Can't connect to MacPro after 10.5.7 update with sharing

I have an intel MacPro tower (2 x 3 Ghz Intel Xeon), a 2.5 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 17" MacBk Pro that currently connect to internet via Airport Extreme basestation, original (firmware 5.7). Internet connection works fine for both.
My problem is that I can no longer connect to my MacPro tower which is connected to the basestation via network cable, and unfortunately, all of my printers, raids, and scanners, and other stuff that I used to access remotely via VNC, and file sharing are also connected to this machine. It worked fine before I updated to 10.5.7.
Now, I see the MacPro towers icon on sharing, but it hangs when I select "Connect As", and connection fails from all other machines trying to connect, or printer share. The strange thing, is that I can connect to the other machines from the offending MacPro, just fine.
I verified and repaired permissions before update to 10.5.7.
I then connected computers via ethernet cable directly, with wireless cards disables, firewalls disabled, sharing turned on, different IP's, same Subnet mask.... Still No Joy.
Don't think it's the router, because I took it out of the equation.
I can connect directly to all other machines via ethernet cable from MacBook tower, only. Not vise-versa, which is what I want, so that I can have access to all the stuff that it's connected to.
Also, girlfriend cannot print, which is the biggest source of my headache.
My laptops basically hang and give me the -36 error. It worked fine previously (before update).
Any ideas?
Why would you be able to connect to one computer but not vice versa, when all settings are identical (except IP addresses, names, and passwords).
Thanks! You guys rock my world.

Anybody? Anybody at all have a starting point or insight? or url I can read?
Thanks!

  • TS1368 Can not connect to iTunes to purchase apps or update with iPad

    This is also the case with my iphone4s. I can not connect to iTunes at all! There's no specific error number just can not connect to iTunes. Then contact iTunes support. I have tried a few different things: clearing paused downloads in purchased area of app store (ipad2) and resetting wifi settings (ipad2) i also reset my wifi and that did no good either. Would be nice if someone knew what i needed to do to get rid of this issue I've been down for 3 days as I really can not do anything with either of my products. Thank you

    I tried that, i tried every setting i could think of and tried all the ideas posted on this site. i got it working eventually though i had to wait for ios 6 to be released then after i downloaded and installed it, it started working.
    problem over
    thank you anyway

  • Windows XP can't connect to TC after 7.4.2 update unless security is off

    I've been looking for hours through the existing threads about this issue and tried several things with no luck:
    1. reverted back to 7.4.1
    2. reverted back to 7.3
    3. soft reset my Time Capsule
    4. hard reset my Time Capsule
    5. turn wireless security off, connect the XP machine, turned wireless security back on to WPA2 Personal, tried to connect the XP machine, no joy
    6. tried to update the XP machine but it says with SP3 I'm as up to date as I can be
    My MacBook Pro connects just fine regardless of the above. So at this point I'm stumped and I have to leave my network wide open so my girlfriend can connect the XP computer to out network.
    Can anybody give me any other suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Benji, I did get the email server error message again last night around 8PM, but again the email does eventually go. Wondering if the 6PM to 9PM time frame is a busy time for Yahoo email servers and somehow our iTouch or portable devices take a lower priority? I seem to get the error only once a day now around that time, then everything seems fine again...could be a server issue.
    Still looking for a pattern with the blank white web pages when I try and view a previous web page. Seems to happen most when I look at the "iPod touch User Guide" (on the included bookmarks)...most of the other times the previous web page loads fine so....humm....
    I also had an issue with the Camera app today, the red light button and Picture/Video switch were staying dimmed...finally turned off the iTouch (holding down the Home button then pressing the Sleep/Off button on top) then turned it back on, so the iOS could reboot. That fixed the Camera app. Might want to try that too....seems like it might be a fix for a few things, especially after updating to iOS 4.2.1...

    Who can shed some light on my ongoing connection problem.
    After upgrading my iPad Air with IOS 7.06, I could no longer connect to the internet.
    I have 2 MacBooks Air, 1 ipad mini and one iPhone 4S running on the same network, and they are all connected to the net and function well.
    So I cleaned up the ipad completely, installed the latest firmware and reinstalled my apps : no connection.
    I tried all things of resets and forgets. No result.
    I have been fondling with my Airport Extreme 5 , but that did not help much.
    This morning I went to a neighbor , hooked my ipad air on his network, typed the password and the thing all worked fine.
    I have tried to connect the ipad air as an ethernet client, but that did not work. „Not enough power“ was the statement
    Ideas anyone ?

