Dell PC Not Visible to iMac Network

I have a home network using Airport consisting of an iMac G5 (10.4.5), an eMac G4 (10.3.9), and a Dell Laptop (Windows XP). I am sharing an internet connection from the iMac. File sharing is enabled on all computers and works fine except that the Dell is not visible in the Finder Network or Workgroup window. The Dell DOES automatically become visible in the eMac's Finder window and I can connect and share files on the Dell using the eMac so I know the PC is configured correctly. Sharing Services on the iMac have Personal File Sharing, Windows Sharing, Personal Web Sharing, and Printer Sharing enabled. I have tried to connect to the Dell through the iMac by using the Connect to Server route but I get an error each time.
Anyone have an idea why I can't connect to the Dell on one computer but not the other?
Thanks.

Try setting IPv6 to "off" in the System Preferences Network pane on your Tiger computer. I have copied and pasted the instructions from MacFixIt below:
"In order to change this setting, open System Preferences and click on your currently used interface (Ethernet, AirPort, etc.). Click on the TCP/IP settings for the interface -- at the bottom if you see a button which says 'Configure IPv6...' click that and set it to "Off." Press the Apply Now button."
This has been reported to solve many network problems in Tiger.

Time Capsule not visible on WiFi network

Tried to set up a new Time Capsule via the airport utility but it will not identify a Wifi Network to connect to (objective is to enlarge the network, rather than to establish a new network). There is already an older model of time capsule connected to the same router via WiFi to enlarge the network and it works well.
Is it really the only solution to connect the time capsule to the router via Cable and establish the connection like that? (That would be exactly what we do not want - another cable) Multiple resets to factory settings did not solve the issue. Anyone there to help? Thanks

Connected by ethernet or by wireless?? What router is it connected to?
An apple router can only extend wireless of another apple router and only once.. ie you can have a main base and one repeater.. you cannot repeat twice.
You can use EOP (homeplug) adapters if ethernet is not suitable.

[Newbie] FMS not visible in local network

Hi,
I have a problem with FMS 3.5 installed on Windows 7. The problem is that FMS works only on my local machine, I am not able to use it from computers in local network. I turned off all windows firewalls and my machine is visible for other computers - I am able to connect to FMS Welcome site on apache on default port 8134, but streaming fails, and I cannot do the same on port 80. Any help appreciated...

From fms.ini:
# IP address and port(s) Flash Media Server should listen on
# For example:
# ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = :1935,80
ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = :1935,80
# IP (address and) port that Flash Media Server should proxy
# unknown HTTP requests to. Leave empty to disable proxying.
# With no address, specifies a localhost port.
# For example:
# HTTPPROXY.HOST = webfarm.example.com:80
HTTPPROXY.HOST = :8134
So I believe it is...
What can I do if connections are not reaching FMS?

The problem is that when I plug my [I]iPod Touch[/I] into the [I]Mac[/I] it charges but is not seen by itunes.
[LIST=1]
[*]I have uninstalled itunes on the mac, reinstalled the latest version (V10).
[*]I have rebooted my iPod touch.

Still no luck.
I don't want to sync it with the mac...yet ( in the process of decommissioning my PC. ), I just want to play music via my mac!
I have done a fair but of searching and everything points to the fact that this should not be a problem, but alas I can't see my itouch on the mac.
I have the itouch set to manually manage.
Any advice or help is appreciated.
Cheers

Apple TV gen 3 - AirPlay not visible on wireless network

Hi,
I've just bought a new Apple TV gen 3 however I could not get the airplay to work properly (both on my iPad 2 & iPhone 4s).
A little background info regarding my current network setup, due to the location of my room from my living area I could not get strong signal from my wireless network. To solve the problem I've installed an additional access point in my room with different SSID but utilizing the existing internet access via a powerline network adapter. This has solved my wireless coverage issue within my home.
As my Apple TV is installed in my room, I connected it to the wireless network in my room. Everything is working well (i.e. access to internet, connecting to my iTune account etc and YouTube are no problem) except AirPlay. I can't see the AirPlay icon on both my other apple devices. However, I can use the Remote app on my iPad to control my Apple TV but just cannot use AirPlay to stream anything from my other devices to Apple TV.
I tried everything such as reset the Apple Tv & reinstalling its software, soft resetting my other devices and forgetting the network etc but to no avail. I suspect that the problem may be related to my wireless network so I tried connecting the Apple Tv to my original wireless network, it can connect but the signal is rather weak. I then connect my iPad to the same network. This time I did get the AirPlay to work but due to the weak signal on the iPad using the original wireless network AirPlay keeps dropping off nd when it works it is very slow.
Is there any ways of getting AirPlay to work properly over the new network in my room which has much stronger signal if I connect both my oPad nd Apple TV to it? Pls help....

Hi jcool17,
Thanks for replying. Yes I do have 2 SSID broadcasting and all my devices are apple devices are connected to the same SSID which is in my room but AirPlay won't work.
No, my current wireless devices in my room is not Apple. Used to have an Apple Airport Express but it died on me after 3 years. Got a good deal on a Dlink which I bought to replace the The AE.
And yes, AirPlay is turned 'on' on my Apple TV.

