File shareing is not working WHY

I have an Imac running 10.7 and a g5 running 10.5.8 the G5 we are usung as an in house server. It working fine for 5 months then our internet went down and now it no longer works. This is how I have it set up. on the g5 I have file shareing turned on and the folder I would like to share set to share. Then I made logins for for the computer I want to share the folder with. The on the Imac I would go to connect to server and the g5 would show up then it would ask me to login so I did. everthing worked fine but now when I try to login it just gives me the spinning wheel but never logs in why is it doing this? I have restarted both computers
and I have deleated my login and re added it. But still the same thing

any ideas?

    file sharing is not working from pc to imac os x 10.9.2

    Hello there Karen,
    It sounds like you are having to power cycle your modem to get internet back every single day. We can start by troubleshooting your Airport Express to help isolate the issue. I would first perform a Soft Reset, then test the issue again. If needed as a last resort I would then perform a Hard Reset:
    Soft reset
    Connect the device to power and wait for it to complete its start up process. To learn more about the start up process, please see All about Wi-Fi base station Status Lights (LED).
    Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip for 1 full second, then release it. The light (LED) will begin flashing amber, indicating that the device is in soft reset mode.
    From the AirPort menu bar item, choose the network created by the device (the network name does not change).
    Open AirPort Utility from Applications > Utilities.
    Select the base station, then click Edit (The Edit window will indicate that the base station is in Soft Reset mode).
    Move through the tabs to make changes to your passwords or other settings as needed, and click Update and Continue as required
    Quit AirPort Utility.
    Hard reset
    Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about five seconds.
    Release the button and the device will reset.
    Wait about a minute for the base station to finish restarting, then open AirPort Utility from Applications > Utilities.
    Select the base station from Other Wi-Fi Devices, then click Edit.
    Select the Other Options button.
    Select "Restore previous settings" and click Next until you get to the final window.
    AirPort Utility will indicate that Setup is complete. Click Done.
    Quit AirPort Utility.

  • Personal file sharing is not working from Snow Leopard (10.6)

    I am having hard time making the personal file sharing on my MacBook running 10.4.11 accessible from my work computer MacBook Pro running 10.6.2.
    They are connected to the same router.
    On 10.4.11 MacBook side, I turned off Firewall and started Personal File Sharing.
    On 10.6.2 MacBook Pro, I saw the MacBook below "SHARED" in the side bar of Finder window. I double clicked on the icon. It showed all users of the MacBook. I double clicked on one user, then an error dialog showed and the connection had been disconnected. Since then, only "Not Connected" is shown in the Finder window. There is no Reconnect button. I had to reboot 10.4.11.
    Should 10.6.2 be able to open the public folders on 10.4.11?
    What is the best way to trouble shoot this?

    I had much the same problem except that it was a PB running 10.4.11 to a G4 running same.
    Check this article - http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070226213016446
    The PB could connect to an iMac with no problem and the G4 could connect to the PB and iMac and vice versa.
    Turns out that com.apple.ByteRangeLocking.plist had been deleted from the G4 Root Library at some point. Copied it from the user preference file and everything now works again.

  • File sharing does not work

    I have a network of 4 Macs.  Up until recently I was able to use file sharing and screen sharing between all of them in any direction.  Recently one of the Macs has become inaccessible for both  file sharing and screen sharing from one of the other Macs however file sharing still works from the others while screen sharing does not.  I am pretty sure that none of the comfiguration has changed.  Any ideas what has goen wrong and how to fix it?

    This post https://discussions.apple.com/message/10400761#10400761 resolved my issue.  Just in case it may help someone else.

  • File Sharing tab not working?

