Can't see folders on pc that is networked to macs

I have my pc showing up on my mac but I can't see any folder from my macs on my pc. My pc found the shared printer but says its offline even though its not. I think it sees it as being plugged into the printer itself as the printer software is installed on the pc. the printer is plugged into my mac mini. both macs show up on the pc network map along with printer although it doesn't specify make or model of the macs just ip address and mac address. I am running windows vista on an acer with a Linksys WRT54G2 wireless router. The pc is networked wirelessly and the two macs, the other a G4 on tiger are routered through ethernet.

There is a neat app that explains almost everything you want to know about using Macs. The main one is in the Finder's Help menu, it is called Mac Help. And almost all Apple apps have a specific one to that app in their own Help menu.
If you go to the Finder and select Mac Help, after it opens click Index. Next click S, then click *Sharing Printers*. You will find a walk through description on sharing your printer with Windows computers. There are two ways to do it; one using Bonjour for Windows, the other using SMB/CIFS.
If you return to S in the Index and choose *Sharing Files*, there are two walk through descriptions; +Setting up a Mac computer to share files with Windows users+, and +Setting up a Windows computer to share files with Mac users+.

    Turning off Home Sharing would seem the most logical step.

  • How can I see the PC on my local network

    How can I see the PC on my local network. With Leopard installed I see the others Mac on the network but ot the PC. But the PC see me. What happen and How I can resolve that.

    Have you tried connecting to the PC via the Finder's "Connect to Server…" and used the IP address?
    It would be smb://server.ip.address/sharename
    Do you have the workgroup set up in the network preferences for the service that you are connected to your LAN with.
    There is also a problem on Leopard where the workgroup doesn't stay set, so if that is the case, you need to duplicate the service (ethernet, airport, etc) and use the duplicate. You can then remove the original.

  • I can't see two of my internal drives on my mac pro?

    I can't see two of my internal drives on my mac pro?  Any idea's or suggestions on how I can see them again.  They were working last week just fine - Now they don't even show up in the finder? I have video stored on one and the other is just used for extra storage if needed - not really used much.

    A drive that will not show BOTH its Make&Model AND a reasonable Size/capacity in Disk Utility has failed.
    IF Disk Utility can see those things, use (Repair Disk) to attempt to repair its Directory. It takes about five minutes. If it finishes in 10 seconds, it just repaired the Partition Map and nothing else. Select the Macintosh_HD or whatever you renamed the Volume, and (Repair Disk) again.

  • I have an iphone 4s.  I have a mac computer and a pc.  Most of my itunes library is on my pc, but when I try to add music to my phone from my library on the pc, it won't let me do it.  I CAN add music from my library that is on my mac, same account.

    I have an iphone 4s.  I have a mac computer and a pc.  Most of my itunes library is on my pc, but when I try to add music to my phone from my library on the pc, it won't let me do it.  I CAN add music from my library that is on my mac, same account.  My husband has the same problem with his iphone 4, but only uses pc.

    My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine.  We always manually manage our music (no auto sync).  iTunes is up to date on the PCs.  My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines.  He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4.  I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s.  How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?
    Thanks

    What startup file? There are dozens. Why do you wish to do this. If you don't know what you are doing then you risk damaging your installation.
    If you are referring to the preference files used, they can be read by any text editor and are located in /Library/Preferences/SystemComfiguration/ folder.

  • LabVIEW file browser can't see folders

    I am using LabVIEW 7.0 on Sparc Solaris 2.6.  I am using NFS to serve folders from a RHEL5 linux server.  These folders contain my LabVIEW code, and I am mounting them on my Sparc Solaris workstation.  When I open the LabVIEW file browser, some folders and files (but not all) appear to be missing.  LabVIEW will open the files no problem if I type in the complete path.  For example, when I navigate to directory A, there should be SubdirA and SubdirB, but SubdirB does not show up in the file browser.  Yet, if I just type SubdirB in the text box, I can navigate to this directory no problem.  Using my terminal, I can view these folders without issue.  When I use the file browser on nedit, hotjava, tedit, image viewer, etc. I do not have this problem.  It is only the LabVIEW file browser that has the problem.  Can anyone tell me what this could be, and if there is anything I can do to fix it?

