How to remove "shared folder"  in Finder?

Hi, my home directory now appears as "shared Folder" in the top of Finder.
I selected "get info" for the home directory.
The shared folder box is not selected.
in sharing and permissions there is:
alberto(me) privilege: read and write
staff: read and write
everyone: no access.
I selected apply to enclosed items.
what is generating that "shared folder info?"
How do I remove the "sharing" of my home directory?
(In other volumes, and in the top of my home volume the permissions are: system red and write, admin read and write, everyone read only, and there is no "shared folder" info in that volumes).

That last item is usually problematical. Applying to enclosed items can cause problems with permissions.

If you have a backup, revert to the time when it was working properly.
(In other volumes, and in the top of my home volume the permissions are: system red and write, admin read and write, everyone read only, and there is no "shared folder" info in that volumes).
There have also been many bug fixes since 10.5.2 which you indicate you are running. You might consider updating to the latest version of Leopard.

  • How to remove a computer from my shared folder in Finder?

    Just purchased a new iMac. After setting up Wi-Fi network connection, from DSL, now have a unknown computer listed within the shared folder in Finder. Have no idea who this is, but want to remove it. How?

    Hi Vonni,
    Often people will borrow, piggyback, a network without meaning to do harm. They just want a free internet connection. That being said, would you trust a stranger to plug their computer into your network? The best thing for you to do is read the manual that came with your router and find out how to turn on WPA encryption. Sometimes the router companies have support lines. After this is done, it means that anyone who uses your wireless connection will have to have your network name (AKA "SSID") and password. If you give them the password, they can use your network connection. If not, then they can't. That includes friends and family, when they are at your house for a visit. Giving them the WPA wireless password won't give them access to your computer (unless you use the same password - a bad idea), it will just give them access to your network.
    There's no way that I know of to eliminate a computer from your Shared Folder area. That said, it also doesn't mean that they have access to your computer. It might actually mean that you have access to theirs!
    To see what they have access to, go to the Apple menu at the top left corner of the screen and start System Preferences. Inside there, you will see "Sharing". If you uncheck all of the boxes in there, there is little that anyone could do.

  • How to get trash folder in finder?

    How to get trash folder in finder?

    Hello Neil,
    Here's a challenging adjunct to the physical location of trash question above.  I moved home folder of my login to a different partition (data only) which all worked fine.  Then I trashed the original home folder which was on the Boot OSX partition (just to be tidy as it was not needed any longer) now the MBA says "cannot logon to this user for the time being".  So I clearly need to return the original home directory back from trash to my logon folder (eve though it is not really used).
    However, how can I access my original logon user directory in trash when I am unable to logon?  Logged on to the root directory and using your go to folder solution above I have found the trash for root but I am unable to find the trash for my actual logon (which contains the trashed home directory)!
    Any thoughts sir?  Thanks for your help.

  • How to make every folder in finder snap to grid

    Hi, does anyone know how to make every folder in finder snap to grid? Without having to go one by one into the view options?
    Thanks!

    Open a folder, CMD+J, set it up as you want it, and click on the Use as Defaults button. That will set it for all unopened folders. For those previously opened and having other settings, you'll have to reapply it to each.

    how to create shared folder between mac and windows

    Us ean external drive formatted FAT32 or ExFat. Both OSx and Windows can read/write to the drive and both can use the same data files as long as you have a program that can open and save these files. For example, Word running both on OSx and on Windows will be able to work with the same document on the external drive.

  • How to delete a shared folder from Finder?

    Hello,
    When I set up my new Powerbook, I used the migration assistant to move my files from my old PC.
    The migration assistant created a new account - Richatom2937. In order to copy my files from this new account to my own account, I created a shared folder (it got called Richatom2937), then dragged my files from this shared account into my main account. I then deleted the account Richatom2937.
    Unforutnately, there is still a shortcut to richatom2937 in Finder/Shared. How do I delete this shortcut? I can't go back to the old account to remove the folder sharing because the old account is deleted.

    You need to delete the folder in your email program.

  • Remove Shared option from Finder Sidebar in OSX 10.5

    Afternoon all
    We are using a small number of iMac’s in our network, all of which are still using OSX 10.5 (v10.5.8). As our network is predominantly Microsoft based, we have no central control over the iMac’s, thus any configuration of them is done locally via the Workgroup Manager (WMG).
    We have locked the iMac’s down using the WMG to prevent our end users from accessing certain applications etc.... However one default item that is still in place that is causing us concern is the Shared option in the Finder sidebar. If a user clicks on the Shared option, they can browse all the shared folders; and see all the devices attached to the network (Desktops, Servers etc…)
    We know that you can disabled the Shared option for the current user by click on Finder > Preferences > Sidebar. However we cannot see a similar option to disable it via the WMG. We cannot seem to find either a specific plist file for the sidebar that we could edit and use for all users.
    This raises two questions:
    Does the WMG for 10.5 allow you to disable items in the sidebar like the Shared option?
    If it cannot, do the newer version of OSX/WMG have this functionality?
    Any help/pointers would be appreciated to get this issue resolved

    Morning
    Sorry for the delay in replying.
    The lockdown is being performed on the root account. As it is a local account and cannot see the domain, there are no items populated in the /User/Shared folder
    As for editing the com.apple.sidebarlists.plist file, if we could find a way of opening it so that its contents appear in a descriptive manner so that we could edited it, then that could be a possibility. However even if we could do that, how could we use that file so that every users picks these settings up everytime they login?

