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).

  • Sharing only working in one direction

    Hi all.
    I just installed iTunes on my PC and laptop. I setup sharing on both. My PC can see the library on my laptop, but my laptop isn't seeing the PC library. Any ideas? I can ping each machine from the other, and shared drives are visible.
    If it matters, what I have in the PC library is a Lost episode I downloaded and some ACC audio files from a CD I imported.
    Thanks,
    Karl

    Make sure you have sharing enabled on your PC.

    And while you SHOULD be able to see the audio files you ripped from CD, and be able to play them, videos/movies/TV Shows do NOT share across computers. Sorry.

  • Google iPad Sync Microsoft Exchange - Sync only works in One Direction

    I have setup my iPad to sync with Google calendar using Microsoft Exchange, which supposes to work bidirectionally.
    I found that it only works in one direction such that anything in my Google calendar (includes all the subscribed calendars in Google) got sync to my iPad. After I add a new event in my Google calendar, it is pushed to my iPad.
    On the other hand, any new event I add to my iPad calendar is not updated and shown in my Google calendar. This means the sync works only in one direction:
    Google Calendar Event --- sync ---> iPad (works perfectly and the event is pushed almost pushed instantly)
    iPad Calendar Event. --- sync ---> Google Calendar << FAILED >> (Event entered to my iPad never shows in the Google Calendar)
    Sync works unidirectionally but not bidirectionally
    Anyone has encounter this problem and is there any solution?

    I am having the same problem. Would be good to have a solution.

    I don't think the solutions here are for the question that's posed.
    I have an Exchange account set up on my iPhone 4. I want my Exchange calendar to sync with my Google calendar. I set up Google Sync, and I can see both calendars. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to get the two calendars to sync with each other. i.e., if I create an event on my iPhone, it doesn't push to both calendars. I have to pick one or the other.
    The solution Stanley Wong suggested only sets Google as your default calendar; it doesn't actually sync the calendar events between the Exchange and the Google calendars. Unless I missed something?
    Is there a solution for actually syncing the two calendars with each other? It seems like we should be able to create an event on the iPhone and have it sync to both phones without having to have Outlook open on a PC and using Google Calendar Sync to do that.

  • Problem: Bookmark sync only works in one direction

    I have 2 computer, computer A has vista and computer B is a netbook with XP. The problem is that the bookmark sycn only works in one direction.
    For example: both my computer has the same book marks (previously sync with X-mark which is now disabled). I decided to do some clean up on computer B. If Y sync computer A, nothing happens, but when I sync computer B, all the cleanup I made has been undone since computer A override all the changes I made to B.
    In other words, the changes I made to B can never be applied to A.

    When you're doing a "clean-up" like that you need to use '''Reset Sync''' in Tools > Options > Sync - Current Account = Manage Account and use the ''' ''Replace all other devices with this computer's data'' ''' option. See the attached screenshot - use the third option.

  • Hotsync only works in one direction

    I recently shifted from a PC on XP to an Imac on OSX 10.5.
    I have a Tungsten E and have Palm Desktop 4.2.1 installed on the Imac, with Open at Login activated.
    Hotsync seems to run well, with no error messages in the log, but on looking at the result, sync'ing of the calendar has only gone in one direction. A new entry in my handheld has transferred to the Imac, but a new entry on the Imac has not appeared on the handheld. This never happened with the PC, in that any new entry was sync'ed, irrespective of where it was entered.
    Any suggestions to make this work in both directions will be gratefully received! Thanks, JohnP

    Thanks for the response.
    I went to the Hotsync manager and then to Conduit manager as suggested.
    Interestingly, while it is set at a default of "Synchronize the files", the "Last Hot Sync" entry was "never" - for all entries, not just calendar.
    This despite the fact that when I have connected the handheld and Imac via the USB cable, I get the messages on both that sync'ing is proceeding. And there are no error messages.
    It seems that something else is preventing me from sync'ing. 
    Any further suggestions?  John

  • Logitech G400 mouse wheel only works in one direction

    Hi All,
    I just purchased a MacBook Pro Retina 15" version and I plugged my almost new Logitech G400 into it and I notice that the scroll wheel on the mouse only seems to work in one direction. I've installed the logitech gaming drivers, but there aren't arent scrolling options in there, so I suspect that it's Mac OS that's to blame here.
    By default it was only allowing me to scroll to the top of the page by scrolling the wheel down. I've since reversed this, so that when I scroll down, I move down the page - the problem being if I scroll to far I then have to use the trackpad. As stated, I have tested the mouse as working in a Windows 7 machine, so I suspect this is a problem caused by the OS.
    Has anyone experienced this issue and if so, how did you fix it?
    Thanks,
    Craig

    Doing what they did in the video is fine - up to a point. After a while however the clogging gets so bad the method shown won't work anymore. Dampening the cloth helps somewhat, but not for long.
    Mine finally got in this condition so I took it to my local Apple Store. The Genius there cleaned it with a surgical swab (the type the nurse wipes your arm with when about to stick a hypodermic needle in it). Did a good job too. The Genius had a supply of about 200 with him and let me have a few.
    I have found that this is the only lasting way to clean the roller. But it doesn't stay clean forever of course and also I eventually ran out of the gratis swabs.
    Since I ran out of these swabs my mouse has gummed up all over again. In fact it has been like this for so long now that I have abandoned it in favour of the Magic Mouse. I only use it now when booted into Safe Mode or from a Boot CD as the Magic Mouse doesn't work in these situations.
    Yes, I know the Magic Mouse is a tad more expensive than a box of surgical swabs, but have you tried going into your local Chemists and asking for these surgical swabs lately?. The idiots won't sell you any because they assume that you are a junky and only want them for injecting yourself! I kid you not.

