Cannot access a shared folder in TC with Windows XP

I have a Windows XP machine that has a network share to the time capsule. Basically, when I click on it, the folder opens as expected and displays the same contents that I see on my mac. But when I click on a shared folder within the TC folder, there are no contents in the folder - but actually there are hundreds of files within that folder.
I installed Bonjour on the XP machine, but it appears to be a printing application or something? plz help - it will save me headache.

How did you put this shared folder onto the TC?
If you copy a file/folder to the TC manually (drag&drop), any computer with access to the TC will be able to read it. I don't think an XP machine will be able to use a folder that was backed up to the TC using Time Machine.
If you manually copied the file/folder, and still can't access it from the XP machine, make sure that you've set the "workgroup" in the TC setup to be the same as the workgroup on the XP PC. Default for XP is Mshome. Also make sure that sharing is set to "read/write".
Have you tried connecting to the TC by clicking my computer/my network places/windows network/workgroup/time capsule, rather than using a network share?

Cannot access a shared folder Error code: 0x80070035

Hello Experts,
I have been working on this issue for like three days without a solution. I am truly desperate.
My company just purchased a new Cloud Server that we will use as our development environment for a software project. In order for all the developers (which are all over the US) to access the development environment, we need to have a few shared folders on
that new server.
As soon as we got the server I did the following:
1) Installed Active Directory
2) Created a directory and made it shared - yes IT IS shared.
3) I created a few new users on the new active directory domain
THE PROBLEM:
I can't access the shared directory.
Other developers have been successful in connecting to the shared folder (so the share is working) - all except me.
when I open explorer and type \\IPADDRESS\SHAREDFOLDER instead I get this error (I am not even asked for credentials)
Network Error
Windows cannot access \\IPADDRESS\SHAREDFOLDER
Error code: 0x80070035
The network path was not found.
Things I have already tried:
a) Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP - on all adapters - still did not help
b) Disable IPv6 - I am not sure how to check if it truly disabled
c) Turned off all firewalls - did not help
d) Mapping a Drive using different credentials - I just get asked for credentials over and over
e) Ping - yes I can see the server
f) My credentials are correct because I can Remote Desktop with the credentials with no problem ( I am administrator)
My Machine:
Brand New Asus G Series
Windows 7 Home Edition
Any ideas?

In my case it was that the OU that my system was in did not have firewall rules for network file and printer sharing enabled. I enabled all of the rules for Domain policy and that fixed it.
I noticed a lot of comments about turning off the firewall not working. I can't be 100% sure, but in my experience with Server 2008 and Windows 7, if you want to configure a service that uses the network the base filter engine and the firewall HAVE to be
turned on while you configure. You can turn the firewall off after configuration, but they have to be active during configuration.
Good luck!

Restrict workgroup computers in accessing my shared folder

How to restrict workgroup computers in accessing my shared folder.
And only allow a specific system in the workgroup to have full control access to that shared folder.
Operating System :Windows Server 2003

Hi Tiju,
You cannot restrict access to a folder using computer accounts. The access to the share folder can only giving to everyone or local accounts if the network environment is
Workgroup.
Because the computer account never tries to access the shared folders. The access attempt is made by the user account; and if the user account isn't in the ACL of the file, he won't get access.

Now Mavericks is installed, I cannot access my downloads folder.

Now Mavericks is installed, I cannot access my downloads folder. How do I click on items in the folder and get them to open? When I attempt to click on the items, nothing happens. Before Mavericks, I could click and get the folders to open. Yes, I have used three different devices to try to click on them, so it is not my mouse/treackpad/Wacom pen. I am getting very frustrated with this new OS - this is not the only thing bothering me.

I have lost my Safari app and all the bookmarks that go with it. I have tried to download my back-up on external drive but cannot access it. Tried a start with C key held down but still no access to the back-up app.

I have lost my Safari app and all the bookmarks that go with it. I have tried to download my back-up on external drive but cannot access it. Tried a start with C key held down but still no access to the back up app.
Have used Superduper app. to back up and checked back-up occasionally to see if all files present and appeared OK.
I had previously started machine using original CD #1 to try and replace Eudora which was acting up. Did not knowingly touch Safari.
Running iMAC System 10.4.11
How can I successfully download from the Maxtor back-up?

Further info.
I checked the content of my other back-up and found the bookmark Bookmarks.plist in the library under Safari
Dumped the existing copy in the computer and drag-dropped the back up. All bookmarks restored.
Solved the Stickies problem by using Spotlight to find file "stickiesdatabase" and did a drag- drop to replace file. All data restored.
Re Ical data loss. Used Spotlight to find iCal document in Library - Preferences where I found com.apple.iCal.plist in folder.
Got ready to make change but did not immediately remove file. When I returned to Preferences folder to grab above document,
the readable descriptors had been changed to code consisting of some upper case letters and/or single symbols!
So now I cannot tell which is the symbol iCal.plist
Thanks for leading me so far, but how do I find that plist for my calendar?

Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location.

Hi, guys
I cannot view delegate mailbox in Outlook. Following is my configure.
I have two mailbox A-User and B-User
Login Outlook as A-User, click File -> Account Settings -> Delegate Access, add B-User and give Editor permission of Inbox.
Right click A-User's root inbox and select Properties -> Permission, select B-User and check "Folder visible".
Login Outlook as B-User on other computer, click File -> Account Settings -> Account Settings, select B-User and click Change -> More Settings -> Advanced, add A-User.
Now I can see a root A-User in Navigation Pane. But when I click it, it shows
"Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location."
or
"Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location. The operation failed. An object cannot be found".
I searched some solutions from internet, but all of them don't work. Could you give some suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi,
First, please double check if you have given the right permission to B-User on your step 2.
In addition, we can try to give a higher permission to the B-user to check the result.
Please feel free to post back and let me know the result.

"There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request." when trying to access a shared folder in domain environment.

Hi,
I already have a windows server 2003 working as a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) and now I created another windows server 2012 to work as an Additional Domain Controller (ADC).
- PDC is doing (Active directory domain services + DNS + DHCP)
- ADC is doing (Active directory domain services + DNS)
For testing purposes, I shutdown the PDC and let the ADC up and running. Now, Whenever I try to access a shared folder on any server in the domain, I got this message "\\x.x.x.x is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource.
Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request."
Actually, the replication of AD objects and DNS records between the PDC and ADC is done successfully. I also can resolve names using the ADC's DNS. Also, I can ping servers hosting the files I want to access.
Appreciate your help.

The PDCe is required for a lot of services, to include DFS.
Turn the PDC back on and try again. If it's still not working, ensure the file server has the correct DNS entries on the NIC.
I think I see what you were trying to test. The issue is that not all DCs are equal. Yes, they hold the same information, but some DCs do extra work. That is why FSMOs exist.
Let me know how it goes.

Problem accessing smb shared folder

Hi,
I have Linux Ubuntu server in which i have shared folder. Now the problem is from my home (internet) I have connected to vpn connection and trying to access shared folder but it gives an error saying
"Connection Failed - The Server "my hostname" may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name of ip address, check your network connection and then try again.
But when access same shared folder from any cyber centre (internet cafe) it works fine.
Please help
Thanks,
Gulab Pasha

I'm not sure how that's better than Get Info and clicking the Locked checkbox.
In any case, there are a bunch of these. We use a source control system that is not available for the Mac. All the source code that we have to work on is going to be locked.
What I'd really like to know is whether this is a bug in SL, or is there some setting that I can make that would make SL work like Leopard.

Afp sharing bug with static IP ? cannot connect to shared folder via wireless router

Does anyone ever try this ?
i got 2 macs (imac snow leopard 6.6 and macbookpro leopard 10.5.8). connect to a wireless router using UTP cable and set using static ip , connection is ok, ping is ok, ftp between two mac is ok, browse the internet is ok. But i got on problem , i can't connect to shared folder. Error : 'connection failed' . i can see the other mac's icon on the shared section in finder, but i can't connect to it. The problem is fixed if --> The only way i can connect to shared folder is if i changed the ip from static to dhcp. Or if i want to keep my static ip, i have to connect mac to mac (using crosscable or airport) without the router , then the sharing folder will work fine. Anyone got similar problem? The problem only happen while sharing using afp and smb method. I have no problem with ftp, ftp sharing is working perfectly in any situation above.
My conclussion : afp sharing is having problem when apply with static IP and connected to router (or wireless router only ??) is this an afp bug on snow ?
Any idea ?
Thanx

I did pay the 12 dollars, but I think the program remembers with the free one. If you didn't ever have to do port forwarding in the past, then you likely won't have to do it again. I couldn't get modern warfare to play properly without it. But your situation might be different.
If you had it in the DMZ, then that is a work around to doing port forwarding, so that will still work for you as it did before, and if you reset it properly, then yes you will have to put the ps3 back in the dmz.
just keep in mind if you changed your WiFI SSID or Password, it will reset to the default, and the default is found on your sticker that is on your router.

User cannot access redirected Documents folder, but can connect to share in Windows Explorer and access folder on server

I am in the final stages of a cross-forest migration. Users have Windows 7 workstations with redirected folders on a Windows Server 2012 box running in the old forest. User accounts were not migrated. The accounts in use have always
been in the "new" forest. One of our challenges was the large volume of data in redirected folders. I made sure users in the target forest had continued to have access to their redirected folders in the old forest and robocopied
the entire users share, copying the permissions with the files. By doing incremental robocopies, we can get a final copy done now in about six hours. The plan was simple: copy the files, do an incremental copy every night, on the night of the cutover
change the folder redirection policy Documents path from
\\oldserver\users\%USERNAME% to
\\newserver\users\%USERNAME%. The policy is configured to NOT copy user files from the existing folder to the new redirected folder. Everything was going well until I tested the policy change. After the folder redirection policy is updated
and applied, the user cannot access the private Documents folder. For example, user Chester Tester logs on as ctester. I open Windows Explorer and click the Documents shortcut. I see one subfolder, which is subfolder of Public Documents.
So I can look at Public Documents but when I click on the Documents folder (Under the Documents library link) I get an access denied error. Now for the kicker, if I open another Windows Explorer window and edit the address bar to
\\newserver\users\ctester, I can navigate the Documents folder tree and see my thousands of documents. What the ....?
I'm hoping this is something really simple to fix!
TIA

