Help. Can't see Volume in My Network folder!!!!!!

Hi all,
I have a 7 G5s and 1 G4 computer, of which I upgraded to 10.4 from 10.3.9. I have updated all OS to 10.4.6. I have 2 small hubs with which I network the computers and 2 printers.
All but 1 G5 can see and access the Public folder of each computer. In each of the Public folder, I have a FULL ACCESS folder, to which you can read and write, along with the default Drop Box.
I have a problem with one of the G5s, when I try to connect to the *problem computer* from another G5, I cannot see the VOLUME in the *SELECT THE VOLUMES TO MOUNT* window. I can see the problem computer in the *My Network* folder, but not the VOLUME when I connect. *+I had no problems before I upgraded.+*
From the troubled computer, I can see and connect to all other computers on the network. I have not changed any settings on this or any of the other computers. Actually, I have no problem with none of the other computers, of which all can copy files between each other.
Has anyone ever seen this problem? It's really wierd since only one computer has the problem and all were upgraded the same time.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

Several things you can try on that one G5...
Repair Permissions, (good idea after any upgrade).
Try from the Finder's Go Menu, Connect to Server, then type in afp://ip.of.other.g5
In Finder>Preferences, toggle off the Sidebar>Show Network Icon, reboot and tirn it back on.
More to try, but let's see if any of these help.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5

After upgrading to OSX 10.8.5, my MacBook does not detect any wireless nertworks. My iPad and iPhone work fine, my router has been rebooted, WiFi is turned on, and the ethernet connection is how I am writing this message to you via broadband. There are a half dozen wireless networks in range (according to my iPhone) but the MacBook cannot find the router I am sitting next to. Any ideas on how to correct this issue?

It appears an SMC reset was required:

Here is your other post: MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5
If you reply to it and marked it "solved", perhaps with a link to that post (copy and paste it, or just say you performed the SMC reset) it will help others find a solution. Thanks!

Can't see volume bar! Please help...

Hi everyone,
I just got an ipod video and love it. However, today I cannot see the horizontal volume bar at the bottom of the screen when playing songs. Instead there are about five clear circles at the bottom. I can turn the volume up and down but I just can't SEE THAT.
If you could please suggest things I may try I would greatly appreciate your help. I hope I just messed up the settings or something and did not break it.
Thank you for your help in advance.

Those 5 circles are the "ratings" circles. Mine has frozen on those before. I just hit the center button a couple times and it went back to the volume bar. In case you didn't know, when you're on the volume bar and you hit the middle button, you go to another type of bar that allows you to fastforward or rewind the song/video, you hit it again and you get the 5 circles that you can turn to stars by runnin your finger over the wheel. Like I said before, that is your rating....Hope any of that helped, lol.

How can I see /tmp on a Network Volume?

So if I'm using Connect to Server AFP volumes when I connect in Finder to the root volume of another machine directories like /tmp are not visible how can I see /tmp and other folders?

That and all the other Unix directories are invisible. They are invisible so that the user cannot access them and because they do not require access by a user. Is there a particular reason why you would need to access /tmp or the other invisible files and folders?
In order to see invisible files and folders via the Finder, you must turn on the capability. You can do that by opening the Terminal application in the Utilities folder, and at the prompt enter or paste the following command line then press RETURN.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
To turn off the feature substitute No for Yes in the command line. There are also numerous third-party utilities that can do this such as TinkerTool and ShowHideInvisibleFiles - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Can't see each other on network after installed OS 10.9.3

After i installed OS 10.9.3 on all of my Mac stations, they can't see any of the Mac anymore. The network router works fine, but they just won't see each other. I found these problem after install OS 10.9.3 to 2 of my Mac Pro. They can't connect to the Macbook Pro runing lower version of OS 10.9.2. Please help.

Can't see files on a network Hard Drive

So I have a new airport extreme and I wanted to put a drive on the network. I have two HDDs: one is the time machine that I normally have connected to my computer and another is a Hitachi that I just have Movies on. Both of them will show up under the APE in the shared, but none of the files that are on the drives show up as being there. I also tried backing up when my time capsule was on the network (I could see the shared drive icon on the desktop) but it said the backup volume couldn't be found. When I look at the disks in the airport utility it says that they have things written, but I can only see the empty free space when I open them from my MB. Can I access the files that are normally on the drives from the network without having to reformat them?
The Hitachi is formatted under the Journaled Mac OS as well.

I had the drive on a user password, but changed it to just be accessible if you were connected to the router. With this setting I can see the files on my movie drive, but when I try to do I time machine backup, it just sits on the "making backup disk available" and never is able to start the backup. Is there some trick to allowing the disk to backup from the airport?

Upgraded to 10.5.8 and now can't see either of my networked printers

Hello all, I just upgraded my G5 dual 2.5 to 10.5.8. I have two printers that are both connected to separate Airport Extremes. My G5 ethernet port is connected to a linksys WET11 wireless ethernet bridge, which is in turn connected to the wi-fi network of the main airport. Here is my problem. I can surf the web just fine, so clearly my G5 is seeing the Airport. However ever since upgrading to 10.5.8 I can't add either of my networked printers in the printer setup. It just doesn't see any printers. I've reset the printing in the OS (control clicking on the print prefs and resetting followed by reboot) I've rebooted both the printer and the airport separately and I've double checked that the printer is set as a shared printer in the airport admin software. My laptop (an ibook g4) also running 10.5.8, has no problem seeing both networked printers and printing to them. I'm flummoxed as to why my tower suddenly can't. (It could see both with the exact same setup running 10.4.11) Any ideas? Your help is greatly appreciated, since this is very frustrating! thanks,
-Andrew

Your network setup is a little complicated. Can you explain it a little better and confirm that there's only one DHCP server in it - all devices get IP addresses from one of the Airport Extremes, for example?
It sounds like maybe you have two or more separated subnets.

