Connecting to other computer 1 see's other doesnt!

My housemate has a new imac and can see my computer when he selects network and can connect when puts in my user and password.
However, when i try the same his computer doest appear in my network window after a few moments like mine does on his
We are only connected by ethernet router with no software set up on either computer it just finds on the local network really.

I have exactly the same problem.
I have two computers, a G5 and an Ibook G4.
Both are set up identically. The sharing is on and appletalk is on. Both are connected through a router. Both can see the Internet.
Only one computer can see the other.
The stupid useless network browser just sits there and sits there and sits there and sits there and sits there. It never lets you know whether it's actually doing anything. Just sits there.
If you want I can take screen shots of all the relevent control panels and post them on a web page. It's a tiny problem but so irritating when something just doesn't work because it just doesn't feel like it.

    I have a 2nd generation Ipod.
    I have it connected to my computer and see (my name) ipod on my screen.
    Everytime I try to add a new song to the Ipod, this message comes up and I am not sure what to do:
    The Ipod, (my name) is synced with another ITunes library on A74F65. Do you want to erase this Ipod and sync with this ITunes Library?
    An Ipod can be synced with only one ITunes library at a time.  Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this IPod with the contents of this ITunes library.
    Then it asks me if I want to delete and sync.
    I am not sure what to do for fear of erasing everything I have put on my Ipod.
    I would appreciate if someone could help me out. 

    If I understand you correctly, you are trying to use iTunes to play the Music in your iPod but which is not in your itunes library. I don't think Apple design iTunes for use in your way. As to put and play music in iPod, the music has to be in iTunes first, so you play music in the iTunes music Library. the window with Ipod music is just to show you which music are already in the Ipod, in case you want to Manually Manage your huge music library.
    Here is the iPod/iTunes manual from the Apple Support Site.

  • When I connect with my computer, I see the I-phone in I-tunes, but not in Windows Explorer?

    I connect my I-phone with my computer. In I-tunes the phone is there, but not s a removable device in Windows Explorer. It should be recognised I assume. Who knows the answer? Thanks in advance.

    So what sync settings do you currently have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music tabs?  Any error messages when you try to sync?
    To be sure, reset sync warnings. To do this, right->click the iPod under Devices and choose Reset Warnings. Then resync your iPod.

  • Connected ipod to computer...charges but doesnt do anything else...Help!

    Okay, so I bought an ipod from a friend recently..its in great condition but when I plug it into my computer(USB) it only charges and thats it. Nothing else happens...it doesnt show up in My Computer or even the bottom right hand corner of the start menu. It wont pop in itunes...just charges and thats it. Any solutions? Please let me know.

    - First try resetting the iPod to see if iTunes will see the iPod so you can restore the iPod.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next place the iPod in recovery mode to get iTunes to see the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • We have a PC with iTunes that needs the hard drive reformatted. Right now, it can't connect to other computers on the network. Can I save my music to a thumb drive, then re-load when the computer is reformatted?

    We have a Windows XP desktop with iTunes for windows. The hard drive needs to be reformatted. Right now, the computer will not connect to other computers on the network. Can I save my iTunes songs to a thumbdrive, then re-load after reformatting?  How do I do it?

    Copy the entire iTunes folder out to the drive. If it is too big to go as one copy stuff over to another computer in batches. It is important to have not only the media but the library file in order to properly restore your library.
    See also this User Tip. Assuming the machine won't connect to the internet you could download the SyncToy installer on another machine and then transfer it with the thumb drive. If it will connect to the net don't forget to deauthorize the machine before reformatting the hard drive.

  • Use user account to connect to other computer

    Hi everyone,
    I'm running windows 7 machine and i have a domain for study purpose so i was using file sharing option and i checked use users account to connect to other computer.
    Advanced sharing and i select use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers
    so after selecting this option it logged me out and bring me to the log in option but i can not see my computer log-In name i see only remote log In name and other user option so how do i log into my
    Windows 7 computer? not the remote computer
    Please help i want to get back to my windows 7 computer because im  logged out and i don't know how to log-In
    i can only log-In the domain user account but i want to log in as windows 7 account not the domain account
    please help

    Perhaps the GPO prevent you from logging locally with user account that is NOT member of domain users. You should change GPO and either wait for applying it of force the update. Remember that some GPO may need restart.

  • My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connected and disconnected.  does the same with itunes.  Also i'm talking on the phone and all of a sudden the other person can not hear me.

    My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connecting and disconnecting.  It does the same with itunes so it doesnt really sync.  Also when talking to someone, all of a sudden they cant hear me.

