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.

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"

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 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.

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?

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal.

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.

File sharing between macs oddly not working

I'm trying to share folders between two macs running Lion (at work so sharing is important) but the one computer doesn't connect.
The problem.
Mac1 is set up to share and appears in the shared list on Mac2.
When Mac2 tries to connect to Mac1, I have a Connection Failed with a pop up that reads
"There was a problem connecting to the server " 'Users' iMac".
Check the server name or IP address, and then try again. If
you continue to have problems, contact your system administrator."
Mac1 can actually connect to the shared folders on Mac2 so there only seems to be a conflict 1 way..
I don't have any other alerts throughout the system that relates to IP address and Mac1's name is correct.
Really puzzled. My knowledge of IP address and problems with IP conflicts is limited so I'm not sure how to get things to work..
Hope you can help.

Since I installed the new OS X Lion, the iCal syncing through iTunes is not working properly.

Since I installed the new OS X Lion, the iCal syncing through iTunes is not working properly.
When I sync my MacBook Pro with my iPhone and iPad, the events set in both devices (iPhone & iPad) are not transfered to the iCal on my labtop. Events created in both devices are transfered and copied betwen them when I sync them with the iTunes app (through the MacBook Pro) but they are not trasfered/copied into the labtop (iCal). The events created in the iCal (on my MacBook) are tranfered to the devices as two events on same hour. One, with the description created on the iCal, and the other as a New Event (no description). This is happening since I installed the new OS X Lion last week.
I file a report and talked with an Apple Support Representative, but they could not help me. They have not receive any other reports on this matter. Do someone has confronted this issue. I need to find out how to solve this problem.

JAD

Hi Sydness,
Thank you very much for your help. It just worked fine. I have 4 macs in my company for 25 years (one is updated each year), and it is the first time I could not solve a problem for weeks. It gave me the opportunity to join this great community.

Tuner not working on my TouchSmart 300

Situation: Brand new TouchSmart with tuner not working out of the box.
Driver appears to be installed and working, but tuner will not pick up any channels.
Both ATSC(antenna) and NTSC(converter box used) were scanned and nothing picked up in either mode.
Both LiveTV and Media Center give same results.
HP will be picking it up to be serviced. I'm wondering if it's a Window7 Home Premium 64 bit and driver issue?
I suppose it could be a bad card.
Driver was uninstalled and reinstalled - did not work
OS was reinstalled (online chat said that reinstall fixes 5 of 10 computers with this problem)
Computer: HP TouchSmart 300 - 1000z
Driver: AVerMedia A323 MiniCard Hybrid ATSC version 1.1.64.46
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
Any ideas? I really like the computer, I really don't want to deal with the hassle of shipping and setup again.
Thanks

This seems like a possible problem with the device access point settings. Are other applications able to connect to internet, for example browser?
