I am unable to access my shared files on Windows 7

My pc finds the MBP files just fine. But when I try to connect usin SMB, it "bounces" when I enter my password. I have checked and re-checked the password, I know it is correct. What else can I do?

Can you please describe the issue with more detail? (ie. Error messages, browser behavior, etc.)

Bootcamp unable to access my OSX files from Windows

I recently reinstalled Windows on my Macbook (Mid 2013) after it got formatted as I sent it to repair, however after reinstalling the system, I cannot seem to access my files from my OSX partition when I'm on Windows. I used to be able to do this but, not anymore. PLEASE HELP.

Please see windows 8 does not recognise Macintosh HD, No drive Letter.

Can't access some shared files

I have a computer here where the user can't access some shared files. From the machine she normally uses, the folders are greyed out. I've checked all the permissions, and everything is in order. She was even able to access the folder from a different Mac. The mac is fully patched, running OS 10.6.8.

More Info:
After trying multiple things, I have more info to solve the problem. 2 other computers (one is another iBook and the other is a PC) in the house, access the hard drive as advertised with no problems. The only thing that has changed on my computer recently is the replacement of a 1G iPhone with an iPhone 3Gs. This phone did some weird things when syncing, specifically with our photo programs. It locked up Nikon transfer and iPhoto was working strangely. I felt the best way to alleviate those 2 problems was to shut down my computer, and restart. This is when I encountered the problem with accessing the TC. Things are also a little bit more complicated because I use the TC as the storage medium for both iTunes Library and iPhoto Library, both of which I can't access given the current problem.

Hi Serpent,
Try the following Steps:
open activity monitor and close all Adobe related applications

In that directory you will see a folder named OOBE - Rename that folder to OOBEold
Navigate to: MAC HD /Application/Utilities directory
In there you will see a folder called "Adobe Application Manager" - delete it

How do I change permissions to access a shared file?

My computer has 2 accounts, mine and my wife. She has a folder with photos. When logged in as my wife, I duplicated that folder and moved the copy to the User>Shared folder. When I log in as myself and access the Shared folder I see the copied folder with the photos but I can't open the photos. Get Info shows that I don't have any permissions. How do I change that? Thanks for any help.
Owen

Sometimes, if you highlight an item and use Get Info (or keyboard
command to generate same item) you can see what user permissions
on a file are; and as the author or superuser of a computer, you may
be able to unlock them or give them a different level of general access.
Since I don't save my images to a specific user account (though my
own computers have two accounts each) these do not have the same
permission issues when used between the accounts; and they are
saved to a file on the hard disk drive accessible to both users directly.
{This is what the Shared folder is supposed to do; but I don't use iPhoto
and so this never comes up as a problem in sharing images or exporting.}
If a user or Admin creates a folder for images, and saves them to the
hard disk drive location, the other user can see and use them; but
when there are different user permissions involved, the files have to
be changed so other users can open them. There should be a way
to make the change on more than one item at a time.
Here is a link to another Apple Discussions thread with some information
which may be of use to you to more streamline the shared folder issue:
Read/Write Permissions for all users...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7944908
Hopefully this helps; if not, consider each person contributing to folders
in a generic folder on the hard disk drive you create yourself; so it will
not be in a Users folder in the first place. You can connect to these by
putting an alias folder on each of the user's desktops or in their Dock.
{You could also work around the issue by making more work for yourself,
in that you can Archive images (save as .zip) images in a folder and
under one user, those tend to not be user-protected from sharing.}

You will require the assistance of Apple, and they will require proof. Go to an Apple Store and ask them,

I have the CS3 version of Dreamweaver and am unable to access my remote files.

I have the CS3 version of Dreamweaver and cannot access my remote files. The message says "cannot make contact with host". I contacted GoDaddy (host) but they cannot help me. They said to contact you.

I have Dreamweaver CS3 and have no trouble using it to access remote files. This is not a Dreamweaver CS3 issue.
Is your password correct.
Is your username is correct
Are you in the correct "root" directory for your website?
Is the server expecting SFTP (unlikely)?
Have you checked the Server Compatibility button and tried unchecking and checking FTP optimization and alternative FTP move method?
Has your hosting provider suddenly changed to IP v 6 (unlikely)?
Have you changed your firewall?
These are things to check out in Dreamweaver in the Remote Info panel in your Advanced Site Definition.

