Cannot activate document sharing

Dear All, I am a new mac user from Italy.
I have a macbook and a G5 which used to share resources through a Netgear wifi router.
Now something happened.... and:
. I cannot share the printer (attached to the macbook)
. I can see the G5 from the macbook, but I cannot see the macbook from the G5.
The main problem is that I cannot activate the option "File sharing" in network preferences (in the G5). I tried to click start and then click it on hundred of times unsuccessfully.
Thank you for your help
Penny
P.S. I don't know the exact English wording for Tiger, as my version is in Italian. Sorry.

Hi Penny
I have just had a very similar sounding problem between my iMac G5 & and a macbook pro.
In my case - Applefileserver was crashing on the G5 - you can check this by opening Console from Applications/Utilities/ and seeing if there are any log entries like this
Jan 5 08:11:47 iMac-G5 crashdump[442]: AppleFileServer crashed
Jan 5 08:11:47 iMac-G5 crashdump[442]: crash report written to: /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/AppleFileServer.crash.log
The cause, on my Imac, was a file missing. Use the Finder to view HD/Library/Preferences/ - among many other files, there should be one named com.apple.ByteRangeLocking.plist
If you cannot see this file, then that is likely the problem.
I tried copying the file from my macbook, but that did not solve anything - next I read this Macosxhints page
and created a new file ]com.apple.ByteRangeLocking.plist with the suggested content from the page; using Texedit That cured my problem completely.
If you do find this file is missing, and are uneasy about creating a new one yourself, I will gladly email a copy which works on my iMac G5 with 10.4.8. My email is visible in my discussions profile.
As a new user - all the above may sound very confusing to you - please ask again here, or via email if you are unsure of anything
Andy

  • Has anyone found a solution to error 2146893032? I am obviously connected to the internet but I cannot activate home sharing from my computer. Not my firewall..

    I am trying to set up our Apple TV but we cannot activate Home Sharing. We keep getting error 2146893032. Please don't post the tutorial or troubleshooting guide. Been there already. We have also checked our virus software. Like another person who posed this question, obviously we are connected to the internet or we would not be able to post. This may reall be an iTunes issue but either way, I hope someone can help. Thanks

    What are you doing to activate home sharing?  Is it enabled on iTunes?
    obviously we are connected to the internet or we would not be able to post.
    You are connected, that does not mean ATV is. 

  • Can't activate home sharing

    Hey, community! I'm having some problems with home sharing and the questions submitted in the forums didn't adjust to my case precisely, and I followed the instructions on the troubleshooting site and everything was good.
    I've never been able to use home sharing before, nor now either. I have a MacBook Pro (13", mid-2012) with OS X 10.8.4 running iTunes 11.1, an iPhone 5 with iOS 7 and an iPad 2 with iOS 7 as well. I tried to connect via home sharing before from my iDevices (running the latest iOS 6 then), to be able to access to my MacBook's music library, but to no avail.
    Being a little more descriptive, when I was trying to connect from my iDevice I always got the error message "Cannot activate 'Home Sharing'" —or, in spanish, "No se puede activar 'Compartir en casa'"—. Maybe I should also say that the Remote App doesn't work either, neither with the Home Sharing way nor the 4-number-code way. Is it maybe a network issue? My devices are connected to the same network, and iTunes detects the iPhone trying to control the music with the Remote App (I even put the 4-digit code, and it says it's connected) but doesn't work either.
    Well, I hope I've made myself clear and you guys could help me out. Thanks in advance!

