How to see my PC's/ Macs in my workgroup from my Mac running Leopard

I am having trouble viewing any other computers (PC's and my G3 iMac) from my Quicksilver running OS 10.5. In previous versions of OS X I would click on the network icon on the left side of the finder window and I could see them, but now that's no longer there in the Leopard finder.
Using the other method (going to "Go", "Connect to Server", then "Browse") nothing shows up. It is the same on my G3 iMac running Panther, but when I click on the Network icon in the Panther Finder, I see a Folder with the name of my workgroup and inside it are all of my computers).
So basically, how do I view my workgroup computers in Leopard? BTW, all computers have file sharing enabled.

Hi,
In Leopard in System Preferences > Sharing With File Sharing selected go to the Advanced Button.
Is SMB Enabled ?
Also is the Finder's Preferences set to the Share items marked with the Red Info ?
Lastly, on the Windows Machines is Sharing Enabled (i.e Can the PCs see each other ?) If the PCs can not see each other then it is unlikely the Macs will "see" them.
(Just covering bases with this one - you seem to imply this but don't actually state it)

  • How do I COMPLETELY uninstall Avast anti-virus (free edition) from my Mac?

    How do we completely uninstall Avast anti-virus, latest edition from my Mac?  This product has really messed up my Safari browser with all the extensions and
    possible plug-ins!
    Thank you for any advice!

    If you don't have an uninstaller:
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper
        2. AppDelete
        3. Automaton
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller
      10. Spring Cleaning

  • How do i move my tv shows, movies and books from my mac to my time capsule to free up space on my mac?

    how do i move my tv shows, movies and books from my mac to my time capsule to free up space on my mac?

    Probably the easiest way is to drag the files from the iTunes window to the external drive.  Make sure they have copied.  Delete them from iTunes.  Hold down the option key and drag the copied files back to iTunes.  This will add them back but mapped to their new location and the option/alt key will stop the files from being copied to your Media folder on the internal drive.
    In future if you are adding a batch of files in one go you can set preferences temporarily to store media on the external drive, then change back again.  See also:  iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

  • Is it possible to start intel mac in target mode from ppc mac ?

    Hello all,
    Is it possible to start intel mac in target mode from ppc mac ? If so does using target mode make ANY change at all to the target disk if user doesn't voluntariliy write stuff to target disk ?
    Thanks in advance !

    Yes, you can, but with some notes. Braby sent some data, I add some other.
    Target Mode has two basic roles:
    1. to turn a mac into an external drive and/or external optical drive (if it has one, until Air era, all had); you may use this way if your internal optical drive is damaged and you wish to use the optical unit of the other mac; or use it as a simple external disk for backup purposes or else.
    2. to boot from a such-booted mac.
    #1 is usable with any two macs disregarding whether they are both PPC, both intel, or combination PPC-intel, as the behavior is like any external disk drive or external optical drive.
    #2 is impossible if you want to boot the other mac, they must be both intel or PPC, as you cannot use an intel-based mac as a boot mac for the other ppc-mac, and vice-versa.
    So said and clarified, you may use, but not if you intend to boot the other one if you wish to use it for various purposes implying boot.

  • Mysteriously my safari app disappeared from my Ipod Touch 3rd gen.  How do I reload it?  I "restored" my ipod from my Mac Book, but still no safari.  Any help appreciated.

    My ipod touch 3rd gen suddenly lost the safari app.  I restored it from my mac book sync, but still no app.  I'm wondering if when I messed around with "restrictions" through settings did something.  Any help is appreciated.

    Go to your Home screen on the iPod then swipe to the left so you see the white search field top of the window. Type in: Safari  then tap Search.
    Tap Settings / General / Restrictions. On or off?

  • How to open and close an App on my ipad from my mac?

  • How do I copy e-mail and e-mail settings from one Mac to another?

    I am fairly new to Mac and have been using a Mac mini for a few months. I have just purchased an iMac i7 and have used the migration tool to move apps and files over. However it didn't do anything with my e-mail accounts. I have several accounts setup on the Mini that I need moved over. I can't import because e-mail is not setup in the i7. Every time I open Mail on the i7 it wants me to setup an account. Is there anyway to bring the e-mail accounts and data over to the i7 without setting up Mail on the i7 first?

    I agree with Antonio, but since we don't know if the Mail app on the Mini is the same version as the one on your new iMac, I'd err on the side of caution and allow Mail on the new iMac to set up; additionally, I'd prefer to start with a new preference file. In order to make it easier, you could take screenshots of all the account windows on the Mini. You can then use those to enter the info when setting up Mail on the new iMac.
    After Mail is set up, quit Mail. Go to the location outlined by Antonio (Users-Library-Mail) and compare the folders with the folders from the old Mail app; i.e. the new Inbox folder should be empty -> remove that (drag to trash) and replace it with your old Inbox folder (same with Sent, etc). If you have old folders not found in the new location, add them.
    When done, open Mail and your folders and emails should all be there.

  • Airplay icon disappeared from Yosemite menu bar. Yet appears in iTunes. How do I get it back so I can airplay from my mac-mini

    This seems to have transpired since the upgrade of my Motorola ARRIS SURFboard  modem/router to the duel band 2.4G/5G model. (white) All my apple products work great via WI-fi and I'm getting 58Mbps average. I can stream audio through iTunes. The existing issue is simply no icon to mirror or stream content from my mac-mini to the Apple TV.

    First, open System Preferences -> Displays, and make sure that the option "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" is ticked. If it is ticked, untick and tick it. Note that you can also try choosing your Apple TV there next to "AirPlay Mirroring" to check that it shows up correctly.
