Firmware Upgrade now no file sharing

I recently installed a firmware upgrade on my E3000 to firmware version 1.0.04.build 6. Since the upgrade I am unable to see any of my files on my network computer which is running windows 7. Before everything was fine and I could stream to my dvd players and dish receivers. I've tried everything I can think of to fix this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mr. Bernard,
Thank you for your question.
However, the Small Business Support Community is limited to Cisco Small Business Products and the E3000 is not a Cisco Small Business Product.
Your question below relates to a Cisco Consumer Product which our community would not be able to help you with.
The best area for you to post your question would be at the Linksys by Cisco community: http://homecommunity.cisco.com/community.

Now that File Sharing is available. Two questions about feature.

Now that File Sharing is available. Two questions abou the new feature.
Question 1 - If you have an individual subscription, can you share your files with someone else who has Creative Cloud subscription such as design agency?
Question 2 - If you have a Team subscription can each member choose which files they sync so they don't sync everything all the time but still have access to the entire team files?

No to both, unfortunately.

E3000 Router Update now no file sharing

My router just updated to Firmware version: 1.0.04 build 6
Operating system: Windows 7 SP 1
Software version: 1.3.11006.1
Now I can no longer see my network on my Bluray DVD player or other sharing devices. My file sharing worked before this update.
Any suggestions.
Thanks in advance

Is your bluray player connected wirelessly to the router? Did you reset the router after the update? If the answer is "yes" to both questions, then you may need to configure the wireless settings of the router the way it was set before so that the Bluray and other wireless devices would be able to reconnect automatically.
However, if the router router was not reset, then what you can do is a powercycle. Leave the devices unplug for a minute and turn them back on. When turning the devices back on, it should be router first.

Linksys e4200v2 firmware upgrade fails -bad file

I'm trying to upgrade my frmware to the lastest one (classic firmware)
I've downloaded this file multiple times http://homedownloads.cisco.com/downloads/firmware/1224693043651/FW_E4200_2.0.37.131047.zip
When I try the firmware upgrade (manual upgrade) and select the file, it always complains about the file being corrupt (using the .ssa file in the zip).
How can I solve this issue?
Kind Regards, Jurgen

Hi, I’ve noticed that all smart routers’ classic firmware starting from E4200 v2 to EA4500 contains .ssa as the file extension. So, the moment you load a firmware with that file extension then the router should automatically read it. What you can do is to use other browsers or better yet use another computer just to isolate the problem. If that will not work then try the following:
Download the tftp utility (select version 4)
Disconnect the modem from the router and just have the computer connected to the router's ethernet port
Assign a static ip address on your computer
Lower the speed of the computer's LAN card to 10 half duplex
disable any firewall or anti-virus software on your computer
Run the tftp utiilty

Zen Sleek Firmware Upgrade, now my Zen is kap

First off, if the answer to this has been posted I apologise, Ive been trying to sort this out for about 4 hours now and I've tried every fix Ive found listed on this site.
ok, here goes
I wanted to get stuff from online music store, looked it up, found that firmware updgrade 2.0.03 was needed for Play-For_sure functionality.
Downloaded it, did all the bits n pieces, shut down everything, unchecked the detector etc etc etc, double clicked the the firmware to install, and it started.
About 2 mins in, the player reboots, and one of those annoying WinXP windows pops up asking what I would like windows to do each time I connect this device (A) use WMP0, (B) use mediamonkey or (C) Take no action. I selected C.
Player shut down, and the message onscreen was player was rebooting........90 mins later still the same thing.
I was loath to disconnect the player or fiddle with it in any way as I know from past expierence, messing with firmware upgrades can be tear jerkers, so I looked around this site before I did anything. On seeing nothing about firmware stalls I did the only thing I could, tried the firmware installation again, but my PC could no longer loacte the player.
I started trying everything listed, recovery mode, format, reload firmware, checking the USB cables on other PC's etc etc etc
My Zen Sleek is now, it seems, completely buggered. There is now no firmware on it, and my PC cannot locate it at all.
OS: Win Xp
Player: Zen Sleek 20gb
Firmware: (It was .00.05 then upgrade to 2.0.03)
Can anything be done?