    Hi,
    I am having a problem with iTunes and my iPad today: I have a couple of apps that allow sharing of content, such as iMockups, Pages, VLC, etc.
    I wanted to add a video to VLC by using the file sharing tab and adding the video either by the "add..." button or just dragging it into the screen (like I did before), but nothing happened. In fact, nothing at all is showing on the right hand side for ANY app!
    So I disconnected the iPad and looked at the apps, and all three apps I tested (Pages, VLC and iMockups) have their respective files still there, so they were not lost or anything.
    So I went and reconnected the iPad, and for the time the iPad synchs with iTunes I can see all files! But once the synch completes I cannot?!
    Has anyone come across this before? Is there a fix for that?
    Thanks for your time
    Alex

    The issue has been resolved, turned out to be a bad backup of the iPad. Restoring it to a different backup fixed it.

  • File sharing is not working between iMac and MacBook

    I had been sharing files between my iMac and MacBook.  My settings haven't changed and all of the sudden my shared files aren' t showing up in the sidebar.  Firewall settings show to allow file sharing.

  • Screen Sharing Works, File sharing does not work

    Up until yesterday everything seemed to be working fine, I could connect to my mini over my network and get files from it. Now I am not sure what I did, but everytime I click on the mac mini in the finder it says connection failed. I can still do screen sharing with it which seems strange. I tried resetting both machines and my router. My internet still works fine on both machines and I am pretty sure it isn't an IP issue because my router assigns both machines static IPs.

    Try working through the setup procedure from scratch, as detailed here:

  • Home Sharing does not work. It's time for Apple to act.

    My specific question: Does anyone from Apple read these discussions *and* use the information to fix iTunes?
    My issue (and I've given up on this): Home Sharing does not work and it needs to be fixed. I use a Windows 7 based PC and can successfully access my iTunes library from my iPad, meaning all network requirements are met. However many artists and albums do not appear. I know this is not about the tagging/data for the albums.
    I found recommendations in these forums regarding the iTunes database (.itl), that this is a sign that the database is corrupted, and how to re-create it from the xml version. I used this technique and it did fix the problem - all albums and artists appeared. But within a day or so, they disappear again, meaning the .itl file is corrupted again and has to be re-created again. Also - if the .itl file is corrupted, then why does everything appear fine in iTunes? Somewhere, somehow the data are good enough to make iTunes work properly.
    Bottom line: If you can't get the basics right, then Home Sharing does not work. Some very helpful forum commenters said it could have something to do with the anti-virus software, but that is just passing the buck.  I should not have to know how to do all this. I should be able to turn on Home Sharing and enjoy the music from my iPads, iPhone, etc. Imagine you have to know how fuel injection works and be able to fix it every two days just to use your car - you should be able to turn the key and drive.
    There are more problems - I won't even get into how the album won't display properly on the iPad and other annoyances.
    Apple? Are you listening? Home Sharing does not work. It is the opposite of the image projected of easy-to-use, people-friendly products.
    I suggest you either make it work or turn off the feature.
    Joe

    If your database is constantly becoming corrupt, you have a problem on your computer, it is nothing to do with homesharing. The corrupt database does not affect iTunes because that uses another file. It's not passing the buck, by considering whether anti-virus software might be causing this, this is the sort of stuff anti-virus software does (although I'm not saying that's what it is in your case-I don't know at this stage), you can't hold Apple accountable for badly written software that you have put on your computer yourself.
    If you can't correctly identify what is causing your problem, you are never going to fix it.

  • HT204291 After updating software on my Apple TV home sharing will not work. Both Apple TV and iMac have home sharing on but when Computer is selected on Apple TV I just get a message saying "turn home sharing on".  But it is.  How can I solve this problem

    I have just updated the software on my Apple TV since then home sharing will not work though I had not used it since installing iOS6 on my iPad 3.  Home sharing is shown to be on on the Apple TV and on on my iMac.  The Apple TV is connected to the router with an ethernet cable and all functions work correctly apart from my computer.
    I have done the following. 
    Switched off the Apple TV and rebooted, did the same with iMac
    Turned off home sharing then turned it on.
    Checked that home sharing is on on both devices.
    Selected Computer
    Get a message telling me to turn home sharing on - IT IS!
    Tried using airplay mirroring on the iPad but the airplay function is missing from iPad.
    It is so annoying since before iOS6 and updating the Apple TV software everything worked perfectly.  Any help would be very gratefully received.
    Thanks

