I cannot connect my Windows 8.1 machine to a shared drive on my Mavericks based mac.

Running the late 2012 iMac 27 inch iMac.
Have a shared folder that was accessible prior to upgrading to Mavericks. After upgrading my Windows 8.1 machine can not access the shared folder.
Here are the facts.
Able to ping the Mac from windows.
Can see the Mac from Windows in the Network folder.
Machines are both in the Home workgroup.
Have already disabled and reenabled file sharing both for AFP and SMB and ensured that the user i was previously using is setup for acces to the folders.
I have tried the usual suspects but so far no joy.

I have the same problem.
My iMac got upgraded to Mavericks (Mac OSX 10.9) a few days ago.
Now, my Windows PC (running Windows 7) can no longer access the files shared out from that iMac. I repeatedly get a request to enter the network credentials (domain/userid & password). Even when I enter the correct ones, Explorer on the Windows PC refuses to show the shared files on the iMac.
Of course, this was all working fine before the upgrade to Mavericks.
Additional points:
The Windows PC can still access files shared from my MacBook Pro (laptop), which is not upgraded to Mavericks.
Curiousily, the iMac can access files shared from the Windows PC (running Windows 7).

my pc cannot connect to iphone 4 using bluetooth,says no bluetooth driver.

What exactly are you trying to achieve by connecting via bluetooth? If you have a tethering plan, that's the only thing that's supported via bluetooth to a computer. It cannot sync or transfer files via bluetooth. Those are not features of the iPhone.

8.8 Client cannot connect to Windows Server 2008 error -1102

SAP Business On 8.8 on PL 18
This is not the first time I have had this issue with Windows Server 2008.
however everytime the resolution was diffrent. Now this site is causing trouble.
The issue is the client cannot connect. We have the log on window, can see the company list. type on the password and we get a -1102 error.
The client on the Server itself can log on. It is the cleints that cannot.
I checked these below.
1 SQL Native client is installed and ok.
2. Licence server is configured and ok
3. The user has admin access to locl PC
4. The SAP user name and password are correct ( client on server can connect fine )
5. The ports 1433, 30000 and 30001 are open on the server.
6. Through SQL server configuration the named pipes and TCP are enabled.
7. SQL server browser is running
The only things I have not tried are
The Firewall is running on the server and I have not yet stopped it. Will try that tomorrow.
Do you have any other ideas please ?

I have got this working but I am not confidant of the outcome - yet - I really need your expert advise here.
This is what I did. In that order.
1.     As Owen suggested I checked if there was a specified Port for the instance. What I found was TCP Dynamic ports were enabled ( SQL server config manager | network configuration | tcp properties ) and there was no TCP port specified. Assuming ( ai may be wrong) that the system assigns a dynamic port to this instance I set it up so the Dynamic port does not happen and manually specified the Port 1433. Restarted the SQL Service. ( still having the Port 1433 open in the firewall). This did not solve the issue.
2.     With the above setting still on, switched off the firewall. Went to the PC client and SAP can log on now. Now keeping the SAP client running, switched on the Firewall on the server. Log off SAP on PC client and log back in ( with firewall off ). SAP now can log on.
3.     I had to do the above step for all PCs to get them working.
4. Currently the firewall is on and clients can connect
So what could be happening? I have no clue. It is apparent there is some setting that gets saved within the PCs ( may be user profile) after the first log on with the Firewall off - to say its safe ?
However I have no idea what will happen if the server is restarted u2013 this server we cannot restart any time we want as itu2019s a critical server and runs other things.
I would still like to get to the bottom of this to understand what is happening.
I have a SAP message running too and will ask them this same question.

[Solved]Cannot connect to Windows Share printer over network.

I'm having trouble connecting to a windows printer via Samba/CUPS.
I've loaded the lp module, but I don't know if I need to load the USB or Parallel ports modules, or both or neither, since this is a network print.
My organization has provided some basic instructions for Mac users. Working off of those, I have a setup with the device URI reading
DeviceURI smb://ksong8:(password)@ucmprint.ucmerced.edu/ucmglobal?waitjob=false
For some reason, the printer reports that it cannot connect to the CIFS share, even though it should be configured correctly.
Even more curiously, I'm able to connect to the share manually with
smbclient //ucmprint.ucmerced.edu/ucmglobal -U ksong8
and then entering my password.
Am I missing something terribly obvious here? I have a sample of logs in debug mode, but they looked okay to me (as well as very verbose), so I won't put them here. I have attached my /etc/cups/printers.conf.

EDIT: Added myself to sys (somehow missed that on the installation) and did some futzing around with the GUI tools. Got some interesting results, but I need to confirm that they work.

Solved.
As it turns out, either CUPS or Samba does not like having special characters in the password inside of /etc/cups/printers.conf. They should be replaced with "%" and the appropriate ASCII hex code for the symbol.

OneNote cannot connect to Windows Live

Hi,
I'm having a problem with OneNote 2010. I want to create a notebook and share it using the "Web" option. However, when I try to connect OneNote to Windows Live, it keeps "connecting to server" for a long time and then reprompts, saying
"Unable to connect to Windows Live". I don't even get the sign-in dialog box.
I've tried the following solutions:
1. Reset IE settings
2. Checked Firewall exceptions
3. Ensured Windows is updated
Some people have bene able to solve the problem by switching off Two-Step Verification, but I haven't turned it on in the first place.
It's vital that I am able to share this notebook with my project researchers, so solutions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Arish

Hi there,
I have the exactly the same Problem. First it started on my Desktop Computer, then two days later i realized the same issue on my Notebook Computer. Logging in on OneNote online, Android- or iOS-Devices works fine.The only special thing on the
day I first realized was that I set up a different computer using Windows 8.1 and the same Windows Live-ID.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Windows Xp machines cannot connect to Windows Server 2008r2 after Update from Microsoft.

