Connect as... no longer works. Cannot connect to other computers on my home network.
I have a home network and it's been unchanged for years. Never had any issue with connecting to other computers, all of which are Macs running OS X. Now, if I click Connect As, nothing happens. Double-clicking the other computer in the Finder's sidebar or using Go To Server, etc. yields nothing. Even odder; the other machines no longer see me at all. No one has any Firewall on. File sharing is on for all machines. We're all on the same subnet and the same network, yet every other machine can connect to one another but not mine. Thoughts? Restarting has not helped. Thanks.
If you are getting the error message that the server won't allow any more users to connect, and to try again later, this seems to be a problem with AFP sharing in Lion.
The workaround for this so far is to go to System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing and click on Options... On that window, turn OFF "Share files and folders using AFP" and turn ON "Share files and folders using SMB (Windows)" Click Done to go back to the sharing window and you should see a green dot followed by "Windows Sharing: On"
Give that a try.

Do I need to have Airport Express to connect to other computers on our homer network?
Do I need to have Airport Express to connect to other computers on our homer network?
Not necessarily. You could use the "Create Network" feature of your MBP's built-in AirPort card to provide an Ad-hoc wireless network for local wireless-capable computers to connect to.

Can see but not connect to other computers on my home network
New laptop running 8.1 replaces crashed one (also ran 8.1). After setup, can see the other computer on Home Network (uses Windows 7). That one can also "see" the new laptop. ( Both computers appear in the network folder). Neither
will connect to the other. Get "cannot access message, check name etc."
Both computers are in same Homegroup, tried all the tests mentioned in support . . .everything seems set properly. Ran through all the network and homegroup diagnostics fine. Tried connecting with both firewalls disabled.
Is there a solution I'm not aware of? Others seem to have similar if not identical problem.Hi wrkeen,
Please share more details about this issue：
1. Provide the error messages for better analyzation.
2. What solution have you done to test the homegroup?
If we enable the network discovery, we will be able to find other computers or devices on the network.
Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
1. Run the network troubleshooter to exclude the network issues. For more information, please refer to the following article.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/using-the-network-troubleshooter-in-windows-7
2. Go through this path Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings and check if we correctly configure file sharing and other settings.
Please take a look at the following article about troubleshooting file sharing.

Any tips? There doesn't seem to be a sharing option under Preferences > General anymore?
That feature has been removed from iPhoto. They want you to use Shared Photo Streams to share with the other Macs. Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.0.2. my wifi says its connected but doesn't work now. It doesn't matter what wifi network I connect to. It worked before updating my phone. I can no longer use facetime or use wifi at all. I'm not sure what to do to fix it.
I'm having similar issues with my phone. I got my first iPhone recently, only had an iPod touch gen4 for a little over a year. Updated to 6.0.2 when we got the phone (iPhone 5) a few days before Christmas. When I got home on the evening of January 11, my phone would not connect the router anymore. I was able to get it to connect after resetting the phone and the router, updating the router, and manually connecting. That laste for a few minutes and then wouldn't work anymore. I live in an area with very limited service, we have a network extender installed to help, and I am barely getting a 3G signal at times.
My wife's iPad 4, my touchiPod 4, and all of our laptops are working just fine on the router. When I dropped my kid off at school today, I noticed that I am not even seeing the school network anymore from the parking lot where before I got 3 or 4 bars and could connect to their wifi when I was there. Today my phone goes back and forth between seeing my home network but not connecting, to not even seeing the network at all even from the same room that the router is in.
Hope Apple fixes this problem soon.............. -
Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8
Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8?
The kit is firmly inserted in thhe iPad's dock ? You could also try a reset and see if it's recognised after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
I haven't had problems using the kit with SD cards from Canon cameras . What capacity is the card, and it's an SD or SDHC card - if it's an SDXC card that's formatted as ExFAT then it won't be recognised -

ok my iphone 3g touch screen is not responding, i can recieve calls and it can charge and connect to itunes, but i cannot go any further than using the home button or the power button, it is only the slide feature and touch feature that has become non existent. Also, i have a f'ew cracks in my screen for a while now and it was running smoothly up until saturday when i sat on it applying large amounts of pressure to the phone screen. Is there a way i can fix this myself without having to recover my phone to factory settings or wasting 50 bucks to get it fixed??

