Can't mount volume in shared network

I'm trying to network my Mac so that I can access my PC Win XP.
I can see the name of the pc computer in the finder, under shared.
It is even already listed when I go to Go-Connect to Server.
But when I click Connect button I get a message that says, "Volume could not be Mounted."
I have the Win XP computer name right so I don't know why it won't mount.
Any ideas why this could be happening? I know I'm probably missing an obvious
step but I don't know what it is.
thank you!!

Forgot to mention that I can access my Mac from the PC, but not the PC from the Mac.
Also, when I try to connect to the PC from the Mac via Connect To Server in the Go menu,
it says that the Volume cannot be mounted because the original can't be found.
I don't know why it's saying this because I thought the volume was the original but it tells me
that it's an alias. I don't know why it says it's an alias.
Anyone?
thanks!!

  • Can't mount volume in obt1 - device offline

    Hi,
    I am trying to mount my tape volume in Manage: Drives, but keep getting the error:
    can't mount volume in obt1 - device offline
    OK, so the volume is offline, but my question is how can i get it online? Anyone have any ideas?
    thx.
    S.

    The error device offline refers to the tape device not volume. When the device is "in service" it should be able to mount the volume.
    In EM, go to the devices page. Insure that the library and drives have a status of "in service" which means the device is logically available to Oracle Secure Backup.

  • ITunes 11 can't share on "home sharing" network

    I just downloaded iTunes 11 and now I can't import songs from a computer on my "home sharing" network.  There is no way to drag a title to import it.  What is my problem?

    I was having this problem to. I could see part the contents of the library I wanted to import from. Switched off Home Sharing and Switched it back on again. Then I found two ways to achieve the import.
    1) Turn on View Sidebar, Then you can see the other library in the lefthand pane as in itunes 10. Select the items you want and click on the import button in the righthand bottom cornee.
    2)In the interface without the sidebar there is a drop down select box to allow you to select Music, Movies, TV shows etc. At the bottom the shares available to you are shown click on the one you want. Then select the type of content ie Music Movies etc select the items you want and click on the import button at the bottom right.
    Hope this helps

  • Can't mount volume

    i've got a second hard drive and in doing some copying and the program coming to some error and crashing (no error reported, but it was while using Carbon Copy Cloner and after the copying was finished.
    The disk was showing issues and Disk Repair in Disk Utility said it had a Volume Header error that it couldn't fix. when I have the drive in, I can't even boot up (even though it's not my startup drive) It just sits at a blank, gray screen (as if it's about to show the dark gray apple logo and spinning busy thing at the bottom, but it doesn't.
    Sounds like this volume header error is causing the problem, but I dont have a clue on hwo to fix it, since I can't even mount the thing.
    What if I was able to boot up with the drive's IDE and power plugged in, but the computer won't try to mount it. Instead, I'll mount it using diskutil at the command line. Maybe if I can mount the correct partition, it will 'ignore' the boot partition and I can get it mounted as a temp fix? I just don't know the /dev/xyz path
    EDIT: this kind of makes sense to me... if i can go into single user mode on the good drive, plug the second drive in and then manually mount it. if it works, i can run fsck. thoughts?

    I tried your advice and some other things. Here's what I've come up with:
    - both hard drives work
    - both can be mounted, but NOT AT THE SAME TIME
    - having both connected (physically) at startup causes the computer to hang at the gray screen and never displaying anything more (no apple logo either). there's a little pin beside where the IDE cable goes in, and both drives are properly connected as Master w/ Slave and Slave, respectively.
    - i can boot into both. in order to make the volume on the 2nd drive, i just had it archive the OS on there and replace it off my OS X cd. I told it to keep the user data for the new installation, but when i got to the login screen, no usernames worked. by default, the clue option wasn't on, so i couldn't even see if it somehow had an old copy of the password file (although i would think that's a stretch)
    The only other info I think I've left out is that the second drive's volume still has its original name, so it's not like it somehow got to become literally an exact duplicate of the original, first hard drive's volume (initially, i wondered if that was the case and that the computer thought it was trying to mount the same volume from two locations)

  • IVPN on non OSX Server, can't mount volumes remotely via VPN

    I recently got iPVN to create a VPN to my home network. My router simply couldn't be used as an end-point.
    I have successfully installed it, and it does allow me to connect to my home network remotely. The problem is, whenever I try to mount a volume from a machine within my home network, I am prompted for a userid/password. My userid/password doesn't work.
    Setup:
    Home network using private Class C (192.168.1.x). 2009 MacMini is VPN server, and address is manually assigned for this machine (other machines within home network use router as DHCP server). I have forwarded ports 1701, 4500 and 500 (per iVPN instructions) for an L2TP VPN. UDP packets only, and all of these ports are forwarded to the MacMini and it's manually assigned address. My router is configured to use DynDNS if it's address changes, and that works successfully as well (using other services directly to the same MacMini, etc. that DO NOT rely on the VPN).
    I can successfully connect to the VPN, and ping machines within the home network successfully. However, I do not see any of the machines via Bonjour (I understand this is an issue with Bonjour and generally all VPNs). So, once connected to the VPN, I try to mount a volume that is shared on the MacMini. I can do this with either form:
    afp://192.168.1.x/<volumename> or afp://<machinename>/<volumename> (after setting machine name up in /etc/hosts).
    I'm fairly certain I'm getting through, and a mount is attempted, and asks for a userid/password. Same as normal. However, entering my username/password won't let me mount the drive. I keep getting errors indicating the username/password is incorrect, which I know is not the case.
    I have tried this with the MacMini firewall on (allowing shared service), and I have tried it with the MacMini firewall off.
    What am I missing here? Some additional port that should be forwarded? Open it up for TCP as well as UDP?