After allowing sever updates from Microsoft, My customers XP Machines can no longer connect to the Windows server shares using the server name. We get "can't find path error". I can ping the IP address but not the Net-bios name. I
can connect by ip address but have a software that must use the name "server" in an executable. The workgroup sees all of the other computers just not the server, the server see's the windows 7 machines but not the XP machines. I have
tried every fix I can find in the forums and online. I did find and AD and DNS errors during the update. Errors 4004, 4005, 4015. Things I have tried: ipconfig flushdns, renew, registerdns, nbtstat -A servername, etc.
Thanks

As IP address works but not NetBIOS name, it seems like a DNS or WINS server related issue as Milos said.
If there is no WINS server configged, check DNS settings (server side) and suffix settings (client side).
Which system is updated, Windows XP or Windows 2008 R2? You can check the recently installed updates and provide us a list about all updates just installed.

IOS app 8.1.4 cannot connect to windows 7 pro through windows 2008 RDP gateway since app update

we use Microsoft multi factor auth and radius for 2nd factor auth and that is working but the security log on the windows 7 pc shows that the app is sending the gateway machine login not the user credentials
all works fine using windows remote desktop client and worked perfectly before the app update

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
From your description it seems that you can remote connect before upgrading to latest version. Here suggest you to try reinstalling the app and check the result. Also see whether you can find any useful log for this issue.
In addition also please check by bypassing RD Gateway server and see whether you can connect to it.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

WRT54GS cannot connect to windows media center with xbox360/can stream media from PC to x-box

- running win XP MCE and set up xb 360 on wireless router WRT54GS updated from V1 to V 4.71.4 . PC wired to router and DSL signal goes by wire from wall to modem, router, PC. I can stream media through xbox but not make the WMC connection. I still get the"xbox360 not found on network". I have gone through x-box set up page and installed the setup files. I excluded windows firewall as a problem. I can connect to Xbox live and xbox live/media tests on the xbox run w/o any failures.

Thanks for your reply Yes, I can connect to Xbox live from x box w/o diff. It seems that the xbox can "see" the PC but the PC cannot "see" the xbox. My PC is XP not Vista.

Skype cannot connect on Windows 10 Technical Previ...

The topic title pretty much says it all. Error comes, saying couldn't connect, please try again later.

... peace!
I had the above the same way for some time - I just retried several times and now I cannot login due to mismatch of Windows account and skype account .. my old skype name is connected with my gmail-account and my skype-app yet with my hotmail-account ... I am sitting infront of a light blueish screen with two options: Already Skype-User? ----- New to Skype (translated from german)
.. then underneath it says: Logged in via [e-mail removed for privacy and security] - so no login via old skype-name is possible ..

Hi there,
Since yesterday I can not connect to my account. I've also tried on three different PCs at home and tried to connect to couple of different accounts. Probably issue with my internet supplier, but I've decided to search for help here at first. How should I proceed from now on?
Thank you!

I am also looking for an alternative to skype now that they have greatly disresepcted paying customers. Do you have any good suggestions?
Not known any alternatives yet. Goolge+ has some sort of function for real time videocalls, which runs on browser, without need to install anything on the background. But it's not same as Skype and it doesn't support wireless handsets.
I think there's a lack of fast working instant messenger for now. Some skilled programmers could create new P2P instant messenger to replace Skype.
Here's some ideas for it (anyone can feel free to use them):
- Open source
- Written in C or some other goor programming language that creates native code, and can be ported to any platform. Native code means, that it will run FAST, with minimum amount of memory needed to do things (that's 100% opposite of the principle of current Skype versions).
- De-centralized P2P network architecture which is not owned by anyone and which cannot be sold to Microsoft or other companies (which will just spoil the product, like happened with Skype). Little bit like Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, which do not have any "central" organization behind them and the product kind of "lives" in the network, when each node will help to keep it living.
- End-to-end encryption of all communications, with traffic routing thru many nodes (just like tor nework). No goverment / NSA backdoors included.
Let's hope that we will see something like this in some day...

I'm getting the same error messages when trying to connect over a VPN to a Mountain Lion server, from a Yosemite (10.10.2) iMac. The same Yosemite iMac at the same time has no trouble connecting to a Snow Leopard server on the same network.
By the way, there is no such thing as a "G5 (Intel) Mac". What you have is a Mac Pro tower. The G5 processors predated Intel. A lot of people tend to use "G5" as a generic term for a Mac aluminum tower. Why does it matter? Because if you not had not said "Intel", you would be getting replies having to do with the age of the computer in question.

Macbook clients cannot connect to Windows Server 2008 RRAS with L2TP/IPSec

Hi everyone,
I had installed "Remote and Routing Access" or a VPN server on Windows Server 2008. The connection type set up is L2TP/IPSec. All the Windows clients can connect to the L2TP/IPSec VPN server without problem but Macbook users are facing problem.
The Macbook users got the error message "The L2TP-VPN server did not respond. Try reconnecting. If the problem continues, verify your settings and contact your Administrator."
I think it is something related to the pre-shared key encryption but I am not sure. The Macbook users could connect if the connection type is changed to PPTP on server and clients side. I searched for similar problems and solutions online but no luck, I couldn't find solution that helps. I found this is a common problem faced by many macbook users.
Does anyone have a solution or suggestion for this, please? I appreciate all the helps and suggestion given.
Thanks,
CK

Hi,
Thanks for the question, however, this forum is for Remote Desktop Clients related questions.
Regarding the issue, as Windows clients can connect with no problem, I suspect that it is a Mac side issue and I would like to suggest you contact Apple support for help.
Thanks.
