational' - but it sees it and displays it in the Finder.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I solved it myself.
I enabled Appletalk, got the afp address from the host machine, plugged it into a connect request on my laptop, and now I have access to all the volumes.

  • Can't access shared files

    I have set up a shared folder in OS X 10.6 server for my workgroup. This folder is on the second hard drive (non-boot) of a two-drive Mac Mini server. When I log in I can see all the files, but whenever anyone else in the group logs in, they do not have permission. I setup permission for this shared point in server admin so that all members of the group have read and write permission. I verified this for each member using the Effective Permissions Inspector.
    Suggestions for how to gain access to the shared folder?

    I think you have your use of "dweeb" reversed. A dweeb knows what a SACL is. Or did I mix up dweeb and nerd again?
    File Services Access Control
    Server Admin in Mac OS X Server enables you to configure service access control lists (SACLs), which enable you to specify which users and groups have access to AFP, FTP, and SMB file services.
    Using SACLs enables you to add another layer of access control on top of standard POSIX and ACL permissions. Only users and groups listed in a SACL have access to its corresponding service. For example, if you want to prevent users from accessing a server’s AFP share points, including home folders, remove the users from the AFP service’s SACL.
    For information about restricting access to file services using SACLs, see “Setting SACL Permissions” on page 62.

  • Can not access shared files

    i m unable to access my shared program files folder on win server frm my win 7 pc
    plz hlp

    Please clarify what exactly you're trying to do and what error messages you get. In addition, clarify what OS version is installed on the server and whether the server and your workstation are joined to the same AD domain.

  • When I upload a single file into a production in FCS I can access all the fields in the metadata set, when I upload a batch of files, I can only access a partial number of fields in the metadata set.  Does anyone know why this happens?

    When I upload a single file into a production in FCS, I can access all the fields in a metadata set.  When I upload a batch of files into the same production in FCS, I can all access part of the fields in the metadata set.  Does anyone know why this happens?

    dredcomm,
    Great answer, and it led me to where to solve the problem.  In the field definition screen there is a category drop down list.  If you choose something other than none from the category drop down list then that field won't appear in the list of fields when you attempt to batch import a group of files.
    Thanks,

  • Hi, my mac has stopped playing some avi files (that used to work). I can see the video. Does anyone know why and what i can do? My version of quicktime is 7.6.9.

    Hi i have avi files saved in iphoto that i used to be able to play through quicktime. However in the last few weeks i cannot play many of these files. I can see the videos and click on them but nothing happens (i have version 7.6.9 of quicktime). Does anyone know why this has happened and what i can do about this?
    Thanks.

    What do you mean by what audio/video formats are involved? These are all files from several digital cameras.
    As previously stated, AVI is a file container. It is somewhat old and its originator, Microsoft, dropped official support of it over a decade ago. However, it remains popular with PC users since almost any valid audio and/or video compression format can be stuffed to the file which synchronizes the content by interleaving the individual audio and video frames. The compression format is the specific manner in which the audio and video data are encoded as it is placed in the AVI container. You can find the compression format by inspecting the file in the Finder "Info" window, or in the "Inspector" window of the QT player (or other media player) if the file can be opened.
    For instance, one popular compression combination would be to place DivX encoded video and MP3 audio in an AVI file container. However, neither DivX nor MP3 is natively supported by the QT player. (Although iTunes will natively support the MP3 audio.) Therefore, people who wish to play such files in the QT 7 Player would normally install either the DivX component or Perian but not both. Either installation will independently play such files in the QT Player, but if both are installed, the file will usually stop working since these two codecs can create a playback conflict.
    However, the AVI container could just as easily contain DV along with DV audio. In this case, the file should play correctly in QT since this compression format is natively supported by the basic component configuration that comes in every current OS installation. Therefore, if such files suddenly stopped playing, this could be an indication that a component has been moved or deleted or that your system or QT embedded structure has become corrupted.

  • Email attachments: whenever someone sends me a file the Ipad labels it winmail.dat and wont allow me to open it...these are Word, Exce or jpgs.  Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it?  Also, how can you save attachments to a file on the IPad2

    Is this a particular sender, or all of your attchments?  Google winmail.dat and you will see a number of returns that can explain this, but in short, this is the way some e mail providers deal with attachments.  If all of your e mail is coming that way, you need to change a setting on your isp set up.  Perhaps stary here...

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
    Audiobooks (and ringtones) are currently a one-time only download. I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them who are requiring the one-time only download restriction. To get it onto your other devices you will need to sync it via a computer. Depending upon what country that you are in, Audible.com have their own app (Audiobooks from Audible) so you might be able to buy direct from them, though I don't know whether you can buy within their app or download audiobooks directly from them within the app e.g. whether they need to be copied via a computer.

  • I made a folder in my photos tab named "private" and anytime I put something there it disappears. Anyone know why and can I access those items?

    I Made a folder in my photo tab named "Private" and every time I put something in there it disappears. Does anyone know why it does this and can I access/recover these items?

    If you put the photo in the Private folder and then delete it from the.Camera Roll it will be deleted from both places. The photo in the Private folder is not a copy. It is just a pointer to the photo stored in the Camera Roll.

  • Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with CS3 and CS6 and get the same problem. Doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

    Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with both CS3 and CS6 on 10.8.2 and get the same problem. This doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

    this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
    tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
    just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?

  • My apple tv main menu no longer displays the "movies" section, just internet, computers, and settings. Does anyone know why or how to get it back up? Recently rented a movie directly through apple tv but can't see the movies section in main menu now.

    My apple tv main menu no longer displays the "movies" section, just internet, computers, and settings. Does anyone know why or how to get it to show again? Recently rented a movie directly through apple tv but can't see the "movies" section in main menu now. WiFi and home sharing are working.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Check the location setting for the iTunes Store is correct.
    You might also try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    If you are still having problems try a restore.

  • Does anyone know why a web page would suddenly pop up telling me I have a computer virus and need to call them?  When I've called they said they needed access to my computer in order to fix the problem - which I didn't do.  Is this legit?  An Ad?

    That is not legit, it is a scam to gain access to your computer and information.
