I can't access a shared file on remote server

I can connect to a windows 2003 server through the VPN but I can't find the shared folder any where? I can see the Printers and fax machine through the web browser. I've only had my mac for a week but I really need to get to my work files!

I find it astonishing that you can see remote printers and fax machines through your web browser, but that's a different issue.
Even though you're on the VPN and connected to the office network, there is no support for auto-discovery over the VPN connection. In other words, the OS won't go out and look for available servers/shares in the VPN network.
In order to connect to remote shares you'll need to know the server and share name which you can then enter into the Finder's Go -> Connect to Server dialog in the form smb://server/sharename (assuming you're using SMB servers in the central office).

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.

Can't publish or "put" files to remote server

Dear All,
I can't publish my website to the remote server, even though everything seems to be working properly with connection to the remote server. No error messages and the successful connection message appears. I have emptied out the Safari cache but still do not see the updates appearing on the website. I'm working with Dreamweaver CS5.5 on a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Very frustrating.

Mac Book pro can't access some shared files on a windows machine. Please Help!!!

I have a early 2013 Mac Book Pro running Mac osx 10.8.3. I also have a 2002ish dell desktop. I have file sharing turned on for several drives on the dell and the mac finds and connects to the dell. I can also see the shared hard drives, but when i try to access certian files on the hard drvies the mac said something like you do not have permissions to access this folder. The folder has a little red icon in the corner and in the get info window it said that I have custom access. Also when i try to logon to the dell from the mac using connect as I enter the username for the windows account. There is no pasword so I leave that blank. When i click login it still said in finder that i was logged in as guest. Any help with either problem would be great. I don't know if the problems are linked or what, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
-Thanks!!!

Check topic E3 at this webpage: Time Machine - Troubleshooting. See if it can shed any light on the issue.

http://solutions.webtitan.com/blog/bid/187865/The-shortfalls-of-exchange-for-archiving-are-many-Why-a-true-email-archiving-solution-is-requiredThe term archive has a technical meaning. Its a collection of information that is permanently stored and unalterable. Archives are necessary for all businesses (to varying degrees) to comply with regulations and in the case of litigation.The terms backup and archive are often confused. A backup is intended to restore the system to a state in time when there is data corruption or loss. As such, backups are overwritten with more recent information as time progresses. Archives, on the other hand, preserve data for longer periods of time and are easily searchable.Why do you need archiving?Moving email to archives helps limit the amount of data storage needed for mailboxes.

On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD on a different computer using Home Sharing? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

Yes, you can copy songs that you ripped from a CD to your Home Sharing computer.
Turn on Home Sharing first on both computers. To do that, go to File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing. Enter your Apple ID and password.
Now go to your computer that you want to copy the songs to and connect to your Home Share. You can do that by clicking on the popover button located at the left top corner right below the play control buttons. Click on it and scroll to the bottom until you see your Home Share and select it.
Go to Music in your Home Share. Select the songs that you want to copy in your Home Share and click Import at the bottom right corner.

HT201301 Can't access PDFs shared to Kindle app

I can't access PDFs shared through iTunes on my Kindle app on ipod touch - they don't appear. Have used file sharing successfully with Pages, so can't figure out why this won't work ;/

We are doing this without issue. You neglect to specify the errors seen on both sides, and how you are trying to gain access.
The issue is that your are most likely NOT being prompted for credentials. Use the NET USE command supplying the proper user ID and Password to create the drive letter. And a couple things you MUST do: Disable Op Locks on the SAMBA server. Here are snippet from a working /etc/samba/smb.conf for our grpwise share. And disable the rest of the samba shares ( login, etc... ) these should be commended out in your smb.conf. So in the end you should have a [global] section and a section for your share.
Code:
[grpwise]
comment = Transfer
inherit acls = Yes
path = /grpwise
read only = No
oplocks = False
level2oplocks = False
From the W2K8 server...
net use G: \\10.10.10.123\grpwise * /user:root /savecred /persistent:yes
* means "Prompt for Password" Oh Horrors! Using the SuSE boxes root user! You can avoid that by provisioning a user in SLES and then creating them a SAMBA password ( Google is your friend ) and then you can use that user / password. Now you will have a persistent drive what should come back.

I have converted a pdf to word. How can I access the Word file from my online account?

I have converted a pdf to word. How can I access the Word file from my online account? When it says 'download the converted file' I choose a location on my PC and click, but nothing happens. It seems that it can only save the converted file to my online account. I went to my online account but I see no way to look for the file

Hey Fabrizio,
You might need to sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf" using your Adobe ID credentials to convert your PDF file to Word.
Do you get the 'download' prompt?
Also, you can find the converted files by clicking at the 'Files' tab.
Please try the same using a different browser and check.
Hope to hear from you.
Regards,
Anubha

What is going on? I can't access my iPhoto files from any other programs. It just says "Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list", but that doesn't work. What changed?

All of a sudden I can't access my iPhoto files from any other programs (ie Photoshop, facebook etc.). It just gives me this message below. What the **** changed? This wasn't happening yesterday.

1 - close iPhoto.
2 - go to your Pictures folder and open the iPhoto Library package as shown below:
3 - locate a file named AlbumData.xml and move it to the Desktop.
4 - launch iPhoto.
5 - relaunch the other programs and try the media browser again.

How can I access my IPhoto files on Bridge in Photoshop?

Hoe can I access my IPhoto files in Bridge in Photoshop?

This is not a photography question. It is an application specific question, Please post in the Photoshop forum.
Remember, you are not addressing Adobe here in the user forums. You are requesting help from volunteers users just like you who give their time free of charge. No one has any obligation to answer your questions.
You have to export your images out of iPhoto first.

Can I access time capsule file without using imac

can I access time capsule file without using imac

From a time machine backup? No. If you mean just a regular file stored on there? Not directly. There are a couple of apps out there where you can indirectly get to a file but it's a pain. If you have need of accessing a file both from the mac and the iPad then I suggest DropBox. You get 2GB free and it's a good way to share information between machines and devices.

Hi Sharon2000,
I think you could try the Database.NewPassword Method (DAO) in the VBScript file, and you could get more information about it from the link below:

Can't access home sharing with current Apple ID info

I can't access Home Sharing with my current Apple ID info. But I can access the discussions forum with my current Apple ID info though. This is very strange. Anyone having this problem? I tried turning on the Home Sharing function in the iTunes Advanced menu, but to no avail because it won't accept my current Apple ID info. I have the ATV2 model.
Message was edited by: Charles Swaim

My ATV 2 can get view movies from Netflix and Youtube without a problem, but when there's a need to use my Apple ID for the Home Sharing function -- from either my Mac or the ATV 2 -- it won't work. It's weird how my Apple ID can access this discussion group without a problem, but can't engage the Home Sharing. I'll see if there's another update available for the ATV 2. Hopefully that might help. Many thanks for trying to help.
