How can i do to automatically see connected PCs on my network?

Hi, all
I've a problem, and i hope you'll be so kind to answer: i've just bought the new MacBook, but as i connect to my LAN i can't see in the Finder "lateral bar" the other PCs connected to the network.
If I click "cmd+k", and digit "smb://computers.address", i can see them and do whatever i want, but if i restart the system, OSX doesn't automatically reconnect to those PCs.
I've noticed that if i connect to the University network, or to any other network, i automatically see other connected computers, without doing anything, in the Finder "lateral bar".
Why in my local network it doesn't happen?

Hi, K T, and thanks for the welcome!!
I'm sure i've not explained properly my problem, english is not my first language
The fact is that Snow Leopard doesn't automatically see other computers connected to my home network, although it does immediately if i connect to other networks.
The question is: do i have to change some parameters of my network settings? From my Windows PC i can see all the other PCs, and i can also login in my MacBook and see the Shared Folders!! But from the MacBook i can't see anything, if i don't use "smb://..."

How can I find out who is connected to my Airport network?

I want to see if people are stealing my internet, is there anyway I can find out how many specific users are connected to my airport express?
Thanks very much.

Open Airport Utility and log into your base station.
Then on the Summary window, click on "Wireless Clients".
This will tell you how many people are connected and what ID's they have.

How can I add an additional ethernet connection to my existing network?

Greetings:
What follows is a question from a newbie, so please forgive my ignorance:-)
I have been trying to connect Logitech's google tv unit to my existing Airport Extreme network via an ethernet Cat-5e cable. The Logitech unit's ethernet port is blinking, but the AP Extreme's LAN port does not. I'm sure I have to re-configure my Extreme and have searched, but have not found anything that has worked. I'm sure this is a simple matter, but like I said...newbie:-)
My setup is as follows:
Time Warner Cable modem–to–AP Extreme via WAN–to–Apple IMAC via ethernet.(This set-up works fine to provide internet to my computer as well three other wireless devices) The set-up to the Logitech is: AP Extreme via LAN ethernet port–to–Logitech ethernet port with a CAT-5e ethernet cable.
Any help would be most welcome and greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Hello bardlight. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Based on your configuration description, the Logitech TV is physically connected properly to the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). You do want it connected to one of the available LAN ports on the AEBSn.
By default, the AEBSn, is performing as a DHCP server. Also, by default, most computing devices are configured as DHCP clients. What this means is that the AEBSn should be providing the proper IP addresses to any connected (wired or wireless) in order for that device to access both the network and on to the Internet.
It sounds like that Logitech TV is just not configured properly as a DHCP client.

How can I get an automatic connection to wifi on startup?

We lost internet connection during snow/ice storm. I have to manually connect to wifi now. How can I get an automatic connection to wifi?

An 'uninterruptible power supply' that automatically steps in and takes your computer
off the grid momentarily, will work in cases of brown-out (under-power) & surge (spike)
and it does so at a fast rate. Most of these also offer a way to customize sensitivity to
a certain degree, depending on model and should there be a valid reason to do so.
An old-school surge protector, even if it has a few fancy LEDs, is no protection. And
for less than a replacement logic board or an hour of authorized Apple repair, the UPS
is a fairly good investment. Backup battery is user-replaceable in the better made units.
Most of them offer extra ports that do not use the battery-backup power feature. If you
need to have more items run when the power switches up/down or out, you'd need to
consider a larger capacity backup power unit. In some instances, the makers of these
(for a time, perhaps even now) did caution users to not install more than one UPS per
room when the same leg may have inadequate grounding, since these can dump the
excess surge power from several different UPS units and overload the ground.
That said, the gamble is yours. I've found to have and use these is some protection
and when away from the computer. Most settings for controlling them appear in OS X.
No additional software is required. Other settings may be on the UPS front panel.
Good luck & happy computing!

