File Sharing on the Network not working properly

Hoping someone can help and not really sure if its the right place to ask but I am totally at a loss so thought I would give it go. Technically it is an issue with logging onto the Shared Folders from a Media Player but not sure if the issue has been caused by settings on the Mac.
I have an IMAC with shared folders that can be accessed on a network. Can be accessed fine by all users.
I also share the folders with a Philips Media Player HMP/5000 which allows you to stream media via wifi from your network. I have had no issues with it streaming from the Mac up until yesterday when I upgraded to Maverick Operating. System.  Now when I try to access the shared folders the Philips Media Device wants a Network Login and Password which it never wanted before. I changed none of my file sharing permissions and everything is as it was. I don't understand why all of a sudden it wants a network login. I have tried my user name and password for my Mac but that doesn't work.
Nothing in the UserGuide for the Media Player talks about this. I contacted Philips and they said it is an issue with my computer not letting me access the files.
I am wondering if the upgrade to Maverick has somehow changed some sort of settings somewhere which no longer allows this device to access the shared folders?
My file Sharing is on and states that everyone has access. My firewall is turned off.
Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.

Although not directly an answer to your question, I recommend you use a wifi router to allow all your devices to get onto the Internet. I never recommend using Internet Sharing with a computer. Sorry I could not directly answer your question.
That said, someone will be along to help you with Internet Sharing.

  • Power book G4 Leopard 10.5.8. File sharing preference checked but not working after start up until unchecked and the rechecked?

    I hope the title is enough info, please ask. In the mean time I have created an applescript to open preferences/ sharing and uncheck then check the file sharing box. This works but I would obviously prefer it just work normally. I have no corrupt preference files. Perhaps a file is missing? Thank you.

    Greetings Kwnez
    I'm not up to your level of expertise yet. I'm networking and file sharing too, on my Mac Powerbook 1.33 GHz PowerPC G4; OS 10.5.8 Lepoard. At the public library I found by asking the clerk a book Authored by David Pogue. "Mac OS X Leopard the Missing Manual". It (the book) has helped me ask better questions. I'm not saying that your question "
    Power book G4 Leopard 10.5.8. File sharing preference checked but not working after start up until unchecked and the rechecked?
    is hard for me to understand, I went to system preferences and looked at the sharing box. when I clik it it opens up and the first thing I see is my computers name, and under that i see, " Computers on your local network can access your computer at: ...-powerbook-g4-15.local"
    What I'm saying is "Are we on the same Page"

  • File Sharing Between 2 iMacs not working on Leopard

    My son and I have iMacs on a home LAN as part of a larger network comprising four computers. Prior to the last Leopard update (both iMacs are recent Intels with Leopard), we could reciprocally share content via the Finder under "Shared". Now, I can access his computer with no problems, but when he tries to access mine, the connection fails. I have read that this is a glitch of the Leopard update, but can anyone help? We are running the identical OS update, our Firewall settings are set for specific applications including AFP, sharing is set to "On", yet I can mount his HD but he can't mount mine.
    It's driving us crazy! Why my computer shows up on his Shared menu under finder but doesn't connect after having done so prior to the first Leopard update tells me that something in the update may have screwed things up. Please help!

    hi,
    we just got another mac and i'd like to copy files between the two we now have. I enable file sharing on the source computer, it shows the 'public' and 'downloads' directorie as shared directories.
    i can see this machine and these two directories on the secondary mac (the one i want to copy file to). the issue is, any additional directory i share in the source computer do not show on the secondary mac. i tried adding directories throug hthe file sharing screen and through 'get info' on a folder and marking 'shared folder' but nothing makes these folders show in the secondary computer.
    i've tried disconnecting the secondary, reconnecting, nothing manages to refresh the list of shared directories.
    am i missing an important step along the way? i'd like to avoid having to copy all my files to the 'public' folder just in order to share them.
    thanks
    You are connecting as a guest. To connect as an administrator, in the Finder either click connect as, or if you are already connected as guest, click disconnect and then click connect as.
    A login window will appear. Enter the administrator username and password for the other machine and you have full access to all the files.

