File Sharing Missing from System Preferences Sharing

Hello, I am running MAC OSX Server 10.5.8. When I open System Preferences and click on Sharing I do not see the option to enable File Sharing. What must I do to get that to show up in the list? Right now my list looks like this...
__ DVD or CD Sharing
__ Screen Sharing
__ Remote Login
__ Remote Management
__ Remote Apple Events
__ Bluetooth Sharing
That's it. No File Sharing and everything I have searched to this point makes me believe it should be there.
Also, I have enabled AFP, NFS, SMP in the Server Admin. I have also turned off Firewall just to see what happened. Nothing.
Thanks for your help.

  • Icon missing from System Preference on MacBook Pro. Please Help

    The icon for my mail, contacts and calendars is no longer under my System Preferences. Can someone help me get it back? Thanks.

    If you're running the OS version in your profile, you never had that icon. Assuming the profile is wrong, do as follows.
    Select
    View ▹ Customize...
    from the System Preferences menu bar. If the missing icon appears, check the box next to it, or click Show All. Then click Done.

  • Energy Saver Options Tab missing from System Preferences Pance

    Recently I upgraded with Combo Update Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on my Mac Pro and now I find that I have no Options Tab in the Energy Saver Pane of System Preferences. All the options that used to be available there cannot now be accessed. Sleep\Wake is functioning fine, and I can't remember what settings I had or even used. It has not been critical for me so I rarely check these options. It is possible that the tab disappeared when I applied the latest Security Update a few days ago - I'm not sure. Since the big weekend storm here I want to use the automatic restart after power failure feature that I think lived behind that tab. Thanks for any help.

    I should say that I rarely, if ever, use the lower missing options mentioned above. If I am accessing the Mac Pro from my other local computers I just wake up the Mac Pro. And I can't ever remember wanting my computer to restart after a power failure. If we have a power failure in this area, it is likely to come back on and then just as suddenly go off again. Not a good thing, I would imagine, for delicate electronics. Usually I wait 30 minutes to an hour after the power resumes in my home before powering up any electronic equipment.
    I do wonder why the options disappeared though.

  • Icloud icon Missing from system preferences

    Why can I not find my icloud icon in system preferences?  Help!!!

    Because you're running Snow Leopard (10.6.8 as noted in your profile)?
    You must upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion to 'get' iCloud. Or just wait until Mavericks is released later this fall. You can directly upgrade now to Mountain Lion, if your system has the right specifications -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5444 - or wait for Mavericks. Your call. Mountain Lion is $20 and available from the Mac App Store: Apple hasn't announced a price for Mavericks.
    Good luck,

  • Why is the padlock missing from System Preferences, App Store?

    I noticed that System Preferences, App Store no longer shows a padlock at the lower left hand corner, yet other System Preference windows show the padlock. Why is that? Is there a way to restore the padlock? I have already tried "repairing" my install and the padlock did not come back. Thank you.

    This will answer everyone of y'all, why some have it and why some don't.
    System Preferences---> Security & Privacy---> (unlock the PadLock)---> Advance---> checkmark the "Require an administrator password to access system-wide preferences."
    Before I checked that, I had the same set up as FoxFifth. Where App Store, Time Machine and others did not have the PadLock. However, after checking it. The App Store and Time Machine did have a PadLock.

  • Text missing from system preferences permissions window

    I recently changed the short name on a 2009 (I think) Mac running OS 10.6.3.  Everything transfered over fine, but when I went to disable the root user, the window asking the username and password appears completely blank (see picture below).
    It's only happening with one user and only within systems preferences.  I can select the different fields, but the text is not visible.  However, I have been able to enter the information and proceed to unlocking the area.
    If anyone out there knows how to fix this, your help and  knowledge will be much appreciated!!
    Thanks,
    Casey

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them, then boot in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.

  • File Sharing Missing from Sharing in System Preferences

    I had file sharing working, and today I can no longer connect from a windows PC. When I go to System Preferences, Sharing, File Sharing is missing in the list. The only options are the following:
    DVD or CD SHaring
    Screen Sharing
    Remote Login
    Remote Management
    Remote Apple Events
    Bluetooth Sharing
    Not 100% sure when it stopped working, but I think the last change was upgrading to VMware Fusion v2.0.5 fron 2.0.*, and I upgraded to 4GB of RAM. Also I noticed my hostname had changed with a 2 at the end (HOSTNAME 2). Not sure when that happened, but thought it could be relevant. Any ideas?