I had the exact same problem as Drake. I tried to update the firmware, it didn't take, now my Zen Sleek has no firmware on it and the firmware update that I downloaded from Creative tells me that my player is not connected and will not let me install the updated firmware.
While the firmware download (ZenSleekP4S_PCFW_LB_2_0_03.exe) does not recognize my Zen Sleek, but Windows recognizes it, and it shows up as "Zen Sleek" in the device manager.
I installed the first hotfix from the KB article listed above. That worked fine. I tried to install the second hotfix, but Windows said that the 2nd hotfix was already installed on my system.
I then did the registry edit. There are two "CurrentControlSet" entries under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM. I navigated to the USB folder in each and changed the permisions for each.
I then uninstalled the player from the Device Manager and rebooted.
After reboot, Windows recognized the player again and it shows up correctly in the Device Manager.
However, the firmware update still tells me that the player is not connected and will not let me install the firmware.
Help, please.Message Edited by bsteggeman on 07-09-2006 07:39 PM

After upgrade to maverick - file sharing ask for permission to open files

after updating to maverick. my files i share with my office pc. can't open the document & ask for permission from the computer or administrator for asstiance. very time i have open up info and push "apply to enclosed items". for to get these to open and work. worked fine before maverick. seems its not to keepping the sharing and permission info. need help! plus I have tryed to use it in drop box ,plus in other folders but they all seem to be doing the same thing. Or do I have to go back to mountain lion or lion?

Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper (v 2.8). Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
The effects of having actually used MacKeeper to do anything are a completely different matter. The fastest way to take an exquisitely designed and painstakingly engineered Mac and make it run like a steaming pile of dung is to install and use such ill-conceived "cleaning" or "security" products. This is just one example of a broad category of time- and money-wasters capable of causing damage that can only be rectified by reinstalling OS X, restoring from a backup, or completely erasing your system and rebuilding it from the ground up. Never install such junk on a Mac.
If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.

Disrupted firmware upgrade, now no screen

Hello,
I bought my macbook in July 06 and I love it. However have just encountered my first problem.
On Sunday night I downloaded all of the software updates, however wasn't able to install the firmware updates until tonight. I have been away since and not used it. I turned it on tonight and it kept shutting down and I read that the firmware update would fix it. So I followed the install instructions and shut down. When I turned it back on I could hear the mac booting up but I got a black screen. I have tried all of the troubleshooting I can find online and in my user guide but nothing has fixed it. I've even tried testing the video display using the install disk. This is my first mac in 15yrs so am a bit of newbie. I'm not entirely sure what version of OS it's running I do know it's 10.4 and now I can't get the install disk out. The fan is just running but nothing else is happening. Does anyone know of anything else I can try?
Thank you in advance.
Macbook 13" Mac OS X (10.4)

So I followed the install instructions and shut down.
Are you certain there was nothing out of the usual during the firmware update? If there was, you may have to reinstall the update by first restoring your firmware to it's orig. point. See this page for more info....
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/firmwarerestorationcd12.html
Try booting with the 'Option' Key down and seeing if you're presented with your start up disc to start up from. Check out this page for some other trouble shooting tips...

Personal File Sharing Keeps Turning Off.

I have a second notebook, a Powerbook G4 Titanium 667 which is still amazingly useful for all but the most demanding apps and I regularly leave an external hard disk connected to this which I access by attaching to the G4 from my Macbook, via Finder, in the Server section. I authenticate and then choose the external disk volume and it mounts no problem.
My issue is that since a recent batch of software updates (perhaps a week ago), I no longer see the G4 in the Servers list. I returned to the G4 and found that Personal File Sharing was not longer enabled. I re-enabled it and locked the preferences again. I then see the G4 from my Macbook, connect as before and the volume mounts for a few seconds before being disconnected. I am then unable to reconnect. When I visit the G4 again, I find that the preferences are still locked but now Personal File Sharing is DISABLED.
I've not found any way around this, but console indicates that AppleFileServer failed. The crash report log does show the error. Here's the head of the file's last entry:
Host Name: powerbook-g4
Date/Time: 2008-04-13 08:52:48.696 +0200
OS Version: 10.4.11 (Build 8S165)
Report Version: 4
Command: AppleFileServer
Path: /usr/sbin/AppleFileServer
Parent: launchd [1]
Version: ??? (???)
PID: 6379
Thread: 4
Exception: EXCBADACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERNINVALIDADDRESS (0x0001) at 0x00705000
I've found references to other apps causing this but no mention of this with a G4 / 10.4.11. Any advice appreciated.