  • How to remove a folder from iphoto?

    hi, i imported all my picture folders to iphoto and now trying to remove a folder from iphoto, just don't wanna see it there but i still want it in the system.
    any ideas?
    thanks,
    tk

    Ok, I am new too mac, so learning all this too but here is what i found to delete a folder out of iPhoto but not delete it from your HD.
    My scenerio. I importated all my pictures from the "Pictures" in the "Favorites" within Finder.  Unfortanutely, there were some iChat icons within the picture folder that i didn't want in iPhoto. What i found was that when i delete the pictures from iPhoto that they do not get deleted from the location on the mac hard drive...yipee!!! Here are some more details for deleting the folder but not deleting them from their location. 
    Selet the "Photos" in the left panel of iPhoto...select the folder but not on the name, this will highlight all the photos, then open the folder and drag all the photos to the trash...empty the trash on the iphoto application...the folders will be moved to the mac trash...empty the mac trash to just clean up your mac trash if you want.  You can check the original location of your imported folder to make sure the pictures are still on the HD before empting the mac trash...my guess is they are. 
    Hope this helps,
    rhythmsurf

  • Can't Remove Shared Folder

    A shared folder is showing up in my Finder. I believe that it is showing up because a friend of mine docked his iPod in a dock connected to my iMac to charge it. My friend has a PC and when I try to access this new shared folder it asks me for a registered user name and password. My friend has exhausted the possible combinations of user names and passwords that could work and we have yet to have any success. I really don't care about accessing the folder, I just want to delete it. Can anyone help me?

    I have the same issue. I have a computer showing up in my shared folder that i know nothing about. It is labeled enb59ywia16wnmo7. I do not know if it is my brothers macbook or my parent's pc as are all connected via a wireless router or an ouside computer. any suggestions?

  • How to remove a folder and some links from start-menu

    Hi!
    An application (Kaspersky Antivirus) is installed on quite
    some Win2K-SP-Workstations by the Kaspersky Administration
    Kit (with its own installer).
    With this installation an entry to the start-menu is made
    and this entry shall be removed by Zfd 3.2-SP3. I ran
    through some tests with an application-object (run as secure
    system user), which only intent was to remove this entry.
    First I tried by "Distribution Options - Application Files"
    to remove the folder "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All
    Users\Startmen\Programme\Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for
    Windows Workstations". Then I tried a "Distribution Script"
    with "RD /S /Q "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All
    Users\Startmen\Programme\Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for
    Windows Workstations"", which also failed.
    Do I miss something? Where could I check the results of
    those tries to get a better feeling on what is going wrong
    here?
    Thanks in advance.
    Karl

    When doing the job with an *.bat-file it works, when going
    with the distribution script it does not. Are all the
    windows/dos/batch commands available in the distribution
    script option?

  • How to create shared folder by default

    Hi
    I have a problem of course. I want to create new folder in my shared folders with the same permissions as the "root" folder. It doesn't work! Why?
    Everytime I create a new folder it gets limited permissions for Groups and Others.
    Please ...

    As you have discovered, any new file created on OS X is read-only to all but the creator.
    Fortunately, OS X 10.4 has a feature called Access Control Lists that will allow you to create a shared folder in which all files will automatically be read+write for all the users you specify.
    Log in as an administrator and create a new folder in /Users/Shared called "sharefolder" or something similar. Then, from Terminal, enter the following to enable ACLs on your boot drive:
    sudo fsaclctl -p / -e
    Then enter this, replacing USERNAME with the short user name of the user to be given access (you can paste the whole thing at once) :
    sudo chmod +a "USERNAME allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,\
    addsubdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directoryinherit" \
    /Users/Shared/sharefolder
    Repeat that last step, replacing USERNAME with the short user name of another user to be given access.
    When you are done, all users who you specified will have full read/write access to everything that is placed inside sharefolder in the future. ACLs are one of Tiger's most underrated features, IMO.
    Warning: Files have to either be CREATED in the folder, or COPIED there. MOVING files from elsewhere on the same volume to the sharefolder won't cause the new permissions settings to stick.
