File Sharing not working properly on app

Hello,
My group has been developing an app that will run on an iPad for a company and the app needs to add or edit documents (in pdf format) to the app through itunes. We've implemented UIFileSharingEnabled in the info.plist and the app appears on iTunes that it can support file sharing. Now the problem is when we add files to the app, the files don't appear in the app itself and we've searched trying to find out what could be causing this but we're not sure what's going on.

What code have you written in the iPad app to allow the files added via iTunes to 'appear' there?

ITunes 10.6.3 home sharing not working properly

iTunes 10.6.3 home sharing not working properly. I can access with my three ATV2's watch a movie later that same day it tries to access and ATV2 just keeps trying and never gets through to the library. If I restart iTunes its fine then later can't access. I am running iTunes 10.6.3 on a i7 Mac Mini with 10.7.4. Sole job is to be iTunes server and an occasional HTPC with remote buddy running. I disabled remote buddy ajax remote feature, and file sharing is on so I can load new tracks form other macs Thats it, a vanilla install with all updates.. No problem prior but not sure if problem free period was with 10.6 earler versions or 10.5 versions. I update as warnings to do so come up. The remote app has same problem accessing the Home Share. I disabled home sharing on my iPhone and set to access the old method with 4 digit code and sees all the time and will play to my express base stations so seems to be home sharing issue because iPhone apps with home sharing on and ATV2s have issue accessing.
I'm never home but when I am I use this equipment loads and this weekend not reliable at all. I have firewall disabled, and setup is as before and is working fine. I am using Mini by ethernet and using AEBS 1st generation gigabit as router only wired to cable modem and whole house ethernet attached, latest version AEBS gigabit as a wireless bridge and 2 prior version 11n expresses and a 11g express, all expresses are set to wireless off and are connected to ethernet and then to a stereo in 3 different rooms.
I can't be only one. Considering downgrading to last version of 10.5 but not sure how to do this.
How many of you are having trouble?
Any resolutions?
How to report to Apple?
How to downgrade safely? Or is it 10.7.4?

I ran into the specific problem in another thread. There are more than 100 connections from the apple TV's to iTunes. You can do a netstat -a (windows or Mac), and verify the problem. iTunes is smart enough to stop allowing more than 100 connections but stupid to allow the ATV to create so many connections.
Now for what you really want! Set all of your ATVs to wifi only. Even setting the iTunes host to wifi might help also. I think that wifi is more unreliable, and forces connections to drop, keeping the count under 100.
I also turned off ip v6. That could help you also. I originally had problems on a Mac mini, and built a windows 7 box to try to fix the problem. The wifi trick worked on both platforms. Several of us have bug reports into apple. I have a wired house also, and am very angry to NEED to use slow wifi to overcome this problem. The ATV gen 3 has been able to keep up with 1080p over wifi, so it doesn't hurt too much. What really hurts is spending over 40 hours troubleshooting this bug.

File sharing not working 10.6

file sharing not working on 10.6

Rather more information is needed!
With what are (not) sharing?
Other computers on a network? (if so, are they all Macs or some Windows?)
Other Users on the same Mac?

.jar file is not working properly :developed in NETBEANS

Hi Gurus,
i am using NETBEANS IDE 7.2.
i am developing a project that interacts with databases 10g and COM ports of machine , these all processes are performed by .bat file which i am trying to run from jFramform , code works perfectly .bat file is also called perfectly when i run the project using F6 from the NETBEANS, for testing i placed some dialogue boxes on the form to test it ,
but when i run executable .jar file , form run successfully and dialogue box works perfectly but .bat file is not called by executable .jar file.
this is how i call the .bat file...
String filePath = "D:/pms/Libraries/portlib.bat";
        try {
          Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(filePath);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
and below is the contents of portlib.bat file
java -jar "D:\SMS\SMS\dist\SMS.jar"
you must probably ask why i am calling a .jar file using .bat file .
reason is that this .jar project sends message using GSM mobile , System.exit(); is compulsory to complete a job and then do the next one ,
if i use the same file to execute this job it makes exit to entire the application (hope you can understand my logic).
that's why i use extra .jar file in .bat file , when single job is completed .bat exits itself and new command is given.
Problem is that code is working perfectly in NETBEANS when i run the project but when i run .jar then .bat file is not working ,
thanks.