Your computer? If that's what you mean, this is not a Java question. It's an OS operational/administrative question. Executing any program, whether written in Java or not, based on some system event has to do with that system, not with the program. If it's possible to do this, you'd do it exactly the same way for a Java program as you would for any other program.
Or is "it" the program itself? If this is what you mean, then it's a nonsensical question. For the program to connect to the network and detect that it has connected to the network, it must already be executing, so asking how to execute it at that point is meaningless.
Finally, I'll point out that "connecting to the network" is a pretty meaningless phrase. Or rather, it has so many potentially valid meanings that it's impossible to know which one you're referring to when you use that phrase. And I'd be willing to bet you don't have a clear picture of that yourself.

Hey, Jeff...
I don't know how I could have made my question any more clear -- so let me try approaching it the other way around, and refer back to your answer(s).
You've been responding by saying that it's okay for me to remove the Creative Cloud versions of my software, but I don't have any Creative Cloud versions installed! I'm not talking about that at all, I'm talking about the software for Creative Cloud itself -- I don't use it, I don't need it, I don't want it, and all it does is nag me, telling me that there's updates for it (Creative Cloud). I have the full Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard bought and paid for, I have no reason nor need to "rent" any later versions, I'm just talking about the Creative Cloud software itself that got installed on my system when I installed that suite of programs.
Like I said, I don't use Creative Cloud at all -- all it does is "nag" me, and eat up space on my hard drive. When I go in my Windows Control Panel and look at my list of installed programs, there it is -- "Adobe Creative Suite" -- and it's listed separately from "Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard" (of which I've only installed Photoshop, Acrobat and InDesign, basically, as those are the only programs I use at all at the moment). Can I just uninstall "Adobe Creative Suite" without it affecting "Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard", i.e. my Photoshop, etc. will still work just fine, and I can still get updates and stuff? And by "updates" I don't mean get later versions of Photoshop, etc., I just mean any possible updates to the software that I do already have (that comes with Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard).
I hope that makes my question a little more clear?

When I connected to iTunes, my phone said it was in "restore" mode, but I don't know why. Iam afraid that if I continue with the restore, I will lose my recent pics. How can I check iCloud to see if my pics are there? Will I lose my pics if I restore?

How can I disable iPhoto automatic launch?

Hi,
I do not use iPhoto to import my digital images. How can I disable the automatic launch when I plug my camera or card reader?
Thanks!

Hi Paul,
To do this just open Image Capture, open its preferences and then under the general tab you can select the option of "When a camera is connected, open:"
Just select no application and that should do it.

How can I tell the device is connected to itunes 12?

how can I tell the device is connected to itunes 12? I have Windows 8. I hear that the device is connected, but don't see the device to manage. Only thing that happens is on the phone it says Trust the computer.. I say Trust and nothing happens.

in ituens at the top where you see the small icons for Music, Movies, TV etc when your device is connected you will see a small icon representing your phone or ipad etc popup click that and it will show you the usual interface for backup and syncing.
if that doesnt happen, like it didint for me initially, you should close itunes fully via task manager if you know how to do this and start it again with the device unplugged then plug it in after itunes has finished loading.
Worst case scenario you nee to resatrt

How can I know which clients are connected to my network through express and which are connected through extreme?

I have an airport express extending, through wireless, a network provided by an airport extreme. How can I know which clients are connected to my network through express and which are connected through extreme?
Here you can see both routers:
I would expect to some clients connected to the express, other than the extreme. And that's all I see: only the airport extreme appears as client of the airport express.
Below, one can see the summary of the config for both routers.
Would somebody explain it?
Thanks,
Marcelo

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter
and uncheck the box labeled Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible, if it's checked.
If the drive has more than one interface (USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt, eSATA), try one of the other interfaces.
Check that the data cable is securely inserted at both ends.
Try a different cable.
If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
Disconnect all other devices on the bus, or as many as possible.
Test the drive with another Mac. Test another drive with this Mac.
If the drive is bus-powered, but has an AC adapter, connect the adapter.
Start up in Recovery mode and launch Disk Utility. Is the drive recognized?
Start up in Safe Mode and test.
Reset the NVRAM.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, and if another drive does work with the same Mac, then the drive is malfunctioning.

Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
