File Sharing Only One-Way Now Since Soft Crash

Greetings!
Several months ago my 1.25 10.4.11 eMac suffered not a physical hard drive crash but some kind of software crash that scrambled directories. Disk Warrior made the system functional again, save an occasional prefs or cookie glitch caused by a .plist file or cookie file's permissions having been re-set by the crash as "no access" or "no read-write" or even no admin or system or user name access at all (such that Safari wouldn't take new cookies since the crash date) which I fix by re-setting read-write to my user name access and admin as secondary access.
I mention this because since the crash it seems that File Sharing on my eMac side is corrupted. I use ethernet to link my eMac with my 900mHz 10.4.11 iBook and prior the crash I could open each other's HD icon on another's desktop without a problem, but now I can only access my iBook's HD icon on my eMac but not the other way around. Actually my eMac's HD icon does appear on my iBook's desktop before the connection's broken after a few seconds, and my eMac's Sharing panel suddenly "ghosts" the Personal File Sharing listing and states "Personal File Sharing Is Turning On" when it's actually broken off.
I've done the works from changing locations to wearing Onyx and Dusk Utility out trying to remedy this but no go. I highly suspect that some critical file sharing files in my eMac may've had their permissions turned off like other .plist files were, but if so, I don't know which files are File Sharing related to check this out if indeed they're responsible. If anyone can point these out for me it might be half the battle won.
Any assistance would be welcome!

I hesitate to jump in because I am running OS 10.5.6, rather than 10.4.x ... but the a guy over in the Leopard discussions simply advised me to search the archives for a solution to my problem and the search led me here.
Sharing seems to be broken on my Mac. The finder disappears whenever I try to set 'sharing' for a folder.
The problem that James had with his machine seemed similar and I was prepared to delete the file /Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist, as suggested by BDAqua. But I DON'T HAVE such a file !! Hmmmmm.
There is one more thing that might be pertinent. I repaired permissions with DISK UTILITY a couple of times after each time Finder disappears and always receive the same ominous message that the following SUID files had been modified and will not be repaired;
- System/Library/Filesystems/AppleShare/afpLoad
- usr/bin/setregion
- System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Versions/A/Resources/runner
- System/Library/Printers/IOMs/LPRIOM.plugin/Contents/MacOS/LPRIOMHelper
I have no idea what that is all about.
Any suggestions would be welcome.

Since me and my mother moved from iChat to iMessage bêta, screen sharing works only one way. I can share my screen with her but not the reverse. When actually what I would like to do is share her screen. Video works fine both ways.

Screensharing works only one way since we moved from iChat to iMessage bêta. Before that we have never had any problem with screen sharing. We haven't changed anything else, just installed iMessage. What I need to do is share her screen, and the only thing I can do is share my screen...
Thanks for your help.

HI,
On the whole I am finding it very stable. (it presents the same quirks in the same manner each time)
It has some things that are more Feature requests than "Bugs" per se about the way it works that I would like to change.
It can also be difficult to tell exactly what is going on whenyou are hearing about it third hand.
Sounds like you have a plan.

File sharing only works in one direction

I have a 2011 iMac and a 2012 rMBP. File sharing is turned on on both machines, but when I try to connect to the MBP from the iMac, it refuses the connection. I've noticed that it works if I check that box for my account for Windows file sharing (the one that stores your password using a weaker hash I think) on the MBP, but I shouldn't need to do that, hence why I'm here.
It of course works absolutely fine going from MBP to iMac.
Anybody experience something similar, or have any suggestions short of reinstalling the OS?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

Mouse scrolling only one way

All of a sudden, my mouse will scroll only one way (down) with the trackball. I assume it's a corrupted preference(?), but I don't find the .plist item (probably not looking in the right place). Would appreciate help asap.
TIA,
Picman

Clean the tracking button. Details in http://store.apple.com/us/question/answers/product/MB112LL/B?pqid=QX2AHHD74J7F2T 2JKY9TDJY7PJ2C77Y4T Do note, that denatured alcohol on a soft cloth sometimes is needed if the residue is extremely oily.

HT1386 How do you sync only one way?

I want to know how to sync only one way because there are some photos from our previous apple devices and I don't want those photos to appear onto my new one when I sync to put the photos or videos onto the computer. Does anyone know how to do it without messing up the system?

The photos are now on your computer and you don't want them on your new iPad?
Then move this photos on your computer to another location (folder) first and then sync.

AirDrop transfer between Mac mini (late 2012) and MacBook Pro (late 2008) works only one way.

AirDrop transfer between Mac mini (late 2012) and MacBook Pro (late 2008) works only one way. I see both machines on both airdrop windows. Firewalls on both machines are set exactly the same way, and with Network Browser set to allow. Can send a file from Mac mini to MacBook, but not the other way. Never get a window asking to accept on the Mac mini.
Found no useful documentation on AirDrop anywhere in the whole support site.

Maybe this will work. From an Apple support article.
You can also use the Share button to send files to your neighbors via AirDrop. In a Finder window, select the item you want to share, and then click the Share button in the toolbar. For more information about the Share button, see this help topic:

Can I make OneDrive Pro sync only ONE-WAY?

Can I make OneDrive Pro sync only ONE-WAY?

That sucks. DropBox can.
We want to SYNC literature down to sales reps and not have the sales reps accidentally erase from the Cloud for all. Hence we want a one way SYNC to have them SYNC literature onto their computers for remote
access to the files.
Surely SharePoint cannot be that far behind DropBox.
Is there no way to achieve that?