Thanks Sir ,
You need to first test an example that works like the one in the article.
There are plenty of other examples on the web - find one you like:
http://javapapers.com/core-java/os-processes-using-java-processbuilder/
I tried this one.
try {
            ProcessBuilder dirProcess = new ProcessBuilder("D:/SMS/SMS/Send_message.bat");
             File commands = new File("D:/SMS/SMS/Send_message.bat");
             File dirOut = new File("C:/process/out.txt");
             File dirErr = new File("C:/process/err.txt");
           dirProcess.redirectInput(commands);
             dirProcess.redirectOutput(dirOut);
           dirProcess.redirectError(dirErr);
             dirProcess.start();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(mainform.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
as instructed in the article i compiled both the projects at same version or sources and libraries which is 1.7
here is my version details
C:\>javac -version
javac 1.7.0_07
C:\>java -version
java version "1.7.0_07"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_07-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 23.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing)
inside the NETBEANS IDE c:\process\err.txt remains empty and code works perfectly , but when I run executable .jar file( by double clicking on that file in dist directry) then c:\process\err.txt becomes full with this error text and there is no response from calling D:\SMS\SMS\send_message.bat
here is the error text

Home sharing not working properly on my iBook OS X

Hi, I just purchased a iBook OS X, and I'm having trouble using it. I have used Windows my whole life and this is new for me.
The problem I'm having is trying to transfer my iTunes music library from my windows of to this iBook, and I have tried doing home share and authorizing computer on iBook, but it doesn't do anything. Unfortunately my windows pc is not working properly and it freezes up every time I try to log in, so I can't really do nothing with that. I can't even check if that pc's home share is turned on, which I think it is.
Do you guys have any idea how I can transfer my music library without having to use my windows pc?
Please helppppp! I purchased this laptop from a guy, so I don't fall in the complimentary service and can't afford to pay apple care.
Thank you

Check this, perhaps it helps you to move your stuff over:

ITunes app file sharing not working with iOS 7.1.1

After upgrading my iPad 2 to iOS 7.1.1, I can't use the app file sharing in the latest version of iTunes on Windows 7. I first noticed it with the Kindle Reader app but confirmed that it also isn't working with GoodReader, HDExplorer, and Notability. Any ideas?

It continues to be UNREAL how Apple will release iOS software without testing it. Yep. They BROKE WIFI SYNC. It no longer works on my iPhones or iPads either. UNREAL!!!!!!

File Monitor - Not working properly on SMB file share

The "File Monitor" does not trigger on SMB file share, i think this might be a bug.
I have tried the same "File Monitor" on a windows share, and it works like intended. However, when I use the same runbook on a Solaris SMB share, it does not trigger properly. It triggers when I delete or rename a file, but not any thing else (like
create, changed, etc) I have turned all the triggers on just to see what actually makes it trigger...
I'm using specified authentication (domain user and password)
The SMB folder is shared on a Solaris (SunOS 5.10).
Can anyone confirm that they also have this problem?
Is there a patch to fix this? Thanks.

Can someone please verify that they also have this problem?
Thanks.

Screen sharing and file sharing not working on LAN

This is not a Mavericks specific problem since it existed before I upgraded to Mavericks. I have a LAN that consists of 3 MBPs and 1 MacPro.
Local screen sharing and file sharing works fine on all of these computers except for one MBP. From this MBP I am able to connect to all of the other computers for screen sharing and file sharing. But I can't connect to this particular MBP for screen sharing or file sharing from any of the other Macs.
This MBP shows up in the left hand side column under "Shared" on all the other computers. But I am unable to make a connection from any computer to the problematic MBP. I get the message, "There was a problem connecting to the server "xxxxxxxx". The server may not exist or is unavailable at this time".
I have tried toggling off and on screen sharing and file sharing with no effect. One probably pertinent strange thing that I notice is that under the Screen Sharing set up the green button next to "Screen Sharing:On" is green. But the message under it states:
"Other users can access your computer's screen
at vnc://johnmacbookproretina/ or by looking for “John MacBook Pro” in the Finder sidebar."
The problem is that my computer name is "John MacBook Pro" and the LocalHostName is "JohnMBPr.local". I believe that at some point in the past the computer name and/or LocalHostName was "johnmacbookproretina".
Similiarly, under File Sharing I am informed:
"Other users can access shared folders on this computer, and administrators all volumes, at “afp://johnmacbookproretina” or “smb://johnmacbookproretina”."
I would appreciate any help I could get to resolve this perplexing issue. Thanks.
John