Log and Transfer Window unable to access all the files that were stored a P2 card

I have a 64gb P2 card that was filled to capacity (63.09gb) on a recent shoot with a Panasonic HPX170 camcorder. An addlitional 16gb card was in the second slot.
I transferred the files from the 64gb P2 card to my iMac as usual, and did not see any files to transfer on the second card. When accessing those files in FCP 6.0 I only see part of the files with the last one listed as "incomplete". Four files that I see in the P2 card transfer folder do not show up in the Log and Transfer. The LASTTEXT Clip file was transferred with a 3:07pm time, the inaccessible files end with a 3:06pm time.
I have the original 64gb P2 card in tact so I re-transferred all contents to my computer and into a new folder. When I opened a new project to see if I could access all the files, only the files I previously was able to access came up.
Have I created a FCP Log and Transfer and just need to reset something in FCP? Is there a way to recover the data/restore a path to the data via FCP so I can access all the files or is that a Panasonic issue?

Oy, If it's the second or first half of a spanned clip that's missing, FCP will not import, and the camera cannot repair. There is nothing to repair, according to the camera. Files are just missing.
There are third party MXF software options that allow FCP to import the P2 files natively, without converting to QT. I wonder if they will see the MXF files, or if they too need the complete file to do so. I think most have demos.
Calibrated Softare has MXF import:

Then there's MXF4Mac:

Sharing files with windows

hi everyone,
I hope you can help:
I am running a mac mini (op sys 10.6.8).
I have a wireless network in the house through AE.
As of this weekend, I now also have a sony vaio laptop (treason I know but bought for my wife).
I have managed to connect the sony to the network, and can access internet. I have also managed to get it to print to the printer connected to my macmini.
But I am unable to get the sony access to my files on my mac mini, although it does see the mac mini. When I click macmini on the sony, the only file appearing is a dropfile, but no access to that is permitted.
On one occasion on the mac, through finder/go/connect to server/browse/connect as, I saw the sony but then it disappeared.
Any ideas?
Thank you

Firsst, on the Mini, do you have File Sharing enabled
(System Preferences->Sharing)? Also, do you have
the permissions set on folders that you want to share?
As far as seeing the Windows machine on the Mini, someone
else wil have to help there.

How can I access a shared drive in window?

Hi
I have connected a 320GB hard drive to my Airport Extreme and it is all great. I can access it from my MacBook Air but when going onto Windows I cannot see it? I have tried the 'Map Network Drive' about 50 times and it never works! When looking on Airport Utility (on Windows) and I see it. I've looked at other discussions but they keep on going on about AEPS and such that I have no idea about! Could someone give me a step by step instructions on how to access my shared drive?
Thanks

Problem sharing file with windows 7

I am tring to set up pc with the new macbook air.
I can read/write files in Windows 7 from my macbook air. However, the reverse is giving me a headache.....(seriously)
In my macbook air, Preference->Network->Advance->Wins , I set the workgroup as WORKGROUP ( my windows 7 workgroup name)
Under the Wins servers, i've added ip address of my pc. (Tried both ways)
Also I check two boxes(AFP, SMB) in file sharing.
set my username to give full permission and none for "Everyone".
Now here is the problem. In my windows 7 pc, under the network, I can see my macbook appear. When I click, it is giving me a login pop-up. There, I've entered the login name of my macbook air, and password, but it kept giving me an error message that it is not the correct one.
I have no idea why this happening. The most bazzarre thing is that it sometimes is connected with the same setting. Can anyone please help me?
This is driving me for 3 days night and day.....
Any comment/advise will be appreciated.
thanks

Here's what I just did and my Windows 7 PC sees all the folders under my Mac user name.
I didn't touch anything in Network. It was already setup in the WINS tab for WORKGROUP.
I opened Sharing from System Preferences. Selected File Sharing and after a few seconds, shared folders (user name Public) and users showed up. Windows Sharing is ON. I clicked on Options, checked 'Shared Folders and Files using SMB (Windows)' and checked my user name under Account. It prompted me for my user password. If you look under 'Windows Sharing: On', you'll see this "Windows users can access shared folders on this computer, and administrators all volumes, at \\192.168.1.xx." <--- internal IP address of your Mac.
Then, I went over to my Windows 7 PC and mapped a drive to my MacBook Pro's internal IP address. I was prompted for my userID and password which I filled in with my Mac logged in userID/password. All the folders under my Mac user account appeared and I am able to open them. This may be all you need to do. Map the Mac internal IP to a drive letter in Windows 7.

I am unable to access my shared files on Windows 7