    I'm having the same issue. I went to my local apple store and they could not work me into the genius bar so i made an appointment for tomorrow morning. The clerk did check the phone for the pink indicators at the top and bottom of the phone (where you plug in your USB or headphones) He said if you can see a pink indicator dot you may have gotten it wet, or had some sort of condensation in it, which could cause the plugs to not work.
    In regards to people not being able to hear you, i'm waiting for my appointment tomorrow for more news! I would recommend taking it into your local apple store for more answers.

  • Can't see my own Airport - can connect to other networks. Basestation works

    Until recently my Airport Express worked fine (and had done so for a year or so). But a couple of months ago I started having problems connecting to it, and finally a month ago my Powerbook couldn't see the basestation at all. I could still see the other networks in my area, and connect to these (including some airport express networks), so I reasoned that my Airport Express was dead and had it exchanged for a new one...
    BUT when I brought my new basestation home i STILL couldn't see it from my powerbook (even if I placed it 3 ft away). To double check I tried it at a friends house (with his PC), and he could see the basestation just fine...
    So my question is this:
    If I can see (and connect to) other networks than my own airport base, and another computer can connect to my airport, and my ADSL works fine with a cable - where is the problem? I really have no idea where to start looking...
    please help me, this is frustrating...!
    thanks, Lars

    Back again, more frustrated than ever...
    I had my friend come over, and with his PC and my Powerbook 10 inches apart, both situated less than 10 feet from the basestation, we can see exactly the same wireless networks - EXCEPT my very own basestation, which only my freind can see (on my friend's computer it's named "Apple Network edc585")!!!!
    This leads me to think that somewhere in some program on my computer there's something blocking my access to my Airport... The only thing I did recently which has to do with the internet is that I installed an Apacheserver, but this didn't have immediate effect on my airport - so I can't think why it should have now...
    Where can I go? Is there something I can uninstall and reinstall? Should I trash the Airport-assistant and reinstall from my airport-cd?
    Help pls...

  • When I go to plug in my iPhone 5 to my PC it will charge my phone but it doesn't show up that it's connected to my computer or in iTunes. I have tried just about everything that I can find on the internet but nothing is working. Any other suggestions?

    When I go to plug in my iPhone 5 to my PC it will charge my phone but it doesn't show up that it's connected to my computer or in iTunes. I have tried just about everything that I can find in the support discussions but nothing has worked. Any other suggestions?

    If you have carefully follow ALL of the steps in that article, you are using a USB port directly on your computer and not a USB hub (don't use a front port on a tower or desktop either, as they are an internal hub) and you installed iTunes correctly using an Administrator ID and you have tried disabling your antivirus and firewall then there is no hope of it ever working. Look at the tip again, and go through it carefully, not skipping any steps.
    Note, BTW, that an iPhone will not show up on a computer, only in iTunes. If there are photos in the Camera Roll then it will appear in Windows as a digital camera only.

    - Reset the iPod. nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router

    i can't connect to other computers on my network with computer names. Any suggestions?

    In what way are you trying to connect? File sharing? Printer sharing? Screen sharing? Something else?
    How are your computers connected to this network? What happens when you try to connect to them?
    Best of luck.

  • Outlook 2013 shared calendars show "no connection" and users can't see other's free / busy time in scheduling assistant

    Info:
    Outlook 2013 Pro Plus - Windows 7 64bit - Exchange 2007 Hosted by Rack Space - everything fully patched....
    every user in our company on Office 2013 now has the same issue: shared calendars won't populate with the following error: "no connection" when they try to see another user's calendar in scheduling assistant, it just shows those diagonal lines
    (like they don't have permission)
    Based on "research", reaching out to Rack Space and some desperate Googling, I've tried the following to no avail:
    run full repair of Microsoft office 2013 and also reinstalled Office 2013
    turn off /on cached exchange mode, turned off /on Work Offline mode
    rebuild OST and email profile
    start Outlook in safe mode with no add-ins running
    check auto discover records and add auto discover server address to local intranet zone in Internet Explorer
    modify calendar permissions for both ends of the calendar interaction
    check Outlook OWA access, confirmed everything is fine there
    anyone have any ideas for me? people in Outlook 2010 have no issues BTW; just Outlook 2013....
    thank you so much in advance and please let me know if I can provide more info!

  • HT1549 I don't want other computers connect with my computer, I don't want sharing my macbook pro, so how I can protect my computer and avoid other people connect with my computers

    I don't want other computers connect with my computer, I don't want sharing my macbook pro, so how I can protect my computer and avoid other people connect with my computers

    As long as you do not enable Sharing of any kind (System Preferences > Sharing) no other computer can connect with yours. Also make sure you have your wireless network protected with a WPA2 password.
    That's all I can suggest without knowing what OS version you are running (you are not running iOS as that is for iDevices).
