Can't see "Shared" folder

I've followed the steps of tuning on Home Sharing on my two Mac computers (27 inch iMac and a new Mini Mac), but the "Shared" folder isn't displaying in the lefthand menu section of Itunes. I have a local WiFi network setup and working using Airport Extreme. I can surf the web okay on either machine.
But not sure what to do next with regards to this problem.
I also purchased an AppleTV 2 about 6 months ago, and have never been able to use Home Sharing on that either. I've tried numerous times to work out what the problem is but no success.

I finally solved the problem on my system by switching both computers on AirPort Extreme from the "Guest Network" to the WPA Personal Network.

HT201317 I created a folder in my photostream on my iphone but I can not see the folder on my iPad 1. My wife does see the folder on her iPad 3. Is there anything I can do for my older iPad?

If you created an album containing some of your photo stream photos, this will not be shared using photo stream. If you want to share a subset of your photos, create a shared photo stream and share it with your wife, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99.

How can I see shared pc with firewall set to allow only essential services?

How can I see shared pc with firewall set to allow only essential services?
So far if I set it as above then shared does not show up? I have to set the firewall to set access to specific applications and services to get access to my windows based hard drive.

Ok I solved it myself. Not an ideal solution as I have to connect it manually each time but it will do... Unless anyone has a way to have it auto connect when I start the mac.

Can't see Shared icon

Hi,
I have latest updates installed on my Macbook and iPad, but can't see Shared icon. I have tried to search for answer, but it helped not much. I'm new with this "sharing" stuff. I have Home Sharing turned on, but seem to have the same issue like some others, that no Shared icon is visible.
Also, strangely enough, when syncing, most of the apps from iPad have been removed, so I see them in Apps section in iTunes on my Mac, but they are no longer on iPad.
Any help please?
Michal

Although that was a very helpful hint that I can in fact play Mac's iTune Music on iPad without syncing, it's not solving my primary issues, which are:
1. I bought some music via iTunes on iPad and I can't get them to Mac, because that Shared label is not present in my Mac iTunes
2. I want some of my Mac iTunes music to sync to iPad anyway, because I want to play it also when not being on home share network.
3. When I synced iPad, many apps have been removed from it and are not there anymore, but appear in Mac's iTunes in that Apps section under iPhone, iPod touch and iPad Apps, but are not below in iPad Apps - I don't know how to get them back to iPad and how to prevent this to happen again
These are maybe trivial questions, but I wasn't able to find answers and don't have so much time to search more.
Thanks.

Printing From iBook To Printer on Vista Desktop, Can't see shared printers

Printing From iBook To Printer on Windows Vista Desktop, Can't see shared printer on a Vista machine from a Mac, although Windows notebooks find it immediately.
I have previously always had success sharing printers on Windows XP machines with my iBooks. . However upon installing Vista RC1 on my desktop I find I can no longer find the printer in the Mac's printer setup utility. When I dual boot back to XP everything works fine, but on the same machine when I boot into Vista I am unble to see the printers. The Mac printer setup utility finds the Vista machine on the network, but the printers are never visible. Is their some secret or channge in Vista that prevents Mac's running , in my case,Tiger 10.4.8 from seeing a shared printer on a computer running Vista
On the Vista machine, if I boot into XP The printer is shared and Windows notebooks can print to it, but neither of my iBooks can see the Printers when Vista is running.

That might have been the situation for the beta's and first RC's, but I have a final build. Plus the fact that other Windoze notebooks see the printer on the Vista box just fine leads one to believe it is a mac/Vista specific issue.
If anyone actually has experience with a MAC and Vista , I would appreciate hearing from you.
thanks,

I can't see "shared" on sidebar... everything is checked though

everything is in place for my home sharing however i can not see "shared" on my mac laptop but i can see it on my pc desktop

Hi Mariah ~
It's Shaunn, the original poster. Thanks for your posting. I'm glad I'm not the only one that's having this problem.
Now that you mention it, I'm having the exact same problem on Facebook as well, when I play Family Feud.
I wish someone would investigate and post a solution to this problem. No-one from Playlist has responded, and no-one "Officially" from Firefox either.
So Mariah, I appreciate you and your post.
If you find anything out...from anywhere...would you please let me know. You can post it right here and I'll get an email from Firefox.
I'll do the same for you.
Enjoy your day and good luck.
Shaunn

Can't see shared folders with AFP protocol

Hi,
I have an home network, with 2 iMac and a Netgear (DG834PN) router.
When I try to share a folder with AFP protocol (Preferences > Sharing > Sharing documents),
I can't see it from other computer.