Can't see volumes with Mac os x server install

I'm having a problem installing MAC OS X Server on a RAIDed MAC PRO (3 drives @ RAID 5: Here are the steps that I have done so far with no luck: created a RAID level 5 with RAID utility from CLIENT OS install cd that came with mac pro. Created one giant volume with the entire contents of disk space on the RAID with the CLIENT OS install cd/RAID utility also. Rebooted, the MAC PRO, ejected the CLIENT OS cd, inserted MAC OS X server install CD. When I get to the screen where I choose my volume to install the OS on, I can't see any volumes. I was told by Apple and CDW (reseller) to go to disk utility and do an ERASE on the volumes, that should format the drive and should be seen by the OS X Server install. It didn't work. It's interesting that I can install the normal client OS after creating my RAID, Volumes, etc... But the OS X Server install DVD doesn't see the volumes during the install process, OR using disk utility from the OSX server install disk, but disk utility on the MAC OS X client CD sees it fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric

Does Apple support their RAID card in Mac Pro using Server? or does Server need to be updated? Minimum requirements for Mac Pro RAID card is 10.4.10.
You could try the cheat method: install everything on a single drive and clone it and see if it works.
From a discussion yesterday or Monday, only Apple drivers are supported on the Mac Pro (firmware?) and not 3rd party retail drives (a bummer) so you've got nearly $2000.

Hi
The Wlan card driver seems to be installed properly so I think that you have forgotten to enable the WLan
note: the FN + F8 switches between the BT and Wlan.s o be sure that Wlan has been chosen instead of BT connection.

Replace old router with WRT110 and now I can not see shared printer on network

Replaced a BEFW11S4 with a WRT110. Now I can not see a shared printer on the network any more. I have not changed anything on the computer that has the printer shared. I can see the internet on all the computers, but not the shared printer. can you help?

First which you need to check, is your printer is working Offline on your computer. In this case you need to Re-map your Printer on your Computers back again. First check if you have any Firewall or Antivurs Installed on your computer try to disable it and check if you are able to print from your computer. If not then try to Remap the printer on your computer.
Go to Network connections window and if you are able to see your computer name on which the printer is installed, then right click on the Printer and click on "Connect" or "MAP" once done you will be able to print from your computer.
Note down the IP address of the Computer on which you have Installed the Printer. (Click on Start - Run - CMD and click Ok, now in the command prompt type "ipconfig" and note down the Ip address, Then go to your other computer and Click on Start - Run - CMD and click Ok and now in the Command prompt type "ping (IP address of your main computer) and hit enter and check if you are getting any replies. If yes, then again click on "Start - Run - type ( \\ip address of your main computer) and click Ok, and now you will be able to see your printer name then right click on it and click on "Connect" or Map, once done, now check if you are able to print from your computer.

IMac can not see Windows machine on network

Hi guys,
Before the AirPort Extreme Update 2007-02, my iMac can connect and share with my Windows machine. However, after installing the AirPort Extreme Update 2007-02, my iMac can not see my Windows machine work-group anymore. How to fix this problem ?
Im using 20' iMac running on Mac OS X 10.4.8
Please help.

If reinstalling the current update doesn't work, perhaps that is because the update was completed properly, but in the process has messed up configuration settings files and preferences. If you can't find any problems in your settings through System Preferences, then there are probably hidden errors in the .plist files and the way to correct that is by manually wiping out all your network settings files and redoing everything in Network preferences may be a quicker fix than brain surgery. Try deleting these files, then reboot and redo your network settings appropriately..
These are all in the folder /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration:
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
com.apple.nat.plist
NetworkInterfaces.plist
preferences.plist
Note, this will wipe out all network-related settings, and force the OS to rebuild default preference settings files for the built-in network devices. This is sometimes the only thing that will clear up bizarre networking issues, but generally speaking, it works well.. just don't forget to thoroughly note all your proper network settings including wireless network passwords and all that before you perform this house cleaning for reference as a precaution.

Mac Mini can't see the same wireless networks as a Aluminum 24" Imac ....

I have a question for ya'll. Is there any reason why my new Mac mini 2.0g system can't see the wireless networks that my Imac can?
What I mean, is that I can see two Networks with my Imac:
1. Mine
2. Other networks around me.
On the Mini, using 10.4 or 10.5 My mini can only see my wireless network. Which is only 1 foot away from the mini (and Imac).
It has been suggested to me that my antenna is bad ... Are there ways to test this? Or is it just inherit for the mini?

The Mini has a much smaller antenna (the size of a larger postage stamp) -- and it is located in the back upper right corner, as you face the mini from the front.
The antenna is less capable than the larger antenna in the iMac, and it is more easily blocked. Make sure nothing is between it and your wifi router.

Help. Can't see Volume in My Network folder!!!!!!