Public folder is not visible over office network

Small office, mixed network of about 8 macs and a pile of PC's. I'm not sure about the pc's but none of the macs can see my shared folder. They can get to my files by logging in as me, but not as guest. Nothing appears in the list of volumes when logging in as guest. Sharing is turned on. The public folder is set to drwxrwxrwx. The drop box is set to drwx-wx-wx. I tried to reassign it using the utility sharepoints, to no avail. Tried to assign it a new sharepoint using NetInfo Manager using this tutorial at macosxhints. and it also failed to accomplish anything. I am at a loss. I think it started happening after I updated to 10.4, but I am not sure, it has been going on for a long while now...
other possibly related wierdness: I show up in the terminal and some other network related places as one of the pc's on the network.

Dual 2.7 G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Well, I'm tapped for now at least, with respect to things that I can remember seeing or reading about having caused this issue in the past. Just to recap to make it easier for anyone else that may see the thread:
The 'shareDir' property has a value of "Public"
The folder "~/Public/" exists
The permissions of "Public" are "777" (the default is 755 but the 'x' on "others" is what is important).
Filevault is not enabled.
Guest Access is enabled and is working because they can log on, just not choose volumes
Users can "see" the "Public" folder of a freshly created account.
The password has been updated to "Tiger" standards.
Since it works for the new accounts, the problem has to be something user specific, but it isn't any of the usual suspects, so I'm baffled. Just in terms of looking for anything unusual, these commands might turn something up (the 'ls' ones are repeated with 'sudo' explicitly to see if "root" sees things differently compared to other users because the AFP server runs as root):<pre>ls -lend ~
ls -lend /Users/username
sudo ls -lend /Users/username
ls -lend /Users/username/Public/
sudo ls -lend /Users/username/Public/
nicl . -read /users/username</pre>Another approach that might turn something up is to try to explicitly mount your "Public" folder from another Mac via the command line to see what errors are generated. For this, you will need an IP address for your computer to be entered in place of where it says "11.22.33.44":<pre>mkdir /Volumes/testguest
mount_afp afp://11.22.33.44/username /Volumes/testguest
or
mount_afp "afp://;AUTH=No%20User%[email protected]/username" /Volumes/testguest</pre>The other thing is that since the problem appears to be limited to your account, you could skip the troubleshooting and try setting up a "share point" somewhere outside your user's folder, such as in "/Users/Shared". If it works, then hopefully that can be used as a workaround for this most perplexing problem...

Canon MP980 not visible as wired network printer

I have a Canon MP980, ethernet attached that worked fine on two MacBook Pros running Leopard. Upgraded to SL on one of the machines and the printer can't be discovered. Updated drivers, works fine USB attached. Spent an hour on the phone with Canon tech. Can ping it. Scanner works. We trashed preferences, repaired permissions, reinstalled again, no luck. Canon sent me to Apple who told me that network printer issues were "not supported." Suggested I try the forums. Here I am, any advice? When I run the Canon IJ Network tool, it shows me the mac address, when I click "Apply" nothing happens. Network printer never shows up in the add printer panel. Only "printer" listed is Canon MP980 Series but the "Kind" column lists "Bonjour Scanner."

Here you go. Thanks for your help!

Messages sent from iPhone not visible on iMac

When I send a message on my iPad using iOS 8.1.2 it does not show up in Messages on my iMac running OSX 10.9.5 but it does show up on my iPhone, also running the latest version of iOS 8.1.2. Does this feature not work with OSX 10.9.x or is there another problem and, if there is a problem, how can it be corrected?
Thanks.

Try restarting all the devices.

Time capsule not visible on network

I'm trying to troubleshoot this situation for a colleague.
Situation: macbook air, synchronized wirelessly via time capsule. The time capsule is connected to the fixed network also. This is on our corporate network (both fixed and wifi networks). Backups via time capsule were working fine until yesterday (I see the last backup listed as yesterday).
Yesterday itunes prompted him to update his iphone to OS 5. After the update, the photo's were not synchronized. Upon synchronizing the photo's, the wrong button was clicked (my mistake, oops), and now all photo's are gone in iphoto. Now we're trying to get them back from the time capsule.
The time capsule is not visible in the network, not wired, not wireless. Connecting the macbook air via the fixed or wireless network doesn't reveal it. Airport utility says it cannot find anything. The time capsule is connected to power and network and the green light is on. I tried powercycling it, but this didn't make it appear.
How can I resolve this?

Getting access to stuff in Time Machine is sometimes difficult.. it sounds like something has shredded the files..
Look at the info pondini gave to access the iphoto in particular.
http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/15.html
Upgrading to latest OS particularly Lion in the Mac or ios5 is having all sorts of nasty consequences..
The thing is, if you have photos in there that will need recovery.. you should not use Time Machine or copy files to the TC until you have restored them. In fact the disk may need to be removed to see if they have been deleted but I have no experience with this and others might be able to give more info.

Mac OS 9 AFP file sharing volume not visible under Mac OS 10.5

An old blue-white PowerMac G3 running Mac OS 9.2.2 with file sharing on is not visible on the network for a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.5.5. – However, a PowerBook G4 with Mac OS X 10.4.11 perfectly shows the G3.
Connecting to the G3 works on the new MacBook Pro with OS X 10.5 if I use the server's IP-address (afp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) but does not work if I use the server's name (afp://<servername>).
All other shares on the network are visible for both the MacBook Pro running OS X 10.5 and the PowerBook G4 running OS X 10.4.
Why does the MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.5.5 not show the G3?
Why can't I connect to the G3 using its AFP name?

I think this is because there is no AppleTalk on Leopard.
Ah, I stand corrected........
Go to SystemPreferences > Network
Select your connection in the left column. Advanced > AppleTalk
Enable AppleTalk for your connection.