Just to dig in deeper with this. I'm having a similar problem (perhaps the same) as described above.
I'm using smbnetfs to mount a folder in my home directory to be my network neighbourhood. When I open it in pcmanfm I can see the work groups, and upon opening a workgroup it'll show nothing more. But in fact, when you open the terminal and do a ls -a you'll notice there are in fact folders corresponding to your computers in that workgroup. Browsing any further works flawlessly.
It's however a minor annoyance that pcmanfm doesn't seem to show them (you can however add a slash to your navigation bar and they'll show up there, rather weird). Has anyone found a way to solve that?

WIndows XP/Vista can not recognize shared folder on Mac running Leopard

Hi,
I have problem with sharing file from my Mac running Leopard to my Windows machine (running XP and Vista). I follow the instruction on this website. http://lifehacker.com/software/mac-os-x-leopard/leopard-simplifies-networking-31 7033.php
My Windows machine 'see' the Mac. When i double-click or press enter on the Mac comp icon on my windows machine, I do not get any confirm box to enter username and password. Instead, I am allowed to view the content which is empty ( although I enabled some shared folder on my Mac)
Any suggestion to solve the problem pls .

If your Mac Pro has FileVault on, your Windows XP machine will not be able to access the files, as FileVault disables SMB and printer sharing for Windows XP clients.
In case FileVault is not on, you could try temporarily disabling the Windows firewall and the anivirus and/or internet security suite on the WinPC, and see whether it can access the files on your Mac Pro.
Good Luck.

Can't Create Shared Folder

I can not seem to create a shared folder. What am I doing wrong?
I select the "Sharing" tab and program displays "Connecting to Library" (retrieving latest shared activity) for several minutes and then displays a button "Start Sharing". Depressing the button brings up a window to enter a "Shared Album Name". To (list of who to share it with), and an optional comment box,
If a provide a name (Photos), and provide a "To", then when I press "Create" the screen just goes back to "Start Sharing"
Help, please

I figured it out. It's odd though. It was allowing me to see and operate the folders on the MBP using an older username from one of my prior OSs. My new Mavericks username is different than whet the permissions on the MBP were set to. Once I set up permissions on the MBP using the username that appears on my iMac Mavericks' in the User folder, it allowed me to create the folder. Strange though that it would let me connect and share without the new username.
NOT SOLVED. . It still doesnt work. I mistakenly created the folder in my own User Music folder on the iMac by mistake

[HELP!] Can't access shared folder from Azure Web Role on same Azure Virtual Network

I have an Azure Virtual Network that has a virtual machine acting like an app server running some legacy applications that is writing some files to a folder that is shared.
This shared folder is accessible from other virtual machines within that virtual network without issue.
The problem I am having is that I have an Azure Web Role that is also attached to the above
Azure Virtual Network that is unable to access the shared folder. I know the web role can see the app server as it is able to ping the IP of the machine.
There is some code that needs access to the shared folder to process some of the files that is stored there, but the code won't run because it can not access these files. I used Remote Desktop to see if I could ping the machine, and I can, but I cannot navigate
to the path in file explorer due to access being denied.
Can anyone offer any advice or tips to point me in the right direction to gain access to this shared folder from my Azure Web Role?

Hi Robert,
Thanks for your posting!
Form your descirpiton, I suggest you can refer to Tom Zhang's solution via this
link:
1. Enable Remote Desktop. (You have done this step)
    2. RDP to one instance of your service. Open up IIS Manager and set the application pool identity to use the account that we used for RDP.
    3. On on-premise local machine, right click "My Computer' and select "Manage". Add a new account with the same account name and password as we specified for Remote Desktop.
    4. Give the new account necessary permissions to write file to the shared folder. (I think you have done this step too)
    5. Try running the code again and see if it works.
    6. If it still says "access to path <folder path located on local machine> is denied". Please check the permission of the shared folder again.
    7. If it works, then the next step is to configure the application pool identity using Startup Task instead of using Remote Desktop (See the suggestion inhttp://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsazuresecurity/thread/247ba75e-87d9-497c-9ec6-1fd4e2c7ff90).
But I still recommend you enable Remote Desktop for your web role to check if the Startup Task has successfully configured the application pool identity or not.

