Sharing Permissions: How come I can see my ENTIRE Mac??

Hi there,
I wasn't sure whether to post this in the Windows portion of the discussion boards or here, so forgive me if I've chosen the wrong location
I am running a MacBook Pro on a Windows network. I am able to connect to each computer fine. Yay! My problem: when I open my Mac from my Windows machine I can see my ENTIRE Mac HD on the network. How do I stop this?!?

Well, I don't know that much about sharing with Windows, but you use "My Network Places" to log into a specific user account on the Mac, using the account name and it's password (logging in to an account from the Windows machine will let you see all the files and folders in that account). Sharing between Macs allows you to log in as a guest, which only gives you access to Public folders, but I don't know if this is available from Windows sharing. If not, and you want to limit the access to files on your machine, you can create a "guest" account on the Mac, place files that you want to share into the /Users/Shared folder, and log into the guest account from the Windows machine (the guest account will have access to the Shared folder, but not other accounts).

How come I get messages on my Mac Book and they don't come to my phone ?

I have been getting text messages on my computer and IPad, that do not come thru on my IPhone. Has anyone else had this problem ? I have updated all my devices and it is still happening. I have missed many important messages, because they are not going to my phone.

Hi Mutley72,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like iMessage may not be set up on the iPhone properly. I would check out this article's troubleshooting for iMessage on iPhone:

How come iMessage can't connect to my Gmail-account? I don't receive the latest chat history and I don't receive texts on my computer at the same time as my phone as I previously did.

As the topic says. I used to being able to use my iMessage the same way as on my phone. I used to receive my messages on the computer aswell as on the phone but since I changed my password for both the Gmail and the Apple-ID accounts it just doesn't work. I nolonger receive messages on my computer. Im not able to set my status to "Available" and if I try to change which account is linked to the iMessage it said that I filled in the wrong Google-talk password.
I wasn't even aware of me using google-talk while messaging?!
The first time I used iMessage I just logged in using my apple-ID. It automatically seems to have used the Gmail-account and it worked fine until now. Please help me if able to.

How come iMessage turns itself off?

Last night in the middle of a texting conversation iMessage turned itself off and switched to SMS. I had to manually go into settings and turn iMessage back on. I understand that if iMessage is not available, it will switch to SMS, but it usually switches back automatically. Does anyone know why this happened?
Thanks, Anton

Hello there anton9943,
As I understand it, you were using Messages to send iMessages to another party, and suddenly the iMessage feature turned itself off, necessitating that you turn it back on in Settings. From what you describe, I would start by signing out of iMessage and FaceTime in Settings:
If you have difficulty activating FaceTime or iMessage
Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
Then quit all the running apps on your phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device, sign back in to both services and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

How come every time I change my password for iCloud, iMessage, Apple, it either messes up on my Mac or iPhone.

How come every time I change my password for iCloud, iMessage, Apple, it either messes up on my Mac or iPhone.

I'm not sure what you mean by "messes up", but the most common reason to have trouble with one device after changing the password from another is that you have to actually go around to all of your devices and change the saved password for your Apple ID on each one if you change it on one of them, they don't update automatically. If you change the password and don't change it on your devices, then they don't know the password has changed until you try to use them.

Entourage is a third party app so stop down to the Microsoft support forums. In any case I would suspect in its preferences there would be a selection as to when (parameters) incoming mail should be deleted from the server.

Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor. The pro version of iMovie.
Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow. It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them. You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version). Personal preferences showing here.

How come I can't download anything from mac app store?
I've tried everything it all started when my apple app store icon in the doc disappeared.
It will not go to the Mac App Store
I have a MacBook Pro 2010 intel
os mac mountain lion 10.8.6 however I do not have the original copy that was downloaded from the app store when I bought it.
I NEED TO DO A CLEAN INSTALL TO GET MY APP STORE ICON BACK
Please if anyone can help apple doesn't seem to care?

If you need to reinstall Mac OS X 10.8.x (there is no 10.8.6 yet, by the way), restart your Mac, hold down the Option key so you see all the bootable partitons, and boot to the Recovery Partition. From there you can reinstall Mountain Lion. You will need a good Internet connection.

Don't know for sure but select File>Open Library
On the right you will see all the available Libraries (whose names end in ".fcpbundle")
Select the one you want and it should load into FCP X.

How come iMac works & Mac Pro doesn't - with Pegasus R4/6?

How come my iMac worked with my Pegasus R4 and R6 hard drives and my New Mac Pro does not? I have disk mounting issues when my Mac Pro goes to sleep. It also shuts down in the middle of editing with Final Cut Pro X. When opening Final Cut Pro X after I return to work, I have to reboot the Pegasus drives for the to be recognized by the Mac Pro.

Wow... Lots and lots of data. Unfortunately, the problem occurred some time in the night when I was off work. The other thing is, I don't know what the heck I am looking at.

how come my mac isnt showing my external hard drive after installing os x maverick? and how to i fix that??

How do you mean it isn't showing the external drive? If you mean on the desktop, click Finder on the menu bar, Preferences, General and check the boxes for Show these items on the desktop - make sure hard drives is checked.
If you mean it is not showing in Finder or Disk Utility, make sure it is turned on, reboot and see if that mounts it so it shows up.