I've finally been able to solve my own problem.
File sharing and screen sharing on the problematic MBP was being blocked by firewall rules that had been set up several weeks ago when I had installed a trial version of DoorStop X firewall software. I had previously trashed the app when the 30 day trial ended. I did not realize that the software had left a set of firewall rules in the Library/StartupItems folder. Among other things, the rules were set to deny access to the computer on the ports used for file sharing and screen sharing. Once I trashed the DoorStopStartup folder in the StartUpItems folder all the connection problems resolved with a computer restart.

File sharing not working

First, sorry this is so long but it needs a good explanation. I first posted this in the airport forum but I have decided it must not be an airport problem. Here it is: I have two macs and a pc connected wirelessly by a linksys wrt54g. The macs have worked perfectly for quite a while but the pc refused to stay connected due to a weak signal even though only 50 feet from the access point. After trying signal boosting antennas and such I finally moved the access point and wired the pc directly to the router. After resetting everything the pc now works fine, the macs connect to the internet and can connect to the pc, the pc can see the macs, but the two macs can no longer see each other. All settings are the same as before. The wireless network seems to be working fine, It seems like file sharing is not working between the macs. I have tried resetting everything several times. I turned off file sharing, restarted the macs , repaired permissions, restarted the macs and then restarted file sharing. Still no go. I'm not new at this but this really has me puzzled. Does anyone have any ideas?

A simple possibility is that you just don't have also have "Personal File Sharing" turned on for the Macs.
Otherwise, I bet it's on the PC end. Under windows filesharing (SMB), one machine will take control as the server. When there is a PC on the net, the Macs will generally cede that responsibility to the PC Try watching for that in the console log: take all the CPUs off the net, bring a Mac on, then the PC, open the "Console" app on the Mac, and look at the messages. If the problem -is- on the PC end, I'm sorry, but I'm not PC-savvy enough to tell you how to fix it. Hopefully, this will get you closer.

Two Macs Networked, file sharing not working correctly

Okay, I've had a Mac Pro since February this year and it has been connected to a new iMac since about two days ago. Both computers can see each other on the ethernet network (their respective icons appear in the Finder sidebar). However, something weird is happening because not only are the correct "iMac" and "Mac Pro" icons showing, but also Windows "blue screen of death" icons are appearing also! These icons are named "mac001ffXXXXXXX" where XXXXXXX are a bunch of numbers. I can access the other computer's files by clicking on EITHER the official Mac icons in the sidebar, OR by clicking on the "blue screen of death" icons.
It should be noted that a Windows XP computer is also a part of this network. I currently have only the AFP sharing option selected (I did have both AFP and SMB, but I disabled SMB because Windows sharing is not really needed), but still the old Windows icon is appearing alongside the iMac icon -- both icons applicable to the iMac.
I believe this problem is connected to the file sharing issue I am having. While folders I have shared on the iMac can be seen by the Mac Pro, files on the Mac Pro for which I have specified Read and Write guest access to "Everyone" are not visible on the iMac -- the only way to access these files is to log in as a Registered User. I have tried a whole bunch of different things, but nothing seems to work. I was under the impression that communication between two Macs would be completely problem-free!
So is there something I am missing, or is it a Leopard issue?

