*** Can't see one of the iMacs on my local network

I just bought a new MBP and started it up. Most of the computers on my local network are showing up as shared computers, but my iMac 27" is nowhere to be found, meaning I can't access the computer remotely and grab a file from it. Is this a setting I need to check on my new MBP or the iMac? If it's a setting, can you suggest how I make the change, so it turns up?
Thanks in advance.

You need to enable the sharing on the iMac -- the one you can't see.
System Preferences > Sharing would be the place to do it. Compare the
current settings with one of the ones you can see.

  • I have two HP printers connect but can only see one in the "soution center"

    How do I get  solution Center to recognize both printers. I'm having trouble with print cartridges in my 2170, but when I try to use solution center it only show my 6500. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    One of the reason why the printer is not showing on the solution are the software is not installed correctly and during the installation you encounter a fatal error whisch is common during installation. If its installed already you might need to uninstall and reinstall software. You can remove the printer from add/remove program. Reinstall the software and make sure that the the software is successfully installed.

  • I had 2 games of clash of clans on 1 game centre.  Now I can only see one?  How can I find the other one?

    My kids had 2 games of clash of clans on 1 game centre.  Now I can only see one?  How can I find the other one?
    My daughter set up a game centre on her ipad.  My son, on his ipad used the same game centre log in.  He then set up his own game of clash of clans.  After my son set up his Clash of Clans, my daugher set up her own Clash of Clans using the same game centre log in on her ipad.  Both were using the Clash of Clans successfully on their own ipads using the same game centre log in. 
    One day my son signed into someone elses Clash of Clans, since then he is unable to go back to his Clash of Clans and can only see his sisters.
    Please let me know if this can be resolved.
    We wish to delete my daughters Clash of Clans - as she does not use it at all.  We would like to regain access to my sons. 
    My son can visit his Clash of Clans - his clan name is 'The Big Boys'  He has a shield that is blue with a yellow lightning from top right to bottom left.  His name is Fat Poo (I know ridiculous).
    If you can help us or advise us what to do we would make my son very happy
    thanks

    Thanks for taking a stab at it: that didn't prove to be the problem. That option in the settings for tabbed browsing was not checked.
    I may be a bit behind the times: I am used to tabbed browsing showing all the tabs it possibly can, instead of just the last one. Sometimes it won't even show the last tab: I can have 15 tabs open, and not see a single tab. I've been confused by this into closing a window with lots of tabs open, because it looks like a single page-window.
    My main problem with the tab-bar flashing to the end of the row is that it means a great deal more mouse-clicking around to browse.
    I haven't tried installing the latest beta. Maybe that would fix the problem.

  • When I open an event I can only see one photo. The view option for dispaying thumbnails is greyed.

    When I open an event I can only see one photo. The view option for dispaying thumbnails is greyed. Iphoto '08 has worked perfectly for years. Suddenly it's balky~

    Have you tried moving the thumbnail size slider at the botton on the screen?

  • I have 2 libraries in iPhoto 09 but I can only see one in apple tv, the last one I viewed in I iPhoto why ?

    I have 2 libraries in iPhoto 09 but I can only see one in apple tv, the last one I viewed in I iPhoto why ?

    iTunes sees what iPhoto sees, iPhoto only sees one library at a time.
    Either merge your libraries or upload content from one of your libraries to a service such as Flickr and use the Flickr feature on the Apple TV.

    Do you have a home network?
    Personal File Sharing: You can connect Macs on a local network with Tiger’s Personal File Sharing, which allows you to mount folders from the sharing Mac on the master Mac—note that the slave Macs do the sharing; the master Mac doesn’t have to. To turn on Personal File Sharing on the slave Mac, do this:
    Open System Preferences.
    In the System Preferences window, click Sharing.
    In the Sharing pane, click Services.
    In the Select a Service to Change Its Settings list, select the Personal File Sharing checkbox.
    Now that the slave Mac has sharing turned on, you can mount it on the master Mac’s Desktop:
    In the Finder, choose Go -> Network.
    In the Network window, select the sharing Mac.
    Click Connect.
    In the Connect to Server window, click Registered User, enter the user account name and password for the sharing Mac, and then click Connect.
    In the window that appears, select the volume that contains the folder you want to sync with, and then click OK.

  • Trying to wipe the hard drive on a G5 iMac, using an external DVD drive as the one in the iMac is broken.

    I'm trying to boot up with the OS (or install) disk, from an external DVD drive as the one in the iMac is broken. When the computer boots up, my normal desktop appears, but also the Mac OSX (Tiger) install disk. When I double-click on the "Install Mac OSX" icon, a screen comes up that says: "Click the button below to restart & begin the install process". The iMac restarts, but just goes back to where it was, & I'm prompted to:  "Click the button below to restart & begin the install process".
    So far there is no way to "begin the install process", I just keep going around in circles with this. I'm doing this so I can sell the computer. I hope I've made it clear, and TIA for any advice.

    I looked at the disk utility erase option.  The wording looked a little vague.  Seemed to me to erase all the disk  including the data if you pick one pass, but I am not sure.
    but that is contradicted when you see you have to pick the correct option.

  • I can only see some of the info (e.g. the email Facebook gives you) for some friends in Contacts. I can see everything for others. Their b-days aren't listed in my Contacts (but these friends have their B-days on their profile on FB). Can anyone help?

    Hello,
    I can only see some of the information of my Facebook friends in my Contacts. For example, a friend has a birthday today. I received an email that she and another friend have birthdays this week. I received a notification on my iPhone and iPad that her birthday was today. It was never displayed in my Notification Center or Calendar beforhand, like it's displayed for other friend's (for other friends, it's displayed in the Notification Center, with the Calendar icon, 1 day before). I looked at every setting I could think of and the Help pages on Facebook. Nothing is working. My friend with the birthday today has her birthday openly listed on her Profile information on her Facebook page. In my contacts, her Facebook email (the one Facebook assigns you when you join) is listed. However her picture and birthday are not listed. I displayed my Facebook Contacts only, and roughly 20 showed up and not the rest. It's like the devices are not recognizing those people and putting their information in the respective places. I have an iPad 3rd Gen, iPhone 5, and MacBook Pro (purchased in January 2013. I hope that helps) and ALL the software updates are current. Can anyone help? Also, my MacBook cannot access my Contacts from Yahoo. Despite my typing in the correct password repeatedly as well as deleting and adding the Yahoo account again. I'd be grateful for any and all help. Thank you. 

    Step by step, how did you arrive at seeing this agreement?

  • I can only see one photo at a time

    I use to be able to see a thumbnail of all my photos. Now for some reason I can only see one photo at at a time. I have to use the scroll bar to go up and down. It is so frustrating. Please help.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    In the lower right corner of the iPhoto window is a slider. Move it to the left. Does that work?
    Regards.

  • HT5517 I cannot see my Apple TV.  I have 2 of them and can only see one.  Ideas?

    I cannot see my Apple TV with airplay.  I have 2 of them and can only see one.  Ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    Restart your mobile device.

  • When I open my apple store on the purchased items I can't see any of the apps I bought or downloaded

    Why can't I see the apps but if I click randomly on the screen I can go into one of the apps? I tried closing the iPad completely and then reopeing it it didn't work any advice on how to fix it?

    It is nothing that you are doing wrong. It is not working right now and it has been broken for about 4 days now. Look at some of the other discussions on this forum about the very same issue. There have been a number of discussions about this in the last few days. We have to wait until Apple fixes it.

    Hello,
    see >>> http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html  here >>> How many computers can I install on
    I quote: You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
    If you install on a third computer, it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers. You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.
    Good luck!