  • Personal File sharing is on but not working

    This problem has been plaguing me for some months. When I try to access the problem computer on the network it will not show up until I turn off Personal File Sharing and then turn it back on. Then all works fine for several days until it doesn't work, and then I repeat the process (turn PFS off and then back on again) to make it work. I can't make an association with any third party programs that might be contributing to the problem.
    I thought that the problem might go away with the purchase of a new iMac (10.4.10) and initialized with Migration Manager. Apparently, I imported the problem.
    In the past I've tried restart with opt-cmd-P-R which works for awhile and then the process start over again. I've also tried dragged /Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist to the trash and restarted.
    Anybody have any ideas on how to solve this one? Is there a log file that might show when PFS is tampered with?
    Thanks in advance.

    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Also, if you trash those files again, and it re-occures again, I'd suspect RAM maybe.

  • Printer and File Sharing with Windows is not working

    I have a MacBook Pro, Vista machine, and an XP machine on my network.
    The MacBook Pro is running 10.5.2.
    The Windows machines can see the MacBook Pro and access files on it, but I cannot see the Windows machines in Finder - thus I can't access the printers on those machines.
    If I goto 'Finder> Go> Connect to Server' and enter smb://ipadress I am able to mount the shares and access them.
    But obviously this does not help me with Printer sharing.
    Any help is appreciated, but FYI I have been reading many suggestions and none have worked.

    Go to "System Preferences/Security/Firewall" and change settings to: "Set access to specific services and applications". "File Sharing" and "Printer sharing" were already present for me, I don't know how to get them if they are not, and I don't know what the ramifications for security are. I can now see Windows computers and printers.

  • File sharing with MBP does not work

    The problem is that I cannot connect to my first-gen MacBook Pro from my 2 Ghz Intel iMac in my own home network. I have tried opening all ports in the sharing menu without success. The laptop shows up in the finder window but no connection is made. There is not even an error message. It simply says (after a long while) that the connection failed. Nothing even happens when I try to click on the "connect as" button. This is true for file sharing and screen sharing. I can connect to the iMac from the laptop, ironically enough. I was able to connect both ways at one point. My set-up is as follows: airport express connected to modem/router; iMac and laptop connected wirelessly to airport express. Any ideas would be great. I am at a complete loss as the laptop has no other connection issues of any kind.
    Update: I just got an error message for the first time: The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again.

    Connecting via "connect to server" in finder menu using afp does not work either. FYI. It just tries connecting for a long while and then gives me the following error (-36). The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "afp://....." could not be read or written.

  • File Upload UI element is not working properly inside Table Popin container

    Hi Expert,
    I created a table with popin, i placed file-upload UI element inside table popin contatiner.
    The file upload UI element is displaying properly but, when i click the browse button to select  the file, the file open dialog box is not popping out.
    will table popin support file-upload UI element inside it?
    it not is there any other way to call a file_open dialog box from inside the table popin.
    Thanks,

    If you are on NetWeaver 7.01, you can try both the ACFUpDownload UI element or try creating your own FileUpload in Adobe Flex with Flash Islands.  ACFUpDownload requires the KPRO by default (which is why the same application isn't working for you), but you can write your own handler class to act as the KPRO receiver.  Here is an eLearning on the topic:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/109b9b52-bc00-2c10-8786-e4c5e96d7e04
    and source code:

    If you want an eLearning on the FlashIslands approach, you can find it here as well:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50d42644-91ef-2b10-228c-9e0ae75b274e

    However in both of these approaches you still have to be careful with how you handle large files.  The problem is that they are processed often a single binary string.  This makes the processing easy, but requires total amount of session memory at least as large as the file being uploaded.  In NetWeaver 7.02 ABAP adds the concept of Streams and Locators to help with the partial processing of large files.  This feature doesn't come until later this year, but if you are interested you can learn about it here:

  • File sharing through i-tunes not working

    I found out reciently that you could transfer files through i-tunes with particular apps. I have tried repeatedly but no file share option appears in app section of i-phone when connected to i-tunes. A friend of mine had the same app as me an is able to use file sharing but he has a mac instead of a pc. Would that make any difference. Any help would be great,
    Thanks

    File sharing should work on both Windows and Mac, but the app has to be designed to do it. As the same app works on our friend's iPhone all I can think of is that you don't have the same version of the app.