    Hi Everyone,
    hope this message finds you all in time. The recent Apple TV update 5.1 is terrible. Apple knows it is which is why (thankfully for some relentless user -I have no idea who but I believe it was under threat) they have allowed to sign 5.0.2 again which means you can downgrade your Apple TV 2 and 3 to a 5.0.2 version via iTunes. Who knows how long they will keep the window open but I have downgraded my ATV early this morning. I couldn't post this earlier because I was out all day but I am doing it now.
    Here's how to do it:
    1) Connect your ATV to your computer via a Mini USB (not included with ATV but included with many other electronic devices) - in order for your ATV to appear in iTunes you must FIRST plug the USB cable to your computer and ATV and only THEN plug the power cable.
    2) Download your ipsw restore file from Apple.
    5.0.2 (ATV 2): AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
    5.0.2 (ATV 3): AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
    3) In iTunes select yout ATV, hold SHIFT and click on Restore
    4) Find and choose the downloaded IPSW file in the Open Dialog Box and hit Next
    5) As long as Apple still signs that version the Restore process will begin and will take a few minutes to complete.
    Enjoy!

  • Hyperlink to file in JSP not working

    I have a JSP page where I am providing a hyperlink to a file on the C: drive as follows
    Try this
    Nothing happens when I click this hyperlink.
    When I scroll over the hyperlink I see the correct path "file:///C:/ReqImport/data.txt" in the status bar and when paste this path in my address bar, it does open up the file.
    Any ideas why this file hyperlink does not work on this JSP page.
    Thanks

    Hmm, you're right, I just tried it and it doesn't appear to work. It looks like a security thing: If the original page is on my hard drive, links to other files on my hard drive work. But when the original page is on a web server, links to files on my hard drive don't appear to work.
    Do you realize that such a link is referring to a file on the C: drive of the client, the user, not the C: drive of the server? I'm not sure what you're up to, but for most applications such a link is pretty much useless, as you normally have no way of knowing what files the user has on his C: drive.

    HI,
    When I import PSD file then Catalyst stopped working .why? it's a BUG?

    I'm an a mac, and I haven't had the problem, so I'm not the best for advice. That said, I am sure FC on the pc can import .psd file. I would check the psd for anything "abnormal". If it is a complicated file, simplify as much as possible, flatten effects especially.

  • What P2P file sharing programs will work with 10.4?

    I tried downloading utorrent, vuze, frostwire and a couple others but they said java had an error or it needed to be at least version 6.  but when i tried to update java it didnt install and jsut stayed at 5.  are there any file sharing programs that work with java 5 and OS X 10.4?  Thanks!

    I'm not on 10.4 at the moment, but there saare APPs that work if you can find them, but if you can upgrade then that would be even better...

        *  Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor

    You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it! Helps to tell them you have an iPad/iPhone & you can't run 10.6.
    There are workarounds if the 867MHz is the only hangup...

  • Home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update.

    home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update. Does anyone else have the same issue. Updated all computers in my home, deauthorized and reauthorized each computer. turn off home sharing and turned it back on. don't know what else to do..please help...

    Our Apple TVs continue to lose connection ever since installing Mountain Lion on the host computer. The only thing that fixes them is to quit and relaunch iTunes, which only works unti the ATV goes to sleep. If a movie is paused for more than a few minutes and the ATV goes to sleep, pressing play again on the remote is greeted with "There are no movies on this computer" or "Turn on Home Sharing."
    If we stop a video on one ATV and attempt to resume it in another room, the error begins again. The other ATV can't connect until iTunes is relaunched.
    My guess is that it has something to do with the new [annoying] security settings. But I still haven't found a fix other than restarting iTunes everytime we want to watch something from our downloads. Fail.