HI Vivian,
Thank you for your reply. Yes, the path in Group Policy Folder Redirection Root Path was updated to
\\NEWSERVER\users. I had planned to point this to the distributed file system, so the first used was actually
\\domain\dfs\users. To simplify things I have backed off to copying to just a normal share
\\newserver\users.
We are using BASIC folder redirection and we create a folder for each user under the root path.
We did not want the policy to move content, as we were seeing users requiring 15-20 minute logon times (or higher) after the policy is changed.
Grant the User exclusive right to Documents - Disabled
Move the contents of Documents to the new location - Disabled
Related folder settings
Video - Follow Documents
Music - Follow Documents
Pictures - Follow Documents
Now when I change the folder redirection from old server to new server I now have TWO My Documents folders in the user's redirection folder on the server. The redirected Documents points to an empty folder set. The copied folders with all user
data are there, but folder redirection refuses to recognize the original folder.
I am looking at the full view of the folder, nothing hidden, so I'm wondering how a folder can have two subfolders with the exact same name. For now, I just want the redirection to move from the old server to the new server properly. I deleted
the new My Documents folder, rebooted the user's workstation and tried again. The behavior repeats itself, i.e., a new My Documents folder is always created when the redirection policy is changed from the old server to the new server. The environment
has about 1500 users with approximately 1.3TB of data in the redirected Documents folders. OUCH!

Access local shared folder through Sharepoint 2013

Before we installed Sharepoint 2013 everyone within the company was sharing files and folders through a shared drive that is mapped to all the workstations. This shared folder on the server is very large, roughly 250gb in size.
I created a Sharepoint site called Document center using a Sharepoint template. Is there an easy way to either upload all those files and directories int sharepoint?
Or even easier, create a link on the sharepoint site that can connect to this shared drive so users can access these files.

You can use a data migration tool from a 3rd party, such as Metalogix, Metavis, AvePoint, or ShareGate to migrate file share content into SharePoint with the metadata (created by, last modified, etc.) intact. You can also use WebDAV (\\sharepointsite\) and
copy them in, but the metadata will be lost.
As far as integrating the file share into SharePoint, take a look at AvePoint's File Share Integration tool (http://www.avepoint.com/assets/pdf/doc6/DocAve_Connector_for_SharePoint_File_Share_Integration.pdf). This is the only one I'm aware of.

Cannot access Home Sharing or iTunes Wi-Fi Sync for any of my iOS devices.

Hey,
I have an iPhone 3GS and an iPad 2, both running iOS5, and the latest version of iTunes for Windows, and had previously had iTunes Wi-Fi Syncing working up until a week ago. Now I cannot even select the 'Sync Now' button on my devices, as they are saying that they cannot access OEM-PC (my computer).
In addition, I have turned Home Sharing on in iTunes, and entered my Apple ID on both devices for Home Sharing, but I cannot access my iTunes library from either devices.
I have followed all the steps that Apple's troubleshooting pages have recommended, but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A bit more info for those of you reading this.... the problem seemed to be in iTunes. For each connected device , if I clicked on the Photo option I could no longer select the second radio button for limiting the photos by Events, Albums, etc. It was an all or nothing deal. But selecting all would cause the error.
So I had read the other forum posts about the "&" symbol being the cause of the problem. I went through iPhoto and made all of the changes. It did not work. I then looked at iTunes, using the AlbumData2.xml file listed in the other forums as a reference. I found one album with the "&". I edited that one. Still would not work. So then I spent 3 hours on the phone with AppleCare last week. I talked with 4 different advisors. None of them had heard about the "&" error from the forums. We tried everything in iPhoto including repair and rebuild. Finally we created a whole new library and reimported my master photos from my original one. Using this option would allow me to now check off that radio button in iTunes. BUT... I now lost all of my albums and events and would need to rebuid them. I was not happy. They agreed and we set up time to talk this week.
So today I talked with AppleCare again. They now have more info and said the problem has to do with iTunes and the new iPhoto 9.4. It does not like the "&" symbol anywhere in either iPhoto or iTunes. So they now have me going through everything in my iTunes library. Genre is OK but any other item cannot have " & ". I have several dozen to edit and will do it over the weekend and then restore my original iPhoto Library and see if I can finally get it all to sync. I will let you know how I make out, but apparently you need to eliminate " & " from every entry in iTunes and iPhoto.
Quality control is not up to par with Apple these days.
