Cannot view new files on networked mac

Hi all, I posted this last year but I think it was in the wrong section.....here goes again..
I have 2 macs linked via an ethernet cable (g4/400 g4/1.2dual).
The 400 is on 10.3.9 and the 1.25 is on 10.4.11
When I do the "Connect to Server" thing from g4/400, I can see g4/1.2's desktop folder with all the files that are on that desktop.
If g4/1.2 adds a file to that desktop I can't see it from g4/400 unless I disconnect and re-connect.
It's the same for any folder not just the Desktop folder.
Is there any way to "refresh" the view?
It's really inconvenient, but I'm sure it used to work ok. It does however work fine the other way round viewing new files on the 400 from the 1.25.
Any ideas??
Thanks
G

HI Granger,
Open System Preferences/Sharing and make sure you have both Personal File Sharing and Windows Sharing turned on the G4/400.

Is it possible to view .bbb files in a mac? how? I am transferring my bberry contacts onto my macbook pro, but cannot open the .bbb files...

Is it possible to view .bbb files in a mac? how? I am transferring my bberry contacts onto my macbook pro, but cannot open the .bbb files...

Well, if simply double-clicking the .bbb file doesn't work, first try dragging the file onto the BBDM icon (either in the Dock, on the desktop or in the Applications folder or wherever it's stored). That tells Finder to open it with that application.
Otherwise, right-click on the file and choose the Open With option. If BBDM is not the default, select Get Info and use the Open with box from there to select it (if it's not in the list, choose 'other' and navigate to it), then click the 'change all' button.

Cannot view pdf files in browser

brand new imac cannot view PDF files in browser but the PDF's can be viewed if downloaded. All the data in the PDF online have question marks instead, maybe a missing font issue?

Have Adobe Reader installed? If so, disable the AdobePDFViewer.plugin resident in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins., restart, and try again. For font-associated issues, peruse Font Management in OS X

I cannot view pdf files on Safari, instead they download and open in viewer. How do I change this?

Does anyone have a solution for this???
"I cannot view pdf files on Safari, instead they download and open in viewer. How do I change this?"

Back up all data. Please read this whole message before doing anything, so you'll know what to expect.
Open Safari's preferences dialog and make notes of everything you would need to recreate the basic settings, such as your home page. That includes the settings of Safari extensions, if any are installed.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste (command-V) into the box that opens and press return. A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open.
Launch Safari. Its settings will have reverted to what they were they first time you launched it. Your bookmarks, history, and AutoFill data will be preserved.
Test. If Safari now works as expected, recreate its settings and delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the newer one created in its place. Post your results.

My Windows7 PC just crashed. I have the files backed up online with Carbonite. I want to buy a Mac I book. Carbonite says it cannot download pc files to a Mac. Is there a solution?

Brilliant, that clears things up - there is a single
audio in that is next to the PC in so I guess I need
one of the single cables you have mentioned,
hopefully the Apple Store can point me in the right
direction when I go in to buy my Mini.
If the TV has a single minijack-type audio input, then the cable you need is a very standard one that can be found almost anywhere that cables for audio/home theatre systems are sold. In the old days it would be easy to point you towards the nearest Tandy, but as I understand it they're now gone. However, even supermarkets such as Tesco are likely to have something this basic!
No doubt Apple will release an Intel Core 2 Duo
version the day after I pick it up.
There's no doubt that at some point Apple will revise the range and make new mini's faster or more powerful - and it may be that it happens next week at the Macworld Expo. I'd bet there are a few people holding on for a few days to see if new minis are announced there, and you might want to do the same if it's of concern, but the existing models are plenty powerful, and more than enough for most user's needs.
Thanks for all your help, much appreciated.
You are most welcome - and please come back and post again if you have any further questions or any problems once you've got your system!

Back up all data. Quit Preview if it's running.
Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following items, if they exist:
Caches/com.apple.Preview
Containers/com.apple.Preview
Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Preview.SandboxedPersistentURLs.LSSharedFileList.plist
Saved Application State/com.apple.Preview.savedState
Launch the application and test.

When you say that you have the same problem, do you mean that you are:
1. Not able to download Adobe Reader;
2. cannot view a PDF file;
3. or what?
Please be a little more descriptive of your particular problem or, better yet, start your own thread and clearly indicate which problem(s) you're having and what you have done, thus far, to correct the problem(s).

Sounds like something has been added into the Reader folder. I would recommend uninstalling, running http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, removing any left over parts of the Reader folder (this might have been the problem), reboot, and reinstall. Hopefully that solves the problem. For future question about Reader, you should consider asking in the Reader forum, this is not it.

Cannot view jpg files in full page mode. Contents of jpg files are enlarged so that it requires 4 pages to print one page.

When people send me jpg files that contain a page of information, I cannot view the file in full page mode. I can only view 1 quadrant of the page at a time. If I print the jpg file, it uses 4 pieces of paper (1 quadrant per page). Others who receive this file can view it fine.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== It has always worked this way.

There is an option for the Initial View that is "Magnification:" "Fit Page". And this works for the initial page when the PDF is opened and it does not matter what the page size it, Acrobat/Reader will automatically fill the screen with the page. If you want the zoom type to change with each page then you need add a page open script to each page to set the pages zoom type to "zoomtype.fitP"
this.zoomType = zoomtype.fitP;

Most recent RAW update, New Aperture and Maverick but still Aperture cannot view RAW files from my Sony RX-100 camera.

I have all the most recent Software updates and a brand new version of Aperture but when I connect my Sony RX-100 to my MBP, Aperture cannot view or import the RAW files. It will import JPEG format. I am new to Aperture and would appreciate some advice here. Do I need an old RAW format update or is there something else I need to do here.
Thanks for any help.

Can't view new files just saved on a shared drive/server

I have just created a file in Illustrator and saved it in a folder on a network drive.
I then try to view that file in finder and I cannot see it. I know it is there because I can view the contents of this network drive from a PC and it's there. I connect to the network drive as a Guest and I've tried connecting as Clair Richardson. When I connect as Guest I can see all files except the ones I just saved, when I connect as Clair Richardson the entire contents of the folder are not visible.
Can anyone help me?
I just clicked on the network drive in question and it said I was connected as clairr and I can now see the files I just created! Can anyone tell me what is going on?

Hi,
Windows Media Player and Flip4Mac are both PowerPC only at the moment, so yes you'll have to use Rosetta for the time being.
Windows Media Player never will be available for the Mac Intel platform (Microsoft no longer develop it) but Flip4Mac are working on porting their plugin 'sometime soon'.

Hi Murali,
Something else that may be happening here...
The /etc repository is a file system repository. Is it possible that you've got the read-only flag set at the OS level?
You can find the /etc repository (in NW04) at:
<DRIVE>:\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\global\config\cm\etc
Regards,
Graham.