A simple possibility is that you just don't have also have "Personal File Sharing" turned on for the Macs.
Otherwise, I bet it's on the PC end. Under windows filesharing (SMB), one machine will take control as the server. When there is a PC on the net, the Macs will generally cede that responsibility to the PC Try watching for that in the console log: take all the CPUs off the net, bring a Mac on, then the PC, open the "Console" app on the Mac, and look at the messages.

Mac to Mac file sharing not working for new folders

My folks got a new iMac today, and I've got a 2007 iMac on the same network. We're both running 10.8.2.
I had a few folders set up to share files. My public folder, Movies, and then a new fold called "Mom" that I set up specifically for them. The settings are identical on all the folders, but they can only access "Movies." If I try to access any other shared folders from their machine, I get the following error:
"The operation cannot be completed because the original item for "[insert folder name]" cannot be found."
I have read the Mac 101: File Sharing document (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1549?viewlocale=en_US) and followed the directions to no avail. I have removed and re-added all the folders, and still, only "Movies" is readable from their iMac (it too was removed and re-added). The settings for all the folders are identical to the settings for "Movies."
Additionally, after a short period any new folder I create and use as a shared folder will no longer allow me to rename it, even after I remove it from the shared folders list. The folders are not locked, and I have full admin privileges.
(Things work fine the other way, though: I can set up shared folders on their new iMac and access them just fine from my 2007 iMac.)

hi there,
that error message sounds like you placed a shared folder within a parent folder that is not shared. It also can help to boot into Recovery Mode (pressing Command and R simultanously when hearing the startup tune), launch Disk Utility, select the disk containing your OSX installation (usually named Macintosh HD) and choose Verify Disk Permissions. Should any problems be reported select Repair Disk Permissions. Once that is finished, reboot normally.
Though unlikely, it might have happened during all the folder removing and readding that some Permissions are out of sync. So checking these Permissions is merely a precaution
Once you are back in "normal" OSX using your admin account, try this:
Open Terminal from the Utilites folder
enter the following commands one line at a time:
mkdir /Users/Shared/Family
mkdir /Users/Shared/Family/Movies
mkdir /Users/Shared/Family/Mom
chown -R <placeholder> /Users/Shared/Family
chmod -R 755 /Users/Shared/Family
Be sure to replace <placeholder> with your account's short name (no brackets!)
Now open System Preferences and select Sharing
Select File Sharing from the left pane
Click on the little plus and add /Users/Shared/Family to your shares (The subfolders are automatically included)
in the right most pane check the access privileges. They are set, so that you can read and write to those folders, while everyone else can only read. If you want everybody to have read and write privileges, use 777 instead of 755 within the terminal last command.
Now the other computers should be able to see and use the shared folder you just created.
If you create individual user accounts on your machine for every family member you want to access the shared folders, you can choose far more sophisticated levels of access privileges.
Hope this helps,
Chris

HELP: Yosemite server file sharing not working

Yosemite server and OS.latest
I have followed all the steps:
Set up DNS
Set up OD Master
Added users one at a time, then added them to groups
Added shares in File Sharing and allocated groups to shares
Just in case, I propagated permissions from storage tab
All relevant services turned on
Problem: when I test the logins from another local machine, either the credentials aren't recognised, or the only share is admin's drop folder; there should be 4 others.
Urgently need to get this running; what on earth can I have done wrong?
Thanks

"Once credentials are submitted, the share is mounted without the need to select it - is this normal?"
yes , unless there are other shares as options.
"The share I need reports: drwxrwx---@ 22 admin all-staff 748 16 Mar 14:38 Current Work, so that looks right."
only posix owner and group are allowed which is admin all-staff. Are these groups available in LDAP ?
really you should have something like
drwxrwxr-x+ 12 root admin 408 Mar 15 22:32 MyShare
that little + then allows other users or groups to access the filesystem.
do an " ls -le " to see more
sample;
drwxrwxr-x+ 12 root admin 408 Mar 15 22:32 MyShare
ls -le
drwxrwxr-x+ 12 root admin 408 Mar 15 22:32 MyShare
0: user:_spotlight inherited allow list,search,file_inherit,directory_inherit
---- then I can allow other access rules.
Using the Gui in osx server I gave read/write access to the IT_dudes Group on the Share. *note the group is an active directory group from the NT Domain named BETH.
This server is bound.
drwxrwxr-x+ 12 root admin 408 Mar 15 22:32 MyShare
0: user:_spotlight inherited allow list,search,file_inherit,directory_inherit
1: group:BETH\IT_Dudes allow list,add_file,search,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextat tr,writeextattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directory_inherit