  • Cannot share documents between On-Premises and Online Users by email invitation

    We have a hybrid setup, no problems with email communications between on-premises and Microsoft Online users. We have also activated online Onedrive/sharepoint to start testing. One interesting thing is that users Online can share their documents by inviting
    users who are on Microsoft Online, On-premises and outside this two systems. But the problem is with the users who are on-premises cannot share their documents by email invitation with the other users who are also on-premises, they can share the documents
    with the users who are online only. When they try to share documents by email invitation they get error messages it their emailboxes saying that;
    A communication failure occurred during the delivery of this message. Please try resending the message later. If the problem continues, contact your helpdesk.
    Generating server: SMT947322-001.YLO001.MSOPRD.MSFT.NET
    #< #5.5.0 smtp;550 Denied by policy> #SMTP#
    It seems some kind of relay should be granted on my CAS servers or something like that but I am not sure of what should be added. I am just stuck as to what next step and where to start looking for the problem
    Exchange 2010/2013 with Microsoft Online Office 365 Hybrid

    No, just wanted to share documents using the invitation by mail in sharepoint/onedrive. We can share the documents normally without the email notification. Sorry to mention that even the users who are Online cannot share documents in sharepoint/onedrive
    between themselves, so not between user on-premises and online users. For example a user selects a document in the library, click share and tick on by email, just gets an error
    "#< #5.5.0 smtp;550 Denied by policy> #" , No RMS enabled yet.
    Hi,
    Sorry for my delay.
    According to your further posting, the sending Denied cause is No RMS enabled yet. If that is the case, please activate Azure Rights Management (RMS) to check whether the issue persits.
    When you activate Azure Rights Management (RMS), you turn on this feature for all rights-enabled services and applications. You must activate Rights Management before you can begin to use the information rights management (IRM) features within Office, SharePoint,
    and Exchange. For details about how to activate RMS, please refer to:

  • I cannot activate my printer

    I cannot activate my printer because when I get to the last step they ask my email (which I type in) and my name. When I type my name a message appears saying that those are invalid data. There are no indications of how I can solve that problem since the data I type in are the correct ones. Any help? Thank you

    In the Properties Window for each Printer, under the Ports tab only two printer names:
    HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z (Network) Port name: C(serial number)W  Port Description: HP network re-discovery port monitor
    HPE6AD55 (HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z)  Port name:  WSD-(long alphanumeric name)  Port Description:  WSD Port
    There is another Properties window that has less tabs (General, Hardware and Web services) This properties window says both of the above printers have IP address the same as the printer.  But it is a web page: http:/IP address/.
    I understand these are monitors not ports.  But that is all there is.  There is no printer associated with a standard TCP/IP port listed.  The printer has an IP address per the screen on the printer, but it is not listed in the list of ports.  There is one listed for File not associated with any printer name.  There is a PDFC Port for PDF Complete and an XPSPort for Microsoft XPS Document Writer.  There is a FAX port listed.  HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z (Network) is associated with the HP network rediscovery port monitor for printer and the HP network rediscovery port monitor for FAX.
    I tried to add a printer using the IP address of the printer and the already installed drivers using the add a printer wizard on the Control Panel>Devices and Printers.  It does not scan.  It did print a test page and it did print a web page.
    There is also a problem that I do not have a static IP address.  The printer gets a new address when I turn it off and on.  I removed the new printer as it did not seem to accomplish anything.
    I’m sorry to keep calling monitors ports but that is how they are listed in the Properties window under the Ports Tab.

  • Satellite S50D-A-10G - Windows cannot activate at this time

    Good Afternoon One & All
    Can anybody help or advise me please on a few issues that I am having.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite S50-D, which I bought from Laptop Outlet Ltd through Amazon in Setember 2014.
    Was really happy with it until recently.
    I activated Windows 8.1 when I first received it but just lately I am getting messages saying that I need to activate Windows.
    This I have tried to do several times & each time that I do the screen shows that " Windows cannot activate at this time please try later " I dont get get a telephone option to phone, and so am confused as to why I am being asked to re-activate.
    I tried to contact the vendor who told me to contact Microsoft, this I did & was told that the product key that came with my laptop is for Windows7 or Windows 8 not 8.1, he told me to get in touch with Toshiba for a new Product code,this I did & after an hour on the phone where the Toshiba engineer remotely went through my laptop informed me that I have a trojan (which Norton nor Eset Nod 32 discovered BTW) & that he could sell me an AV software for 99, at no point did he try to give me any advise on why the product ID would not work nor did he try to give me another code to try.
    Is anybody else out there finding that they are being asked to re-activate Windows 8.1 which comes pre-installed on their laptops or anyone who knows how to fix this issue?
    Sorry for the long winded post, but needed to vent as getting quite frustrated & dont really want to take laptop back to factory settings & lose all my stuff.