  • Mouse Track Ball only working in one direction

    Hello,
    My Mighty Mouse is 3 months old and now the track ball is only working in one dircetion.
    When I move the ball forward I hear the distinct sound and the scroll bar on e.g. Safari moves, but when I reverse there is no movement on the screen.
    I don't hear the same sound as when I move the track ball forward.
    I have tried to reboot but no improvement.
    Have someone seen teh same issue? Is the solution to simply replace the mouse?
    Thanks / Christer

    Use the instructions in this article to clean the mouse.

  • ICloud with Numbers: Only Works In One Direction?

    Hello,
    Trying to get started with iCloud and a problem from the outset;
    I use two computers;
    iMac OS10.8.5
    Macbook Pro OS10.9.2
    and Numbers 2.3 on both.
    When I upload to my iCloud the files can be read by both computers if I upload from my Macbook, but if uploading from my iMac the Macbook does not seem to see the files within iCloud when 'Open Files' within Numbers. I have the iCloud set up the same on both machines, and iCal seems to work in either direction.
    How come? And no, I don't really want to go to Yosemite yet.
    Many thanks for your time in answering. Ash.

  • SMB File Sharing only works for Admin Accounts???

    I'm using a mac mini as a small file server. It will share files to WindowsPCs using SMB but there is a problem.
    On the Option dialog where you select accounts to share files and folders using SMB only Admin accounts show up. This is far from ideal as I'd prefer to using Sharing Only or Standard accounts.
    Is this a known issue? Is there a solution?

    What permissions are you setting on the share?  My guess is you are only using user, group, and other (POSIX).  You need to add an ACL to the list and then set read/write or full control.

  • File sharing only works for users with Admin rights

    Hi.
    I am trying to set up file sharing in Lion Server but am having problems getting all my users access to shared folders. So far, only users that are "allowed to administer this server" are seeing shared files, even though they seem to have "read/write" permissions.
    Can anybody tell me what I might be missing?
    Is being allowed to "administer" the server different than truly being an Admin?
    I want to allow users to read and write files, but not change any server settings.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • SMB file-sharing only works if Firewall is Disabled

    On my Mac, I've turned on File Sharing, enabled SMB sharing, and set the firewall to "selected services and applications" (SMB is listed as a service in the firewall application list). I cannot connect to the Mac from a Windows XP machine.
    If I turn the firewall off, however, I can create a connection and transfer files from the PC client side. In addition, once I have established a connection I can then re-enable the firewall and continue transferring files.
    Has anyone else seen this?
    Jeff

    file sharing seems to be working... you will probably have to authenticate prior to beginning the file transfer though, so that is likely what is failing in the first instance.

  • Copying files from one workstation to another only works in one direction

    I could copy files from my workstation to another workstation but could not copy files from that workstation to my workstation.  There are 2 Cisco switches between these workstations.
    I found out that one switch had its workstation ports hard coded to 100Mbps but the uplink ports (on both switches) were set to auto (the uplinks were 1 Gbps ports).  This caused the copy problem.  Once the w/s ports were set to auto, the problem
    went away.  I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this problem but found that the solution was something different than what I found?
    William Fearn

    I don't think that is possible, to platform specific. You'll need to make the directories accessible without password protection, or use another way of copying the files, such as FTP. There are multiple FTP packages available for java, such as:
    http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/net/
    (of course that would require setting up some sort of FTP server)

  • S2S VPN only works in one direction

    I'm very new to cisco devices but we recently acquired a catalyst 2911 device for our co-lo cabinet and I am trying to get a site-to-site vpn connection working between the facility and my offices network as well as a remote access VPN for me to use in case I have to fix something while outside of the office. 
    The office's gateway is 66.119.163.2 and the device is a TZ210 with it's LAN network being 192.168.1.0 /24
    The co-los gateway is 204.244.50.254 and the device is an ASR 2911 with it's LAN network being 10.0.10.0 /24
    The S2S VPN connection is up between the two locations and the 2911 device and the servers within it's LAN can ping and RDP to the office's machines.  The office network can only ping the LAN interface IP on the 2911 which is 10.0.10.1 but not the servers in the network.  the site-to-site VPN was set up with the CCP wizard.
    How can I allow the 192.168.1.0/24 network to see the 10.0.10.1/24 network and why do I only currently see the gateway?
    If need be I can post my running-config file with the preshare keys redacted. 

    I would suggest that you change your vpn client pool to be in a totally unique subnet.
    For example:
    10.20.20.0/24
    ip local pool SDM_POOL_1 10.20.20.200 10.20.20.250
    Then a few ACLs to be modified:
    access-list 101 permit ip 10.10.10.0 0.0.0.255 any
    access-list 105 permit ip 10.20.20.0 0.0.0.255 10.0.10.0 0.0.0.255
    access-list 105 permit ip 10.20.20.0 0.0.0.255 10.10.10.0 0.0.0.255
    ip access-list extended 106
       5 deny   ip 10.0.10.0 0.0.0.255 10.20.20.0 0.0.0.255
    ip access-list extended 107
       5 deny   ip 10.0.10.0 0.0.0.255 10.20.20.0 0.0.0.255