Welcome to the forums!
Reading the title I was certain I knew the answer, but I've never thought to have anyone check or report the Log on this, soooo, maybe I don't know and this might be something different.
But usually this is fixed by dragging one or more of these files to the Desktop, Rebooting, setting up again... it may just be one, or many at a time needed...
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
/Users/nnnnLibrary/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
Then, if it's certain other kinds of connections, there may also be files like this...
/Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.networkConnect.<ethernet MAC address>.plist

File sharing problems and horror story (nearly)

I use Leopard on a MacBook Pro, a MacBook and a iMac G4 800 MHz (unsupported model).
I have on the iMac and the MacBook Pro many users (the same ont he two machines) and I always use Fast User Switching.
I have had very few problems with Leopard until now; I like it even if there are some glitches or some new features which are not my cup of tea (hierarchical menus missing from the dock, stacks useless when there are many items, FireWall impossibilities (?) to open specific ports, Back to my Mac working on a Lan but not from outside until now, problems with a few apps (Parallels networking erratic), ...
Now about File Sharing.
Let say my main account is user1 (Administrator), and I have another user2 also administrator, plus user3, user4 standard users.
On the iMac I activate File Sharing.
On the MacBookPro, as user1, if I connect to the iMac Server (using afp://IPaddress_of_theiMac/) I do NOT get the dialog
"Enter your user name and password to access file server YYY
Connect to server as Guest or as Registered User"
but I directly get the dialog
"Select the volumes you want to mount on YYY"
From this, if I select user1 it mounts with full read/write permissions which is normal. It appears that I am connected with my Apple account user1&mac.com (same as mentionned in the Account panel of System Preferences).
On the other hand, if I try to connect to the user2 account, I only get limited access although in the File Sharing Preferences, user1/iMac is mentionned with full Read/Write preferences for the Home Folder of user2.
What is very surprising is that if I log on the MacBook Pro as user2, or user 3 or user4, then connect to the iMac, I first get the dialog to enter a user name and a password. This gives me access with the correct full permissions on user1/iMac or user2/iMac using the corresponding user name/password pair; this is the usual behaviour which is missing when trying to connect from user1/MacBook Pro.
Now for the Horror Story!
Trying to understand what was going on with the permissions of the user2/iMac account, I logged in to the iMac as user1, went to the Users folder and from there had a look on the informations about user2 home folder. In the lower part of the pannel, Sharing & Permissions says "You have no access" (which is normal) and this is followed by a table where users and permissions are listed. It seems user1 has Read and Write access in contradiction with the preceding phrase...
Anyway, I tried to modify these authorizations for user2 by clicking on the lock of the Information pannel and entering name and password of the administrator. Didn't go farther than that. By mistake, I hit Command-Delete and user2 was GONE from the list AND NOT ONLY from the list in the Information window! Using Fast User Switching and going to user2, nothing left on the Desktop and NO Home anymore.
In the System Preferences/Accounts panel, user2 was still mentionned.
In the Users folder, no user2 folder anymore.
Using once again Fast User Switching, I logged as user2 and got by magic an all new Home. Nothing left in Documents, Library or other user1 folders. Standard settings for icons, dock, etc.
My first move has been to use a very recent backup to restore everything (Thank you Mike Bombich from Copy Cloner!).
Once everything was back to normal, I had a look at the Trash from user1 and guess what, the Home folder of user2 was there, complete.
So now I am left with two questions
why is it I do not have the same dialogs when connecting from all the accounts although as far as I can see, configurations are the same?
why is it possible, from an Information pannel to delete the account of another user?
Thank you all for comments!

Server Admin Problem - File Sharing fails to load

We recently switched over from a 10.4 server to an Intel Quad Core Xserve running 10.5.8. Things seemed to be working for about a week but now The File Sharing part of Server Admin fails to load. After spinning for a few minutes I get a kNetworkError on the File Sharing Service.
I'm not totally through setting up all the share points so this is causing quite a problem. Otherwise the Sharepoints that are set up are working properly. The first time this happened a server restart cleared the problem. This time nothing seems to help.
Anyone have a cure for this?

The problem seems to be getting worse. Once the error occurs some of the other services are not available through SA either. Anybody have any suggestions, or is it a reformat and reinstall situation?

Software update has broken file sharing

Hi,
I ran software update for the first time in a few weeks yesterday ... and now my file sharing is broken. I have 2 USB drives shared from my mac mini running Leopard and I access them on my MBP (running Leopard and Win XP). I couldn't connect to either drive after the restart, but everything is the same in System Prefs > Sharing. None of the shortcuts I used previously work, and trying to access the mac mini by IP address yields nothing either (although it is pingable).
Any help on this matter would be greatly received, thank you.