    Hi Stephen.
    Just some essential information:
    the notebook was preinstalled with Win 8.1 64bit OS.
    This OS is preconfigured and will be activated automatically connection the notebook to internet for the first time!
    More info:
    Windows 8 has not been automatically activated after the first boot of your new Notebook

    if the system cannot be activated even connection to the internet, perform the HDD recovery and try again.
    You said you are novice: well, the notebook contains preinstalled user manual. I recommend you to read the whole document.
    There you can find necessary and useful info about the notebook.

  • Microsoft Outlook 2010 The delegates settings were not saved correctly. Cannot activate Send-on-behalf-of list. You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object.

    I am trying to assign delegation to a user and I receive the following message.
    The delegates settings were not saved correctly.  Cannot activate Send-on-behalf-of list.  You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object.
    We are using 2010 for the server and client.  There are only specific mailboxes that this is happening for after being migrated from Lotus Notes.  The user can use their mailfile fine however it is just the delegation that appears corrupted somehow. 
    I'm not sure how to fix this.  I have checked the access through the security tab in ad and that looks fine.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I did some more digging and I solved it.
    This would be the solution:
    In Active Directory Users and Computers
    -Click on VIEW
    -Click on ADVANCE FEATURES  (this is important otherwise you won't see
    the complete list in the next steps)
    -Click on the USERS container
    -Find the problem user's account
    -Right mouse the account and click on PROPERTIES
    -Click on the SECURITY tab
    -In the top box, click on the SELF account
    -In the bottom portion of the screen make sure the READ PERSONAL
    INFORMATION  & WRITE PERSONAL INFORMATION  should both be checked for
    ALLOW
    If you can compare the permissions for 'SELF' with another user you probably should set them accordingly to be safe. I noticed that for the user where setting delegates (SOB) did
    not work, more than those 2 permissions were missing.
    Good luck!

  • Cannot open document (Error: INF)

    We have migrated reports from version Business Objects 6.5.1 to Business Objects XI 3.1 SP2. We have been receiving sporadic 'Cannot open document (Error: INF)' now and again whenever you open Desktop Intelligence reports using Infoview. Have any other users come across this issue using BOXI 3.1 SP2. I do not believe that this issue occurred on SP1.
    This error is very frustrating.
    I have browsed various forums and implemented changes which have had no effect whatsoever including the SAP Marketplace.
    We are also receiving SetPrompts Failed errors. When a report is opened in Infoview and you refresh a report, a blank dialog appears with a red cross. if you refresh the report again then the SetPrompts Failed error appears. I have evene made changes according to article 1364437 based on this error and this has not resolved the issue.
    Regards
    Dipendra

    We're on BOXI3.1 SP2 aswell and we have had the same sporadic issue - Cannot open document for Deski reports. This is causing some serious concern amongst our users over system stability.
    You can recreate the situation by shutting down the InputFileRepository server and you get the same message. I've noticed that when this happens there is a mesage in the fcproc log file 'm_repFileMgr.Download failed'
    My theory is that there may be some congestion in linking between the desktopintelligence server and the inputfilerepository. In addition, we had some logging on the fileserver and at the time of the error there was no mention of the report that failed or any error. We contacted SAP about this but did not get a satisfactory response. There were some heavily utilised DESKi reports which we managed to convert to Webi to take the load off and we also dropped the timeout to 20 minutes (not brilliant but it did mean that if we got the message the users wouldn't have to wait too long before it was resolved in case they couldn't get hold of IT).
    I also upped the parameter for Maximum Retries for File Access in case it was having problems getting the file.
    The result of this was that the error appeared to go away... until yesterday!!!
    Any further insights welcome.