    It is strange - it almost seems like your machine has two copies of your OS, one with the normal hostname, and one with the hostname with a 2. I can't imagine something like that happening, unless the VMWare somehow imported your Mac OS - or that a backup copy of the Mac OS was installed on a separate partition on your Mac, and somehow you're logging into that 2nd copy without realizing it. (Twilight Zone music here!)
    Does your Mac otherwise boot up normally? Have you tried using the disk utility to do a disk check (and see if some ghost partition shows up)? Or, have you already done the dreaded re-install?

    Hi!
    I have a WD my book external hard drive plugged into my imac and I want to share it over my network with my apple tv. I went into system preferences > sharing, checked "file sharing" and added my external hard drive to the shared folder. So now it is listed in "shared folders" but under "users" everything is grayed out (it says "read and write" for "everyone" - but "read and write" is grayed out, and it doesn't let me add or subtract users). Now I can access all of the folders I shared from my imac except for the externalhard drive. What's going on?

    Hi RRFS!,thanks for help.I forgot to tell that hard drive has 2 partitions 1:format :Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and that works properly,2:format:MS-DOS (FAT32) and when i "get info" for both :first has shering & permitions:You can read and write - with name and privilege, second has shaing & prermissions:You can read and write- without name and privilege

  • How to delete the Calander Server account under the options tab in file sharing in your system preferences?

    When I go under System Preferences-Sharing-File Sharing-Options there is an account listed called "Calender Server" that is checked. When I try to uncheck it, it asks for a password to turn it off and I don't know the password. How do I either turn this off or get rid of it?

  • Missing "sharing" option in system preferences after installing apple remote desktop client version 2.10

    Hi All,
    I installed a wrong version of Apple remote desktop client , 2.10 and the sharing menu under system preferences vanished. I tried to uninstall the Apple remote desktop with,
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2577
    but no luck, but after restarting the macbook pro with lion 10.7.2, i see my sharing option enabled but when clicked, it says the system preference has to restart and confirming that it restarts in 32 bit mode and even after clciking the sharing option it says, "you can't open sharing preferences because it doesn't work on an intel-based mac"
    . So i strongly believe the apple remote desktop is creating the issue.
    Can someone help how to fix this please?
    Thanks

    Same problem here. I manage several remote Macs, but I have one MacBook which I can get no ARD access to (black icon). I can ping the IP, I can SSH into the MacBook, the ARD and Remote Login services are checked ON, the firewall is OFF. The ARD service is configured to allow my admin user full access - however, I get nothing. I have no trouble getting into the other Macs.
    Any ideas?

  • System preferences, sharing, remote management?

    Hello,
    Could someone tell me where I can find more information of how to use remote management that is under system preferences, sharing. What is the difference between screen sharing and remote management? It will be a great help as I am learning my way round my mybook and this feature would be of great help.
    Thanks!

    Hi Allan,
    Open System Preferences (Applications folder) and click the Sharing icon. Very bottom right of that window click the ? mark. That will prompt the Help Viewer for the Sharing preferences. You can type in keywords at the top of that window in the search field. Example: Remote Management

  • System Preferences Sharing – what is the default security setup?

    Hi
    I have been searching for documentation about whether or not the services offered in System Preferences > Sharing is securely encrypted or not.
    I know that the Remote Login is just SSH, and that is considered secure.
    But what about Screen Sharing (VNC) and File Sharing (AFP)?

    You are right - naked file sharing over the internet is a bad idea.
    However, you can set it up within an "SSH tunnel", which encrypts the data.
    An overview of the general concept can be found here (http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1816). It is arcane (fun for some!) and uses a bit of command line magic, but it works.
    Alternatively, you can use a service like "logmein", which does most of the heavy lifting for you.

  • System Preferences Sharing Internet Airport

    System 10.4.11
    In System Preferences>Sharing>Internet my wife's iBook lists three check box options: Built-in Ethernet, Built-in Firewire and Airport. My Powerbook with the same system does not list the Airport option. How can I add it? Thanks.

    I've now found that on my Powerbook the Airport choice shows up if after the "Share your connection from" I chose something other than Airport. Not so with my wife's iBook Airport is always a choice. Now I am confused.

    Hi,
    For others.
    The Firewall is in System Preferences > Security > Firewall
    There are then slight variances in Leopard and Snow Leopard/Lion about when you turn it ON and when you can access the Advanced Button
    If it is set to ON then you need to go to the Advanced Button and Enable Allow Signed software
    You may also need to add iChat (Or message beta) to the List.
    NOTE
    Enabling Stealth will stop iChat/Messages from working.
