Desktop can't see laptop after Leopard upgrade

Hi,
I have a G5 desktop, a MacBook Pro laptop and a PC on our work network. My laptop can connect to the G5, the G5 can connect to the PC, but the G5 can't even see the laptop since I upgraded the laptop to Leopard. Whassup with that? Anyone have ideas?
Thanks.

I have had the same exact problem. After waiting on hold for Apple Support for 45 mins I was instructed to do the following:
1. Restart the computer with the Leopard disk in and holding down the 'c'
2. Proceed thru the installation questions as normal
3. Choose custom install
4. Select 'Archive and Install, not Preserving...
According to tech support, this should work. The other solutions (changing the password at the root) or other things have not.
Apple Tech support made a mistake and told me to install the upgrade again (instead of going the custom route), so I will try these instructions in about 3 hours when this upgrade fails again and post my findings

Why can't I print after I upgrade to MAC OS 10.10 (Yosemite)?

Why can't I print after I upgrade to MAC OS 10.10 (Yosemite)?

You need a printer driver upgrade. Check with your printer's manufacturer to see if they have a new driver available. If not, then ask their tech support for additional help.
Meanwhile, open Print & Scan preferences, select the installed driver and click on the Delete [-] button. Then CTRL- or RIGHT-click in the list space and select Reset Print System from the context menu. Now, click on the Add [+] button to re-Add your printer. See it this helps. Be sure your printer is connected and turned on.

IMovie quits after leopard upgrade

After Leopard Upgrade, HDTV No Longer Displays Full Screen Apple TV??

Fairly recent Apple convert. iMac is directly connected to HDTV (Mini-DVI to HDMI) and A/V Receiver(Toslink). After Leopard upgrade, I now have a black border, on HDTV, no matter what resolution I choose (worked automatically and perfectly on Tiger). In System Preferences-Display, I am mirroring the displays and have Overscan turned off, because without it, the Menu Bar does not display at all. I am wondering if Apple is trying to force me to buy an Apple TV or if maybe I just need to be patient until the correct drivers come out? Apple told me they were referring my problem to the Engineering Department, but I am not holding my breath. Primary need is to view Photos and eventually rent movies, when HD is readily available. Any opinions, predictions or suggestions on resolving would be appreciated. Thanks!!

same issue here. Don't use it very often so could not remember if it was fine previously thought it was. Hope we get help soon.

Can't see manual after download. Says get Acrobat. Have Adobe. Shop says $449! Just want to read an iphone 4 manual

Can't see manual after downloading several times from Apple. Somewhere else says have to get Acrobat to read. Have Adobe. Acrobat on Apple site is over $400! All I want to do is read an iphone 4 manual.

Acrobat Reader is free. Or try this:
1. Select the file.
2. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window.
3. In the Open With section select Preview from the dropdown menu.
4. Click on the Change All button.
This will assign Preview as the default application for opening PDF files. Now, if you downloaded the manual on your iPhone, then you need a PDF reader app. Try the free GoodReader app. Or you can download the manual in iBook format.

Printing From iBook To Printer on Vista Desktop, Can't see shared printers

Printing From iBook To Printer on Windows Vista Desktop, Can't see shared printer on a Vista machine from a Mac, although Windows notebooks find it immediately.
I have previously always had success sharing printers on Windows XP machines with my iBooks. . However upon installing Vista RC1 on my desktop I find I can no longer find the printer in the Mac's printer setup utility. When I dual boot back to XP everything works fine, but on the same machine when I boot into Vista I am unble to see the printers. The Mac printer setup utility finds the Vista machine on the network, but the printers are never visible. Is their some secret or channge in Vista that prevents Mac's running , in my case,Tiger 10.4.8 from seeing a shared printer on a computer running Vista
On the Vista machine, if I boot into XP The printer is shared and Windows notebooks can print to it, but neither of my iBooks can see the Printers when Vista is running.

That might have been the situation for the beta's and first RC's, but I have a final build. Plus the fact that other Windoze notebooks see the printer on the Vista box just fine leads one to believe it is a mac/Vista specific issue.
If anyone actually has experience with a MAC and Vista , I would appreciate hearing from you.
thanks,

Can't see Ipod 5G since upgrade to snow leopard

Hi there, I hope someone can help. I've just upgraded to Snow Leopard, and now my computer can't see the Ipod - no icon at all: in iTunes, Finder, or on the Desktop. I checked it wasn't on 'hold' and also reset it after reading Apple's support docs. The ipod itself doesn't respond: it, not even 'charging'. Any help would be very much appreciated. Cheers! PS: The ipod works fine

Snow Leopard is known to fail in this regard - see this article:
Mac OS X v10.6 or later: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3540
In general, Snow Leopard has a pervasive bug that causes iPads/iTouches/iPhones not to be recognized in iTunes. (This would presumably not, however, affect iPods, and so would apply to the o.p.)
(The article does not work for me, but it may work for someone else.)

