HT2518 not able to access files on macbook air from windows pc

Dear All,
I have resorted to all the options. I want to access macfiles from windows PC. I trieds out all the options. I went to system preferences> selected "file sharing">selected the folder>selected the user name and password for windows account.
But when i click the macbook on the network from windows pc, it prompts me to enter user name and password. When i do the needful it says denied access. I tried to access macbook from two different windows PC one running XP and the other windows 7. The funny thing is that this access is sometimes allowed "say 10% of the time" using the user name and password and sometimes its not allowed.
Another interesting thing is that i am able to connect to windows PC from Macbook but not the reverse option. Somebody pl suggest a way out.
Regards
KMurthi

i have done all that. Both the systems are in the same "WORKGROUP" folders.
The peculiar thing is smtms i am able to access the contents of shared folder of Mac but most of the time after i enter d username n passwd the screen just gives the message connecting to......Can this be due to communication issues b/w Mac and windows operating systems. Anyways i am facing lot of problems because of this..Interestingly i can access windows folders easily through MACA system by clicking "GO" and then "CONNECT TO SERVER" path....
Pl let me knw if anyone has any clue on how to sort this issue.
Thanks for the earlier message

    Flip4Mac plays Windows Media content, not AVI content. The codec needed to play those specific AVI files is most likely part of Perian or VLC but may not exist for Mac OS X.

  • Not able to access files from Workspace Images and Static files

    Hi,
    We have just migrated our APEX Application from one server to another.
    All the functionality is working fine except the images or files which we are uploading
    in
    Shared Components -> Static Files
    Shared Components -> Images
    We are uloading Images in Shared Components -> Images but those are not getting displayed there.
    Similarly the files which we are uploaded in Shared Components -> Static Files are not accessible. If we
    try to download using download icon its showing blank screen.
    I am using some javascript files which i have uploaded into static files, but not able to refer them in page.
    Please someone guide us how to resolve the above problem.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hello Sanjay,
    If you upload any static files such as IMAGES, FILES, or CSS you have to use the tags: #WORKSPACE_IMAGES# or #IMAGE_PREFIX# depending on your files location..
    then try something like htp.p ('<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#fileName.gif" />');
    And it should show the fileName.gif on your browser...
    I am not sure if i remember correctly, you can reference files to a specific application or to the whole application, if I am not mistaken..Correct me..

  • Finder window: Grey spinning wheel in status bar and not able to access files?

    Can anyone help with this issue which has utterly perplexed me for 24 hours now.
    I have all of my photos and videos stored on an external hard drive. Yesterday the hard drive started misbehaving and when I tried to access files it would simply not load them, the folders would appear empty (even though the files were there) and a grey spinning wheel would appear at the bottom of the finder window. This would then cause the finder to (sometimes) slow down and require restarting.
    This has continued today, the drive seems to be okay according to Disc Utility, Disk Warrior and TechTool - all of them showing no errors but the drive continues to behave very strangely. To be safe I am transferring everything to another drive as we speak.
    In the finder status bar a grey spinning "wheel" will appear in the bottom right corner whenever the drive tries (and subsequently fails) to load content. Here's a screenshot, notice also the icon for the drive changes to a blue icon with a series of wavey lines:
    I've no idea what is causing this or why its happening. It's very odd and the drive will act okay until you try to access files, then it will just indefinately show the grey spinning wheel.
    Strangely a moment ago all of my drives became "read only" (including the Macintosh HD) and were ALL doing this. The problem only occurs when my current Media external hard drive is plugged in, so I'm transferring everything off it (which I hope will be successful). It does this on any machine its plugged in to, yet it's not got any problems according to various tests with disk utility etc.
    Any help?

    i was getting the spinning grey wheel in status bar, with no files displaying.
    this thread describes re-launching Finder - which did the trick for me - though my issue was with the internal hard drive, not an external

    Firefox will not attach files (from my hard drive - mostly MS Word and PDF files) to my email accounts or job application sites. I tried using Internet Explorer and was able to attach files. So, the problem seem to be Firefox.
    I prefer to use Firefox, so please help!

  • Help - not able to access files stored on ipod

    I really need some help. I recently used my ipod to transfer files from my old windows based pc to my new imac. My ipod still has the disk use enabled, and when I open itunes, i can see that there is still a significant volume of files still stored on the ipod. This is good as I really need some of these files and my old pc literally blew up yesterday! The problem is that when I open the ipod disk from the desktop, the open window does not contain any files in it. I know the files are there, and this is supported by the "other" space used up on the ipod. Can anyone tell me how I might retrieve these files as there are some that are vitally important to me? Thanks.

    Do these instructions on how to view hidden files on a Mac help?

  • Not able to export files in any format from PP 5.5 new installation.

    Hi all.
    Hoping someone can help. I just recentlyinstalled a full licensed education version of CS5.5. I was previously running a trial version. I have been trying to export a project, yet everytime I try and export, it crashes at around 2%. I have tried a number of different export formats and have adjusted the codecs to settings that I knew worked in the trial version. It just comes up with an "Unexplained error".
    it's driving me nuts as I have to get this file output.
    the file I am trying to output is 2 hours and 10 mins long, although I'm pretty sure the length would not cause an issue as it exported fine in the trial version.
    has anyone encountered something similar or can anyone please offer a solution or advice.
    thank you in advance.

  • Not able to access home map on Mac from RDC

    I'm using Mac OS X 10.9.4 MacBook Pro Retina and connect to a Windows 2003 SP2 Server, Stand alone, Terminal Server through MS RDC 8.0.7. I have configured the RDC to enable some of my folders on the Mac. 
    But as soon as I try to open or copy to my Mac folders trough the RDC client the client locks. Seems to be a bug that I can't access my Mac through RDC.

    Hi,
    How is the issue going now? Is there any update?
    Thanks.

  • SMB sharing, accessing files on my mac from windows xp

    Hey, I have my mac, 10.5.1, sharing a folder in my documents folder using SMB. I access it from my windows machine and some of the files are locked and cannot be accessed. How can i fix that? When i use ls -l it shows up the files but some don't have rwx on all the permissions. also there is a + or @ sign after most of them, what is that? Any one know how to make it so my xp machine can read and write files back to my mac using smb? thanks

    It's hard to go further without getting into the nitty gritty of your network. Have you considered setting up a unique user as the owner of the files you need to share, and actually have the Windows users sign on to the Mac as that user? Also, only the 'share' user would manipulate the files from the Mac side.

    hi,
    As mentioned due to not having the default listener port 1521, we are facing this problem.
    As meniotned i had changed the emoms.properties file and changed the port and my emctl page is opening.
    But am not able to access the other parameters like ASM, Servers, Clusters etc bcoz since in some file it is looking for 1521 default port.
    So is it better to go for emctl deconfig and config again or to change the port the files which required.
    If i do in what are the file the default port will be located related to emctl.