    Solaris workstation hostname: stealth3
    Linux server hostname: linux1
    Shared (through NFS) folder directory on linux1: /share/ims_programs
    mounted (through NFS) directory on stealth3: /mnt/ims_programs
    The /mnt/ims_programs folder contains two subdirectories: production and certification.  When using ls from the command line, both subdirectories are visible.  In the same way, the file browser for graphical applications like nedit, tedit, hotjava, etc. can see both subdirectories.  The LabVIEW file browser does not show one of the two.  As best as I can remember, it showed certification but not production.  Descending into the file structure, there are many cases like this, where existing files or folders are "hidden".  When the exact same directory structure is copied to a Solaris server and shared with NFS, the LabVIEW browser can see everything.

  • Can't see folders shared on Leopard MacBook Pro

    I am trying to enable file sharing on my 10.5.2 MBP. When I do so, the other Macs on my network (all 10.5.2) can see the MBP but when you click on it in Finder they can't see all of the folders that I am trying to share. I am trying to share the Public folder for my account and it does not show up on the other machines. I added the shared folder in /Users/Shared with the same settings and the other machines can see this folder but still not the ~/Public folder for my account.
    I've enabling filesharing as well as allowing guests to access shared folders (in Accounts). I've also verified that in the File Sharing configuration that I have set my account, the "Users" group, and the "Everyone" group all to Read & Write for the ~/Public folder that I want to share. I've also enabled "Share Files using AFP" in the Options area. I've even tried to "Repair file permissions" with the Disk Utility.
    I was able to set up file sharing on the other Macs and I can see all of the shared directories fine from this MBP. What am I missing that is causing this problem for files shared from the MBP??

    The following instructions apply to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. I don't use Lion and don't know whether these procedures are any different in Lion.
    Open the Displays pane of System Preferences. Click the Help button ("?" at lower right corner) and read the information in the Help window for background information.
    Click the Detect Displays button. A preference pane should appear on each of the two screens.
    Click the Arrangement tab and uncheck the checkbox for Mirror Displays.
    Click the Display tab on each screen in succession and set the resolution for each screen to the highest available setting.
    Click the Arrangement tab again and drag the rectangles representing the two screens into the physical relationship you prefer. This will govern how you move the cursor and your open windows, icons, etc., from one screen onto the other.
    Drag the white line representing the menu bar onto whichever screen you want it to appear on.
    Another option, in which you use only the external display and the MacBook Pro's display is closed, is called Clamshell Mode. That is described in this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131
    It requires that you have an external USB or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and that your MBP is plugged into AC power.

  • How can I see a calendar item that was in my backup

    I did a full backup at home of my 8330 with BB Desktop Software a week ago.
    But I accidentally left my phone in the office and can't retrieve it until Monday.
    The data I need is in one calendar entry in the backup. How can I see it? I don't own Outlook or Office.
    I can't figure out where to start.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Not easily, as the backups are intended to restore to the BlackBerry device, not be viewed and/or edited on the PC.
    Try to find ABC Amber IPD Converter software for your PC. It can read your backup IPD files and save to Excel or another PC file format.

  • Itunes can't see the Airport Express that I'm connecting to... Wierd

    I have my AE set up as a WAP on an ethernet system. I have iTunes over ethernet selected, but now my wireless box can't see the AE even though I'm sending this note over the AE. Does selecting iTunes over ethernet disable the iTunes over wireless?
    The AE is connected to a router, so it is not distributing IP addresses.
    I guess that I should also mention that it's preventing me from seeing other machines on the network and sharing my library.
    Help??

    Unless you've explicitly disabled "Distribute IP addresses" using Airport Admin Utility, your Express is set up as a router and is distributing IP addresses, which is consistent with the fact that you can't see the other machines.

  • Can't see any shared devices within my network, only devices that aren't in my network.

    One of my students updated to Mavericks. Since then she hasn't been able to see shared devices on our network, most importantly, our Mac server that we use for file storage. We're in a protected wireless network that only people from our department can sign in to. She can however see a couple of dozen computers from outside of our network, but nothing from within ours.
    I deleted the entry for our wireless network in the Keychain, thinking that maybe a setting within it got corrupted. Didn't resolve the issue.
    Any ideas?

    It's worth double checking the device is on the correct network.
    See if the IP address is correct for the network range and you see the correct router etc. Bonjour is a broadcast service, so it doesn't usually cross networks and subnets unless that has been configured to do so.
    It could be that another remembered network is being used instead of the protected one.
    If you can open Terminal you can try flushing the local cache…
    dscacheutil -flushcache
    You can also see if she has 'mdns' records for your server (assuming afp is running) via …
    dns-sd -B _afpovertcp
    You will need to hit ctrl+c to exit this tool.
    Bonjour Browser is easier to use to see records, but it would need installing.