    I have found a work around that meets my imediate needs, though it doesn't allow me to use autofs functionality.
    The work around uses the traditional Unix/Linux approach of automatically mounting a file system or NFS share via fstab at boot time. OS X 10.8 still supports fstab, even though the file is not included in the default installation.
    Once mounted, the NFS share appears as if it is part of the normal file system.
    The following is only intended for people confident in Unix or Linux systems administration and in using a shell environment via the command line. Do not attempt this if you do not have these skills.
    To set up for fstab, do the following within a terminal session:
    create an empty directory in your file system that you can use as your mount point for your NFS share:
    sudo mkdir /data/share
    sudo chown root:wheel /data/share
    using your favourite editor, create the fstab file (in a terminal type 'man fstab' for details)
    sudo vi /etc/fstab
    add similar to the following to /etc/fstab and then save and exit, substituting your own values where appropriate
    # My NFS share
    <your-server>:/<your-share> /data/share nfs  resvport,rw,hard,intr 0 0
    sudo chown root:wheel /etc/fstab
    Please note: you may not need the resvport option in the fstab line above. It will depend on your NFS server's requirements.
    Once you have done this, reboot your Mac and your NFS share should be mounted at the mount point that you defined.
    If not, check your logs to see what went wrong.

  • Help. Can't see Volume in My Network folder!!!!!!

    Hi all,
    I have a 7 G5s and 1 G4 computer, of which I upgraded to 10.4 from 10.3.9. I have updated all OS to 10.4.6. I have 2 small hubs with which I network the computers and 2 printers.
    All but 1 G5 can see and access the Public folder of each computer. In each of the Public folder, I have a FULL ACCESS folder, to which you can read and write, along with the default Drop Box.
    I have a problem with one of the G5s, when I try to connect to the *problem computer* from another G5, I cannot see the VOLUME in the *SELECT THE VOLUMES TO MOUNT* window. I can see the problem computer in the *My Network* folder, but not the VOLUME when I connect. *+I had no problems before I upgraded.+*
    From the troubled computer, I can see and connect to all other computers on the network. I have not changed any settings on this or any of the other computers. Actually, I have no problem with none of the other computers, of which all can copy files between each other.
    Has anyone ever seen this problem? It's really wierd since only one computer has the problem and all were upgraded the same time.
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance
    Willis

    Several things you can try on that one G5...
    Repair Permissions, (good idea after any upgrade).
    Try from the Finder's Go Menu, Connect to Server, then type in afp://ip.of.other.g5
    In Finder>Preferences, toggle off the Sidebar>Show Network Icon, reboot and tirn it back on.
    More to try, but let's see if any of these help.

  • Can't mount volumes

    Hi all,
    Last day, i had to disconnect my both external hard drives (firewire 800), so i eject them with finder, then i disconnect them. Both disk were there only to save datas all nights.
    But when i repluged them, they are not on finder, even if "disk utility" tells me that bith disk were mounted. I try to unmount and to mount them once, but they are still not on the finder. But Tri-Backup can saves data on them...
    How can i show them on finder plz ?
    PS : sry for my bad english speaking, as you could see, i am not english or american

    Well,
    i ve an Xserve running 10.4.9 server, with an internal Raid 5 (with a PCI internal raid card). From this raid, i ve 4 partitions. On one of these four, i ve my system installed.
    Then, on both Firewire 800, i ve 2 external hard drive, used only to save all Data from the four partitions of the Raid 5 (Save with Tri-Backup)
    So i usually can see on my Desktop 6 "volumes".
    The issue start when i had to unplugg my 2 externals hard drive. When i plugged them back, they didn't appears on the desktop but i could see them in "Disk Utility". i tried to mount them with this application, but they still not appear on desktop. But the Save can be done on them with Tri-Backup.
    The second issue, appear next day, cause i just verify my Raid disk with "disk utility", so the application unmount partitions to verify them. But partitions didn't mount on desktop after this test, even if the test was all OK.
    So now, i can only see the System partition on the desktop. All other disk have disappeared. But i think it s just a display issue in Finder, cause all disk seems to work good. I can see them with Disk Utility, Tri-backup, and Terminal to (with command "ls /volumes")

  • Can't see files on shared network computer - help...

    I have an iMac with OS 10.6.3 and am using a Linksys router. I cannot connect wirelessly to it (another issue), but I am hardwired via an Ethernet connection. My PC netbook is connected wirelessly to the router. Via Finder, I see the name of my PC, but I cannot view any of the shared files. File Sharing is turned on. Is there anything I should be checking on the Mac to be able to do this? thx.

    In Finder try the 'Connect to Server' option in the 'Go' drop down list, Put the IP address or the FQDN of the PC if it has one. eg.
    smb://192.168.1.15/sharename