Can't see NAS after upgrade to 10.8

Help - I can't see my NAS after upgrade to Mountain Lion OS on my macbook air. I just see a blank window using command+shift+K -- used to see my drive.

Hi,
Check with the manufacturer of your NAS, there may be a patch/firmware update available, or one in the works. Not all software/hardware manufacturers get their drivers, or updates, to Apple in time for distribution, or they haven't tested their products with ML.
Cheers,

How did my desktop appear on another computer after Leopard install?

I have a Mac G5 connected by ethernet to a cable company. I bought a MacBook for Chicago which is 2,000 miles away. After upgrading my G5 with Leopard I physically took the Leopard CD to Chicago and installed it on my MacBook in Chicago where I have wireless (router) After the install, my desktop was duplicated on this MacBook from the G5 in California. I never had these two computers connected, nor have I ever done a file sharing manipulation between these two computers.
One of the files on the desk top on my MacBook, when opened reveals all my files just like the one in CA except I can't open any of them because the program cannot be found. That is not suprising at all because I never installed any of these programs.
One program did open and can be used however and that is PhotoShop which I use lot on my G5. I never installed that program on my MacBook.
How did this stuff get on my MacBook? I believe there is a bug in the Leopard CD that performs all the functions I could do manually to get this desk top to duplicate.
What do you say?

Lizard33, Welcome to the discussion area!
Do you have a .Mac account? If so you are probably seeing the new Leopard "Back to My Mac" feature in operation.

After Leopard upgrade, computer starts up fine but gets stuck at finder

I've upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. Everything went smoothly in the install. When the computer first rebooted and finder appeared, everything worked great. Then I opened my email and it asked for the keychain to be 'reset'. I clicked reset and then waited. After about 30 minutes, the 'rainbow wheel' was still spinning and everything appeared to be frozen. I couldn't even opt-command-esc, so I pressed the reset button on the G5 tower. Then I booted from the OSX disc and checked the hard drives with the utilities program. Nothing wrong apparently. I then reinstalled the OSX 10.5 again figuring that might help. When it restarted, the system got stuck after all the apps & finder loaded with the spinning rainbow wheel again. This time the hard drives or any other files did not show up on the desktop, and its been spinning for a long time now. I can also hear the hard drives working quite hard in the tower.
A bit of background info: before I upgraded, my old Tiger had a problem with the keychain access and wouldn't save any of my passwords and wouldn't reset properly. I had also ran a disk verify on it and found a few errors which I had actually forgotten to fix in the older system. Would this be the root of the problem? What should I do now? Will I need to do an archive and install? I really can't lose my user settings, email, address book, etc. Is there a way to save these and back them up? If so, how and where are the files located? I have two hard drives in my tower and several back-up firewire & USB drives if needed.
Thanks,
Clayton.

Before you go the route of another install, try a couple of basic maintenance steps.
First reset PRAM. Hold the 4 keys Apple-Option-P-R while rebooting until you hear the SECOND startup chime.
When you get to the log in window, don't log in. Just Shut Down the computer.
Now do a Safe Mode boot. Hold the "shift" key while booting until you get the spinning gear on the gray Apple screen. Be patient, this will take a while. Eventually you will get to a log in window with a notation that you are booted in Safe Mode. Again, just Shut Down the computer.
Now try to boot up normally and see if things are working better for you.
PRAM holds copies of certain system settings for rapid access and if it gets out of whack all sorts of strange things can happen. A Safe Mode boot does various maintenance steps in the background as it boots up.
If your account keychain is screwed up, you may be able to fix it by doing a First Aid from the Applications / Utilities / Keychain Access application.
Alternatively, you can boot directly from the Leopard install DVD (hold the "c" key while booting) and then use the utilities in the menu bar to enable the "root" account and give it a password. The details are here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306876
After logging in as "root" you can use System Preferences / Accounts to create a new user account. If logging in to that account seems to be working properly then the problem is limited to your original account. You could diagnose that further or your could copy your personal stuff to the new account, set preferences the way you like them, and, eventually just delete the faulty account.
EDITED TO ADD: Ah! I see you found a more direct solution. Good.
