Can't Connect to Other Mac

I have 2 macs in my house... a mac mini (pre intel) and a macbook... I've always had them networked so I could access files on either computer.. all of a sudden, I can't connect to the mini... all the settings are the same in the sharing folder... but I can't connect to the mini.. it can connect to me fine, but when i type the name and password I get this message "Unknown user, incorrect password, or login is disabled. Please type the name and password or contact the servers administrator."
But i'm doing everything right.. i type in the name of the mac which is Jennfier Burke, and i type the password.. but i keep getting that message?? whats up??

Well, what was it?

  • NAS drives grayed out and can't connect to other Macs

    Hello All,
    After upgrading my 15-inch, Mid 2010 MacBook Pro to Mavericks (10.9 13A603) my NAS storage drives are grayed out in Finder. I can't go directly to my NAS drive in Finder. I can't simply click on the NAS drives in Finder and see what is in the directory. The directories are grayed out!.
    In order for me to connect to my NAS stotage drive I have to go to "DEVICES" on the leftside of the Finder window and then click on the MacBook Pro HD. From there I have to click on "Network." From "Network" I can get a slow connection to my NAS.
    As for as connection to other Macs in my office, I have to take the same steps above. I can't connect directly to the other Macs in my office in Finder. Nether can the other Macs connect to other Macs! All Macs in the office are set up to allow both AFP and SMB. However, one lonely 2009 iMac in our office is still on Mountian Lion and it can connect to other Macs and the our NAS without problems.
    One strange things this, I can do a Screen Share to the other Macs from my 2010 MacBook Pro! I can't connect directly in Finder, but I can do a Screen Share. Strange!
    Is there a fix for this or was Marverick let out the jungle to earily?
    Help! and Thanks!

    I forgot to add that everything was previously connected via an Airport express wireless system. I just got an Airport Extreme system which hasn't changed things a bit.

  • Can't connect to other Macs from MBP

    I have a 2.4 SR MBP that I cannot connect to other macs in our house including an 2.0 MBP and a Mac Pro. I can see them in the shared computers but they won't connect. I have all of the computers set up the exact same way on sharing. I'm even setting it up now that all users can connect. Any thoughts?

  • Can not connect to other macs on the network.

    Hi,
    I am having an issue with a G5 Tower running 10.5.8 failing to connect to other macs on the network. I try to connect to our xserver and any other mac I get an error message that reads ‘EMSG_CONNECTION_FAILED’.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Many thanks in advance,
    pvteyes99 

    Turns out the 'node' on the hub had failed completely, ethernet cable was OK.

  • Can't connect to other mac on network

    I have three MacBook Pros on my WiFi network - two are late 2011 models running Lion (one is mine and one is my husband's) and a late 2014 model running Yosemite.
    I have File Sharing turned on on all three computers and they all have shared folders showing in the panel. 
    Both Lion computers can connect to my Yosemite computer, the Yosemite computer can connect to my husband's Lion computer, but neither he from his Lion computer nor I from my Yosemite computer can connect to my Lion computer. 
    Why would that be?  I get the message "There was a problem connecting to the server "myOldMac'sName". The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and they try again."
    But... I can see my Lion computer in the sidebar of a Yosemite finder window, along with my husband's Lion computer and the rest of my Shared devices, but it just won't connect.  I have restarted more than once.
    Any ideas anyone?

    how can i connect my 2008 mac book pro to a tv?

    The Mini-DVI to DVI adapter is designed for the iMac (Intel Core Duo), MacBook, and 12-inch PowerBook G4 — allowing you to connect to an external DVI monitor. It can also be used in combination with the Apple DVI to ADC adapter to support older Apple flat panel Studio or Cinema Displays.

    Composite is analogue with one connector. That is why it is called composite
    Component is analogue with three connections. I think one for each color
    Here is the one for component. I misread composite for component

    Hi there Rlong50,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

    Every Mac Mini has a USB port. Every Mac Mini can run iTunes. The only catch is that you need to be running Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) or later. So in general, yes, an iPad can connect to a Mac Mini.

  • Can't see the other Mac on the network

    I have a iMac G5 and a MacBook Pro connected via wirelss at home. Sometimes I can't see the other Mac in the Network folder, however I can connect to the other Mac (even I can't see them in the network folder) by afp the IP address via Safari... I have enabled the "personal file sharing" option in both of the machine.
    Help please.
    Samuel

    Sam,
    I've had the same problems numerous times myself: the other Macs don't show in the network folder. Why? I'm not too sure myself, I've been given several possible explanations by the geniouses in San Francisco. However, the best trick to connect is via the Finder 'Go to' menu. The very last item should say something like "Connect to server..." -which is the same as the 'Command-K' combination of keys. That'll bring up a list of the last few servers on the network, and al you have to do is choose the one you want, and voilà!