Iphone 5 - only one way synchronization with iCal

Hello community,
Since I have my new iPhone 5 the calendar synchronization is not working properly anymore which means only one way from iCal to iPhone but not the other direction. I could not found a solution in the diverse support communities so maybe you have an idea what the error might be?
I am synchronizing locally via iTunes from a Mac Book Pro and I am not using iCloud.
It would be great if you could help.
Greetings from Zurich,
Heike Anna

This is generally an indication that the synchronization framework on your machine is not handling data changes properly, and must be reset.
To reset it, launch iSync—that's right: iSync, not iTunes—then…
• open the Preferences… dialog
• press the Reset Sync History button
That will remove the records currently stored in your truth database, and force a first-time, slow synchronization event when you next launch one in iTunes.

180 GB of my 639-GB Macintosh hard drive is used. 320 GB of my 498-GB Tie Capsule is used. Only one backup ("now") exists for the Time Capsule, which can no longer backup because of "insufficient space". How come? What is wrong?"

Thank you William for your most helpful response. I shall deal first with your three comments:
Not being tech savvy, I would not have been able to make that call myself but it sure makes sense.
I have updated my profiles as you suggest. Excellent tip.
This guidance is good. Being new to Apple Support Communities, I did not find the field a labeling and guidance to be clear, a point you make. Now I know, I shall do as you say and will use the small slim box as a header to the full message/question, which will place in the larger box below.
Secondly, I come to your question: Did anything change on your Mac recently, such as replacing the disk or main logic board?
The answer is “yes”. Two events have happened both of which concerned the Time Capsule:
The telephone company, with which I have access to the Internet and I have my email account, installed a new modum. After the technician left I had to try and get the Time Capsule and WiFi working again which ended with my having to call Apple for technical assistance. The Apple technician walked me through a number of procedural steps which effectively re-set up the Time Capsule.
Access to the Internet failed and the telephone company reset the modum. I had to call Apple again. This time the technician did not reset the Time Capsule but walked me through a number of steps tha included renaming the “site” (not the Time Capsule).
Another piece of information that may be relevant is that the MacBook Pro uses the Time Capsule for backup. Everything appears to be in order. When I enter the Time Capsule for this laptop I have backups going back for a long time.
Also, I do a weekly backup of the two computers onto another external hard drive using the Time Machine software. So I have another backup of both computers.

Can I use Google Sync to transfer only my contacts from my IPhone 4 to my gmail acct? I don't want to sync info from Gmail to the IPhone. Can the sync work only one-way? I have 0 contacts on my gmail as I'll only use it as a back-up 4 my IPhone contacts.

Can I use Google Sync to transfer only my contacts from my IPhone 4 to my gmail account? I do not want to sync info from Gmail to the IPhone. Can the sync work only one-way? I have 0 contacts & 0 calendar events on my gmail account. I opened the Gmail account specifically to for the Google Sync and wil only be using this account as a back-up for my IPhone contacts. Please Help!!

You do realize that the SIM only contains account information for your wireless account.
Moving the SIM from phone to phone does not cause any of your iTunes content, contacts, email, etc to magically appear on the device.

Why is Mail rule syncing only one way?

Odd. I've got a Mac mini and an iMac, both running 10.8.2, both with iCloud syncing Documents & Data. Mail on the mini has rules -- created on that machine -- for SpamSieve that are not syncing to the iMac; in fact, both rules disappear every few days and I only notice because spam starts piling up.
On the other hand, changes to Mail rules on the iMac are synced to the mini. The mini has been running Mountain Lion for five months; the rules only started disappearing after I upgraded to ML on the iMac last month.
Any ideas on why the syncing is only one-way?

It appears that I can't edit my original question. So here is new information. It is syncing. However, the contacts are syncing with my personal folders. The calendar is syncing from Outlook to Ipad from my personal folders. However, the calendar is syncing to Outlook in a hotmail calendar in the profile that I didn't know existed. How do I get it set right.
I tried to select the calendar. However only one calendar is available in itunes. It must be the correct calendar as it is syncing fine. So how do I get ipad to sync back to the personal folders calendar instead of the hotmail calendar in my profile?

Allow File Sharing Only

We have a VPN Concentrator 3005. How do we restrict access on the VPN Concentrator that would only allow file sharing on a particular server? I want the Remote users to be able to access file sharing only and nothing else. The server is running Windows 2003 server.
Thanks.
Diane

Hi,
I haven't use VPN Concentrator. I use ASA/PIX for both S2S and Remote VPN.
Open port 135 to 139 (both TCP and UDP) and port 445 (both TCP and UDP).
These ports are considered dangerous ports. Make sure that when you are opening these ports for user access, it doesn't spill to internet (plain unauthenticated/unencrypted) and should be opened only to few trusted users.

Dandy

My iPhone calendar and iCloud sync only one way

My iPhone 4 (iOS 5) calendar and iCloud sync only one way -- from iCloud to the phone. Any ideas why I can't sync from my iPhone calendar to iCloud?

When you add an event on Iphone, 3rd fields down from bottom, select calender > iCloud. Voila!!
I am not sure everybody understand really the intention with iCloud. It is one single calender residing on a Apple server somewhere. Selecting iCloud from any device will show this calender. Then how to sync this with other calenders is to me a mystery, or not possible, especially on Lion iCal. Please anyone.

lightning connector charges only one way on 1month old IPAD . Any idea what could be the issue ....?

Hey George,
Have you done a wireless scan of the network to see what the wireless network looks like?
I would use the program INSSIDER on a wireless laptop and scan the network for all the 2.4ghz networks.
This will allow you to select a channel that is not being used and should stabilize your wireless.
If someone is within range of your wireless signal and their signal is strong enough they can disrupt your signal.
I would try that and let us know how it goes.