I know this doesn't solve the problem but I'm having the same issue trying to connect to my iMac G5 PPC 10.5 from my Intel MacBook running 10.6. I got frustrated and did a Time Machine restore from about a month ago and it worked like a charm. Once I did my System Updates on the iMac though... No dice. So it's definitely the update- I know for me at least knowing what the problem is helps some. May just be a glitch in the update in which case all you can do is wait...

Can not activate Personal File Sharing

I can't seem to get Personal File Share to be active on one of the computers on the network at home. It is my wife computer, G5 running 10.4.8. we just updated to the version and now the file sharing is grayed out. I am running a G4 with 10.4.8 and we are both on an ethernet network. We both have different IP numbers and I can mount my computer on her computer (I have no problem turning on File Sharing) but I can't get her file sharing on. Any suggestions

I have "Show Hidden Files' enabled on all my machines, so not certain it will be the same on yours, but...
Bring up the Root level of the Boot HD in Finder, locate "automount" folder and open it.
Start the Terminal window, type...
cd and a space, drag the "automount' folder to the Terminal window, press Enter, this should change it to look something like...
bd8:/Volumes/Machintosh HD/automount bd8$
then you can type in rm space and drag the 2 files one at a time, (Servers & Static), over to terminal. Hitting enter will trash whatever is after the rm, so be careful.
(I'm using the Finder to drag because it reduces typing errors, but you could type it all in).
cd back to root and rm the Network at root level.
Reboot.

Windows file sharing can no longer work after tiger upgrade

hi guys, ive been searching the web to find a cure on my problem for a long time now, but still no success, hope someone could help me out.
ok heres my problem, before the upgrade, file sharing with windows is perfect, with no problems at all, but when i upgraded one of our mac to tiger, windows file sharing is not working anymore, i cant connect or see my windows xp computer on the network and vice versa, windows cannot see my mac with tiger on the network.
Our other 2 macs here running in panther are fine( meaning, windows file sharing is working)
Now we've bought a new computer which is a mac pro with fresh install of leopard, i setup the windows file sharing, but i was surprised that i cant see my windows xp box too on the network, and vice versa, the pc cant see my mac pro too on the network, whats wrong with tiger and leopard file sharing???? please help me, im so frustrated cant make it to work. i know, my pc computer has nothing to do with it, coz i can still connect to a mac with panther os. hope someone can help me fix this... please..

This site has some information on file sharing and printer sharing between Windows and Macs for various combinations of OSs. The Leopard repository isn't quite as mature as the Tiger repository, but there's a lot of good information at this site. Hopefully, it will be helpful to you in resolving your Windows/Mac issues.

File sharing no longer works after upgrading from 10.3.9 to Leopard

I'm trying to do file sharing on my PowerMac G5 with my MacBook Pro. The problem is when I try to connect to the G5 I get no response.
Powermac G5 was just upgraded from 10.3.9 to Leopard 10.5.6 (clean install, then used Migration Assistant to copy over files). File sharing worked fine on 10.3.9 until I upgraded the G5 to Leopard (the MBP has had Leopard for several months).
MacBook Pro is running 10.5.4.
From the Finder I select Go->Connect to Server. I select "browse", and the window that opens shows my G5 in the list (it's the only one). I double-click on my G5 and near the top of the window it shows "Connecting..." with the little spinner at the bottom right of the window, but that is as far as it gets. Just no response after that.
I tried to Ping the G5 but got no response.
At first I was trying this wirelessly through my Zoom DSL modem, but to troubleshoot I hooked up the two computers directly with an Ethernet cable but got the same result. No response from the G5.
I have File Sharing turned on in the G5's System Preferences. All 5 users have as least their write box shared. I've even set up a separate shared folder in one account.
Please, if you have any ideas please let me know. I'm stuck.
- LW

Wow. 64 views and not a single reply. I found a workaround, but I can't explain it so I'm going to keep this question unanswered for now.
I had the firewall on the G5 set to "allow only essential services", and file sharing was listed but still not working. However, if I change the firewall on the G5 to "Set access for specific services and applications" file sharing would work. I could sit there and toggle back and forth between the two settings and watch file sharing alternately work and then fail depending on the setting.
Weird.