    Yes I tried this manyfold. But did not work.  Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
    Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
    Et voila.... everything is back in working order,

  • Can't connect to Internet after update

    I've had this issue before but I was atleast able to get on iTunes & firefox. After this update my comp can't connect to the Internet period. I called my cable company & everything was working fine on their end. My modem communicates that it's linked my comp by a flashing light. In network prefrences my Ethernet says connected. I do not use a wireless router. I went to the Apple store & managed to get a connection smoothly. After I did the update was when my comp was unable to connect to the Internet, firefox, safari, iTunes NOTHING. I don't have any anti virus programs on my comp.
    Help anyone?

    Anyone???? This all happened after the 10.6.8 update...at the Apple store my Internet worked fine. Once I get this resolved I'm never updating again!

  • Can not connect the iTunes Store, since the last update 2 weeks ago, iOS 6.1.2 has stopped working, help me, please ....

    can not connect the iTunes Store, since the last update 2 weeks ago, iOS 6.1.2 has stopped working, help me, please ....

    Ok, I am having literally identical issues with Marathon Max.
    I try to connect, and it says, "Itunes could not connect to the itunes store, Make sure your network connection is active and try again." I have contacted my ISP, and they ran a full check, and sayed I should be able to connect to pretty much all websites. I did the whole "ipconfig" thing and that was no help. I also tried the "msconfig" thing, and it sayed it did not recognize it as any kind of command, internal or external command or operable program or batch file. Whats strange is I can connect from another computer just fine, but when offered to upgrade itunes I declined for fear of the same thing happpening. I am tempted to just upgrade it and thus demonstrate that itunes has a flaw in their upgrade. I will save this computers diagnostics, and the other one's too, before and after the upgrade. I look forward to sending more feedback regarding this matter

  • Please! can anyone tell me if after I create a site with adobe muse, is there anyway for my client t

    Please! can anyone tell me if after I create a site with adobe muse, is there anyway for my client to edit and update text and to a lesser extent images on the website?
    I don't care if the client text/image editing and updating doesn't update in my Adobe Muse, as long as my client can update the text online.
    Please help me answer this question, I have used adobe for decades (2) and am a print designer. I want to use Muse for websites but if my clients can't update text and images, I don't see how I can make it work.
    If I have to use Business Catalist too; I don't care. I just want to be able to use this great software.
    Sorry if I soud desperate but I'm holding on starting a website for a new client and need to get this answered first.

    At the moment you can't using Muse's widgets, though you can insert html! So, you could have photo galleries linked to flickr that the client can update to, for example. I'm sure there are other options for slicker slideshows that can be updated client side!
    For text, I'm too much of a novice, unless you were wanting a blog style: http://www.muse-themes.com/blogs/news/7257782-creating-a-blog-in-adobe-muse-powered-by-nab ble
    Basically, I think you need to find the right html to embed for your purposes

  • Can i connect two monitors to my mac book pro with HDMI?

    can i connect two monitors to my mac book pro with HDMI?

    I retract my previous "No." If you can live with limited performance (slow refresh/choppy action video/no gaming) on the second external monitor, you could use a USB video adapter and a DVI-HDMI adapter to connect it to a USB port on your computer.

    Just a note about the system information that appears below your post: iOS 4.3.3 does not run on Macs, only on iPods, iPads and iPhones. When you're posting about your MBP, it would be more useful to those responding to know which version of Mac OS X you're running. Doesn't matter for purposes of this post, but something to remember for future posts.

    And more specifically ringing over Wi-Fi uses AirPrint. The printer must be compatible with AirPrint. Not all printers are.

    Hi.... Apple Support Communities...
    I used Apple MacBook Air 2014 (13 inch) series with OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 version...
    And I have a printer of Canon LBP2900...
    My problem is that, I can't connect my Canon LBP2900 printer with my new OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 version.
    My previous OS X Mavericks is working well with my Canon LBP2900 printer...
    But when I upgrade it to OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 version, my printer is not working...
    Anybody please help me how can i connect OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 version with my Canon LBP2900 printer....
    Thanking you.... Your suggestion in this regards is highly appriciate...

    Your first step would be to upgrade to Snow Leopard (10.6). To do that, you would need to purchase the Snow Leopard DVD. Following that you could determine how much further you could upgrade.