MacBook Pro Trackpad Secondary Click not working properly - switching apps

I have a MacBook Pro 15" (new Core 2 Duo) with 10.4.8. On my main account, when I try and use the trackpad's two-finger-click to perform the secondary click functionality, I have a problem where instead of showing the secondary menu (same as control-click) it instead shows me the application switch screen (same as you see when entering command-tab).
I logged in under a new user account and enabled secondary click and it works properly -- so this appears to be either a conflict/issue in a plist (though I deleted the plist for mouse and keyboard and the issue still remains) or possibly with some other application/utility that is installed.
Without recreating my world one-by-one, any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Brian
MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 15" 2.33 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8) Using SOHO Notes, Yojimbo, StuffIt, and QuickSilver

Update on the situation:
1) Reboot in Safe Mode (shift-key down at start-up) -- secondary click still shows the application switcher.
2) Ran Onyx -- Execute the defaults (no others) in the Automation tab and after rebooting the issue still persists.
3) I removed the Microsoft drivers from my system and all plist files -- and reinstalled the MS drivers. On first use of the right-button on the mouse, I got the same "secondary click" response that I get with the trackpad. Before the uninstall it had worked correctly. I remember looking at the MS Mouse config options and it showed the right button performing a control-click. Now, with the preferences at their defaults from the software removal and reinstallation, I see there is an option -- and it is the default option, that the right-mouse button performs a "secondary click".
So it isn't a trackpad or mouse issue, it is an issue that somehow the default system behavior for a secondary click has been changed from displaying the alternate menu to showing the application switcher.
So the question is, what application or utility changed that? I was evaluating the Apple Mighty Mouse a few months ago and decided against it -- the right sensor seemed to fail often. Did that have an option to modify the secondary-click? I have Google and searched for tersm like ["secondary click" setting change modification hack, etc] and haven't seen any mention of that ability -- but clearly on my machine under my main user account, this is happening.
I hope that helps get one step closer.
Thanks in advance.

File sharing not working for any new accounts

I am using the latest version of Mavericks. For every new account I set up (Sharing, Administrative, Standard) trying to set up file sharing on a directory fails. When I set up the account, select a directory (on the boot drive or on an external drive) to share and do a get Info it always shows "Fetching..." on the new account. If I try to set that directory to share from an account in SysPref>Sharing when I click on the directory and try to set the account to share, even though the account shows up in the list of accounts to use, when I select any new account it does NOT show up as selected for sharing. It is as though the new account isn't quite being correctly set by the system. If I launch and look at any new account in WorkGroup manager they appear to be normal but cannot be used in File Sharing. I am really scratching my head on this, since I do everything I should to share a directory and all new accounts are just not working.
Any ideas or suggestions??????????????? HELP HELP!

Mac - Windows File Sharing not working

Hi there,
I want to use Lion's SMB File Sharing from my MacBook Pro (mid-2012) and my PC running Windows XP. Currently, my list of Windows users on my Mac is empty, and everytime I try to log in from my PC, I get a prompt asking me to log in, but no matter which passwords I enter, they don't work.
Can anyon help me? Thanks!
PS A bit off topic, but my Screen Sharing option is missing too...

OK, good. (although, dd-wrt doess appear to be non-standard openSource firmware, making these routers harder to troubleshoot for us mere mortals).
But, yes about network name. if you can see the Mac in NetworkPlaces, this is good.
Thank you for clarifying bit-by-bit that the work network and the home network are your own setups, and the they're that identical.
As much information as you can provide is helpful.
I think you're going to find concrete clues to your problems...in the samba logs. it's not really a "test", it's merely looking into the logs during the time ( or finding the times where the connection fails)...and you will find the reasons that the connection fails.
Good luck