Will

I can't see shared printers from a Mac with Leopard

Hi there we got a new MacPro that came with Leopard but when I want to add the printers shared by two old Macs it can't see them, it only find and HP Color LaserJet 2600n that was shared on a Mac Book. The other Macs has OSX 10.3.9 (a G5) and 10.3 (a G4), one share a HP LaserJet 1200 and the other an Epson Inkjet Printer. We also have a MacPro (a core 2 duo) with OSX 10.4 that can find all the printers.
I was wondering if the version of the old Macs has something to do with my problem, maybe the Leopard can't reach them or something like that.
Thanks
PERCY

Have a look at this article from Apple
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306984
It covers the issues with Leopard seeing printers shared by 10.3.

Need help with sharing - Can't see shared playlist

I have my songs on a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit computer. I turned on home sharing and selected a playlist to be shared. I'm trying access the shared content on a Windows XP and a Vista machine, but I cannot see the shared playlist. The Vista machine can see the shared content from the XP machine though. For a brief moment, I saw the shared playlist on the Vista machine, but when I clicked on it, there was nothing there. Then it disappeared. All 3 computers have been on for hours with iTunes running. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with Windows 7. Maybe there's some network setting I need to change. I can access files on my Windows 7 machine from the XP machine. Same with the Vista machine. So the home network seems to be working fine. Thanks in advance.

I've narrowed it down to Windows 7's firewall. When I disable the firewall on my Windows 7 machine, I can access the shared content. When I enable the firewall, sharing immediately stops working. I checked to confirm that iTunes is on the allowed list of Windows Firewall.

Windows XP PC can't see shared files on Mac

Our Mac Pro running OS X 10.5.8 can access all the shared folders on our Windows XP PC. In addition, all our other Macs can access the shared folders on our Mac Pro.
However - the XP PC cannot access any shared folders on the Mac Pro!
Any ideas how to fix this situation, and allow the XP PC to access our Mac Pro's shared folders?

If your Mac Pro has FileVault on, your Windows XP machine will not be able to access the files, as FileVault disables SMB and printer sharing for Windows XP clients.
In case FileVault is not on, you could try temporarily disabling the Windows firewall and the anivirus and/or internet security suite on the WinPC, and see whether it can access the files on your Mac Pro.
Good Luck.

Can't see shared photo streams in Aperture

I have created a number of photo streams and shared them with my wife.
My wife has accepted the streams and can see them on her iPhone.
She uses Aperture on the Mac but cannot see the streams there.
She has the three checkboxes on the photo streams tab checked, and her own photo stream is visible.
Under the web section in the Aperture library browser, photo stream doesn't appear - her Facebook entry shows up, but not photo stream.
Photo stream shows in the recent section of the library browser, but that is just the photos in my wife's own photo stream, you don't see the individual streams that I can see under photo stream under web in my Aperture view.
My wife has photo stream checked in settings -> iCloud on her Mac.
Any suggestions?

I attach four screenshots Yann - one is the project hierarchy - where you'll see PhotoStream appearing in Recent items, but not under the Web section (where you do see Facebook) and the other the preferences pane for PhotoStream in Aperture showing all three boxes checked.
Attachments one and two are from my wife's computer - where she's not seeing shared PhotoStreams.
Attachments three and four are from my computer - we I do see them.
What I notice when I compare these side by side is that there is a difference in the setting panel for photo stream between the two. Mine has a fourth option for shared photo streams - my wife's doesn't.
Yet both s/w versions for Aperture are 3.4.5. There is a difference in what is listed in the Aperture version after the version number, but both computers are fully up to date with no further updates available. (Final two images first my wife's then my s/w version)
Is your view/settings any different?

Can't see shared printer with IOS 6 on ipad 3rd generation

I just upgraded my 3rd generation ipad to iOS 6.0 and now it won’t see the shared printers at my office. The printers are shared on a Mac mini server running OS X Server Lion 10.7.4. I can still see the shared printers and can print to them from a 3rd generation ipad with iOS 5.1.1.
Does anyone know what apple changed with iOS 6.0 that makes it where the shared printers aren’t showing up and what I might need to do to get them back working on my ipad with iOS 6.0?
Thanks -

iOS printing to a non-AirPrint printer is not supported. There's more information here: AirPrint 101
If you had iOS printing working through yout OS X Server then you must have had another piece of software running in the server emulating AirPrint. That software isn't compatible with iOS 6.