  • File sharing 10.8.2 not working

    I have two macbook pros and a mac pro connected on a lan. two computers are running osx 10.6.8 (mac pro and mac book pro) and the third is running 10.8.2. (new macbook pro). The one running 10.8.2 can see the other two in the finder but will not connect to them after typing in password through "connact as" button. The two running 10.6.8 can file share between them no problem but get a connection failed message in finder when trying to connect to the 10.8.2 machine with the "connect as" button. Is anyone else having this issue?

  • Ethernet network not working properly

    Recently my safari haven't been able to connect to the internet. specifically my ethernet.
    when i tried to look for what other applications that can't connect. it was almost all the apps requiring internet connection. Even the software update and app store didn't respond. The only app working with internet is mozilla because i have an add on called anonymox that creates:
    Easy anonymous web browsing.
    – Change your IP-Address and country
    – Visit blocked or censored websites.
    – Delete cookies, show your public ip, and more
    i dont want to have to use anonymox to use the internet
    but i would like to change it to how it was before.
    i went back to my parents place for vacation, even their wifi was functioning well. no probs at all.
    its just the ethernet back in my dorm thats the problem.
    im guessing it has something to do with the ip address

    You need to turn off Internet Sharing on the G5. You are not sharing any internet connection from that machine.

  • Microphone of the headset not working properly

    Hi, Looks like another issue in the BB passport. The Headset provided with the phone doesn't seem to work properly. I can hear music etc however when i speak the listener is not able to recieve my voice clearly or not at all. Any suggestions ? Microphone looks to be buggy. I have used the BBVE, cleaned the socket etc etc but doesn't seem to work. On BBVE i can replicate the issue.

    Probably the headset microphone is defecive. The only way to know is to try a known working one on the phone. There is also a possiblity the headset jack or sound input circuit in the phone is at fault, but this is an uncommon type of fault. Over 95% of the time the problem is with the headset. This is not unusual with these cheaply made headsets.
    I myself prefer using a Bluetooth headset. There are no wires or plugs to be concerned with. I charge mine every night along with the phone. Most of the time I use my Bluetooth headset because I don't like holding the phone to my ear. With the Bluetooth system I can put the phone down on my desk, and the wireless headset will work for a bit farther than 30 feet from the phone.

  • File Check-in/check-out not working properly

  • How can I get multiple users to be able to share the music on iTunes? I've tried Home Sharing, but it does not work properly.

    How can I get home sharing to work on my mac mini for multiple users? It says it is working, but it never shows up in the left hand column.

    Gino Cerullo,
    Thanks for your response. I tried all that myself. In fact, last night, it all worked fine on all users. This morning, no Home Sharing would show up. It is really weird because some setting must have changed, but I did not knowingly changed anything, and now all the obvious fixes don't work. In fact, if I turn off Home Sharing and turn it back on, then it comes up only until I hit the "done" button on the set up page and then it goes away from the left hand column again. The ADVANCED drop down tab says it is on, but it is not there.
    Thanks anyway.

  • Opening PDF files using preview on some PDF file result in the content not displaying properly. The file I tried to look at has pictures and text. The pictures are displayed ok but the text is shown as pixalated boxes. The same file opens ok via a PC.

    Solutions please. Accessing PDF files online using preview normally works ok. However there are a clutch of files on the mothers union web site that although can be opened, present text as pixalated boxes. The pictures contained in the documents are however displayed OK. I experience the same problem on my Imac and my wifes laptop that runs Lion. The same site has other PDF files that can be opend OK. If I access the same problem files using a PC laptop running microsoft windows, they are opened OK with the text displayed as it should be. This is driving me mad....

    Yes. Word 2007. (You can see it in Preview if you do ⌘I or choose Tools > Show Inspector.) And it's the transparency issue. The three pics attached show the Jan 2012 newsletter (a) in Preview, (b) in Acrobat Pro, (c) again in Preview, after I saved it in Acrobat, flattening the transparency.
    For you, the solution is to use Adobe Reader -- with due note taken of

    For them, I don't know. Presumably, they wish max compatibility for their newsletter, but I really don't know how Office 2007 generates PDF. Maybe they should check transparency settings and flatten before generating PDF? Or perhaps save as PDF v1.4 instead of PDF v1.5? I would use Distiller, but perhaps they can't afford it.