Hello All,
I am getting following error, when trying to expand essbase from calculation manager, "Cannot connect to olap service. Cannot connect to Essbase Server. Error:Essbase Error(1051293): Login fails due to invalid login credentials",
I am using EPM 11.1.2.1
Thanks
YashIf you have moved the server to a new data center and an issue has started occurring then it could point to the change.
Are you able to log into essbase directly with Maxl using the same account?
If you run a registry report do you see any of the configuration with IPs instead of DNS/hostname
Cheers
John

I have never previously had any problems with Home Sharing, I have always found it to be completely reliable as advertised. I have 2 computers in the house, (one MacBook and one Windows Desktop) connected to the same Home Sharing account, connected to the same BT Home Hub 4. My situation is that I have nearly 2TB of data of which I would like to share with the home wirelessly, in my mind the desktop is the logical place for this to be shared from.
When running, iTunes on this desktop broadcasts to other iTunes libraries, but no other iOS devices or Apple TV's connected to the same Home Sharing account cannot see it.
I have tried turning Home Sharing off, and then turning it back on, closing iTunes, restarting the computer, going to Network and Sharing Centre and unticking IPv6 in the network adapter properties, even completely wiping the computer and reinstalling Windows 7.
One of the Apple TV's in the house was recently purchased by my parents with the promise from me that everything would work seamlessly... so far it isn't and I am frustrated that the Apple technology that I have come to rely on isn't working as expected.
One thing that has occurred to me upon writing this is that it is a very large amount of data, and I have not attempted to share this with another computer that is currently working and broadcasting it's Home Share fine.
I am sorry if I have ommitted any important details, any further questions don't hesitate to ask. I would be so grateful of any suggestions, my parents are depending on me.I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem. The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6. (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time! -
How do I easily connect to other computers on my local network?
Tiger was easy, Leopard has many confusing options that aren't clear to non-tech people.
I have 5 other computers on my local network. 3 are Leopard, One is Tiger and one is Panther.
All machines are password protected at startup.
Trying to configure my Leopard machines to be able to access each machine's hard drive with just a password input. Was easy in Tiger. Only Tiger and Panther machines can talk to each other now.
Confused by drop boxes, etc. (don't want)
Any FAQs on this?
Want Panther and Tiger machines to access Leopard (so needs to work both ways).
A simple shortcut would be super!
Message was edited by: Kurt Triffeton the LAN, from apple to apple, and assuming you trust the other users on your LAN, I would recommend afp for file sharing over smb or ftp. Users' accounts have the permissions set up so others can connect directly to their Public folder (for read access - drag and drop copy a file) and to their Drop Box (in their public folder) (for write access - drag and drop a file) by mounting target computer icon on desktop as if an external or second hard drive, at least as far back as Panther and I think even Jaguar. Can't say for earlier than that -- don't remember anymore.
You need to turn on file sharing in the Sys Prefs on the computer being accessed. smb and afp had their own sharing checkboxes in Tigger's and Panther's Sys Prefs Sharing Services (called personal file sharing and windows sharing, as I recall); in Leo, they are in Sys Prefs Sharing File Sharing Options. "Full access" to non-privileged user accounts is done by username/password. Absolute full access to the entire computer requires afp login as admin user on the target computer. To get there in either case, in the Finder, it's Go Connect to Server ⌘k then afp://{target computer name or IP address} or Go Network ⇧⌘k and double click.
Remote keyboard/screen access is relatively easy, too -- more so with Leopard than with prior OSs. Won't delve into that here coz' I didn't think you were so interested in that, but can post additional info if desired. -
My Wi-Fi connection on my iMac drops frequently. The other computers in the house do not have this problem. If I go into the Network Preferences and choose my Network it connects immediately but it does not remember the setting and I must reselect my network frequently.
The iMac picks up a wireless signal from the back of the screen, so you would want to avoid having it close to a wall, or in a confined area where the wireless signal cannot easily reach the iMac's antenna.
We don't know how far the iMac is from your wireless router, or how many walls or other obstructions might be in the signal path that would limit the quality of signal that the iMac receives.
Nor do we know whether you might have a cordless phone near the iMac, or whether you may be using a wireless keyboard and/or mouse....all of which can interfere with the wireless signal.
Can you provide some more info on this? -
